THE OMANA DAILY UNDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1895 DEFEATED GENERAL MACEO Tnsurgent Commander Beriously Wounded and Carried from the Field. HIS FORCES BROKEN AND SCATTERED the to Outnumbered Were Unnble the of a Bat Cubans Grently Spanish but Withstand Fleld ire ry. 5 FHIAVANA, Oct. 5.—The most bloody battle of the present war was fought recently in the country between Sao Arribla and an Fernando, in the Holguin district of Santiago de Cuba. The Insurgents were commanded by General Antonlo Maceo, while the Spanish troops were commanded by General Ex- chalgue. The insurgents, who numbered 3,000 infantry and 800 cavalry, lay in wait for General Exchalgue, who put in an appear- ance at the head of 1,300 infantry and 300 cavalry. The Spanish troops also possessed one field cannon, General Exchalgue dis- tributed his men in admirable fashion and ar- ranged to fall at a certain spot on the pos tion held by the Insurgen They, being aware of his movements, arranged for a strong outpost to check the impetus of the Spanish troops. The regular Spanish forces pald very little attention to the small body of men stationed at the outposts and rushel to the main force wherever and whenever the insurgents conld be found. The Insurgents made a desperate resistance, which lasted several hours. The charges of the Insurgent cavalry upon the Spanish squares were not as effective as in other smaller conflicts. The Spanish cavalry held these attacking partles at bay and it sec: hough the Spanish artillery mors deadly to the insurgents than form- erly. Finally General Antonfo Maceo, secing his men in a critical situation, rushed to the front with his staff. Ha had scarcely taken a-postion iw front of the line when he fell, riously wounded. His followers at once placed him on a stretcher and succeeded in carrying him off the fleld. As soon as it was Known that General Maceo had been wounded in the conflict, all was confusion in tho ranks of the insurgents, who, according to official advices received here, were put to flight, leav- ing upon tho field twenty killed and several wounded. Spanish _ officers sald that General Maceo fell serlously in jured. Fully eighteen dead and wounded insurgents were carried off the field. These officials also say that many of the Insurgents and four of the troops aro reported to have been killed. Colonel Tovar was wounded. Ho alto firel on the Insurgents at Bayvansosa and Mendiet.

SANTA CLARA, Cuba, Sept. 20.—(Corre- spondence of the New York World—Special Telegram.)—It is announced that the cam- paign against the insurgents will be pushed at an earlier date than was anticipated. Gen- eral Campos has taken a house in this city, the ancient capital of the province, and will direct the operations from here. It is quite timo that something were done if the Span- ish army s to retain any military standing whatever. The various excuses for delay that have been offered will no longer stand. The clamor of the conservatives for action is becoming louder. Ruin of trade and of the staple industries of the island stares the business element in the face.

MINNBAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. ter attraction of the great all-day missionary rally at the Lyceum theater tolay was too much for ths house of hishops of the Epi:co- palian convention, and after transacting a tie routine business the house adjourned until Monday morning. The houss of deputles, however, satisfied with the attention it had given to missions erday, continued its work. The eommit- teo on canons recommended that a number of proposed articles referred to them be not adopted, and the report was approved. A number’ of memorials to deceased brethren was offered and a petition asking for the diviston of the diocese of Toklo, Japan, and the appointment of another bishop was re- ceived. i Rev. B. H. Ward of Kentucky presented the invitation of Louisville for the convention of 1598, It was referred to a spectal com- mittee, Judge Georgs R. Falrbanks of Florida, the interest of the proposal to divide the diocese of Florida, offered a resolution pro- viding for an easier way for the division of a diocese and the erection of missionary Jurisdictions than now exists. Objection be- ing made, the house by a vote of 196 to 60 declded to take it up. After a warm debite, in_which no conclusion was reached, the order of the day was taken up, 175 to 81. The joint committee on the Standard prayer book reported the final revision and printing of the book of common prayer on fine paper, and the distribution of copies among the dlocese and prominent institutions. A handsome vzilm volume bound in_ieather ind silver and enclosed in a carved oaken x was deiivered formally to the custodian of the standard bock of common prayer. This volume, a marvel of the printer’s and hook- binder's art, was held aloft in Secretary Hutchins' hand while the house rose to is feet. In committes of the whole the constitu- tionel revision report was taken up, B. F. Wilder of Minnesota offered an amendment to thy amendment of James S, Boddle of Penn- sylvania, requiring the house of bishops to report to the house of deputies within three days their disapprobation of any measure end the reasons for it. Mr. Wilder wanted to add the words “As long as the house of bishops shall sit within closed doors.”” This was aimed at the exccutive session and ocea- sioned a warm but indecisive debate. The principal social function of the day is the re- ception tendered by Mrs. Doretius this after- noon, followed tonight by a dinner to twenty- one of the leading church dignitaries. The committee on new dioceses reported, recommending the division of the dioceses of Maryland, Kentucky and California. The re- port was adopted without debate. The missionary rally at the Lyceum theater was attended by a large and enthusiastic assamblage, The prine‘pal event was the ad dress of ex-Secretary John W. Foster on the Board of Missions, and natives from Pales- tine to Japan. He said in speaking of the re- cent Chinese outrages that Americans should be chary of condemning them without con- sideration.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.—Ths case of Major George A, Armes, retired, who was arrested some days ago by order of Licutenant Gen- eral Schofield, acting secretary of war, came up today before Judge Bradley of the supreme court of the District of Columbla. Soon after his arrest the major was released on a writ of habeas corpus made returnable today. When the case was called today counsel for General Schofleld asked permission to file a return amendatory of the original return al- ready filed. This proposition was combatted by Armes’ counsel, but the court decided to aliow the amended return to be filed subject to whatever action he might see fit to take later in the cose. In the course of argument it was contended on behalf of Armes that as a retired officer of the army he was not under the jurisdic- tion of General Schofield as acting secretary of war. He was, however, subject to certain rules and articles of war, but only such as applied to his condition as a retired officer. In this condition, it was contended, he could not be arrested for disrespect to his superior officer, and it was a perversion of official duty to place him under arrest. The articles of war conferring power to arrest applied only to officers on the active list. Counsel also stated that it was his opinion that Gen- eral Schofield knew that the arrest was ir- regular, and by his amended return made an attempt to justify himeelf on the ground that committed in his presence. The original re- the offense was a ilitary one and had been turn, it was said, disclosed no cause for the arrest, and an attempt had been made to remedy this defect by offering an evasive and contradictory return as an amendment. The fact that no copy of the charges had been furnished Captain Armes, it was asserted, was a fatal defect, as the regulations speci- fleally state that coples of the charges upon which an arrest is made must be furnished within twenty-four hours after the arrest, or the accused must ba released. This regula- tion applied to enlisted men, and when, he asked, has the administration of military jus- tice been more tender (o a private than to an officer. The whele proceeding, it was con- tended, was irregular and did Captain Armes a grievous wrong Chief Clerk Morrisson of the office of the Judge advccate general of the army replied on behalf of General Schofield. He maintained that Captain Armes is a member of the mili- tary establishment of the United States, and that he had been proceeded against strictly accordin to the articles of war. Retired officers of the army were subject to the same regulations in this regard as those on the active list. He con- tended there was no difference or dietinction in the punishment of offenses by court mar- tial proceedings because an officer happened to be on the active or on the retired list. The latter had practically the same relation to the army as an officer on the active list enjoying a leave of absence. Mr. Morrison upheld the legality of the arrest as an initia- tory step in military proceedings, which in practically all cases preceded the making of formal charges. As to the giving of informa- tion to Armes of the charges against him it was sufficient that h> had been in contempt within eight days, the military law differing from the civil in this matter. Armes had been insubordinate. After further argument the court adjourned without conclusion having been reached by it. o Pl tie GENERAL ML i ~The coun- | COURT LISTENS TO LENGTHY ARGUMENT | Afternoon. mployment ital and labor.

NELSON MILES, Major General. General Miles will make his home at the Arlington for the present Australinn Cattle Competition, WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.—A most formidable competitor of the United States for the con- trol of the European cattle markots has arlsen in Australia and in a special report to tho State departmont United States Consul Bell as Sydney gives much valuable informa- tion of the conditions and future prospects of the industry of cattle raising in that cown- try. He shows thar New South Wales and Queensland, where the industry flourishes, have about ten times as much land fit for cat- tle feedf1g as the whole state of Towa. While much of this 'and is so scantily supplied with natural water as to greatly limit live stock operations, the government has come to tho rescue and by successful enterprise in artesian well boring has extended the possi- bilities of the industry. One well alone suppiles 5,000,000 gallons of water daily. At present prices cattle can ba ralsed in Queensland at a profit for their hides alone. In that colony there are 7,000,- 000 head of cattle, and 2,600,000 in New South Wales. The people have nearly twenty head of cattle per capita, as against five-sevenths of one head in the United States. For several years there has been a considerabla export business in frozen and preserved meats, but cattlo raisers are reaching out for the live stock trade and a number of shipments have been made to Burope. Fattened cattle at port points are vorth $21 per head, freight is $40 and time of voyage to Europe from forty- five to sixty days. Average weight is 1,500 pcunds and the cattle gain | in weight ow the voyage. The consul says that while the cattle ralsers of the United States have the advantage of from 9,000 to 10,000 imiles in distance, still, with cheaper produc- tion, lower first costs and lessen- ing of fr.ights, If the Australian trade bacame well established, the saving in distance by the American ship- per will hardly offsot the Australian advan- tage and the latter conld place well fattened 1,600-pound cattle, averaging better in qual- ity than the best in the United States, in the London market more cheaply than they could ba brought fr 1y other part of the globe Of course, s, as yet there is an “if” in all these’ caleulitions.

