the arrest on Monday evening of Salvador
Franch, the noted anarchist leader, chief
of th" cons piracy to cau.se death and de-
struction in the Liceo theater. Before the j Mr
examining magistrate Franch confessed
to being: the author of th ■ Liceo theater
bomb outrage. Salvador Franch says that
he alone was responsible when twenty-live
j>eople wore killed and over fitty others
injured, some of whom have since died of
their injuries. Franch said: "Taking" a
bomb in each hand, T hurled one of them
with all my might into the center of the
closely packed stalls where the group of
select people were sitting, and a fine explo-
sion followed the landing of the bomb.
J threw the other one almost immediately
afterward, but I don't believe it exploded,
or I should have killed a nice lot of bour-
geois, as 1 aimed it with care at a par-
ticular portion of th^ theater where tnat
hated class was thick.
"Of course .there was a terrible panic
after the explosion of the bomb, ami be-
fore it had in any way passed 1 was en-
abled to get away, as 1 was already clear
of the seats, and had no difficulty in mak-
ing for the staircase, and from there run-
ning down into the street."
Franch then told how he remained in
hiding, supplied with all the news by nis

TRANSFERRED THE 'ANARCHISTS.
Madrid, Jan. 3.—A dispatch received from
Barcelona to-day says .that ten of the ar-
rested anarchistic -leaders, including I* oiler
and Godina, were handed over this morn-
ing by the civil authorities of the city to
the military authorities, owing to the fact
that the latter have declared that the pris-
oners were accomplices of Pallas in ni.s
Attempt upon the life of General Martinez
Campos and that they must consequently
lie tried by martial law. The anarchists
were terror-stiricken when handed over to
the officers in command of the troops as
they expected they were being led out for
immediate execution. As it is, it is be-
lieved tta't the ten leaders of the anarch-
ists of Barcelona will soon be tried by
court martial.

Half That Is Published About Kansas
Politics Declared to Be False and
Made From V/hole Cloth.
Topeka, Kan., ,Tan. X—Governor Lewelling
returned from Leavenworth at noon to-
lay, and upon his arrival at his office there
he immediately went into executive session
with Frank Dorster on Mrs. Lease's easa.
His front office was besieged, and after
numerous requisitions for an audience, he
sent out the following:
'This talk about Mrs. Lease and Governor
Lewelling is getting to be a chestnut. The
president don't care very much about indi-
viduals. No man or woman is greater than
the party he represents, and populists in
particular are looking for good government
more than to uphold any man or woman.
Half that is published about current poli-
tics in Kansas is false and made from
whole cloth. Now, the statements that an
armistice hnd been declared or any kind
of understanding arrived at -between Mrs.
Lease and myself are false; the numerous
reasons assigned for her removal are false;
that I had telegraphed a member of the
federation of labor to come to Topeka, so
we could go to Leavenworth to influence
the action of the federation for or against
anvbidv's interests is a. falsehood; the
statement that Mrs. Lease had employed
Judge Derstor is a lie. Who goes tip or
who goes down in politics makes very utile
difference if the heaven inspired principles
forward.

PLASTERS.
If you are thinking about buying a plas-
ter, remember that you will place it upon
your body and can not get a plaster too
good for you.
Allcock's Porous Plaster is the best plas-
ter made. Your druggist may have some
other plaster on his shelves which he is
anxious to get rid of, or else some worth-
less imitation purchased at a low price
for the purpose ol' substitution. Do not
accept his "Just as good" plea, insist upon
having the genuine. Allcock's Porous Plas-
ter has no equal.
Brandreth's Pills can always be relied
upon.

tempt was made hist night to wreck pas-
senger train No 223 on the Mittwurl Pacific,

