THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 4 1897. SPANISH SOLDIERS MUTINOUS Forced to Take Worth- less Cuban Paper for Pay. CANOVAS SCORED BY THE | OPPOSITION. Sending of More Troops to the Island Vigorously Denounced. PACIFICATION THAT HAS NOT PACIFIED. The True Situation Presented to the People—MIinister Woodford C:bles a Denlal. MADRID, Sparw, July 3.—General Wood- | ford, the newly apvointed American M:nister, has cabled to the Government | here saying that he never authorized his name to appear in the list of members of| the Cuban Junta in New York, and maq any speeches he has made in favor of the insurzents were made over twenty-three y ago. The iroopship Isla de Panay has arrived | at Santander with a large number of sol- | diers from Cuba. They received their pay | on embarking at Havaua, chiefls in paper money, which is worth little in Cuba and g in Spain. They remonstrated ¢ receiving the paper, but finally accepted it, hoping to be able to change it eir arrival in Spain, but nobody accept Cuban notes, and conse- | ntly the troops are mutinous. The opposition pavers are vigorously king Canovas’ statement that 20,000 troops must be sent to Cuba. The Heraldo says; *Pacification of the island is a farce that has beea going on for more than a year. Spaniards were told in h, 1806, that the provinces of Pinar Rio and Havena were pacified. Since | they have heard of peace, but there is no peace, or there is a qu peace | which is worse than the bitterest war. | bave heard that the western part of | the island was vacifi d, and that only one or iwo brigands remained; that life out- side of the cities was again as safe as usual, and that the population was return- | ing to its usual work. Il this has been cabled here and re- peated by the Premier, but the sad truth is that the western part of the island con- nues 1o contain several thousand insur- | gents under their principal chief. Even under the walls of Havana they areal- lowed to cut up a whole Spanish escort and were able to sustain an eight hours’ | fi_ht with a column of 900 men. Our troops evacuate and burn villages with the view to not weaken the main army | by leaving detachments for ti eir defense. The 1ebels have entirely succeeded in hoiding their ground througuout the dry ason and are actively fanning the flames insurrection throughout the island. buve in the nearly pacified region three-fourths of our army, while there is | a much larger territory held by the rebels where our soldiers have yetscarcely set foot. Finally, of the 200,000 soldiers sent hence not one-half are now in the field.” CEE SECRETARY ALGEKS HINT. Legation Attacles at Madrid Had Better Leare Families at Home. GO, I, July 3.—A Cuba special imes-Herald from Washington says: There was quite 2 flurry of interest in the Cuban question in town last night, when it became known that Secretary Alger bad iniimated to Captain C. Bliss, We We CHIC who will shortly go to Madrid as at- tache to the American legation there, | that it would not be advisable to take Mrs. Biiss and her children with him, be- cause of the possibiiity of trouble. Lieu- | tenant George L. Dyer, the naval attache, also proposes to go to Madrid unaccom- panied by any member of his family. These developments are generally ac- cepted as an indication that the adminis- tration expects more or less excitement in Madrid during the coming autumn or as Minister Woodford shall have had an opportunity to put the demana of his Government to the Spanish court. It was also developed to-day that Con- sul-General Lee is expectei to arrive in Washington during the next two weeke. He will return to Cuba. General Lee's Lhome-coming wiil be 1n season to admit of consnitation between him and General Woodiord, as the latter is not to sail un- til the last of the month. It is the desire of the President that beforeentering upon his important task at Madrid Gsneral Woodiord shall be in possession of every obtainable scrap of informatiun concern. ing the sitnation in Cuba, and a consulta- tion with General Lee will, thereiore be of advantage to him. toon as THE PEEMIT CAACELED. A Meeting That Will Not Be Held on the White House Lot. WASHINGTON, D. C. July 3.—The patriotic labor meeting, which was to have been held July 4 on the White House lot, near the Executivc Mansion, will have to be Leld at some other place. Colonel Bingham, Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds, has learned that the real object of the meet- ing isto discuss the Cuban question. A. A. McGuire, a former member of the Cuban Junta, conceived the idea of hold- ing a mass-meeting to make appeal for | Weyler ordered the arrest of | when Weyler several months ago pro- spicuous place in this list of swindlers. Many merchants, well known as mem- bers of the uncompromising Spanish party, La Union Constitutional, and who are now in privon, bave shown by their conduct that their campaign for a continu- ance of the war was inspired more by greed than patriotic feelings. The amount of money stolen by all the-e persons is over $10.000,000, and this is the way the frauds hauve been committed: Orders from the s veral battalions in the fi-ld for goods were sent to Cienfuegos, and the merchants who received them and who had previous arrangements