Fatal Culmination of a Bitter Rivalry Over Country Print. ing. WELLINGTON, Kaxs., April 11.—A dreadful tragedy was enacted at South Haven, in this county, yesterday. It was the culmination of a bitter war between rival newspaper editors, and Charles Branscomb, editor of the South Haven New Era, was the innocent victim. Robert Simmons, editor of the Caldwell | Ne and A. A. Richards, editor of the | Wellington Daily Mail, became invotved in_a newspaper fizht over the county printing about a year ago, and recently both have indulged in bitter personalities. A recent article in the Mail especially severe on the editor of the News pro- voked the encounter. Simmons and his sick wife were on the | northbound 'Frisco accommodation yes- terday, en route home, and when the train stopped at South Haven for passengers, Simmons stepped to the depot platform. A. A. Richards and Charles Branscomb met bim there by chance. Richards and Simmons quarreled, and both became wildly excited, drawing revolvers and fir- ing at each other. At the fifth shot Brans- (l-umb fell forward, exclaiming: “My God, 'm shot!” Bystanders rushed in and disarmed the rivals, and an examination showed that Branscomb was fatally wounded. He lin- gered until to-night. 2 No arrests have vet been made. It is not known which man fired the fatal shot. Bran:comb was a warm personal friend of Colonel Richards. The affair has created a profound sensation. Pressed by the Matabeles. BULUWAYO, Sours AFricA, April11.— Captain Brand, in command of a column which is at a point thirty miles distant from here, has sent a request for help, he being pressed by the Matabeles. Captain MacFarlane and 230 men will go to the assistance of the column. s, SLOW ADVANCE IN THE SOUDAN, English Forces Hampered by Poor River Service and Forage. | ABSORBS THE RESERVE. Egyptian Funds Will Be All Consumed Before Contact With Dervishes. BUILDING FORTS IN THE HILLS. Active Operations Cannot Be Started Before the Middle of July. LONDON, ExG., April 11.—As far as it has gone, the Soudan expedition is disap- pointing to the War Office and the Gov- ernment. Dispatches are sent daily from Cairo praising the rapidity of the move- ments at the frontand the completeness of the preparations. The truth, as known at the War Office, which is sustained by private advices, is that the advance be- yond Assouan is excessively slow, being hampered by deficient river service and want of forage. The worst feature for the Government is the enormouns and unex- pected expenditures that have been and are yet to be made. Lord Cromer, the British diplomatic agentat Cairo, advises that it will beearly necessary to draw upon the Egyptian treasury for £1,000,000 in addition to the £500,000 already drawn, and this fact ren- ders it probable that the entire reserve of the Egyptian debt commission will be ui- timately absorbed in preparations before there is an actual contract with the Der- vishes. No authority ventures to specu- late as to what will happen when the re- serve is exhausted. Until September the only forward move- ment from Akasheh that is likely to be made will be to Firket, ten miles up the river. This will be merely due to the dis- covery that Akasheh is a bad strategic point. The place is surrounded by low hills commanding the camp, and for this reason it has already been found advisable to form a chain of fortsin the hills. The sanitation of the camp is bad. The mer- cury reaches an average of 106 deg. in the shade and this extreme heatimpedes the work of even the Fellaheen laborers. At ‘Wady-Halfa a large number of men be- longing to the North Staffordshire Regi- ment have been invalided by the heat. That no operations of importance are in- tended during the summer is evident from the fact that General Sir Redvers Buller is reported to have been nominated for the chief command of the expedition. He will not leave England until July, when the campaign will be fairly entered upon, The Nile will be the sole line of advance. Lord Wolseley, the commander-in-chief of the British forces, has decided against a | march across the long stretch of desert be- | | tween Suakim, the Red Sea and the Ber- “ ber. | LONDON, ExG., April i1.