2 THE OMAHA D AILY BEE: MONDAY B e s o S BANCROFT'S MILL DESTROVED. Loes is Almost Total on the Structure and Contents, CAUSED BY SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION. Restdents of the Town Worked Nobly bat the Fire Spread so Rapldly as Render Their Other Ne Baxcrorr, Neb,, Jan, 0. [Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.|—At this hour, 9:30, the flour pnd grist mill 1s burning and 18 almost consumed, The fire broke out in the third story of the stracture in the dust room and was caused no doubt by spoutancous coin- bustion. The fire spread so rapidly to other parts of tho building that but very httle of the con- tents could be saved. The rosidents of the town succeeded in saving in the neighbor- hood of 100 sacks of flour and about 100 bushels of wheat; other than that the whole is an entire loss with the exc 1,500 or 5,000 insurance, part of which is in the Omaha Fire [nsuranco company. The owner, Jacob Ockander, is in Omaha with stock, and ithe exact amount of insur- ance on the property catnot be ascertained. T'ne loss of the mill is a heavy blow to this thriving town, as it was running continually and doing good work, and its patrons {ncreas- ing daily. Whether it will be reouilt or not will not be known till Mr. Ockander returns Curlons Phenome Fresoxt, Neb,, Jan, 9.—[Special to Tne Bre,|—J. T. Conrad, a farmer living near Estina, Saunders county, a fow miles south of Fremout, reports a very strango case which is worthy the study of scientists. He has a bored well, ten nches in diameter and 14 feet. deep, which supplies the water for s place. From this well there Is fre- quently emitted a strong, cold breeze, with u noise like escaping steam, the current being sometimes strong enough to blow off a p son's hat, It is worse when cold weather sets in, and he can tell pretty well a day ahead when the weuther is going to turn coid. With the first cold snap this winter the pipe in the well froze up for a distance of thirty-six feet from the top. His place is a mile and a balf back from the P’latte, but the only theory that can bo advanced 8o far is thav there is some kind of an opening through to the edge of the biuff, and when the wind is from that direction it draws up through the well like a chimney in full blast.

[ [FROM YESTERDAY'S SECOND EDITION. | Revolutionists Equip a Vessel to Attack Her Seaports, FORMIDABLE PAEPARATIONS BEING MADE. Movement ot Wi Who t AreH started of the N Where the pvernment A for the Vessel, w The discovery has just becn made by Mr. Price, the Haytien minis- tor, to the United States, says the Herald, of a rovolutionary movement, having for its ob- ject the overthrow of Prosident Hippolyte of Haytl. The revolutionary party, he nas founa, nas fitted out 1n this-conatry a man- of-war equinped with all the appliances of modern warfare, which 15 intended to be used by the Haytien political exiles in Jamaica to capture Port an Prince and establish a new government, Minister Price has denounced the revolutionary movemeont to the government at Washington, and it is 10 be oxpected that the deteetive’ machinery of the State department wili be set in motion today for the capture of the man-of-war and the arrest of the agents here, Government agents will selza tho ship—if they can find her, 1How the Movement Staxted. The chances are, however; that the revolu tionary vessel is already far out to sea, where the Haytien navy will bave & morry time finding her. The revolutionary move ment is & direct result of the events of the tragic 28th of M 1801, "The passions aroused by Hippolyte’s acts on that fateful day led the men in exilein Kingston, Jamaica, to band themselves into a committee, which had for its sole object the pumshment and overthrow of Hippolyte. Thero were several men in exile in Kingston who had been promivent in the affairs of Hayti. Among them were General Francois Nanigate, Geaeral Anselme Prophete, ex-President Legitime and General Kouchard. There were other exiles of mora or less prominence, but these men wero tho acknowledged leaders. Kach man had his potitical follow- ing in Hayti. Some were in the south, some were 1n the north and some wers in the in- terior of the island. After much discussion it was resolved that the leaders sbould constitute themseives o committee of revolution, and that an_expedi- tion should be fitted out'in the United States. An agent was sent to New. York accompanied by delegates, but after the situation.had been thoroughly canvassed the movement was abandoned. Ior a time it looked as though there would be no revolutionary movement, and tho committee of reyolution gave up all hops of immediate progress. For several montns political matters in Hayti and among tho exilos in Kingston were very quiet. In fact, they wero sus- piciously quict. Early last autumn the situ- ation had apparently become so peaceful that President Hippolyte issued a manifesto of general amnesty, inviting all the exiles to re- turn to Hayti. He even went so far in his desire to get the exiles back as to sond a ship to take them to Port au Prince froe of charge. The ship returned empty, Chose n New Leader, It was during this time