THEY LUND AT SIMONOSEKI. The Viceroy i* Invested AN itti all the Necessary Powers to Conclnde Peace Negotiations Russia and England Will Keep Their Hands Os! Unless japan Asks Too Much—France Does j Not Like to See the Island of Formosa Go—Japan VI ill Get all She Asks. London, March 19.—A Central News dispatch from Tokio says Li Hung Chang with his suit'* of 130 persons, accom panied by Hon. Johu W. Foster, anived at Simonoseki at 8:30 o’clock onHhe morning’of March 19rh. Count Inonye immediately boarded the vessel which conveyed the Chinese envoys and at 10 o'clock returned ac eompanied by Li Hung Chang, Mr. Fos ter aud the other menib- rs and attaches of the pea e commission. The party then visited Mr. Mutsn, | Minister of Foreign Atfairs, and one of the Japanese officials delegated to treat j with Chinese envoys. Simonoseki is on the extreme south western coast of Japan, and it was here 1 that in the early ’6os the foreign powers forced the Japanese to assent to certain indemnities demanded of the empire. j Japan has been informed that Li Huug Chang has full power to arrange terms of peace aud has been assured that China desires that the war be stop ped by treaty agreement. The details as to the price China shall pay have not been definitely arranged, neither of ex act cession of territory nor the amount j of indemnity or kind of money in which it shall be paid. Japan has reached cer- j tain conclusions, especially respecting the cession of territory, bur no eonclu- ; sion has been reached by China. Washington, D. C., March 19. —It is . not believed here that Russia has any intentions of interfering with the peace j negotiations between Japau and China. Neither, it is said, is Great Britain likely j to interfeie unless Japan should demand a large slice of Chinese territory, which is not likely to be the case. The only j foreign power that may make a protest j against certain of the terms of peace is France, which country, it is believed, will strongly object to tne occupation by Japan of the Island of Formosa. Some of France's colonial territory lies close to Formosa, and it has been known for months thai France looks with disfavor upon this rich possession falling into the j hands of a power which has developed such extraordinary military and j»olitical strength as Japan has done during her war with China. So no significance is attached here to the report from St. j Petersburg that the Russian Mediterran ean squadron has been ordered to the Pacific coast to co operate with the British fleet in regard to Japan's demand ; upon China. The Japanese authorities at Tokio, however, are represented as having no fear of foreign interference in any con clusions reached between Japan and China. It is still believed here that an armis tice will be the first agreement reached between Li Hung Chang and the Japan ese peace plenipotentiaries at their meet ing at Simonoseki early this week. As has been previously stated, much will de pend upon the character of Li Hung Chang's instructions. If plenary powers have been given to him his first consid eration will be, it is said, to secure an armistice. Should the negotiations for peace proceed with reasonable rapidity, the armistice wilP be continued until some further understanding has been reached Should the peace negotiations fail it is not doubted that the victorious Japanese troops will proceed at once to Pekin, believing that when that point is reached, articles of peace can be signed practically upon Japan's own terms. THE NEW JUDGESHIP. Ewari and Jones Preparing to Te*t the l ane in the Courts. Special to the News and Observer Asheville, N. C., March 19 Senator Pritchard left this morning for Thomasville, Ga. He is going there, it is understood, to meet McKinley. From there they go to Washington. The seven year-old daughter of Mr. Stanley, who lives a few miles west of Asheville, was badly burned Sunday and died last night. Her clothiDg caught from the fire place. Rev. W. P. Southern, pastor of the Baptist Mission Church here, and Mrs. Adelia S. Worth, of Knoxville, Tenn., were married here this afternoon. Mr. H. G. Ewart was here to day. He and Judge Jones, who was sworn in yes terday before Judge Graham, agreed to submit the controversy without action under the Code. Judge Graham will hear the case soon, and from his de cision it will be appealed to the Supreme Court, it is expected that a decision will be rendered before the next term of the Criminal Court in April. Spain** Provebialiy Slow Action. Madrid, March 19.