GEN. MACEO WOUNDED
THE BLOODIEST BATTLE OF
TIIE CUBAN INSURRECTION
FOUGHT RECENTLY.
MANY OF THE INSURGENTS FELL
Ti.e Simn’.sh Troop*, Commanded by
Gen. Exchague, Fell Into an Ambu*h
and a Desperate Hattie Ensued—Gen,
Maceo Was Wounded While iu Front
of the Line Leading His Men—Span
ish Oiticials Claim That 180 Insur
gents Were Killed'and Wounded.
Havana, Oct. s.—The most bloody
battle of the present war was fought re
cently in the country between Soa Ar
riba and Sanftrnando in the Holguin
District of Santiago de Cuba. The in
surgents were commanded by Gen. An
tonio Maceo, while the Spanish troops
were commanded by Gen. Exchague.
The insurgents numbering 3,000 in
fantry and 800 cavalry laid in wait for
•Gen. Exchague who put in an appear
ance at the head of 1,300 infantry and
-300 cavalry. The Spanish troops also
possessed one field cannon. Gen. Ex
chague distributed his men in admirable
fashion and arranged to fall certa j n
specified times upo>’ positions held
by the iasur- nts
T j revolutionists hearing of Gen. Ex
c'aague’s movements arranged for a
stro jg out-post to check r he irnpe uis'ty
of the Spanish troops The regular
Spanish forces paid very li. tie attention
to the small body of men stationed at
the out posts and rushed to the main
force wherever and whenever the insur
gents could be found. The insurgents
made a desperate resistance which lasted
seven hours.
The charges of the insurgent cava’ry
Upon the S-/ani*h squares were not as
eff etive as in other smaller cor dicta
previously reported. Tbe Spanish cav
alry held these attacking parties at bay,
and it seem d as though the Spanish ar
tillery va* more deadly to the insurgents
than formerly.
Finally, Gen. Antonio Maceo, seeing
his men in a critical condition, rushed to
•the front with bis staff. He had scarcely
taken a position in front of the line when
he fell, serious’y wounded. His followers
at c-noe placed him on stretchers and
succeeded in carrying him off the field.
When it was learned that Maceo had
been wounded all was confusion in the
ranks of the insurgents, who, according
to official advices, received here, were
put to flight, leaving upon the field
twenty killed and several wounded.
Spanish officials estimated that before
Maceo fell seriously injured fully 180
dead and wounded of the insurgents
were carried from the field. These
officials also assert that many of the in
surgents surrendered, discouraged by
the defeat and thp wounding of Maceo,
and they expect that others will also
give themselves up.
Col. D igango also fought the band of
Bermudez at Vo;da Del Cuero, Province
of Santa Clara. Three of the insurgents
and four of the troops are reported to
have been killed. Col. Tovar was
wounded.
He a'so fir d on the insurgents *t
Bayansesa and Mendieta. Lieut. Zua
guin Vidal was wounded.
ANSWERED FOR DURRANT.
Ttoe Prosecution Will Shatter the La*t
Keunnaut ot the Alibi.
San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 5.- The
prosecution in the Durrant case is said
to have in its possession information
which will finally shatter the last rem
nant of the alibi which Durrant’s attor
neys have attempted to prove.
W. R Durr, a student in the Cooper
Medical Coll ge, sat alongside of Dur
rant at the lectures. When examined with
other members of the class, Dorr testi
fied that he did not know whether Dur
rant was present at the afternoon lec
ture on April 3d or not. Dorr’s father,
who is a prominent physician, informed
the police, however, that in his own home,
and to the members of h<B own family,
young Dorr stated that on the after
noon of April 3d, Durrani’s seat
was occupied by a student named
E Barry. He added that the stu
dent who that afternoon answered to
Durrani’s name occupied one of the rear
seats in the class room The communi
cation made in his own family was not
ac ■ompanied by any injunction of se
crccy. It was not until all the students,
including Durr, on the witness stand had
denied knowledge of the important fact
o? Durrani’s presence or absence that
the police who had heard the story, com
m mica’ed with the Disirct Attorney.
It is presumed th.i' Dorr in common
with o. be* , Durrant'.. fellow students
desir* d an tar as possible to protect their
former classmate and so avoid; d answer
lag pertinent questions by res; ending:
“I know not.”
It is now considered certain that D ;r
will be called to the stand and be re
quired to tell the truth concerning the
events of the fatal afternoon of April 3.