of peace and quiet- ness that the prescnt revolutionary move- ment was set on foot. The committee of revolution at Kingston chose a new leader and new methods. The leader was General NEW Yonx, Jan I'rancois Nanigate. It was Nanigate's in- tention to make a moyement at once, how- evir, as all of the leaders had banded them- selves together for the sucqess of the move- ment. It was decided to fit out a man-of- war in the United States and to. purchase large quantities of arms and ammunition, tho geueral plan beiug to attack Hyppolite by water in his stronghold at Port au Prince. A trustworthy agent named Francois Robert, who was a man of ability and dis- cretion, was sent to New York to confer with the friends of the movement in this city. The agent, accompanied by an assis- tant numed George S. Richet, arrived in this city early in the summer, He bad many consultations with General ~ Nanigate's friends and also with the friends of those of the revolutionary leadars, but the serious work of the movement was arranged almost solely witn the friends of Nanigate, Late in the summer it was definitely ar- ranzed that a steamer should be purchased and armed, and that this vessel, afcer being properly equipped with the supplies and munitions of war, should sail for Hayiti on or about the middle of January, 180 Raised the Sinews of War, The money with wiHich to fitout the expe- dition was raised in this city among mer- chants who have or who wished to have busi uess dealings with Hayti, The amount is said to have been close unon 500,000, The steamer was purchused in September. She was an_American built vessel, 230 feet iong and of 2,000 tons register. She was admirably adapted for the gurpnse of a man- of-war, and she had beea built extra strong for the purpose of carrying rails and heavy railway supplies. She had two screws, which drove hev at the rate of fourteen knots an our. _Sho cduld carry conl for fourteen duys steawing at full speed. After the steamer had been turned over to the revolutionary agents she lay for a short time in Tebo’s vavd, in Brooklyn, whero she was accidentaliy found by spies employed by Minister Price. She was: very' @losely watched, but the spies were thrown off the scent by & business man of this city, who as- serted that the ship belonged to him, ani that he was about to load up for Europe, After thespies weve withdrawn tbe shiv left the port for a quiet place on the south At- lantic seaboard, where the workof fitting out was begun early in Ovtober. % itlon to Avoid Discove During the three months that the cou- tractors were at work upon-the ship the utmost precaution was taken to avoid dis- covery. The ship was constantly. coaled so that she might put to sea &t .a mowent's notice. The workmen who were employed in strengthening her decks, in making the necessary alterations and in constructing tho wun carriages were not allowed to leavo the Ship oven at night, Thoy ate aund slept on board, and no one except the ‘foreman and contractor were allowed to go on or off the ship. Toward the wi¢lle of December most of the big guns bad been put ir position, and the men to manage them had been engaged. The gunners selected were retired. Umted States navy gunuers, ‘When the -work was nearly completed they were sont on’ board and were not allowed to leave. For fully three weoks the gunners, workmen and others interested in the work of preparation did not leave the ship even for a momeat. ‘I'hey wore waiting for saillug orders, which might arrive at any time, The cracking of an urmor plate detuined the vesser niore thau a week, so that it is likely that if it had not been for this accident Minister Price would have searched the coast in vain for any trace of the revolutionary ship. Armament of the 8 The ship was armed with four large hreech- loading. rified cannon, and six rapid firin guns. The largest rifle threw & fifty-poun shot and tho next largest a thirty-pound shot, The secondary battery had Titles of six-inch bore, The ship was- fitted with powerful search lights and all the appliances of a modern man-of-war, The plan of the expedition was to proceed to a selected point in Jamaioa with sufiicient arms and ammunition for the squipment of an army. The exiles at Jamaica were then to be taken on board, and the completed expedi- tion was then to descend upon Port-au- Prince, the capital of Hayti, and to make an attack by water. It was expected that the navy of Hippolyte would have little ohance with the powerful guns aud thick armor of the fleet revolutionary ship. In eo-operation with the ship, the revolutionary troops were to make a landing and sttack the city. While the man-of-war fought the vessels of the navy and pounded the forts on shore the troops were to rush through the stroets attacking Hippolyte's soldiers and inciting the populace to rise 1a rebellion. It was expected that most of the able bodied men of the city would instantly join in the causs of the revolution, thereby avenging the bloodp deeds of the 25th of May. When Hippolyte's capital should have been eaptured by tMFrvolationists o now govern. mont, would ba set up, probably with General Nanigate at thp head of it.
