STORM WRECKS KEY WEST
MORSE DENIED new TRIAL.
New York FinancIer's Sentence Of Il
Years Sustained.

Years Sustained.
New York City.-Unless the SUI
preme court of the United States re-
verses the decision or the president
Of the United States interferes, Chas.
W. Morse, one time ice king, coast
wise steamship line organizer, banker
and capitalist, will serve fifteen years
at hard labor in the federal prison at
Atlanta, Ca. After having been at
liberty under $125,OOO bail since June
IL last, he is back in the Tombs pris-
on, where. he contemplates the decis-
ion of the United States circuit, court
Of appeals rendered sustaining the
judgment Of the lower federal court
which found him guilty in November
last OF violating the national banking
laws.
There was solace in the decision of
the court of appeals, however in that
only ten Of the fifty-three indictments
on which he was convicted were sus-
tanned, and on the strength Of this his
counsel, Martin w Littleton, will inn
mediately carry the case before the
United States supreme court on a
writ Of certiorari. To this end the
United States court of appeals has
granted a. 40 days stay OF execution,
and, pending a decision by the sup.
preme court, application will be made
to have the prisoner again admitted
TO bail.
Morse took the decision calmly, but
he was plainly griefsstricken and per-
haps surprised. He heard the news
in the ONCE of the United States mar
shall, and was almost Immediately TAX
en- to the Tombs. Mrs. Morse was with
her husband in the marshal's ONCE
during the entire morning.
One Of Morse's keenest regrets at
being forced to return to prison is the
interruption of his beaver-Nke strug-
gle to rebuild his fortune. Since his
liberation under bail he had been re-
elected president of the Metropolitan
Steamship Company, a New England
corporation, and of the Hudson Nayf-
eating Company, operating line of
boats on the Hudson. He is credited
with having discharged the bulk of his
debts. From the big transportation
lines that within the week elected
him their president there was no Of
ficial statement forthcoming after the
decision. IT. is understood that for
the time being, at least, the elections
will stand.

House dropped out of sight, diligent

Among the more important features
of the aggressive program adopted by
the recent Chicago Convention Of the

work, protected machinery, sanitary
workshops, separate toilets, more
women as factory inspectors and a
minimum wage scale.

ALL EUROPE AROUSED
Spain Shoots Ferrer, Alleged
RevoIutionest, to Death.
IS ANOTHER DREYFUS CASE
King Alfonso Refused to Interfere in
Spite Of Protests of the Pope and
the King Of Italy.

Barcelona, Spain.-Francisco Fer
rer, who was convicted Of prompting
the recent Barcelona rebellion, was
shot in Montjuich prison in execution
of the death sentence imposed upon
him.
Professor Ferrer, Spanish educator
and convicted revolutionist, faced the
firing squad without ffinching, and
fell dead at the first volley.
The execution was in the face Of
the protests of Pope Plus and King
Emmanuel of Italy.
His execution is looked upon as the
spark that will set off the revolution.
airy magazine and the life of King
Alfonso is in danger. Alfonso will
pay with his life for the death OF
Ferrer"--that was the threat the rev.
dictionaries held over the Spanish
government-and Ferrer is dea0.
All Spain is aroused to the danger
and the crisis is rapidly spreading
throughout Europe. Protesting dem
onstrations were held all over Eu-
rope and in Spain an uprising is
feared.
In Paris, in Rome and at many
OIuSlf pDluIS IN GuAOpS lAS 0phA1Sh
consulates are under heavy guard.
Moves against them have already been
made by excited crowds.
The larger cities Of Alfonso's do
main are under a semblance of mar
tial law and every available trooper
is held in readiness. Extra guards
surrounded the palaces and the mill
tary holds Barcelona with firm
hand. There the first outbreak is
expected.
The death of the Barcelona school
master, who was arrested on Septem-
Der /, in a town not far from Bare
Iona, when he carried nothing mo. :
deadly than a camera and notebook,
has sent a tremor throughout the
continent.
Not since the Dreyfus case has such
interest been aroused in the fate of
one man. The Ferrer affair is regard
ed as new Dreyfus case-in fact
and the firing of the shots before
which he fell is taken as the signal
for war Of factions in comparison
with which the battle for the honor
of the French army officer will ap
pear as nothing. Spain will be river
by bloody civil war If the threats
of the revolutionaries are fulfilled.
Italy is aroused almost to the same
extent as Spain. Throughout the pc
ninsula mass meetings to protest
against the action of Spain have been
held. In many points of France sim
liar action has been taken. In Ger
many there have been demonstrations
also.
The cry Of the radicals is that Fer
rer was condemned, not because he
was revolutionist, but because he
founded a modern school whose teach
ings were opposed to those of the
schools fostered by the Spanish gov
eminent.
The daughter of the schoolmaster
is hiding in Paris. From here she
sent a pitiful appeal, against the
wishes Of her father, to King Alfonso,
asking clemency. Her only reply was
the news published of the execution.

Havana, Cuba.--The most serious
cyclone since the big blow OF October

city of Havana many minor buildings
were blown down or unroofed; almost
all the trees we're uprooted and five
persons were killed, one by an cleo
trio wire and the others by falling
buildings. About twenty-five persons
were injured.
The greatest damage done was IA

ers, launches and small tugs were Ell
Their sunk or blown ashore. The total
damage in Havana and vicinity is es-
timated at $1,000,00O. The greatest
individual loss has been caused by
the destruction of half the coal ele-

Company at Casa Blanca, estimated at

the greater number of the wrecked
lighters and other craft.
Communication with the interior of
the island was interrupted except
with parts OF Havana and Pinar del
Rio provinces, In which the orange
and other fruit crops suffered se-
verely. The tobacco crop has not
been seriously affected, beyond the
washing out of the seed beds, which
at this season of the year are cap
able Of renewal.

any more flowers on my grave" was
the message ON a piece of cardboard
which Mrs. Mcdonald of Brooklyn
found on the grave in Mount Olivet
Cemetery, on which for fifteen years

Believing that it was the grave of a
dear relative, Mrs. Mcdonald was in
