STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 6, 1896.
OVERRUN DAY.
It Was a Day of Apprehension
and Anxiety in Havana.
Feared the Light and Water
Supply Would be Cut Offi
ALL ARE ENLISTED.
No More Recruits Could be Ob
tained to Defend the City.
Gomez's Army Has Been Con
tinually Re-enforced.
Bava.ua, Jan. 6. Yesterday was a
day of nervousness and anxiety and
hourly apprehension of an attack by
the insurgent army or a part of it.
The bands commanded by Nunez and
Bermudez were seen at Managua, a
village not more than twelve miles
from Havana. There has been great
fear that the light and water supply
of the city would be cut off by a sud
den raid of the insurgent forces. The
idea of the city being left in total
darkness for the unseen working of
plots and seditions is itself enough to
work a panic in the nervous condition
of the public mind. Special prepara
tions for the defense of the works
that supply these have been made and
artillery has been placed to command
them against all probable sources of
attack. All possible recruits have
been enlisted for the defense of the city
and the avadable ground around the
city has been filled with batteries of
artillery which are manned day and
nigh t.
The Spanish authorities have main
tained a cordon of military forces
running from Havana to the town of
Batabano, on the South coast, since
the invasion of Matanzas province by
the insurgents, beyond which they
hoped to prevent the advance of the
destroying columns of their enemies.
This line was broken yesterday by the
forces under Gomez and the main body
of the insurgents to-day passed into
the province of Pinar Del Rio, and are
now overrunning that province with
fire and sword. The work of destruc
tion in Havana province has been as
complete as was that in Matnazas, and
the sugar lands of Pinar Del Rio are
fast being put into the same desolate
condition.
In effect, the whole island outsicTe
of the city of Havana is now in the
hands of the insurgents. They have
annihilated the Spanish forces.
have they routed 'he whole army
lation is completely in their hands,
so compieteJy have they outirea-
led the Spanish that, to all appear
ances, Martinez Campos" army might
as well be m Spain for any cneck it
puts upon the movements of Gomez's
army. The latter's progress has been
accomplished with continual acces
sions to his forces by volunteers, and
has captured enough horses, rifles and
artillery to add immensely to the ef
fective strength of his men.
There is little doubt really felt here
that he will get as much or more sym
pathy in Pinar del Rio than he did in
Santa Clara and Matanzas, and the
general fear here is now that after
sweeping over Pinar del Rio he will
come upon Havana from the west, co
operating in an attack with the forces
of the insurgents which have been
east of Havana for several days past.
Tampa. Fla., Jan. e. An American
passenger arrivinjr from Cuba last
night reports that" the Cubans are
within seventeen miles of Havana.
According to his statement Gomez has
22,000 men. The insurgents burned
San Felipi, Duran, Meleno, Del Sur
and Guara Friday night. These places
are twenty miles from Havana.
Canada on the Eve of a Crisis.
Ottawa, Ont.,Jan. 6. Excitement
at the capital and throughout the Do

tinues unabated. The continuation

WAS PROMISED AID.
Jameson's Expedition Was a Failure Be
cause It Did Not Arrive
London, Jan. 6. The belief has
been expressed here that the expedi
tion of Dr. Jameson into the Trans
vaal involved an understanding that
there was to be an uprising of the
Uitlanders in Johannesburg in co-operation
with Dr. Jameson, and that
his raid would have been success
ful if he had received the ex
pected assistance from Johannes
burg. The abstination of Johannes
burg from taking part in the fight at
Jvrugersdorph, where Dr. Jameson
"met his disastrous reverse, is partly
explained by cablegrams received
yesterday dated December 30, which
was the day before Dr. Jameson's start,
stating that President Kruger had re
ceived a deputation of the aggrieved
residents and that he had made them
promises that he would take off the
duties on food stuffs and would sup
port equal subsidies for the schools of
all languages. He would also,
he said, advocate the desired change
in the franchise. This seems to have
fully satisfied the Uitlanders, and it is
asserted that the leading men of all
nationalities were combining in an
active endeavor to circumvent the agi
tation which was understood was be
ing promoted by certain capitalists
with a view to promoting1 collision
with the authorities, and thus to es
tablish a cause for imperial interven
tion and to give the conspirators a
chance to go into the rich country.
It is repor;ed that Hon. Cecil Rhodes,
premier of Cape Colony, has resigned,
but Governor Sir Hercules Robinson
lias declined to accept the resigna
tion. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain has
telegraphed, asking if it was true that
Dr. Jameson was shot, adding that
Mr. Rhodes had telegrdphed a positive
denial of the rumored gathering of a
second force of the chartered com
pany's troops at Bulowayo. President
Kruger has replied that he had given
no orders to shoot free booters who
had been taken prisoners, but that
they would be punished according to
law.

