THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1895. of Admiral Del Gado Parejo, drowned by the sinking of the Spanish cruiser off Moro Castle on Wednesday night, took place this morning. The services were attended by all the prominent military, civil and naval officials, foreign representatives and | members of Havana society. The route of the procession was lined with people. Be- hind the hearse were five cars laden with wreaths, a number of which were sent by the agents of foreign steamship compa- nies. —_— FOR ACTING SUSPICIOUSLY. Seizure of a Schooner With Americans and Cubars Aboard. JACKSONVILLE, Fra., Sept. A special to the Times-Union from Key West says: This city is again laboring under great excitement. The revenue cutter Mc- Lane came in to-day from Pine Key, having in tow the schooner Antoinette, with seven Cubans and three Americans on board. The captain of the cuiter reports that the vessel was arrested under suspicious cir- cumstances. When first sighted the schooner attempted fo run away, setting all sails, but ran ashore on the banks. The men were carried before Commissioner Otto and released under $50 bond each, Recio and Cordero becoming surety - for each. The same charges are preferred against the men as were made against the party on the schooner Lark, and the same | disposition is expected in this case as in the case of the Lark. chooner Antoinette was commanded | enty Lee Bethel, ex-City Marshal of | this city, and one Theodore Parks. They | left this city on Tuesday night, shortly | after the arrival of the Mascotte, from | which steamer all but one of the supposed | filibusters landed. The officers from the | cutter, immediatelv upon seizing the schooner, searched her and found only one | valise, containing a fine set of surgical instruments and a thousand cartridges, one double-barreled shotgun® and two Colt’s revolvers. Upon the schooner being turned over | to the customs officers the Deputy Collec- tor ordered Inspectors Andrews and Rob- erts to give hera thorough overhauling, which resulted in finding several barrels, | boxes and sacks, all filled with ammuni- tion. All work in the factories has stopped, | and both Cubans and Americans are dis- ing the matter on ali corners and in | cafe in the city. Never in the his- | tory of this city has such excitement pre- | vailed. Prominent Cubans assert that the | r of the supposed filibusters has hiad a | beneficial effect, and that hundreds are | offering their services to go to Cuba to battle for her freedon SEIZURE OF Had Avms STEAMER. for Cubans and Violated | Neutrality Laws. | WILMINGTON, N.

AN ECHO OF THE WAR. Progress of the Great Struggle With Black Flags in Formosa. IMPORTANT POSITIONS TAKEN. One Hundred Non-Commissloned Chinese Officers Massacred During a Mutiny. TOKIO, Jarax, Sept. 7.—Count Matsu- kata, Japanese Minister of State for Finance, has resigned his portfolio and been succeeded by Mr. Watanabe, who formerly held the same office. The alleged reason of the Count’s resignation is the Cabinet’s resolve not to convene a special session of the diet for the purpose of sub- mitting bills providing for large increases of the arpy and navy. The Cabinet was perfectly willing to adopt that course, but tbe compilation of the bills proved such a lengthy task that their completion could not have preceded the time for the ordinary session of the diet by an interval suflicient to warrant the convening of a special ses- sion. The fatt is, however, that Count Matsu- kata had been with difficulty induced to retain his seat in the Cabinet after the re- jection of bis advice that, in making peace with China, no cession of territory should be sought, the only condition imposed being a large indemnity. That course would have averted the Liaotung compli- cation, but it is now clear that China couid not possibly have paid any such sum as that suggested by Count Matsukata. His resignation caused a general depression in the stock market, for he enjoys the repu- tation of being an eminently practical financier. On August 30 the Japanese troops in Formosa captured the important position of Chang-hua and Taiwan and pushed their advance guard to Lokiang. On the 13th and 14th of the same month they had taken Oulan and Miaoli and had thence moved slowly southward through a road- less district, thickly covered with brush. Miaoli being the capital of a province a | determined resistance was expected there, but the Chinese confined their defense to the hills on the south of the town. There about 1000 of them took up strong | positions and held them with considerable