o = THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, ATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1896. Indians found bearing arms'in this section are arrested and held, awaiting their dis- position by the hizher authorities. The people here are well pleased with the prompt and energetic action of Colonel Bacon, who commands ghe First Cavalry and is the commanding officer at Fort Huachuca. He is leaving nothing undone to prevent the Indians from organizing in the United States and then crossing to Mexico. The way soldiers are placed now it is impos- sible for the Indians to make a move from the mountains without being apprehended. They will do no harm in the United States as far as fighting is concerned, but there is a large number in this section, as they have been coming in to the different settle- ments in this country for three weeks or more. Wiiliam Ekey came in from his ranch on the Santa Cruz, near Huevavi, this afternoon. He says the Indians have been gathering there for threedays. He thought they were going to make a raid on his horses and cattle, snd he put all his stock into a corral. The Indians left suddenly, and he believes they have gone into the Pajarito Mountains, where there are good rendezvous. Nothiog has been heard from the Mexi- can soldiers who went down the line to-day. People on the Mexican side in this town are still alarmed, and many of the Mexican families sleeo on the United States side to-night. While everything seems quiet here now, and nothing startling occurring, the Mexicans are very restless and uneasy. very powerful and they feara general up- rising. Should this ofcur there will be ex- citing times in this locality. There have been many skirmishes between the Yaqui Indians and Mexican soldiers in the past | several months that have not been made P The Yaquis who live in the Yaqui River country claim to have grievances, and have not been in a good bumor since Santa Teresa was banished from Mexico. They believe she was wrongly treated, and they expect some time to see her return and reign as their queen. Her strongest followers came to the United States at the time she left | Mexico, and they are keeping the tires of discontent alive. SOUTHERN"INDIA FLOODS, Thousands of People Rendered Homeless by the Overflow | of the Kistna, Two Hundred Refugees Go Down in a Boat That Is Sunk Near Hyderabad. LONDON, Exc.. Aug. 14—A dispatch from Bombay to the News Agency states that disastrous floods have been caused in Southern India by the overflowing of the River Kistna. The damage to property is The Yaqui tribe is | | Hosts of Democrats and Republicans, long dis- | and mode of relief. How great is our disap- immense and thousands of people have been rendered homeless, being swept away by the floods. It is | feared that many lives have been lost in | the overflowed district. The water has | washed out the railway of the Nizam for a | distance of seven miles and it wjll have to | be almost completely rebuilt. The worst disaster yet reported in con- nection with the flood was the sinking of & boat crowded with refugees near Tatta, atown fifty miles southwest of Hydera- bad. Two hundred persons went down with the boat and were drowned. The residents along the course of the Kistna expect an overflow twice a year. They depend on it for the irrigation of their fields. But the vpresent flood was | much greater than they wanted or were prepared for. India needs irrigation, so that the densest population and the most highly developed ' part of the country lies along the river banks and makes the loss so much the greater when a flood takes place. | AT R ENG 5 COLLAPSE. their houses | All the 1and in that part of | NAVAL Tws Officers of the Indiana Succumb to Overwork. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 14.—News received yesterday at the Navy Depart- ment tells of the physical collapse of Chief Engineer George E. Tower and stant Engineer Andrew McAl- both of the battleship Indiana. It gave in the minds of naval officers on duty here to the question whether in the care of our warships the danger line had not been crossed in the attempt of the overworked naval engineers to carry on the exacting duties required of them. The North Atlantic squadron has now bad only eight days of grand maneuvers and during thatshort period the efficiency of the most powerful battleship of the fleet has been temvorarily impaired, two of the four naval engineers attached to the vessel having been condemned by medical survey and ordered to the Naval Hospital for treatment. ““It is not snrprising,” said a prominent official, ““that this repeated tale of the prostration of naval engineersis heard from our warsbips. In the British service there are one-half as many engineers as deck officers, while in our navy thero are only one-fourth as many engineers as there are officers of the line. The physical history of the corps of naval engineers during the past years is a sad one, and it emphasizes the fact that not only must the number of engineers be increased, but their condi- tions improved in order to render the sbips efficient for the day of battle. The engineers are now working under an or- ganization which was founded upon the necessities of wooden ships, but which is not adapted to vessels of steel.” COUNT PALLAVICINI'S DEATH. . Cared Not to Live Without the Love of Ethel Barrison, the American Actress. BUDA-PESTH, HuNcARY, Aug. 14.