2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MAY 6, 1895. INCOME TAX HEARING Reargument Will Begin in the Supreme Court. MONDAY NEXT THE DAY. Only Two Attorneys Will Be Allowed to Talk for Each Side of the Case. OLNEY IS NOW INTERESTED. He Has Intimated That He Would Like the Opportunity of Pre- senting Facts. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 5.—It is not known what time will be given to the re- argument of the income tax es, which are to be begun in the United States Su- preme Court on Monday next. The order of the court granting the rehearing did not specify as to time, and the Chief Justice is quoted as having said since the order was made that the argument would beat length, On the first argument, about twelve hours’ time, equivalent to three Supreme Court days, were given to the subject. Then three attorneys were heard on each side. The Chief Justice’s order in the pres- ent instance provides for the hearing of only two counsel on each side. It is there- fore probable the argument will be extend- ed over at least two days, and it is possible counsel will seek to have it cover even more time. The motion for a rehearing was for a second hearing on the points on which the court was divided, but Attorney-General Olney stated in his brief on the subject of a rehearing that in case the petition should be granted he would ask to have the entire question reopened, saying the Government had never been heard as to whether a tax .on rentals or dividends on bonds was con- stitutional as an original proposition, and intimating he should like to have an op- portunity to go into this question at length. As the entire question is new to Justice Jackson, in the sense that he has heard none of the oral arguments, it is consid- ered not improbable that more or less argument on all sides will be permitted. Whatever the conclusion of Justice Jack- son after hearing the arguments, no rever- sal of the opinion of the court in regard to incomes from rents and public bonds is§ possible, unless at least two of the members of the court, who participated in the for- mer decision, change their votes. The court stood six to two in pronouncing that part of the law unconstitutional. On the remaining features of the law, the court | was divided, and if all the members of the | court voted this time as they did before, Mr. Ja n’s voice will decide the matter. It is understood tha ‘Attorney-General Olney will appear in person in the prese tation of the Government's side of the question, as it is probable he will be sup- ported by Assistant Attorney-General ‘Whitney. Mr. Choate will also again be the principal speaker for. the app.1 ants. FOREIGNERS 1N DANGER, British and German Marines Landed at An Ping to Protect Residents. The Chinese Troops Known as the Black Flags Creating Trouble on Formosa. HONGKONG, Cr1xa, March 5.—The sit- uation on the island of Formosa is serious and fears are entertained for the safety of foreigners there. British and German marines have been landed at An Ping, on the southwest coast, to protect the foreign residents, and Taku harbor, south of An | Ping, is being patrolled by blue jackets in armed launches. The Black Flags are ir- regular forces. They are not in China’s pay, though sometimes she has a little authority over them. Warfare is their profession and they depend upon it for bread, and they raid and rob Chinese and others indis- criminately. They have no law but the commands of their leaders. They are bolder and more warlike than the average Chinaman and have little fear of death. The French were greatly troubled by them in Tonquin. It is said if the Chinese can turn the ‘Black Flags on any specially hated enemy they consider it a great stroke of enter- prise. It is also said when the French, during the Tonquin campaign, complained to Viceroy Li Hung Chang against the out- rages of the Black Flags, to the demand that he secure their punishment the Viceroy said he had no more control over them than the French had; they were robbers’ camps and China had disavowed them. B e RATIFICATION KEPT SECRET. No Edict Has Been Issued by the Em- peror to His People. LONDON, ExG., May 5.—The Times has dispatches from Peking saying the fact that the Emperor has ratified the treaty of peace with Japan is known to only a few Chinese. No edict in regard to the matter has been issued. Prince Kung, president of the Tsung-li-Yamen, urged the Em- peror to ratify the treaty. A Hongkong dispatch to the Times states that the Governor of Formosa says its ces- sion to the Japanese will produce a rebel- lion. He declares he haslost all control of the soldiers and that foreigners must saye themselves. The leader of the Black Flags has appealed to his men to carry out his original orders to prevent the Japanese from landing on the island. Placards written by the Literati have been posted in conspicuous places and cir- culated among the people, calling upon them to resist the Japanese, and saying that if the island is to be ceded to any na- tion they prefer it should be given to Great Britain. A dispatch from Paris says the Temps has a telegram