said 8enor Enrique Trujillo. a prominent
Cuban leader in New York, "are in favor of ^
the selection of 8enor Tomas Estrada Pa'ma j
to occupy the place made vacant by the |
death of Jose Marti, and he will doubtless

' Tomas Estrada Palma, to be proclaimed
President of the Cuban republic by the insurgents,
lives In Pleasant Valley, N. Y.
There he directs a large seminary for the
education of wealthy Cubans. Senor Talma
was born in Bayamo, Cuba, in 1835. During
the last revolution he was constantly in the
field. His valor and natural ability to handle
soldiers attracted the attention of his countrymen
and he has been named for one office
after another until finally announcement Is
. ; made that he will be proclaimed President.
How Marti Was Killed.
News has been i#ceived of the manner in
which Marti met his death, it is saia tnat
Marti and a few friends were betrayed by a
guide. This guide informed a troop of infantry
where Marti was stopping. When the
detachment of infantry came up, Marti and
liis retainers were found asleep in hammocks.
While asleep they were riddled with bullets.
Mrs. Marti, now in New York City, admits
that she has no hope of ever seeing her husband
alive.

generally recognized that an attempt to

ive the effect to put the narty in a humiliaag
if not a contemptible position before
ie country. There were strong tactical reams
in favor of resignation instead of dlsilution.
The Tories will now be com
illed to govern the country for several
eeks before tho general election, 'inej
ust pursue a constructive anc
jfensive policy instead of one ol
responsible criticism. In fact they musl
.ce many of the embarassments which have
mtributed to popular ltikewarmness toard
the Rosebery administration. Nobodj
so foolish, however, even among the Liiral
leaders, as to pretend that there i?

heavier armament and being faster and more

however, that the San Francisco was the

Lillic .and Laura Moore, sisters, daughter;

Keener.
The two sisters, nineteen and seventeen,
started from their home in Tennessee Valley
to visit a neighbor, who lived a few miles
away. They drove past Keener's home going,
and Seymour saw them. He loaded two
pistols, took $200 which behad in the house, I
bade his little sistere sroodby and started off.
Half way between his own home and that
of the neighbor whom his cousins were visiting
Keener hid in some bushes by the moun- J
tain road.
Iu the course of an hour the young ladies
approached, returning to their home. Keener
rushed out upon them with both revolvers
' drawn. Laura, perceiving her sister's dan
ger, rushed between her and Keener. 8he
' pleaded for her sister's life, and throwing
her arms about Lillie's body, declared that
? she would die before Lillie should be
I harmed.
Keener tried to tear Laura away, but, fail- J
' ing in this, placed the muzzle of a pistol to
the brave girl's head and shot her dead. |
Then he turned hi3 weapons on Lillie and j
fired seven bullets into her body.
i The firing attracted the attention of per1
sons living near. They soon found the I
I bodies and pursuit was made. Keener was |
' soon overtaken, ills cartridges wore exhausted,
but he fought with a knife, and cut

orders to leave New York Harbor to enforce

negligence.

' AMERICAN MINERS KILLED.
Murdered by Mexican Indians While
Hunting for Gold.
News has just been received fromSonora,
Mexico, that eight Americans engaged ir
placer mining on the Yaqui River were attacked
and killed by Indians two weeks ago,
The men had been very successful in obtaining
gold, having just put in machlnerj
at a cost of $5000. It is probable the murder
was Incited by greei for gold, as th<
Americans had accumulated a large stook
according to the latest advices received from
them a month ago.
The miners evidently made a brave resistance,
as empty rifle3 were found lying bj
thetr bodies, while scores of shells were scattered
all about the spot.
The scene of the massacre is several hundred
miles in the interior, and cut off from
all lines of travel. The Information cam*
from a pack train driver, who was too ignor
ant to give particulars oeyonu mose uoro related.