with the military cashiers delivered one-fourth or one-third part of the orders at regular prices, securing receipts from the colonels for the full amount. On the presentation of the receipts the cashiers paid the full sum, but the difference between the value of tbe goods delivered and the sum paid was divided between the merchants, the cashiers and the colonels. This frauduient practice was going on swimmingly when the soldiers, badly fed, began to desert to the Cubans. Then all the swindlers. It has been discovered that hibited the grinding of sugar-cane, Gen- eral Pin. in accordance with a previous arrangement with the Captain-General, notified many sugar-cane planters that the Spanish army would not disturb them in their work 1f they secretly paid a cer- tain sum for the privilege. The owner of one sugar estate paid General Pin $50,000 and another $25,000. Businass was being carried on on this profitable basis when Weyler and Pin quarreled over the amount pald by one farmer, and the result was that the Captain-General sent General Pir to Spain, accusing him of immorality. E S CUBANS EAID TWO TOWNS. Defeat the Spanish Garrisons Plunder the Stores, HAVANA, Cusa, July 3.—The town of Santa Mana del Rosario, near Havana, has been raided by Cubans under Colonel Castillo. The Spaniards fortified them- selves in a church to resist the attack, but a large partof the church was blown up with dynamite, and the garrison, after losing eighty men, surrendered. The in- surgents burned fifteen houses. They re- mained in the town five hours and retired after plundering all the stor's. Bejucal, another important town near Havana, has also been raided after figl t- ing in which the Spaniards lost 110 men | and the Cubans eighty. | General Rivera continues in a ecritical | condition. At the Hospital San Ambrosio | the employe< say that the Cuban general ! and | was not purposely poisoned, but that the | wrong medicine was given him by mis- | take, Weyler isreported at Manzanillo, San. tiago de Cuba, but his early return to Ha- vana is expected. ———— | Full Confidence in Weyler. | MAD RID, Spa1w, July 3.—At a council | of Ministers to-day Canovas reported to her Majesty that the Cabinet has full | confidence in Weyler. The Prime Minister | also sa1d that his information with regard | to the policy of the American administra- tion and the insiructions General Wood- ford would bring to Spain was very satis- factory.

The only company granting the 60-cent rate 1s that of James Turnbull, whose mines are two miles west of here, and if the miners are allowed to goto work on Mondav those mines will be placed in operation. ALL GU OUT IN INDIANA, Over Eighty Thousand Men dJoin Unemployed. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., July 3.—Nearly all the bituminous miners in the southern part of the State went out to-day. There are about 2000 miners employed in the district, which contains the counties of ! Owen, Pike, Perry and Vanderburg, and it is expected that every mine in the State | will be 1die on Monday, with the excep- | tion of a fewin Clinton County, where | the miners do not belong to any organiza- tion. In anticipation of the strike an attempt was made during last week to organize the Clinton County miners, but nothing was effected. TERRE HAUTE, Ixp, July 3 —Presi- ! dent Knight of the Indiana District & United Mineworkers was at a meeting of the bicck miners of Brazil to-day and says | he has o doubt that all the block miners, | though not members of the organization, will join the strike. 'He says that all of | the 80000 miners in the State will strike. e THE EFFECI IN KENTUCKY. tha Much Destitution Among the Men Is Pre- dicled. LEXINGTON, Ky., July 3.—The effect of the coal strike in Kentucky will be disastrous to the miners, as they have little | to fall back on. Their waces have never been large, their expenses have been high, | and they have saved nothing for a rainy day. Many of them are hundreds of miles away from their old homes and kindred, and there is no outlook for work. Along the Cincinnati Southern Rail- road, from Pulaski County south, ali the mines have shut down. Some miners have gone into Tennessee, but find little work there. Others are trying, with poor success, to work farms. In Northeastern Kentucky, which is penetrated by the Uhesapeake and Ohio and Lexington and Eastern railroads, all the mines are closed. Five hundred men have been thrown out of work in this region and more than that numper along the Cincinnati Southern. In the district known as Middleboro the miners seem satisfied with their wages and have refu-ed to go on strike. The Idaho Indian Scare Is Orer. WASHINGTON, D. u., July 3—A long dispatch received from Brigad Gex!eul Coppinger at Omaha by acting Adjutant-General Breck to-day disposed of the Indian scare in Idaho. Reports sent to Copninger by officers sent to in- vestizate show that the Indians as- free Cuba at the very doors of the White House. A permit was secured by a labor organ- ization and it was supposed that only a meeting of patriotic laborers was to be held. When Colonel Bingham learned the real object of the meeting he ordered that the permit be revoked. —_————— STOLE T MILLIONS. How Apanish Officrrs and Contractors Have Lobied the Army.