show of resolution. The Japanese found the task of scaling the hills extremely dif- ficult, They had to crawl up the steep ascents under cover of mountain guns and more than two hours passed before they came to close quarters, The casualties, however,were insigniticant—one killed and five wounded—whereas the enemy had from seventy to eighty killed. J On the following day the guardsadvanced against Miaoli, some companies crossing the hills, others marching round their They found the town almost en- tirely deserted, the residents having de- camped with all their valuable property. Until a few days previously, one of the Black Flag chieftain’s most trusted cap- ains had been in command, and exten- sive preparations had been made to repel attack, but when news came of the utter rout of their comrades at Chinto-shan and Tsienpi-shan, the garrison lost heart and retreated in the direction of Chang-hua, a town thirty-five miles farther south. At the latter place a force of fully 5000 Chinese was concentrated, including a con- siderable body of re-enforcements sent up from Tainan by Lin Yung-fu, in response to an urgent request from the Governor of Chang-hua. A still larger detachment of re-enforcements,en route for the town when the Japanese invested it, did not arrive in time to take part in the defense. Having captured Taiwan on the 27th, with a loss of fifteen killed and wounded, they moved to the assault of Hakkesan | and Chang-hua on the 28th and obtained possession of the two places after a brief | fight, the most noteworthy feature of | which was the great disparity between the |losses on the two sides, the Japanese having -only nine killed and wounded, | whereas the Chinese casualties are said to | have totaled 650. Several prisoners were taken, and there fell into the hands of the victors 400 pieces of ordnance, of various patterns and dges, over 400,000 rounds of | ammunition and a quantity of -telegraph | apparatus. The bulk of the enemy fled toward Chia-ibut a portion headed for Lo-kiang, a seaport town about eight miles distant from Chang-hua. The former, hotly pur- sued by a battalion of cavalry and a flying column of infantry as far as Torokumon, left many dead upon the road, and the latter, being followed to Lo-kiang, made no attempt to rally there, but passed raps idly southward, leaving the town to be occupied by the Japanese advance guard. In all these operations the Imperial Guards were assisted by cruisers of “the Japanese fleet moving down the coast. At Chang-hua the advance of the troops has been stopped for thé® present. The march from Shinchuh to that place, a distance of sixty-seven miles, occupied twenty-one days, commencing on August 8 and ending on the 28th. The heat was intense and the supply of provisions very defective, especially during the last four days, when the men had to depend en- REPORT oF THE ACADEMIE DE MEDECINE oF FRANCE Apollinaris “THE QUEEN OF TABLE WATERS.” THE RESULTS OF THE RECENT INVESTIGATIONS IN PARIS AND THE REPORT OF THE ACA4 DEMIE DE MEDECINE OF FRANCE HAVE PLACED APOLLINARIS WATER AT THE HEAD OF ALL THE « WATERS EXAMINED FOR PURITY AND FREEDOM FROM DISEASE GERMS. b '\‘ avr tirely upon the resources of the districts through which they passed, the generals deeming it wiser to pnush rapidly forward even at the cost of great privation than to give the enemy time to rally or concen- trate his forces. There will be no general advance from Chang-hua until the middle or end of Sep- tember, by which time the Japanese forces in Formosa will have been brought to a strength of from 40,000 to 50,000 of all arms, including the whole of the Second (Sendai) Division and portions of the First (Tokio) and Fourth (Osaka) divisions. A campaign on a large scale will then be undertaken, and it is expected that the pacification of the island will be accom- plished before the close of November. Lieutenant-GeneralViscount Takashima, the newly appointed Vice-Governor-Gen- eral of Formosa, and commander-in-chief of the forces there, left Tokio for his post on September 1. 