Some of the older delegates of the congregation of the Company of Jes- units are suffering from the seclusion and fasting entailed by the quadriv- ium. Anti-clerical societies wishing to protest against the growth of the religious orders in Rome, are organiz- ing at Castle Gandolfo, the former summer residence of the popes. AS Cardinal Merry Del Val, the papal sec- retary, is there, it is most likely that the people will prevent the meeting from being held. Four men were killed and eight seri» ously injured by an explosion aboard the Russian armored cruiser Rurik, which is being built at the Vicker- Maxim works at Barrow, England. The accident is attributed to the con- tact of a lighted naphtha lamp to in- flammable gases.

IN INTERVENTION BELIEVED TO BE ONLY WAY OF STOPPING CONFLICT. Havana, Sept. 11.— Government, military and railroad officials and the newspapér = correspondents wer? thrown into a state of excitement last evening by men who had arrived here from Paso Real with stories that the armored train which left Havana Friday had met with various obstacles beyond Herradura, had been thrown from the tracks and its 300 men, ma- chine guns, horses and equipment captured. As these tales were con- firmed by the Western railroad’s first telegraphed advices from Paso Real they were believed to be true until’au- thentic reports of actual occurrences were wired by those who had return- ed to Paso Real from the scene. Insurgents Driven Off. The real facts of the case are that Col. Avalos, who was believed to be surrounded in Pinar del Rio city, and the armored train made a junction east of Consolacion del Sur and the government forces to that extent are, improved. The news of this fact caused much relief in official circles. The train proceeded Saturday even- ing to two and one-third miles east of Consolacion del Sur, at which point thé rails had been removed, and re- placed a locomotive and three cars which had been thrown from the track. The insurgents_attacked, but were driven off by two machine guns, handled by the American, Capt Web- ster. Lively Fight Ensues It is believed that many insurgents were killed, but the number is not known. Meanwhile a large portion of Col. Avalos’ force had come eastward from Pinar del Rio for the purpose Cis making a junction with the machine gun corps. At Consolacion del Sur their advance was disputed by a large band of insurgents and a lively fight ensued. The insurgents were driven off and several of them were killed or wounded. Avalos and his men contin- ued their journey eastward yesterday morning and made a junction, first with the cavalry force of Cant. Ra- venna, which is scouting ahead, and finally with the disabled troop train. Two Hundred Rebels Are Killed. Reports received by the government say that 200 insurgents were killed in the encounter near Consolacion del Sur, but these figures are not consid- ered to be authentic. The veterans’ peace committee con tinues hopeful of being’ able to per. suade Pino Guerra to cease activities temporarily and possibly of inducing him to come to Havana and join in the negotiations for peace; but the at- titude of the leading Liberals contin. ues To Preclude Hopes of an immediate peace. At the veter- ans’ meeting yesterday afternoon a resolution was formally adopted to use all peaceful means to stop the war, and if these failed that a suffi- cient army should be raised to crush it by force. Meantime intervention by the United States is being discussed ot all sides. Many Cubans who hitherto were not favorable to intervention now believe that it will be the only means of placing Cuba permanently in her rightful position. YANKEE EIGHT SECOND BEST. Cambridge Wins Hard Race on the Theames. Putney, Eng., Sept. 11.—Saturday’s boat race between crews from Har- vard and Cambridge universities. which was won by the Englishmen by two lengths, was probably the most surprising race ever rowed on the Thames, not so much because of the result, as it. had been considered any- body’s race since the crews moved to Putney, as of the way in which it was won. Cambridge, as had been feared by the supporters of Harvard and hoped for by Englishmen. got away better thai their oppoaents, securing a Jead which they maintained and which they increased to tiiree lengths before Hammersmith bridze was reached. Cambridge's time was 19 minntes 16 seconds. The record for the course is 18 min- wes 47 seconds, made by Oxford in 93. Drink Creek Water; Two Dead. Trenton, Mo., Sept. 11.—Miss Bessie Green and Miss- Alta Bingham are dead and Misses Grace Stephenson and Collie Cowhick are seriously ill as the result of drinking stagnant creek water during a picnic..

