} lHESTUBBORNSUL’llN ilbd'ul Doesn't Relish the Idea of Die. tation by the Powers. IHIS RESPONSE .TO RUSSIA. “I May Be the Last of the Caliphs, but Nev- er a Second thdive," Declares the I Accomplished Slayer of Help- less VVomen and Children. I-~ - CONSTANTINOPL‘E, Dec. 29.—The Rus- sian embassador, M. de Nelidofi‘, on Sat- urday, acting in concert with the repre- sentatives of Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany and Austria, had an audience of the sultan, Abdul Hamid, one of many such interviews which have taken place within the past year on the same subject, that of insisting upon abetter administra- tion of the affairs of the Turkish empire. The Russian diplomat began by warning the sultan and the Turkish government that if the revenues ceded for the payments of the Turkish debt were touched Eu- ropean control of the finances of the em- pire would become inevitable. M. de Nelidoff further informed Abdul Hamid that the czar guaranteed his per- sonal safety and engaged himself to main- min the sultan’s supremacy in the event of severe measures being necessary upon the part of the powers. The sultan, however, remained Obdurate so far as consenting to concede any meas- ure of control to the powers, financial or otherwise. To this the Russia embassador replied that the condition of the Turkish empire placed the throne and the caliphate in im- minent peril. Thereupon Abdul Hamid remarked im— pressively, “I may be the last of the caliphs, but I will never become a second khedi’ve. ” A Significant Note. In addition to these warnings, M. de Nelidoff sent a note to the Turkish gov- ernment and to the palace, and the utmost significance is attached to it in diplomatic circles. ~Hc pointed out in precise terms the necessity of the sultan following the advice Of the powers and acting in com~ plete agreement with their plans for im- proving the situation, warning thcm once more that tho sultan’s refusal to do so in- volves the most disagreeable consequences. The ambassadors of the powers will meet again in order to discuss the situa- tion and will reassemble in future twice a week until they complete their recommen~ dations to the sultan and his advisers. The envoys, acting together, will hence- forth maintain the strictest secrecy regard- ing their deliberations and the action taken or contemplated a'nd will not even inform the envoys of the other powers of the de- cisions reached. These latest steps upon the part of the powers are once again reported to have produced a profound impression at the Yildiz kiosk, and, in pursuance of the is- suing of the amnesty decree, Armenian prisoners in Asia Minor and this city and vicinity are being released daily in batches of 15. ' ' It is announced today that the budget estimates for 1897 show that the assets ex- ceed the expenditures by 82,000 Turkish pounds. This result has been brought about by reducing the war estimates 1,000,- 000 pounds Turkish by making economies in other departments and by an increase in the tithes. McCoy Beats Doherty. JOHANNESBURG, Dec. 29.—-Kid McCoy, the American middleweight, defeated Billy Doherty of Australia in nine rounds for the middleweight championship of the world. The fight was to be 20 rounds and was for $5,000 a side and a division bf the gate receipts. Doherty, who recently de- feated Tom Duggan for the championship of South Africa without getting a scratch, was completely outclassed by McCoy in cleverness. The men came together at 158 pounds. The Australian was the favorite in the betting at the start, but after the third round the betting changed to the American, who had the best of the ex- changes throughout. McCoy, who sails for England next Sat- urday, has challenged Ted White to make a match at $2, 500 a side. The Russian Currency. LONDON, Dec. 29.—The St. Petersburg correspondent of The Daily Telegraph says: “The scheme of M. de Witte to introduce a gold currency has been shelved, first, be- cause the finance commission reported ad- versely; second, because leading financists, political economists and the zcmstvos op- pose it, and finally because the czar con- sulted M. Meline upon the scheme, and the French premier’s views were diametrically opposed to M. de Witte’s project.” Clemenceau Seriously. Ill. PARIS, Dec. 29.—M. Clemenceau, the distinguished statesman, is seriously ill. He was born in 1841, founded La Justice in 1880, became the recognized leader of ‘ the Extreme Left in the chamber of depu- ties some time later and in 1888 ran against M. Meline for the presidency of that body, receiving 168 votes to 168 cast for the lat- ter, who was declared elected on account If seniority. Overtaxation of Ireland. DUBLIN, Dec. 29. ——There was a large meeting at the Mansion House this after- noon, the lord mayor presiding, to protest against the overtaxation of Ireland as dis- closed by . the royal commission on the financial relations between England and Ireland. The report showed that Ireland is now overtaxed to the amount of £2, 750.- 000 ($13, 750,000) annually. ' The Steamer Volo Lost. HULL, England, Dec. 29.—The Wilson line steamship Volo is a total loss off Wingu, on the coast of Sweden. The pas- sengers and crew were saved. The Volo was a screw steamship built at Hull in 1890 and registering 841 tons net and 1,289 tons gross. She was 260 feet long, had 32 feet beam and was 16% feet deep. M. Hanotaux’s Plans.

