WEYLER TO TAKE THE FIELD.
New York, N. Y., Jan. 12.—A special to
the World from Key West, Fla., says:
Consul General Lee went to Guanabacoa;
hearing that an American had been shot
there. It was ascertained that a Cuban
had been shot down near his own door as
he was going home. “Only a Cuban dog,'*
was the police officer’s report.
Havana reports that Gen. Weyler is go-
ing to take the field in Havana and Ma-

Firing was heard about five miles west of
Havana today. It is supposed that there
was an insurgent raid. Such things are
so common now that litle attention is paid
to them.

Canton, O., Jan. 12.—The Ohio- president-

to congratulate Maj. McKinley. They
were received at luncheon at the McKin-
ley home.
Judge Halstead and Attorneys Knight
and Duvall were here to see Maj, McKin-

They asked, it is understood, for a prac-

New York, N. Y., Jan. 12.—A dispatch to

General Lee has authorized your cor-
respondent to deny the truth of the state-
ment telegraphed to the Herald, as fol-
lows: “See Secretary Olney and tell hint
that I am more firmly convinced than ever
that Spain can not put down the insur-
rection, and that every day means loss of
life and property, without the remotest en-
couragement for Spanish success. I long
since told him the insurrection would suc-
ceed, and this would receive early con-
firmation.”
“Will you kindly wire the Herald wheth-
er this is true?”
The general seized a pen and wrote iui
vigorous characters:
“I gave Mr. Money no message to Mr*
Olney of any nature.”

Mgr. Martinelli Thinks the Church Would
Fare Better Under Spaniards.
New York, N. Y., Jan. 12.—A special to
the Herald, from Washington, says: The
papal delegate, Archbishop Martinelli,
has received discouraging' news from his
vicar general, Roderiguez, in Rome, re-
garding the rebellion in the Phillipine isl-
ands. In an interview last night. Mgr.
Martinelli discussed the situation in both
the Phillipine islands and In Cuba with
Considerable freedom.
“Our order is very strong there,” said the
archbishop, “and we have several bish-
ops and 333 priests scattered all through
the province. It was too much to expect
that all of them had escaped, and the news
received is very bad. I have two letters
from my vicar general, and he informs me
that five priests in parishes about Manilla
have been carried off by the rebels and no
news whatever has been received from
them.
“In the absence of information we be-
lieve that they are dead. The rebellion in
the Phillipines is likely to prove a most
horrible affair, as the natives are only
semi-civilized. Spain, too, is handicapped
to some extent by the fact that she main-
tains on the island only a scattered army
of about 4000 men. Spain will have a diffi-
cult task to subdue the half barbarous
people of the Phillipines.”
Mgr. Martinelli, after referring to the
various reports regarding himself and
the affairs in Cuba, said: “I have rea-
son to believe that the rebellion in Cuba
will be ended very shortly. At least that
is what I gather from what I hear from
Rome. These reports all go to show that
the rebellion is growing rapidly to a close,
and that it will probably be ended by the
middle or last of February. The Spanish
troops seem to be victorious and the list
of killed and wounded grows constantly
larger.
“We have reason to believe, as far as
the war itself is concerned, we would be
better treated by the Spanish government
in Cuba than we would be by the new
government should the rebellion succeed.
It is sure that in case they did not suc-
ceed, the larger number of the Spanish
priests would be banished from the land,

Topeka, Kan., Jan. 12.—Following is a
synopsis of Gov. John B. Leedy’s message
to the legislature. It is an exhaustive
document, dealing minutely with the
workings of different state departments
and brim full of recommendations. His
first utterance touches upon adverse criti-
cisms on Kansas made by eastern states
and ridiculing that portion of the country.
Gov. Leedy draws a parallel of the de-
gree of prosperity in his state with that of
its alleged maligners.
“With profound regret for the misfor-
tunes of our more pretentious sisters of
the east,” says the governor, “I congratu-
late the state of Kansas upon the many
simple blessings that have fallen to us in
these adverse times. While those who
clamor for alms in the streets of crowded
cities are many, those who seek assist-
ance from our ready public bounty are
few. While the failure of great commer-
cial institutions brings sad calamity to
the chief capitals where fortunes accumu-
late, less imposing but quite useful de-
positories of ^Kansas savings are giving
gratifying evidences of stability, while
according to the press of the nation’s
most populous metropolis, her children
linger in the streets untaught except in
the lore of the pavement, unfed except at
the hands of charity, unhoused except in
the kennels they dispute with creatures
scarcely less miserable, the common-
wealth of Kansas, rejoicing in a public
school system, which is the most grateful
heritage we have received from our fath-
ers and the best legacy we can leave our
children, finds ample house room and
school room for every Kansas child and
for such straggling waifs as come to us
for aid in Kansas, except those birds of
passage which flit by us, grim reminders
of old communities.
“With a cheerful audacity that almost
challenges admiration, Grub street scrib-
blers on a venal press, which panders to
the most vicious instincts of semi-civilized
foreign colonies like New York city and
Chicago, with semi-barbaric splendor at
the apex and semi-barbaric sq^filor at
the base of their serial life, have offered
puny and presumptuous criticism of those
whose shoe strings they are not worthy to
unloose. The dogs of Egypt have barked
at the pyramids unanswered for 50 cen-
turies. , When the accused doge stood be-
fore the Venetian council he said: ‘My de-
fense is your accusation.’
“Let Grub street rail on; they will know
that Kansas was a pillar of cloud by day
and a pillar of fire by night. Before an
oppressed people in the nation’s darkest
hours we shall keep those fires alight in
our camps and that smoke ascending from
our hill tops till this is indeed a govern-
ment of the people, for the people, and by
the people.”

