THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1896. BUTCHER WEVLER HAS IMITATORS Spanish Generals Who Put All Prisoners Promptly to Death. Women and Children Not £pared by the Relentless Foes of - Cuba. INSURGENTS SHOW HUMANITY Consul-General Lee Granted a Leave of Absence, but It Has No Significance. HAVANA, Cura, Oct. 19.—To show the contrast between treatment accorded to rebel prisoners by the Spaniards and that shown to Spanish captives by the insur- gent leaders the following recent incidents | are mentioned: | In the fight which General Melquizo had | with General Maceo’s forces a short time | ago Melquizo captured forty rebels, whom | he ordered shot on the spot, and in the recent engagement between Maceo's troops | and the Spaniards under General Bernal | the latter caused twenty-two prisoners to | be thot, including a young girl and two | United States, on h's return to his post would be the bearer of instructions that will secure a favorable solution of the Venezuelan frontier dispute, certain papers publish a news agency statement whicl: purports to be official to the effect that it is a patent fact that Sir Jx:lli{n hgs all along been charged with a mission di- rected to a settlement of the question. He has started for the United States with certain instructions, and the nego- tiations will be reopened upon his arrival, buc it is too soon to say Whether the British propcsals are likely to be accepted. The statement adds: “Happily a better feeling is being mani- fested between the people, and it A!re- quently happens that such manifestatians help to good conclusions, that would not otherwise be practical.” e L] Herr Levy Stabbed to Death. BERLIN, Germaxy, Oct. 19.—A story in circulation here yesterday and duly cabled that a fire had occurred in the resi- dence of Herr Meyer Levy, the Berlin Couanselor of Justice, Saturday night, re- sulting in the death of Herr Levy’s chil- dren from suffocation, proves to bs un- true, but the real facts are even more serious. Herr Mever Levy, Eresident of the Berlin bar, was attacked by four men in his bedroom at his residence in Moh- renstrasse and stabbed to death. His wife at the same time was seriously wounded by the assassins, who escaped. -~ Two Vessels Sunk. AMHERSTBURG, Oxt., Oct. 19.—The steamer Livingstone, bound down, col- lided with and sank tbe propeller Grand Traverse, bound up, three miles below Col- chester light, Lake Erie, early this morn- ing. The crew of the sunken vessel es- caped to the Livingstone. The stern of the latter was stove in and she was badly damaged. The cause of the collision is unknown, COLCHESTER, OxT., Oct. 19.—A large three-masted steam barge was sunk in the channel three miles east of Hacketts dock. —— Raiders to Be Released. LONDON, ExG., Oct. 19. —The St. older women. Bernal says that bLe saw | one of these women bidden in the brush | near by and he paid no attention to her at first, believing she was a refugee, but after the fight was over a stray shot picked off one of his soldiers, when they all turned | on her, she killing seventeen belore she | was captured and killed. This statement is positively true as the | facts were heard from the lips of General | Bernal in person when he was inter viewed on his arrival in Havana, and he confessed them without shame toall there- porters who silently listened to his ‘“‘ex- ploits.’”” h the forty men killed by Melquizo there were four women and a child, but | he does not know whether the child was | abandoned in the woods or killed. They | tried to force the women to tell them the | whereabouts of Maceo and his plans, but | the only words they got out of them were | that the Spaniards were cowardly dogs, and this so enraged Melquizo that he or- dered them shot, they all dying with the cry of “Vi a Libre.” This affair and that of Bernal shooting twenty-two captives clearly show how the ds continue their relentless butch- + and do not pardon a single man cap- | d in the field, while the Cubans pur- | contrary course. The new trial of the men captured on the filibustering schooner Competitor | began to-day before an ordinary naval | court-martial, Alfredo’ La Borde of New Orleans, the leader of the party, and Owen Milton of Kansas being examined. Their | evidence did not materially differ from | that given at the previous trial, which re- | sulted in the death sentence beingim- | posed on the five prisoners, who, in addi- | tion to La Borde and Milton, are William.| nle, an Englishman, Elias Bediah and | ore Maza, both Cubans. Consul-General L2e was not present, he not having been advised that the trial would begin to-day. and Barnett was not called. MADRID, €pars, Oct. 19.—A dispatch | from Havana says that in a recent en- | gagement the rebel chiets, Leit, Vidal, Jarapa and Escotta, were killed. Maceo’s adjutant was also killed. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 19.—Con- | sul-General Fitzhugh Lee, has been granted leave ‘of absence from his post in Havana and will return to his home in November. As the result of the return all sorts of Cuban rumors | have been prevalent, but it is as-| serted to-night by an official of the State | Department that such references are not justifiea, It issaid that General Lee re- | turns to the United States solely on ac- | count of his heuith, and that he will go | back to his post as soon as he recuperates | from the effect of his residence in the island. Itisdenied that thereis any po- litical significance in his being grantea | Jeave of absence at this time, | 3., Oct. 19.—The filibus- | tering steamer Three Friends, which has | been osten: looking for wrecks, es- | caped the revenne cutter Morrill, which | has been foliowing her since she left Wil- | mington, somewhere off Tybee, last night. The Morrill lost track of her, and, not see- ing her anywnere this morning, came into port here for coal. FLOODS THREATEN HALIFAX. Much Damage Already Done and a Great Calamity WIll Ensue If a Reservoir Breaks.’ HALIFAX, N. 8,, Oct. 19, —There was a tremendous rainfall in this region yester- day, last night and early this morning. The storm during the night was very fierce, the wind blowing violently in equalls and the rain coming down ina perfect torrent. None of this morning's outgoing trains left on time. Thedamage about the city streets is considerable, The famous public gardens are flooded and baaly injured, and it is said thata man named Thompson was drowned there while attempting to open a sluice In one of the ponds to allow the accumula- tion of water to run into the sewers. A part of the North Common has been trans- formed into a lake and a number of cellars in the western section have been inun- dated. In the suburbs some of the resi- dents had to raft from their houses to their barns this morning. Tue City Engineer says that .$20,000 would not place the city in the condition it was previous to the storm. If the water in Long Lake rises much higher there will be fears for the breakingof the water- works dam, and the village of Herring Cove would be wiped out The Herring Cove road bridges have already been washed away. Measures are now being taken to prevent the disaster. The storm inflicted considerable local damage about Truro, and & number of bridges were swept aWay. LENGLAND ANXIOUS TO SETTLE.