from St. Petersburg stating that Japan has replied to the friendly pro- test of Russia, France and Germany. Japan agrees to renounce possession of the Liao Tang Peninsula, but says she will re- tain Port Arthur. This compromise leaves intact all the dangers that the powers wished toavoid. Fresh represen- tations have been made to Japan and the negotiations are actively proceeding. A Berlin dispatch to the Times says nothing has occurred to diminish the hope of an immediate settlement in connection with the Chinese-Japanese peace treaty, though it -would be difficalt to say upon;] what basis it will be. It is probable the compensation to Japan for foregoing pos- session of the Liao Tang Peninsula will be the payment by China of an increased in- demnity, EARL — OF SELBORNE DEAD. The Famous Englishman Who Differed With Gladstone Passes Away. LONDON, Exc., May 5—The Earl of Selborne died to-night. The deceased, the Right Hon. Rondall Palmer, was the sec- ond son of the iate Rev. William Palmer, und was born at Mixbury, November 27, 1812. He was first returned to Parliament as a member for Plymouth in 1847. In 1861 he was appointed Solicitor Gen- eral in Lord Palmerston’s administra- tion. He differed from Mr. Gladstone on the question of the disendowment of the Christian church, but supported the Lib- erals in other things. He represented Her Majesty’s government as Council be- fore the Arbitration at Geneva, in 187i. He was appointed Lord Chancellor of England in 1872, on which occasion he was made a peer by the title of Baron Selborne. In May, 1886, he refused to become a member of Mr. Gladstone’s new Cabinet, owing to his disapproval of the home-rule policy. Since that year he has been ranked with the Liberal Unionists. In 1892 he was created Viscount Wolmer. He edited the Boynton of Praise from the best English hymn writers, and was the author of a number of theological works. DED ON THE HUEN YUK, Commander Krohn Struck by a Japanese Ball While Rallying His Men. All His Property Conflscated by the Chinese Because He Lost in Battle. PH@ENIXVILLE, PA.,, May 5.—Chaun- cey Krohn of the Phenix Iron Works of this place has received intelligence that his Hongkong brother, Commander Ger- hard Krohn of the Chinese navy, was mor- tally wounded on board his vessel, the Kuen Yuen, in the naval engagement with the Japanese fleet in the Gulf of Pei Chi Li, near Port Arthur, in February. Before he was wounded he gave orders to one of his lieutenants to man a gun. The lieutenant refused to obey, when Command- er Krohn manned the gun himself, but was soon mortally wounded by an explod- ing shell. He seated himself on the trunion, and although he was blinded, held his eye- lids open with his fingers so he could see and endeavored to rally his men. But still they refused to obey orders, many of them jumping overboard. The Kuen Yuen had every gun dismantled and was struck 400 times during the battle. Krohn was taken on board a junk and was removed to the British Hospital at Hongkong, where he died two days after the fight and was interred in the foreign cemetery there. Gerhard Krohn left this country seven vears ago and joined General von Hanne- ken and went into the Chinese service, where they were employed in reconstruct- ing the army and navy of that country after the German plan. The property of Commander Krohn was confiscated at his death, even to his wearing apparel. Medals and private goods were claimed by the Chinese authorities to indemnify the Gov- ernment for his defeat at the battle of Pei Ching while in their service. — - ESTIMATING HORSES. The London Post Says the Boom Was Bound to Die Qut. LONDON, Exe., May 5.—The Post, commenting upon the performances of American horses at Newmarket, says: The American boom was bound to die out sooner or later. The early symptome thereof were supplied Thursday, when three of their vaunted representatives, Stonenell, Harry Reed and Montauk, went down like ordinary stock. As for their time trials and other recent races, in running Montauk is not a flyer, and itisa very open question if Harry Reed will have any English supporters for the Jubilee stakes, for no one is insane enough to believe that English horses, trainers and jockeys have been standing still for generations past to clear the way for American advance. If Stonenell was seen at his best in the race for the March stakes, when receiving fourteen pounds from Bestman, his incom- parable inferiority was exposed to a ridicu- lous extent. The Times says: The American horses ran well enough to justify the belief that they will yet prove they are deserving of the character they enjoyed in their own country. —_———— BALFOUR EXTRADITED. The Ex-Member of Parliament Returned From Argentine for Trial. SOUTHAMPTON, Exc., May 5.