<From the staff correspondent of the
United Press)—Santiago De Cuba, May
4.—Spain Is throwing troops into the
province ot Santiago st the rate or
Go or three thousand a week, but the
insurrection is growing apace. For
Brx weeks following the r. sing ot February 24. little progress was made hy
the dare devil patriots wno took to the
woods in squads of from a dozen to a
score, and wbo lacked arms, ammunition and intelligent leadership. Few
of the whites who went out remained
when they found themselves associated with bandits and shiftless blacks
with mulatto leaders. The government
troops and civil guards suppressed incipient risings in Matanas, Puerto
Principe and near Havana, and the
better class of Cubans all over the
island belittled the movement and said
the time was not ripe for another war.
In tlie eastern district alone did the
men remain in the field and defy the
mother country, but their numbers
grew less instead of greater, and even
their strongest supporters shook their
heads and said that Cuba would never
be free. ' "Within ten days the situation
has completely changed and in Cuban
circles where there was no hope ab-j
solute confidence of ultimate success
how prevails. The two Maceos, Antonio
and Jose, after terrible hardships in
the mountains and many narrow escapes from Spanish bullets have
.-cached the place from which the insurgent operations are to be conducted
and havo been j«|niad hj*\ Maxim J
Gomez and Jose Marti who eluded
men-of-war on the sea and troops on
land.
With these leaders at the front there
has been a rapid growth in all the insurgents bands in this province and
the. concentration of forces in the vicinity of Jarahuasa this week shows
that Maceo has 3,000 men with him
and there are nearly 2,000 others under ' arms in other parts of the province. After a conference with his
'chiefs at Jarahuasa in the mountains
20 miles northeast of Songo, Maceo
moved westward, camping one night
at the Hioempo plantation and passing
on toward Santa Anna where he now
is with-a force variously estimated at
from 2,000 to 4,000.
"General Campos has been expected
here for three days. The cutting of
telegraph lines inland leaves all of the
jior.ii coast cities outside of eomunlca-
tion and the government is now talking of laying a cable around the island. There are ten cases of yellow
fever In the hospital here. The patients
are all soldiers. About three die every
week now from the fever. At Guan-
tonamo the hospital Is full of soldiers.
Most of them have an intermittent
fever. Exposure to the night air and
rain in the interior brings it on.
GREAT INSURGENT VICTOR7.
. .'acksonvllle, Fla., May 12.—A s;» _<*ial

vli** s received heie fiom the Cuoa.t revolutionary leaders say a big battle was
fought at Eorvey, Province of Puerto
Principe, between Gomez, the Cuban
leader and Salcedo, the Spanish commander. Gomes was victorious, annihilating the Spanish troops killing and

hours and was hard fought. Men from
the plantations are joining the insurgents hourly and all work in the outlying provinces is at a standstill. The
Cuban patriots here are jubilant over

leaders here that upwards of 100 carrier
pigeons will be used by filibustering expeditions. A battle was fought by Gomez and Santocllles on the 8th inst.Thc

Pittsburg, May 12.—The Times tomorrow will print despatches from all points
in Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, ■
and West Virginia, on the business sit- ]

effects. Old works that have been operating two years or more are resum-
ling; plants that have been operating on
part time . have increased working
forces, and numerous mills have advanced the price of labor.
In the vicinity of Pittsburg alone over
10,000 workmen received an advance ln

Eastern Lonjruo.
By United press Special Wire.
Scranton, May 12.— As a result of the
strike of the 68 employee of the Lackawanna Valley Rapid Transit Company*
in   Carbondale  yesterday  there  were
exciting scenes between Carbondale and
Mayfleld      about     amile     from      the
Carbondale     city      line     this     afternoon.       The    strike    arose     through!
the discharge of four men and President Aitken stated that the company],
would never waive its rights in the case
and would absolutely refuse to take anya
advice from ite employes as to the man- ji
ner in which it* transacts its business- [j
During yesterday afternoon and early fl
this morning enough men were secured i
to operate-six cars whicii were running-3
until after noon today.   The line   extends from Carbondale to Peckvllle, a
distance of about six miles.