—United States Minister Taylor informed a reporter of the United Press last evening that the Spanish government had answered his note saying that as yet the foreign office had received no notice of the alleged firing upon the American ship Allianca by a Spanish war ship. The government promised to make urgent inquiry for an official report of the incident and the affair is adjourned pending this inquiry. MAY STILL RE MINISTER. Resign ition of Sagasta and Ili* C ol leagues Not Yet Accepted Madrid, March 19.—General Martinez de CainpiS, Captain General of Madrid paid another visit to Queen Regent Christiana today. Later it wass tated i hat Premier Sagasta and his colleagues in the cabinet who had tendered their resignations would probably resume their ministerial functions. Barcelona, March 19.— A military court here has ordered that two direc tors of local newspapers be arrested tor protesting against the excesses of the suoalte' ns in Madrid. Great excitement prevails and serious disturbance is threatened. Win n Premier Sagasta learned of this state of things he meditated summoning the civil guard, but he found that he J could not depen t upon that branch of ! the service, its officers expressing sym pathy with those of the regular army. Thereupon the prime minister and his colleagues tendered their resignations, Senor Sagasta informing the Queen Re- j gent that he feared insistence upon the punishment of the offenders would re sult in a mutiny of the military officers in Madrid aud the provinces and might j even endanger the monarchy. The impression produced upon the general public at seeing the government at the mercy of a few score of Subalterns is most painful. Madrid, March 19. —Gen. Martinez de Campos, Captain General, of Madrid, summoned tne officers of the Madrid Garrison to him last evening and said to them: "If there is any further noting on the part of the officers of this garrison they will have to meet me as an oppo nent ” Later he received a deputation of jour nalists, to whom he said: "If you make any further attacks upon the army which iucite a renewal of the recent rioting you will undoubtedly be shot.” London, March 19. A despatch to the ventral News from Madrid, via Bayonne, France, says that recently the couditiou of affairs in the Spanish Capi tol had not been more serious than at any time tor years past. The censor snip ot despatches leaving the country has prevented the full truth from be coming kuown. The fact is that the government is powerless to control the army aud that the officers from the gen erals down, have sided with the riotous subalterns. THE MISSING SPANISH CRUISER. The War Ship Keina Regente Found Sunk Near Couil. Cadiz. March 19 —The Spanish ends er Altonso XII, which has been cruising in the Mediterranean in search of the missing war ship Reina Regente, arrived hre this morning. She found the Reina Regente at Bajo Accitunos, near Couil, where she had sunk. Only about 18 inches of her masts were visible above the surface of the water. The Alfonso XII has returned to the scene of the wreck with a company of divers. The news brought by the Al fonso has created a profound feeling of sorrow here. From the best information obtainable here it is regarded as probable that all on board the. Reina Regente were lost, j Not a survivor has been reported as hav ing arrived at any port, nor has a single | body has been found that could be iden tified as that of one of the officers or crew of the lost ship. The Alfonso XII is taking divers and diving appliances for the purpose of re i moving the bodies from the sunken ship and examining the condition of the ves sel with a view of ascertaining the possi bilities of raising her. Until something farther is heard the Alfonso XII nothing can be definitely known, but all bands are undoubtedly lost. Madrid, March 19 —The government has not received official information re | garding the report of the finding of tne | cruiser Reina Regente and the statement that she had been found sunk in shallow water near the Straits of Gibraltar is i generally discredited by the authorities. All of the Madrid newspapers, however, publish the statement that the Alfonso I XII discovered the cruiser sunk at Bajo ! Aeoitunos, with only a small portion of i her masts above water. Madrid, March 19.