ALL WERE VACCINATED.
Chicago, 111., .Ian. 3.—Every man in the
employ of the Chicago City railway com-
pany, from the president down—3000 in
all—have been vaccinated. The cause is
the smallpox scare now on. For live days
three doctors have been kept busy, the
work being completed today. A bushel
basket of vaccine points were used.
Pcnnambuco, Jan. 3.—[Copyright, 1894,
by the Associated Press.]—Admiral de
Mello and his war ships, the Aquidaban
and Republlca, have not yet arrived off
this port, and it does not seem that there
i3 any Immediate probability of a naval
battle being fought here. All Information
received here from Rio de Janeiro, from
either side, is more or less unreliable, but
it is announced that United States and
German war ships, acting in concert, have
notified the rebel admiral that the fire of
his .ships must be so directed as not to
interfere with flip German and American
vessels at t.he anchorage now used for
loading and discharging merchant ships.
According to the Insurgent point of view,
President Peixoto is reduced to the last
extremity, .and an early ending of 'the
civil war may be anticipated.
If the government reports are to be be-
lieved Admiral de Mello Is upon the point
of surrendering, as his ships are In need
of all necessaries for continuing the war
and the sailors are grumbling at not re-
ceiving theid- pay and are anxious to
make peace with the government. On tlie
other hand, it Is reported that the insur-
gents have won a most Important victory
In ihe south and that they are rapidly ad-
vancing .toward .the capital. Bage, which
has been besieged by the Insurgents for
some time past, Is said to have fallen into
the hands of the rebels, who are receiving
reinforcement every day.
Captain Nunese of the Nictehroy seems
to have had more trouble with his crew,
and a number ol' them are ashore here
and determined to return to New York.
JI should be added that some of those who
were among the first to come ashore have
since rejoined the Nictheroy, and it is
believed that this cruiser is ready to put
to sea. Some of the sailors ashore speak
in very harsh terms of their treatment on
board the Nictheroy and the America.
The United States cruiser San Francisco,
after coaling here and taking on board wa-
ter and light provisions, will sail for the
south to-day, possibly touching at Bahia
on the way to Rio de Janeiro.
Admiral Da Gama has reiterated his as-
sertion, made frequently within the last
month, that he has no Intention of advo-
cating the restoration of the monarchy,
and again expresses his willingness to
resign his command If this step will in
any way benefit the cause of Ihe insur-
gents. The latest report received here is
to the effect that Admiral de Mello started
north to meet the Nictheroy, but, upon
hearing that she had been reinforced by the
America, th. rebel admiral is said to have
gone southward again. It is also reported
here that a number of men are In irons
on board the Nictheroy as well as on board
the America, and that serious disturbances
have occurred in both vessels.
EVERYTHING QUIET.
Washington, Jan. 3.—The secretary of the
navy has received the following cablegram
from Admiral Benham, on board the San
Francisco:
Pernambuco, Jan. 2.—Everything is as
quiet as possible throughout Hrazil. There
is no reason 'to apprehend trouble at pres-
ent. Will leave here to-morrow for Bahia.
BENHAM.
The Miantonomah is still at Norfolk and
has received no orders to put to sea. No
word was received of the departure of the
New York from St. Lucia, British West
Indies.
The Keansarge had been detailed to the
duty of destroying derelicts in the north
Atlantic when it was found necessary to
dfspatah her to San Domingo on account
of the insurgent outbreak there. It is in-
tended that t'he Vesuvius shall cruise to
destroy derelicts, but she Is at present un-
dergoing slight repairs, which will not be
completed until January 6.
WILL TERMINATE SHORTLY.
Buenoa Ayres, Jan. 3.—The insurgents in
Rio Granule do Sul are marching on Santa
Anna, which place the government troops
have abandoned.
A rumor has readlied here from Rio de
Janeiro that If the revolution Is not ended
by an immediate and decisive naval engage-
ment It will shortly be terminated by an
arrangement between the two parties.
FORBID BOMBARDMENT.
Chicago, 111., Jan. 3.—A dispatch received
here from Rio de Janeiro says that the
commanders of the foreign warships ait Rio
have forbidden Admiral Da (lama from
bombarding the city unless directly at-
tacked by the land forces.
THE SAN FRANCISCO.
Pernambuco, Jain. 3.—The United States
cruiser San Francisco sailed from this
port for the 'south to-day. Important
developments, the officers of t'he San Fran-
cisco say, are expected at Rio de Janeiro
shortly.

