BROTHER MonTALLY WOUNDED.
George Armstrong Actuated by JeaI-
Ousy Fired Fatal shot.

Ocala, Fla. March S1.-George Arm
strong shot and mortaly wounded his
brother John early this morning at the
home of Mr. ]. l.. Smoak, two miles east
of Ocala.
John has been been residing with his
brother for the past fifteen years, up TO
short time ago, when a family difficulty
arose, and John was forbidden to enter
again the home of George, or to speak to
him or his family.
A few days ago, at picnic near Blich-
ton, John met and spoke to Mrs. George
Armstrong. That evening she came TO
Ocala to visit her sister, and 1t was soon
whispered to George that his wife had
gone off with his brother, whereupon he at
once started in search of him and found
him this morning, and without warning
or notice, emptied the contents Of a
doube-barrelled shotgun, loaded with
buclSshot, into his back. Several bullets
lodging in the small of his back, one in
the head, and several in the lungs.
Jealousy is the cause of the affair. as
knowing ones say there Is absolutely no
grounds for the accusation against the
young man. George Armstrong is now in
Jail and will be given a preliminary hear
ing Monday.

SHOULD HAVE INDEpENnENssr.
Eel Cubano Quotes Senator'S Butler
and PettiErev.

Havana, March 31.-United States Sem
ators Butler and Pettigrew are represent
ed by Ell Cubano to-day as saying they
were convinced that the Cubans are fit
for self-government; that the Cubans
want independence and are not the enc
mics of the people of the United States.
but are grateful TO them.
The Cubans, Ell Cubano represents the
senators as saying, are resentful of the
conduct of President Mckinley for not
fulfilling the sacred promise of the joint
resolution. They are perfectly sure that
President Mckinley will not do anything
to make Cuba Independent, but, on the
contrary, all his resolutions tend to
strength the military hold of the United
State on the island in order TO convert
Cuba into an American colony
El Cubano says the senators declare
that all respectable Cubans of standing
want independence, only those wishing
annexation who are in the employ of the
intervening government or discredited Gu
bans. The Spaniards, who were at first
annexationists, are now warned by what
happened in Porto Rico and have chang
ed their minds and are helping the Gu
bans toward independence. The Cubans,
Eel Cubano makes the senators say, do
not believe the promises of President
Mckinley, knowing that the only people
who can help them are the Democrats,
who hold the freedom of Cuba as most
sacred

SAYS 1T SETTLES ALL DOUBTS.
Admiral Sampson on Test of super
imposed Turrets.

Washington March S1.-Admral Samp-
son, who was aboard the Kearsarge. dur
ing her last run out to sea, arrived here
this morning from Fort Monroe on his
way north to Boston.
The Admiral witnessed the test of the
double turret a feature of naval archi
lecture peculiar to the United States
navy. The test settled completely all
doubts as to the practicability of this
of the predicted faults of the system de-
veloped. 1t had been contended that the
blast of the e ght-inch guns superimposed
above the big twelve-inch guns would
make it impossible to operate the latter;
that no man could live In the turret. AS
a matter of fact the blast was so light
that two officers stationed in the two
sighting hoods on the lower turret were
unable to agree as to whether there was
any blast at all, and If there was they
could rot tell it's direction.
A piece Of cotton wool placed in the
forward slit of the middle of the sighting
hood was driven into the hood. but on
either side it remained undisturbed.
Contrary to predictions there was no
difficulty in maintaining the four guns IN
the superimposed turrets in parallel the
shots were delivered almost in one spot.
Owing to a fault In the electrical connec-
tons which can easily be remedied, 1t
was not possible to discharge more than
three of the guns together, but the three
shots at a thousand yards dropped in the
same place in the water.
No trouble was experienced with the
turning devices and other mechanism;
everything worked with perfect smooth
ness. The same was true, according to
Admiral Sampson, of the Kearsarge as
a whole, everything, boilers, engines,
steering gear, functioned perfectly.

CAMBRIDGE HAD GOOD CREW.
Bested Oxford in One of the Poorest
Races Ever Seen.