Warsaw, Sept. 11.—Terrorists Sat- urday evening shot and killed two soldiers guarding a government alco- hol store at Siedlce. A detachment of infantry rushed up and fired a volley into the crowd, killing two persons and wounding two. Yesterday mgrn- ing the terrorists retaliated by begin- ning a massacre of policemen and sol- diergs patrolling the streets, and at noon the infuriated troops attacked the Jewish quarters of Siedlce, de stroying the houses and shops. Over a Hundred Dead. It is reported that over 100 persons were killed or wounded and that the town is in flames. A regiment of infantry has been gent from Deila to Siedlce to restore order. The Jews here are panic-strickén. Alarming reports are being circulated in the city. ‘ Rebellion Gains Force. Odessa, Sept. 11—A dispatch re- ceived from Tiflis says that the insur- rectionary movement in Trans-Cau- casia is suddenly gathering great force. , The military and civil authorities are ‘at loggerheads. Georgia, Imeritia and Mingrelia are absolutely terror- ize, being dominated by revolutionists and brigands, and the viceroy has ask- ed to be replaced. JESUITS NAME FATHER WERNZ German Is Elected General of the Or- der of Society of Jesus. Rome, Sept. 11—Francis Xavier Wernz, a German, was Saturday elect- ed general of the society by the Con- gregation of the Company of Jesus, in succession to the late Father Martin. who died last May. Following the election a messenger was immediately dispatched to the Vatican to inform the pope of the choice, which to become effective re- quires the papal sanction. Although the strictest secrecy was observed, it was Iearned that two bal- lots were taken before the final choice was made. The announcement that a new general of the order had been chosen was communicated to the out- er world by the ringing of a bell. which was the signal that the meeting was at an end. Formal announcement of the election was then made to the rector of the college, and Father Al- fred Maertens. procurator general of the Jesuits, went to the Vatican to in- form Pope Pius of the company’s choice. The pontiff expressed great satisfac- tion over the selection of Father Wernz. BOLT KILLS HARVESTER. Bemidji (Minn.) Man Meets Death in Thunder Storm. Grafton, N. D., Sept. 11.—Charles Donnelly, whose home is believed to be at Bemidji, Minn., was struck by lightning ‘and killed on the farm of William Mann, near here.

He was thir- ty-four years old and unmarried. HAS RIVAL EDITOR ARRESTED. Sheriff Is Charged With Criminal Libel. Ladysmith,’ Wis., Sept. 11.—Sheriff Freer has been arrested here and bound over to the circuit court on a charge of criminal libel. Freer is the publisher of a paper here, and the complaint against him was sworn out by the editor of a rival newspaper. The trouble is the outcome of a politi- cal argument. ’ DROWNED IN CANNON RIVER. Arthur Anderson of Red Wing While Bathing. Red Wing, Minn., Sept. 11.—Ar- thur W. Anderson, aged eighteen, was drowned in the Cannon river, near this city yesterday. He, with his brother Axel, were bathing when Ar- thur was taken with cramps.

