CONFESSED TO MURDER.
John Gilbert Admits Killing His Wife
 and Children.

Emporia, Kan, March 6.-John Gilbert, in his cell in the county jail today, confessed to brutally murdering his wife and four small children near Enterprise, Kan, on last Tuesday.
 Gilbert, for whom a reward had been oI- fered, was arrested here yesterday. He feigned not to know of the crime, and to- day at first slammed insanity. Finally, hard pressed by Sheriff O'Connor, Gilbert confessed the crime, going into details. Gill bert said he was badly in debt, and had been trying to leave Enterprise for long time He could not take his family, he said, and offered his wife a divorce.
 "She kept nagging me about the chiid- ren," said Gilbert, '.and throwing them up to me, and I told my wife if she would give me ten dollars I'd leave and never bother her any more. During the night l got up and went out into the yard. Coming back. picked up the hammer and nit the baby in the head. My wife ran out into the road and was going over to the neighbors'. I ran after and caught her. She said she'd come back If would behave, and thought I would go But when we got in. why the baby was thrashing about on the bed, ana when saw 1t could not hold myself but hit my wife on the head and pounded her till she could not move, and then took the children"
 When asked why he did it, Gilbert said: 'I don't know; 1t seemed like l just could not help 1t after seeing the baby there on the bed"

MINERS STRIKE
 NOT YET SETTLED
No. Serious Clash Between Op-
 posing Interests Has Occurred. UNION MEN ARE GAINING
Those Imported to Take the Places of Strikers are Rapidly Leaving. Trouble Will Extend
 to Other Fields.

Little Rock, Ark, March 6-The coal strike is still on, with little prospect of an early termination, although there has been no serious clash between the opposing in- terests. There are about 250 men out at Russellvi1le.e e
 All the miners at Huntington are out. but quiet prevails. At Bonanza every miner Is out and determined to stand by their demands. Mass meetings are being held at Denning to induce non-union men to join the union. At Spadra several un- successful efforts have been made to get miners and operators together, but both stand firm.
 The non-union forces are reported to be decreasing at Wilbur and 1t is said the i'm ported men are leaving every day. The United Mine Workers are steadily gaining ground in Coal Hill and will be organized solidly there in short time. The report that 100 ex-convicts had been brought to Hartshorn from Pana proves misleading There were only forty-eight men in the crowd. The mines are being worked par tially, but the strikers claim that every ton of coal produced is costing the company at least s5 ton.
 
 says the struggle will extend to other fields. Said he: ''I expect to go to Kansas in a day or two and will ask every miner in that state working for a company controlled and operated by those in Arkansas and the h. dian Territory to lay down their tools until this difficulty is settled, or an attempt is made to settle 1t by the operators
 Other Mines Close Down
 Houston, Tex, March GA special to the Post from Denson, Tex. says: The United Mine Workers association have scattered walking, delegates at the several mines and forbade members of the union going to work The small mines, the Samples and Edwards. shut down today. This has stiffened the backbone of the strikers At the other mines the situation is but little changed. but is favorable to the strik- CTS. Instead of men going to work this morning and other mines opening, the sit- uation has, been reversed, and other men have quit, work. ,. The Katy officials say that there Is plenty of coal in sig--s, and they do mot seem at all worried over the situation.-ns,ss

TEXAS LEGISLATURE
Passes Resolutions Commenting Bailey
 For His Stand.

Austin. Tex, March 6.-Therec was a lively discussion in the house this after noon over a resolution offered by Represen- tative Wooten endorsing the action of Con- gressman Bailey In protesting against the seating of Congressman Joseph Wheeler. Representative Tarviver was recognized and protested against the adoption of the resolution, saying that while he had a great personal admiration for Bailey, that he saw no reason why his political future. anent the United States senatorial race two years hence, should be boosted to the detriment of gallant old Joe Wheeler, who went to the front in the interests of his country Representative Bailey, from Dewitt, spoke in favor of the resolution, saying that Bailey was a patriot in fighting for the sound principles of democracy and the peo- pie of the south, and the press had sounded their approval of his course and the legis- lature should do likewise.
 MT. Kittrell regretted exceedingly that the possibility of Bailey being candidate for United States senator two years hence should be dragged into the discussion at this time when 1t was decidedly out of place and not at all ip keeping with the sentiment of the resolution.
 After some further discussion the house adopted the resolution by a viva voce vote.