including those of three priests. All ofi
the rebels died game. At Mindanao seven!

Effort to Re-establish a Course to Match
the Famous English.
New York, N. Y., Jan. 12.—The Herald
this morning says: The efforts to establish
an American Henly on the Thames river
at New London have assumed such propor-
tions that success seems inevitable. The
committee in charge of the project com-
prises representative men of the old sea
port town, and they will do all in their
power to make it pleesant for their boat-
ing visitors.
The regatta will be similar in scope to
the Henley of England, and th© thous-
ands of oarsmen who are familiar with
the Thames at New London need not be
told of its many advantages, both for the
competing crews and the sightseers. The’
water is seldom too rough either for prac-
tice or races, and the eligible locations
where suitable boat houses are already
built and can be erected, afford the quiet-
est retreats imaginable for the rowing
men. The committeemen will see that
accommodations for boats are ^furnished
free, and the matter of quarjeifing the
crews, whatever number there jnay be,
will receive the prompt attentiop it de-
mands.
All suitable trophies will in good sea-
son be offered for the following; events:
Eight oarffis, four oars, "air oars gnd sin-
gle sculls, and the last week in Jufie is re-
garded as the best time for holding the re-
gatta. It is expected that former' college
carsmen will organize crews, while there
are good reasons for believing that the
majority of the prominent athletic club
crews will favorably respond to the invi-
tation. And so encouraged are the com-
mittee that they have issued blanks and
distributed them liberally throughout the
country, with the view of ascertaining so
far as practicable, the probable number
of crews that may accept the invitation
and thus do their part toward the success
of the inauguration of this most desirable
amateur regatta on the best course that
can be found in the United States.

recommendation for an appropriation of
$250,000 for preliminary surveys of a water
way depth of 26 to 30 feet, accommodating

CHURCH PEOPLE HAVE A DANCE.
Innovation at an Entertainment by a
Kansas City (Kan.) Church.
Kansas City Star.
The Very Rev. Dean Duffy, rector of St.
Paul’s Episcopal church, Kansas City,
Kan., has shown himself to be the most
liberal preacher in that city. Last evening
the women's guild of his church gave an
entertainment at the armory, at which
Dean Duffy presided. The good rector had
caused it to be extensively advertised as
a “conversazione,” with the following as
some of the subjects of discussion: Re-
cherche dejeuner, microscopic delineations,
phantasmagoric portraitures, galvanic
manipulations, idiosyncratic exhibitions,
musical promenades and obturatic gyra-
tions. A musical recital was first given,
in which vocalists, elocutionists, whis-
tlers, pianists, violinists and others took
part. The floor of the armory was then
cleared and an old fashioned dance was
given. A musician and a caller were
present and everything was carried out in
the most approved ball room form. There
was a large attendance. It is the first in-
stance in the memory of the oldest inhabi-
tant of a church allowing dancing at one
of its entertainments. Dean Duffy was
seconded, however, in this movement by
the approval of the vestrymen of the
church, most of whom showed their favor-
able sentiment by lending their presence
to the occasion. This feature of the enter-
tainment was entered into by the young
people very heartily. Members of the
church say there is nothing in the dis-
cipline of the church prohibiting dancing,
and that they do not know of its having
ever been condemned by any high au-
thority of the. church. It is merely left
optional with the members to dance or not
according to the dictates of their con-
science.

