REZ2ET D s BOLD PLUNDERING Weyler in Sore Straits to Provide for His Soldiers. Cattle Men Who Protested Against Robberies Are Threatened With Death. Meanwhile the Insurgents Are Well Supplied and Continue Their Daring Operations. HAVANA, Cusa, July 18.—Tr'he situation in Havana City is very alarming, because the whole population is threatened with famine. Cattle from the country can only be obtained in such small numbers that only the very rich can pay the enormous prices demanded, Vegetables ana all other supplies are very scarce and Weyler, in spite of many appeals from the people, is strongly opposed to autkorize the importation of cattle from abroad. The Spanish army all over the island is also suffering for want of provisions. To satisfy the troops, Weyler, on his arrival st Sancti Spiritus, adopted arbitrary measures against the dents of that town. All the cattle Sancti Spiritus, as well as those coming to town from the neighboring country, were seized by order of the Captain-General. When owners complained, Weyler said that they had not paid taxes. When the receipts for taxes were shown, he arrested the complainants. Vicente Cucli and A. Castelar, two cattle-owners, offered the Captain-General half of their property if they were allowed to dispose of the other balf. They were told their cattle belonged to the troops, and if they should continue their protests they should be shot with- out even a court-martial, Weyler issued orders to the cattle-owners, butchers and bakers of the town 10 immediately supply milk, meat and bread to the military hos- pital at Sancti Spiritus. Several Spanish officers called at all private residences and demanded the immediate delivery ot all supplios in the house, Weyler says there is still in Cuba people who live in houses and eat, and that he hasrifles and am- munition enough to secure from them provisions for the army. Spain cannot afford to disburse the eighty milliors extra that her army consumes every year in Cuba. She is obliged to plunder the country now to feed the soldiers and to face dangers of discontent and revolt in her own ranks. There is no hope now that the Government wiil be able to pay the trcops even one of the eight months’ arrears now due them. Meanwhile the Cubans, with their stores full of supplies, maintain a guerrilla war- fare in six provinces of the island. A train from Mutanzas was blown up by in- surgents near Guareras and several Span- ish officers and soldiers killed. Near Ma- jagua and Cocodrilo, Matanzas province, the Spanish column of General Molina for several hours pursued some bands of in- surgents, who, after a little firing, retired until they were a mile west of Cocodrilo. In this way the Cubans succeeded in de- coying General Molina to & camp Where twelve dynamite bombs had been placed, all connected by wires with an electric button some distance sway. When the Spaniards arrived at the place the button was pressed and a terrible explosion oc- curred, killing many men and several of- ficers. In an engagement at El Platano, Santa Clara province, the insurgents lost several officers. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 18.—Clara Bell Brown, director-generai of the Woman’s National Cuban League, Washington, D. C., has issued an address to ‘‘mothers, wives and daughters,”” in which she says: “With pity and indignation we have learned from the testimony of eye-wit- nesses of the horrors ot the Inquisition that have been revived by Spain, and we, in the name of God and humanity, ask pity, prayers, aid and assistance from every woman in America for the relief of these women and children and for the inde- pendence of Cuba.’ Branch leggues, headed by well-qualified women, will be property of T in formed all over the country.,” VERA CRUZ, N July 18. — The Spanish man-ol-war Nueva Espana has arrived from Tampico and is cruising along the Mexican coast for Cuban fili- bustering expeditions. It is reported that a large expedition got off under Ler nose while she was at Tampico. PEACE NEGOTIATIONS 7DEL.4 YED. Turkish Dip/omats Trying to Wrggie Out of a Promise Made by the Porie, CONSTANTINOPLE, TuRkEY, July 18.— Notwithstanding the fact tbat Tewfi Pasha announced at the meeting of Em- bassadors Thur:day that the Porte ac- cepted the principle of a strateric fron- tier, the Government is still wriggling in an attempt to escape from the resul: of that acceptance. The Embezssadors held another meeting vesterday. The proceed- ings were considerably delaved by the late arrival of Tewfik Pasha. When finally he did arrive he explained the Spitan had, detained him, ana then proceeded to sub- mit a new plan for the delimitation of the frontier. The Embassadors found the pian not acceptable. They informed Tewfik the conference would meet again as soon as he brought a written acceptance of the frontier as traced by the military attaches of the embassies. The Foreign Minister then returned to Yildiz kiosk, and mat- ters have not advanced in the slightest dé- gree. ATHENS, Greece, July 18.