DISASTROUS FIRE
 AT WEST POINT Nearly $4oo,ooo Worth or Property Destroyed. NEGRO SCHOOL WAS BURNED And Later in the Day the Cotton Com press, Together With Large
 Amount of Cotton Was
 Consumed.
NEGRO SCHOOL WAS BURNED

Memphis Tenn, March GA special to the Commercial-Appeal from West Point, Miss, says:
 Nearly $4OO0OO worth of property was destroyed by fire here today. The Mary Holmes college, an industrial school for col ored girls, burned this morning and this afternoon the cotton compress. shed, etc., together with a large amount of cotton, was destroyed.
 This morning about 6:sO o'clock an alarm was sent in that the Mary Holmes semi nary was on fire. The building is situated far outside the fire limits of the city. mak- ing the response of the department useless as far as extingushing the flames was concerned. The building was soon mass of flames and being famed by strong wind, the magnificent structure was quick ly made a mass of ruins. All of the in mates were fortunate in escaping uninjured but large portion of their personal affects were lost Dr. Henry Payne. president of the institution, was severely burned about the face and hands while trying to save his desk containing valuable papers and records. The fire was caused by the burn ing soot from the chimney in the cook room. The building was erected two years ago at a cost of $5O,0OO. The equipment cost s1OO or $15,OO0 more. The total insur- ance is only $40, ,OoOO.
 At about 3:9O this afternoon spark from a Mobile and Ohio engine started blaze among the cotton bales in the compress yards and as a perfect gale was blowing from a favorable direction the fire spread as if in a powder magazine and in an in- stant the entire yards and warehouses were in a blaze, producing great clouds of flame and smoke. An alarm was instantly turned in, but to no avail for the fire had spread so rapidly that nothing could be done but to watch $500 900 worth of property go up in smoke. Five thousand bales of cotton were in the yards and were con- sumed as were few cars that stood on switch nearby. The total loss of the press together with the warehouse and cotton, the managers say will reach fully $30O. 900.
 R. C.McDaniel, the compress weigher and for many years identified with the cotton interests of this secton. in attempting to obtain some papers from his office, was caught in the blaze and burned to death. The press and cotton were insured to the usual extent of such properties.

Bro 1ght No Counter Reports

"While I had not known from previous observation that Cervera's fleet was in San- tiago, believed 1t was there because had been so informed by the navy department, and during the eight days the St. Paul re- mained off Santiago. the different vessels touch there and communicating with me had brought no counter report from the navy department"
 With reference to the statement that he had confirmed the difficulty of coaling off Santiago, Captain Sigsbee says:
 There had been weather unfavorab!e for coaling, but I remember no statement of mine relative to coaling made to the admiral excepting on the morning when we jointly discovered the Spanish vessels. Inc commanding officers were assembled on board the Brooklyn. On that occasion l twice informed the admiral that the weather then prevailing was unusually ia vorable for coaling. and 1 recommended that advantage be taken of 1t on the ground that so good an opportunity could not be expected often. At the same time l expressed the belief that Guantanamo bay should be seized as a base, not neces- sarily by Admiral Schley, but as soon as troops were available to hold the place..

NOTED PRISONER
Again Gains His Freedom and
Walks Out of the Auburn
Penitentiary.
Special to News-Democrat.

Auburn, N. Y, Dec. 19.-The Auburn
Prison Communication board recently
passed upon the men to be dismissed
today. There are seven in all, among
them being Dan Noble, the once notor-
ious robber. Noble was convicted of
grand larceny March s, 1871, for partic-
ipatiOn in the famous bond robbery
case at Oswego. He was sentenced to
Auburn for five years. After serving
almost a year and ten months he es-
capped. He had been allowed many
privileges in the institution and with
the aid of several confederates while
the guard slept, in broad daylight, sue
ceeded in making a hole in the prison
wall and securing his freedom. Noble
went to Syracuse and worked his way
to England. He travelled through Eu-
rope, continuing his operations, and
served a term in Berlin. Upon his re-
lease from prison there he returned to
New York taking up his residence un-
der his own name. He was known to
the police, but no attempt was made to
apprehend him until three years ago,
when he was taken back to Auburn.
After freedom of 25 years he served
out the rest of his sentence and today
breathes the air of freedom again.
