TERIALS TO LEAVE FOR
TIIE ISLAND.
THE REVOLT BECOMES GENERAL.
The Insurgents have Received Rein
forcements from Different Parts ol
the Province of Sautiago--The Sitna
) Hon is Causing a Sensatlou in Spain,
and the Papers are Severely Criticis
ing General Campos—Talk of Annex*
ing Cuba in Eugland.
New York, July 23 —lt is an open
secret in Cuban revolutionary circles
that preparations are being made to send
an expedition to Cuba at the earliest
opportunity. At the last meeting of the
■evolutionary party, in this city, Gen.
Kafael de Qaesada, publicly announced
that he would assume command of the
first expedition to start for the islands.
For some time past owners of vessels
have made overtures to the revolution
ists in New York, many offering their
vessels for immediate sale. Some had
boats which they wished to charter for
limited periods. Proposals of this kind
have come from nearly every port along
the Atlantic coast, i It is said that con
siderable time hai been spent by the Cu
bans having charge of the solection, in
examining the vessels offered for sale.
It is generally understood that within
the past day or two a suitable veasel has
been selected and purchased by this
committee. The leaders of the move
ment in this city decline to discuss the
subject But the Cuban patriots who
are not identified with the party as
leaders had all heard of the purchase.
The vessel is, according to reports, an
iron steamer with a power of fifteen
knots an hour. Neither the name of
the vessel, nor the port at which she is
now lying, could be ascertained.
The Revolt Becomes General.
Havana, July 23.— Great anxiety pre
vails here in all circles and news from
the province of Santiago de Cuba is
awaited with great apprehension.
Captain General Martinez de Campos
with the troops from Holquin and Tunas,
had at his disposal on Friday last, a force
of about 11,000 men. But there is no
denying that the situation is very grave.
The insurgents have received re inforce
mentß from different parts of the pro
vince of Santiago de Cuba, and it is re
ported that Maximo Gomez has arrived
at the front and taken command of the
insurgent forces as general in chief.
According to private advices received
Mere the insurgents have united their
forces at Corojo, south of Bayamo and
Manzanillo, in the Province of Santiago
de Cuba, and about midway between
those two places, and they are said to
have the intention of burning Bayamo,
Veguira, Yara and Manzanillo, and if
the sugar planters refuse to pay contri
butions to the insurgent army, the
leaders of the revolution threaten to
burn all the plantations in the Mazanillo
district, which property represents mil
lions of dollars.
The insurgent leader, Solano, has died
in the Province of Santa Clara, of wounds
which he received recently in an engage
ment with the Spanish troops.
Campos Severely Criticised.
Madrid, July 23.— The situation in
C’uba is causing a sensation here. The
newspapers are blaming Captain General
Martinez de Campos for advocating send
ing Generals Weyler and Polavioja, fam
ous for their severity during past Cuban
insurrections to assist in the work of
suppressing the present rebellion.
Reinforcements for Cnba.
Madrid, July 23 —Preparations are
being made to despatch large reinforce
ments of troops to Cuba. According to
the present plans by August 15, 20,000
infantry, 1,250 cavalry, 1,200 artillery
and 1,000 engineers will leave Spain for
Havana. The government will ask the
Cortez to mobilize the first infantry
without delay.
Talk of Annexation in England.
London, July 23.—The Times, in ad
dition to its dispatch from Havana out
lining the situation of affairs there,
says:
“At every tnrn Gomez has outgen
eraled Campos. Gomez has raise l the
revolt all over the whole island, thus
forcing Campos to scatter his soldiers
over a wide area. If Spain wishes to
quell the rebellion, she must prepare for
a prolonged occupation of the island by
a large force."
The Times correspondent then resumes
at length how the Cubans have suffered
from the decline tn the price of sugar
and real estate and describes how the
estates have gradually f lien into the
hands of the Spanish mortgagees.
“I regard annexation,” says the writer,
“as only a bare possibility because the
United States shows no inclination in
this direction.”