ZUKER sshrrronn The New York Firebug Must Serve Think ty-six Years In Sing Sing Prison. NEW YORK, Dec. ESQ—Isaac Zuker, who was convicted last night of arson in the first degree, was sentenced today by Justice ‘ Fursman to 36 years” imprisonment in Sing Sing. There were few ’persons in the court room besides the reporters and court Offi- cers when Zuker was brought in. After the usual questions as to name, age, occu- pation, etc., were put to the prisoner and answered by him Counsel Levy made a formal application for a new trial on the following grounds: . First. —Because the verdict was contrary to law. ‘ . Second. —Because against the evidence. Third—Because the verdict was against the weight of evidence. Fourth—Because the court admitted il- legal and improper evidence. Fifth—Because the court excluded legal evidence. Sixth—Because the court refused to. in- struct the jury to acquit, as requested by defendant. ‘ The application was denied, and Mr. Levy then said: “I think all that could be said in behalf of this defendant has been said. I have only to ask that your honor deal .mercifully with him in fixing the term of his sentence.” Justice Fursman then addressed the prisoner as follows: “Isaac Zuker, the crime of which you have been convicted is one of the most horrible known to the criminal law, and there is little in your case to call for the mercy of the court. You have not the ex- cuse of poverty which sometimes serves as a mitigating element in determining the sentence of the court, for it has been shown that you are possessed of consider- able property. I will not impose the full penalty, however. The sentence of the court’ is that you shall be confined in the state prison at Sing Sing for a period of 36 years at hard labor.” Zukcr received the sentence impassively and stood in stolid silence while Mr. Levy asked for a stay of execution, pending an appeal. Justice Fursman said he would grant a stay of 24 hours. While these proceedings were going on in the courtroom Mrs. Zuker, her son and two daughters were standing in the corri- dor awaiting the sentence of the court. It was thought best by friends of the family, however, that the sentence should not be announced to the wife and children in such a public place. They were accord- ingly conducted to the offices of Messrs. Howe 85 Hummel, in ignorance of the se~ vere penalty imposed upon the husband and father, and thus a. scene like that at- tending the announcement of the jury’s verdict last night was averted. Mrs. Zuker contented herself with glaring upon the reporters and exclaiming as she turned to leave the building: “Don’t look at me! Don’t look at me!” Her oldest daughter and son conducted themselves in a quiet manner, and the only member of the family that showed any marked evidence of grief was the little girl, who stood holding her mother’s skirts, cry- ing piteously. TEE IRISH BOG SLIDE. A Roaring Mass Sweeps Unchecked Into the Lake of Killarney. DUBLIN, ,Dec. 30. ——During last night and today the terrible bog slide at Castle Island, County Kerry, continugl un- checked, a copious rainfall helpfig the movement. The mass of hog, a mile and a half wide, roars like the ocean, carries away bridges and roads, destroying houses and farms, sweeping through the valley and emptying peat, carcassq: of cows, sheep and donkeys and debris of houses into the lake of Killer- ncy. The people living in the direction the bog slide is coming have fled, and the po- lice are arriving on all sides to search for bodies. Lord Kenmare has caused a cordon of guards to be drawn around the slide in order to prevent the loss of life. The greatest excitement prevails in the vicinity, and all the houses there are open to receive the hundreds of people rendered homeless by the disaster. ' the verdict was The remarkable slide of hog land in County Kerry began yesterday and over— whelméd the entire-family of 16' persons of Mr. Donnelly, steward for Lord Kcnmarc, whose residence, Killarney House, is at Killarney. The whole aspect of the county has been changed, and, while it is knoWn that the Donnelly household was swept to death, it is not known how many others were over- whelmed in the first movement of bog land. The heavy rains that have been falling in that part of Ireland are the cause of the fatal landslide, the water percolating through the soil and loosening the elevated hill of earth, which seems to have slipped into the hog and forced awave of mud down to the beautiful lake of Ki’llarney. The district affected is one of the most picturesque in Ireland, and the beauty of the lakes is famous the world over. The movement of the slide is to the southwest, toward the river Flesk, which was practically blocked by the debris, and the electric lighting plants whose dynamos were run by the river Were rendered use- less.