CARDINAL NOW.
Satolli was Yesterday Ordained
in Baltimore.
The Cathedral was Crowded to
the Very Doors.
NOTABLE ATTENDANCE
Archbishops, Bishops,Diplomats
and Statesmen Were There.
Vice President Stevenson Also
Witnessed the Ceremony.
Baltimore, Mi, Jan. 6. The sec
ond step in the elaborate ceremony of
elevating Francis Satolli, archbishop
of Lepanto, and apostolic delegate to
the United States, to the rank of card
inal, prince of the church, took place
in the venerable cathedral here yes
terday. The ceremony consisted of
conferring the berretta, which is the
cap worn by priests on ordinary occas
ions, and differing only in the case of
cardinals in that it is red.
The preceding steps have been the
conferring of the zuchette, or red
skullcap, and the administering of the
oath. The remaining step is the con
ferring1 of the red hat, which must be
done in Rome by the Pope himself,
within six months from November 30,
the day upon which Satolli's appoint
ment was made.
The edifice in which tne ceremony
took place, and in which the first
American bishop was ordained and
the first American priest ordained, and
which is presided over by the only
American-born member of the College
of Cardinals, was packed to the doors
with an audience, which numbered
among its members many of the most
prominent ecclesiasts, diplomats,
legislators, educators and jour
nalists in America. Archbish
ops, bishops and eminent pro
fessors represented the Catholic
church in the congregation. The vice
president of the United States and
numerous congressmen, senators,
judges and minor officials were pres
ent. Eminent Catholics outside the
priesthood came many miles to see the
ceremony, and to lend impressive ness
and importance to the occasion by
their presence. Diplomats of high
degree came to represent foreign gov
ernments, and show the respect in
which they hold the church which
does honor to Satolli.
RESPITED BY CONFESSION.
Bartholomew Shea Rescued From the
Electric Chair's Shadow.
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 6. The climax
of one of the most dramatic and
sensational criminal incident's of the
state's history was made public yester
day when, juse forty-eight hours prior
to the execution of the death sentence
upon Bartholomew Shea, another man
confessed to the murder, and Shea
steps from beneath the shadow of
death thrown by the electric
chair. The invitations for the
electric killing of Shea had
been issued, the State electrician was
already upon the ground at Danne
mora prison, the Governor has decided
on Saturday not to interfere in the
carrying out of the sentence and Shea
has resigned himself to his fate, when
another prisoner in the institution, a
comrade of Shea's in the election out
rages, when the tragedy occurred, con
fessed to the crime.
The man who voluntarily confesses
to the crime, and who practically steps
from a prison chair to the menacing
shadow of an electric death, is John
McGough of Troy, now serving a sen
tence of nineteen years and six months
for shooting and attempting to kill
William Ross, a brother of Robert
Ross, who was supposed to be Shea's
victim. Shea has been respited for
four weeks.
BIG COLLIERY BURNED.

monster Park No. 2 colliery, at Tren
ton, owned and operated by Lentz,

known, but in half an hour the largest
individual colliery in this region was
burned to the ground. This colliery,
which was consumed March 11, 1894,
and rebuilt, and again destroyed last
night, was valued at about SIOO.dOO,
and gave employment to 1,000 men
and boys.
Looks Like. Harrison Is to Marry.
Indianapolis, lnd., Jan. 6. The an
nouncement that ex-President Harri
son will leave for New York this
week has started anew the rumors re
garding his reported approaching mar
riage to Mrs. Mary Dimmock, niece of
his deceased wife. His friends now
generally believe in the truth of the
story, the fact that neither he nor
Mrs. Dimmock has ever denied it hav
ing brought them to think there is
foundation in fact for the feports.
For the last month there have been
improvements in progress on the resi
dence at G74 North Delaware street,
painters and decorators being almost
constantly at work. General Harri
son's friends concede that all the indi
cations point to his early nuptials.
Organized Bojtns Masonic Iortge.
New Yokk, Jan. 6. The district at

will reach probably $60,000. He has
organized lodges in nearly all the
larger cities.

