KENTUCKY COURT DECIDES.
Six of the Seven Judges Sign the
Verdict.
WILL GO TO SUPREME COURT.

Frankfort, KY, April 0.-The court
of appeals handed down decision in
the governorship case in favor of the
Democrats The opinion is by six of
the Judges, four Democrats and two
Republicans One Republican, Dur
ellie. dissented The other two Repub-
lican Judges, Burnam and Guffy, gave
a separate opinion from the Democratic
Judges, but which agreed with the
Democratic members in it's conclusion:
The opinion holds that the action of
the legislature in seating Governor
Beckham was final and that the courts
have no right to review it; that Gov
ernor Taylor exceeded his authority in
adjourning the Legislature to London,
and that the journals of the two houses
of the legislature being regular cannot
be impeached.
The Republicans will now try to get
a hearing before the United States SUI
preme court. Thirty days must elapse
before the mandate of the court of APP
peals, in accordance with the decision,
is issued Meanwhile, no radical
change in the relative positions of the
state governments is expected.
Judges Burnam and Guffy, Republi-
cans, while concurring in the decision
of the court, dissented from the rea-
soning Judge Burnam's separate
opinion says; 81 have been led, with
some reluctance, to the conclusion, and
not without some nisgivings as to its
correctness, that there is no power in
the courts of the state TO review the
findings of the general assembly in
contested election for the offices of
governor and lieutenant governor as
shown by its only authenticated
representatives.
Ex-Governor Bradley said: "We will
not take advantage of any technicality
to delay the progress of the case. The
decision of the court of appeals is not
disheartening to u.s. We shall ask for
a writ of error to the supreme court at
once and these contests will now be
at an end in very short time"

SANTIAGO NEGROES SAUCY.

READY FOR ANY EMERGENCY,

Santiago de Cuba, April 9.-The first
important action of the new mayor,
Senior Grinan, in suppressing Ell Cubano
Libre and placing under arrest the ed
itorial staff of five men, created intense
excitement when it became known.
Ell Cubano Libre has always been in
tensely radical in its utterances against
the Americans, Spaniards and white
Cubans. 1t published an editorial,
both offensive and indecent, in criti-
cism of the civil government, particu-
larly the municipal branch. The
editorial characterized the place as San
official sewer and a cesspool of moral
corruption" and used other language
not fit for publication. 1t charged Off
Gals with stealing. The new mayor,
who proposes an aggressive and pro-
gressive administration, acting under
General Woods order of March "a,
giving mayors the control of public
order, confiscated the printing plant
and landed the editorial staff in Jail.
He justifes this step on the grounds of
public decency. The Americans, for
eigners and best class of Cubans
applaud his action. Two hundred
prominent Cubans signed telegram to
General Wood endorsing Senior Grinan's
course. The colored party objects and
says the time has arrived for decisive
action. The colored general Rabi and
other leaders were telegraphed to come
Immediately to Santiago to head
popular movement against the Ameri-
cans and the Cuban traitors" There
is considerable excitement in the city
and it is expected that the release of
the editors will DO followed by riots.
All of the police of the city and the
rural guards are under arms and ready
for an emergency.