—The com- munications that are passing between | Chamberlain and President Kruger, will, | when published, be found to be models of frank and direct statement on the part of the formerand of diplomatic finesse,veiled with an air of simplicity, on the part of the latter. The representative of The United Press is able to predict, on thoroughly reliable information, that Mr. Chamberlain will come out of the negotiations with a high reputation. Throughout the communica- tions he has not budged from his public declarations to adhere to the Anglo-Boer convention of 1884, while respecting .the internal independence of the republic. Whether the country will uitimately confirm Chamberlain’s policy is doubtful, but it is impossible that the developments will show him to have been duped by | Presidect Kruger. The present clanse em- | powers the Transvaal to conclude treaties with foreign powers, subject to the veto of Great Britain. This clause Chamberlain has sought to have altered by making Great Britain a party to the treaties on lines simiiar to those existing in the case of Great Britain and her | colonies. With regard to the protec- tion of foreign residents of the republic, Chamberlain continues to recommend that franchise be given to them after five years, and also recommends autonomy for the Rand, the measures there adopted to be subject 1o the veto power of the President. To none of these proposals has President Kruger definitely assented. The position just misses a deadlock through the ‘shifti- ness of the Pretoria Government. A re- port is credited that Chamberlain has asked the assent of his colleagues to a proposal | not to wait for the decision of the Voiks- raad regarding the visit of Kruger to London, but to'send & plenipotentiary to Pretoria as a last effort to arrange the terms of settlement. — - EXPULSION OF KNAPP. Great Secrecy Was Maintained by the Turkish Officials. LONDON, Ex6., April 11.—The Sun publishes a Constantinople dispatch to a news agency here stating that the Turkish officials at Bitlis received orders from per- sons in high authority to expel the Rev. | G. P. Knapp, the American missionary, from that place. The dispatch further states that but for Mr. Hampson, the British Consul at Bitlis, the expulsion of Knapp would not have been known until he had reached Alexandretta. As it was the matter had been conducted so secretly that Missionary Knapp had been ex- elled from Bitlis a week beiore Mr. ampson became avare of the fact. Ow- ing to the bad condition of the roads, the dispatch adds, Mr. Knapp was unable to take his fam ey GO Examinations for Promotion. WASHINGTON. D. C., April 11.—By direction of the Secretary of War Lieuten- ant-Colonel Evan Miles, First Infantry, | and Major Tully McCrea, Fifth Artillery, are detailed as members of the examining board convened at the Presidio, San Fran- cisco, to relieve Captains Charles Morris and Ellbridge R. Hills, Fifth Artillery, during the examination of Captains Con- stant Willisms, Seventh Infantry; Edward G. Mathey, Seventh Cavalry, and Erasmus C. Gilbreth, Eleventh Infantry. After these examinations shall have been con- cluded Captains Morris and Hills will re- sume their seats on the board and Lieu- tenant-Colonel Miles will return to his proper station. —-— Fatal Collision of Torpedo-Boats. WILHELMSHAVEN, GErMAxY, April 11.—Two torpedo-boats collided off this port this afternoon. One of the boats sank almost immediately and five of the crew were drowned. The other boat was badly damaged. The boats were making trial trips when the collision occurred. OPERATIONS OF THE INSURGENTS, Aggressiveness of Patriots Who Are Fighting for Freedom. MANY TOWNS ATTACKED Spanish Troops Trying to Pre- vent Maceo From Crossing the Trocha. SAY THE LEADER IS DOOMED. Nevertheless the Daring Cubans Enter Havana Province When They Please. HAVANA, Cusa, April 11 (via Key West, Fla., April 11).—The insurgent forces operating in many parts of the island have been aggressive the past week. Half a dozen towns in Havana province alone have been attacked. The troops in- variably remain safely cooped up in forts, allowing the rebels full swing. All avail- able Spanish froops are stationed on the Trocha between Mariel and Majana to pre- vent the return of Maceo to Havana. A score of small parties of insurgents united with Lacrete's column and others from the east have gathered on the Havana side of the line with the apparent inten-. tion of aiding Maceo to cross. The Spaniards are satisfied that Maceo is doomed. The Cubans say he can cross when he pleases. The Spaniards have 25,000 men along the line. Maceo has 10,000 in his column; 5000 others are west and about 5000 east of the line. Aside from these operations 3000 insur- gents have appeared fifieen miles east of Havana. Their purpose is not clear. Gomez is reported in the vicinity of the Puerto Principe line. One objest of his march east is to receive arms and ammu- nition landed on the recent trip of the Commodore on the north coast of Cama- guey. Reports received from reliable sources state that General Melguizo, Colonels Mo- tina and Tort and others continue killing peaceable Cubans. Melguizo is said to have kilied nine employes on estates in the vicinity of Campo Florido. Afterward, boasting of the deed, he said: ‘“The pa- cificos are the worst kind of rebels. All should be swent off.” General Prats’ column