" VOLUME LXXIX.—NO. 100. PRICE FIVE CENT VALENCIA UNDER MARTIAL LAW, Spanish Officials Forced to Resort to Extreme Measures. MOBS ARE FIRED UPON. Rioters Attempt to Attack the United States Consulate at Bilbao. FRENZIED CLAMOR FOR WAR. The Grada Chamber of Commerce Calls for a Boycott on Ameri- can Trade. MADRID, Spary, March 8.—The action of the mob element in Valencia became so threatening that martial law was pro- claimed in that city to-night. A crowd numbering fully 10,000 persons met out- side the bull-ring and attempted to enter that place for the purpose of holdinga meeting to express anti-American senti- ments. The authoritis had issued an order forbidding the holding of such meet- ings, but no attention was paid to it. The gendarmes at the bull-ring refused to allow the mob to enter, and were told that they were traitors to Spain. Then several per- sons in the crowd cried “Long live the re- poblic!” whereupon the gendarmes charged the mob. The crowd answered with sev- eral revolyer shots, one of the gendarmes being seriously wounded in the chest. The situation has assumed such & men- acing aspect that orders were given to the gendarmes to fire upon the mob. A volley was fired from the carbines carried by the gendarmes, and the crowd scurried for shelter. It not known positively whether anybody was shot or not, but it is believed that the volley was fired over the beads of the rioters. the crowd returned, and with augmented numbers the mob marched through the streets shouting “Long live Spain,” “Death to the Yankees!” The police and gendarmes repeatedly ovposed the crowd, but their efforts to re- store order were not of the slightest avail. The Governor of the province then pro- claimed martial law, and any further rioting will be dealt with sternly by the military power. The Gevernor, acting under imperative orders from Madrid, had concentrated a strong force around the American consul- ate. The crowd attempted to pass these guards, but were unable to do so. Then they hurled insults at the American Gov- ernment and the American people. To-night the city is quiet, the mob not having the courage to face the troops who are awaiting orders to deal with rioters. There were several small disturbances to-day at Saragossa, but the authorities were alert and determined, and the rioters were easily dispersed. At Bilbao a crowd of 500 persons at- tempted to make an attack upon the American consulate, but were prevented by the police. At Valencia posters were put upon the walls declaring that Spain must go to war with the United States and put a curb on Yankee arrogance. The shipowners of Seville have offered to the Government fifty steamers to put to any use the authorities may deem ex- pedient. Some of these steamers are trad- ing 1n England. The Chamber of Commerce of Grada has issued a circular note iaviting all Spanish merchants to break their commercial rela- tions with the United States and to cancel their policies of insurance issued by Ameri- can companies. have already done so. Several more Spanish subjects, who were acting as American consular agents, have resigned as a protest against the at- titude of the United States toward Spain. Indignation meetings were held to-day in many places in the provinces. It was learned to-night that the aemon- stration at Valencia to-day was organized by the Republicans. The gendarme who was wounded by a revolver shot was a corporal. Hedied to-night from the ef- fects of his injuries. During the rioting three civilians were injured. Nine of the rioters were arrested. A priest was stoned by the mob. 18 e ALFONSO HANGED IN EFFIGT. Chicago Y¥oung Persons Hatred for Spain. CHICAGO, Irn., March 8.—His Royal Majesty Alfonso, King of Spain, was hanged in effigy last night in the vicinity of Madison street 'and Campbell avenue. The crowd of enthusiastic young persons, who performed the job escaped iaentifica- tion. The figure was suspended from a rope, which was thrown over a telegraph wire. The effigy hung fifteen feet in the air and attracted a crowd of persons, who gazed at the fearful and wonderful piece of con- struction and inwardly saw visions of war and guns. Upon that part of the effigy’s anatomy which would ordinarily be called the breast was the following inscription: ALFONSO XIIL King of Sprin. Sic Semper rannis. The effigy was first discovered by a woman. The figure seemed so real, hang- ingin a dark street as it did, that _uhe fainted and had to be carried to a neigh- boring store. RIOTS IN BARCELONA. Gendarmes Prevent an Attack Upon the American Consulate. BARCELONA, Spary, March 8.