London, March 91.-The greatest rowing
contest of Europe, that between the Ok
ford and Cambridge crews, ended to-day
in a most pitiful procession. The only
interesting feature was that the record
time was equalled. Even this perform
once was minmized by the fact that Cam
bridge won on one of the strongest flood
tides that has marked race day in years,
and in perfect weather conditions.
The crowds were in no way diminished
from the tremendous proportions of recent
years, but there was no chance for en-
thusiasm. 1t Is a long time since
the race was so barren of fea-
lures. If pressed, Cambridge prob
ably could have smashed all records
oxford is officially estimated to have
been beaten by one minute, but as a.
matter of fact the dark blues had ceased
rowing before they reached the winning
post and about a quarter Of mile sep
arated at the finish one of the best from
one of the worst crews that ever appear
ed in this classic event. At no time in
the race did oxford appear to make any
serious efforts to catch up with their riv-
ais, who led from the start. The losers
were beaten before the race began and
the hundreds of thousands that blacken-
ed the banks of the Thames realized II.
The course was the usual one, from
Putney TO Martlake, and the official time
of the winner was eighteen minutes and
fortv-seven seconds. II was the fifty
seventh annual race between the two col
legns

BoERs HAD STRONG POSITION.
Took Careful Flank Movements for
the British to Win.

the British to Win.
Bloemfontein, March 31.-The Boer posi-
tion yesterday was one of great natural
strength. Only the turning movement OF
Gen. French and Maj. Legallais, the lat
ter commander of the mounted infantry,
on either flank, insured the British sue
cess.
The shape of the kopjes was irregular.
The Beers right flank consisted of a long
hill with wooded sides connected with the
main position by a long low ridge, thickly
wooded The rest of the position toward
the left, consisted of broken kopjes, all
connected by high ridges.
Map Legallais moved round the Beers
left and engaged them, first freely using
his VickersM Maxims and gradually fore
ing the Beers toward the center, where
they made a good stand.
Maj. Legalais was unable to move un-
Til late in the day while Gen. French
moved early. The latter made wide
tour toward the rear of the Beers, but
was unable to complete the movement
before the Beers perceived this intention
and abandoned the position. They retired
in good order between Gen. French and
Mai. Legallas, where the main body of
The Beers, with four guns. held an excel
lent position on the edge of a deep donga
whence they sheled Gen. French.
The infantry attack was delivered at
midday, when the Norfoks opened the
fight by sezing the lower slopes of Ugly
kopje. Steadily they worked their way to
the crest of the hill, where a hot engage
ment ensued. The Lincolnshires occupied
the hill on the rightt protecting the Eigh-
teenth Battery, which dragged its guns
up the hill with the greatest difficulty and
opened a heavy fire at close range.
Meanwhile the city imperials getting
into touch with the Beers, the remainder
of the Vickers division advanced across
a semi-circular basin through which
railway ran. 1t was very open ground and
the Beers from the detached kopje and
Tisge delivered a heavy fire. In spite of
this, however, the British moved on stead
fly, as if on parade. The advance was pro-
tected by guns which vigorously shelled
the Boer position.
About 4 o'clock the British advanced
simultaneously and occupied the Beers
position from which an excellent view
could be had Of Brandfort fifteen miles
distant, across the open plain. The Boer
loss is unknown

of having been delayed by the censor.
According to a special dispatch from
Pretoria, dated yesterday, Lord Roberts
has commenced his advance northward.
The dispatch says that there daily
skirmishes, and that big battle is imml,

This, however, may refer to the opera
tions preceding the engagement at Karee
siding, which has apparently cleared the
way as well as secured an advantage OF
positions whence the next operations may
be conducted.

plying the Beers camp at Karee Siding

Eighth Division to Move.
Orders have been received at Cape
Town for the Eighth division to be dis
embarked and sent north Immediately on
it's arrival there.
The Boer forces in the neighborhood of
Paardeberg are reported to be actively en-
gagged in marauding ana in attempting to
capture British horses left on the Veldt
owing to their weak condition.
Six hundred Barkley refugees sent back
from Cape Town are stranded, the Kim
berley military authorities refusing as
sistance to allow them toEproceed.
Much Kaffir looting is reported at Kip
dam. An active campaign is in progress
on the part of loyalists of Cape Colony
for the annexation of the republics and
the punishment of the colonials who serve
in the Boer army. Meetings in support
of this policy have been held in many
important centers under the auspices of
the South African League
The transportation of the prisoners to
St Helena is arousing the anger of the
Boer, who threaten to retaliate by send
ing the British prisoners to Koomati-
poort, reputed to be the worst fever den
in South Africa.

New Orleans dispatch announcing the sale
of 100000 tons OF Alabama coal to an
English syndicate at 75 cents ton at the
mouth of the coal pits with so cents allow
ance for transportation to New Orleans,
making the low price of $l.25 a ton as
highly improbable IL not a gigantic hoax.
j. c. Maben of the Sloss- Sheffield Coal
and Iron Company of Alabama said:
1.-The local demand for coal in the South,
particularly in Alabama, is too great to
spare any for foreign shipment. Coal
cannot be bought for rs cents anywhere
in these mining regions. The miners are
selling all they can dig for $1.2O to sl.25 a
ton. The freight rates to New Orleans
were never lower than $1.25 and dare say
they are as high as $l.75 at the present
time. The story is preposterous on its