—Jabhez Spencer Balfour, the ex-member of Parlia- ment who has gained world-wide notoriety through his connection with the collapse of the Liberator Building Society and allied concerns, has, by the long-continued efforts of the British Government to secure his extradition, been brought at last from Argentine, whence he fled. He arrived to-night from Buenos Ayres. His expected arrival caused the greatest excitement and every precaution was taken to protect him. A large number of detectives and police- men were present to take charge of him and prevent any overt act on the part of the crowd that began to assemble as soon as it became known that the Tartar Prince, the ship on which Balfour was to arrive, had been signaled off the coast. When the ship arrived the dock was closed to the public, and Balfour was placed ona special train bound for London. The Scotland Yard authrities have taken elaborate precautions to pre- vent the prisoner from being interviewed. L GENERAL CALLEJA EXPLAINS. He Says He Did Not Have Troops Enough in Cuba. MADRID, Sparx, May 5.—General Call- eja, formerly captain-general of Cuba, has arrived here from Havana. In an inter- view he stated he was aware of the begin- ning of the uprising in Cuba and was in- formed as to the movements of the filibus- terers in the United States and the Sepa- ratists in Cuba. He was, however, powerless to prevent the rising in the eastern end of the island, owing to the want of organized troops and the scarcity of war material. He had only 9000 soldiers and 2000 raw recruits, a force not adequate to garrison the towns let alone to take the field against the rebels. Though he was aware that filibustering expeditions were being organized in Hayti, Tamps, Key West and Costa Rica and elsewhere he had only seven inferior gun- boats to watch 400 leagues of coast line. General Calleja added that he believed Marshal de Campos would speedily pacify the 1sland. The property privilegein Cuba, he declared, had forced many starving men to join the rebels. >4 INDIANS SURRENDER, The Dakota Halfbreeds Give Up Without a Battle. FORCE WAS TO BE USED. More Time Was Wanted, but the Marshal Was Firm in His Demands. RED THUNDER SHOWS FIGHT. He Tries to Use Hls Knife, but Is Handcuffed After a Desper- ate Struggle. ST. PAUL, My, Mavls.—A&. Rolla (N. D.), special to the Pioneer-Expre.s, says: The half-breed uprising has been squelched without lossof life. Marshals came here Saturday night from St. John in consequence of information received that an attempt might be made to rescue Laspelle Langan, who was arrested Satur- day noon. Pickets were Ieft on duty all night, but no attempt was made. Depu- ties were astir soon after daybreak this morning. Marshal Cronan has decided that further effort at inducing a peaceful surrender would be useless, claiming that if they would not surrender their fort at Langan he would storm it. A posse left here in a wagon soon after 6o'clock and drove sixteen miles to the half-breed fort. As it was known that the Indians had mounted scouts watching the regular road, the officers struck east, com- | ing upon the Indians at an unexpected | turn, so they had no time to gather their | men from outlying districts. The half- breed fort was reached at 9:30 o’clock, the | wagons being left half a mile in the rear, | and the deputy Marshals advanced, spread- | ing out so as to commwand the north and | west sides, those being easiest of access. Spades had been brought and the Marshals began preparing shallow rifle- pits. Marshal Cronan and Indian Agent Hall leaving their rifles behind walked up to the fort, the deputies keeping sharp lookout for any hostile movement. The halfbreeds refused to talk with Cronan, but told Hall they wanted further time to hear | from Washington. Cronan told them to make up their minds quick as he meant to | attack them at once. | f#By 10:30 Marshal Cronan was ready to! begin, when the halfbreeds sent out a| message that they wanted to see him. He returned word that they could send out | one of their chiefs, and they sent Chasseur le Potreau, who was chiefin the raid on the St. Jobn hardware store Thursday night, when they stole all the guns and ammuni- tion. Le Potreau wanted time to hear from Washington, but was told it was too late. Then he offered to surrender the men for whom warrants were out, except Red Thunder, but Cronan would give them no | conditions. They must surrender abso- lutely and give up all arms and ammuni- | tion and he would arrest all he wanted. If they did not like these terms the Marshals had come there to fight and were ready. All this time the deputies had been working nearer and nearer and now had a temporary cover provided within a hundred and fifty yards, at which distance the Winchester builets would easily riddle the logs. Soon after 11 o’clock the half- breeds surrendered unconditionally though it was nearly 2 o’clock before the prisoners were loaded in wagons. Fifty- four guns were fonnd. Most of the Win- chesters had been hidden, but they can be | found later. Each man was required to write his name on his gun. Only those | for whom warrants were already out were taken to town, the others being allowed to go for the present. The Indians arrested are: Red Thunder, Joe Langan, Joe Dmareis Chasseur Le Potrean, Francois Langan, Alexander Leroque, Daniel Short. Red Thunder made a desperate resist- ance when arrested, attacking Deputy Daggett with his knife, and it took three men to