—This city was the scene to-day of further demonstrations against the United States. The bands in the places of public resort played patriotic airs and were encored sgain and again. People on the boulevard sang patriotic songs and there was much Later the courage of | Many of the merchants | Show Their | cheering for Spain and shouting of ‘‘Death to the Yankees!” It was evident from the conversations everywhere heard that a war with the United States would meet with popular approval, but the Government is not pay- ing much attention to the populace beyond preventing it, so far as possible, from act- ing 1n adisorderly manner. It being Sunday the authorities feared that the demonstrations might become riotous and extra precautions were taken to quell disorders in their incipiency. As the day wore on the crowds in the streets rapidly increased .in numbers. The gen- darmes were in force to prevent any too large an assemblage. When a large crowd would gather in the main streets the mounted gendarmes would charge into it and drive the people into the side streets. Many persons gathered about the French consulate and enthusiastically cheered for France, which country, according to popu- lar belief, would surely be an ally of Spain in the event of a war with the United States. The strong guard that was placed some days ago about the American consulate was strengthened to-day and it was well that this was done, as the crowd attempted several times to approach it with the un- doubted intention of again attacking it. The guards were very vigilant in repell- ing the mob, and finally the latter, seeing that a more determined attempt to attack the consulate would result in bloodshed, sullenly withdrew to give veft to their patriotism in other directions. e ASPAIN'S FLAG DISHONORFED. Evanston Mtudents Imitate the Frenzied Youths of Madrid. CHICAGO, IL.,, March 8.—At the close of a cl. party which was given last even- i v the students of the Northwestern University at Evanston one of the boys mounted a chair, tore a big Spanish flag {in two, and there was an instant rush for the pieces. Before the flag was allowed to fall to the floot it was torn into a number of pieces, so that every person might have one as a memento of the occasion. The young men worked themselves up to quite a frenzy and their warlike mani- festations were vigorously applauded by the girls who were interested spectators. The disturbance twas finally' quelled by some of the older members of the class and the warlike young men contented themselves with marching up and down the street singing songs and giving three groans for the flag. EXPEDITION TO CUBA. A4 Filibuster Believed to Have Sailed ZFrom Philadelphi PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 8.—Un- dismayed by the failure of several -expedi- | tions sent from this country to, aid their | struggling compatriots, the residentCubans of the United States are said to have fitted out and dispatched another vessel to Cuba. Itis reported that this vessel left here on Thursday last. She took no munitions of war aboard at this port, but it is said that the arms and ammunition were transferred to her after she got to sea | and beyond the three-mile limit. Notning definite in relation to the vessel could be learned here. The local Cuban leaders would not walk about the expedi- tion. The Widow of P. T. Barnum Will Return to This Coun- try to Live. Castles and Estates of Which Her Greek Husband Boasted Found to Have Been, Mythical. NEW YORK, N. Y. March 8.—A Bridgeport (Conn.) special says: Mrs, Nancy Barnum Callias, widow of P.T. Barnum and now the wife of Demetrius Callias Bey, the Greek nobleman, is com- ing back to America to live and, inall vrobability, will make this city her home in the future. Since the news of her return became known it has been asserted by many of her friends that she is disappointed in her marriage to the Greek, but this is denied by Benjamin Fish of this city, a cousin of Mrs. Caliias. There is one thing certain, however, and that is the amount of wealth Callais possessed is hot as great as was represented at the time of the marriage. Ths wedding of Mrs. Barnum to the Greek nobleman took place in the Greek church in New York City on August8, 1895. Only afew of the intimate friends of Mrs, Barnum knew of it until the cere- mony had been performed. It wasa great surprize that she had selected a foreigner for a husband. When it was said that he had several millions of dollars that set- tled it. After the ceremony Calliasand his bride sailed for Paris and since that time they have traveled in Europe. When they ar- rived at the Greek’s estates on the island of Melita, where 1t was said he possessed great olive plantations, Mrs. Callias was surprised and disappointed to learn the true value of her husband’s possessions. Then the Bey endeavored to get her to erect a grand palace on her estate, or in some other part of Europe, but she de- clined to invest any partof ber money abroad and decided to return to America. In letters to