—N0 definite con firmation of the report that the sunken wreck of the cruiser Reina Regente bad been discovered has jet reached the ; government. A dispatch from the ! agent of the Lloyds at Gibraltar was received near midnight say ing it was reported the she had foundered near Couil, but that the fate of those on board is not known. The salvage steamer Hermes, the de tpatch also said, had been placed at the disposal of the Lloyd’s agents, who pro ceeded with the vessel to offer assistance in ascertaining whether or not the cruiser could be raised. Heavy Los* by t ire. Burlington, Vt., March 19.—Twel e buildings were burned here today, causing a loss of $250,000 and throwing 400 men out of employment. The prin cipal establishments burned were Booth’s planing mill, a refrigerator factory and a shade roller factory. Insurance about $126,000. Mr. M. L. Millington was burned to death iu Boot»'s factory. Interested in the Income Tax. London, March 19 - Owing to the vast number of residents of Great Britain, who derive au income from the United States, the foreign office has caused the publication in to-night’s issue of the Ga zette of the terms of the new United States income tax law, accompanied by a notification that the time of declaration under the law has been extended to April 15th. RALEIGH. N. C., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20. 1895. THEY SAIL FOR AFRICA! TWO HUNDRED NEGRO EMI GRANTS LEAVE SAVANNAH FOR LIBERIA. THE PARTY IS WELL EQUIPPED. They Carry with them Farm Imple ments, Household Goods and Sup plies—They Have Spent Much Money in Savannah, but Still Seem to be well Supplied with Cash--A Great Crowd of Colored People See them Leave lor their New Home. Savannah, Ga., March 19.— The steam ship Horsa, with 200 Liberian emigrants, sailed from Savannah this afternoon. Five thousand negroes gathered on the wharf and cheered the vessel as it passed down the river. Knots of negroes began gathering in the viciniiy ot the dock where the steamer was lying early this morning. The number kept increasing, aud at noon several thousand were packed iu the streets and lanes aud covered the roofs of the buildings for several blocks. The effort by Rev. C. S. Smith, secretary of the Sunday School Union, of tbe African Methodist church, who has been endeavoring to prevent the clearance of the vessel on the ground that she was not properly equipped, failed to accomplish anything. Tne accommodations oi the Horsa com plied fully with the law and the vessel passed a thorough inspection by the cus tom officials. Shortly after noon the gates to the wharf where the emigrants were waiting, were opened and the ne groes went aboard. It was a curious procession, ranging in age from the baby in arms to the old man tottering on the verge of the grave. The women came first and made strange contrasts. One with a checked aprou and sunbonnet was followed bv a jaun tily dressed girl of more tender years with gaudy plumed hat and bright rib bons. Some carried valises, others Duckets, others tins full of small arti cles. After the women came the men with shot guns, rifles, and others with a>sorted luggage. All were sent into the stern of the vessel and grouped together in order that a picture of the vessel might betaken. The count showed 202, of which 38 were children aud 7 infants. The clearance papers put the number at 197. Over 400 trunks aud boxes were taken as baggage. In the boxes are agricul tural implements, fire arms, ammuni tion, household utensils and supplies, clothing, etc. The party is probably the best equipped that has ever left America for the dark continent. Since their ar rival in Savannah they have spent prob aoly $1,500 to $2,000 lajing in stores. T e majority ot the negroes appear to be still quite well applied with money. There is probably not a man in the party but has sufficient means to provide subsis tence for some time after landing in Li btna. -■supplied as they are, there is no daDger of this party starving to death or otherwise suffeiing if there is any pos sibility of m iking a living at all in the land to which they are going. When the vessel’s lines were east off there was a cheer from the crowd on the whirvG s and the emigrants saDg their parting soag, ••i'rxi Going Home to Af ric’s Shores. ’ The retrain was taken up by those on I shore The singing ’was kept up until |" e Vessel passed the city. The crowds ! ioilowing along the wharves shouting l good byes. From the negroes gathered on the crowded deck of the steamship came back answering shouts from men and women, while ihe color bearer of the party, a sturdy uegro of small dimeu -1 sions, violently waved a large American flag that will be displayed as the Horsa enters the harbor of Monrovia. The Horsa expects to reach Monrovia about j April 1, and after lauding the emigrants, will endeavor to secure a return cargo. The party is accompanied by K. B. 1 Cottingham, secretary of the lnterna ! tioual Emigration society, R. G. Trues dale and J. C. Lanchester, and Wm. Simpson, Agent of tbe Charterers. The missionary cause is represented by four colored ministers who go provided with funds to build a church in Monrovia. NEGROES GOING TO MEXICO. Between Seven and Eight Hundred 1 amilies Arrive at Ilahualalila Washington, D. C., March 19.