1t had been supposed that on his arrival in the island, the Gov- ernor-General, Count Kabayama, would return home, but no such intention exists at present. The Japanese have dispatched a railway corps to Formosa for the purpose of con- structing a line between Sinchu and Chang- hua, a distance of sixty-seven miles. The line will afterward be extended to Tainan, the capital, the north and south of the island being thus brought into railway communication. A mutiny on an alarming scale broke out in the Yaoh-a barracks at Tientsin on August 16. The canse of the soldiers’ ris- ing was the perennial trouble in China, dishonest appropriation of the men’s pay by their officers. About a hundred officers, non-commissioned officers and non-com- batant officials were massacred before peace could be restored. Rumor at first placed the commandant, Wu, among the number of the sufferers, but that proved incorrect. It was appre- hended that the trouble might spread to the foreign settlement, and preparations were made by the British gunboat Swift and the Japanese gunboat Chokai to land marines, if necessary, but the mutiny was quelled in time to obviate such a step. Great variety has been felt for some time about the health of the Crown Prince of Japan. An attack of typhoid fever, suc- ceeded by other complications, threatened to defy medical skill, but happily his Im- perial Highness is now on the read to recovery. His constitution has always been weak, but his moral endowments being far above the average, the nation would regard his death as a serious calamity, The Chinese Government has consented to allow the establishment of a German settlement at Hankow. A piece of land has been selected for the purpose outside the 'rungchia gate. It isto be surveyed by the Hanyang prefect and the district magistrate, and a report will be sent in to the Viceroy at Nanking when the work is completed. The Chinese officials appointed to in- vestigate the circumstances of the Kucheng massacre displayed at the outset a spirit of great obstructiveness. It has always been believed that when capital punish- ment had to be inflicted in China to ex- piate the murder of foreigners, criminals already condemned to death on some other count were produced by the man- darins and substituted for the true assas- sins, and that if such persons were not immediately forthcoming, mendicants or poor coolies were induced to sell their lives, a proceeding never difficult in China. To guard aganst any repetition of such farces the foreign Consuls demanded per- mission to attend the investigations at Kucheng and to sift the evidence for themselves. To that the Chinese strenu- ously objected and a long delay resulted, as the matter had to be referred to Peking. The necessary authority having been at length obtained, the commission com- menced its sittings. Forty “Vegetarians’ had been arrested, and little difficulty was found in convicting eleven of them. The Chinese seem to be acting in good faith, but the utter want of feeling shown by them in the presence of the relics of the unhappy victims of the massacre, and the levity with which they treat the whole affair, have created a very bad impression among foreigners. A number of vhe ‘Vegetarians” that assembled at Kucheng to perpetrate the massacre are said to be starying in their mountain retreats near Kucheng. Only at night do they venture to descend to the plains in search of food. The report that the house of the Rev. Mr. Stewart at Kucheng was rifled by Chi- nese soldiers while the massacre of itsin- mates was 1n progress turns out to be per- fectly true. The soldiers tried to put the blame on the watchman, but the evidence clearly establishes their own guilt. ‘Whether the Government will be induced to punish’ these ruffians or not is very problematical. It is now known that as far back as last March the “Vegetarians” were plotting the outrages that culminated in sucha terrible catastrophe four montbs later. An alarm reached Kucheng on the 27th of March that a ““Vegetarian” raid upon the Christians in the city in particular, and upon the citizens in general was contem- plated, and steps were taken to remove the native Christians from the surrounding districts into the town, the gates of which were closed, and defensive measures of a most defective character were adopted. Indeed the story of that time as told by Mr. Stewart himself shows that the town and all its inhabitants were at the mercy of any band of raiders. This experience confirms the often enunciated theory that if the warnings furnished by events were acted upon by Chinese officials with any promptitude and vigor, most, if not all, of the catastrophes that disfigure the pages of China’s international history would be avoided. DIVERSION OF TRADE. It Goes From Honolulw to the Port of New York. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 20.