handcuff him. He is 87 years of age, but is almost crazy, and possesses much strength. While negotiations were pending he had tried to kill one of his breeds for favoring surrender. The prisoners were brought to Rolla this afternoon. The other breeds present were told they could have their shotguns by applying to the Marshal and being identified as the man whose name was marked on the gun, thus furnishing con- clusive evidence of their participation in the outbreak. The intention is to arrest all present for armed conspiracy. About fifteen citizens of Rolla and St. John brought out arms and acted with the Marshal’s posse. Chief Little Shell was arrested on the reservation and brought in to-night. When returning to the agency after the surrender, Agent Hall met a band of 150 breeds and Indians on the way to re-enforce the bredds at Langans who, a courier had notified them, were being at- tacked by Marshals, They were headed by Little Shell, the head chief of the reser- vation. Agent Hall succeeded in persuad- ing them to turn back, informing them that the others had all surrendered. Had they arrived while the attack was in progress it might have been unpleasant for the Marshals. JAMES KELLY DEAD. The Founder of the Chicago Tribune Dies at Winnettka. CHICAGO, IrL, May 5.—James Kelly, one of the founders of the Chicago Tribune, died at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. James O. Parker, in Winnettka, Ill. Death was due to old age. Mr. Kelly was one of the oldest printers in Chicago. He was bornin New York City in 1809, and was engaged in the book- publishing business there before coming to Chicago.

He was also interested in the tannery business and ran several large tanneries in Wisconsin. Ten years ago he retired from business, and has since been living with his children in Win- nettka. e MILWAUKEE GAMBLING. Ministers Bring the Facts Before the Public From Their Pulpits. MILWAUKEE, Wi, May 5.—From more than a score of local pulpits volleys were to-night fired at “The gambling evil in Milwauke.” This oratorical symposium was the result of several months of quiet, but effective work upon the part of the Milwaukee Ministers’ Association. De- tectives in the employ of the Association gathered evidence showing the existence of public gambling in Milwaukee. = The ministers laid this before Mayor Koch and Chief of Police Janssen and when those of- ficials declined to act, they decided by co- operative means to bring the matter be- fore the people. The ministers (_:hnrge that the gamblers have the protection of the police and that the policemen have acted as guides to the gambling-houses, receiving tips for their pains. NS G MRS BURNED BY MISTAKE. The Kentucky Pesthouse Fire Was on Private Property. CINCINNATI, Onto, May 5.—The Com- mercial Gazette’s Winchester (Ky.) special says: The truth about the alleged pest- house burning is out. Counselman Dono- hue of this city has a small tenement- house on his farm about two miles south of town. He had some repairs done for a tenant who was to occupy it on Monday. The neighbors took it into their heads that it was to be used as a pesthouse, and this morning it was in ashes. Bob White, the negro who has the smallpox, was re- moved this morning from jail, two miles west of town, where a tent had been pro- vided. A pesthouse is being erected to-day. No other fires or fights are expected from this excitement, Sisbgw L Circus-Rider Fish Dead. CHICAGO, Irn., May 5—Charles W.

The North Fork of the Kentucky River Rises at the Rate of Three Feet an Hour. CINCINNATI, Omro, May 5.—Advices from Southern Ohio, Southeastern Indiana and Northeastern Kentucky report phe- nomenal waterspouts before sunset last night. At McGonigle’s Station, near Hamilton, crops were badly damaged, as also were bridges and fences. In Scioto County the people were greatly alarmed. Much damage was done around New Bos- ton. About two miles from Harrodsburg, Ky., a waterspout inundated the country. ‘Water was three feet deep in the fields, carrying logs and fencing into the high- ways. Trees were blown down and a toll- house carried away and crops were badly | damaged. In none of the localities did the damage extend beyond a mile square. There was a terrific cloudburst at noon to-day between Torrent and Fincastle, | Kentucky, causing a big landslide. The North Fork of the Kentucky River rose three feet in one hour. ey 4. P.

SR e VIRGINIA MINERS UNITE. New Unions Being Formed by the Poca- hontas Strikers. POCAHONTAS, Va., May 5.—The strik- ing West Virginia miners have been pour- ing into Virginia all day. At Poca, a mile east of here, 3000 miners held & meeting, at which they were quiet and orderly. A local union was organized with 850 mem- bers. From the attitude of the local miners who attended the meeting it is thought all of them will join the West Virginia strikers. Not over one-third of the minersin Poca- hontas district are working. S Murder in Alabama. STEVENSON, Ara., May 5. — James Swats, a passenger engineer on the Nash- ville, Chattanopga and St. Louis Railway, was fatally shot here by Andy Hames, a resident of this town.