Mrs. Wiiliam Perry and Mrs. Jerome Orcutt of this city she speaks of her early return to America, but does not inter that the Bey will accompany her. At the death of the veteran showman he left his widow $100,000, Marina, the beau- tiful home in this city, and an annuity of $40,000 a year. The marriage contract with Callias was of such a nature that he could not obtain any part of her fortune. Marina has been in the market for some time, but has been withdrawn. Benjamin Fish, Mr. Callias’ cousin, says: “1t is true Callias is not asrich as he said he was. But as for a separation, I do not believe the story. Itis not likely that he is going to lose what he has. I expect that they will be back this spring, and it is probable they will live in New York.” Eouigt Officers Kill an Outlaw., MONTGOMERY, ArA., Mawch 8§ — “Railroad Bill,”” the desperate negro who for three years past has terrorized the train hands on the Louisville and Nash- ville road, was killed last night at Atmore, near Brewton, Ala., by three deputy sher- iffs. He walked into a country store, was recognized and shot without ceremony. A reward of several thousand dollars was of- fered for his capture dead or alives DECENED BY THE By, |form a new ministry, had to look in CUBA FINDS A PROTECTOR AT LAST. KNG HUMBERTS NEW MINISTRY, General Ricotti Selects a Cabinet to Succeed that of Crispi. RUDINI IS AGAIN PREMIER. Rioters at Pavia Charged Upon by Cavalry Troops—Trouble Feared at Naples. ROME, Itary, March 8.—King Hum- bert, who asked Signor Saracco, Minister of Public Works in the Crispi Cabinet, to another direction for a new Prime Minis- ter, Signor Saracco having failed in his at- tempt to get a satisfactory Cabinet. 1t is stated that the task of constructing a new ministry was offered to General Ricotti, who would yield the Prime Min- istry to Marquis di Rudini. At a late hour to-night it was reported that these selec- tions as Ministers had been made: Prime Minister and probably Minister of {he Interior, Marquis di Rudini. Minister of War, General Ricotti. Minister of Foreign Affairs, Signor Brin. Minister of the Treasury, Signor Pirazzi. Minister of Marine, Admiral Racchin. Minister of Finance, Signor Guicciardini. Minister of Justice, Signor Granturco. The Ministers of Commerce, Public In- struction, Public Works and Posts and Telegraphs are still vazant. The Marquis di Rudini was Prime Min- ister from February 6, 1891, to May 5, 1892, During this time occurred the trouble with the United States, growing out of the lynching of a number of Italians at New Orleans. Then as now the Marquis snc- ceeded Signor Crispi as Prime Minister, the latter having been overthrown on a financial question. At Naples, where the transports are waiting to receive re-enforcements for the African army, the people are greatly ex- cited and seem determined to oppose the embarking of the troops. There was a repetition of the disorders at Pavia last night, and for a time the mob held possession of the town. Re-en- forcements of troops were hastily sent to the place and on their arrival the garrison cavalry charged the rioters, who were then gathered in front of the prefecture. Quite a number of persons were injured by being struck by the hoofs of the horses or by the flat sides of the cavairymen’s sabers, The commander of the squadron of cavalry was wounded. Fifteen of the leaders of the mob were placed under arrest. FUNDS FOR SUFFERERS. Ten Thousand Dollars Dispatched to Armenta. NEW YORK, N, Y., March 8.—The fol- lowing urgent appeal has been received from Constantinople by Armenian Relief Commission: order that we may push forward and make the most of the present time.” @In response $10,000 was sent on through Brown Brows. & Co., 59 Wall street, New York, who are the autborized treasurers of the Armenian relfef fund and of the Red Cross, and 10 whom all contributions should be sent. THC greatest-obstacle to the work of relief now is not from the Turks but from lack of funds.

He Commanded the Gunboats Taylor and Lexington During the Civil War. BROOKLYN, N. Y., March 8 —Rear- Admiral Henry Walker, U. 8. N., died this afternoon at his home in this city. He had been suffering since Tuesday last from a severe attack of the grip, but the imme- diate cause of death was heart failure. He was born on a plantation on the Lynhaven Ruiver, Virginia, 88 years ago. During the war of the rebellion he com- ton, and protected General Grant’s army while it was making its retreat on the transports. He was also at the batile of Fort Henry in charge of the gunboat Corandelet. Not one of the men aboard met with any accident. For this piece of work the commander was honorably men- tioned. In 1862 for his bravery he was made a captain, in 1866 he was madea commodore, and became a rear-admiral in 1870. One year later he retired.