THE VERY TOUGHEST TOWN
Was Newton, Kansas, in the Early
Seventies.
A RESPECTABLE PLACE TODAY.
Bat in Its Taatb It Was
Breaker.
Record
gjjTj HE toughest, cuss-
town I ever knew,"
said Buffalo Bill
once, "was Newton,
Kansas, as it was in
the early seventies.
Dodge City and Ma
son Junction used to
figure in the news
papers as the typi
cal rough towns on
the border, but Newton could give
cards and spades on wholesale deprav
ity and recklessness."
Newton today is wide awake, enter
prising and peaceable, and the citizens
know only by tradition of the scenes
of blood in the early days. It has a
handsome opera house, costly and im
posing county buildings, hundreds of
pretty homes, wide avenues of resi
dences, long commercial streets, and
prosperous wholesale and manufactur
ing concerns.
In the spring of 1871 the terminus
of the Santa Fe railroad was at Em
poria. It was determined to build to
a point seventy-five miles further west.
The object was to catch the Texas cat
tle trade. Two men went and camped
on the spot in April, 1871. There was
not a foot of lumber then in what is
now Harvey county, Kan. These men
were the pioneers of the town that
Captain John Sebastian afterwards
named Newton. Six weeks later there
was a population of nearly 2,900. The
history of the town for the first eight
months is a story of lawlessness and
bloodshed that has probably never been
equaled on this continent, although
other places, mining camps and cattle
towns, have kept up the music of the
pistol a greater length of time. As soon
as it became known that Newton was
to be the end of the railroad for a year,
and It was to be a cattle shipping point,
whisky sellers, gamblers and thieves
flocked there by hundreds. Of course
many respectable men seeking a legit
imate business went there, too, but the
object of the majority of the newcom
ers was to rob the cow-boys and cattle
men. For months it was a never-ending
battle. From first to last thirty-six
persons were killed with their boots
on. At least a dozen gambling houses
were run on the main street, and the
doors were kept open day and night,
including Sunday. One of them, the
"Gold Room," was capable of holding
500 to 600 people. Every known kind
of gambling was practiced. A scene
occurred In this place one Sunday night
that is not often witnessed. A Metho
dist preacher went to the boss of the
place, "Doc" Thayer, and requested per
mission to hold divine service. It was
granted, and with every gambling table
running, and the bar sending out its
liquid hell, the preacher, the Rev. Mr.
Hahn, stood up and told the story of
the Man of Nazareth. Before he had
finished his sermon a quarrel arose at
one of the card tables and a man was
shot.
It ia not intended to give a detailed
account of the murders. If a gang of
cow-boys rode into town the smallest
provocation would set their guns going,
and going to kill. A bond election was
held. Several special constables were
appointed for election day. One of
them was a Texan named Martin. At
the polls there was a quarrel between
him and a big Irishman, who called
himself McCluskey, but whose real
name was Arthur Delaney. The result
of that quarrel was the death of eight
men and one woman and the wounding
of an equal number. After the election
was over McCluskey and Martin met
in the Lone Star saloon and renewed
the quarrel. A proposition was made
and accepted to go out on the street
and settle it with the fist. Both men
laid off their belts and started for the
street. Martin had a gun hidden in his
boot, and just as the door was reached
he went down after it, intending to kill
the Irishman. McCluskey was too
quick for him, and, taking the gun
away from Martin, shot him dead. Mc
Cluskey gave himself up and was ac
quitted. Martin had a host of friends, and they
vowed vengeance on his slayer. Hi3
death led to what has always been
known as the "big killing" in Newton.
There were three dance halls across ho
railroad track in what was known as
"Hyde Park." In one of them the "big
killing" occurred. McCluskey was a
hanger-on at one of them. Martin's
friends swore they would kill him and
all who took his part. The engagement
took place according to program. Mc
Cluskey was killed early in the fray.
He had two holes through his neck and
enough lead was scattered about
through his body to make anyone who
discovered his grave imagine that he
had struck a paying lead mine. A man
on the McCluskey side shot nine of the
long-horn crowd, and did it in a novel
way. Knowing that the fight would
occur, this man, Riley by name, went
prepared to make himself felt. He had
four six-shooters on him. At the first
pop of a gun he deliberately walked up
to a Texan and shot him in the eye,
then running his arms between the
arms and body of the dead man, made
a human barricade and shot at will
from a safe ambush. After the fight
ing he went out, mounted a horse and
left. The dead at the "big killing"
were speedily disposed of, and the
wounded taken care of.

