WORSE FATE THAN DREYFus.
General Hernandez of Venezuela. is Being
Tortured in Confinement.

New York, Sept. 25.-According to
the story told here by a Venezuelan
who reached New York a few days ago,
General Jose Manuel Hernandez. the
head of the Conservative party in
Venezuela, and who Is a political pris-
oner, is undergoing treatment even
worse than that of Dreyfus on Devils
Island. His political and military
strength was recently shown, says the
Tribune, id the organization of revo-
lutionary movement on the frontier,
under the leadership of General Gar
brane. This uprising which President
Castro called a Colombian invasion,
was, in reality Hernandez move
ment it Is said.
Immediately following this" said
one of Hernandez's former fellow
prisoners now here, "began the sys-
tematic attacks on General Hernandez,
which his friends fear will end the
veterans career. The first move was
to transfer him to the darkest dun
geon in the foul-smelling old fort. A
huge ball was fastened to his ankle.
He is not permitted to see anyone, nor
is he permitted to communicate with
the outside world. He is even denied
the usual exercise about the prison
yard. His keepers take a fendish de-
light in throwing live rats, spiders and
other vermin into his dungeon, particu-
larly when he sleeps. The rations al
lowed General Hernandez are only
half those required by a man of his
physical condition"

of the battle-ship Massachusetts. This
vessel was at one time a part of the
flying squadron, commanded by Com
modore Schley, and the court asked
him to state whether all possible
measures were taken to capture or
destroy the Spanish vessel Christobal
Colon as it lay in Santiago harbor
from May II to June 1, 1898. Counsel
for Admiral Schley objected to the
question on the ground that a reply
would involve an opinion and not a
statement of facts. Judge-AdYocate
Lemly admitted that the precedents
were against questions of this charac-
ter, and the court withdrew this in
terrogatory.
It is generally admitted that this
decision will have the effect of ma
terially shortening the term of the
court, as will also the courts intention
to cut out irrelevant questions and all
heresay testimony. In several cases
the witnesses were admonished to re
late only events coming within their
own observation.
Admiral Dewey showed himself a
prompt and methodical presiding off
Ger. He called the court to order
exactly at the designated hour, and
adjourned it just as promptly at 4
o'clock. The witnesses today were
Rear-Admiral Higginson, who com
manded the. battle-ship Massachusetts
during the Spanish war; Captain c
M. Chester, who commanded the
cruiser Cincinnati; Major Thomas N
Wood, of the marine corps, who com
manded the marines on the Massa
chusetts, and Commander G. B. Har
Der, who was an executive officer O
the Texas, the latter being on tn,
stand when the court adjourned. Th,
attendance of the public was small.
Rear-Admiral Ramsay occupied tn
seat which, on the first day of tn,
session was filled by Rear-Admira
Howison. ALI three members of tn
court were in service uniform, and tn
morning air was cold enough to max
their closely-buttoned coats appear
comfortable. Mrs Dewey accomppa
MED her husband and remained
short time. The general attendanc
was not large.

Murder in the First Deere..

Buffalo. Sept 25.-Leon F. Czol-
gosz, alias Fred Nieman, was found
guilty Of murder in the first de-
gree by jury in part III. of the
supreme court, in having on the 9th
of September, shot President Will
lam Mckinley, the wounds inflicted
afterwards resulting in the death of
the president.
The wheels of justice moved swift
ly. The trial of the assassin consumed
eight hours and 26 minutes, and
covered a period of only two days.
Practically all of this time was occu-
pied by the prosecution in presenting
case SO clear, so conclusive, that
even had the prisoner entered the plea
of insanity it is doubtful if the jury
would have rendered a verdict differ
ent from the one rendered today.
The announcement this afternoon
by the attorneys of Czolgosz that
the eminent alienists summoned by
the Erie county bar association and
by the district attorney to examine
Czolgosz and to determine his exact
mental condition had declared him
to be perfectly sane destroyed the
only yestige of a defense that the at
torneys could have put together.

THREE SCORE LOST
BRITISH ToRPEDo-eoAT DE-
sTRoYER FouNDERED.
The Result Of an Explosion the 10 Men
Aboard Only Dozen We're Rescued
Worst Disaster in the British Navy Since
the Never-to-B Be.Forsotten Sinking of the
Victoria.