ANACONDA, Monr., July 3.—Two acci- dents, one of which may result seriously, marred the sport to-day. In the second heat of the pace Judge E. A.

Three ribs were fractured and it is believed he received other iniuries. The driver of Ophelia es- caped uninjured, as did the two hLorses. The other accident occurred in the hurdie race. J M B fell over the last hurdle and threw his rider, Thompson. The boy was padly stunned, but as far as known sus- tained no serious injuries. The weather was cold and disagreeable, the crowd good.

OHICAGO, Irn, July 3.—The annual amateur championship swimming race of the A. A. U. was held in the lagoon at Lincoln Park this afternoon, the first time in the h'story of the A. A. U. that the meet was held iu Western waters. The meet was under the auspices of the Chica“o Athletic Association, and took on the nature of an international contest, as among the competitors were Friiz Kniese, the German cbampion, and Paul Neu- mann, the Austrian champion, at the Olympic games at Athens, who raced fo- day wearing the colors of the Chicago association. Nearly all the crack swim- mers of the country were present, Califor- ni: being reprecented by Dan Ranear and Howard Brewer of thie Lurline Club of San Francisco, both of whom hold records. A rather strong wind was blowing from the south and directly up the lagoon, but this was in favor of the swimmers, es- pecially in the shorter events. The water was not roughened enough tobe an im- pediment, and a more ideal day or place for record-breaking could not be desired. The shores of the pretty iazoon were lined with thousands of people. Following are the results: 100-yard championship, five starters—Dan Raunear, Lurline Club, San Francisco, won. Time, 1:07 2-5, beating a!l previous American records 2 1-5 seconds. John F. Haunty, Mil. waukee Rowing Club, second; R. E. Beach, Chicago Athlet'c Association, third. 100-yard school race, five starters—W. A. Knowles, Milwaukee, won; A. W. Goetz, Chi- cago, second: C.E. Dunlop, Chicago, third. Time, 1;20. 550-yard race—O. C. Kestler, Milwaukee Rowing Club, won; I J. Couch, unattached, second. Time, 3:154-5.

W neck added another yard to the lead of his ciubmate. The third men, J. M. Davis of New York and R. E. Beach of Chicago, fought hurd, Beach succeeding in cutting & yard off the New Yorker’s lead. On the final 100 yards N. Murray for New York and G. C. Rew for Chicago fought tor the victory. Rew succeeded in the first fifty yards in drawing up to almost even terms wiih his opponent, but Murray came away at the end, wl;ming ‘easily by one a half yards. Time, 100-yard clothes race, four contestants—W. C. Goetz. Milwaukee Rowing Club, won; George W. Gland, North Side Natatorium, second; A. Wepier, Milwaukee Rowing Clubd, third. ‘Time, 1:29'1-5 One hund ard handicap, ten starters— J. M. Davis, New Yerk Athleiic Ciub won; A. €.

