BURLINGTON, Nov. 16.—A* sensation has been sprung in the Krekel murder case, which as yet is only known to the police authorities. Henry Teuscher, aged 81, and his uncle, Henry Krekel, grandson and son respectively of Louis Krekel, the old man whose body was found in a well on his farm, west of the city, have been in jail since August 1 on sua picion of having connection with the old man's death. Teuscher had con­fessed that ho murdereij the old man and it was not thou, ^is unc?(

had anything to do "Jin it. It has leaked out that Teusc./er has made a full confession to the effect that he and his grandfather got into a row over money affairs,- that ho knocked the old man down, jumped oh him, breaking three ribs, and then cut bis throat. In doing this blood was smeared all over the room. Just then his uncle, Henry Krekel, came in, and, seeing the situation, helped his nephew load the body into a wagon and convey it to the old well in which it was found. The wagon was smeared with blood, and it took Krekel and Teuscher three days to get it and the house cleaned up.'- This confession implicates Krekel as nccessory after the deed, and if proven, means hang­ing for the boy and fifteen years in the penitentiary for his uncle.

SPANISH SCARED NOW.

The Capture of Guayamaro by the Insur­gent* WM a Notable Victory.

Passengers who have arrived at Key West from Havana bring intelli-ircncc that the capture of Guayamaro was of more importance than at first reported. When the news reached Havana it caused great excitement. It was only partially printed, but was wired to Madrid and made a sensation. It is said it so stirred the people that they forced the government to oblige Weyler to take the field. The steamer Julia which arrived from Havana Sun­day from Neuvitas reports no commun­ication with the city of Puerto Principe since the 2<th. Many bridges have been blown up, culverts burned aud about seven kilometers of railway track torn up. Great anxiety prevails in Neuvitas regarding the fate of Puerto Principe. The steamer brought letters detailing the attack on Guaya­maro. It appears that General Calixto Garcia, with a large rebel force and two picces of artillery, attacked the place. He captured the trenches and destroy­ed ten forts surrounding the town. The garrison, 150 soldiers and twenty armed citizens surrendered but were released. They were sent to Puerto l'rincipe under an escort. The citizens of the town were forced to aid the rebels in destroying the trenches, houses, etc. The church tower was blown up with dynamite. Much war material was captured. All stores were sacked, owners made prisoners and ransom asked.

K>OL8 TO BE NATIONAL.

Paraehtal Institution* are to Disappear la Manitoba.

WINNIPEG, Man., Nov. 16. —The or­gan of the Greenway government gives the terms of the parchial school ques­tion settlement as follows: "All schools are to be national, under pro­vincial control and subject to the same regulations and inspections. The same text books will be used, and all teachers will be properly qualified by pa&sinjjf the provincial cxannuft" tions and taking the prescribed nor­mal school course. School work of purely secular character will occupy the school day, except the last half hour,' when the representatives of any denomination will be allowed to come in and instruct the children belonging to their own denomination, provided the parents arc willing to have them remain. In cases where the people decide not to havs this religions in­struction, the regular school work will go on till the close, of the school hour." The principle of local option is recog­nized throughout. The proviso that is intended to make the schools satis­factory to the minority is that districts having an average attendance of twen­ty-five Roman Catholic children shall be entitled to have a teacher of their own denomination, who must be fully qualified, according to provincial or national school standards. In dis­tricts where the children speak French wholly, thev are to have a teacher speaking both French and English, so that they will learn English as rapidly as possible. The readers used in such schools will be bi-liugual, so that the children will grow up from the first accustomed to English.

Cuban Consul General Not Frightened at Spain.

WASHINUTON, Nov. 10.—Gen. Fitz-hugh Lee, consul general of the United States to Cuba, while not denying the possibility of war with Spain, has expressed the opinion that the reports that open rupture was imminent and that consequent preparations for trouble were beiug made by both countries, might be generally exag­gerated. He said he had no knowledge of immediate danger of hostility, although, of course, there is great feeling among some Spaniards against this country. They think that with­out filibustering and comfort from this country the rebellion might easily be suppressed. He said he had no infor­mation as to whether the Spanish were preparing for war, but they might be making *'vt\\%u''.'J*'ta''v

Pillsbury has sent 100,000 biscuit cutters to Iowa, to be giveu away by the grocers selling iiis flour during the next week. Thev are extensively advertising their flour in Iowa and are evidently intent upon •winning the trade. Their trade mark is "Pillsbury's Best Feeds the World." One would think them near y correct in the assertion when he stops to think that tney turn out 35,203 barrels of fiour every work­ing day in the year. , , „ . .

To these not familiar with the striking merits of this flour, it may be interesting to learn that the wheat for Pillsbury's Best is selected only by chemical analysis. JSot a hundredth part of the wheat grown in America is good enough for it. Ibo wheat with the most health giving nutriment is wed. 'Jbe rest is sold.

Filisbrry's Best is a high grade <nTur, made (r< m wheat grown in the tamous Ked B/ver Valley of North Dakota, and they claim it ninkes moro bread, better bread and whiter bread than any other flour.

Mr. A. Pillsbury makes the statement over his own signature that Pillsbury's Best gees one-fifth farther than any other flour willed. He therefore contends that it is cbenper for a housewife to use Pillsbury s Best than to use an inferior flour.
