2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JUNE 9, 1896. - # MORGAN ASSAILS FAIR CUBA'S FOES, General Weyler Denounced as a Most Brutal Soldier. NOT ADVERSE TO WAR. It Would Be Well for Uncle Sam to Check the Cdurse of Island Cruelties. AS TO THE QUEEN REGENT The Alabama Senator Says She Should Witness the Barbarities and Stop Them. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 8.—The Senate passed the general deficiency biil in less than three-quarters of an hour. Ordinarily a bill of 130 printed pages would have taxed the powers of the read- ing clerk for at least two hours, but the reading of this bill was completed in half an hour. An attempt was made by Harris of Tennessee to have the claims under the Bowman act, aggregating about half a million dollars, placed in the bill, but they were ruled out on points of order and the bill was promptly passed. A final con- ference report was made on the postoffice appropriation bill and was agreed to. Partial conference reports on the Indian bill and the District of Columbia appro- priation bill were agreed to and further conference ordered. The immigration bill was taken up, and Morgan of Alabama made another long speech upon the question of the warin Cuba, in the course of which he disclaimed heretofore baving said anything offensive to the Queen Regent of Spamn. He eulo- gized her as a woman of very high char- acter and of almost unexampled virtue, and entitled by virtue of the regency of womanhood to the utmost respect, and every Senator so treated her and so spoke of her. He spoke of General Weyler, however, as a bratal soldier who plunged his blood-stained sword in the bosoms of women and children. Morgan went into the Cuban question at great length, giving statements of occur- rences in the present and in the preceding ten years’ war, and asserting that the Cubans had been selected by the Spanish Government for ruinous, oppressive and unbearable taxation. He confessed that he was not adverse to a8 war with Spain if she continued in her course of abominable despotism. It was a misfortune that the people of the United States 'should be drawn into it by reason of their ancestry and traditions. He did not deny his sympathies with Cuba, but as an Ameri- can citizen and an American Senator he bad confined his action in the matter en- tirely to the constitutional duties of the Goveshment of the United States to its own people. Alluding to a newspaper statement that he had on the floor of the Senate made hard and unpleasant remarks as to the Queen Regent of Spain, Morgan said that he had on that occasion referred to the Queen Regent merely in connection with her speeches from the throne, where she claimed that the Unitea States was in con- troversy with Congress and in controversy with the people as to their sentiments about Cuba. If the Queen of Great Brit- ian, the Queen Regent of Spain, the Queen of Greece and the Empress of Germany were to meet in the island of Cuba and were to witness some of the things done there in the name of Spain, upon innocent women and children, who were shot to death by a brutal soldiery, those great and noble women would rise in their majesty and would strike to death the power which enabled a brute like Weyler inflict such wrongs. “Would to God,” Morgan exclaimed, ‘that the Queen of Spain were there to see these things. The delicacy of her nature would not permit the infliction of such brutalities upon women and chlldren. But are we to stand by, according to the President’s theory, idle and mute, and witness the continued repetition of these bratal acts on that island? I wish those noble women were there to see them. They would lay their hands on the arm of the brutal soldier who now wields the brutal sword of Spain there, and would tell him in the name of God and humanity and Christianity to forbear his inbuman deeds.” On motion of Perkins (R.) of California the Senate bill appropriating $350,000 for a public building at Oakland, Cal., was taken from the calendar and passed, and the Senate adjourned RUIN WROUGHT BY FLOODS. One of the Prettiest and Richest Valleys in Nebraska a Scene of Destruc- tion and Desolation. 8T. PAUL, Mivx., June 8.—The full ex- tentof tne damage done by Friday night’s storm s just beginning to be realized. Every bridge on the North Loup from Scotia to Fullerton, with the single excep- tion of the Burlington and Missouri River Railway bridge, is washed out. Scores of low-lving farms are flooded, thousands of dollars’ worth ‘of livestock, farming implements, etc., have been swept away and one of the prettiest and richest valleys in Nebraska is now a scene of de- struction and desolation. Several irrga- tion plants which were put in last year and the year before were completely wiped out. The course of the river ischanged in several places, and much good land was carried away by the terrible volume of water. Very little grain, except that in the actual path of the flood, was damaged. OMAHA, NeBr.,, June 8.