The Buffalo Bill Wild West show was!
pitching its tents one mile form  the!
Carbondale city line this afternoon and]
the sympathizers of the  strikers used
the crowd that collected to watch the
putting up of the tents as a mask for
their small-sized riot that occurred at
3 o'clock   this   afternoon.   The  rioting!
wae done mostly by a crowd of men, |
women and children, their exact number
not being known.   They heaped ties, old
rails and logs upon the street car track,
spiked the switches eo that they could .
not be operated, and held up the only j
trolley  car  crew  that  got Into   their ■
clutches.   No  violence  was  offered   to
this crew but they heard many threats;
made and reported to President Aitken I
upon  their return to Carbondalo that
several   of  the strikers   threatened  to !i
blow up their car with dynamite.
President Aitken at once sent a mes- [
sage to Sheriff Clemons In this city appealing for help but this af term ion was
too  far advanced for anything to bell
done today.   So the street car company jl
decided not to risk an encounter with
the men today and sent its cars into the
I barn. ' Sheriff Clemons will take a posse
| to Carbondale early tomorrow morning.
j Mr. Aitken says he will run the road _
without the old men if it requires all the'
[legal force in the state to do it. He!
says 40 men, sufficient to operate the 16
cars of the company, have applied to,
him for work. The men deny having _
had anything to do with the riot this.
afternoon.

THE GARRETT AUTOPSY*
Drs. Zimmerman aud Milieu* Make n
Statement to the Pnblle.
Dr. J. D. Zimmerman and Dr. Chas.
L. Miller have had published in our
evening contemporary statements in
relation to the autopsy held on Charles
G. Garrett who was executed on Tuesday, ln reply to the article published in
the Report of last Wednesday. Dr.
Zimmerman sent to the Report an article addressed to the public, but not
having had his signature attached, waa
requested to do so. but the signature
was not forthcoming.
The Report received its information
from the same source that the News
did, and so far as the report of it was
concern ed the News said "The concurrent opinion of the physicians was that
he did not possess the power of self-
control entirely altho he may have had
such powers, and therefore was not
wholly responsible for all his actions,
ond that "the parts in whtch the seal of
intcllip-t•*,(■.» is located were not well developed faculties,were weak or undeveloped, the animal part of the brain was
fully up to or above the average." The
Report said "that that part furnishing
the intelligence was very poorly developed while the animal matter which
furnished the physical strength to the
body was very Wil de^lnp<-rl Tt — -.*
the judgment ot all the physicians present that Garrett was no>. i-uispuiis'AMe ..or
all his acts."
Will Dr. Zimmerman explain where
pie Report misrepresented the facts and
where the News did not? It seems as If
pr. Zimmerman feels of the necessity to
bake an explanation what appeared in
the Report, and that that contained ln
the News was off no consequence. That
is hardly fair to the News but the doc-
tor plainly so puts it.
I Dr. MUler declares that Drs. Zimmerman, Dr. Beckley and himself made the
|autopsy. But at whose Invitation that
|they were present and under whose direction he falls to state. It is true it
was so made and as Dr. Zimmerman remarked "with a saw with which I saw
|my ham." The Report wae of course
not represented, nor any other newspaper, but it has all the information at
[hand to show that there is no misrepresentation published by the Report,
and that the opinion was expressed as
to undevelopment of the frontal Idbes,
and thatDr. Beckley says they were not
■ply developed. We again say that no
dissent was made when the opinion was
expressed that the seat of intelligence
[was not fully developed and that he was
■ot responsible for all his acts.

AFTERNOON  SESSION.
Court re-convened at 2 p. m. It Is admitted that the pastor of the church,
since about the year 1827, was appointed
| by the bishop and presiding elders of
the East Pennsylvania Conference of
the Evangelical Association.
