EXPEDITIONS WITH ARMS
\Vith or Without Bellig‘erent Rights
the Cubans Claim They \Vill Be
Free by March—What an Officer of
the Insurgent Army Says.
St. Louis, Oct. 20.—Three Cuban pa-
,‘lriots direct from the island have been
in St. Louis the last fourteen days pro-
curing and shipping ammunition for
' their compatriots. Their work is at last
' completed and they leave to-day for
Cuba.
One of them is authority for the
statement that during their stay they
have purchased and forwarded to a.
Texas port $225,000 worth of cart-
ridges, dynamite, rifles, pistols and
saddlery intended for the insurgent
army. Two expeditions conveying these
supplies sailed last night from a Texas
port between the city of Bagdad and
Port Galveston, 'and in the Caribbean
Sea will meet 'two, other expeditions
that Sunday night set sail from New
York.
The Cuban agents are Col. George
Johnson, of the staff of Gen. Roloff;
Col. Eduard Betancourt and Capt. H.
A. Smith. During their stay in St.
Louis they have~ stopped at private
houses. Col. Johnston said:
“I left Santiago de Cuba the latter
part of September. Our mission has
been to buy supplies for the Depart-
ment of the East. Owing‘ to the quar-
antine we could do nothing at Key
West, and came to St. Louis. We have
accomplished our mission here by the
purchase of $225,000 worth of ammuni-
tion and the like."
Col. Johnston. continued on the sub-
ject of Cuba:
“Autonomy‘lfiNo! Nothing but abso-
lute freedom. We have 60,000 men un-
der arms in Cuba. Virtually the whole
Island, except Havana, Matanzas and
Cienfugos is in our hands. We could
take Havana by means of dynamite,
but we would have to notify the for-
eign Consuls, who, of course, would
. notify the enemy, else we should blow
up our friends.”
“At a meeting of representatives of
the whole army of the East and West
as late as Oct. 4, at Holquin, at which
[ was present, and which has not yet
been mentioned in the papers, it was
reiterated that Cuba. would accept
nothing but absolute freedom. It is a
waste of time for the United States to
deal with Spain relative to granting
autonomy or anything else short of ab-
solute freedom. What we want of the
United States is the granting of bellig-
erent rights. With that, in less than
seventy-two hours we would have out
of the various ports of the. United
States forty-two vessels flying the Cu-
ban flag.
“Before the American Congress
meets again there will be events that
we hope will compel Congress to recog-
nize us. We have been on the defen-
sive heretofore. Now we are on the of-
fnsive. We begin to retaliate. The
armies of the East and West are about
to consolidate. They will shortly at—
tack Matanzas. Possibly Havana will
be assailed. We are about to show
Congress that we mean business, if we
have not shown it heretofore.
“With belligerent rights the island
will be free before Dec. 31 of this year.
Without recognition we shall still be
free before March of next year.”
SHAW GAINS SYMPATHY.
‘ Alleged Camden Murderer’s Counsel
Ejeeted front Private Hearing.
Camden, N. J., Oct. 20.——Public feel-
lng in the case of Eli Shaw, who is
suspected of murdering has mother
. and his grandmother in order to ob-
tain an inheritance that would tend to
, hasten his marriage to Mabel Neilson,
ls veering towards the young man ,to-
day. -
An incident in which the young
man’s attorney, Harry S. Scovel, fig-
ured has played an important part in
bringing about this result. Scovel was
forcibly ejected from Mayor Westcott’s
office by a. policeman. and fiVe of
Shaw’s friends were held in $1,000 bail
each to appear for the State at the‘
trial.
This action was taken because the
young men, acting under the lawyer‘s
advice, refused to answer questions at
a private hearing.
Attorney Scovel was told to get out,
that. he wasn't wanted and had no
business there. He refused to go and
fought to remain until policemen were
called in, and Scovel was finally
ejected. '

Our‘ Readers Are Face to
f Face With an Unavoid-
able Question.
When the great Hume, the free-
thinker, was. asked by a lady of 'Bath,
Eng” whom would he depend upon the
more, servants who conscientiously be-
lieved in the truths of eternal revela-
tion, or those who professed to hold
his own opinions, he frankly answered
the former.
When are readers are asked whose
statements can be depended upon the
more, scores of our citizens or one or
two desultory selections picked at hap-
hazard from our broad Republic, the
answer must frankly be, Norwalk
people every tlme. The only state-
ments that appear at the foot of any
proprietary medicine advertisements in
N orwalk papers, obtained from a pure-
ly local source, are these appended to
the reading notices published by Doan’s
Kidney Pills. The inference is too ap-
parent to waste time mentioning it.
Read this:
Mrs. Alex. C. McLean, who lives at
No. 18 Maple street, is well known to
Norwalk people, being the wife of the
popular manager of a big New YOI‘I

sufferer for two years and a. half, was
under treatment with a. Brooklyn
specialist who claimed she had chronic
Bright’s Disease. She got Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills at Glendening’s drug store
and began taking them. Mrs. McLean
says: “I do not care to go into the de-
tails of my case. Doan’s Kidney Pills

