strike situation In Cuba.

Havana, May 2S.-The strike silua-
ton at Santiago Is much more serious
today, according to sdvices from there,
owing to the fact that anarchists are
taking leading part in directing the
movement.
Among the anarchists are several
Italian and Spanish miners who quit
work at Daiquiri. 1t is feared they have
dynamite with them, and the possibility
that it may DO used 10 destroy the piers
or Jay mines to blow up The police and
rural guards has caused The greatest
alarm.
Nothing has been accomplished as yet
through arbitration, as several of the
men suggested as arbitratoTs are not sat
isfactory. Two clashes between strikers
AID officers occurred yesterday, and in
each instance the strikers fred on the
rurals. Several strikers were badly
beaten by officers, however.
Today fully 1000 soldiers are guard
ing the city. Many citizens are also
arming themselves in anticipation of a
general outbreak. Business has been
paralyzed by the strike.

New York, May ga woman is
said by the police to have lured to his
death Father Ksspar Vsrtauiau, the
Armenian priest whose body was found
stuffed in a trunk in a west Thirty
seventh tenement house. Robbery is
also asserted to have been the motive
for the crime, although many ArmeniaDs
cling to the belief that the priest was
the victim Of an Armenian political
society. 10 tracing the priests move
ments the police say they have learned
that VsrtaDian was with woman, and
q man who answers the description OF
one of his suspected slayers was seen
near the ferry heading for New jersey
on Wednesday. FIVE hours later the
trunk 10 which the body was found
reached the Thirty-seventh street house.
The police believe the woman wss used 10
lure the priest to jersey aud that the muir
der was committed there. Armenian
friends Of the priest have declared that
he probably had 81 600, beside yalu-
able jewel in the silk bag be carried.
This has caused the switch 70 the robbery
theory.
jersey City, N. j., May. 2S.-Three
Armenians arrested on Grand street this
morning are held by the local police on
suspicion of being connected with the
murder Of Father VartaniaD, the Armeu-
ian priest, in New York. The prisoners
are Gus Kerys, William Kareres, and

The Loving Case,

judge w. G. Loving vas not indicted
at Loyipgston yesterday for the murder
of Theodore Estes foe alleged mistreat-
ment of Loving's daughter. Because
Judge Gordon asked TO be relieved from
sitli1g 10 the case, and because Judge
Barksdale, Of Houston, who hss been
assigned to tie case, cannot be present
until today, the grand jury was adjourn
ed until then.
Judge Living drove from Oak Ridge
to the courthouse, reaching there shortly
before 10 o'clock. He WAS accompanied
by his attorneys.
The defense has not yet indicated
what it will do upon the indictment Of
Loving, but a mDtion for change Of
venue is expected.
A long conference was held between
Judge Loving and Attorney r. Walton
Moore, at the formers house, during
which, it is said, the case was discussed
from all viewpoints. The friends Of
Judge Loving minated that a warm
plea of the unwritten laa would be re-
sorted to in an effort 10 clear the de-
PENDANT.
Prosecution Attorney Whitehead and
bis associate, Mr.. Harmon, are firm ia
the belief that they will be able to show
that there was absolutely no cause for
the shooting aud for taking the life OF
young Estes.
Miss EIiz beth Loving, the daughter
Of Judge Loving, whose buggy ride with
young Estes led to the shooting, did not
come to Lovington. Like her father,
she has remained at Oak Ridge ever
since the homicide, and will probably
not leave her home until the day for the
trial, when she will be called to The wit
ness stand.
The Commonwealth will fight very
bitterly the motion for change Of venue
and will hare 100 witnesses 10 say that
in their opinion the defendant can set a
fair trial 10 the county. If change OF
venue is granted the case probably will
be tried in Halifax county, making de-
lay of several weeks at least, and possibly
until the next term.

Conditions in Russia.

ST. Petersburg, May 2S.-Russis is
on the verge Of fresh revolution, owing
to the positive refusal Of the government
to sanction the agrsgrian programme for
the compulsory appropriation of land.
Il is expected the storm will break with
even greater violence than was mani
tested year ago.
The peasants in every section of the
country are determined to secure land.
They are convinced il is their only
chance to make a living. Nothing less
than the appropriation OF all estates will
satisfy them.
When Premier Stolypin announced to
the DOuma that The government will
never consent TO compulsory appropria-
ton, it is believed it will bring about q
greater storm than any Russia has yel
seen. The peasants have only held
back because they believe the Doums
could secure land for them. Now there
is nothing to restrain them. News
travels slowly in Russia, but 10 the few
days since the governments position wss
made plain there has already been an
increase in agrsgrisn disorders. Revo-
luton has only been slumberiug in 9
dozen provinces and it is expected tbs
action CT the government will fan the
flames into life. Ia another month, il
is expected, Russia will be torn from

strife

WEST VIRGINIA TO PAY HER
SHARE

AS WAS stated in the Gazette, the
State of Virginia won in the Supreme
Court Of the United States the first pre-
liminary skirmish in the battle between
Virginia and West Virginia over the
payment of that portion OF the states
debt which Virginia has always claimed
West Virginia should have assumed
when she seeded from the Old Dominion.
Chief Justice Fuller overruled the de-
murrer of the State of West Virginia to
the suit brought by the State Of Virginia
in the Supreme Court 10 make IVES.
Virginia pay her share Of the indebted
ness. The demurrer was oyerruied,
however, without prejudice rs to any
question and leave was granted to file an
answer on or before October Il.
The demurrer clqimed that the SUI
preme Court had no jurisdiction in this
matter. Chiel Justice Fuller, in a
lengthy opinion, after an elaborate re-
view of the history Of the case, look
very decided grounds that The Supreme
Court had ample jurisdiction.
While Chief Justice Fuller's opinion
dealt necessarily with the question pre-
scented by the demurrer, he dealt some
what With the merits Of the case. After
asserting the iurdiciion OF The court he
took up the question Of the amount in
volved, saying:
"When the court has ascertained and
sdudged the proportion Of the debt Of
the original state which it would be
equitable for West Virginia to pay, it is
not to be presumed on demurrer that
Yves. Virginia would refuse TO carry out
the decree of this court. If such repu-
distion should be absolutely asserted we
will then consider By what means the de-
cree may be enforced.
The constitution Of West Virginia when
admitted into the union contained the
provision;
"An equitable proportion of the public
debt Of the Commonwealth of Virginia
prior to the first day 70 January, one
thousand eight hundred aud sixty-one,
shall be assumed by this state ard the leg
islature shsll ascertain the same as soon As
may lie practicable aud provide for the
liquidation of the same by sinking
fluid and redeem the principal within "a
years"
The total amount involved is about
ST, goo, 600, or one-third of the CID debt
Ct Virgins.

SEVERAL years ago, at a time when
there were ten cavalry regiments, it was
said by au official of the War Department
that Of ten colonies of cavalry there
wasn't one who could sit in saddle.
They were all very close TO the retiring
aga and every one of them had serious
physical ailments which would have
made it impossible for him to take the
field, though in the piping days of peace
II wasn't deemed necessary to retire
them for disability. Evidently the Presi-
dent has an idea that some such cOndi-
ton exists again, or is impending, for
h, has issued instructions to the War
Department to have the riding capacity
of the higher ranks of mounted officers
seyerly tested at regular intervals. The
terrible prospect of fifteen miles in the
saddle, of which FIVE are to be at trOt
aud five at a gallop, says the Philadelphia
Record, will drive the superannuated and
the valetudinarian majors and lieu
teuaut colonels and colonies into volun-
tary retirement. This is an adminisra
ton of athletic young men.