—The storm which visited the Loup Valley Saturday was the worst that has ever swept that section. The railroads have suffered the most, and traffic will not be resumed for several days, owing to the washout of bridges and culverts. Much of the country is inundated. Officials of the Union Pacific say it will be impossible to move trains before Fri- day. The greatest damage done to the Burlington was between Greeley Center and Burwell and between Farwell and Loup City. General Superintencent Dig- nell and other officers are now on the groand with a large force of men and pile- drivers and are rushing the work of re- nairs through as rapidly as possible, The entire line will be in working order by Thursday night. « A brief telegram received by General Manager Holdredge says that Wotbach was completely inundated, the water standing to a depth of ten feet over the entire town. The depot was also com- pletely destroyed and six boxcars stand- ing on the side track were washed several miles away. Itislearned that twenty-two bridges on the Elkhorn road between Chadron and Deadwood were washed out. e A T GALLANT SOLDIER AND AUTHOR. Death of Captain John G. Bourke, the Noted Indian Fighter, Scientist and Writer. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 8.—Cap- tain John G. Bourke, Third Cavalry, U. 8. A., died here this moraing. Captain Bourke was stationed at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt. His wife was with him when he died, but the daughters were at their home in Burlington, Vt. The remains will be in- terred in the National cemetery at Arling- ton. Captain Bourke was as well known for his writings as his fighting of Indians, his talent being in the direction of their anthropology and folk-lore. He was a stanch iriend of the red men of America in time of peace. He was a member of scien tific societies in France, England and the United States, One of his most valu- able v"urk.«, on the medicine men of the Apaches, was published by the Smithson- ian Institution. His most popuiarbooks are the “Snake Dance of the Moauis,” which he was the first white man todescribe in a book from being an eye-witness; an **Apache Campaign,” and *On the Border ‘With Crook,” all of which have bad Eng- lish editions. At the last meeting of the American Folk-Lore Seciety Captain Bourke was elected president. He enlisted | as a private in the Fifteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry during the war and fought in the Army of the Cumberland. He was awarded a medal of honor for gallantry at Stone River, and when the war closed the Presi- | dent apponted him a cadet-at-large to | West Point. JOLLY GERMANS RALLY, The Opening of the National Saengerfest at the City of Pittsburg. President Cleveland Signifizs His Good Will With a Great Fiood of Light. PITTSBURG, Pa. June 8.—The Iron City has capitulatea to the Germans. All day the members of the Saengerbund came in from every direction, and to-night when the reception ooncert inaugurating the Na- tional Saengerfest was opened 800 jolly people were in the Saengerfest Hall. All the members were gay with badges, and several of the societies added to the jollity by carrying immense white umbrellas. This evening every society expected had delegations in the city. A heavy rain- storm in the evening played havoc with the gorgeous street decorations, but it did not deter about 8000 people from attending the concert given by the local society. At 8:15 o'clock President Dimling ap- peared upon the darkened stage and read a brief telegram of friendly greeting from President Cleveland. As Mr. Dimling ceased speaking the electric wire connect- ing the Saengerfest Hall with the Execu- tive Mansion in Washington was closed by President Cleveland pushing a button and in an instant the spacious hall was { flooded with light. Long and loud ap- plause greeted both the messaga from the President and the beautiful effect of the il- lumination, the most attractive feature of which was the mammoth lyre, constructed of hundreds of vari-colored electric globes. ‘When quiet had been restored the or- chestra of seventy-seven pieces, under the direction of Heinrich Zoelliner, rendered “The Kaiser March,”” which was fully ap- preciated by the vast audience. Fest President Dimling delivered an ad- dress in acception of the Saengerfest flag and introduced Lieutenant-General Wal- ter Lyon, who heartily welcomed the singers. The Mayors of Alleghany and Pittsburg followed in brief addresses of welcome to the twin cities. After the rendition of ‘Freedom” and ‘“Father- lana” Rev. F. Ruoff delivered the festival oration and Governor McCorkle of West Virginia made a few congratulatory re- marks. Then followed ‘The Deluge,’ “0ld Folks at Home” and the famous aria, “1 Have Lost My Eurydice,” sang by Grace Damian. At 11 o’clock to-night a “Student Com- mers” was given in the old City Hall in honor of the representatives of the press. ek e AN OUTLAW EXECUTED. Had Killed Several Mcn Refore He Paid the Penaity. BUTTE, Moxt.,, June 8.—Bill Gay, a noted outlaw, was hanged at Helena at 11 | o'clock to-day for the murder of James Mack, a deputy sheriff, in May, 1893, while being trailed by a sheriff’s posse. Deputy Sheriff Rader was killed at the same time by Gay’s brother-in-law, a man named Goss, who escaped. Gay was captured about a year ago in BSouthern California. Neverin the history of Mon- tana have more efforts been made to_save a criminal’s neck than in this case. When the Supreme Court refus -d to grant him a new trial the case was taken to the United States Supreme Court, and the Justices were appealed to one at a time. When hope was abandoned in that direction at- tention was turned to Governor Kicards, snd he was flooded with petitions for a commutation of sentence, but he refused to interfere and Gay was hanged. He broke down at the last moment and had to be carried to the scoffold. Gay had been an outlaw and had killed several men. St Mother and Babe Drowned. CHICAGO, ILr., June 8.