—The Gov- ernment has summoned to the colors those members of the reserve who were exempted in the first two classes now under arms. Italso summoned the class who were destined under ordinary eircum- stances to join the colors in October. This measure is considered necessary to fill the ranks of the army. RS SHOT BY A FULMEK HUSBAND. Fate of a Wifs Who Had Been Descrted and Eemarried. HENDERSON, Ky., July 18.—Melissa, wife of Fred Darrow of Stanhope, was shot dead while sitting on the porch last even- ing by Joel Warner, her former husband, who suddenly left bher five years ago. After three vears’ absence the deserted wife ‘considered him dead and married Darrow. Without warning Warner ap- peared last night, demanded that she give ip,Darrow and resume her former relstions with bim. Sbe refused, order- ing him to leave the place. He shot her thrice. Asthe alarmed neighborsran to arrested, but refusea to divulge the reason for forsaking his wife for so long a time. P et ALL DIFFERENCES SETTLED. Satisfactory Culminaiion of the Coniro- versy Betw:en Bishop Bonacum and the FPriests. LINCOLN, NEsg., July 18.—It was offi- cially announced from the pulpits of Catholic churches here to-day that the differences existing for some time between Bishop Bonacum and several of his priests had been settied to the satisfaction of both factions, and an investigation proves such to be true. The quarrel has extended over a period of five years and provoked some very animated scenes and discus- sions. AL one time twenty priests of the diocese were in open rebellion azainst Bishop Bonacum. They formed a power- ful secret organization to promote their interests known as the Holy Alliance of St. Barnabas. The trouble grew out of the alieged tyranny of the Bishop in re- moving his priests in an arbitrary man- ner. At one time Bonacum was in the police court charged with criminal libel, growing out of the excommunication of one of the priests. The cases have been several times reviewed by Monsignors Satolli and Martinelli, once tried by a spe- cially crzanized canonical court at Dubuque and once reviewed by the Holy Father at Rome. By tne final settlement both sides make concessions. Fathers Fitzgerald and Murphy, the most ageres- sive of those in opposition to the Bishop, are well provided for. The former is given a good charge at Grafton and the lattar will go to Seward, both Nebragka towns. Father Fitzgerald has also been offered the position of private secretary to Hon. Church Howe of Nebraska, who goes to Samoa as the representative of the | United States, and he has not yet fully determined upon his course. POSED AS AN ADMIRAL'S WIFE. Ellen Peck, a Notorious Confidence Woman, Swindled Rich Men Out of Many Thousards. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 18.—In Mrs. Mary Hansen, who posed in Brooklyn for more than a year as the wife of ““Admiral Hansen of the Danish navy,” the police of thiscity think they have discovered Ellen Peck, anotoriousconfidence woman who has swindled many wealthy menin this city and Brooklyn during ber long career of crime, and who is known throughout the country and abroad as one of the cleverest swindlers. Mr. and Mrs. William Simpson, who aided the swind- ling, posing as her son and daughter-in- law, are now under arrest. The principal topher Lott, a wealthy Brooklyn physi- cian, and a trained nurse, Nellie Shea. The services of both were employed and their bills promptly paid. Mrs. Hansen toid them in various conversations that the admiral was coming home soon, Meanwhile his fortune of $60,000,000 was tied up in the treasury vaulis ai Washing- ton. She excoriated Secretary Carlisle for refusing to sllow her to get the funds. She exbibited telegrams, te which she had forged his name, to convince them, and so wholly gained their confidence that she was soon able to borrow $800 from the | nurse and $10,000 irom the doctor in small | sums on notes, promising rich returns | when the admiral returned. The doctor died last Mav as a result of worry over the swindle. Mrs. Hansen has been indicted, but is at large. Several years ago she swindled Soapmaker Babbitt out of $19,- 000. i —_— ALMOST A FATAL FAILURE. Insects Have Caused Great Havoc With the Mary/and and Delaware Pench Crops. BALTIMORE, Mp., July 18.