Were Very Fine—The Lady Is the Daugh- ter of the Widow of the Late Colonel Jerome Bonaparte. WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—The wedding of Count Adam de Moltke-Huitfeldt of Den- mark and Miss Louise Eugenie Bonaparte, daughter of the widow of the late Colonel Jerome Bonaparte, took place today in St. Paul’s Roman Catholic church. It was one of the most interesting inter- national marriages which have taken place in Washington for many years, and much regret was felt that, owing to the recent death of the father of the groom while Danish embassador at‘Paris, the plans for an imposing ceremony had to be aban- doned. As it was the invitations to the church numbered scarcely 100 and the party which sat down to the wedding breakfast following the ceremony at the home of Mrs. Bonaparte, on K street, was restricted to members of the family. - The church was handsomely decorated with flowers and plants suggestive of the Christmas season, holly and mistletoe he'- ing used in abundance, but with fine ef- fect. The national colors of the United States‘and Denmark were blended in the wall panels. The ushers were Messrs. Walter Van Rensselaer Berry. Frank An- _‘ . J/Ifl " T7 . v I‘ - I" 7 ll arenas: 0!"

The bride was escorted to the altar and given in marriage by her uncle, Mr. Charles Bonaparte of Baltimore. His eminence Cardinal Gibbons, arch- bishop of Baltimore, an old friend of the Bonaparte family, performed the core- mony. and Father Foley, priest of the par- ish of St. Paul’s, was celebrant of the nuptial mass, which succeeded the mar- riage ceremony. During the singing of the mass Count Adam de Moltke-Huit— feldt and his bride occupied seats within the sanctuary. . The bride was attired in an exquisite gown of white satin, the trimming of which was priceless old family lace. Her veil was clasped to the hair by a diamond crescent, the gift of ex-Empress Eugenie, the bride’s godmother. . Handsome Wedding Gifts. 9 The gifts showered upon the bride were exhibited to the breakfast party at the home of Mrs. Bonaparte. They comprised one of the most elaborate and superb col- lections ever bestowed upon a bride and included remembrances from almost every family in the diplomatic corps and many in official life. . Count de Moltke-Huitfeldt and bride will proceed to St. Petersburg, which will be their home for a time at least. The count held a diplomatic position in Paris under his father, but that was vacated by the embassador‘s death, and his future movements are uncertain. ' Miss Bonaparte, the bride of today, is the great-great granddaughter of the fa- mous beauty, Betsy Patterson of Balti- more, whose marriage to Joseph Bona- ‘trtc, brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, was celebrated at Baltimore on Christmas eve, 1803, the Rev. John Carroll, bishop of Maryland, officiating. The alliance was not recognized by Na- poleon Bonaparte, and Jerome, yielding to his solicitations and demands, aban- doned his American wife, who indignant- ly rejected Napoleon’s offer of a large pen- sion “provided she does not take the name of my family.” Her son, Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, was born in ,the suburbs of London, where she had been forced to take refuge by the relentless persecution of her brother-in-law. The events that followed are historic—-the refusal of the pope to dissolve the marriage, the decree of the council of state of France, under Napo- leon’s dictation, declaring it null, Jer- ome’s creation by Napoleon as king of Westphalia and his subsequent marriage _' to a princess of Wurttemberg. The name "Jerome,” which Mme. Patterson Bona- parte conferred upon her only son, has been handed down in the family ever since, be- ing borne now by a brother of the bride, a boy yet in his teens. ‘ ‘__,_... ,,..

The fire started in Wil- son’s meatmarket on Main street. The fire engine was disabled, and the hydrants were frozen, so that the flames had gained good headway before a stream was on the burning structure. The fire spread rapidly and carried away a large part of the busi- ness partof the village. ' Cole to Succeed Beardsley. ALBANY, Dec. 29.—-The resignation of Samuel W.