—In social and other circles little else is talked of to-day than the romantic suicide and funeral of Count Arthur Pallavicini, lieu- tenant of hussars, who was buried yester- day. The lieutenant, a handsome young fellow, 21 years of age, became greatly attached to Miss Ethel Barrison, one of the five Barrison sisters, well-known variety artists, whose scandalous conduct at Berlin has brought upon them the order of expulsion from Germany. Count Pallavicini sougnt in every way possible to induce Miss Eihel fo retura his love, but she only laughed at him. On Tuesday Count Pallavicini was found dead, having committed suicide by shoot- ing himself with a revolver. In his left hand was a photograph of Miss Ethel and & slip of paper, upon which the unfor- tunate man had written: 1 bez Miss Ethel Barrison to come to my coffin and press a kiss upon it,” Contrary to expectations she appeared at the funeral yesterday dressed in the deepest mourning. bl S Fierce Storms in Chikuahua.

HIS SPEECH CRITICIZED Threadworn Argumea’s of Sen- ators Jones and Stewart Revamped. JEFFERSON’S ANCIENT IDEAS. What the Pecpie Need Is the Oppor- tunity to Earn More Money of any Kind. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 13.—Ex-Gov- ernor Alonzo B. Cornell of New York has written an open letter to William J. Bryan, the Presidential canaidate on the Demo- cratic ticket, in the course of which he says: When you went to Chicago last month and by your individual eloquence captured the National Convention of the great Democratic party and compelled 1t to award to you its Presidential nomination, you were hailed by many as a possible Messiah, who could lead the people out of their political difficulties. satisfied with the internal conduct of their respective party organizations, prayed that it | might be so and they have awaited in patience and hope for a full presentation of your views pointment to find that your message of de- livery is simply an ingeniously abbreviated presentation of the various arguments we have read in Congressional debates during the past twenty-five years. The only advantage you possess over the threadworn arguments of Nevada” Jones and “Windy” Stewart, with which tons of Senatorial reports have been weighted, is that you make your dissertation somewhat briefer than theirs. You were born aiter Lincoln made his Cooper Institute speech. You were & babe in arms when secession fired its cannon upon Sugnter. What good is it for you to tell us about what Jefferson and Jackson thought about finance? They knew nothing about the financial con- ditions and necessities of the American people of this generation. The general merits or otherwise of bimetallism or monometallism in abstract sre not the vital questions that afflict | us to-day. What might have been properly | considered in detail in the coinage act of 1873 or the resumption bill of 1875, is one thing; | butwhat is wise to consider now in view of | the present surroundings and conditions is wholly @ifferent. The presentsufferingsof our | people are caused by events thathaye occurred | within the past twenty years, and need to be | treated trom the present standpoint and | wholly with reference to the future. We need a safe and smooth road from our existing wilderness of difficulties to a future of pros- perity and consequent contentment. | Our ordinary currency is abundantly good - for present purposes, and the only thing needed immedistely is a condition of confi- dence in financial affairs that will set the mill wheels in motion and _increase the employ- ment of labor. Give us only thatand every | other good thing will follow. Industry is the basis of our National pros- perity, and nothing is more certain than tnat general prosperity of the people.prompis | the generous employment of labor. These | questions are governed by natural laws just as certain in their operation as those which low storm. Your fsilure s & physician and hesler of the public sore is your mistaken diagnosis of | the disease. You have gone back of the pres- ent difficulty and attempted to tell us how to make & better kind of a dollar. What the peo- ple need is to be permitted to earn more dol lars which are good enough for the present ne- cessities. While you are constructing a new financial | condition the people will continue to suffer from lack of employment and their present sufferings will be vastly enhanced. They want immediate relief and that can best be accomplished by the most favorable oppor- tunities to earn wages payable in our present | form of money. My excuse for addressing you in this man- ner is the sincere belief that the approvalof your views by the people at the approaching election would bring upon us the most serious calamity which it is now possible to appre- hend. No foreign war would begin to do our country S0 much harm as the acceptance of your views by the electorsof the United States. RN LT SILVER AND RUBBER, Factories of the Goodyear Trust dre Shutting Down. WATERBURY, Coxx.,, Aug. 14.—Wil- liam T. Rodenbach, treasurer of the Good- year Metallic Rubber Shoe Company of Nogautauck, said last evening that the free silver agitation is baving a werious eftect upon the rubber industry. Two big rubber concerns in Nogautauck, as well as most other factories in the rubber trust, are closed down for an indefinite period.