Lindsay, on be- half of the Odd Fellows of this district, gave a masterly exposition of the aims of the order whose fundamental pivot in everything was love. £ “As ye sow so shall ye reap,” he said, “and you, brothers, arereaping to-day the flowers and founts of your love. You have given food to the lips of the suifering children and solace to the widow; you have brought color to the wan cheeks of the afflicted, and we, Odd Fellows of the banner county of the Statein Odd Fellow- ship, give you our hands, our hearts and city. You have earned it. Do with our gift as you will.

Barnes of San Francisco, grand scribe of the Odd Fellows of California, paid testimony to the esteem in which Mr. Barnes was held among fraternal socie- ties.

We want no paupers and we want no paupers’ graves. We live in our society to foster seif-help, to widen our sphere of good, to broaden our love, to be charitable to all and 10 the lowliest equally with the high- est. We have spent $70,000,000 in_charity and $3,00).000 a year in reliel. We have lived to love, we will live to love and we are reaping a harvest of present happiness in Santa Cruz which is only a foretaste of the harvest of peace the Great Protector will give us when we cross to that bourne from which none return. From our hearts we visiting Odd Fellows thank you of Santa Cruz.” The balance of the evening was devoted toa literary and musical entertainment, of which the leading features were a grand chorus, *A Bong of Welcome,' by forty voices, a vocal solo by Mrs. Frank March of Cambria and a series of most humorous vocal and instrumental selections by Grand Scribe Barnes.

BAD WOOL SENT ABROAD, Growers Would Do Well by Selecting Bet- ter Quality for Shipment. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 19.—United States Consul Meeker at Bradford reports to the State Department over 1,000,000 pounds of American wool was sold in Eng- land early in the fall atan average of 9 cents per pound and these sales would have continued except for the ad- vance in freight rates and stiffer prices at home, so that there arestiil large amounts held for sale in England waiting higher prices. Complaint ismade of the quality of this wool which is of the merino short staple type, and buyers complain that the Boston shippers selected the very worst type they haa to send over. In onelot there was 78 per cent waste and British merchants strongly advise American wool buyers, if they hope to keep their place in- the Britidh market, to educate growers, through agricultural papers, s0 they may aring their wool to market 1n better condi- on. e Enfi-ld Laid in Ashes, ATHOL, Mass.,, Oct. 19.—Fire to-day destroyed the whole business portion of Enfield.

Hall block; thence leaping to the opposite cor- ner of the two main streets it burned a long block of stores and a dwelling be- yond. Meanwhile the wind carriea sparks across the river, igniting the lumber-yard of Gillette & Flint, containing about 100,000 feet, which was entireiy barned out, as was the lumber of the Boston and Albany Railroad Company,” across the track from Gilletie’s.