III—Itch lG’AIN. He Is Accused of Betraying the Three Friends Expedition. SPANISH eUNBoAT READY. Circumstances Tending to Show the Guilt __6r_ Macao's Perfldious Friend—An American Sentenced to Im- prlsonment For Life. NEW anK, Dec. 29.—The Mail and Ex- press has the following dispatch from its Havana correspondent, who sent it via Key West in order to avoid the press censor: It is now known through advices by the "underground” route from Pinar del Rio that Dr. Zertucha not only betrayed Maceo into the hands of the Spaniards and dis- closed the location of the Cuban hospital, which sheltered Henry Delgado, The Mail and Express correspondent, but that he gave information of the fitting out of the Three Friends’ expedition, which so nar- rowly escaped destruction by a Spanish gunboat at the mouth of the San Juan river. Zertucha had the complete confidence of Maceo and was aware of the nature of all the correspondence that passed between the insurgent leader and the junta here. When Maceo received word as to the landing point for the expedition, he confided, .he news to Dr. Zertucha and others of his stafi. At the earliest opportunity the trai~ tor communicated this information to the Spaniards, and the. gunboat and launch were secretly dispatched to the rendezvous to lie in wait. There is no other possible way that the exact spot and time of landing could have been learned except through treachery in Maceo’s camp. The statement.- that the San Juan river was a favorite place for filibus- tering expeditions to land their cargoes is without foundation. No expedition had ever been landed at this particular point before. The two Spanish vessels would not have been waiting there concealed if they had not known what was coming. A Narrow Escape. It was the merest chance in the world that the Three Friends escaped. She came within a hairbreadth of being drawn in- to a trap, just as Maceo was, and by the same agency. The rage against Dr. Zertucha is grow- ing constantly since it has been learned that he pointed out to the enemy the caves used as shelters for the wounded and was responsible for their butchery. It was Zer- tucha who intercepted the mails and cut off the secret communications between the patriots and their friends in Havana for more than two weeks. This strange silence could not be accounted for at the time, but now that Zertucha. is no longer in the in- surgent camp communication has been re- sumed, it is understood. Macao’s betrayer is still in concealment and is fully aware of the peril in which he stands should he be discovered. Life Imprisonment For an American. HAVANA, Dec. 29.—-Julio Sanguilly, the American citizen who was arrested in 1895, charged with conspiring against the government, who was sentenced by court martial to life imprisonment, appealed and obtained a civil trial, which has been going on for some time past, was formally sen- tenced today to imprisonment for life, to pay half the expenses-of the trial and was subsequently declared insolvent. Captain General Weyler since Saturday last has been camped two miles from Los Palacios, province of Pinar del Bio. The insurgents have dynamited and de- railed a military train near Esperanza, province of Santa Clara. Later they at: tacked the train, but were repulsed by its escort,-leaving two men killed, an ofi'icer and a private, on the field and carrying away one dead body and four wounded men. . The report of the death of the titled in- surgent General Juan Ruz is confirmed. His remainswere buried at Ruiz del J Obo. The military governor of. Guanabacea, near this city, has issued a decree prohibit~ ing,persons from leaving that town except by the highways of Regla, Luyano, Corral False and Cojimer. Bearers of provisions, etc., must declare before leaving town the quantity in their possession and its des- tination. This step was taken to prevent the smuggling of provisions to the insur- gents. A Slight Repulse Reported. During the right of Wednesday last, Dec. 23, a number of insurgents tried to cross the mi'o'tary line of Puerto Principe, which extends between J ucaro, on the south coast, to Moron, at the extremity of the railroad, in the north. The attempt was made between fort NO. 55 and fort No. 56 of that line of defenses, but the troops made a stubborn resistance and finally obliged the enemy to retire. Subse- quent reconnoissance upon the part of the garrisons resulted in finding a quantity of provisions, saddles and effects on the field, in addition to 30 hats, 10 of which were .pierced by bullets and blood stained. On Dec. 20, it was announced today, the insurgents dynamited a train on the rail- road between Jucarc and Moron, blowing up the engine, destroying several empty cars and injuring two firemen and a boy. The convoy of General Bosch, which left Manzanillo, province of Santiago de Cuba, on Dec. 13, was still detained at Veguita on Dec. 24. ARE THEY PIRATES? Participators In the Three Friends Expe- dition Said to Be Alarmed. JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 29. -A special to The Citizen from Tampa says: ' The develOpments in Cuban circles to- day have been startling, and the actors in the recent sea tragedy who were on board the Three Friends are badly frightened over the gravity of the situation in which they have been involved. They find them- selves, instead of being in a dangerous position as filibusters, to be in the unen- viable position of pirates, and thewisest Cuban heads have been summoned in (ion- sultation. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Scott Wike was at Key West in- vestigating the matter, but the absence of a district attorney at that place made de- tention a farce. ‘ Mr. Wike stopped at J acksbnville and censured the district attorney there for ' having no representative at Key West.