The furpose is to abolich the system of Interstate tarif duties known as the "Alcabala.” The con- sul believes that iF the proposed changea are agreed to our trade with Mexico will b greatly increaen, for the old system has re stricted American enterprise and repelled American capital.

It is true that the dusky king was handi- capped by a frock coat, tall hat, high collar and other such trappings of Buropean fashion and it is belleved that had he been on his Dative heath it would have taken many more Cegrees of heat to have knocked him out. But the fact remains that his African majesty succumbed for a period to the heat of old London. Of course, there are unkind people who hint that possibly the festive nature of the king's visit may have had something to do with his weakness, but it should In charity be remembered that unkind people like to say unpleasant things. The warm weather, however, suddenly sub- sided during Tuesday night, and the climatic conditions changed from pretty near African to nearly Arctic weather, heavy snow falling in some parts of Scotland and a terrible gale sweeping the sea, catching hundreds of small craft, driving many on the rock-lined shore and sinking many others. In all it is est mated that nearly sixty vessels, large and small, steamers and sailing craft, went to the bottom, or left their frames upon the storig lashed shores during the progress of the g The vessels caught by the storm in the Bri ish channel seem to have fared the worst, and it Is reported that quite a number of un- known merchant vessels went to the bottom. The lifeboat men, as usual, did noble ser- vice, but all their efforts did not prevent the loss of life from tallying up towards a hun- dred, according to the conservallve estimates. Not for twenty years has such a hot Septem- ber béén experienced here, and no such cold weather has been experienced in England dur- ing the month of October for five ycars past. Two degrees of frost were registered in Lon- don, and it was very much colder in the provinces. Then, again, the suiden chang: of weather, all occurring within a few hours, ad a very bad effect on invalids and old peo- ple, the death rate taking a jump upward in almost all parts of the country. DISCUSS THE CZAREWITCH, The Newmarket trainers, however, who have candidates for the Czarewitch stakes, which event Is to be run next week, hailed the change of weather with delight. The race promises to be most interesting and will be witnessed by the prince of Wales and all the prominent sportsmen of the United King- dom. The prince will occupy his rooms at the Jockey club, which are still adorned with vhotographs of Mrs. Langtry and Lady Corn- wallis West, presented when thosa two beau- ties were at the height of their fame. They will doubtless recall to the prince’s mind many pleasant moments of his earlier career, although the originals have long ago passed away into the mists of those who have been. Among the starters will be Mr. Charles D. Rose's St. Hilare, a bay colt by St. Simon, Gut of Distant Shore, the latter being the cele- brated brood mare after which the new yacht challenging for the America’s cup will be named.

The performance of ‘“‘Romeo and Jullet" Is now running smoothly at the Lyceum. Despite what the critics have to say about its merits, it is by far the most remarkable famous theater. The only real fault which the critics have found is that Mr. Robertson has not complied with all the traditions of the play which have been handed down from generation to ganeration of Romeos and Julleta, It the interpretation does not in all respects commend itself to the critical Shakespearean scholars, it is neveriheless more popular with the general public than any Shakesp-arean play in London for years, and since the opening night the theater has been crowded. It seemu to have been the | alm of Mr. Robertson to avoid all l‘-‘ll\(‘”" tionalities, and the result is a most finished, artistic, and in many respects original ren- dition of the most popular of Shakespeare's plays. Nothing could bo more perfect than Mr. Robertwn's faultless elocution his reading of tho lines, and Mrs. Campbe personation of Jullet, while lacking in tensity In some scenes, is nevertheless a marvelous performance, and has added greatly to her reputation, Mr. Coghlan's Mercutio is fine, easy and original.

