TAMPA, Fla., July 28.—Passengers arriv- Ing by the Plant steamship from Cuba tonight state that in the battle at Valenzuela Campos’ men numtered 1,600 and the insurgents num- bered 2,600. By the vigllance of the Spanish advance pickets the led into the Cuban stronghold, but sheered c into a plain, where the forces met, The in- surgents Killed all the Spanish horses in order to capture what provisions, arms and ammunition they bore and to cut off Cam- pos’ escape. Two mounted pickets their mounts to Campos and a companion, who reached Bayamo at 2 o'clock in the morning. The insurgent losses were between eighty and 100, while the Spanish loss is sald to have been more than 700. In this engagement Benitz had 200 men under his command, of which but twenty-five sur- vived. General Maximo Gomez's headquarters are now at Nagasa, which Is of easy access to a number of the principal cities Colonel Maribel, commanding 100 men, hovers between Puerto Principe and Neuvitas, intercepting all provisions and live stock He also tears up all the rails and otherwise desteoys the railroads. It s said Spaniards in Havana desire Campos to institute a reign of terror by slaughtering Cubans indiscrim- tnately. They do not want him to be 80 conservative. J.About the 20th a small bill was circulated in Havana urging that in the review on the 24th, which was the queen’s birthday, the _proper action would be taken to visit the Cubans and get Sanguilly, Aguerre and Gomez and put a rope around their necks and drag them through the streets The Atlanta, arriving there on the morning of the 22, caused a suspension of the out- rages. The review did not occur. Sanguilly, now in New York, received letters from his imprisoned brother, advising him of the con- templated move, and Manuel Sanguilly at once notified the secretary of state. The departure of the Atlanta from Key West im- mediately followed. When the Atlanta re- turned to Key West she was placed in quar- antine. Campos Is expected in Havana to- morrow or Tuesday. THINK CAMPOS MET DEFEAT. LONDON, July 28.—The Times has a dis- pateh from Havana which says: Accounts of the fight on the road between Bayamo, in which General Santocildes killed, which have been published hitherto, were under censorship and largely im- aginary, No official account has yet been re- celved from Captain General Campos. The government admits that three officers and seventy men were killed. The general impression here is that Captain General Campos met @ distinct reverse, All the mules and horses were killed by his order, so that he lost his train baggage. Campos himself arrived at Bayamo on foot The dead and wounded were left on the field. 1t Is stated in official circles that Cap- tain General Campos went {0 Bayamo against { the adyice of the general commanding at Manzanillo, because he had heard that the insurgents intendcd to occupy the town and proclaim a provisional government. FIELD MASS CELEBRATED. HAVANA, July 28—This morning field mass was celebrated under a canvas tent in Prado by the Lishop of the new cavalry squad- ron of commerce of Havana. General Ar- derius, general of the eivil guards, and hun- dreds of ladies of the best society ‘were pres- ent. After the mass the bishop blessed the banner. The sponsor was the daughter of the marquis of Pinar del Rio. The banner was handed by General Arderius, as sponsor, (o the color bearer. They swore loyalty to’ the fiag and to the King., The trooping of the flag and tho kissing of the sword of the com- mander, which was placed in the form of a cross with the flag, followed, after which a sulute was fired After a patriotic speech by the bishop a procession marched "through the city, pre- caded by a vanguard of the guides of the captain general and by bands of music. The bouses were decorated and the streets and plazas were crowded with people, cheering and throwing flowers and doves. The great est enthusiasm prevailed. The procession then deflled before the palace in the presence of General Arderius. The squidron has been formed and will be sustained during the war period by a patriotic club of Havana busines men. STRONG First-Class Fi the Rel surgents. PHILADELPHIA, July 28.