Ontrageou* Treatment ol a German
Family in Lunenburg County.
Washington, D. 0., July 23 —A spe
cial from Richmond says: What may
be a sari commentary upon foreign im
migration in Virginia was told today by
John Dean, a German, who claims to
have fled to this city f.om Lunenburg
county to protect his life and his prop
erty. He brought his wife and children
with him, deserted his farm of forty
acres in Lunenburg, near Wattsboro,
and has appealed to Adolph Osterlob,
the German Consul here, and Lonis
Berchers, the Imperial and Royal Oonsul
of Austria, in this city, to protect his
family and property. Dean says that
Max May, Charlie Brag, John Elders
and Red Hardy went to his house June
30, and without provocation, beat him
to unconsciousness, insulted and beat
his wife, and threatened their lives.
The men were arrested July 10th and
carried before an intoxicated justice of
the peace, says Dean, who acquitted
them. Od the way home from the court
he and his three year-old girl were badly
beaten and the child permanently in
jured. The foreigners appealed to tDe
commonwealth’s attorney who had
three of the men indicted. July 11th
the men visited Dean’s home, he says,
and destroyed all his household goods to
the value of $2,300. lie has a certificate
from a justice of the peace certifying to
the amount of damages. The men
threatened to shoot Dean nearly every
day since they were indicted.
The German and Aurtiian Consuls
here have the matter in hand. Dean is
out of funds, and is afraid to return to
his farm in Lunenburg.
FATAL DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
Three Men Instantly Killed and a
Fourth Radiy Injured.
Chicago, 111., July 23.— Three men
were instantly killed and a fourth badly
injured to day by a premature explosion
of dynamite in the drainage canal, near
Willow Springs. The dead are: Thomas
Seaker, of Chicago; William Kelly, home
in Marquette, Mich.; Joseph:Smith, re
sidence unknown. *The injured: Mathew
Healy, severe scalp wound.
Kelley, Baker and Smith were pre
paring a blast and were pressing the
dynamite in the hole when suddenly the
blast, which was almost completed, went
off. All three men were hurled in the
air and came down fully 200 yards from
the scene of the explosion. All throe
were mangled in a horrible manner.
Over 100 men were close to the blast
when the explosion occurred and it is a
wonder that the loss of life was not much
greater. Thej made a wild break for
cover when the shower of rocks began to
fall and all escaped injury with the ex
ception of Healy, who was struck by a
piece of rock. He will recover. No
cause is known for the explosion, as all
the men were careful and experienced in
the handling of dynamite.

TWENTY-NINE PERSONS ABOARD.
The Accident Wa# Canned by the
Schooner Suddenly Changing Her
Coarse and Running Dite«tly tn Front
of the Steamer’s Bow-The Sehooner’s
Master one ol the First to Abandon
Hi* Vessel—The 111 Fated Boat
Sauk Almost Instantly.
New York, July 23.— The Norwegian
steamer Terrier arrived to-day from
Demerara, July 12. Capt. Berg reports
that at 8:30 p. na , of that day on which
his steamer left Demerara, a schooner
was sighted close ill the starboard bow.
Capt. Berg watched the schooner’s move
ments closely and at the same time
hauled his steamer’s wheel to port, ex
pecting that the schooner would keep on
her course. The schooner did so for a
time, and then she suddenly changed
her course, running free directly aorass
the Terrier’s bow. Before the steamer
could be stopped or her headway check
ed, she struck the schooner on the port
side, about aft the fore riggiug, sinking
her almost instantly.
She proved to be the BritiiA schooner
Eagle, of and from Barbadoes, for De
merara, passengers and crew on board
the Eagle numbering twenty-nine.
Twenty-four passengers were saved, two
men, two women and on# child being
drowned. Immediately on the vessel
coming together several of th* schoon
er’s passengers a*d orew scrambled on
board the Terrier, others were hauled
on board by the steamer’s crew with
the aid of lints. The steamer’s two
boats were manned and lowered as rap
idly as possible.
When the collision occurred the
schooner’s master was one of the first to
abandon his vessel, and did nothing to
assist in saving his unfortunate passen
gers and crew. Among the passengers
were several women and children. The
captain of tho Eagle apparently lost all
self control and p-ced the steamer’s
deck sobbing, moaning and wringing his
hands, bemoaning the loss of hi* vessel
and her living freight. The men on
board the schooner also showed the
white feather and hurriedly left the ves
sel without making the least attempt to
save the women and children.
A vigilant search was kept up for some
time in the hope of finding some of the
five missing ones clinging or floating to
the wreckage but nothing was seen of
them. The,,Terrier returned to Deme
rara and landed the twenty-four survi
vors. A superficial examination was
made as to the damage to the steamer.
It was found that two of the bow plates
were bent and some slight damage done
about the forecastle deck Otherwise
no serious damage was sustained.

town presents a sad spectacle to-day,
caused by the most destructive flood ever
known in this region.