— The Secretary of State is advised by the diplomatic representative of the United States in the City of Mexi«?b that betweeu seven and eight hundred negro families have recently arrived from the United i States at Ilahualalila, Durango, Mexico, j as colonists under a Federal concession j granted to W. 11. Ellis, an American ' citizen. Secretary Gresham has received a note from Senor Muruagua, the Spanish Min ister asking that close watch be kept on a lot of arms stored in a warehouse at Fernandina, Fla. A freight car has been backed up near the warehouse and he fears the arms may be sent to Cuban re bels. These arms it is said were intend ed for the Lagonda or Arnadis, the two vessels recently suspected of intending to laud aims iu Cuba. To Shorten its Schedule. Savannah, Ga., March 19.— The New York and Florida special over the Riant System and Atlantic Coast Line, will shorten its schedule going north two hours after this week, leaving Jackson ville at 12:55 p. m., and arriving at New York at 5:23, the next afternoon. TRIBUTE TO DR. IIROADUS. Wake Forest College Mourn* the Loss of theSouih’s Eminent Theologian. Special to the News and Observer. Wake Forest, N. C., March 19 On Saturday last the North Carolina , students in the Theological Seminary at j Louisville, Ky., sent Dr. Taj lor a toes- j sage announcing the death of Dr. John j A. Broad us, President of the Seminary, j The message was not received by him until his return Sunday, when he sent j the following iu response: “We mourn ! with you our wisest man, foremast ! scholar, greatest preacher.” Before j preaching Sunday morning Rev. Mr. ] Gwaltney alluded feelingly to the great loss the Southern Baptist Convention had sustained in the departure of “this prince in Israel.” In the college chapel Monday morning President Taylor made a very clear and tender address on the character and eminent abilities of Dr. Broadus. He spoke from a long per sonal acquaintance, which extended back to his own childhood. He said that Dr. Broadus was remarkable in many way*: in vigorous common sense, which made him a safe counsellor; in sweetness and simplicity of character, rendering him accessible aud intelligible alike to the humble, ig noraut man and to the learned; insehol arly instincts and acquirements; iu a rare facility and power of expression; and in the ability to move a great audi ence, which he accomplished by an in tensity aud glow of thought accom panied with remarkable quietness of manner, if the lively play ot the counte nance be excepted. He closed with an extract from Dr. Broadus’Life of Boyce, his life long friend and co adjutor, the last paragraphs, which presemed the view that God does not call his servants away until their work is done. At the invitation of the ladies of this community M ; ss Tyler, of Raleigh, who was born in a missionary household iu South Africa, came out yesterday and spoke to a large company of them in the afternoon iu the off mieal lecture room on life among the Zulus. The ladies were delighted with her personally and with her entertaining easy-flowing talk. Prof C. E. Brewer's paper before the Scientific Society last week was on the Chemistry of Bread-making. It, was il luxated by a series of beautiful experi ments. The beture room was crowded to hear it. The Athletic team are practicing for the contests of “field-day.” Some of tbe students will attend the Y. M. C. A. Convention in Raleigh a r thh invitation of State Secretary 1.. A Coulter, whose two addresses here Pst week were very helpful. There is no Y M. C. Association here. CUBAN REBELS DEFEATED. A Number ol the Revolutionists Were Killed and the Other* Fled. Havana, March 19— General La chambre, commanding the Spanish forces in Cuba, reporis that the loss of Col. Santos Childes force in tbe engage ment with a band of rebels at Guanta nanome, on the 10th instant, was five seriously wounded. The revolutionists lost seven killed and fifteen wounded, among the latter being ore of the leaders of the band. Major Yaqnero’s column, the repoit says, has attach d aud dispersed the rebels in the