—The Press will publish the following tomorrow: By Tuesday or Wednesday of this week there will be in Cuban waters the largest expedition from ¢his country that has yet left. It will be under the command of Colonel Enrique Col- lazo, who arrived in this country about July § and since that time has been preparing for the expedition. The ship is fitted out as a warship and is capable of a speed of fifteen knots an hour and has made nineteen. About ten days ago a trial trip was made oft Sandy Hook. She was at onc accepted and the money pald. Clearance papers were “obtained and the vessel put to sea. An con- tingent of about tweuty-five loyal Cubans skilled {n shipwrights and experienced men- or-wars men were shipped on another ve sel and trausterred to her on the high seas Rapid firing four and six-inch guns were pur chased and these, with two Gatling guns were sent out fn the same vessel, and by the time the boat reaches Cuban waters she will have giute a formidable battery in posi tion. What fs needed more than anything else by the insurgents is sald to be aboard the vessel. There is sald to have been loadel from this city 3,000 Remington rifles and 50,- 000 pounds of ammunition. The rifles and ammunition are £aid to have been shipped to this eity by the manufacturers, or rather to a point near this city, and loaded on ve sels on points down the river and bay. They were then carrled out on the high seas anl thete transferrel to the vessel purchased by the insurgents. Everything was comploted for sailing Saturday night, and the vessel 18 now believed to be on the way to Cuba Among those who are enrolled Is a former afficer of the United States navy, an officer of the Natfonal Guard and four or five mer who served throughout the late civil war. The names of these people will not be made known till the vessel lands its men on Cuban For obvious reasons the name of ! vessel has also been kept quiet. As soon as the Oubans are recognized as belligerents by rome forelgn country, the vessel will be p: ghased by the iusurgents. When this is done the Cuban flag will be raised on her and she will be named in all probability the Presi- detne Marti, in honor of the late leader of e Insurgen This recognition la expected from a South or Central American republic in a very few days. The first step toward this will be tsken in a day or 50, if It has not already been taken. It is the purpose of those on the Islind to wet up a provisional government at Manzanill or Bayamo cr some other point in a day or %. If the advices recoived by the local Cubans to the effect that eGueral Martinez @e Campos !s now practically a prisoner in Bayamo are correct, the new government will in all probability be set up at that point parish troops were not arriving, they gave an IXPEDITION FITTED OU sxel Gone to mperor Willlaw at Potsdam, BERLIN, July 28.—Rmperor Willlam his returned (o Potsdam after his cruise to Fin- lend.

BODIES TAKEN FROM THE DARK ROOM Disfignred Cadavers Found Lying on the ch in the “Operating Room"” of Sixty-Third Street Castle. CHICAGO, July 28.—Tnspector Fitzpatrick believes it to be certain that at least three murders were committed in the “Castle” of Holmes, and through witnesses that were found yesterday it is thought now that Holmes can be convicted of murder in this The police have found a man, whose they refuse to divulge. He told the that he had Holmes, and name police for that the Holmes' skeletons: were xty-third house. One of these was that of a man and the others were women. They were taken from a dark room in Holmes house in ihe night, and two of the mounted skeletons were returned to Holmes. The third skeleton is in the possession of Inspector Fitzpatrick. The bones of the bod- fes had not been “fleshed” when the bodies were given 1o the new witness, but the faces were €0 badly lacerated and torn that iJentification would have been impossible. The police also found an expressman who was able to give what the police think is important testimony. The name of the ex- pressman is Charles Humphrey, and in the month of June, 1893, he was hired by Holmes to deliver a box and a trunk at the union depot in this city. The box, according to Humphrey, was taken from a dark room and had the appearance of a coffin box. This was expressed to Philadelphia, while the trunk wak sent in another direction. The story of the man who articulatel the now skeletons 13 to the effect that in June, 1893, | he was sent for by Holmes, who at that time was going under the alias of Gordan, and asked If he would articulate the skele- ton of a main whose body was in the pos- session of Holmes. He accepted the job, and was taken by Holmes to a room which would have been dark even in daytime. Stretched out on a table in the midile of the room was the body of a man. The skin had been entitely removed from the face, but in all other respects the body was in good condi- tion. The articulator and Holmes had some talk as to the best way of taking the body from the house, as Holmes said he did not want the neighbors to see the boiy removed It was finally agreed that the articulator should