London, Sept. 23-The torpedo-boat
destroyer Cobra has foundered in the
North Sea, the result of an explosion.
The ship was en- route from the yard
of her builders, the Armstrong;, of
Newcastle, to Portsmouth. 1t is re-
ported that all hands were lost with
the exception of about half dozen
persons.
Five boats were launched after the
Cobra struck, but some of them were
swamped in the heavy sea which was
running at that time.
The first intimation of the disaster
was the arrival of fishing boat at
Yarmouth with six bodies, which she
had picked up in the vicinity of the
spot where the Cobra was last seen.
According to the fishermen. the Cobra
was sighted by the lightship off Dow
ings Sands yesterday morn ing envel-
oped in steam, and she shortly after
wards disappeared. The men on the
lightship supposed the Cobra had
sailed away until the evening, when
they observed bodies floating in the
water, and signalled to the fishing
boat to investigate the disaster.
A dispatch from Middlesboro says
II survivors of the crew were landed
there this morning, and confirms the
report that all the others were
drowned. The British Admiralty has
received information that the explo-
sion occurred after the Cobra struck
a rock, and that she sank immedi-
ately.
The Cobra was turbine engined
vessel. She had just left the yard of
her contractors and was undergoing a
boiler test. About one year ago the
Cobra beat the record of the Viper,
and won the title of the fastest ves-
sci in the world, making 37.7 knots
or 43. 5 miles an hour.
Corrected figures show that she had
79 souls on board. For 81 no hope is
held out, but torpedo boats and cruis-
ers have gone at full speed to the
scene of the disaster, which is the
most serious the British navy has suf-
fered since the sinking of the Vic
toria Lieutenant BosW orth Smith,
the Cobra's commander, stood upon
the bridge with his arms folded, as
impassive as on parade, and went
down with the vessel

CHASTITY SCENES AT WRECK.
Persons Injured in Hungarian Collision Were
Burned Alive.

Bucharest, Sept. 25.-The collision
yesterday at Palota, between the vi
emma express and the petroleum trains,
appears in the light of latest events, to
have been most terrible affair. In a
few seconds the whole arena of the
collision became huge lake of burn
ing petroleum. Trees and every
thing infammable within an area of
quarter of mile were destroyed.
There were some chastity scenes.
A girl was burned to death in sight
fof both her parents, who escaped.
M. Dinu, a Roumanian millionaire,
got his foot jammed in the Wreckage
and begged one of the train guards
to sever the foot with an ak, promis-
ing him large reward if he would do
so. Before the guard could help
him he sank into the flames and was
burned to death. Schwartz, the con-
ductor, who was similarly jammed,
clung so desperately to the man who
tried to extricate him that his would
be rescuer had to be dragged away just
as Schwartz perished in the flames.
Most of the % who were killed
were burned to death.

RUSHED BY BoERs.
Commander Of Lovatfs Scouts Killed on the
Orange River.

London, Sept. 24.-The war office
has received the following dispatch
from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria,
September %:
s.Kritzinger, while endeavoring to
force passage of the Orange rive.
near Herschel, at l O'Clock Friday
morning, rushed the camp of a party
o.. Loyatt's scouts. He failed to cross
the river, but the scouts lost heavily.
Lieutenant Colonel Murray and Cap
tain Murray, his -adjutant, were
killed. Deep regret at the loss of
Colonel Murray, who throughout the
war led Loyatt's Scouts with great
gallantry. Under cover of darkness,
the Beers managed to carry of gun.
They were promptly followed and the
gun was recovered in smart engage
ent in which Kritzinger lost two
killed and 20 taken prisoners.
Lord Kitchener also reports that the
British captured by the Beers in the
ambush near Scheeper's Mex, Sep
tember IL, have been released, and
that the British casualties in the
recent Vlakfontein engagement, when
the Beers captured company Of
mounted infantry and two guns, were
one officer and five men killed, % men
wounded and six officers and 100 men
taken prisoners. He announced that
these prisoners had since been released.
He further reports the capture OF
two commandoes-one consisting. of
55 men, under Commandant Kochs,
who were taken with their entire
transport, west of Adeburg, and the
other, consisting Of Sd men, in
Guiding J. P. Botha, who were taken
with 48 wagons, and their belongings,
As miles southeast of Carolia.
Lord Kitchener's latest dispatches,
although they contain good news as
we'll as bad. have contained little to
reassure the people concerning the
state of affairs. The loss of Lieuten-
ant Colonel Murray, a brother of Lord
Mansfield, is keenly felt. There is
little doubt that further details will
show it was serious affair.

Comment of German Press.

London, Sept. 25.-The Berlin cor
respondent of the Times says:
"The news Of the British reverses
in South Africa is discussed ON the
whole with much moderation in the
more serious organs of the German
press. The less responsible papers
make no effort to conceal their exulta-
tion. The concensus of opinion is
that the chief Importance of the re-
cent Boer successes is in the encour-
agement they will afford to the
burghers and their effect upon
Cape Colony loyalists. The paper re-
CARDS the new activity and daring Of
the Beers as crushing reply to Lord
Kitchener s latest proclamation.