Rev. J. K. Fehr—I am connected with
the East Pennsylvania Association since
1S91. I know where the church ls located. I was appointed by the Allentown conference as pastor in 1894. I
was not allowed to preach in the church.
We preached in private houses, I was
refused tbe keys between the 1st and
_0th of October. When I came here
there were about twelve who adhered
to the Evangelical Association; there
were several old people, Levi Light,
Mrs. Treehon, who Is nearly 80 years
of age. She became a member at 25
years of age; do not know how long
Levi Light is a member. I received
into the church seven new members under the discipline. Some of them were
members of the Emanual church. We
held a coiitfiega tional meeting, and X presided as preacher. We elected as trustees Levi Light, George Werner,William
Felker, Galen S. Hoover. The discipline of the Evangelical Association
allows us to elect trustees from other
classes, societies or church; had elected
trustees, a class leader and an exhorter;
we met at private houses.
Cross-examined by Mr, Woomer—I
was appointed pastor of Emanuel church
in March,'1894.
Re-direct by Mr. Esher—My predecessor was Rev. A. Kindt.
Cross-examined by Mr. Woomer—Rev.
A. Kindt was appointed pastor in 1891.
Rev. Kindt was appointed for the Lebanon churches and Annville circuit,Conewago, Palmyra, East Hanover. I was
appointed to the two churches in Lebanon and Myerstown circuit, Kutztown,
Kleinfeltersville, Shaefferstown* Newmanstown in March, 1894. I was pastor
of all these churches for the keys of
which I was the lawful .pastor except
Kutztown. I had six members of tbe
church admitted under the discipline by
service or certificate and the first time
under general rules.
Re-direct by Mr. Esher—I was not allowed to preach in any of these churches. It is not in accordance witli the
laws of the State for women to vote. I
could not just now repeat what the discipline says of women voting.
Cross-examined by Mr. Woomer—
Fredericksburg was under the same
charge.
Levi Light—I am a member of Emanuel Church, Evangelical Association,
for three years. My father and mother
were members ever since I can remember, some 60 years ago. They are buried on the burial ground back of the
church. My father was a local preacher of the Evangelical Association and a
member of this church. I was there
when the church was erected In 1851.
Tho first church was burned down. I
was a trustee of the church, there was a
quarterly conference held there hy Presiding elder, and no one preached there
except by appointment of theEastPenn-
sylvania Conference of the Evangelical
Association. I knew Bishop Long;both
officiated in this churoh. I never knew
of the general conference;met JohnGer-
hard; he ls dead, contributed $500, and
•was a member of the Evangelical Association. I am one of the plaintiffs; I
knew tbere was a test case pending
ln the Supreme Court; nothing was ever rejected a pastor sent by the conference; I was present at the congregational meeting In October, 1804, part of the
time, when resolutions were adopted. I
could not tell what they were. Mr.
Esher here submitted the Report and
News In which the resolutions were
published tn evidence.
Witness—I did not vote on the resolutions. I was not there ln 1891 when Rev.
Hell spoke.
Presiding Elder Wieand re-called—X
was at the church and I noticed the inscription "The Emanuel Church of the
Evangelical Association."
YEAKEL'S TESTIMONY.
Rev. Reuben Yeakel—I am a member
of the Evangelical Association since
1836. I reside in Ohio. I was born in
Montgomery. Pa. I have been corresponding secretary of the missionary societies, then auditor, bishop, principal
of tfae theological school,editor.co-editor
and historian.I was bishop eight years.
I know of the church, and as historian I
.know of its history. I was appointed
! by the bishop of the conference as hls-
: torian. I had access to the records of
I the church. This is the original conference book rom 1800 to 1859. This church
was organized in 1830 or In that neighborhood. It was organized by John
j Seibert, then presiding elder, EastPenn-
j sylvania Conference. He became bishop afterwiirds.This conference contains
j a record of preachers stationed to this
churoh in 1829. It states Henry Kna bland William W. Orwig were appointed
to Lebanon circuit. The same W. W.