Whitney Wins the Final and Wil Be Pitted Against Cham- pion Hardy. SAN RAFAEL, Cav, July 3.—The sec- ond day of the tennis tournament is over, George F. Whitney ot the California Tenanis Club will be pitted against the present champion, Samuel Hardy, and the final match for the championship of the Pacific Coast will be fought out next Monday afternoon. The sport to-day was witnessed by a large and fashionable gathering, which occupied the sheltered seats in the stand facing the courts. The white summmer garments of the ladies were resplendent, and the scene was a pretty one. The sun beat down un- merciiully upon the players, yet the day was perfect—such a one as can be found only in San Rafacl. - The results follow: H.J. Diilingham of Honolulu was defeated by R. N, Wnitneyof the California Tennis Club by a score of 63, 7- A. B. Bowen o1 Alnmeda was defeated by George F. Whitney of the California Tennis Club by a score of 6—4, 6—3. J.J. Crooks of San Rafael was defeated by C. B. Root of the California Tenris Club by s & score of 7—5, 6—0. In the matches between the winners of the firat round (best 3 out of 5) the follow- ing were the results: Sumner Hardy was defeated by G orge Whit- ney by & score of 6—2, 6—1, 8—6, 63 C. . Root was defeated by R. N a score of 6—1, 6—2. Tnhis left the Whitney brothers to play off to determine who should meet Samuel Hardy and try for the championship. George F. Whitney was the victor. In the three_ sets played he defeated his brother, K. N. Whitney, by a score of 7—5, 6—4, 6—8. When the referee an- nounced the result the spectators ap- plauded and the defeated Whitaey jumped over the netting and warm:y grasped the hand of his more fortunate brother. The hour set for the zame between the champions is 2:30 Monday afternoon. Many of the cruck tennis-players from various parts of the coast will witness the contest, which undoubtedly will be upon a high scale. Samuel Hardy is one of the best players on the coast and is the present champion. He will have an excellent opponent in George ¥. Whitney, and there is much speculalion as to the result.

TARIFF DEBATE NEARLY ENDED Amendment Offered for a Beet. Sugar Bounty. Jones of Arkansas Insists on Its Full Discus- sion. Rather Than Delay the Passage of the Blil Its Promoters May Withdraw It, WASHINGTON, D. C., July 3.—When the Senate met to-day there was little evi- dence that the close of the long and arduous tariff debate was nearat hand, with a possibility of the final vote late to- day. The attendance in the galleries was no greater than usual, and during the morning hours there was considerably less than a quorum present. The chaplain’s prayer referred to the an- niversary of the Nation’s birth and the profound significance of that event in the civilization of the world. A resolution was agreed to calling on the Secretary of the Interior for the names and political affiliations of pension ex- aminers in the fieid recently dismissed. Gallinger of New Hampshire secured an amendment extending the inguiry to those dismissed from March 4, 1893, to July 1, 1893. The tariff bill was then taken up and Allison presented three new amend- ments, not for immediate action, he said, but in order that they might be speedily printed. The first provides for a bounty of one-quarter of a cent per pound on beet sugar made from bheets grown in the United States from Iuly 1,1898 to 1903. Jones of Arkansas expressed surprise that on the day which he hoped to be the last of the tariff debate the committee should bring in this far-reaching amend- ment, embodying one of the most rad:cal departures made in a century. Such ex- periments as had been made in the line of bounty legislation had proved disastrous, he said. Aulison explained that the amendment was a precise reproduction of the bounty clause of the law of 1890, except that it was confined to beet sugar and thatit was limited to one-fourth of a centa pound. “Of course there is no usein talking about hurrying this proposition now,’”’ said Jones. “There must be time to look into1t.”” “Certainly. There is no purpose to hurry it,” Allison furtier explained, say- ing that the purpose of the amendment, and the only purpose, was to increase the production of sugar beets and the making of sugar therefrom, as these beets could be grown as wellin this country asabroad. Allen of Nebraska proposed an amend- ment specifically stating that the bounty 1s to “encourage the cultivation of sugar beets.” The amendment then went over tempo- rarily. The Senate this afternoon concluded the first reading of the tariff