AFTER THE TORNADO, Order Being Restored in Sioux County, Iowa. ALL THE DEAD BURIED. None of the Injured Expected to Die as They Are Out of Danger. FINANCIAL LOSS IS LIGHT. Grain Was Not Damaged as It Was Not High Enough to Be Af- fected by the Wind. SIOUX CITY, IowA, May 5.—Order is coming out of chaos in the narrow district of 8ionx County which was swept by the tornado Friday. Prompt aid has made the survivors as comfortable as possible. Nearly all the dead are now buried and none of the injured now living are thought to be fatally hurt. The Journal’s representative, who went all over the ground swept by the storm, says $10,000 will cover the property dam- age, including houses, barns and outbuild- ings and fences. In few places are the crops seriously damaged, for grain was not up far enough to be killed or dislodged by the wind, and the principal injury in the fields was by the plastering of mud which they received. This *‘mud shower” was a prominent part of the storm, butit seems that the power of the wind simply scooped up the black, wet earth from the surface in sev- eral places and distributed it all overother fields. The correct list of dead numbers ten, as has already been stated. None have died since Saturday. About twenty persons were injured in Sioux County. The Mayor of Sioux Center appealed to Sioux City for aid, and a public meeting was held Saturday night and arrange- ments made for sending clothing and money. Officials of Sioux County, how- ever, say it is not needed. Inthe whole territory covered by the tornado but three farmers were renters. All the rest were well-to-do and some wealthy. AQUATICF ATALITIES. The Opening of the Season Results in the Drowning of Six Persons. DETROIT, Micu., May 5.—The opening of the season of aquatic pleasures was marked here to-day by the drowning of four persons. John Moriarity, aged 16, Frank Connelly, aged 14, and four other youths were swimming in the Bogue River, when Connelly was taken witha cramp. Insinkinghe clutched Moriarity’s leg and both were drowned. The bodies were recovered. At 5:30 p. M. a sailboat containing George H. Baugh, his wife and brother-in- law, George Emmons, was capsized in the Detroit River. Mr. and Mrs. Baugh were drowned. Emmons escaped. Scuffling by the men in the boat was the cause of the disaster. The bodies were not recovered. WANTS T SEND TROOFS, Virginia’s Governor Seeks to Quell West Virginia Miners. The Executive of the Latter State Will Not Allow Them to Cross the Line. CHARLESTON, W. VA,, May 5.—To- night Governor McCorkle received a tele- gram from Governor O'Ferrall of Virginia asking permission to send State troops into ‘West Virginia to break up the meetings of miners being held in this State. - Governor McCorkle was in Cincinnati and at once started back to this city. The messages were repeated to him at Chillicothe and Athens, but it is thought no reply will be given until Governor McCorkle arrives here to-morrow. Since the meetings were held here to-day trouble is feared in some districts to-night. No one knows what the strikers decided on to-day at their secret meeting. PARKERSBURG, W. Va., May 5.—Gov- ernor McCorkle passed here at midnight and informed the Associated Press that he had just wired Governor O’Ferrall of Vir ginia that he would not permit Virginia- troops to come on West Virginia soil to ex- ercise any military function. O’Ferrall had asked Govornor McCorkle to permit Virginia to come two miles on West Virginia soil, and in return he would permit the West Virginia Militia to go two miles into Virginia. Governor McCorkle says the situation in McDowell and Pocahontas coal fields is serious, but he will not call out the West Yirginis troops unless some act of violence is committed. _All arrangements are in perfect condi- tion to bring out the entire National Guard at two hours’ notice. Special trains are ready to carry the men, and the engines have steam up. Governor McCorkle had received dispatches here at midnight say- ing all was quiet. —_——— DEPEW ON SILVER. He Thinks Chaos Will Result Af the White Detal Is Adopted. NEW YORK,N. Y., May 5.—Chauncey M. Depew has returned from his trip to Detroit. Talking of his journey, he said: ““While in the West I talked with many men. The general impression there is that business will pick up with great rapidity. The only thing that disturbs this feeling is the uncertainty over the money question. The country has finally adjusted itseif to the tariff matter, and with confidence re- sm{ed it will hold. Should this cry against our money system, however, amount to anything the result would be deplorable, and even the most sagacious cannot foretell what would occur. I can foersee that should silver be adopted in a ratio of 16 to 1 as an equivalent money metal, our securities would be returned from abroad and we would be