The men under arrest are: Pedro Bel aucour, Edward Sauri, Guardo Laudo, Manuel Loyato, Antonio Ruiz. Edward Yeroj FredericoMontalvo, JoseR. Gomez, Frank Coilllo, Jasto Caveno, Pablo Este bn, GsradoM.

They are all from Philadelphia and New York, and were arrested under orders issued by the treasury department. J It has been suspected for several months that a Cuban filibustering party was at work in this city, and it has just been learned that they have headquarters at 717 Market street here, and that at least one, if not more, expeditions to Cuba have been dispatched from this city. On Most- ' day the United States authorities here were notified by Detective Gaylord, of the Pinkerton agency in Philadelphia, that another expedition was about to take it3 departure. Detective Gay lord and several , of his associates came the next day. United States Doputy Marshal Hewsen E. Lannen and several assistants, to- ' gether with the police authorities, have been keeping a close watch ever since, l'hey noticed a number of suspicious char acters loitering about the cigar store in ! th neighborhood of the headquarters of ths Junta, and discovered that one of ! these had'gone to the officeof the Charles Warner company ori Thursday and char tered the tug TauTustcx. carry freight; o . ,sywa kch una I UM y.''5'-, mm Are ycai taking Simmons Liver Reg ulator, the "King of Liver Medi cines?"

General Sarasti, who led the government forces, fled to the American legation and Salasar fled to the Peruvian legation. President Caro gives public assurance that Colonrbia is in a tranquil state, and late reports of an uprising are denied lEVlTOU MATTHEW STANLEY QUAY, try. He had his political enemies com pletely at his merer, but refrained from pushing his advantage at this time, al though one of the senator's lieutenants remarked, after the convention, that "he has a lot of people to punish who will oc cupy his attention the next two years." fa tto opinion of politicians Senator Quay's gPMr o Pwaaaylranla politioa is now atioag than It ever was before and too toTsa kJU opponents continue the war they have waged against him, it will require years to get their organisation in Hoh shape as to accomplish his political downfall. The convention, which started out with ts7 promise of being one of the most exeitonjr ever known in the state, de veloped Into a 'love feast' and wound up skbout as tamely a3 any ever seen here, lite confining, for purposes of safety, of the spectator tickets to 100 for each fac tion, while a nrudent move, robbed the proceedings of muoh of the usual accom paniment of noise. The first battle between the Tactions came on the eiection of a temporary chair man. The Quay candidate won by a ma jority of thirty, Congressman "Jack" Robinson bc'ng chosen. Senator Quay himself named Governor Hastings for permanent chairman, and the governor was unanimously elected. An incident of the day was the offering bv Senator Ouav of a resolution calling for the purification of politics and civil service in all branches of the public ser vice, which was afterwards embodied in tho platform. Because of the fear that the outside rabble might break in it was deemed un wise to open the doors of the hall after all entitled to admission were inside, and it was necessar" for the fifty platform mak ers to get in one corner and discuss their business. The anti- Quay minority, led by Congressman Dalzell, fought for a more definite expression in favor of sound money, and,being outvoted in committee, brought their fight to the conventipn floor and here carried their point without much opposition, Senator Quay accepting their plank as an addition to the one in his own platform. The resolutions were pre pared by men opposed to Governor Hast ings, and the matter of indorsing his ad ministration was very nearly overlooked, a thoughtful delegate offering the neces sary plank a few minutes before final ad journment. The day was the hottest of the season, and for more than four hours the dele gates, newspapermen and spectators were imprisoned in a sweltering atmosphere without food or drink. With a few ex ceptions, every man sat in his shirt sleeves, Senator Quay., being one of the first to set the example. The delegates who arrived early found over 125 men in the hall, guarding the entrances to prevent tough3 and heelers from taking possession of the premises. They had been there all night and showed evidences of their long vigil as they marched out of the hall shortly before the hour for convening. Although there was an outward indica tion of harmony and forgiveness, it is said that this extends only to Governor Hastings and his friends. Those on the platform observed that Senator Quay did not look at or speak to C. L. Magee, David Martin and . 'enator Porter, the men who have led the fight against him, and it is predicted tint the wounfds now tempor- ! arily healed will be reopened in a very short while. Penussrove.

All of this was seized and the party returned to Wil mington. None of the prisoners has been permitted to make any statement, and it ksnot thought that they will be until they are arraigned in court. Wilmington, Del., Sept. 2. The twenty Cubans, who were arrested on the charge of attempting to. send a filibustering expedi tion from this city to Cuba are now out on bail, each being held in bonds of $300 for the term of United States court which meets on Sept. 10, when they will face a jury- . Another Seizure of Arms. Washington, Aug, 31. The treasury department has received a telegram from Collector of Customs Cottrell, at ! Cedar Ksys, Fla., saying that -at the instigation of the Spanish consul at Tampa he had seized, at a point twenty miles from Cedar Keys, 150 Remington rifles, a quan tity of cartridges and elaven kegs of pow der, which wre to have been shipped to Cuba. ' IN AN INSANE ASYLUM." London's Famous "Jack, the Kipper Safe In Con3.n metit, New .Tore. Sept. 2. Dr. 'Forbes Wins low, of Lou:1on, a well known specialist on suicide and insanity, says that "Jack the Ripper," who by his crirnss terrorjsod London a few years ago, is incarcerated in a county lunatic asylum in England. Dr. Winslow says1 this fact is known to the authorities. "but they hav&,hush?d up the case"" " llhedoctor haRoiae to;,New York to attend the medicc-legal congress, which will be held Sept. 4, 5 and 6. He will be chairman of the department of insanity ' and mental medicine, and hivs prepared a paper on "Suicide Considered as a Mental Epidemic." ' The story told by Dr. Winslow follows: "Jack the Ripper" was a medical stu dent, of good family. He was a young man, of slight 'build,- with light hair and blue eyes. He studied very hard, and his mind, being naturally very weak, gave way. ,He became a religious enthusiast, and attended early service every morning at St. Paul's. x- His religious favor resulted in homicidal mania toward the women of the street, and impelled him to murder them. Ho lodged with a man whom I knew, and sus '. picion was first directed toward him by reason of the fact that he returned to his . lodgings at unseasonable hours, and that s he had innumerable coats and hats stained with blood. I have in my possession now a pair of Canadian moccasins stained with blood that the "Ripper" wore while on his mur derous expeditions. I notified the Scotland Yard authorities, but at that time they refused to co-operate with ' me. Subse ! quently the young man was placed in con I finement and removed to a lunatic asylum, : where he is today. Since his incarceration . there has been no reptition of the horrible murders that he perpetrated. These facts are all known to the English authorities, and it is conceded that the mau now in the asylum is "Jack the Rip per." It was dedmed desirable, however, to hush the matter up. The details were too horrible to be made the subject of a public trial, and there was no doubt of the ; man's hopeless insanity. Thirteen Miners Drowned. CENTRAL CITY, Colo,, Aug. 30. The ac cidental flooding of the American and Sleepy Hollow mines yesterday afternoon caused the death of thirteen miners. A lit tle after 3 o'clock the water i n the lower workings of Fisk mine, east of the main shaft, broke through the old workings of the vein, that has hot been worked for a number of years.

The attempt was made at Tomkin's Switch, where the line skirts the banks of the Susquehanna river, and had it succeeded the train, consisting of five well filled sleepers, three day coaches and two baggage cars, would have plunged down a twenty feet embankment into the river.