—S8pecial Agent Mills of the Philadelphia, Wilming- ton and Baltimore Railway Company, has made an estimate 6f the Maryland and Delaware peach crop. He predicts the crop an almost total failure. Peaches bave nearly all vanished from the trees. The “Junedrop’’ this season is the heavi- est in the history of peach culture on the peninsula, and growers who anticipated the liiting of morigages by this crop have had their hopes blasted. Thedamage was done by the curculio. Wherever the in- sect stings the peach it is sure to fall. So numerous have been these destructive in- sects that Miils noticed in an orchard near Seaford a peach that had thirteen stings on it. This orchard is no excep- tion. The cause of the rapid increase of the curculio is 8 mystery to fruit-growers, but Mills says it is the fault of the farmers themselves. In 1895 and 1806 there were large crops of peacbes, and the ground under the trees was covered with peaches that had either rotted and fallen off or had been thrown there as culls and left to rot. Instead of the growers picking the decayed fruit up, as is done in California, it was left there for these insects to breed in. e RECONCILIATION COMPLETE. Colone! Bradbury Decl/ares That He and His Wife Have Buried the Past and Are Again Happy. CHICAGO, Irn, July 18.—John M. Bradbury, the young California million- aire, and his wife are en route for New York and Mother-in-law Banning is speeding toward the Golden Gate. The reunited couple left on the Lake Shore limited at 5:30 o'clock, while Mrs. Ban- ning had to wait four hours longer for her train. Before their departure Bradbury said: “‘Our reconciliation is complete. I am acain happy and <o is Mrs. Bradbury and Mrs. Banning. Of course the past is to b_e regretted, especially the mnotoriety given us by the newspapers, but we will try to forzet. We are both young yet and have a long life before us. We haveagreed to bury the past and forget the cause of estrangement. As to our plans they are not wholly settled yet. We go to New }'ork, where we many remain for some time, It is possible we shall go to New- port and some of the other Kastern re- sorts. At any rate we expect to stop in and about New York for a few weeks at least. We have a host of friends in New York, so we shall not lack for entertain- ment. Later we may go to Europe. We shall not return to California in the near future, aitbougn, ot course, that is our home ana there we will go when we have tired of traveling. My mother is already on her wav to the coast on the Canadian Pacific. The report that she sailed for Europe is a mistake. It was another Mrs. Bradbury who sailed on the St. Louis last week."’ *My husband has said.all that } care to give for publication. We will be happy if let alone,” added Mrs, Bradbury. 7 Killed in a Friend!'y Boxing Bout. COLUMBIA, La., July 18.—During a friendly boxing bout last night Elisha Whittington struck Carey Townsend a heavy blow over the heart, killing him in- stantly. Whittington was arrested and is awaiting the action of the Coroner’s jury. victims of the latest game are Dr. Chris- | ENGULF TEHAMA Forest Blazes Near Red Bluff Sweep On Unchecked. Eight Dwellings and a School- house Known to Have Been Burned. Orchards Blighted by the Flames and Pastures Denuded of Vegetation. RED BLUFF, Cavr., July 18.—The fire which started on Blue Tent Creek yester- day morning has burned over a large sec- tion. There was a hard wind blowing from the north and the flames were car- ried with almost incredible speed through the dry grass, low brush and stubble fields, carrying everything before them with aroar and arush that were awful. Fences, barns, sheds and houses were de- stroyed, in addition to the vast amount of feed for stock. The distance from the place where the fire started to where it is now burning is at least eighteen miles. The width of the path made by the flames varies from five to ten miles. The origin of the tire is not known, al- though it is said by residents from the country which has been traversed by the flames that it was started by two young men. Mutterings are heard among the people and if it were proved that an in- cendiary had applied the torch that has caused so much damage some one of the scorched and blackened oak trees would bear a grewsome weight from one of its limbs, Just at present the psople are excited and worn out from their long labors and it has been almost impossible to get ac- curate news from the fire. THE CALL cor- respondent, however, visited the scene. He found men, women and children ex- hausted from the severe strain they had undergone during the past two days. In some instances the fire has run up to with- in a few feet of a house and then been ex- tinguished, Eight dwelling-houses and two schoolhounses have been burned. The houses of Cash Smith, William Shoe- maker and Louis Wright, together with | barns and sheds, were destroyed yester- day morning, and at noon the Dibble Creek schoolhouse was razed by fire. The burning of this building enabled the | flames to cross Dibble Creek. ‘They had come over the hills and down to the creek with great rapidity, but for a time it was thought they would be stopped there. The schoolhouse caught, however, and the burning shingles carried the flamesacross the creek. Away they went again, now seeming tc stop for a moment as if to gather strength and then dashing on, sometimes jumping as far as 300 feet at a time. The fire