Revolution Is Proclaimed by a Small
Band Of Armed 1Ien In Santiago
Province.
Havana, July 3t.-In spite of the
assertion made by Senor zero, sec
retary of the interior, that the kill
ing of three men and the capture of
a fourth man, their leader, who had
attempted to cause an uprising in
the vicinity of Bayamo, province of
Santiago, effectually ended the only
semblance of an uprising in Cuba, the
rumors of uprisings in eastern Cuba
were fully confirmed Thurs day in the
governments reports received from
the governor and other officials of
Santiago province.
These are to the effect that since
Sunday last 60 armed and mounted
men have appeared outside villages
in the Cauto river district, proclaim
ing a revolution and demanding the
payment of the former members of
the revolutionary army. No acts Of
violence have been reported, but the
inhabitants of the Cauto region are
excited. The leader of the revoIu-
tionary party is named Pupo. He is
a brother of one Of the bandits killed
by the rural guard on Tuesday.
Gen. Rodriguez, commandments
of the rural guard, has ordered the
mobilization of all the rural guards
in eastern Cuba and the governor Of
Santiago province has been instructed
to enlist as many volunteers as may
be deemed necessary.

nouncement is made at once to stem

five or six samples have been examined
the jurors will rest a few minutes,
then eat bit of cheese and biscuit,
after which they rinse their mouths

thus refrain from real indulgence in

There are cheeses that make one quite

same plane that some other jurors
have been held in cases where they
have decided guilt or innocence by
shaking dice.

CLEVELAND AND BRYAN.
NiVcd In the Democratic
Ranks.

Very little interest was taken in Mr..
Bryan when he rode through the streets
of Chicago Saturday, but some interest
attaches to his speech which he deliv-
cred at the picnic of the Chicago Demo-
cratic club because of the preliminary
advertising which it received. 1t was to
contain highly seasoned roast of
Cleveland, and was to be political pro-
nunciamento of national significance,
says the Chicago Record-Herald.
The attack on Cleveland was made
according to expectations, but Mr.. Bry-
an has about exhausted his rhetoric in
philippics of this sort, and we know
only what we knew before, that he will
do his utmost to prevent the Cleveland
democrats from gaining control of the
next democratic national convention.
His logic on the injury done his can
didacy in 1896 by the record of the
Cleveland administration is curious
enough, however, to deserve some no
tice. The odium of that record, he says.
did more to defeat the democratic party
than any one plank of the Chicago plat
form, or even than all the planks that
were severely criticised. In a sense this
is true, but not at all in the sense that
Mr.. Bryan means. The greatest innu-
ence against the democrats was the hard
times, and in all probability it would
have defeated any democratic candidate
if there had been no silver question.
But there was a very general belief that
the hard times were due to the Wilson

THE DEMOCRATIC "STIFF."

Does the Mad MuIinh
stunt.

In his speech at the Carter Harrison
picnic on Saturday Mr.. Bryan held an
inquest on the national democracy, and
returned a verdict in direct opposition
to the facts, says the Chicago Inter
Ocean
Mr.. Bryan proved that he had learned
nothing since 1896, save to defy the
semisavage Aguinaldo, and had forgot
ten everything. His assertion that the
republican victories in 1896 and since
were won by no influence save those of
corruption of the electorate showed his
persistence in uttering malignant SLAM
der upon increasing majorities of the
American people.
His declaration that "the odium which
Mr.. Cleveland's second administration
brought upon the party did more to de-
feat it than all the planks of the Chicago
platform" was so absolute perVersion
Of the truth that it could result solely
from a blindness to facts so total as to
be characterized only as political hys-
terra
Mr. Bryan's appearance on this par
ticular occasion was interesting be-
cause it was made under conditions
that showed him to be not ayerse to
lending such influence as he may still
possess to the promotion of the absurd
movement to make Carter Harrison a
presidential candidate.
His utterances, however. must have
brought cold comfort to Mayor Harri-
sons friends, for he showed clearly

Killed by Stepson.

Columbia, s. c., Special.-Mr. N. G..
Heape was shot and instantly killed at
Branchville Tuesday morning by his
step son, F. w. Fairly. It seems that
Mr.. Heape has been on a spree for sew
eral days and had become delirious. He
had threatened several times to shoot
his wife, young Fairley's mother, and
had run the whole family of the place.
Mr.. Heape and young Fairly had al
ways been specially good friends and
he started to 90 and try to quiet Mr..
Heape, who had already been shooting
at Mrs. Heape, and at any one that
passed the place. AS soon as Mr.. Fairly
entered the yard, Mr.. Heape drew his
gun and Fairly had to shoot to save his
own life. The verdict Of the coroner's
jury was that "Heape came to his
death by gun shot wounds in the hands
Of F. w. Fairly, Jr., and we believe
the same to be justifiable homicide"
This is one of the most deplorable af-
fairs that has ever occurred in this
section. Mr.. Heape was one OF the
Oldest and most trusted engineers OF
this branch of the Southern Railway.
Mr.. Fairly will apply for bail at
once.

Waterbury, Special.-Violence in
its worst form has broken out anew
in Waterbury, as result of the high
feeling in connection with the strike
Of the motormen and conductors on
the street railway line. This time it
is murder and Policeman Paul Men
dlesohn Is the victim. John w.
Chambers, a non-union motorman, is
shot and his whereabout are unknown,
and the conductor, George Webern-
dorfer, was pounded almost into in
sensibility The scene of the crime
was at Forest Park, the terminus Of
the North Main street line. The spot
is an isolated one, and when the car
reached. the end Of the line the crew
made preparations for the return. I'm
mediately after the conductor turned
the trolley and the motorman reversed
his levers, eight masked men sprang
from the bushes by the roadside, en-
tered the car and discharged their, re-
yolvers, every man being armed. Off
Ger Mendlesohn fell at the first re-
port, and as later examination
showed, the first shot was fatal, hav-
ing pierced his heart. The motorman
was also hit and leaped from his car
with cry Of pain. Some Of the men
followed him, while the remainder
turned their attention to the conduc-
tor. He was thrown to the floor of
the car and pounded and kicked un-
til he wss almost unconscious. The
men then left him and Joined their
companions outside. From this point
in the attack their actions are wrap
ped in mystery and are causing con-
siderable apprehension. The conduc.
tor regained his feet with difficulty
and went to the side of the wounded
officer, but he was dead.

dent Ramsay ultimately should refuse

ions on the Wabash east Of the Mis-
sissippi river, the engineers and con-
ductors refused to participate in a

favored it emphatically. Their COM
mittees Wednesday notified President
Ramsay that he would be given until
noon Wednesday to grant their de-
mands. If by that time he still re-
fused, strike would be Immediately

ance committees. The Injunction was
most sweeping instrument and effectu-
ally blocked any strike proceedings. In
part 1t reads:
1--WE therefore, do strictly command
you, until further order OF the court,
absolutely to desist and refrain from

road Company to strike or quit the SER
vice Of said company"

writs are not made returnable. The
persons against whom the Injunction
is issued may appear in court at any

junction dissolved, or If no one asks

per uanent. Meanwhile the gievance
c, -,mittees had prepared and submit
ted to President Ramsay letter set
ting forth the increase concessions they
desired. 1t vas soon after delivery

the Injunction was served. Shortly af-
ter 5 o'clock, two hours after the in
junction proceedings, President Ram
say sent to the grievance committees

jecting all theid demands. Before leav-
ing his office to go home he said he
did not believe a strike would occur.

men met and talked over the situation
this evening and then dispersed for the