Baldwin was cut in he neck three times and serlously injured at last night by Sam Sydney, a 8:30 o'clock | negro, whom he had arrested at Twelfth and | Chicago streets. After asking the negro to accompany him to the patrol box the officer met with resist- ance and was compelled to grab his man. They grappled and during the scuffle that ensued Sydney drew a razor and slashed Baldwin twice, making three bad gashes. Baldwin drew his revolver after he was cut, and placing it to the negro's head was about to fire, but decided not to. He put his re- volver in his pocket, and although suffering great pain and growing intensely weak from the loss of blood, he held his prisoner and took him to the patrol box on the nelghboring corner. Sam Sydney is a big, husky negro of a very dark color. He is said by his friends to be a good fellow except when he has been drinking. He served five years In the reg- ular army, having been honorably discharged from the Ninth cavalry, company G, in 1886, After h discharge from the army he was employed as driver for the Kennard Glass and Paint company until last January. Since January he has had no regular occupation, doing odd jobs around the city. MADE CRAZY BY DRINK. Yesterday Sam was drinking all day, and supper time he was drunk enough to troubls upon the slightest provoca Shortly before 6 o'clock he went home, 1122 Chicago street. He began the trouble with Mrs. Black, a woman living at the same house, and with whom he had been ictimate for about a year. “See my new shoes,” he bawled out. Mrs. Black, seelng that he was drunk, replied that she did not care to inspect his shoes. “Yes, you will, too, ou,” he said. Mrs. Black and her lover did not cat together, but it was not long after supper before they were together ain, Sam having renewed the quarrel. Hot words were Interchanged, and Sam selzed the woman and commenced to beat her with his fist. She succeeded once in throwing him off, for his legs were unsteady, but he rushed at her again with the fury of a madman. Catehing her in his arms he lifted her high above his head, and then with all h drunken might he hurled her down to the floor. Just as he was about to throw hime- self on top of her a halt was called In the bostilities by the arrival of Ellis Hardiway. Hardiway is a respectable, hard-working negro who lives in the samo house. He caught hold of Sydney and tried to quiet him, but all to no effect. While Hardiway was trying to defend himself from Sydney blows, which were falling fast, Mrs. Black ran outo f the house to the corner of Twelfth and Chicago streets and called the police. It was in response to her cries that Officer Baldwin came. Sydney, on hearing the call for the police, went and secured hig.razor. READY TO FIGHT ANYDODY. Officer Baldwin pushed his way through the crowd, and going up to the door inquired the cause of the trouble. Mrs. Black In- formed him that Sydney had been abusing her and she wanted him arrested. Baldwin asked the negro to get his hat and go to the tation with him. Sydney said: ““This is my home and can arrest me with- out a warrant.”” He cursed the officer, his mistress and every one else around.

WILLIAM SHAW BOW; WRECKING CRUISE FAST, Spain Hax ough Too Spure One One Every Day, HAVANA, Oct. 5.—The correspondent of the Associated press, when notified by cable today from New York that a dispatch had been received from Madrid, announcing that the Herald of the latter city had published 4 dispatch from Havana, saying that it was reported here that the Spanish crulser Conde de Venadito had foundered, called upon Ad Jmiral Imas. the commander of the Spanish naval forces here and questioned him as to .the truth of the rumor. The admiral promptly clasesd the report as being posi- tively untrue, and was very indignant at what he termed the ,“wild news” circulated In Madrid. He said that the Conde de Vena. dito sailed on Wednesday last from Mariet in company of the Spanish cruiser Infanta Isa. bella, to see what could be done toward say. Ing the guns or other parts of the wrecked crutser, Cristobal Colon, or If possible to float the latter vessel, and there was no rea. 80 to suppose that the Conde de Vendito had met with auy accident. The admiral explained th, ble for auch important news to have reached Madrid, and to have be>n cabled back with. out the authorities of Havana having heard something about it and especially as the Coade de Vencdato was in company with the Infanta Isabel. There Is, however, a rotary storm, east-southeast, whose vortex 1s be. tween the castern portion of the island and tho western part of Hayti. The storm fe probably traveling northwest, n which case it will be elightly felt in Cuba when it re. curves. As already cabled, during the recent cy- clone in the province of Pinar del Rio alone nineteen persons were drowned and eighteen were missing. In addition, the news from Vuelta Abajo is very discouraging. The last storm resulted in not only great loss of life, but_caused much destruction of property.