on the north side of Dibble Creek continued to move on up and down the side of the dry creek bed, endanger- ing many homes. Sheriff Bogard got to- gether a crew of men and sent them to the Fortier place, four miles north of town, where they were forced to remain all night to save the buildings of Ranch- ers Fortier, Ewing and Plimire. After a bard stiuggle and well-timed back-firing, the wall of tire was stopped. When the fire crossed Dibble Creek it went to Pen Creek and down the canyon like a racenorse. It seemed to break in three pieces here, and one part came down Brickyard Creek and wiped out the Neison p ace, four miles from town. Another part went west, ana it is this wing that is now burning as fiercely as ever toward the fields of R. H. Blossom, twelve miles west of Red Bluff. All last night and to-day crews of men have been going out to nght fire, and as none of them have returned it is evident that thelr services are very much in de- mand. From the tops of tall buildings in Red Bluff after nightfall the flames were seen by many people. The entire country north and west of town seemed a mass of fire, and here and there could be seen the brighter and bigher blaze which an- nounced the destruction of some bullding. The loss occasioned by this fire cannot be estimated, ana it will be several days before it is known. Many people are homeiess. It is known that eight houses have been destroyed, but the names of all of the owners cannot be learned. Miles and miles of pasture land have been denuded, and the loss is therefore inesti- mable. The people who live in the coun- try over which the fire has burned are not in a position to stand this 1ill fortune, The speed with which the high wind was bringing the fire toward Red Bluff last night made the people here very un- easy, and preparalions to turn out at a moment’s notice were made. This danger has passed now and the town issafe. A greatmany small orchards have been burned, and it is almostim- poseible to find a fence in the path of the conflagration. THE CALL correspondent was at Dibble Creek when the fire came over the hills, It took the flames about fifteen minutes to travel a mile and a half. The fire would seem to strike a bunch of grass or brush and then bound 300 feet before striking again. A crowd of men attempted to stop the flames tnere, but were com- pelled to run to get out of the way of the heat and smoke. Animals crazed with iright could be sesn running before the conflagration, and anon a sickening squeal would announce that one had been over- taken and burned. e SONOMA THREATENED, Forest Fire Driven by a Heavy Wind Towara the Town. SONOMA, Car., July 18.—The large fire which was started near Kenwood yester- day is still raging in the mountains near Glen Ellen and is traveling this way be- fore a stiff w.na. Large volumes of smoke can be seen rising above the mountzins to the north anc northwest and many hun- dreds of acres of grain and pasture lands have been burned over on the ranches of James Shew, Martin Peter and other mountain farmers. The extent of the damage is known to be ereat, but no definite figures can be given. Tne fire is still burning fiercely and urged by a heavy wind it may threaten this place bef>re morning. The ranchers for many miles around are fighting fiercely, but their back-firing had but little effect. —_— Fire on « Lodi Kanch. LODI, CaL, July 18.—Fire to-day de- stroyed the residence of J. L. Harney near town. Tne flames spread to the out- buildings and the tankhouse and sheds were burned. The wind carried the sparks to a large wheat pile, but after h fight- ing nearly all of the wheat s saved. The loss is $3000, partially covered by in- surance. —_— SANTA CHUZ MDUNDAX SELVICES. Christian Church Delegates Hear Two Splendia Sermons, SANTA CRUZ, Cawn., July 18.—There was a large attendance at the Christian Church convention at Garfield Park this morning and evening. The early prayer- meeting was led by Rev. J. E. Denton and the Sunday-school was conducted by Superintendent Henry ?hldl.. At 11 The Christian Endeavor was led by Mrs. Birch at 6:30 o'clock and was largely attended. At 8, Dr. B, B, Tyler of New York, one of the best-known ministers of the Christian Church, delivered one of the best sermons that bas been listened to at the convention. He preached from the text “Then saitn the Lord, Stand ye in the way, and see and ask for the old paths, where is the good way and walk v.hexl'ein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.” “The primitive love is supreme love to God,” said he, *‘with such an affection for men as will lead to service in their behalf, because of their relation to Him. If we love God, we must love the children of God. If any one fails to love his fellow men, he does not truly love God. Thus far the restoration of Primitive Christianity is desirable and practicable. “But what about the ordinances—bap- tism and the supper of the Lord? It is evident from the teaching and conduct of the apostles that they understood Jesus to purpose the perpetual observance of these rites by his people. Baptism and communion stand as fitting expressions of the essential faith and hope and love. They are the divinely frascribad language in which believers declare their faith and hope and love. In this connection they possess special value; out of this connec- tion and apart from this purpose they are destitute of meaning.” The attendance at this convention is the largest in the history of the association, and the interest this year exceeds that of any previous session. ——— SANTA CRUZ ENCAMPMENT.