Special London Cable Letter Copyrighted
1896 by. the Associated Press.
London, Oct. s.—The feature of the
financial w’orld during the past week was
the prolonging of the craze here for “Kaf
firs,” (South African mining shares) and
the postponement of the expected crash
in those securities which has been prac
ticed for some time past. The main
point of interest in the world of politics
was the rioting at Constantinople ahd
the subsequent decline in the sympathy
hhherto felt for the apparently badly
oppressed and much massacred Armen
ians. There was quite a slump, followed
by a rally, in Kaffairs on Friday aud to
day tbere was another and heavier fall
in the price of South African miuiug
stocks, the decline in some cases amount
ing to £2O to £3O per share.
The decline appears to be due to the
alarm of Freucli ITV^'Ors.
The frierds of the late Lord Randolph
Churchiil are about to call a meeting tor
the purpose of raising subscriptions fora

Lady Jeune’s article in a popular pe
riodical on cycling has attracted
considerable attention iu view of
the fact that the writer is the wife
of the well known Judge of the Pro
bate. Divorce aud Admiralty Di vision of
the High Court of Justices and also be
cause she is popular in the highest
society and an authority on social ques
tions. She says that sire thinks that
bloomers have no advantage whatever
over short, well-cut skirts, while the
former, in her opinion, are less comfor
table and less graceful to wear which
would seem to show that the writer has
worn them.
Lady Jeune further claims that woman
is not made to wear tight-fitting apparel,
and that when she does she becomes
“ugly and mis shaped.” *
Sister Mary Regis, who has done so

In Lady Co ! io Campbell’s realm this

w hich she makes a vigorous defense of
Americans, especially American girls, as
an answer to the paper’s recent attacks.
She says that the paper judges Ameri

