Bowling Green, Ohio, March 26.-De-
velopments since the capture to-day OF
John and Paul Zeltner, in Wood coun-
ty, indicated that they not only DELHI
Grated over the bloody defiance of law,
but also prepared for it by having a
large stock of ammunition in their res
idence, two miles from Hoyt's Corners.
e. II. Westenhaver, ex-Solicitor OF
North Baltimore, has been their at
torney in numerous cases. and sued
them for his fees. The jury and wit
nesses had been sworn yesterday be-
fore Justice Burgoon, in the township
house at Hoyt's Corners, in Weston

joined in demanding the papers and

Of the day and during the night They
not only went to the trial fully armed,
but they had ammunition at home for
continued fusilades and still left a
large stock on hand
While the feeling is intense around
North Baltimore on account of the
murder Of Westenhaver, It Is equally
intense around Hoyt's Corner on ae-
count Of the killing Of their neighbor,
Clarence Weidmeyer. who was with
the sheriff's posse last night. When
Weidmeyer fell volley after voiley was

Are They Living Too Hixh?

Havana, By Cable.-Considerab!
comment was caused here by the pub
location Of a dispatch from the United
States, embodying the charge made
by leading New York newspaper,
that Governor General Brooke, Briga
der General Ludlow, military COVER
nor OF Havana; Collector Tasker Bliss
and Major Davis, sanitary officer at
Havana, have been receiving extra al
lowances out CT the Cuban revenues to
maintain themselves in luxury. The
feeling among Americans in Havana is
| that this charge is based upon a seri
| Gus misapprehe.Ision of the facts. The
| suggestion of luxurious living per-
| plexes the Cubans, who are in a posi-
| tion to contrast the democratic way in
which me1 holding the high rank held
| by General Brooke and Ludlow con
duct their establishments with the pro
digal habits OF the old Spanish regime.

Issue Of God Certificates.

Washington, ID. c., Special.-The
Treasury Department has made requi-
sition upon the Bureau Of Engraving
and Printing for the printing of $1O,-
GOO 900 gold certificates, in denomina
tons of $40 each. The Treasurer now
holds large unissued supply of certi-
fcatcs of the larger denominations. 1t
IS the evident intention of the Treasury
Department to be in position to issue
gold certificates freely for gold coin,
should the fall movement OF currency
lead 10 a demand at the Treasury for
gold certificates, in exchange for gold
coin. IL is to be noted that while gold
coins can be freely had in denomna-
tlons of fives and tens, the law restricts
the issue of gold certificates to denom>
nations of 500 or multiples thereof. II
is debatsble question. therefore
whsther gold certificates will adequate
ly meet the demand for money OF small
denominations.