As a_ result, three men PEACE PROJECT HE SUSPENDS CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEES — DECLARES MARTIAL LAW. ORDERS ALL LEADERS ARRESTED VETERANS’ PEACE COMMISSION DENOUNCE PALMA AND JOIN REBELS. Havana, Sept. 12—President Palma last night issued a decree suspending all constitutional guarantees, with special reference to Articles XV., XVI, XVIL, XEX., XXIL, XXIII, XXIV., and XXVIL., in the provinces of Pinar. del Rio, Havana and Santa Clara. The law enforcing public order, which is equivalent to martial law, also is put in immediate effect in the three prov- inces named. : A supplemental decree has been is- sued suspending the decree of Aug. 28, pardoning repentant rebels, and ordering that all rebels be arrested and jailed. Both decrees have been communi- cated to all officers in the field. Arrest Liberal Leaders. Coincident with the issuance of the decrees, which followed last night’s decision not to yield to the peace de- mands, the government ordered the arrest of practically every prominent Liberal. Alfredo Zayas, president of the Liberal party, and several others have disappeared. Among other Liberals arrested are Congressman Florencio Villuendas, brother of Congressman Enrique Vil- luendas, who was killed in a fight with a policeman at Cienfuegos a year ago, and Congressmen Borger and Varona. Veterans Denounce Palma. When the néws of the issuance of these decrees reached the veterans’ peace commission, which was in ses- sion at the home of Gen. Menocal, there was immediate and almost unan- imous denunciation of President Palma and other members of the gov- ernment. Senor Sanguilo, independent, who was present, and who usually is mod- erate in his utterances, made an im- passioned speech, in which he declar- ed that there remained for Cubans but two roads to travel, one of honor and the other of disgrace. The gov- ernment, he said, had refused offers of endeavors to settle the difficulty pacifically, and so nothing was left but to side with its opponents. Veterans Join Rebels. Gen. Collazo and other prominent veterans made similar speeches, and Gen. Menocal coincided .with the views of the other speakers. It appears probable that most of the members cf the veterans’ peace commission will join the insurgents to-day. The government does not intend that membership in congress shall shield anybody from arrest. Senator Morun Delgado was one of the first arrested, and several representatives were quickly added to the list of pris- oners. Former’ representatives in congress and veterans are being searched for by the police. Absolutely Irrevocable, Prior to last night’s action of the government, which as given out is ab- solutely irrevocable, Gen. Menocal and Alfredo Zayas reached a definite un- TOWN MAY BE BOMBARDED ‘BOMB OUTRAGE AT RUDGUSOW- SKA RESULTS IN FORTY DEATHS. Warsaw, Sept. 12.—Artillery was used in Siedlee yesterday morning. Buildings on Plenka, Warsaw and Ale- ina streets have been destroyed. According to rep6rts received here, 200 Jews were killed and 3,000 were wounded during the outbreak. A telegram received here from Siedlce yesterday morning says the rioting and shooting there continue. The revolutionists are firing at the sol- diery from windows and the troops re- ply with volleys. The Libau infantry regiment took the principal part in the massacre. Some passengers on a through train were hit by stray shots on Sunday. A bomb was thrown In the market square of Rudgusowska, province of saw, yesterday afternoon, killing one policeman and wounding another Later another bomb was thrown at the entrance of the Zirardow Spinning works in this city, severely wounding a policeman and a janitor. . The troops thereupon fired in all directions and killed or wounded forty persons. Big Buildings in Flames. Siedice, Sept. 12.—Six buildings in the big bazaar of the city are now in flames, adding another terror to the killing and plundering which has been going on here for the last thirty-six hours. Frequent shots and occasionally volley firing is still heard in different parts of the town, but because of general panic, it is difficult to accurately’ just what is transpiring. City May Be Bombarded. A delegation of Russians asked thi governor to order the troops to cease firing, but the governor replied that the citizens must deliver up their leaders and the revolutionists or oth- erwise the city would be bombarded ‘The authorities assert that fifteen ter- rorists have arrived here from War saw and that they must be arrested before any of the inhabitants are per- mitted to leave the city. MOUNTAIN FALLS ON VILLAGE Over Two Hundred and Fifty Buried in Mire Six Feet Deep. Tiflis, Sept. 12.—Practically without warning, the side of a mountain rising above the township of Kwareli broke away, and in a sea of semi-liquid mud, sand and stones, swept down on the township and overwhelmed and oblit- erated it. Some 225 persons have been buried alive. Fifty-five bodies already have been wecovered from the mire, which is about six feet deep. In addition to the lives lost, count- tess head of cattle perished, and the crops were destroyed. Kwareli township occupies an area bf five kilometers, in the district of Telaw, in the Caucasus. Similar disasters are of common »ecurrence in Caucasian valleys. . SINGING FREES PRISONER. Woman’s Voice Is So “Bad” That She Is Ousted From Jail. Oswego, Kan., Sept. 12.—The sing- ‘ng of Mary Weathers was too bad even for the county jail, and Mary's term of imprisonment has been cut short on the condition that she and her alleged voice leave the county. Mary is a lady of color, who has spent the greater part of the last two years in the local bastile. This did not keep down her spirits, however, for Mary would sing anywhere and all derstanding as to what the Liberals would demand, and the peace commis- sioners were saying that while it was a difficult matter they had hopes of getting together. Neither Gen. Meno- cal nor Senor Zayas would give the basis of their reasons for the hope of reaching an understanding, but it is. known that the Liberals have not re- linquished their purpose of having new elections, or at least the Resignation of Palma, in favor of Gen. Menocal, Senator San- guilly or some other independent, though there is a possibility that they might accept the appointment of some Moderate as president, with the divi- sion of the other high offices with the Liberals. These claims were expect- ed to be modified after the first dis- cussion of terms. No fighting was reported vesterday and it is not considered likely that Pinar del Rio will be occupied by. Guerra, now that machine guns are proceeding in that direction. Havana and Santa Clara provinces are quict, but Santiago is reported uneasy. TEDDY, JR., SAFE AT HOME. Young Roosevelt Reaches Oyster Bay Once More. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Sept. 12.—Theo- dore Roosevelt, Jr., reached home yes- terday from the West, where he had been for several weeks on a hunting trip.

Washington, Sept. i12—The immt- gration authorities of Philadelphia yesterday reported to the department of commerce and labor a bold attempt on the part of several Armenians in that city to bribe Inspector Garbari- no, who conducted an investigation of a case of an Armenian woman recent- ly arrived at that port, suffering from have been arrested znd placed under heavy for thelr appearance oe Ph the time. Mary’s voice had the capacity of a steamboat whistle, and her musical education had been neglected. The combination wore on the nerves of the people on the outside, and they de- seended upon the county commission- ers, demanding Mary’s exile. KILLED BY PULAJANES. Officer Slain in Night Atttack by Band ¥ of 100. Manila, Sept. 12.—Lieut. E. E. Treadway of the Philippine scouts was killed last night by Pulajanes, six miles south of Barauen. He was in commend of a small detachment of scouts, whose bivouac was attacked during the night by a band of about a hundred Pulajanes. Lieut. Treadwell was the only man hit. Troops are in pursuit of the band. Sixty troopers and forty: of the con- stabulary struck a band of Pulajanes near Sitio, Maraboa, killed one and wounded several of them. The rest of the band escaped. The troops sus- tained no casualties and destroyed a large quantity of supplies gathered by the Pulajanes. Drowned While Swimming. Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 12.—Harry Bydal, aged twelve, son of Con Bydal of East Grand Forks, was drowned in Red river.