Approximate loss is $150,000. A
number of bridge were washed away.
It will be a week before trains can pass
into town. The weather is threatening
to-day. Should more rain fall it will
finish the buildings that remain.

Williams, a rigger, was working on tfie
tower of the city hall to day, when he
made a misstep and plunged head fore
most to the platform forty feet below.

FREE SILVER NEWSPAPER MEN.
Democratic Editor* Addressed by Mr.
Bland and Senator Cockrell.
SKl) alia, Mo., July 28.—The attend
ance at the Democratic Free Silver Edi
tors’ State Convention met the most san
guine expectations of those who pro
moted it Editors are here to-day from
every section of the State.
At 11 o’clock, lion. R. P. Bland de
livered an address but the principal ad
dress of the day was that of Senator
Cockrell. He said:
“The pending financial issue was
whether the single standard of gold
3hould be continued, or the true bi
metallic system restored.
“Every possible effort will be made to
conceal, complicate and mystify this
vital issue. Let us not be mistaken or
deceived, nor misled. The Forty-second
Congress with a two-thirds majority of
Republicans In each honse, passed the
coinage law of February 12, 1873, which
was approved by a Republican President
and established the single standard of
gold, made the gold dollar the unit of
value, denied any coinage to the staßd
ard silver dollar, limited the legal tender
value of all silver coins to five dollars,
and thus destroyed the bi-metallic sys
tem.
“To-day our laws authorize the free
and unlimited coinage of gold at our
mints into full legal tender money and
thus endow and clothe the geld metal
with the functions of money and make
the metal equal in value to the coin, but
they did not authorize or permit the
coinage of any standard silver dollars
exoept the bullion in the Treasury, pur
chased under the Sherman law, thus de
nyiag to the silver metal any functions
of money.
“In the Brussels conference of 1892,
Mr. Alfred de Rothschild, a delegate
from England, said:
‘“Gentlemen: I need hardly remind you
that the stock of silver in the world is
estimated at some thousands of millions
of dollars, and if this conference were to
break up without arriving at any defi
nite res«lt, there would be a deprecia
tion in the value of that commodity which
it wonld be frightful to contemplate and
out of which a monetary panic would
ensue the far-spreading effects of which
it would be hard to foretell.’
“This conference did adjourn without
definite results, and on Jane 20, 1893,
India closed her mints to the free coin
age of silver and the commercial value
of silver measured with gold at once fell
about 15 percent. Our law of Novem
ber 11, 1893, repealed the purchasing
clause es the Sherman law and silver fell
still lower. By the undisputed testimony
or the historic record of events, Mr. Car
lisle was right in 1878 im his denuncia
tion of the act of 1873, as ‘the most
gigantic crime of this or any other age.’”
TWO MORE OF HOLMBS’VICTIMS.
Me la Now Believed to Have Killed
Hn. Connor ttnd Her Daughter.
Chicago, 111., July 23. —That Mrs. E.
L. Connor is dead is certain. That
Holmes either killed her or is directly
responsible for her death is equally true.
Holmes yesterday admitted that the wo
man was no more, but as usual, he tried
to shift the blame on some one else. Al
most equally certain is it that Mrs. Con
nor’s daughter, Gertrude, is not in the
land of the living. Holmes says he does
not know what has become of her, and
that in itself is practically an admission
she has been made away with.
The fact that Holmes admits Mrs.
Connor’s death is no* known to the au
thorities in Philadelphia. He made the
admission yesterday to a man whom,
with District Attorney Graham, was
closeted with him in the Moyamensing
Penitentiary. This is his statement:
“Mrs. Connor got into trouble and a
Chicago doctor performed an operation.
The job was a bungling one and the
woman died.”
This is the first ligfct shed on the case
*iqce Mrs. Connor disappeared from pub
lie view in 1893.