cut off the arms, and Holmes should provide for the removal of the rest of the corpse. This was done, and the articulator left the house, carrying the arms with him in a sack. Heshal just reached his house and was preparing to go to bed, when he was called to the door by a loud knocking. He went, and found Holmes and another man. They had the balance of the body, which had been cut in two more pleces after the articulator had left the houte. Holmes left after remarking that ne would have an- other fob for the man in a short time. CARED FOR TWO WOMEN. True b his word, in December he sent for the articulator a second time and upon the arrival of the latter at the hous: of Holmes he was taken to the same dark ro , where on the same table where the body of the man had lain on the occasion of his first visit was the body of a young woman. The face of this corpse had been disfigured in such a manner that it was impossible to tell what she had looked like when alive. In January, 1893, the articulator was sent for a third time by Holmes and in the same room on the same table he found the boly of & second young woman, from whose face all the skin had been removed. The articulator had this body taken to his home, where he stripped the bones and mounted the skeleton. When he called on Holmes for his pay the latter refused to give it to him, and was moreover somewhat in arrears on the bill for mounting the two other skeletons. The two men could mot come to terms and the dispute finally ended by the articulator re taining possession of the third skeleton, an: he still has it in his house. He removed the skull and brought it to the Central police station, where it now is. The ‘articulator will be kept under close survelllance for some days yet, as the police do not think he has told all he knows about the murders in the “‘Castle.”” The police de- clare now that they have almost positive proof that the first female body was that of Bmeline Cu and and the second that of Annie Willlam: It is the skull of Annle Williams that is now at the Central station WHAT THE EXPRESSMAN SAW. The story of the expressman is to the effect that he was hired by Holmes one afternocn and told not to come to the house until after nightfall. The expressman kept his appoint- ment. He was given a trunk and a box by Heimes and told to take them to the union depot. When he was putting the box into the wagon he turned it on end and was at once stopped by Holmes, who told him that he was on no account to keep the box in any other position except flat on the side. He was ordered to take the box and trunk to the depot and leave them on the end of the platform, and was told that they would be taken care of. He saw only one man at the Vepdt who seemed to be interested in the trunk and box, and drove away. After Humphrey had told his story Pat Quinlan wag brought from his cell and the two were brought face to face. The police will not tell why this was done, but the general opinion is that it was because Humphrey recognized Quinlan as the man at the depot, In prosecuting te investigation basement of the big brick house on Sixty- third and Wallace streets the workmen em- ployed by the police came upon a grave. The indications are that In the grave were laid the bodies of two women. Lime and quick- il had accomplished their work and the bodies had largely turned to native dust, but there still remiined sufficient evidence to make the identification possible. Two soft spots In the bed of hard clay were the same size of human bodies, and where the heads would have been were mats of long hair. One big strand was of light color, while the ther was of the brown hue of Minnie Wil- liams' hair, of the GAVE HORR A DADDY DOLLAR. Harvey Hands Hix Op the Euarly Coined CHICAGO, July 28.—In closing the debate yesterday Mr. Harvey handed Mr. Horr as a souvenir a silver dollar of 179, with the word “Unit” upon it.

Governor Richards of Wyoming insists in very strong terms that the Indfans will be taught that when they are in Wyom- ing they must obey the state laws. He ob- jects to having the settlers of northwestern Wyoming harassed and frightened by bands of Indfan hunters from other states.

There is only one pass that is practicable at this time through the Uinta mountains f®m the Ulinta |reservation, and that is being c'osely guarded. Little danger need be apprehended from this source, as a dozen men could hold the pass against 100 Indians, The worst feature is that before the sheriff arrived severul bands went north, how many cannot be ascertained, as they moved mostly at night. Troops cannot possibly reach Marysvale before Tuesday or Wednesday.