When the ‘Olivette arrived this afterr noon, Colonel Nunez, Carrillo and several other Cubans were on board. Captain O’Brien of the Three Friends also was a passenger. Colonel Nunez admitted that the story Of the engagement is true and appeared particularly proud. He had been custodian of all the recent expeditious. When they learned of Assistant Secretary Wike’s presence, the boasting changed to consternation as the light in which they were regarded dawned upon them. Nunez and the Cubans came to Tampa to consult with the leading Cubans. They left for Jacksonville, where they go to con- fer with the officers of the Three Friends. This admission of Colonel Nunez and the nondcnial of O’Brien are regarded as sub- stantiating the story of the fight. Other passengers besides Nunez confirm the story. It is also learned that the arms of . the lust cxrediticn fell into Spanish hands. Francis Lynda Stetson, President Cleve- land’s former 13.x" partner, was at Port Tampa today. ‘. Lin this was learned, it was said that he bail been sent as a special emissary to look into the case. This helped to increase the fright of the Cubans. The Three F ricnds left Key West for Jackson- ville. . The “'ashington View. WASHINGTON, Dec. 29. ——It is learned that when the alleged filibustering craft the Three Friends arrives at Jacksonville, whither she is bound in charge of a cus- toms officer, she will be libeled for viola- tion of the neutrality laws. An important point in connection with the case, it is said, will depend upon whether or not the Three Friends had a. gun mounted aboard her, the offense in this event being much graver than it otherwise would be and net at all dependent on whether or not the gun actually was fired. At the Spanish legation no news has been received concerning the Three Friends, and nothing is known beyond press reports concerning the alleged fight with Spansih vessels. Statements at London and Berlin. LONDON, Dec. 29.-—-The foreign office informs the press that no communications to any power regarding Cuba and the United States have been made by Great Britain, and that no representations, di- rectly or indirectly, have been made on the subject to the United States by Great Brit— ain. If any other powers have done so, the foreign office here is not aware of the fact. BERLIN, Dec. 29.-—A representative here of the press is informed that not only has Germany not made representations to Washington regarding Cuba, as stated in a dispatch to The Times from Paris on Saturday last, but Germany has not been approached on this subject by any other power in any way whatever. OHIOAGO’S ATLAS BANK. Its Doors Not Opened, Liquidation Hav- ing Been Announced. CHICAGO, Dec. 29.—The Atlas National . bank, which has decided to wind up its afi'airs on account, as officially stated, of the failing health of its president. C I). Grannis, did not open its doors today. The knowledge that all depositors would be paid on demand, the clearing house, after an examination, having decided to ad- vance sufficient funds for this purpose without awaiting realization in the assets of the bank, prevented any excitement in business circles as a result of the suspen- smn. _ The bank which went out of business was involved in the failure of the Meadow- croft Bros. The Central Trust and Sav- ings bank, which assigned a year ago, cleared through the Atlas. The coil teral which the defunct bank had on deposit to- secure its clearance was said to be ample, hoWever, and at the time Mr. Grannis made the statement that the. Atlas Na- tional bank would not lose through the failure. W. A. Paulsen, who was president of the Central Trust and Savings bank, recently brought suit for $250,000 against the Atlas National bank, W. C. D. Grannis and Charles B. Farwell. The suit is based upon the trouble which Mr. Paulsen had with the bank at the time of the failure of the Central Trust and Savings concern. Mr. Paulsen alleged that, although his bank had deposited in the Atlas National bank collateral sufficient to cover all claims against it, clearing facilities were refused, and the bank was forced to assign. The Dallas Trust Company Failure. DALLA 5, Dec. 29.—The failure of the Sc- curity Mortgage and Trust company has created much discussion in business circles in this city. Many business men had long expected trouble for the concern, but the public generally was surprised at the fail‘ ure. The opinion is general that local losses will be comparatively insignificant, but eastern and foreign capitalists will lose fully 81,500,000 on their investments and ventures. “‘ . The exact figures on liabilities and as- sets were given out as follows: Liabilities, $1,296,225; interest, 825,000; quit sale mortgages, $659,000; interest, ' $10,000; taxes, $17,000; liabilities on stock, $500,- 000; cash and mortgages, $1,500,000; in subcompanies, $114,000; bonds in various corporations, $50,000; mortgages sold, not collected, $650,600; total assets, $2,314,000. The subcompanies are the Trust Company Building association, the Texas Farm Land company, the Security Investment company and the, Cotton Mills Building association. J The Bank of Minnesota. ST.