BIG MISSIONARY RALLY

GREAT ENTHUSIASM PREVAILED
The Convention Invited to Meet in Lou

Prayer Rook Fina'ly Revised and
Ordered Printed on Fine Paper and
BiMtrihuted Among the Diocese and
Prominent Institution*—Secretary
Foster’s Sensational Address.
Minneapolis, Minn., Oct, s.— The
counter attraction of the great all day
missionary rally at the Lyceum Theatre
to-day, was too much for the House of
Bishops of the Episcopal Convention
and after transacting a little routine
business the House adjourned until
Monday morning.
The House of Deputies however, satis
fied with the attention it had given the
missions yesterday, continued its work.
The committee on Canons recommended
that a number of proposed articles re
ferred to them be not adopted and the
report was approved. A number of
memorials to deceased brethren were
offered and a petition asking for a
division of the diocese of Tokio, Japan,
but appointment of another bishop was
received.
Rev. E H. Ward, of Kentucky, pre
eOLted the invitation of Louisville for
the convention of 1896. It was referred
to a gs ficial committee.
Judge Geo. R Fairbanks, of Florida,
in the interest of the proposal to divide
the diocese of Florida, offered a resolu
tion providing for an easier way for the
division of a diocese and the erection of
missionary jurisdictions than now ex
ists. Objtcuon b iug made the House,
by a vote of 196 to 60, decided to take
it up.
After a warm deba'e, in which no con
clusion was reached, the order of the day
was taken up—l7s to, 91. The joint
committee on the standard prayer book
rrper ed the final revision and printing
(. f the book of common prayer on fine
paper, and the distribution of copies
among the diocese and prominent insti
tutions.
A handsome vellum volume, bound in
leatit and silver and enclosed in a
carved oaken box, was delivered formally
to the custodian of the Standard Book of
Common Prayer. This volume, a marvel
of the printer’s and bookbinder’s art, was
held aloft in Secretary Hutchins’ hand,
while the house rose to its feet.
In committee of the whole the consti
tutional revision report was taken up.
F. Wilder, of Minnesota, offered an
amendment to the amendment of Jas.
S. Biddle, of Pennsylvania, requiring
the House of Bishops to report to the
House of Deputies within three days
their disapprobation of any measure and
the reasons for it. Mr. Wilder wanted
to add the words, “as long as the House
of Bishops shall sit with closed doors.”
This aimed at the executive session
and occasioned a warm but indecisive
debate.
Tne principal social function of the
day was the reception tendered by Mrs.
Doerilus Morrison at Villa Rosa this as
ternoon, followed this evening by adia
ner to 21 of the leading church dignita
ries. ,
The missionary rally at the Lyceum
Theatre was attended by a large and en
thusiastic audience. Tne principal event
was the address of ex Seetetary John W.
Foster on the condition of the missions
and natives from Palestine to Japan. He
said in speaking of the recent Chinese
outrages that Americans should be
chary of condemning th m without con
sideration. They were no more cruel
and no more discreditable to the
authorities than the Wyoming massacre
of Chinese in 1892. Moreover the
Chinese government was even now
negotiating for the purishment cf the
guilty parties and for the payment of
damages, whereas in the United States
the guilty parties were never punished
ami the payment of the damages was
delayed. His statement was loudly ap
plaud d.
A 'dresses on the work in their several
dioceses were made by Bishops Leonard,
of Utah; Brewer, of Montana; Gray, of
Southern Florida; Graves, of the Platte;
Kendrick, of New Mexico, and Ferguson,
of West Africa.
A large audience was present at the
afternoon mission session at the Lyceum
Right Rev. Bishop Spaulding, of Colo
rado, presided. Bishop Johnson, of
Western Texas, said that he repented a
section covered by 110 000 square miles.
He showed the increase in churches aud
schools to have been remarkable during
the past twenty one years. At present
the Diocese had forty churches, twenty
four ministers, 2 3UO communicants and
two schools for boys and girls respect
ively.
Right Rev. Bishop Talbott, of Wyom
ing aud Idaho said: “We have fewer
people in Wyoming than we had a few
years ago and fewer in Idaho than we
had eight years ago. The loss, however,
has its compensations. We" have more
churches and more clergymen than any
other re’igious body whatever. We have
built 38 churches, 15 in Wyoming and
12 in Idaho.
Many of them have been built entirely
by the people, without any help from the
bishops or outside sources. We have
also made progress in the matter cf
Christian education. Wo have a school
for girls in Boise City, Idaho, erected at
a cos' of S3O 000, that is self supporting.
Bishop Walker, cf North Dakota, said
of the churches’ material condition that
it had twenty-six churches, thirteen of
which were entirely out of debt. They
have twelve clergymen and 1,050 com
municants; also four missions among the
Indians.
Bishop Wells, of Spokane, after ex
tolling the great mater ial resources of
his section of the country, said he was
working with nine clergymen and eleven
divinity students.
We have a new school for boys, said
he “We have built a few churches and
have a few more communicants, but the
great thing that impresses me is the
large number of places into which we
can not go.”
In the absence of the Bishop of Olympia
and the Bishop of Utah, Bishop Spauld
ing spoke of the mission work in western
Colorado.
DR. KILGO AT WAKE FOREST.
His Lecture Friday Evening on Christ
as an Educator.
Special to the News and Observer.
Wak* Forest, N. C., Oct. 5.
At 7 o’clock fast, night a large audience
in Memorial Hall greeted President
Kilgo, of Trinity College, with enthu
siasm, as he rose to speak after Dr. Tay
lor's presentation. After some intro
ductory pleasantries and the expression
of his delight at being in Wake county,
the home of his great-grandfaiher and
grandfather,and Wake Forest College,
he announced as his subject, “Christ 'm
a i Educator.” It was not customary, he
said, to think ot’ Christ as a maD, a citi
zen, a patriot, an educator, but rather
as more or less removed from our ordi
nary life and enveloped in the mysteries
of the redemption which he wrought
out for mankind. Nevertheless, the secret
and efficacy of his work in this latter re
lation were dependent upon his unique
fulfilment of the former relatioas. Di*.
Kilgo announced Lis belief that the
greatest issues involving our civilization
are connected with education, and parsed
to the analysis of Christ’s principle and
mtih'd.
Christ produced the greatest energies,
and initiated the widest and most per
manent influences, that have ever come
into human history. Our pr. sent civil
ization is its immediate product. Why
piass him by for scch educational theo
rista as Rousseau ? His influence as a
teacher was the result of his conception
of the dignity and the d stiny of man, a
conception which found early utterance :
“Man shall not live by bread alone, bat
by every word that proceedetb out of
the mouth of God.” There is somewhat
in man’s nature which is above ma
terial satisfactions, and it is
that which characterizes him. Ev
ery educational institution and system
is marked by the view which it takes of
human nature. The “industrial” and
the “practical education,” about which
many are so wild, in reality debauches
man and degrades him from Christ’s
high ideal to a beast of burden and a
vacuity to be filled with bread.
The aim of Christ as an educator was
to give life and to give it more abun
dantly. That life had its source in his
own living personality, for he said,
“Because I live, ye shall live also.”
The aim of all education is to produce
more life, and that depends, not on
piles of bricks, and air-pumps, and dead
fish in bottles, and gas bags, and bones,
but on the personality of the teacher
able to arouse and influence the whole
being of the pupil.
But the education which is animated
by the Christian spirit and based upon
the Christian ideal is said to be sectarian
and narrow. “Show me the man who is
broader than Christ, who thinks more
universally than Christ, and I will leave
Christ for him, and the Master will bid
me go. Socrates thought for Greece,
Caisar thought for Rome, Buddha
thought for the east, Mohammed thought
for his own gratification. Christ thought
for all men of all times.”
A Christless education, in the speaker’s
view, was the peril of our civilisation,
aud, of much that was said, it was the
clear implication that institutions sup
ported by public taxation could give no
other.
These were perhaps the main ideas of
the address; but they were elaborated with
somuch of vivid detail, and enlivened with
a wit so keen and virile, and illuminated
with such graphicness of illustration,
and suffused throughout with so warm
a glow of elevated enthusiasm, that this
report appears quite lifeless aud ineffec
tual.
It was not a plea for Christian educa
tion, but a triumphant assertion of its
essential dignity and necessity.
For an hour and three quarters the
audience were in that delightful condi
tion of unstable equilibrium wherein
gravity and elevation of thought are
ever on the verge of tumbling into an
abyss of laughter.
Prof. Jerome Dowd, of Triuity Col
lege, accompanied President Kilgo. They
arrived on the afternoon of Friday and
left by the early train next morning.
LIBERTY BELL IN VIRGINIA.
An Unseemly Incident While the Relic
W'a* in Petersburg.
Petersburg, Va., Oct. s.—An inci
dent which occurred here this evening
at a receptiou given to the Liberty
Bell is the talk of the town to night.
A member of tho Philadelphia Escort
Committee leaned from the platform
of the car on which the bell was
rigged, and, lifting a small negro baby
fr. m the arms of its mother wrapped it
in the American flag and seated it upon
the beam from which the bell was hung.
The incident sent a ehill through the
residents and although there was no
hisses or other demonstration of dissatis
faction, many of them turned on their
heels and walked away.