WILKESBARRE, Pai., Aug. 14.—The bodies of the sixty victims of the Twin Shaft disaster will never again be seen, as it has been announced that work will be stopped at the iil-fated mine. Superin- tendent Law said that some weeks ago he invited the managers of the different mines in this neighborhood to visit the mine.

Will Row Any Man in America From One Mile to Five. BELLEVILLE, OxT., Aug. 14.—Yester- day’s protest on the sinele-scull race be- tween Hanlan and Rogers was withdrawn to-day and the race given to Rogers. Hanlan now offers to row any man in America from one mile to five for $1000 upward. The water this afternoon was rough and in the vprofessional, single-scull dash, three-quarters of a mile, all declined to contest except Hanlan and Durnan. The ex-champion won by several lengths. The startere in the amateur senior double sculls, three-quarters of a mile with a turn, were Russell and Ryan of the Torontos and Greenwood and Marsh of the Dons. The former crew pulled a very fast stroke and soon got the lead, but the boat filled with water and they were forced to retire. Greenwood und Marsh finished at their leisure. The final race was a pro- fessional four-oared mile and a half, with a turn, between the English and Canadian- American crews, and was rowed in rough water, the wind facing the oarsmen on their return. The English crew led from the start, turned a short distance ahead and after a desperate struggle finished thirty-two seconds ahead. Time, 18:50. R S FPUTURITY CANDIDATES.

EAGER TO DO HIM HONOR Cabinet Officials Ccnfer With a View to Arranging the Programme, MILITARY AND NAVAL DISPLAY Li’s Limited Time Will Not Allow Hm to Extend His Trip to San Francisco. WABHINGTON, D. C.. Aug. 14.—Gov- ernors Island, the military reservation in the harbor of New York, has been select- ea as the place of meeting for President Cleveland and Li Hung Chang. The de- cision of Mr. Cleveland with regard to this feature of the programme now heing ar- ranged for the Chinese diplomat’s recep- tion has just been reached. Nouification of this fact has been received at the Chi- nese legation, and it has been officially communicated to Li Hung Chang. The President and he will clasp hands on this historic island on the day tbe steamer St. Louis, bearing him, arrives at the port of New York. ¢ The President has been in communica- tion with Secretaries Olney and Lamont on this matter. The officials have held that Li does not come to the United States as a private personage, but as an envoy of the Emperor of China; and in proof of this . contention they point to a letter which he is bringing trom Peking bearing the royal signature, Coming as an official representative of the Emperor to this country, the officials are anxious to do him honor, hence the de- sire of the President to receive him as be- coming one of the rank and mission of the distinguished celestial. There was some talk of the Dolphin con- veying Li from New York to Gray Gables, the President’s summer home. No such thought was entertained by the digni- taries of European countries who went out of their way to meet the former Viceroy. The President determined to do likewise. Emperor William of Germany arranged his plans so that he was at Kiel upon Li's arrival at that place from Russia. Wash- ington is too warm during the dog days for holding an audience such as it is pro- posed shall be given Li. New York was therefore the most central and most con- venient point, and theauthorities thought it wounld be looked upon as a courteous act for the President to meet Li immediately upon his arrival. So far as the programme has been ar- ranged, it is understood that the dispatch- ‘boat Dolphin will be used to convey the | President from Gray Gables to Governors Istand. The Dolphin has been ordered to Newnport, where she will probably receive instructions from the President and will then proceed to Boston, where she will participate in the trial of the cruiser Brooklyn. This is to occur several days before Li’s arrival, so that upon her relief from this duty she ecan return to New York, stop- ping en route to pick up the President and Secretary Olney. The Dolphin will also probably be used to transport Li, with some of the members of his suite, from the St. Louis upon her arrival at quarantine, to