—A re- port received at the Department of State from Consul-General Ellis Mills, at Hono- lulu, on the diversion of trade from San Francisco to New York, states that during the six months ended June 30, 1894, the total exports from Honolulu to the United States were invoiced at $5,001,538, and for the corresponding period of this year at $4,949,916, & decrease of $51,622. Unfil this year all goods invoiced at Honolulu were consigned to San Fran- cisco. During the six months ended June 30 last, out of $4,949,916 worth of goods ex- &arud $1,132,341 worth of sugar went to ew York by way of Cape Horn, leaving exports for six months given to dln Fran- cisco $3,817,674, as aga‘nn $5,081,538 for a corresponding period of 1894. In consequence of the diversion of this trade to New York the number of Ameri- can vessels leaving San Francisco in bal- last shows a large increase over the cor- responding period of 1894, Richest Carload of Ore. COLORADO SPRINGS, Coro., Sept. 20.— Smelter returns have just been received from a twenty-ton shipment of gold ore recently sent from the Doctor mine at Cripple Creek which yielded $80,000 net, an seerage‘ot $4000 per ton. & This is the richest carload of ore ever shipped from the district, and places the Doctor in the front rank of bonanzas. The Doctor is located on Raven Hill, in close proximity to the Raven, Ingham, Moose and other well-known produeers, WANT YANK SULLIVAN Fitzsimmons’ Backers Favor Him for Referee. CORBETT NOT PRESENT. The Champion Also Fails to Send a Representative to the Meeting. DELAY IS NOW THE ORDER. The Man to Decide Questions Will Not Be Chosen Perhaps Until the Eleventh Hour. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 20.—The im- portant act of selecting a referee for the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight, *which it was proposed to settle this morning, has been postponed until aimost the very hour be- fore the battle. Joe Vendig, acting for the Florida Athletic Club, and Martin Julian, the manager for Fitzsimmons, met in the office of a New York sporting paper this morning and decided to let the selection of a referee go until October 81, when the principals, managers and all others inter- ested would be in Dallas. From the lists submitted each side will agree upon the man who will decide on all the questions that may arise. Each side, according to the understanding this morn- ing, will submit to the other the names of four men, or more, if necessary, from which to make a selection. There was no one present at the meeting this morning who represented Corbett. The champion had been asked to beon band or send a representative. He wired back that only Brady, his manager, could act for him in a matter of such import- ance. Brady is in Boston and could not .get here to-day. He asked that the meet- ing be postponed until to-morrow morn- ing. Julian said that any date for a meeting was agreeable to him, and then added that Fitzsimmons would not consent to select- ing a referee so long before the fight, un- less Yank Sullivan was mutually agreed upon as the one to hold that position. Julian said that Corbett had announced that Yank Sullivan would be agreeable to him in the capacity of referee, and the manager of Fitzsimmons added Sullivan was perfectly agreeable to them. He was perfectly willing to agree on Sullivan at the moment, but beyond Sullivan they would decide on no one until the day be- fore the fight. Subsequently it was decided to hold another meeting to-morrow, as Fitzsim- mons and his manager are firm in their decision not to select a referee until just before the fight. The meeting will result in nothing unless Yank Sullivan be chosen, 7 5 ON THE EASTERN TRACKS. Winners of Purses and Stakes in Some Noted Contests. BRIGHTON BEACH, N.

NAPA, Oan., Sept. 20.—Walter Foster set 4 new mark this morning for the half- mile scorchers at the Napa track. He was paced by Jones, Nissen, Cushing and Smith on the quad, and made the half in 48 seconds. A strong north wind was blowing, which retarded the riders on the last half of the course. Foster was unable to pass the quad, but doubled on its hind wheel at the finish. The first quarter was done in :25, and the second in :23. By re- quest Foster also rode an exhibition mile, paced by a quad, in 1:504-5,but the wind was blowing a gale at the time. To-morrow, if there is not too much wind, he hopes to lower his unofficial mile record of 1:45. The races to-day went off without par- ticular incident. Ten furlong scratch, class A, first heat, Down- ing won, Metcali second, Chapman third. Time, 3:34. Second heat, Ackerman won, Byrne second, McFarland third. Time, 3:27 1-5. Final heat, Ackerman won, McFarland sec- ound, Byrne third. Time, 2:51 3-5. Ackermen hung on to the tandem all the way around in the final and finished 100 yards ahead of the others.