operating against Lacrete had a skirmish with the rear guard of the rebels on April 2 on Nievez estate near Limonar, Matanzas. The estate belongs to a French citizen, M. de Freville. The rebels retired without losses. Colonel Prats, son of the general, was wounded on the Spanish side. The troops took four men, colonists on the estate, from the houses and shot them through the bodies. The cane fields were fired. They also burned the residences of the | Vaga Lantigue Lopez colonies, causing | over $3000 damages to the estate. The | men killed were peaceful, unarmed citi- | zens. Their names were Jose Quintana, 65 years; Juan Pino, 70, both leszees of colonies; Enrique Quintana, 16, and Cecil | Oliver, 22 years, cartmen. General Prats was in personal command. His official report says: “Insurgents were dislodged from their positions in the hills of the Nievez and Saratoga estates after one hour's firing, causing five deaths and capturing eight horses and effects. Our force had no losses.” gt ol ORI BURNED BY THE REBELS. Damages Asked for the Destruction o[’ an Estate. HAVANA, Cusa, April 11.—The Morali- | tos estate, the property of Manuel Anton Morales, an American citizen, has been burned by the rebels and the owner has filed a claim with the United States Consul | for damages in the sum of $200,000. The San Antonio estate, near Alquizar, owned | by Mamerto Pulido and valued at $500,000, has also been burned by the insurgents, and the magnificent Diana estate in the province of Matanzas, belonging to Count Diana and worth over $500,000, has like- wise been destroyed by fire. Fourteen political prisoners were de- ported to Ceuta, a Spanish fort in Mo- rocco containing a convict settlement, yes- terday. General Suarez Valdez reports that the rebel leader, Quintin Banderas, made an attempt to attack Guayabo in Pinar del Rio province and was repulsed, leaving | thirty-five dead on the field. The Spanish troops had one captain wounded. The | rebels also attempted to enter the town of | Candelaria, in the same province, but | were driven off with severe loss. | fooon iy o ASRKS FOR MORE TROOPS. Weyler Has Not Ended the War by Any Means. MADRID, Spars, April 11.—Captiain- General Weyler has asked for the ilr medi- ate dispatch of 5000 cavalry to Cuba, and the Minister of War is arranging to send them at once. The War Office is also con- | sidering the question of employing bal- loons in the military service in Cuba. The | naval squadron at Ferrol has gone to Vigo to begin maneuvers. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 11.—The | State Department this morning received | an official dispatch from Consul-General | Williams of Havana, and therefore infer | that the rumor that he had been killed yesterday was unfounded. ASHORE ON XOKANE POINT. The British Ship Carnarvonshire Will | Be a Total Wreck. LONDON, Ex6., April 11.—The British | ship Carnarvonshire, Captain Hughes, | from San Francisco December 11, for | Queenstown, is ashore on Yokane Point, | | near Castletownsend, on the Irish coast. The ship will probably be a total wreck. The crew were saved. The Carnarvonshire was an iron ship of 1727 tons. She was built in Liverpool in 1876, and was owned by Hughes & Co. Her master, Captain Hughes, was one of the owners. A private dispatch received here says the crew were saved by boat from the land. Castletownsend, where the ship was wrecked, is on the south coast of Ireland, three miles from Skibbereen. COMMERCIAL UNION. What Colonial Leaders Think of Cham- berlain’s Suggestions. LONDON, Exa., April 11.—The Statist has sent letters to tbe various Colonial 566655566 PP speech of Mr. Chamberlain, Colonial Sec- retary, advocating a commercial union of the colonies. In reply to this letter J. Hefmeieriloaderartho AnThan s party, has cabled from Cape Town expressing his opinion that the proposal embod an ex- cellent idea, but he fears that fiscal reasons will render it impossible at present in South Africa and many other colonies. C. C. Kingston, Crown Advocate of South Australia, cabled merely that the subject ought to be courteously and care- fully considered, and Prime Minister Tur- ner of Victoria declined to express an opinion. The Australian press is generally hos- tile to the proposal . Spread of Glanders at Liverpool. LONDON, Ex6., April 11.—A committes of the Health Board of Liverpool which has been making inquiries into the subject alleges that the spread of glanders among horses in that city is due to the importa- tion of Canadian horses. The committee is about to urge the Governmént to take restrictive action upon the importation of such animals. The allegation of the Liv- erpool committee is emphatically denied by Canadian offl cials. aiige e The blind are generally possessed of a singularly acute sense of heari DR.