ALASKA SMUGGLERS FOILED, Liguor Found in Sugar-Barrels in the Omatilla’s Cargo. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn., Oct. 19.— In aischarging the damaged cargo from the steamship Umatilia to-day another Alaska smuggling scheme was exposed. In the cargo was a large consignment of barreled sugar destined to a leading Alaska firm. The action of the salt water melted the sugar, and in the center of each barrel was found a large case of spirits. An investigation reveals the fact that in recent months a large quantity of supposed uufn_r has been shipped to Alaska, and it is now reckoned that thou- sands of gallons of whisky and brandy have been smuggled into the Territory in this manner. Customs authorities are in- vestigating. Failure at Santa Maria. SANTA MARIA, CAL, Oct. 19.—Stephen A. Westler has filed a petition in in- solvency.

OLYMPIC PEAKS ABLAZE Volcanic Eruptions Witnessed by Residents of Port Townsend. Jets of Flame Spcut Upward While Molten Masses Fiow Down the S opes: PORT TOWNSEND, Wass., Oct. 19.— Several responsible residents here claim to have seen on Friday night last what was evidenily a repetition of the volcanic eruption in the Olympic Mountains which startled this vicinity a year ago and was never satisfactorily explained. The mountains stood out’ plain and distinct in a clear sky and the phenomenon is described as a jet of flame flying high into the heavens at intervals, while down the mountain side appeared two fiery streaks, having all the outward appearance, when inspected through powerful glasses, of being molten masses. First reports of the probable volcano were received with derision, but several prominent ranchers in outlying precincts have corroborated the statements made, alleging that the flames were seen the previous evening also. Last year an exploring party was sent to investigate the phenomenon, but 1t was unable to scale the heights, owingto the dense smoke and raging torrents resulting from the melting snow. The same difii- culty will be experienced this year if an investigation is undertaken, for the moun- tains where the volcano is supposed to be located are covered by a thick coating of perpetnal snow and ice. The ascent is particularly dangerous, and only most hardy woodsmen would be able to sncceed. DIES IN SAN BERNARDIND Schnaubelt, the Chicago Bomb- Tarower, Succumbs to Consumption, Succe:dei for Years in. Evading the Police Officials of the Ceuntry. SAN BERNARDINO, Caxn., Oct. 19.— Rudolph Schnaubelr, the anarchist wno threw the Haymarket bomb in Chicago and for whose apprehension the police machinery of the world has been in mo- tion ever since, died here to-day of con- sumption. Schnaubelt’s death, though caused pri- marily by consumption, was really due to the wound he received in the City of Mex- ico. After tha presence of Schnau- belt had been made known by a San Francisco newspaper in May, 1895, the ‘anarchist fled to Mexico, intending to continue and hide himself in some of the South American countries. In the City of Mexlco he got into a street brawl and was shot. That injury led to the disease that carried him off. - SRR Nentenced to Folsom Prison, SANTA ROSA, CaL, Oct. 19.—H. G Ammerman was to-day sentenced to three years in Folsom prison for robbery. Am- merman is the Oakland youth who pre- tended to be drunk in order to have the company and assistance of Richard John- son while going home one dark night. ‘When the two reached a lonely spot Am- merman beat Johnson into insensibility, and after robbing him of $40 pitched the insensible man over the fence into a grain field, where he was found the following day. The young robber fled to Petaluma, where he was captured while enjoying his ill-gotten gains. Temblor Shakes Santa Rosa. SANTA ROSBA, CaL., Oct. 19.—Early risers in this city report a sharp earth- quake shock at 6 o'clock this merning. The vibrations were quite distinct and lasted about five seconds.