Final, Downing won, Craft third. Time. 2:48. Metcalf’s record for the half mile yester- day was :56 2-5, instead of as announced. The riders are all delighted with the con- dition of the track, and are hoping for no wind to-morrow. A large number of wheelmen from San Francisco are ex- pected. Many arrived to-night. Foster's performance yesterday, fol- lowed by that of to-day, is the talk of the town. The universal opinion is that if the wind had not been blowing he could have made the half inat least a second better time. The programme to-morrow will contain amile handicap, class A; mile scratch, class B; half mile scratch, class A; two- mile handicap, class B, and five-mile lap race, class A. If the conditions are favor- able there will also be a number of trials for records by riders who have not entered in any of the races. ss_B, Edwards won, 3-5. 1o Agnue, .

San Francisco Athletes Charged With Crooked Work at Stocktom. STOCKTON, Car., Sept. 20.—The tug- of-war contest here this evening between a local Italian team and the International American team of San Francisco ended up in a row after Referee Cavaganaro had awarded the tug to the Italians, Earlier in the evening Charles Moth, under whose management the affair took place, declared the match off on account of rumored job work, but the teams pulled anyhow. The police were kept busy keep- ing the crowd quiet. 7 %he Italians had too easy a victory to satisfy the crowd. ‘Those who had money upon the San Francisco pullers became riotous and the affair broke up in great disorder. 1t is openly charged that the match was thrown by the San Francisco team. 5 Charles Moth, instructor of the Stockton Athletic Club, won the wrestling match with George Steely.

Race of the Baltimores and Clevelands to Soon Close. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 20.—The Na- tional League championship season will wind up one week from next Monday. At present the race between the Baltimores and the Clevelands for the pennant is ex- citing widespread interest, as each team has a chance for the honors. The Clevelands have five games yet to play—two with Pittsburg, one with Chi- cago and two with Louisville, 1f they win them all their record will be 86 victories, 46 defeats and .656 perchtage. The Baltimores have nine games ta play and all are hard to win. Two are with the Brooklyns at Eastern Park, three are with the Philadelphias in Baltimore and the re- maining four are with the New Yorks at the Polo grounds. In order to win the championship the Baltimores must win six 0? these nine games, which will make their record at the finish eig six victories, forty-four defeats and .662 percentage. If they should lose four games the pennant wowd fizo to Cleveland, asthe percentage of Hanlon’s men would then be .654, or two points less than that of the other team. Close observers are figuring on Oleveland as the final winner, for they have slated the Baltimores to lose one game to Brooklyn, another to Philadelphia and possibly two to the New Yorks. The latter series will 'wind up the league season in this city and bids fair to be one of the most exciting on record _There is no love lost between the New Yorks and Baltimores, and even now the local man- agement is saving Meekin for a game against the champions. — ENGLISH ATHLETES FAVORITES. Sudden Snift in the Betting on To-Day’s ZInternational Contest. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 20.—Monta- gue Sherman, manager of the London Athletic Club team, Charles Herbert, sec- retary of the A. A. U. of England, James C. Gulick, secretary, and R. C. Williams, chairman of the athletic committee of the New York Athletic Club, met this after- noon and made the final arrangements for the games at Manhattan field to-marrow. One important change was made in the programme. The 220-vard run, originally sixth on the list, was shifted to fifth place, and the fifth placed sixtb. Incase ofdead heatsin the 100-yard run, they must be run off fifteen minutes from the time of occurrence. Every event on the pro- ramme is a final, with two contestants rom each team. The arrangements were all made without the slightest friction. Matters have taken such a shape that the English athletes have | become favorites in the betting. Eleven events are on the programme, and the club winning the greatest number of first places will, of course, be the winner. In the 100-yard race the New York Ath- letic Club will start B. J. Wefers and John V. Crum, and the Londoners Bradley and Downer. From ali accounts Bradley is a wonder. . He modestly says he can run in 10 seconds, and if Wefers and Crum can | run in 94-5they will win. In the 440- yard run New Yorkers will pin their faith to Burke of Boston, with Sands as the runner-up. The two fliers for the Eng- hishmen are W. Fitzherbert and Jordan.