Governor Richards reached home from Rock Springe, Wyo., this morning. He has been kept posted on the situation at Jack- son's Hole by Adjutant General Stitzer. The rumors of the massacre of sixteen families by Indians is reported by Adjutant General Stitzer as being utterly false. He says, how- ever, that an attack is feared. The settlers have taken their families to Marysvale, where they feel confiient of warding off an attack nces tiat Adjutant General Schwan of the Depart- ment of 4he Platte said last evening he had no-notice of any erders for a movement of the Seventeenth Infantry. All day there was great activity around the headquarters of the department, but the officers said there was no news to give out INERAL COJ THE ROW. WASHINGTO ~—Dispatches re- celved at army headquarters here today from General Coppinger show that the force of cav- alry ordered to Jackson's Hole, the scene of the Indian troubles in Wyoming, s making its way there and will probably reach the place by Tuesday night. In addition another troop has been ordered to Market Lake from Fort Russell, so as to be In readiness for active work should thelr service be required. No mention is made of further trouble, and with the known peaceable attitude of the In- dians on the Washakie and Duschesne reser- vation the situation is regarded as very much simplified. General Coppinger's substantially as follow squadron of cavalry lef: Market Lake at 5 p. m. Saturday and will probably reach farysvale, near Jackson's Hole, on Little Green Tree lake, Tuesday night. Constant communication - between the two points (Marysvale and Market Lake) will be kept p by courfer lines. Two Indlans and the chiefs of the Shoshones and Bannocks from the Fort Hall reservation lef: Market Lake this (Saturday) morning to join Major Chaf- fee." Another dispatch from General, Coppinger states that the road to Marysvale, except ten miles through the Eton pass, is reported as good. Five companies of the Eighth in- fantry left Fort Russell Saturday afternoon to be held at Market Lake as a reserve force. The commanding officers of Fort Washakle, Wyo., and Fort Duschesne, Utah, report that the Indians on their respective reservations are not involved in_the hostile movement Agent Teter of the Fort Hall reservation is erroute with the department commander to Marysvale. The companies of the Elghth in fantry will reach Market Lake Monday morn ing. The statement that the Indians Washakie and Fort Duschesne re not involved in the prese regarded by the officers of the army as very important. The Shoshones are under the direction of the agent at the former reserva- tion and the Utes under the agent at the latter, so it is felt that there will be no trouble experienced from them. This condi- tion of affairs b makes the situation much easier to handle, for with but one tribe of Indians to deal with the uprising can be much more easily suppressed. There are now four troops of cavalry on thelr way to Marysvale and five more will reach Market Lake tomorrow, which makes the available force all, it is hoped, that will be necessary to quell the disturbance latest dispatch reads “‘Major.

NEW YORK, July 28.—The Hebrew cloth- ing makers of this city are on a strike. The trouble has been brewing between the taflors and contractors for some time and today culminated in the general strike which was forecasted yesterday. It was asserted by the strikers that 16,000 workers have re- sponded to the United Brotherhood of Tailors. and not only this, but Brooklyn, New York and Brownsville are affected. The number out in this city is 9,000. The United Brotherhood of Taflors had hoped the strike might be averted until Sep- tember, when the agreement for the year be tween workers and contractors would expire and when it would naturally cease until a new -agreement had been reached. The workers assert that the contractors were not willing to wait and now, when there is plenty of business, they will foree a strike, They insist that the.contractors broke-the terms of the existing agreement by refusing to pay their hands on the day specified, and that better to insure the success of their scheme to force a strike they locked out several hundred of their employes The contractors allege that work Is slack and that so few were their orders that they were compelled to knock off some of thir men. They deny having any unwillingness to live up to the terms of agreement and that they were anxlous to force the men to the action taken today. But, however these things may be, one thing is certain, the tallars were dissatisfied, and they demon- strated It by responding instantly to the call issued by the United Brotherhood of Tailors, the leading spirit of which is Mr. Choppell, who styles himself “official organizer of the United Garment Workers of America.” The wages demanded Is for operators, $15; pasters, $13; pressers, $10; bushlers, $10; trimmers, §10; twisters, $9. They also' insist that all members of the brotherhood out be | reinstated and that the brotherhood have access to the shops to investigate grievances and see that the employes have their “‘due books' as proof of their membership in the union. TO OPEN & Sixteen NIVERSITY. Widow of Its Found Funds at a SAN FRANCISCO, July 28.—Mrs. Leland Stanford has been at Palo Alto consulting President Jordan about the opening of Stan- ford university in September. Mrs. Stanford's finances will not permit of any expenditures that are not absolutely necessary, but she will be able to furnish money to run the fn- stitution on the same plan as last year. Mr. Jordan has submitted estimates show- ing the university can be conducted without impairing its efficiency for $16,000 a month Mrs. Stanford, In order to raise money, will sell off the stock on the Palo Alto ranch There are now on the farm 600 head of fine horses. One auction sale wiil be held in New York and another in San Francisco. The income from the Palo Alto and Vina ranches has not been large enough to keep the university going, and in order to keep it open Mrs, Stanford has been obliged to hypothecate some of her raflroad bonds, and the same course will be necessary to secure funds for the support of the university dur- ing the coming year. It Is understood that she is negotiating a heavy loan on bonds of the Southern Pacific of Arizona and New Mexico. - Owing to this financial Mrs. Stanford is very government sult against the estate settled as soon as possible. It is understood that an agresment has been reached among counsel to have the proper papers filed with the court of appeal at a very early date.