vicinity of Jaeaibana, wounding one of them. Col. Samos Childe arrived at Man sanillo on the 15th iusr , and assumed command of the troops in that district. On the 16th a force of government ; troops under Col. Bosch attacked a party of rebels at Guantananorae and com pletely routed them. One of the rebels was killed. The next day the same force overtook the Perez band of revolu tionists and after a sharp engagement, duriug which two of the rebels were wounded dispersed them, capturing all their arms. Lugo’s band was also de feated and fled to the mountains. The dispatch sent from Key Wesfcto New York stated that tbe Spanish cruiser Infanta Isabel had fired at an American smack is denounced here as untrue. The denial of the report is based upon the fact that the cruiser was in port sou r days ago. The Postmaster Sustained. Washington, March 19.—Tho long and stubborn fight between the Civil : Service Commission and Postmaster Warfield, cf Baltimore, over the re movals aud appointments made by the postmaster in his office, claimed by the Commission to have been illegal, was today settled by Attorney General Olney, who was called upon for an opinion in the case. He decided that the removals and appointments made by Mr. Warfield were legal. The Cause ol Thurston’* Recall. Washington, March 19. —The state ment cannot be oflicially eoutiimed but it is believed to be a fact that the Hawaiian Minister, Thurston, has been recalled by his government upon repre sentations from Washington that he is persona non grata to President ; Clove land’s official family. Talk of this kind has been current for some time but to night the newsmongers affirm that what has heretofore been gossip has now be come a fact. At La*t Sentenced to Hang:. Denver, Colo,, March 19. Henry Tyson, who committed murder in 1889, and who has been in the solitary cell confinement until he has become blind, was to-day sentenced to be hanged during the second week in April. THAT COLD LUNCH CHAIRMAN DARLING SAYS GOV. O’FERRALL KNEW ALL ABOUT THE NEGRO. MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATORS. The Report That the Negro Member of the Committee, Teamoh, was Snubbed in the South, Causing Much Comment in Boston Governor O’For rail and Every bond y Else, says Mr. Darling,Treated the Darkey with the Utmost Consideration. Boston, March 19.—A Richmond, j Va., dispatch asserting that Robert Teamoh, the colored member of the House of Representatives, who accom pauied*the legislative committee on mer cantile affair's on its recent trip to the South, had been snubbed by Governor O’Ferrall, of Virginia, and otheis on ae 1 count of his color, and the committee thereby insulted, had caused agreat deal of comment here. Hon. F. W. Darling, Senate chairman of the committee on mercantile affairs, said of the dispatch: "There is hardly a word of truth in it from the first line to the last. In the first place it says that had the Governor known there was a negro in the party he would not have extended the invitation to the commit tee. Gov. O’Ferrall knew Mr. Teamoh was in the party bt cause he told me so.” The dispatch also says Mrs. O'Ferrall immediately withdrew from the parlor on seeing Mr. Teamoh. The fact is she remained in the parlor quite a long t me j conversing with the party. She did not 1 leave the parlor until the Governor arose and asktd her to withdraw, as the gen- ! tleraen were going to the dining room. , Mr. Teamoh and Mr. Mitchell, an alderman of Richmond, were in'the party j aud both went to the dining room and i sat at the table with ihe governor and with the major of Richmond. There was not the slightest embarrassment ob served in either of these gentlemen. On the contrary, they were most cordial and polite and desirous of entertaining roy ally a delegation from Massachusetts. This despatch is unusually inappro priate as referring to Gov. be cause he treated the colored man with the utmost consideration, botn at the Executive Mansion and atterwaids, as a party when we visited the State peniten- j tiary. The only other occasion in the South in j which the committee as a body accepted aDy hospitality outside of what might have been accepted as individuals was in Atlanta when I received an invita tion from W. A. Hemphill, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, to bring the com mittee to the Constitution building and meet some of the prominent men of At lanta, who were interested in the pro- j posed exposition of cotton industries, i The committee accepted the invitation and there met some forty or fifty citi zens of Atlanta. The president of the Exposition in vited me, Mr. Bancroft, House chairman of the committee, Mr. Moriarty and Mr. Teamoh to speak to the meeting. Every thing said by these gentlemen was re ceived with cordial approbation. We did not go South to make any unneces sary war upon their customs, aud noth ing for which Mr. Teamoh asked in the South was denied. Mr. Teamoh himself grasped the situation of affair.