—Crazed by do- mestic troubles, Mrs. Barbara Koch, a comely young German woman, waded into the river near the California-avenue bridge to-night with her two-month-oid baby in ber arms and plunged into the deep water of the channel. Mother and child were both drowned. Her son Charles, agea nine, escaped death by tearing himself away from the grasp of his frenzied mothe~, Mrs. Koch quarreled with her husband early this morning over the boy Charles. PRI S AS Strike of Linotype Operators. ST. PAUL, M1xN, June 8.—At 6 o’clock to-night every linotype operator of the Globe, Pioneer Press, Dispatch, Tribune, Journal and Times went on a strike. ‘With them went the advertising composi- tors, the proof-readers and their helpers— 140 men in_all. The newspapers have manned their typesetiing machines with typewriters and reporters and have ar- ranged a temporary newspaper. The pro- prietors ask that the price scale—121¢ cents for nonpariel and 14 cents for minion—be abolished and that all men work for $23 a week. The printers asked for $24 and a week of 48 hours. GROCERS’ PICNIC to-morrow, Schuetzen Park, San Belasl v ONE SESSION 10 THE CONCLUSION, The House Will Not Ad- journ Until Finally -on Saturday. WINDING UP BUSINESS. Passage of Several Measures of Much Importance to the Nation. ABSENT MEMBERS ARE SOUGHT All Leaves of Absence Revoked and Orders Given for a Full Attendance. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 8.—The Houge sat eight hours to-day in continua- tion'of Saturday’s session, by this parlia- | mentary fiction continuing in effect the | resolution of last week, making in order motions to pass bilis under Saturday’s sus- pension of the rules. Operating under this resolution the following measures were passed: House bili directing the construction of a Federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., to cost not exceeding $150,000. House bill making farther appropria- tiona to pay deficiencies of the current fis- cal year. Senate resolution directing the Secretary of the Treasury to order a scientific inves- tigatian of the Alaskan fur-seal fisheries. Senate bill re-enacting and amending the law of 1889 for the protection of the salmon fisheries of Alaska. House bill amending the law relating to the employment of sailors, abolishing im- prisonment for infraction of contract and the system of allotments of seamen’s wages and providing the quality and value of rations provided for them. House resolution clothing the pur- chasers of the Northern Pacific Railroad at foreclosure sale next month with the rights and privileges of the original cor- poration and imposing the same obliga- tions. House bill establishing & new division of the eastern judicial district of Texas, and providing semi-annual terms of court at Beanmont. Sepate amendments were agreed to to | Teven ues. final report of the conferees on the post- office bill and it was agreed to. In connection with the presentation of the report Loud took occasion to present some figures going to show that the operation of the “sample copy pound- rate” law passed in 1883 was responsible for the increasing deficiencies in postal These had increased, he said, from $3,160,000 in 1883-84 to $10,196,000 in 1894-95. He exhibited samples of what he characterized as the “stuff’” which under that law was transmitted through the mails and the exhibit seemed to greatly interest the members. Jobnson (R.) of California, rising to a question of personal privilege, denounced a8 ‘‘malicious, false and slanderous’” a statement published in the San Fran- cisco Examiner regarding his action upon what is known as the mineral land bill, the passage of which was desired by the miners of California. CHICAGO'S WILD WHEAT MARKET. Up Jumps the Price and the Bulls Quickly Unload Millions of Bushels. CHICAGO, 11y., June 8.—There wasone of the wildest wheat markets of the year on the Board of Trade to-day. July wheat opened with a rush at from 62} to 62} cents, and in a brief time was crowded down to 6134 cents, Bull efforts were soon redoubled, however, and an exciting boom sent the cereal to 63} cents, or a rise of 2 cents above the lowest price previously recorded. There was a total advance of 7 t week. Immediately upon the news being pos the visible supply for the week, compared with the same week last year, the boom collapsed and prices fell like a rocket- stick to 6074 cents, a break of 23 centsin fifteen minutes’ trading. John Cudahy became a towering re in the turmoil of the pit. He was credited with taking 1,000,000 bushels, and when the top notch of the excitement was reached he sold so heavily and in such an open manner that nothing could stop the break. Millions of bushels were unloaded by the bull clique during the panic. KRUGER WILL TRIUMPH, Great Britain Must Make Con- cessions to Appease the Boers. Commandant Cronje, th: Only Man the English Feared in the Field. JOHANNESBURG, SourH Arrica, June 8.—President Kruger and his Government have not decided that $7,500,000 is in- demnity enough for the Jameson raid. It will be more than a monetary considera- tion that is to be asked—more than likely the British Government will give the re- public an ocean harbor, which Cecil J. Rhodes’ trickery prevented them from get- \“.;JI 1, 7/ i fay Iy Ty Commander Cronje, the Boer Officer Who Defeated the British Forces at Polchesy stroom aund Famous Amajuba Hill, and Who Recently Compelled Dr. Jameson and His Troops to Surrender at Doornkop Last January.