Evidence of a Ghastly Crime Discovered by a Chicago Ragpicker. SLAIN AND HACKED TO PIECES. The Dismembered Remains of an Old Man and a Babe’s Corpse Uncovered. CHICAGO, IrL., March 8.—The body of a man chopped to pieces, together with an infaut with its skull crushed, was found stuffed into a barrel in an alley at the rear of 4829 Prairie avenue this afternoon. Tony Ungone was picking rags in the al- ley back of the home of J. A. Nourse, when he came across a barrel with an old shirt tied over the top of it. He com- menced to overhaul the barrel for rags, and the first thing he picked up was the head of a man with long gray whiskers, He dropped it in terror and ran out of the alley to the street, where he notified the -| first policeman he could find. As soon as the police were summoned they sent the barrel to the Hyde Park Morgue, and on emptying it it was found that it contained the remains of a man about 70 years old and a male infant about ten days old. The body of the man was fearfully mutilated. The head had been taken off and two holes had been bored into tlie skull at the forehead with an auger. Theright leg was cut off above the knee, two toes from the foot of the same leg having been appar- ently severed with a cleaver. The right arm was pulled out of its socket, the left foot was sawed off at the ankle and the fingers separated from the left hand. The body of the infant was intact, except that the skull was fractured. The killing must have been done at least two weeks ago. No articles of clothing were found, except a homespun shirt which, together with some cotton padding, was wrapped around the head and shoul- ders of the man. There is every evidence that while the murder was committed some days ago, the bodies were not placed in the alley until last night. Mr. Nourse noticed the barrel in his alley this morning early, but did not pay any attention to it, thinking it was a BARCELONA’S PRINCIPAL AVENUE, THE RAMBLA [Near the corner shown in the engraving stands the United States Consulate, which was stoned by a mob ‘on Sunday, the Ist inst.] DE SANTA MONICA. Ly i garbage barrel put out by some of hgs neighbors. There is no clew as to how it got into the alley. The neighborhood is sparsely populated and few policemen pa- trol the district. The ground was frozen 50 that no fresh wagon wheel tracks can be discerned. e Lying on a slab at Rolston’s morgue is the mutilated body of a man who was pulled out of the lake last Surday, which is still unidentified, and now the Hyde Park police have a more horrible and mys- terious case, and in neither case have they any clew to work upon. As the features of their last find, however, are intact, it is hoped that the bodies found to-day will be soon identified. The only theory that is advanced for the brutal hacking of the body is that some one did it in the hope of creating the theory that the body had been dissected by medical students. The boring of holes in the skull, it is thought, was done especially for this reason and the police believe that a woman did the horrible deed, as such a poor job was made of it. The shirt found would indicate that the man was a farmer and it is not thought that money could have been the object of the killing. The officers, of whom there are now twenty working on the case, are going on the theory that the child was born out of wedlock and the old man was the father or grand- father of the mother; that she perhaps lived alone with the old man and there was a fight over the birth of the child, which ended in murder. They believe that the body has been kept awaiting an opportunity to get a con- federate to dispose of it. Early in the afternoon, before the dis- covery was made, a woman called to the morgue over the telephone and asked if the body of an old man bad been received. The description she gave tallies with that of the body found later. It is thought, however, that this was only a coincidence. The physician examined the bodies to- night and said that the dissecting could not have been done by a medical student, no matter how inexperienced, and as the remains have not been 1n a pickling vat it is almost assured that murder was com- mitted. ACTED LIKE OUTLAWS. Youths Pretend to Hold Up a Train and Are Fired Upon. JOLIET, ILL., March 8.—Three boys got on the Rock Island train which left Chi- cago at 10 o’clock last night at the station known as The Chute and created a dis- turbance which nearly cost one of them his life. As the first of the boys entered the car he shouted: “Hands up!” and in- stautly bands were up in all parts of the car. 1n the second seat from the door sat a gentleman. who carried a revolver, and when his hand went up a pistol was in it. He fired point blank at the first of the would-be robbers, and with a yell the three boys ran out and jumped from the moving train. The conductor thinks the affair was an escapade of three young toughs of Joliet and does not believe they intended to rob anybody. Loo g E iy ‘ ~ “Sutoide in a Content. MARYSVILLE, Mo., March 8.—Mary McMahon, a novice with the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception here, who came from' Shelbina, Mo., hanged herself here yesterday.