I Orwig, who Was afterwards electedbish-
op. The reoord states that the members
of the Eastern Conference met in the
meeting house tn Lebanon.' The general conference of the Evangelical Association met in this-church ln 1885 and
the Eastern Conference met in this
[church after I left, some five years afterward. (History of the Evangelical
Association by W. W. Orwig shown
witness.) This was Bishop Orwig, now
dead. He was appointed by Western
Conference and was considered authority until recently.! have found no inaccuracies In the history as to this church.
It Is authentic. I was a member of the
Evangelical Association when I was
pastor and was before. It was never
questioned. The first Sabbath school
was established in this church; can't tell
how long ago. I know Henry Bishop
very well; I think he was a class leader
of the church and became a licensed
[preacher; can't tell how long he was a
member. I know Henry Fisher and
Henry Bowman very well. Tliey were
mmh ers of that church; Henry Bowman was the class leader when I was
pastor. I* know Abraham Light very
well; he was a member of the church.
His father was a Menonlte, but whether
he joined the Evangelical church I don't
know. The Abraham Light I knew was
a member and class leader. I know
Gacol Thomas. They were members of
at the formation. I know some of these
people you name as being members; I
remember the Inscription In the front of
the church. It was there when I came
in 1656. It read Emanuel Church of the
Evangelical Association and I read it
every day.Henry Knoble was a preacher and often a presiding elder and one
of the earliest preachers, a leading man.
I am familiar with the trust clause In
relation to churches. It was placed
there in isi!7 by general conference, and
in 1887 female members had the right to
vote. To become a member of a church
he must be a member of the Evangelical Association. The present congrega-
i tion was part of the Lebanon circuit. A
circuit means a certain territory In
which one or two preachers are pas-
1 tors. A station Is one church and one
pastor and that pastor is stationed by
conference. The members of this town
were designated as a station and made
eo by general conference. The missionary society or board of missions met in
annual session in this cburch in 1861.
I was the secretary I recollect I received 30 one Sunday morning and some
afterwards under the discipline of the
church. One of the distinguishing features ls the itinerant system. It means
the ministers, the bishop and the fields
of labor; the members have no rights at
all in the stationing- of a pastor except
the right of petition. The form of government is what ls called connected or
associate.
CROSS-EXAMINED BY MR. WOOMER.
Cross-examined by Mr. Woomer—I
know what discipline in 1817 was in
force up to 1830; then it was revised. In
discipline of 1117 there was no express
power granted to the general conference ;under 1817 discipline all the preachers and elders in full standing were
members of the general conference.The
stewards had the right to attend annual
conference. There were Joint sessions
held in 1820 and 1830, but the records do
not state whether they were tbe same
members. I came to Lebanon in 1858,
it was then a station since 1840 or 1841.
The church has not since then been
joined to any other station. John Seibert was one of our earlier preachers,
presiding elder and bishop. I do not
altogther coincide with Bishop Orwig
when he states Bisbop Seibert was the
first bishop. The flrst bishop was Albright in 1807. Father John Dreisbach,
a historian, says it was a general conference held ln 1826. It was described
as a joint conference of general and annual conferences. The opening of the
1826 conference in New Berlin, Union
county, refers to an "annual" conference. I don't remember of any reference to a general conference. In 1827
the heading of the conference atOrwigs-
burg, Schuylkill county, refers to an
"annual" conference and also our "general" conference met there.
Rev. S. C. Breyfogle is at present
■bishop of the Evangelical Association.
His work on the history of the Evangelical Association is not very
authentic. Bishop Orwig does not consider the 1827 was not a general conference. The first general conference
was In lal6. When there was a coalition with part of the U. B. Church.