Fearful Vengeance of a Mob of En- raged Tennesseenns, CHATTANOOGA, Oct. 5.—Neal Smith, the negro who committed assault and probably murder upon the person of Maggie Hender- son at Cole City, was taken from jail last night by 150 men and riddled with bullets. He was not hung. Smith was taken from the building used for confining prisoners by a mob of not less than 200 men. The sherift and jaller, with several men, were on hand, but the crowd refused to listen to reason and threatened Lo tear down the stockade and burn it unless Smith was delivered. Smith was turned over to the crowd, who led him to & point near Where the assault was committed. He con- fessed his guilt, and was then treated to torture which is unparalleled in history. After being mutilated in a fearful manner by the father of the girl, who subs:quently cut oft the negro's ears, he was seized and held while one of the crowd pounded his fingers, jolnt by joint, one finger at a time, until the hand was a shapel’ss mass of bloody jelly. This was because In the strug- 8lo 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 pleces, and the bloody pulp, which only an hour before had been Neal Smith, was thrown lnto a hastily prepared pile of brushwood and burned until not a acrap of bone remained.

R. Dorr, a student in the Cooper Modi. cal college, sat alongsidc of Durrant at the lectures. When examined with the other members of Durrant's class, Dorr testified that he did not know whether Durrant was present at the afternoon lecture on April 3 or mot. Dorr's father, who is a prominent physician, informed the police, however, that in his.own homa and to tho membars of his own family young Dorr stated that on the afternoon of April 3 Durrant's seat was occupied by a student named E. Barry. He added that the student who that afternoon answered to Durrant's name occupied one of the rear seats In the class room. The communication made to his own family was not accompanied by any injunction of secrecy. It was not until all the students, Including Dorr, on the witness stand had denfed knowledgo of the fimportant fact of Durrant’s presence or absence that thoss who.diad heard the story con- cluded to communicate with the district attorney. It is presumed that Dorr, In com mon with others of Durrant's fellow students, desired as far asi possible to protect their former classmate, 'and so avoided answering pertinent questions’ by responding, ““I do not know.” It igimew considcred certain that Dorr will be ‘recalled to the stand and re- quired to tell all ithe truth concerning the events in the eollege class room on the fatal afternoon of April 3.

Then T went away to Scotland, and now that I have re- tursied, Mr. Chamberlain is away from town and does not come back until the end of the presant month, when a declsion will probably be given."” Referring to the copyright question, Sir Charles Tupper said_he could not discuss the matter now, as Mr. Newcombe had re- turned to Canada to report progress to the Canadian authorities, Although the author- ities at Ottawa could not discuss the subject with private individuals, he conttnued, the matter is still being considered between Canada and th> imperfal government, and no doubt Mr. Hall Caine will have a chance to state his case. Some years ago Sir Henry Irving was din- ing with George Augustus Sala, when the latter showed an invaluabie scrap book, ex- tending over the whole period of his journal- istlo career, to his visitor.

The women acquitted themselves admirably by speaking briefly and 1o the point. It was also noteworthy that one of the hest speakers at the conventlon was Miss Olden, a colored woman. " “One thing impressed me,” continued Mrs. Henrotin, “and it is this, that no foolish or laudatory speeches are made of the Colorado women because of their new privileges. At the same time the women show no disposition to put women in office simply because they are women, and for this reason presented but few names. The governor of Colorado told me he was delighted with the stand the women had taken in not asking for political preferment. Notwithstanding their hard work during the campaign, they had but few re- quests to make. Strange to say, the women Who asked for suffrage the most did not come to the front in the campaign. Rather It was the prominent club women who had financial or " educational interests at stake. This may be explained by the fact that ciub women are used to marshalling forces.” Mrs. Henrotin expressed regrets that she Will be unable to attend the first annual meet ing of the Illinols Federation of Women's clubs at Peoria next week, owing to a pre vious engagement to meet with the Malne federation at that time, for which conference she will leave Tuesday.

The largest was six and a half inches in leugth, and the other one was nearly as long, and quite as deep. The third cut was on the back of the neck, and was apparently made at the finish of the first stroke, It was between three and four nches in length. As the officer lost blood he began to grow faint, and nothing but his unusual strength and great will power kept him on his feet. As he felt himself growing weaker he placed the revolver against the negro's head and thought that he must in self- defense shoot him. HELP FROM BYSTANDERS, The first knowledge the bystanders had of the cutting was when the officer called out: “I'm cut, hold him, I'm cut.”” As soon as the situation was comprehended by those nearest, two or three citizens volunteered as- sistance. Sydney was caught, but Baldwin did not let go of him until the patro] box was reached. A hurrry call was sent In, and the desperate negro, in charge of the man he had meant to kill, were soon driven to the police station. Assistant City Physiclan Towne dressed the wounds of the officer. *“Why didn't you KL him, Dan?" was the question propounded to Baldwin by every one present, as soon as the gashes had been sewed up, “Oh, I couldn’t do that,” sald he. It was 11 o'clock before the physician finished his task, and then the wounded man, all bandaged up, was taken to his home, not far from the station.