MURDERED BY A MOB
THE TERRIBLE TORTURE OF A
YOUNG NEGRO R \ PINT IN
TENNESSEE.
WAS LITERALLY SHOT TO PIECES
He Wes Taken From a Stockade by a
Mol> ol Two Hundred Men and Led
to the Point Where the Assanlt Was
Committed, and There Mutilated iu
a Frightful Manner bv the Girl’s
Father—He Was Then Shot to Death
and His Body Burned.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 5 —The de
tails 6f the lynching of Neal Smith, the
negro rapist at Coal City, which fact was
reported in these dispatches last night,
are as follows:
Smith was taken from the stockade
used for confining prisoners by a mob of
not less than two hundred men. The
sheriff and jailer, Ed. Cox, with several
men. were on guard, but the crowd re
fused to listen to reason, and threatened
to tear down the stockade and burn it
unless Smith was delivered. Smith was
then turned over to the crowd, who led
him to a point near where the assault
was committed.
He confessed his guilt and was then
treated to a torture which is unparalleled
in history.
After being mutilated in a frightful
manner by the father, Wm. Henderson,
who subsequently cut off the negroes
ears, he was seized and held while one
of the crowd pounded his fingers, joint
by joint, one finger at a time, until the
hand was a shapeless mass of blooly
jelly..
This was because in the struggle
to subdue Miss Henderson he had
bitten off one of her fingers. Each
man in the crowd then took a turn at
shooting at him, until, When he died, he
must have had four or five pounds of
lead in him.
He was literally shot to pieces, and
the bloody pulp which only an hour
before had been Neal Smith, was thrown
into a hastily prepared pile of brush
wood and burned until not a scrap of
bone remained.
Miss Henderson, his victim is dying.
Mob Riddled Him With Ballets.
Birmingham, Ala., October s.—Tobe
McGrady, a colored youth, assaulted
Mrs. Gus Berry, the young wife of a re
spectable farmer near Perote, Ala. He
was arrested a few hours afterwards by
Sheriff Chancey. On the way to jail, a
mob of citizens met and stopped the
sheriff’s buggy. The negro was allowed
by the sheriff to jump and run to escape
the mob. As he ran, a fusilade of shots
was fired after him, and he was riddled
with bullets. The mob left him where
he was and quietly went home.
THREE FOR CLEVELAND.
Baltimore Beaten Again Yesterday
by Superior Playing.
Cleveland, O , Oct. s.— Cleveland
made it three straight to day in the
windup of the games for the Temple Cup
in this city. An immense crowd was at
League Park loDg before trie hour set for
beginning the the game. At least 12,000
people were in the stands, on the field
and perched on the fences surrounding
the park. The game was won by the
Clevelands by superior playing. The vis
itors were unable to hit Young effectively,
while McMahon was pounded for seven
siugles and tour doubles, three of which
would have been three-taggers at least
but for the ground rules. Cleveland
won in the first inning with three runs.
The home team chalked up three more
in the seventh on Blake’s two bagger to
•enter, singles by McGarr and Young,
Burkett’s sacrifice. McKean’s long fly and
Kelley’s wild throw to the plate.
The Orioles got their only run in the
eighth. McGraw singled, but was forced
out at second by Keeler. Tnen Jennings
cracked out a single which advanced
Keeler to third and he scored on Kelley’s
single to right. Doubles by Zimmer and