FALL RETURNS PROMISE TO BE IMMENSE Reports from Reliable Aments Ind that Nebrasks Will Beat All Her Previous Re ords With This Year's Crop. ente Nebraska's small grain harvest for the year 1895 is practically ended, and the eyes of the husbandman are turned with expectancy to the corn crop, now rapidiy ripening under most favorable clrcumstances. The smal grain harvest has been bountiful beyond the most sanguine expectations, while the corn from the present outlook, promises to be by far the largest ever grown in the his- tory of Nebraska. These conclusions are based upon conserva- tive made to The Bee by reliable correspondents in nearly every county of the state. These reports mailed on July at which time harvest had been com- pleted or was, at least, in full blast. Many pleces of small grain in these counties had already been threshed and it fs believed that the estimates of the average yield of small grain are both conservative and reliable. A perusal of the reports from the individual counties as presented, followlng, will bring out the prominent fact that the acreage of corn has been largely increased over former years, There Is a ready explanation for this fact. Two years ago Nebraska met with blunt reversals in her agricultural productions. Tn 1893 and 1894 small grains had failed to pro= duce a crop. At the opening of the present year the farmers, discouraged by their lack of success with small grains, naturally turned to the surer crop, corn. Again, thousands of acres of fall wheat and rye were plowed up and replanted to corn. The relfance of the farmer in the great staple crop of Nebraska has this year not been mi placed, for, unless some calamitous mishap intervenes, the state will harvest a crop of corn greater than any in its history. AVERAGE YIELD FAR EXCEEDED, Taking the state in its entirety, wheat, rye and barley have produced more than an average crop. The.crop of oats will be far above the average, the yield In many of the counties being so large as to almost chal= lenge credulity. Next to her grain, Nebraska will produca a crop of potatoes which easily promises to beat the record. The year has been unusu- ally favorable to this great food product, and every county of the state will have thousands of bushels for the market, beyond the needs of home consumption Another noticeable crop, reports to were feature of the results of agriculture in Nebraska this year is the marked increase in the acreage of alfalfa. This comparatively new—to Nebraska— product is destined to become a great factor in the agricultural wealth of the state. In the counties where fts value has become recognized it is already established, whils the farmers who in other counties have this year undertaken its culture as an experi- ment have become convinced of its great Im- portance and will give it added attention in the future. The hay crop has and corn crops ample supply, but for market The year has not been altogether favorable to fruits, although the older counties report a large crop of apples. Late frosts did m terial damage to peaches, grapes and small fruits. Naturally some sections of the state have been more favored than others, but In no year of the recent history of Nebraska have generous rains been so evenly distributed over the entire state. There Is a small section of Nebraska south of the Platte river, and between the extreme eastern and western counties, which has suffered for lack of rain. But reports reaching The Bee last night indi- cate that this section was: visited early Sunday morning by good rains, some locali- ties reporting as much as two inches. The:e rains, while too late to affect small grains, will be of great benefit to corn. There is but little to be feared from the hot winds, which blasted the crops of the state one year ago. Grain Is already safe and corn fs strong and hardy enough to withe stand hot weather, Kept pace with the grain and the state has produced an not only for its own needs, MISSOURI RIVER COUNTIES, rt the I Raixed in Their History. The old and thickly populated counties along the Missourl river from Douglas to the county line report magnificent crops of small grain, with the most flattering outlook for a large yleld of corn. These counties those suffered by the late arly in the season; warm which set in May 30 worked a wonderful change in crop prospects Small grain and corn recovered from the cts of earlier unfavorable weather and the counties with exception report the largest crops In thelr history DOUGLAS—Wheat acreige sam and 1894 present condition good; average yleld thirty bush Oats about the same; present condition good; will average twenty= five bushels.