RED MEN ARE WR-ATHY
A SETTLEMENT CAN HARDLY
BE REACHED WITHOUT
BLOODSHED.
THE SITUATION IS SERIOUS.
Governor Richard* Think* the Police
Wilt be Able to Stop the Tiouble But
if the Outbreak 1* Not Quelled at
Once by the Government He Will
Make it a State Matter and Order
Out Troops—Sixteen Braves Killed
for Violating Game Laws.
Pogatbllo, Idaho, July 23 —At the
Bannock Indian Agency, thirteen miles
north of here, those in authority who
are in possession of all the facts obtain
able do not believe the trouble in the
Jackson Hole Country can possibly reach
a final settlement now without more
bloodshed. The rumors current here
last night regarding depreciations of a
returning band of Bannocks and their
killing of three white settlers cannot be
further confirmed. Not more than fifty-
Indians have so far returned to the im
mediate vieiiity of the agency and they
will not talk.
Although it can be positively stated
that the rumored danger in this imme
diate vicinity is without foundation, it
is confidently believed from the advices
brought, daily by the Indian police from
the scene of the trouble in Northwest
Wyoming, that there will be other
clashes there between the Indians and
settlers and tough characters in the
Jackson Hole country.
The police, as a rale, are Indians first
and police afterwards and evidently
made a report to their brother braves, for
almost every able bodied Bannock has
between the return of the police and this
time decamped from the scene of the
trouble. From the most trusted police
it is learned that many of the Indians
who are apparently returning to their
homes have quietly said that they were
taking their squaws and papooses home
to the reservation and then would return
to see the white men at Jackson Hole
oountry.
Settlers Awaiting Attack.
Market Lane, Idaho, July 23.— 0 n
July 21, thirty men left Jackson’s Hole
to arrest all Indians breaking the game
laws of Wyoming. In Hoback Canon
they supriaed a camp of 17 Indians and
took them all prisoners and started with
them for Jackson’s Hole. In the canon
they tried to escape and all the Indians
were killed except one papoose which
was brought into the Hole. There were
138 fresh elk skins in the camp.
John N. Carnes, a squaw man and the
oldest settler in Jackson Hole, has gone
over into Idaho and says every settler in
Jackson Hole will be butchered. There
were three hundred Bannock warriors
on Hoback River when Carnes was there.
He says all squaws have been sent away
and that all bucks are daily joining the
main band.
Jackson Hole settlers are now en
trenched and awaiting the attack. Un
less the cavalry gets there quick every
settler between Jackson Hole and this
railway station is in danger of massacre.
A Serion* State ol Affairs.
Cheyenne, Wyo., July 23.— Governor
Richards received a message to day from
Adjutant General Stitzar, who is in tt#
Jackson Hole region, investigating the
Indian trouble indicating that a serious
state of affairs exists there. The set
tlers have abandoned their crops, and
are moving their families out of the
country. Indians from Fort Hall and
other reservations are reported going
into the country, and all mountain
passes are in their control. Definite in
formation is awaited hy the State au
thorities as to the success of the Indian
police inducing hostiles to return to
their reservations before sending State
troops to the scene of the trouble.
In conversation today Gov. Richards
said that he believed the Indian police
would be able to arrest all the Indians
who are now off their reservations, and
that if they experienced any difficulty
the regulars would be called out to assist
them.
“This Indian trouble must be settled
quick,” said the Governor; “and unless
the Washiagton authorities take decided
action soon. I will make a State matter
out of it and order out the State troops
to arrest all roving Indians who are
causing trouhle and turn them over to
the authorities.
The Indian* Being Reiulo:ced.
Market Lake, Idaho, July 23.
Capt. Tetere, Indian Agent at Fort
Hall, Idaho reservation, came in to-day
from the Jackson Hole country and re
ports everything quiet and few, if any
Indians in the country.
Capt. Teters, however, was followed
by a courier from the settlers, with a
dispatch to Governor Richards, which
tells another story. The courier, Fred
White, reports that the ludians have
been joined by a large number of Lempi
and Ute Indians, and that they have
every pass in Jackson Hole guarded.
Seouts from the settlers say the Indians
are massing in large numbers, and will
no doubt offer a fight.
A prospector named Smith was am
bushed by Indians and wounded in the
breast. He claimed to have cleaned out
the band, but scouts sent to confirm it,
say they found evidence of only one
Indian being wounded.
The settlers have brought their women
and children to Wilford and intend to go
Indian hunting and not wait for the
red skins to attack them.