MURDERED FOR HIS GOLD Footpads Kill a Long Island Business Man in Front of His Dweiling. Crush His Skull With Blows From Bludgeons as He Lies Senseless on the Ground. HEMPSTEAD, N.Y., March 7.—Stephen Powell, one of the wealthiest and most prominent men on Long Island, was mur- dered in a most brutal manner at about 11 o'clock last night, as he was returning from his place of business on Main street to his home on Fulton street. Mr. Powell was in the habit of carrying large sums of money upon his person. It is supposed that his murderer or murderers learned of this fact and awaited an opportunity to waylay him. The murder occurred in front of Mr. Powell’s home. Directly opposite the gate an electric light was brightly shining. His assailants are supposed to have been hiding behind the electric-light pole, and as Mr. Powell passed he was struck over the right eye, the blow cutting a long gash. There is also a cut on the left wrist, but this wound was probably received while endea- voring to defend his face. The blow evidently knocked Mr. Powell senseless and his assailants then struck him terrific blows on the back of his head, which crushed in, the skull. He was found at 11:15 o’clock by a neighbor, who carrded him into the house and then sum- moned medical aid. Mr. Powell died a few minutes later, however, without hav- ing regained consciousness. Three negroes were arrested to-day on suspicion of being implicated in the mur- der. 'They are Van Rensselaer Simpson, John A. Wayne and Arthur Mayhew. They were held to await the action of the Coroner’s jury. Several other men, both white and colored, are under suspicion. Mr. Powell had $200 in an inside pocket, which was unnoticed by his assailants, and they obtained only about $260 in change. The Trustees of Hempstead village to-day offered a reward of $1000 for the conviction of the murderer or murderers. DSy FAVORED BY WORKMEN. Two Bills to Be Submitted for Congres- sional Action. TERRE HAUTE, Ixp., March 8.—T, W. Harper, attorney of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, has left for Washing- ton to make an argument before a Congres- siona! committee 1 favor of two bills he has prepared. One provides for an appeal in contempt cases in United States courts, and for trial by jury when the alleged contempt is not committed in the presence of the court, which would apply in such cases as that of Debs. The other is for compulsory settlement of wage dispates on interstate railroads. While it is in the nature of compulsory arbitration, so called, Mr. Harper contends that it Congress has the anthority to regulate freight rates it may also regulate the wages of cmployes, . immediate and WEYLER GIVES TEN DAYS GRACE, All Cubans Must Declare Allegiance or Suffer the Penalty. LINES TO BE DRAWN. Those Classed as Sympathizers Are to Be Treated as Insurgents. PROPERTY T0 BE CONFISCATED Armed Rebels Surrendering Within the Time Limit Will Receive Pardons. 3 HAVANA, Cusa, March 8.—The follows Ing proclamation was issued by Captaine General Weyler to-day: Harassed by our troops, beaten and demors alized, the rebel forces in the provinces of Pinar del Rio and Havana are returning east. The moment has arrived to pursue with all activity and vigor the small parties, more bandits than insurgents, remaining in sald provinces,and to adopt the necessary means to attain greater and more immediate success. The authorities of the towns are given ten days in which to make lists of the people in their localities who are in insurrection. Those who tail in presente ing themselves within fifteen days of the pube lication of this proclamation, their properties will be seized and subjected to civil adminis, tration, for which a board will be appointed. If rebel parties have robbed, sacked, burned or committed other crimes besides rebellion the authorities shall inquire into the part taken by those. Rebels in the ranks and aisa neighbors remaining in their houses helping these shall receive a corresponding penalty. Rebels not responsible for other crimes, who surrender to the nearest authority in either province within fifteen days, will not be mo« lested, the military authorities keeping a list of those thus presenting themselyes, those pree viously pardoned, those who have committed other’ crimes and those who have deserted offi cial positions, which shall be placed at my dise posal; those presenting themselves with armg (with & special recommendation if made cole lectively), and all those presenting themselves after the expiration of the time placed by my disposal. Planters, estate-owners and others within said provinces, who facilitate with money the elements of whatever class, except they have been compelled to do 80 by pressure, which must be proved in an undoubied menner, will be considered unfaithful for supporting rebellion. A circular was also issued, stating that those rebels presenting themselves with their arms in the four other provinces would be pardoned, subject to the super- vision of the military. Those presenting themselves without arms would be sent to military camps, where they would be held under the vigilance of the troops. The last of the 1700 new troops arrived on the steamer Santiago last night. Yesterday the columns of Gomez and Maceo, numbering 7000 men, were near Corral Falzo, in the center of the province of Matanzas. They were attacked by Colonel Vicuna and retreated to San Miguel de Los Banos. It is officially re- ported that seventy-one of the insurgents were killed. They carried off their wounded. The Spanish loss was three killed and nineteen wounded. General Pando reports that Gomez is paseing Voladores, near the line of the Havana province. Three columns are pursuing him. A passenger train on the Cardenas Raile way has been burned. Its escort caused a loss to the rebels. J. FRANK CLARK.