To some extent all the work of the
general and annual conferences are in
question. It was the true Evangelical
Association beforo and was perfected
in 1839, since which time nine Bishops
have been regularly elected. The
authority of the Bishops and powers
of the General Conference are not the
main points of the differences between
the Evangelical Association and the
United Evangelical Church.
Re-direct by Esher—The first conference was held in 1807. Jacob Albright
was appointed to complete a discipline
and after his death George Miller was
appointed and completed it in 1809. In
the conference in 1816 there is a resolution that the discipline was examined,
held to be proper, and was not to be
printed until the Social Conference was
held,and if no union is consummated it
was to be printed. The Social Conference was a movement to have ja
union with the IT. B. Church.which was
not consumm ated. The di sell pine was
then printed in 1809. There was a joint
session conference in 1820 and 1826; /a
general conference in 1830, 1835, 1836
and 1839. In- 1839 the general conference was given unlimited powers. Orwig got Dreisbach's manuscripts and
as a historian be made these notes. I
had a conversation with Orwig about
it and he handed me the manuscripts
and I saw the date there. The marginal reference to the conference of
1826 made by Orwig " John Dries bach
says this was not a general conference
—\V. W. Orwig." In 1827, "This was
not properly a general conference—W.
W. Orwig." In fixing the number of
general conferences of the Evangelical
Association those of 1826 and 1827 are
included as general conferences. The
conference of 1827 established the
western conference and there were two
{conferences, East and West. The first
i in 1807 adopted the preachers' license
i and adopted the "New Reformed
j Methodist Conference," but It was
I dropped. Before that it was called
"The Albright People." In 1816 the
i general conference gave its present
i name.
. HISTORY  IN EVIDENCE.
j The history of the Evangelical Conference by W. W. Orwig was admitted
in evidence so far as certain points in
it were concerned, subject to such ob-
l jectlons  as   may  be made by  defen-
'. dan Is. The resolutions passed by the
congregation at a meeting held September 6, 1894, by the members now
represented as defendants and attached
to the affidavit of George Werner were
adopted: were admitted to be correct
by Mr. Woomer.
i It was admitted that the old church
erected in 1830 was destroyed by fire
In 1850 and the present one erected in
1851 and that the old reoords were de-
j stroyed.
I The plaintiffs offered in evidence the
record showing the names of the original members;  also the record showing
j the names of members  from  time to
; time admitted to membership in accor-
j dance with the discipline.
|    Rev. W. L. Leopold—I am a member
j of the Evangelical Association; was
admitted   in   1867.     I   am   acquainted
j somewhat with Emanual Church. From
1856 to 1890—nearly all the meetings
opened "The Evangelical Association
met." On December 29, 1863, tbey asked for a German and English preacher
I for  the  welfare  of  the   church.    The
{ heading reads "The members of the
Evangelical Association." From 1856
to 1891 headings read "Emanuel's
Church     of     Lebanon,"     "Emanuel's
I Church   of   the   Evangelical   Associa
tion" and "Emanuel's Church."
Cross-examined    by    Mr.    Woomer—
; The proceedings of the quarterly conference of June 7, 1890 met  a aoording
'' to  discipline;  asks  the  supervision  of
1 Bishops Esher  and   Bowman  in  1891/
' also the resolution passed at quarterly
conference in '91 to support the pastoi
i of the regular conference and not that
of the peeudo conference rumored  to
. be organized by Bishop Esher.
Rev. J. K. Knerr was called by plaintiffs—I at one time was a member of
! the Evangelical Church.   I was a pas-
' tor of the Chestnut Street Evangelical
' Church.   Rev. C. H. Egge, Rev. B. J.
j Smoyer,  and    Jacob    Parthemore are
members of the Evangelical Chestnut
' Street Church.    As we understood it,
I were members of the Chestnut Street
Church;   the pastor was appointed by
j the so-called Evangelical Association j
' was a member of theEastPenneyl^NOla
• Conference.    These  members,   in   my
I opinion,  vwero   no't   members   of   the
Evangelical Assoolation, but members
of the Chestnut Street Chureh.   While
I was pastor I received a large number of members Into said church.    Dr.