THE BOND CALL.
Secretary Carlisle Has Issued
His Circular,
Calling for Bids for a Loan of
$100,000,000.
THE PUBLIC MAY BUY
As the Loan is to be a "Pop
ular One."
Bonds Are to Run Thirty Years
at 4 Per Cent Interest.
Washington. Jan. 6. Secretary of
the Treasury Carlisle last night made
public his circular for a bond issue.
The loan, will be a "popular" one,
and the circular, which is dated Jan
uary 6, gives notice that the govern
ment will sell $100,000,000 thirty year,
4 per cent coupon or registered bonds,
dated February 1, 1895, for. which pur
chasers will be required to pay in gold
coin or gold certificates.
This is the first issue by the present
administration of such a large amount
of bonds at one time, all the previous
issues having been for $50,000,000
each. The circular also contains an
intimation of a possible further issue
of bends should the issue or sale of ad
ditional or different form of bond for
the maintcnanee of the gold reserve
be authorized by law before February
5. The fact that the bonds will be
issued in sums of $50, and multiples
thereof, and be payable in install
ments, is a feature which it is believed
will make them be regarded with pop
ular favor.
The main reason for dating the
bonds a year back is said to be in order
to give the public a better opportu
nity to judge their market value by
comparing them with the gold 4s
issued at that time, so that their bids
can be made to conform with the mar
ket value of those bonds on the 1st of
February.
The circular is as follows: "Notice is
hereby given that sealed proposals
will be received at the office of the
Secretary of the Treasury, at Wash
ington, O. C. , until 12 o'clock m. on
Wednesday, the 5th day of February,
189G, for the purchase of one hundred
million dollars ($100,000,000) of United
States 4 per cent coupon or registered
bonds, in denominations of fifty dol
lars ($50), and multiples of that num
ber, as may be desired by the bidders.
"The right to reject any or all bids
is reserved. The bonds will be dated
on the first day of February, 1896, and
be payable in coin thirty years after
that date, and will bear interest at 4
per cent per annum, payable quarterly
in coin, but all coupons maturing on
or before the 1st day of February,
1896, will be detached, and purchasers
will be required to pay in United
states goldjcoin or gold certificates,
for the bonds awarded to them, and
all interest accrued thereon after the
the 1st day of February, 1896, up to
the time of application for delivery.
Payments for the bonds must be
made at the Treasury of the United
States at Washington, D. C. , or at the
sub-treasuries at New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati,
Chicago, St. Louis or New Orleans, or
they may be made at San Francisco
with exchange on New York, and all
bids must state what denominations
of bonds are desired, and whether
coupon or registered, and at what
place they will be paid for.
"Payments may be made by install
ments, as follows: Twenty per cent
(20) upon receipt of notice of acceptance
of bids, and twenty per cent (20) at
the -end of each ten days thereafter;
but ail accepted bidders may pay the
whole amount at the date of the first
installment, and those who have paid
all installments previously maturing
may pay the whole amount of their
bids at any time not later than the
maturity of the last installment.
"The bonds will be ready for deliv
ery on or before the 15th day of Feb
ruary, 1896.
"Notice is further hereby given that
if the issue and sale of an additional
or different form of bond for the
maintenance of the gold reserve shall
be authorized by law before the 5th
day of February, 1896, sealed pro
posals for the purchase of such bonds
will also be received at the same time
and place, and up to the same date,
and upon the same terms and condi
tions herein set forth, and such bids
will be considered, as well as the bids
for the four per cent bonds herein
mentioned. J. G. Carlisle,
Secretary of the Treasury."