HAD MOURNED HIM AS DEAD. 0:d Love Is Revived When the Former Suitor Appears at Her Home. SEATTLE, Wasm., Oct. 19.—Pathos and romance abound in a story of real life in- volving the elopement of Mrs. Charles Ross and eight children, the eldest twelve years of age, with Frank McIntyre, her former lover. ‘Though they fled in August, the story became known only when Ross, who sought a fortune last March on the Yukon, returned to Seattle on Saturday to find that his wife haa gone with the sweetheart of her girlhood days, having sold everything they possessed in the wayv of worldly goods. Additional interest attaches to this strange tale of woman's infidelity and man’s perfidy from the fact that the hero- ine, whose maiden name was Marian Powell, mourned McIntyre as dead before marrying Ross. In the highlands of Scotland they grew up together, and when twenty years of age young McIntyre went to sea. Marian, with her hand upon a Bible, pledged her love and constancy until his return, when they were to be married. Years passed and the waves wafted back a cruel tale of the sea, to the effect that the ship had been wrecked and her lover drowned. Believing him dead, she married Ross, with whom she lived happily for fifteen years, McIntyre returned to his native land and learned his sweetheart’s whereabouts from the latter’s sister. Having in his absence accumulated a fortune, he started out in quest of the woman who had, twenty years prior, promised to be his bride. He found her here. The old love reasserted itself and Mrs. Ross and her children fled with Mclntyre, presumably to Scotland. Ross has employed Lawyer Frank E. Sims to secure ~his children, if possible. He says he is also willing 10 forgive and forget the acts of his erring wife should she chose to come back. In theevent that Mrs, Ross is found and will not sur- render their children, the husband and father stated that he would bestow upon the children, $500, balf of what he made during the few months -he was absent on the Yukon. He looks upon the affair philosophically as regards the wife, his chief concern being for the welfare of the children, the eldest two of whom are re- vorted to have pathetically pleaded with tneir mother not to take the step she did. But their entreaties were of no avail. Though only in moderate circumstances, during the seven years’ residence of the Rosses in Seattle the husband provided well for his family, say the neighbors, and he was always kind ana_ loving to his wife. Twice during his absence he sent money to the ones at home, and until Mclntyre appeared upon the scene early in August Mrs. Ross corresponded regu- larly with her husband, her letters being couched in terms of love and endearment. Mrs. Ross is rather a prepossessing woman, probably 40 yearsof age, McIntyre being several years her senior. Dressed in habiliments befitting a bride, the children likewise gayly attired, all at the expense of the rich paramour, leaving no word save that she had gone never to return. Mrs. Ross and the man 10 whom she had in the tlush and bloom of young woman- hood plighted her troth, left, giving to the public neither intimation of their going nor the place of their destination. Fraser Kiver Canneries. VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 19. — The produce oi the salmon fishing season is beginning to move out from the seaboard.

BOGUS COIN FrOM CHINA. Counterfeit Canadian Half Dollars in Cirenlotion in Vancouver. VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 19.—Bogus Canadian half dollars made in China, as pure as the original and an almost perfect imitation, are in abundant circulation here. The banks have discovered the fraud and are warning the public. About $2000 worth of these coins were shipped irom China and there is no telling how many more are to come. The Chinese manipulators will no doubt send them east and south from here. They bear the date 1894. They are whiter than the orig- inal and larger and heavier. Sl DEATH T0 SON A MSQUIRKKELS. Killed by Partaking of a Poisonows Mimture. SANTA ROSA, Car, Oct. 19.—A test of a new squirrel poison was made on the Calvin Holmes place, in Knights Valley, on Saturday, resulting in the death of over 6000 offthe little pests. The squirrels seemed to like the poison better than anything they had yet tasted on the Holmes ranch, and a two-horse wagon-load of dead bun- nies was the result. The farmers of this county are delighted to hear of the whole- sale squirrel exterminator, and the in- ventor thereof will reap a harvest of dollars. Thousands —_— ZLillooet’s Jack the Ripper. LILLOOET, B. C., Oct. 19.—An Indian woman named Annie was murdered on the outskirts of town last Friday night. Her body was horribly mutilated, after the manner of Jack the Ripper. Charles Moore, employed in the vicinity, was ar- rested on suspicion Saturday night. The evidence against him was most direct, in- cluding blood marks on his clothing and other strong connecting links. A Coroner’s jury this afternoon pronounced him guilty and he was committed to stand trial at the next Assize: SILE OF PCACHD MINES Twenty Claims Embraced in Four Groups Change Hands. Low-Grade Properties on Which Development Work Has Hardly Begun. SAN DIEGO, CAwn., Oct. 19.—A deed was filed for record to-day by which D. K. Allen transfers to George W. Ireland for | §60,000 the Golden Dream group of five mines, the Alcyon group of five mines, the Oro Blanco group of five mines, the Noon Day group of five mines and four millsites, situated in White Gold Basin, in the old Picacho district, on the Colo- rado River, in this county. Colonel D. K. Allen has been in Picacho for several years and discovered some of the richest mines in that section, selling the principal properties to Stephen W. Dorsey and associatas, of Denver, who have set large forces of men at work de- veloping them and erecting mills. The veins are noted for their great size. They are of iow grade, but have the ad- vantage of being near the Colorado River, where the cost of working is reduced to a minimum through the convenience of wood and water. Over $500,000 is aiready invested there by Colorado capitalists and the real development work has hardly begun.
