GENERAL
JIMINEZ is
JUGGED.
The Cuban Police not Acting Hon.
estly Military Authorities
Took Affair In Hand.
DOMINICAN REvOLUTIONlST
Arrested as He was About to Sail.
He Denounces his Detention
as an Outrage.

HAVANA, August 1s.-In view Of the
fact that Colonel Bacallao, chief Of the
secret police, persisted in his declara-
ton that General Juan 1sldro Jlminez,
the asplrant to the presidency of sGnto
Domingo, was In Havana, either not
having left or having returned, the mill
itary authorities telegraphed to Glen
fuegos, instructing Captain stampeF,
collector of customs there, to ascertain
whether Jimines was on the Mendez
steamer, and to take him under arrest
II that should be the case. Just
about as the steamer was leaving Glen
fuegos Captain stamper located Jlmi-
nez, and arrested him. JlmineS de-
nounced the arrest as an outrage. He
said he had broken no law, and would
not yield except to force. Captain
stamper replied that he was ready to
use force If necessary, and JIminez
then yielded, remarklng that he did
so only because he could not help him
self.
Senior FrIas, mayor of clepfuegos, re-
fused to make the arrest, claiming that
General Jlminez was an old personal
friend whom he had known intimately
for years. When JIninez was taken
into custody, Senior Frias was found,
with a police inspector, in close con-
yersation with Jiminez and the iatter's
secretary. It is believed the mayor
was urging him to leave the steamer,
to conceal himself and to wait for a
better opportunity.
Captain stamper informed Jimines
that he would make him as comforta-
bic as possible, and, after Jlmines and
his secretary had packed their trunks
they were driven. accompanied by the
chief of police and Captain stamper to
the Union Hotel, where two bedrooms
and a. dining room were placed at their
disposal. General Jlmlnez viii be
kept under police charge until further
advices are received from the governor
general. There is much excitement
among the people OF Clsntuegos over
the Incident. The feeling is'geneFally
expressed that the authorities had no
right to arrest JImlBez, an unaFmed
citizen, going apparently to Santiago
de Cuba, and the point is even made
that, even If ne were going to San Do
mlngo, he would only be returning to
his native country.
Senior Aybor. a representative Of
Jiminez, left clenfuegos for Santiago
de Cuba last night, after remaining at
the former place ten days 1t is be-
lieyed he tried to ut out nn expedi-
tIon, as a small schooner was found
lying outside of the harbor, supposed
to be awaiting a cargo of ammunition.
Senior Aybor had taken out clearance
papers for Key West several days age.

on the gallows Taylor retracted his
former confession and his testimony on
the witness stand. and asserted that
Brown had nothing whatever TO do with
the murder. Brown also protested to
the very last that he was innocent.
W. E. Belt, Of Chicago, in whose FAM
ily. Brown was formerly a slave, made
every effort in his power to secure a
Communication or a reprleve for the
doomed man. At midnight last night
he called Governor Lowndes Up on the
telephone and secured from him
promise he would interpose in the event
that judges Henderson, Motter and
Chief Judge McSherry consented to II.
Mr.. Belt obtained, after much per-
suasion, the consent of Judges Motter
and Henderson, but Chief Judge Nc
Sherry, who presided at the trial. posi-
lively declined to recommend executive
interference, on the ground that there
was enough testimony against Brown
to convict him, in spite OF anything
that Taylor may have said at any time,
After the execution Mr.. Belt sent
telegram to Governor Lowndes, In
which he told the governor that he held
him and Chief Judge McSherry respon-
slble for the death Of an Innocent man.

M'COY PUT 10 SLEEP

In one Minute ~ a Nan who Went
Intothe Ring without any Hope OF
Winning From the "Kid."
CHICAGO, August 1s.-"Jack" Nc
cormicf. of Philadelphia, knocked out
Kid Mccoy in about one minute tos
night. The bout was to have been for
six rounds and II was generally thought
that Mccormick stood no show at all.
He. himself, said before entering the
ring that he was going to do his best
and let It go at that. The hght was 50
short and so quickly over that there
was almost nothing TO see but the
punch that put Mccoy to sleep. The
fight was under strict Queensberry
rules. hitting with one arm free per-
mitted.
When the gong sounded Mccormick
started In to rush things relying on his
greater weight and superior strength
TO onset McCoy'B science. He received
a straight left In the mouth the hrst
time he tried 1t, and a second later q
savage left hook on the side OF the head
halted him q second time. BE then
rushed twice more, carrying Mccoy 10
the ropes both times. The first time he
hit Mccoy over the Kidneys with his
right. The second time rs they came
from the ropes still cllnched, Mccoy
freed his left and sent q hook to Nc
cormick's cheek, dropping him to the
floor.
Mccormick lay quiet, making a pre-
tense Of claiming foul. although none
had been committed. Mccormick rose
on the order Of Referee Hogan with a
sheepish grin on his face. The knock
down had not injured him in the slight
est. The men squared of once more
and then came the end like lightning
from q clear sky. Mccoy was moving
cautiously around Mccormick, both
hands low down, neither being az high
as the belt. Mccormick suddenly let
fly his right and 1t landed full on the
jaw. Mccoy went down like dead
man fiat on his back, legs and arms
outstreached, his face pointing square
ly to the ceiling.
It was evident the instant he struck
the floor that his fighting was over for
tonight at least. Pandemonlum broke
loose In the hall and there were wild
yells for Mccormick, Shrieks Of "Get
up, Kid" "Get upl" Hogan went down
on one knee by the side Of Mccoy and
shouted his call OF the seconds In the
fighters ear, but Mccoy was past all
hearing. At the word "ten," he raised
his head slightly, and Hogan paused
an instant before he shouted "out," but
Mccoy was still out Of It. Thirty sec
onds would not have brought him into
condition to fight again.

will say tomorrow:
The Cramps have discharged many
hundred hands and ask Russia to ex-

ious experience for this country. but

No one can question the fact that
payments through the principal clear

per cent, larger than in 1882 for the
month thus far, and outside New York,
gao per cent. No better test OF tho vol