the island, where the President will be in waiting. Besides the President and Secretary Olney, the receiving party will, it is ex- pected, consist of Assistant Secretary of State Rockhill, who was acquainted with Li during his residence in China in a diplomatic capacity ; Secretary Lamont; an admiral; one officer of the lower rank of the navy, and a general of the army. General Ruger, cammanding the depart- ment of the East, 1s stationed at Gov- ernors Island. It may be, however, that the authorities will desire another general officer to form a memoer of the reception party, and this officer may be Major- General Miles, commanding the army. There 1s some talk of sending additional troops to Governors Island to parade upon Li’s arrival. If this be true the probabili- ties are that troops in and about New York City will be ordered to the resérva- tion. Three companies of the Thirteenth Infantry are now stationed on the island, but these would not make the imposing display the authorities desire. It is expected that the army will also participate in Li's reception by firing salutes from thé forts as the Dolphin passes on her way to Governors Island. The North Atlantic squadron will, in pursuance to the programme prepared some weeks ago, be stationed at Tompkins- ville About the time of Li’s arrival.

The report from San Francisco that Li wasdeterred from going to that city on account of threats made against him by Chinamen there, is ridiculed in official circles here. It is stated that Li was com- pelled to alter his pians on account of in- structions received from China six weeks ago. He was on the European continent at the time, and cut his tour short there, hurrying to Enzland, where he is now making a short visit and advising the auathorities here that he wasrequired to be at his home earlier than he had antici- pated. He had selected September 18 as the date for his arrival in the United States, but adviges received from Chira compelled him to change the date to August, and to make his tour in this country a brief one. Had he the time, it is stated, he would visit all the principal cities in the United States. CHRISTIANS FIGHT FIERCELY.

NEARING SETTLEMENT, Balfour’s Reply to an Inquiry Concerning the Venezelan 5 Controversy. State Department Oificials at Wash- ington Are Pleased With the Outlook. LONDON, Exa., Aug. 14.—1In the House of Commons to-day Sir William Harcourt, the leader of the opposition, asked, in re- gard to the Venezuelan situation, if the vroposal contained in the dispatch sent to the Foreign Office by the United States Government on June 2 last had removed the difficulties, and further icauired whether there were any prospects of a speedy submission of the question to arbi- tration. Right Hon. R. J. Balfour, First Lord of the Treasury, said that the Government was still considering the proposal made by the United States Government, which was rezarded as opening the way for an equitable settlement of the difficulty. The Government had every expectation that the pending negotiations would lead to an early settlement. Sir William Harcourt said that the House would regard Mr. Batfour’s state- ment as satisfactory and asked to bave the papers on the subject prepared to be pre- sented to the House. Mr. Balfour replied that the Govern- ment would present the papers to the House as soon as might be consistent with public interest. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 14.—The dispateh of Secretary Olney to Sir Julian Pauncefote, British Embassador, referred to in the House of Commons debate to- day, was considered by many the most important document in the arbitration correspondence between the two coun- tries. Thedispatch was devoted toa dis- cussion of proposals submittea by Lord Salisbury for the settlement of the bound- ary dispute, and concluded with counter- Pmposnlu which Mr. Balfour said to-day “were regarded by the Foreign Office as opening the way for an equitable settle- ment of the difficulty.” State Department officials are highly gratified with the tone of Mr. Balfour’s replg 4o Bir Willilam Harcourt’s query as to the effect of the dispatch. During the absence of Mr. Olney, who is exclusively in charge of the negotiations, nothing definite can be learned on the subject. e i California Fruit Abroad.
