PALMA DENoUYCED.- During the
last few days several Havana newspapers
have been making violent onslaughts
upon the chief executive of the republic,
accusing him ofincompetence, Ignorance
and weakness in not having as yet done
ANYTHING useful for the country. The
Lncha claims that President Palma 5
promises to treat the various elements
in Cuba alike have not been kept, and
declares that what the executive wants
is to govern without law and to ignore
the constitution. The paper says that
in spite of the repeated requests of Con-
gress. President Palma has not yet pre-
sented the budget The Discussion says
that congress is wasting time lamentably,
and declares that a number of laws have
been delayed eitherin the House of Rep
resentatives or in the Senate. Con-
gress must do more work, says the
paper, or the session will pass without
the accomplishment of anything for the
vital interests of the country. In the
House of Representatives yesterday 1t
Was voted that none of the fortresses or
arsenals of the Cuban republic could be
leased or sold by the government.

MURDER CONFESSED.

A startling story was brought out yes
terday at the inquest into the death OF
Marcus Rogers, whose body was found
in the WalIoomsack river at Benning-
ton, Vt. Thursday, when Levi Perham,
aged nineteen, confessed that the man
had been murdered, and implicated
himself and the wife of the dead man as
the participants in the crime. Rogers,
who separated from his wife several
months ago, had his life insured for
$500 for the woman's benefit. He left
Hoosic Falls last Tuesday morning, and
was not seen again until his body was
found in the river Thursday morning.
A hat was found near the river, pinned
to which was note purporung 10 nave
been written by Rogers, in which the
writer said that he had ended his own
life. as there was nothing further to live
for. At the inquest which was held
Yesterday afternoon several witnesses
testified as to the relations between
Rogers and his wife, their frequent
ouarrels. the movements of Rogers, NC,
but the climax was reached when the
Perham brothers, Levi and Boyd, were
placed on the stand. Boyd, the elder,
was first examined, and to the amaze
ment of those in attendance directly
charged his brother and Mrs. Rogers
with the crime of murder. In his
story he said that the deed had been un-
der consideration for several weeks. tie
said Mrs. Rogers approached him a lew
days ago and offered to give HIM the
amount of the insurance on her husband
(s50O) if he would go to HOosic Corners
and do away with him. lie refused.
Failing to enlist him in her service,
Boyd said that Mrs. Rogers approached
his Younger brother, Levi, and exerted
such an influence over him that the lat
ter consented to lure Rogers TO Bennlng-
ton. where trap had been set for him.
Rogers, he said, was enticed to Morgans
Grove. where on Tuesday evening he
met his wife and Levi Perhsm. The
meeting was apparently a friendly one,
and under the impression that his com
panions were showing him trick with
ropes, Rogers allowed them to bind him
hand and foot. When in this helpless
condition they chloroformed him and
threw him into the river TO create the
impression that Rogers had committed
suicide, they wrote the note which was
found pinned to his hat. The sensation
was increased when Levi Perham con-
fessed that all that had been revealed
against himself was true.

TROUBLE IN A COMMITTEE.-A serl
Gus split developed in the democratic
city executive committee of Norfolk at a
meeting held last night, and eight men,
bers left the hall. At the last meet
ing of the committee Messrs. Maynard,
Lawless, and Dr. Bryant were otitied
that they would be expected to name
two Judges in each ward not later than
last night, and they were also informed
that they would be expected to donate
$75 each to the campaign fund. Messrs.
MAYNARD and Lawless complied with
the request of the committee, but Dr.
Bryant did not The so-called ring FAC
ton in the committee wanted to go
ahead with the election of the judges,
and the supposed majority, or Goode
faction, which afterward proved to be a
minority, wanted to defer the election.
A heated discussion ensued, during
which the lie was passed and free
fight was averted only by the coolness OF
the chairman. Several attempts were
made to fight, bat the participants were
separated. The minority members then
left the meeting and the judges were
elected. DR.. Bryant was given nnhi
tonight to nominate his judges.