SPORTING TOPICS.
SIGNED AMENDED ARTICLES.
Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 3.—Charles Mitch-
ell signed the amended articles of agree-
ment to-day under pressure of the officials
of the Duval athletic club, and thus re-
lieves himself of t'he charge of being a
"rank quitter."
The amended articles now provide that
the fight shall take place in Duval or St.
Johns county, the latter being the county
111 wblc.h Mitchell's training quarters are
located. Mitchell also Insisted on a change
In the clause regarding the furnishing of
the gloves for the light. The original ar-
ticles provided l'or five-ounce gloves to be
furnished by Corbett. The Englishman In-
sisted that the clause should be changed
so as to read that the gloves should be
furnished by "Corbett or Mltdhel'l." l'.owden
yielded this point, anil the articles wcire
changcd accordingly. Manager lJowden had
a long conference with Mitchell at his
training quarters.
"Hat" Masterson, the well-known Col-
orado sport, was present. Mitchell said
that his objection to signing the amended
articles was not because he wanted to
"crawflfh," but due to the fact that he
was a foreigner and did not want to vio-
late the law of the state. Mitchell further
claimed to be anxious to meet Corbett at
any time and place and said that he came
to America, for that express purpose. When
Manager liowden got back to Jacksonville
from .Mitchell's training quarters, he found
Corbett In the city. When the champion
was shown the amended articles signed by
Mitchell, he "cut up rough" about the
change in the clause relating to the gloves.
Corbett claims that, as champion, he has
the undoubted rljcht to furnish the gloves
and says that Bowden has been led Into a
trap by Mitchell by which the latter hopes
to get out of fighting at the last moment
by raising a dispute about the gloves. Cor-
bett was In n great passion and swore that
he would not sign the amended articles
unless It was stipulated that in case of
dispute each principle might furnish his
own gloves, said gloves to weigh not less
than five ounces. To pacify Corbett this
additional amendment was made, and
Mitchell, when Informed of the change,
answered that It was satisfactory. Cor-
bett seems to fear some trick by which
Mitchell may evade meeting him at the last
moment.
The ordinance passed by the city coun-
cil la-st night opens up another recourse
for the club, so Its members claim. The
effect, of the ordinance is to license glove
contests. The club proposes to get a li-
cense and demand police protection from
■the city In the carrying out of what it
claims Is a lawful programme. If the
county authorities interfere and stop the
con tost the oity will be sued for heavy
damages for not preventing by Interference
with what It licenses to be lawful. Re-
garding the change In the articles, til?
place lo be selected, the Associated Press
correspondent asked Manager Bowden if
the desire of the club ito have the privilege
of naming any place meant that the club
might find It necessary to name a secret
place. He replied:
"No, Indeed, they could not afford any-
thing of the kind. It would cost them
Just about $30,000. That was a little too
much of a luxury. They were satisfied that
such contefs were lawful and proposed to
have the thing publicly. The club mem-
bers still talk confidently of their ability
to pull off the light, but 'how.they propose
to do it in the face of Governor Mitchell's
opposition is one of the things they are
keeping from the public."
it is stated .to-night that the club pro-
poses to bring off the contest just as the
Sullivan-KiiraUi affair was managed ait
RlChbUrg, Miss., in 1889.

Interest the sporting element in Texas to
know that the opinion here is that the
fight between Corbett and Mitchell will
not come off. Thomas Murrey, the keeper
of the house restaurant, and who is now
In Florida, telegraphs the press club to-
night that the newspaper correspondents
can bet all their salaries that the fight will
never come off In Florida. Many of the

club claims, gives them a case for damages
against the city if it does not give police
protection to stop any interference with
the fight. This 'is a new phase of the
case.