I C.  B. Wagner was a delegate to tbe
{last   general   conference.   It   does  not
unite us with the conference.   It does
j not  unite  us with the United Evan*
I gel ical ehurch. Rev. Smoyer, presiding elder, is acting editor of the
church paper. We do not adhere to
the   Indianapolis  .generaH   conference.
II think Rev. Egge doee not adhere to
that   conference.
Cross<-examlned by Mr. Woomer-—
Rev. Egge now holds his pastorship
by permission of our church, under
the resolutions passed at the congregational meeting. Dr. Wagner wa4
sent as a delegate to general conference. United Evangelical Church, by
the Reading Convention, and was not
sent by our church. We are an independent ohuroh.
THE   DEFENCE.
Rev. C. R. Egge—There are 360 members of the Chestnut Street Church, ef
I which I am pastor. Six members of
the church adhere to the plaintiffs,
j Levi Light, George Werner and wife,
Solomon Smith and wife and Leah ■
Frcehon. The meeting In October was
announced In the papers. There were
no dissenting votes at the meeting to
the resolutions; there was a good sized
audienoe. People would be scattered,
and would not know what to do, could
not give announcement in the papers
unless by giving around the papers.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sherk—We
made arrangements last falll with the
trustees of the P. O. S. of A. ball, but
the members would not know. There
have been 33 members admitted by me
since I am here, one year.
Mr. Woomer—All the evidence we
would bave called would have been
ih corroboration of what has already
been enough before the Court.
Mr. Woomer offered tn evidence the
discipline of the Evangelical Association of 1807.
Mr. Shirk stated he would suggest
by reason of the importance of the
matter at issue, that'the argument be
continued, and that the Rev. Butler be
permitted to occupy the pulpit on Sunday, morning or evening and that
Rev. Egge be permitted to fill the pulpit morning or evening on Sunday.
Mr. Woomer—The proposition of Mr.
Shirk ls one we cannot concede to under the circumstances, and is an evidence of weakness.
Judge Ehrgood—Then go on with the
argument.
Mr. Shirk then opened the argument
for the plaintiffs at 4.35 p. m. ant?
contended that they were entitled Lc
the rightful possession under the decision of tbe Supreme Court. He closed
at 6.30 o'clock. Before adjournment
Mr. Shirk renewed his offer of compromise that eaoh party be entitled to
worship In the church on Sunday, and
lt was rejected by plaintiffs.
Adjourned to 7.80 p. m.
EVENING SESSION.
George B. Woomer, esq., counsel for
defendants, then addressed the Court
for an hour and fully covered the entire history of the Evangelical Association, from its organisation, also the
history of the church in question and
cited cases to show that the plaintiffs
were not entitled to possession of the
church.
E. B. Esher, esq., of Chicago, son of
Bishop Esher, closed the argument for
plaintiffs-and closed at 9.30 O'clock. He
admitted that tbe title of the Chestnut
Street Churoh was in the congregation
but tbat so long as a member of Jbt
adhered to the Evangelical Association they were entitled to worship
there.
At 9.80 Judge Ehrgood took the papers and announced tbat at about 11
o'clock he would make some disposition- of tbe case as to the rights of
the parties to worship tbere on Sunday.
The evening session was attended
by prominent ladies of the church and
quite a number of its members. At
tbe close of tho argument the members dispersed but before 11 o'clock
fully 30 ot them assembled in front
of the Court House to await the decision. ,
Judge Ehrgood arrived there shortly
before midnight and states tbat it was
an impossibility to finish writing hie
decision before Sunday, and in consultation with counsel in the Recorder's office, he announced that the
defendants could worship in the church
on Sunday and that the plaintiffs could
not disturb them and that he would
file his decision onMonday or Tuesday.