DUBOIS MEMBERS OUSTED.
Boise, Ida., Jan. 12.—The lower house of
the legislature has unseated two Dubois
members from Bingham county. Three
Democrats voted for their retention. The
ground on which this was done was the
alleged irregularity in printing the names
of the candidates on two ballots. This
point has been decided by the supreme
court in opposition to the stand taken by
the house. A singular fact is that the
governor and several other state officers
had their names on two tickets and the
same conditions prevailed on other county
tickets. It is claimed by Dubois’ friends
that the action of the house will react in /
his favor.

Butter is Monarch of the Table, its right
i to first place, there’s none to dispute, and
in Galveston none can dispute that our
Butter is always the Best. Such a triumph
of the dairy can at best be only equalled,
Ji never surpassed. The only Butter here-
>5 a-bouts like ours, is ours. Poor Butter is
7 never cheap, vaunt it ever so much. “Eat
the best of everything” is the first rule of
good digestion. That means hereabouts
eat our Stock of Groceries.

Manager Dermody of the' Qalveston
base ball club has about concluded ar-
rangements with Short Stop Bob Rather-
mel, of Reading, Pa., to play with the Gal-
veston team next season. Rathermel is
said to be a fine all ’jound playfer, and it
is thought he will do well in the new
club. The Detroit club is said to have
drafted Steinfeldt, the crack second base-
man, whom Dermody refused i,o sell to
that club earlier in the season.. If this
turns out to be the case Rathermel will
play Second base when the club is organ-
ized.
Mr. Dermody is still in correspondence
with the Brooklyn club, with a view to
having that club play some exhibition
games in Texas before the regular season
opens, but has not met with much en-
couragement so far. At first it was
thought that the club would surely come
here, but there has been some trouble in
arranging games on the way south. It is
also possible that the Chicago club will
again come to Galvestcn for their regular
spring practice, but when last heard from
the management had not decided where
the club would go for the customary prac-
tice before the opening of the regular sea-
son.
Manager Dermody is chairman of the
committee on ways and means of the Tex-
as league, and at the meeting of the league
in San Antonio last November, it was left
to this committee to consider applications
from other Texas towns which might de-
sire to become members of the Texas
league. So far the league consists of but
six clubs, and it is much desired to have
an eight-club league, if such a thing is
possible. It was thought that Denison and
Sherman could possibly combine and sup-
port a club nicely, but neither town has
yet shown any disposition to join the
league. Waco1 and Paris were also con-
sidered as likely applicants for- a fran-
chise, but they have not as yet Said any-
thing about such a move. If thdse towns
wish to enter the league, Manager Der-
mody says, they should be thinking about
getting their franchise, as they will have
but little time in which to'organize their
clubs, and the best of the material will
have been gobbled up by the older clubs
if some action is not taken pretty soon.
The league will hold a meeting early next
month to arrange a schedule and to trans-
act such other business as is necessary
before the season opens up. Unless other
Texas towns get into line before that time
the league will be confined to the six origi-
nal clubs of Galveston, Houston, San An-
tonio, Austin, Fort Worth and Dallas.
Mrs. Laura Bromley Dies at the Feet of
Her Benefactor.
Chicago Record.
Joy killed Mrs. Laura Bromley yester-
day. Her husband was a solicitor and col-
lector for the Metropolitan life insurance
company. Two weeks ago the insurance
company claimed there was a shortage of
$34 in her husband’s accounts. He was
nearly blind and said he was innocent of
wrongdoing, but he was discharged. The
American surety company was on ^is
bond. Wednesday that company notified
him that if the $34 in question was' not
paid to it by 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon
he would be arrested. /
Bromley did not have $34; he did not have
car fare or enough to eat. He was in
despair. His wife thought that if she could
have an opportunity to intercede for her
husband it might avail. She persuaded
her husband to accompany her and to-
gether they went to the office of the in-
surance company; the wife bent upon see-
ing Thomas Williams, the agent. She saw
him, and in tears begged for her husband’s
freedom. Mr. Williams had not ordered
the arrest of Bromley; knew nothing of it,
and said so frankly. He said, moreover,
he would see that such a thing did not
happen and turned to dictate such a letter
to his stenographer.
Then it was that joy proved too much
for Mrs. Bromley. She tried to thank Mr.
Williams, but as she strove to speak her
voice was stilled and she fell forward dead
at the feet of her benefactor.
Outside the husband waited for his wife.
There was the clang of the gong of a
patrol wagon. Policemen trampled
through the hall. Bromley thought they
came for him. He stumbled toward the
door which hid his wife, to say good by,
and they met him with the stretcher which
bore her body.