Conference reports were presented and agreed to on the following bills: Post- office, Indian and District of Columbia appropriations. In order to maintain the presence of a quorum the House adopted resolutions offered by Dingley (R.) of Maine revoking all leaves of absence excepting those granted on account of illness, and direct- ing the sergeant-at-arms to telegraph other absent members that their presence here is necessary to the transaction of public business. In this connection the House heard with applause the message announcing that the Senate had passed without amendment the general deficiency bill, which the House passed Saturday afternoon. Twice Daniel (R.) of New York endeav- ored to bring up for consideration the re- port of Klection Committee No.1 on the contested case of Aldrich vs. Underwood, from the Ninth District of Alabama. The first time the House refused to enter upon its consideration; the vote on the secoud motion had been announced, when at 6 o’clock a further recess will be taken until to-morrow. It will be in order then. There will be, it is understood, no adjourn- ment of the House until it finally ad journs {for the session. Loud (R.) of California submitted the ting about eighteen months ago. Un- doubtedly this would somewhat appease the Boer anger toward the British and will at the same time place Paul Kruger on alevel with the foremost diplomats of Europe. Up to the present time not one man in Europe has been able to outwit Oom Paul. Next to President Kruger the most pop- ular man in South Africa is Commandant Cronje, who has recently gained fame among newspaper_ readers the world over from a statement made by John Hays Hammond. In his testimony at the trial of the “reformers’” Mr. Hammond said that Mr. Cronje is the only man the Eng- lish feared in the field. The cry that fortications would be erected on the hills overlooking Johannes- burg is without foundation. At one time the Government had the matter under consideration, but it being represented to them that there was more danger than safety in the forts were they to be cap- tured by an army from the city the idea was abandoned. At Pretoria two forts will be constructed and admittance to them will be harder to obtain than paying mine shares, The well-known Barney Burnato was a witness against the Reformers, but his evi- dence did not amount to anything. He was aware, however, that a reform move- ment was in the air, and to save himself from loss floated his mines—good, bad and indifferent—on the British and European investors, who Lave the shares and Barney ed of the small decrease in | has their money and titles to most of the good mines back again in his safe, besides holdirg large blocks of stock in theothers. The head of the assizing department states in his report to the Government that there is no place in the world where the aduiteration of liquor is practiced to such an extent as in Johannesburg. Produce and forage bave reached ruin- ous prices in Jobhannesburg. The locusts have destroyed everything green, and tiis country will have to depend on Australia for hay and other produce. Foralong time people here have bsen ata loss to understand why the London Times was always able to get the doings of the Reformers during the troublous times hours before we did. Now the cat isout of the bag, in the fdct that Lionel Phillips’ brother was and ‘is the Times’ correspondent in this city. . A movement is on foot among the mer- chants of Cape Town to hold an inter- national exhibition. The Government of matter. The rinderpest is spreading with fear- ful rapidity. In many districts there is not a hoof alive. When the plague breaks out ameng cattle in a aistrict nothing re- mains but to slaughter every head before they are all stricken down and thus save something out of the loss by turning the carcasses into salable meat. Hundreds of farmers have been utterly ruined between drought, locusts and this rinderpest, so South Africa is not a farmer’s paradise, even kugu it may be considered the lan ot gold. he Orange Free State Parliament has refused to eonsider a motion for the re- peal of tie resolution pledging the Free State to assist the Transvaal in case of ueed. England will have heavy work on her hand in her next attempt at revo- lution. In the Transvaal. Orange Free State and Natal the Boers refuss to sell uorses, giv- ing as a reason that they may be required at any moment to strike for their inde- pendence. The reason the Matabeles kept outside the range at Buluwayo was from the fact that a train of dynamite had been laid around the town. The train was to be fired by electricity, and the Matabeles learned this from their spies. The natives can’t understand electricity or dynamite, and therefore are fearful of both. At least 16,000 Matabele are engaged in the present war against the Charter Com- pany’s forces. Over 160 Europeans are known to have been kiiled. The annual report of the registrar of deeds shows that three-fourths of the total farms in the Transvaal are owned by the original burghers and the Government, and the remaining fourth by uitlanders. There.are 11,045 surveyed and inspected, complete farms in the country; of these 5575 belong to the original burghers, 664 to foreigners or non-residents, and 525 to uitlanders resident in the republic, some of whom are naturalized burghers; 758 are owned by local companies; 1087 are held, and have been floated by foreign com- anies, whose head offices are in England, f'rance or Germany, and 3636 belong to Government. The farms belonging to original burghers are estimated to fmv cost over $17,000,000. The farms owned by uitlanders cost over $4,000,000; non-resi- dents paid over $1,800,000; local companies over $5,900,000, and foreign companies over $18,000,000. Farms purchased by Govern- ment for public purposes and native loca- tions cost over $600,000. The value of the farms amount.to over $48,000,000.

