Cuba's Right to Incur Debt.

1t is explained at the War Department
that 1t is not the intention of this govern
ment to interfere in Cuba to the extent of
preventing the payment OF Cuban bonds
should the new government OF Cuba deter
mine to assume the bonds issued by the for
mer socalled government and junta The
Plat amendment provides that the new
government shall not assume or contract
any public debt which the ordinary rev.
enues of the government will not pay the
interest upon and also create a sinking
fund to pay after defraying the expenses
OF the government. Under this clause the
United States will determine when the
debt either contracted or assumed has
reached limit. 1t Is admitted at the War
Department that the Independence of Cuba
carries with 1t the right to create .pblira-
lions and to incur Indebtedness with these
Limitations.

SHAMROCK n, ARRIVES.

Challenger Apparently is the Most For.
midable Craft to Try For Americas Cup.
New York City.-Shamrock H., Sir
Thomas Lipton's challenger for the
Americas Cup, anchored in the harbor
after fortnights journey across the
Atlantic. The Irish yacht received an
ovation such as has been seldom Of
fered to any foreign craft in New York
Bay. She was accompanied by Sir
Thomas's steam yacht Erin.
The cabled descriptions of Shamrock
II. have not given an adequate idea Of
her superiority in gracefulness of line
over the craft that sailed 5000 miles
to be defeated by the Columbia.
Veteran yachtsmen say that Design
er Watson learned much from study
Of the PROV of the Gloriana-that mar
velous racing machine produced by the
Eerreshoffs which, to all intents and
PURPOSES reyolutioniZed marine archi-
ture in yachts built for speed. The
whole forebody suggests a skilful
adaptation Of the best Of the Watson,
the Fife and the Herreshof concep-
tions.
Taken all in all, Sir Thomas has
sent forth fighter that, judged before
the battle, is the strongest, the hand
soonest and the most formidable that
has up to this time entered the lists
to struggle for the trophy that Ameri-
can shipbuilders have held for half 2
century as proof Of their supremacy.

NEGRO BURNED At THE STAKE.
A Georgia Mob Takes Summary Vengeance
For an Atrocious Crime.

Savannah, Ga.-Joe Washington, q
negro, who assaulted Mrs. J. ]. Clark,
of Way Station. Ga, was burned at
the stake eighteen miles south of Sa-
vannah. Mrs. Clark identified him af-
ter he had been captured in Liberty
City, and q mob of 400 men was col.
lected to take summary vengeance.
Only the ten or twelve leaders. how
ever, executed the plan Of burning
Washington. The rest Of the mob
was kept at a distance, and was not
permitted to come near the stake. The
negro admitted other crimes, but stub.
bornly denied the assault. After ap-
pealing for mercy from his captors,
he prayed for a few minutes.
Along the side of the railway track
q crowbar was driven into the earth.
To this he was bound, in a sitting
position, his legs extending straight
in front of him on either side of the
bar. Mrs. Clark had been asked by
the leaders Of the mob to apply the
torch, but she declined, and her hus-
band was selected in her stead.
Washington looked straight into the
eyes of Clark as the latter stopped
down with the lighted match. The
wood Of the pyre was rich pine. satur-
ated with Kerosene oil, and flames
leaped hungrily toward the negro's
body. His face showed no signs Of
the pain he must have suffered, and
he died without groan.

CRIsPI's REMARKABLY CAREER.
Last OF the Makers of Modern Italy to
Pass from the Stage.