- aud as sured the committee many times during the trip home that he was abundantly satisfied and pleased with his reception in the South. RALEIGH MAN IN TROUBLE. John W. Baker Found to be Over 81,000 Short in Hi* Acconnt*. Baltimore, Md , March 19.—John W. Biker, cashier for tbe Lubroleine Oil Company, is said to be short in h:s ac counts to tbe extent, of about a thousand dollars, and the management: is looking for him Baker came here from Raleigh, N. C. When it was ascertained some weeks ago that his accounts were not correct, Baker was dismissed. He was furnished with transportation to Raleigh, and with his wife left for that place. It is claimed now that other discrepancies have been found, and the company has decided to prosecute him. Young Baker was in Raleigh Monday, but left on the noon Seaboard Air Line north-bound train. He w T as employed here in the office of the Progressive Farmer, the Alliance organ, but left that position and became stenographer in the office of the State Chronicle, which was then conducted by Mr T. R. Jernigan. From there he went to Knoxville. Term., with the “Southern Publishing Company,” a bubble which soon burst, then he secured this position with the Lubroleine Oil Company, which he has held for about two years. His wife, who was a Miss Baker, is now at the home of her parvnts on Fay etteville street, two doors above tin* News and Observer office. A Railroad That is Hard to Sell. Macon, Ga., March 19 -The Georgia Soui hern and Florida railroad seems hard to dispose of. Several weeks ago it was put on the block and no sale made, and to-day was put up again. The upset price was $3,750,000, but there were no bids. Commissioner Hardeman next an- 1 uounced that under the terms cf the de- j creethe property would again be offered at public sale on the first Tuesday in I April, at which time the upset price is I fixed at $3,000,000. It is generally be lieved that the road will then be sold. PRICE FIVE CENTS.S, REBEL LEADER IDENTIFIED. No Longer any Doubt that Gat** w»* Slain in the Attack on Horn*. Mobile, Ala., March 19 The Regis i ter’s correspondent at Bocas del Toro, United States of Colombia, under date of March 13th, says identification of General Catarine Erazmo Garza, slain in the attack on Bocas del Toro, is com plete. Several letters were found cn his body, addressed to him, also a telegram I Individuals also identifh dhim. Three times during the fight he ad vanced within ten feet of the barracks and called on the Captain to surrender; and each time the answer was a volley of musketry. When killed, he fell within 20 feet of the barracks. As he fell he shouted: "Fire the town” and a rebel : named Cartre poured oil on a building between Wilson’s store and the barracks ! and struck a match but was shot dead in his tracks. Government soldiers captured the small schooner < n the 9th in which the rebels came from Greytown. Five rebels were on board, but they jumped into the sea and escaped ashore. These alone es caped to tell the tale of the defeat. On board wire found forty Winches i ters and a large number of cartridges. From this, the inference is that Garza I expected to have had a larger force than that which appeared at Bocas. It ispos | sible he anticipated that the force would : have accessions at Bocas. Since the fight forty more government soldiers have arrived from Colon. The i total record of the battle is 11 dead, 25 wounded and 35 prisoners. Several of the wounded will die. The woman and , baby who were shot are doing well. The prisoners say that they were 1 signed as laborers at Grey tow n to work on banana plantations at Bocas. They : sailed from Greytown February 2nd and visited Carreta, Costa Rica, where arms were taken on board and many more joined the expedition. When they ar rived at Bocas, the arms were given them and they were told to fight or die. This story is not credited. There was but one Colombian in the party. It is thought it was merely a pillaging r xpe dition. The fruit steamer Briefond, from New Orleans, reports passing a schooner off Cape Gracia, supposed to have soldiers on board coming to Bocas.