MARTIAL LAW PREVAILS Prisoners Arrested on Suspicion of Being Implicated Are in Danger. VENGEANCE I8 NOW DEMANDED Nearly Ail of the Eleven Who Met Death Were Women and Children. BARCELONA, Sparxy, June 8.—The ex- citement caused by the explosion of the bomb by which eleven people were killed yesterday shows no signs of diminution. The people vigorously demand that no effort be spared by the authorities to pun- ish.the authors of the outrage and to guard against a repetition of the dastardly act. ‘When it became generally known that the killed numbered eleven instead of six, as was stated in the first reports, the indig- nation of the populace was very violent. In fact so threatening was the outlook that the authorities, as a measure of precau- tion, proclaimed martial law, and the city is now under military government. Twolmore arrests of suspects were made to-day, making a total of thirty-two men who have been iaken into custody on sus- picion of having been concerned in the perpetration of the outrage. The prison- ers are confined in the prefecture. To-day an angry mob gathered around that building and demanded the summary punishment of every one of the prison- ers, whether his guilt be proved or not. Occasionallv it looked as though the mob would storm the prefecture in order to wreak vengeance on the suspects. The civil guards on duty at that place were speedily re-enforced and were frequently compelled to charge upon the crowd to make them keep their distance. The mob would scamper away temvorarily, but would soon gather again threatening to lynch the prisoners. Barcelona is not alone in its attempt to repress with a firm hand the recrudesence of anarchy. The Royal Government and the municipal authorities are taking measures to prevent the commission of outrages in the capital. ing anarchists of the city was arrested to- day. It isthought that he was in some way concerned with the outrage. The Cortes and the Government have promised to assist the relatives of those who were killed or wounded bere, and this”" action meets with hearty approval. Speculation is rife as to the causes which led to the sudden outbreak of the an- archists. Some persons attribute it to the animosity of the anarchists toward every- thing pertaining to religion, and believe they took advantage of the Corpas Christi processions to give vent to their hatred. But there bave been many religious pro- cessions since anarchy was rampant in Spain which were in no way interfered with, and it is generally believed that some motive deeper than hatred of re- ligion lies at the bottom of the last out- rages committed. All the people killed belonged to the workingclasses. A majority of them were women and children, and this fact has Good Ts essential to health. Blood This is true from the very nature of the hu- man body. The blood is the circulating fluid which carries nourishment to all the organs. The health of the body, the strength of the nerves, depend upon the quality of the blood with which the nerves and other organs are supplied. Good blood means strong nerves, good digestion, robust health. The surest way to have good blood is to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla. This medicine possesses exactly those qualities which enable the blood to carry health to every nerve, organ and tissue. It creates a good appetite, gives refreshing sleep and cures that tired feeling. Hood'’s Sarsaparilla Is the best—in fact the One True Biood Purifier Hood's Pills the best family cathartic and liver stimulant. 25c. One of the lead- | P much to do with the bitterness displayed toward the anarcaists. PARIS, Fraxce, June 8.—The French police recently warned the Spanish Gov- ernment that the_anarehists were prepar- ing te-commit an outrage, with the oon- nivance of Cuban filibusters who resided in Barcelona and who have absconded. CREATED ATION. Alexander von Hohenlohe Made Sharp Remarks in the Reichstag. BERLIN, GerwANY, June 8.—A great sensation was caused in the Reichstag to- day during the debate on the Govern- ment’s trades bill. Alexander von Ho- henlohe, son of the Chancellor, attacked the clause forbidding commercial travel- ers to transact retail business. He de- nounced the state for meddling with peo- ple’s private affairs, and said the tendency to empower the police to restrict personal liberty was the malady of the day in Ger- many. The members of the Left, especially the Socialists, greeted the speech with tu- multuous applause and cheers.