Pass from the Stage.
King Victor Emmanuel. Cavour,
Mazzini, Garibaldi-Crispi Is the last
of the group of the makers OF modern
Italy to pass from the stage. He has
long outliyed his brethren OF the
famous band. His life was stormy
almost to the last. There was little
of that dignified period Of retirement
which marked the close Of Gladstone's
career. Crisprs fall from power was
overshadowed by dark clouds from
which that of his great German COM
peer, Bismarck, was free.
Francesca Crispi stood for Southern
Italy in the struggle for the unihca-
ton Of the peninsula. He was born
at .Ribera, in Sicily, became bar;
rister at Naples, but quickly plunged
into the vortex Of conspiracy against
the Bourbon rule Of King Bomba.
After the uprising of 1S4S he was
one of forty-three excluded from
amnesty, and after temporary resi-
dence in Piedmont and Paris passed
several years in refuge in London,
where he associated with Mazzini.
At last in 1859 came the opportunity
long wished for by the ardent patriots.
Sardinia and France declared war
against Austria, promising the liberia
ton of all Italy, and Crispi threw
himself into the struggle, becoming
Garibaldi's right hand man in the
expedition from Genoa, which speedl-
ly brought about the downfall Of the
Bourbons. Crispi became q member
of the provisional government of
Sicily, and on the islands annexation
to the Kingdom Of Italy was elected
to the Italian Parliament. where his
oratorical powers quickly made him
q leader.
Signor Depretis, after the italian
reverses in Africa at Massowah was
forced to call in the help Of Crispi as
q colleague, and when Depretis died,
in 1887, Crispi became Premier Of
Italy, taking in his administration the
portfolio of Foreign Affairs.
He now set himself to the practical
Interpretation of the policy he had
advocated, and for this purpose made
a special visit to Bismarck at Fried
richsruhe. The Dreibund was there
definitely drawn up.
Crispi was ready to impose almost
any burdens that seemed necessary
for the maintenance Of the army and
navy. In 1891 the Chamber refused
to levy increased duties and Crispi
resigned. Two years later, though 1t
was perfectly we'll understood that
he would impose $35,000,000 of fresh
taxes, he was returned with a large
majority; but his followers could not
withstand the cry that went up from
the country when he wished to carry
out his proposals.
After six months Crispi threw up
the task which he found TOO great
even for his powers as an "old parlia-
mentary hand" OF late years Crisp!
emerged but once or twice from the
background. He urged forcibly Italy's
taking part with the Powers in the
settlement Of the Chinese question
Last spring, nearly blind and in fail
ing health, he had narrow escape
from a fire which broke out in bis
house. ! -

Observation-Disclosures
Two Highwaymen Shoot Two Horses
to Make the Driver Stop.
RELIEVE TRAVELLERS OF MONEY

The Male Passengers Take to Their Heels
But Robbers Get women's Valuablei
and Cash in the Mail and EXPIRES
Packages and Escape - Hold-Up DC
CURED in Blue Mountain Lake Region
Albany, n. Y.-A stage coach rob
berry In the Adirondacks is something
new. but it occurred in broad day
light two miles north Of Dunlaps Ho
tel, at North River, on the "oad to
Blue Mountain Lake.
The stage coach had left Dunlap
at II o'clock a. m. on its daily trip up
the mountain, and had reached a piece
Of woods through which the road
winds at a heavy grade. The coach
was drawn by four horses. and the
highwaymen shot and killed the lead.
ers and thus stopped it's progress.
The mail pouches were ripped open,
and registered letters and express
packages containing money were Sto'
len.
Serious though the affair was. it
was not without humorous incidcn:.
AS soon as the coach was brought to
a stop three of the men passengers
jumped off and took to the woods.
The fourth male passenger had his
wife with him, and he likewise would
have sought shelter had it not been
that his wife seized his coat tails.
There We're seven passengers IN the
coach, four men and three women.
The highwaymen treated the ladies
with courtesy, and one Of them re-
marked considerably that no harm
would befall them if they simply kept
auiet and handed over what available
cash they possessed, along with their
rings, watches and jewelry. The
women were frightened, and one OF
them was seized with Mysteries, as a
masked highwayman invited them to
step out
When the coach was stopped by the
death of the leading horses, the sud-
den jolt caused the driver, "Bill' FL
bridge, an "eld timer" in those regions
to fall from his seat and drop beneath
The horses. He was injured. The
highwaymen did not search him, al
though he had a roll of bills in his
pocket.
While one highwayInan covered the
passengers with his rifle the other
collected quite sum Of money. The
nail pouches then were ripped open
and the highwaymen rified the letters.
They then turned their attention to
the express. packages which were piled
upon the coach. These were opened
and several containing bills were
taken away.
When the highwaymen had con.
cluded that there was no more booty
they retreated to the woods, keeping
the passengers covered until they were
out of sight. The driver, Bill Ell
bridge, cut the harness from the dead
horses, and. with his scared party,
drove back to Dunlap's Hotel. where
the story of the hold up was related.
The three men who had fed from the
stage coach appeared later at the hotel.
They had been hiding in the brush.
A party of ten men was organized
at Dunlap'S and went in pursuit OF
the highwaymen. 1t is believed the
highwaymen obtained $1,000.
The stage line is operated by Will
liam R. Waddle. and the coach that
was held up connects with trains on
the Adirondack branch Of the De!a-
ware and Hudson Railroad.