ATLANTA, Ga., July 18.—Recent dis- closures of a novel court of procedure at ! Blakely by the County Court have stirred up a storm of indignation throughont the State. Itappears that it has been the custom to allow convicts to redeem part of their sentences by receiving whippings. Yesterday a necress, convicted of the theit of a pair of cuff-buttons, was sentenced to corporal punishment, and execution of the sentence was personally superintend- ed by Judge Arthur Powell Gray on his own premises. Had not Sheriff Black in- terfered the woman would have been lashed to death. The Sueriff ordered the remainder of the penalty to be observed in j.;tl. A sweeping investigation will be made. OWN ABDUCTION in Monterey Romance Which Mongols Are Principals. Pretty Ah Sigh Carried Away by Men Engaged by Her Lover. Goes Disgulsed as a Boy, Only to Be Overtaken and Returned to Her Father. MONTEREY, CAL., July 18.—The sensa- tional kidnaping episode in the local Chinatown last Tuesday night has reached a new phase and bears a flavor of romance. When the two officers sent in pursuit of the girl and her captors brought the fugi- tives back to Monterey last night the story came to light. A Ban Francisco Chinaman whom Ah Sigh, the fourteen-year-old daughter of a Monterey fisherman, had once seen took the youthful fancy of the girl, and as she was bright and pretty after the Mongolian type the attraction was mutual. The suitor offered to buy her from her father, but Quong Sue, having another prospective son-in-law in mind, declined to sell ber, and .immediately set afoot negotiations with the other man. Ah Sigh did not wish to marry the man her father pre- ferred, and so managed in some way to communicate with her lover. The result was an offer of $1000 from the San Fran- cisco man Lo the three men who stole her for her safe conduect to him. The plans were laid and all would bave gone weli nhad not some celestial ‘Peeping Tom” reporied the affair to Quong Sue and thus started the pursuit. Tne runaways were traced from here to Salinas, but there the trail was lost, and was only recovered by diligent use of the wires. The party was finally located in Watsonville, where officers arrested them, bringing them to Monterey last night. The girl has ever since her capture been disguised as a Chinese boy. The abduc- tors made such stubborn resis tance that it was necessary to handcuff them. Little Ah Sigh prefers her San Fran- cisco beau, but ;seemed not at all unhaopy over the failure of the plan which was to give her to him. The hearing of the case will come before Judge E. Michaelis to- morrow. SAN JOSE, CaL, July 18 —Deputy Sher.ff Black to-day arrested Sing Hong, the third of a trio of highbinders who kidnaped a Chinese girl at Pacific Grove a few days ago. The man arrived here last | night on the 12 o’clock freight. The Wat- sonville authorities have been notified and it is expected they will come for the man 10-mOIrow. Drowned in the Sacramento, SACRAMENTO, CaL., July 18. — The Bacramento claimed two more victims this afternoon, making five within eight days. years, a son of J. C. Grant, a Southern Pacific engineer, and his little chum, Harry Lee Rorick, who lives with his father at 8an Jacinto, and who was in this city on a visit to his mother, the parents having separated. The boys went for a swim, and shortly afterward their clothes were found on the river bank. Within a few minutes the bodies of both lads were found lying together in a deep depression in the river known as “‘the welL."” S s Endeavorers at Los sngel, LOS ANGELES, CaL, July 18.—The churches of this city had an almost unpre- cedented attendance to-day. The Christ- ian Endeavor mass meeting at Simpson Tabernacle tuis afternoon drew a crowd that was several thousand in excess of the capacity of tne great auditorium. The President, Rev. Francis E. Clark, deliv-~ ered an address and other speakers added to the interest of the meeting. At other churches during the morning and evening services the visiting Endeavorers appeared in great crowds. Comparatively f‘:w of the Endeavorers have continued their journey eastward, the heavy trains being loaded principally with Ualifornians taking advantage of the cheap rate. el R College Ranch to Be Resurveyed.