bill, admin- istrative sections and all. The House sec- tion prohibiting the entry of all convict- made goods was agreed to and many oth- ers of the administrative provisions were restored to the bill. Jones forced the withdrawal of the sugar-bounty amendment. After the first reading of the bill had been completed Jones announced that in view of the new amendment on sugar bounties the Senate would be in session a ‘‘good long time.” It could not be passed without the fullest discussion. The weather was iniensely hot; therefore, Jones proceeded decisive- ly, he thought it well to zive up the early daily meetings of the session, resuming the 12 o’clock sessions, and he thought it desirable that the Senate now adjourn. Alhson responded that he thought the bill was to be passed to day. In surprised tones Jones answered that such an idea was preposterous. With this bounty question brought in, could it be possible to expect the passage of the bill this week, or next week, or the week after next? He was aksolutely astounded, he said, to have this proposition brought in at the last moment. He again expressed hope that 12 o’clock sessions and ‘an ad- journment for to-day wowld be agreed to. Thurston of Nebraska, who had been conferring with Allison, took tbe floor. He spoke of the part he had taken in urg- ing this beet-sugar bounty and his earnest wish that it be incorporated in the bill. “But I recognize,”’ he continued, “‘that the people of this country are dempndir:g the immediate p.suin of this tariff bil! They are impatient that the rates of duties shall be so permanently established that the calculations of business can be made. As one of the prime movers of this propo- sition I reluctautly, in the discharge of what I believe to be patriotic duty, yield to the threat of the other side of this chamber to prolong this debate indefi- nitely and that the wheels inaustry may begin to revolve, that the smoke cf the chimneys may arige, that the spindies may begin to sing, I withdraw the amend- ment.” Thurston’s announcement was made with impressive effect and was received with awelike silence by Senators and spectators. Allen of Nebraska, the colleague of Thurston, took the Hoor and said he had not been present when the threats of filibustering had been made. *‘There were no threatsof filibustering,” interj-cted Petius of Alabama. Ii there had been such threats, Allen said, he thought he might take a hand for a few weeks or a few months. He earn- estly supported the bounty and said he recarded it as cowardly to abandon it. “If my colleague withdraws it, then I will renew it,” conciuded Allen. Allison said that in view of what had occurred he concurred in what the Ne- braska Senator (Thurston) said, that it was best not to introduce any question which might prolong the debate. He asked leave, therefore, to withdraw tne bounty amendment. Allen again proposed the some amend- ment. - Jones moved to table Allen’s motion. This had the effect of cutting off debate, and as Allen showed evidence of dis- plcba‘\sure, Jones withdrew his motion to table. Ky!e of South Dakota spoke in favor of the bounty, aiter which the subject went over until Monday. Then =ome minor matters in the bill were taken up and disposed of. Stewart moved to reduce the dutv on cyanide of potassium from 25 to 10 per cent ad valorem. After a long discussion the amendment was defeated. Ayes 27, noes 28. Allison offered an amendment to tax transactions in stocks and bonds. He said that although a long document it was quite simple. The amendment, hav- ing been read in full, went over without action. Miils offered an amendment imposing a duty of 20 cents a pack on playing-cards, including cards in stock. He =aid that the pending bill put a duty of 20 cents a rack ana 20 per cent ad valorem on im- ported cards. He demanded the ayes and noes. I suppose,” said Allison, “that if the amendment be agreed to the Senate will not request the ayes and noes.” A vote was takeu viva voce and the amendment agreed to amid laughter. The amendment suggested by Lindsay yesterday relating to the monopoiy of to- bacco by some of the European Govern- | ments and requesting the President to suggest some modification of the system was offered and agreed to. Wkite moved to reduce the duty on in- candescent electric lamps to 35 per cent ad valorem. Agreed to. Allen oifered a long amendment to change the rules for the transfer of dis- tilled spirits trom distilling warehouses to bonded warehouses, which went over without action. Allison asked for an agreement asto the time for taking a vote on the passage of the bill, but objection was made on the Democratic side, because important amendments were pending. He then suc- gested a night se-sion, but objection was also made ‘to that. He gave notice that he would trv to press the bill to a vote on Monday or Tuesday. An_order was made for the printing of the bill as amended, and after an executive session the Senate at 5 o'clock adjourned till Monday. —_—— THE BOND P STOCK TAX. to the Provisions of the Amendment Tariff Bill. WASHINGTON, D. C, July 3.