Chinese Inspector Did Not Resign
from the Service.
HE CHARGED CORRUPTION
High-Handed Methods Led to His
Formal Discharge—Failed to Sub-
stnntlute the Charges Regarding
Alleged Corrupt Practices.
Washington. Oct. 20,—Chinese Inspec-
tor J. Thomas Scharf was not permit-
ted to resign his office, but was dis—
missed. Upon the recommendation of
the District Attorney at New York, un-
der whose direction Mr. Scharf was
performing his duties, he was notified
on the lst instant that his services
would not be required after the 15th.
On the 6th he wrote a letter to Sec-
retary Gage, protesting against re-
moval, and asserting that he had been
hampered in his work by antagonistic
railroad influences, which were re-
sponsible for the corruption mentioned
by him. If the department was deter—
mined to dispense with his services he
asked permission to resign.
“Ever since I have been here,” he
"I have been antagonized by
the’ Canadian Pacific Railroad influ-
ence, the smugglers, and their agents
and attorneys, because they could
neither purchase nor influence me to
work at their illegal transactions. The
leading officers of the above company
have several times threatened to have
me dismissed from the service unless I
passed into that country the Chinese
'which their officers had smuggled into
this country. The officers of this com—
pany and others in their employ are
largely engaged in smuggling Chinese,
and they have corrupted the service in
doing this. Officers who are now in
their pay are kept in service, and those
who have informed on them have been
summarily dismissed. I could startle
you with facts about the doings of
these men, ‘-not only near the border,
but right under your own nose."
In response to this a letter was sent
telling Mr. Scharf that it was his duty
to inform the department of any cor-
rupt practices of which he had knowl-
edge; that no influence, except the rec-
ommendation of the District Attorney,
was responsible for his removal, and
that an application to be permitted to
resign would be received. Without the
slightest reference to anything con-
tained in this letter of the 6th instant,
and totally ignoring the suggestion of
the Secretary that he present any facts
in his possession regarding alleged cor-
rupt practices, on the 11th instant
Scharf formally tendered his resign 1-
tion, prefacing it with the statement
that he had made arrangements to en-
ter upon the practice of the law. _
“At the same time,” said Mr. How-
ell, “he advised the newspapers of the
fact, and claimed that he voluntarily
severed his connection with the Gov—
ernment service because of his inabil-
ity to secure a. proper enforcement of
the laws. In view of this action on his
part‘the Secretary of the Treasury de-
cided to give no attention to the re-
quest that the inspector be allowed to
resign, and the letter of dismissal.
therefore, took effect on the 15th in-
stant.”
Spiritualists in Cenvention.
Oct. 20.—One hundred
and fifty men and women, members of
the Spiritualists’ Annual Association of
the United States and Canada, COHStir
tute the convention of that body which
began a. three days’ session here yes-
terday. In his annual report President
Barrett cited the National Anti-Spirit-
ualist Association as evidence of the
fact that opponents of spiritualism
were becoming alarmed at the increase
of interest in it. He recommended that
a. history of spiritualism frorn 1848 be
undertaken by the association, and
that the work be placed in the hands
of Lyman C. Low-e, of Fredonia, N. Y.
The association will put t'o mission-
aries in the field to counteract the
work of the anti-Spiritualist organiza-
tion.
How Rich Was Killed.
Pittsburg, Oct. 20.—The coroner's
jury in the case of Benjamin Rich,
halfback of the Tyrone football team,
killed in a. game on Saturday, has de-
cided that death was caused by inter-
nal hemorrhages of the brain, super-
induced by over-exertion and a fall
while tackling J. H. Miller and strik-
ing his head 'on the ground one stone.
Six players on both teams gave prac-
tically the same testimony that Rich
had tackled Miller, and that both had
fallen together, Rich underneath. The
game was free from slugging.
Fire Among Lunatlcs.
New York, Oct. 20.—-A fire which

uated in a branch of the women's sec-
tion of the State Hospital for the In-
sane on Ward's Island, necessitated