obliged to take them. Loans would be contracted, gold would appreciate in value and a gen- eral chaotic condition of affairs would result.” —— EKILLED THE DOCTOR. A Physician Shoots .inother Medical Man < for Family Reasons. NEW ORLEANS, La., May 5—Dr. S. P. Schwing killed Dr. Emile Heriat at noon to-day. Both are prominent citizens of Placuemine. Heriat. who has a wife and five children, became infatuated with Mrs. Schwing and their love led to a street dl;el several weeks ago, Heriat being ahgt_fl:ly wounded. Schwing brought his famfly here and went away on a short bus- iness trip. It is thought the woman followed Heriat here. Schwing arrived this morning and went to the place where the guilty couple roomed. As soon as he entered their apartment he opened fire and Heriat returned the fire. There were eight shots fired, the only one taking effect going through Heriat’s body and killing him instantly, The woman was sitting on the bed with her child and miraculously escaped injury. Schwing was arrested and did not deny the killing. The male relations of both families are expected to make more trouble over the affair. R e STORM IN ALABAMA. Wind and Rain Do Considerable Damage in the State. BIRMINGHAM, Ara., May 5.—A severe wind and rain storm passed over the south- ern part of Cullman County, sixty miles north of here, late this afternoon. The wires are all down and details are meager. Many buildings were either blown down or damaged, so it is reported, and crops de- stroyed. It is said that two miles west of Hanesville the house of James Ellis was blown down and his family of six persons badly hurt, onefehild, 11 years old, having died. The damage to the fruit crop was very heavy. CAN WITHHOLD THE TEARS Dr. Salmon Says the Public Need Not Weep for Mr. Armour’s Losses. The Pork-Packer Had Very Modestly Reported on Only One Depart- ment of His Business. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 5.—Dr. Salmon, Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, being interrogated as to Mr. Ar- mour’s statement of an average constant loss of between 17 and 18 cents on each head of cattle slaughterea by his house during a long period of time, said he had no criticisms to make as to the veracity of the statement, as far as it goes. “But,” he added, “Mr. Armour sepa- rates the dressed-beef department from the transportation, trade and various other departments of his business, which are closely related. It is currently rumored and generally believed that the firm of Armour & Co. have about 3000 refrigerator- cars rolling over the various railroads of the United States carrying dressea-beef to their customers., And some wickedly curious people dgclare that they cannot tell when they buy dressed beef how much of the money goes for transportation and how much for meat. “Possibly if Mr. Armour will state the losses incurred by his firm in the trans- portation of beef during the same period of time that he covered in stating its losses upon beef itself, the further losses of that firm would so excite public sympathy that those who eat beef would eat the more, and those would eat it too who never ate it before. However, until it is known what the losses of Armour & Co. are on the business of their refrigerator-cars in carrying dressed meats, the public may refrain from tears.” WISCONSIN STRIKERS. The Leaders Say the Trouble Will Extend to Variots Factories. SHEBOYGAN, Wis.,, May 5.—A large meeting of strikers was held this afternoon and they were told to become more united in their efforts to secure higher wages. They will endeavor to close other wood- working factories here in the morning, but in trying to do this they claim they will not resort to force or violence. Some Jeaders state the strike will spread to foundriesand other establishments. They also say the Roentz Leather Company may start its | tannery in the morning, but there will be no men to go to work. There are now 3500 men out and no settlement of their trouble is in sight. S R CAPTURED RY INSURGENTS. The Fort of San Ramon de las Yaguas Suceumbs to Cubap Rebels. TAMPA, Fra., May 5.—Passengerssby steamer Mascotte to-night brings reports that the fort of San Ramon de las Yaguas, in which were 260 men and Laconia mili- tary, with the same number of inmates in Santiago province, were both captured last week by 1750 insurgents under Maceo.

There is much dissatisfaction among Spanish officers over Gallao's execution. Purify Your Blood ‘Whenever pimples, boils or other erup- tions appear. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the best blood purifier. Read this: . “When our yearsold, a bunch or tumor formed on the side of her face, and grew to the size of an egg. JIn four years we $physicians, but A\ N e decided to get hN A\ Y4her blood in good order before taking her to have an opera- tion performed.