—The amendment proposed by the Finance Committee placing a tax on issues of stocks and bonds and their transfer pro- vides that on and after Sepiember 15 there snall be levied a tax on bonds, debentures or certificates of indebtedness thereafter issued by any association, as follows: On each $100 or fraction thereof, 5cents; on each original issue, whether on organization or reorzanization, of cer- tificates of stock on each $100 face value or fraction thereof, 5 cents, and on all transfers of shares or certificates of stock on each $100 face value or fraction thereof, 2 cents. In order to secure the collection of the tax it is provided that it shall not be law-. ful to record or register any of the above classes of indebtedness unless stamps of- the proper amount are affixed and can- celed, and all bonds and stocks upon which the proper stamp- have not been afnixed ard canceled shall be utterly void. Exemptions from taxation are made in favor of bonas, debentures or certificates of indebtedness issned by the Government or any State, county, towa or other muni- cipal corporation, or by co-operative building association. The remainder of the amendment is a rescript of the stamp law of 1861, providing machinery for the operation of the act, describing the man- ner of use of stamps, imposing penalties for its violation or evasion, and for the forging of stamps. GRAIN FIRE NEAR CHICO. Flames Sweep Over Fields of Grain, Entailirg H:avy Loss to Farmers. CHICO, CarL., July 3 —The most dis- - astrous fire Butte County ever experienced started this morning on the grain field of Hamilton Paden, between Chico and- Durham. The fire originated from a spark dropped by Padens’ traction engine, and’ within a few minutes a great wave of. flame, carried by a strong north wind, . swept over the field at a terrific rate, com-. pletely consuming seventy-five acres of wheat which would have yielded froni 18 to 20 sacks to the acre. Then it spread to the field adjoining, where it destroyed’ 320 acres of wheat which would have turned out 10 to 12 sacks to the acre. This" belonged to Mrs. Robert Hennigen, who rents of the Pratt estate. Irom the Ben- ningan field the flames spread to the field" of James Michael, where they swept away: seventy-five acres, estimated at 10 sacks to the acre. Had it not been for the. promptness of the men on the traction engine of William Thomas, who were thrashing near by, the whole adjoining country would havs been swept over. Tnomss uncoupled from his separaior. and at the rate of six miles on cut across fields, not even stopping for fences but crashing through them. His crew jought - like demons until the fire was extin.. . guished. = ‘The men had just returned to their.: work when a fire started in another field.. of Paden’s, consuming 160 sacks ‘of thrashed wheat and thirty acres of stand- . ing grain, This making a total of’ acres and 160 sacks. Paden’s loss was covered by insurance. S —_— 5 MOUKNING IN SANTA ROSA. . Suddenly” Popular Juliue Bizzini Is Mtricken by Death, : SANTA ROSA, Can, July 3.—-Tulius Bizzin1 died at his residence in this city this morninglafter a two days’ illness. The news of his death spread rapidly and in. expressibly shocked the entire commu- nity. His many friends could hardly believe that the strong, hearty man of 41 years could be cut down with so little warning. He was taken with a severe cold on Thursday last and gave but little attention to the attack. On Friday pneus monia_set in, and Saturday morning found him dead. 3 : A more whoie-souled, jovial and coms * panionable man it would be hard to find, and he numbered his friends by the thou-. sand. He was a native of Switzerland, 41 yeurs of age and hud resided in Santa Rosa upward of twenty years. Asapub-. - 11c caterer he had few equals and no supe- ° riors in this section. He was the propries tor of the Campi restaurant in this ci for sixteen years. His proudest boast w: that the Campi had not closed its doors in* sixteen vears, and that during that time- - forty-six rival concerns bad flourished, .. flickered and died.
