THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1897. SPANIARDS SURPRIVED AND TAKEN General Garcia’s Forces Capture the Town of Santa Rosalie. OFFICERS CORNERED IN A BALLRCOM. After Taking Many Prisoners the Insurgents Burn the Houses. GENERAL MOLINA REPORTED T0 EAVE BEEN SLAIN. Weyler to Make Desperate Efforts to Drive the Ralders Away From Havana. HAVANA, CuBa, via Key West, Fia,, Aug 12.—General Calixto Guarcia bas won a great victory over the Spanish troops of the town of Banta Rosalie near Gibara, Santiago de Cuba province. The town was surprised by the insurgent troops while a big ball was in progress at which nearly all the Spanish officers were in attendance. In the height of the gayety the ballroom was fiercely attacked on all sides by the 1surgents, and the Spanish ofticers had no time to prepare any plan of defense. A few other officers in charge of the garrison end at the outposts had already surren- dered to the assailants, A few soldiers running from the barracks arrived at the ballroom some minutes before the Cubans and gave the alarm. The officers rushed to the door to escape, but were too late. The Cubans appeared with their machetes in -hand and com- pelled the officers to huddle in the ball- Some women fainted and others ed and sobbed. A desperate fight began, in which the s killed one captain and two lieu- 1ts and thirty Spanish had gathered around the officers to ¥ tect them. In the struggle a bullet struc. a woman, killing her instantly. Fourteen Spanish guerriilas from differ- ent par f the town, with the intention of assisting their comrades, entered the house behind the Cubans, b another force of insurgents ove red them and fourteen of the guerrillas were killed. The Spanish officers surrendered and were taken prisoners to Calixto Garcia. The remaining part of the town fell into the hands of the Cubans without resist- ance. Many Spanish soldiers, availing them- selves of the carelessness of their officers, were found drunk on the streets and easily arrested by the Cuban forces, The others, greatly surprised by the sudden attack, surrendered without resistance. The whole town was burned by the in- surgents, excepting three hous The Diario de la Marina says the anti- Spanish attitude of Senator Morgan in- duces the belief that he is paid by the Cuban Junta to support the cause of the revolutionists. At alate nour a report is current that General Molina was killed in an engage- ment with Cubans near Carcenas. A desperate effort will be ma le by Wey- ler to drive from the neighborhood of Havana the insurgent forces who are con- stantly raiding around the capital. The Cuban bands operating near Havana now are very well armed with rifles of a make used by the Spanish soidiers, and appear to have plenty of ammunition. Several expeditions with subplies for the Cubans have landed safely within sight of Ha- vana. In Matanzas province the Spanish troops have renewed the destruction of plantations and farms, under pretext that they will otherwise serve as strategical positiens for the insurgent forces coming from the east. SCHEME OF FUSION/STS. The Fopulist Committee Sheds Light on the False Charges Against kajor Dick COLUMBUS, Onio, Aug. 12.—The de- velopments brought out in the investiga- tion of the charges made in the Pooulist State Convention yesterday against Mujor Charles Dick, secretary of the National Republican Committee and the manager of Hanna's campaign, has created a pro- found sensation in political circles. The Foraker-Kurtz element of the Republican party are chuckiing over Dick’s misfor- tune, as they call it, and say he was easily caught in a trap set for him by the agents of Jobn R. McLean, and while the Demo- crats are shedding tears in secret at their inability to capture the convention, they gmile in public over the disclosure. ~One thing which excites comment in connection with this story of alieged bribery is that Major Dick, a sbrewd politician, could have been so easily be- guiled by a minister of the Gospel in the person of Rev. J. H. Taylor of Cleveland. Taylor stated that he got the money for the very purpose of exposing the cam- paign methods of the Hanna people. Hugo Preyer, also of Cleveland, accep ted 5 check from Major Dick for the same purpose and so stated. No evidence was adduced at the investigation tending to implicste delegates of the middie-of-the road faction who bad been charged in general terms wita having accepted bribes 10 defeat fusion, Taylor and Preyer both being fusionists, the 1nvestigation com- miitee is com posed of three middle-of-the- roaa members and two fusionists. The report of the midale-road members filed to-day with Chairman Creager of the Populist State Committee, after reviewing the charges and evidence, concluaes as follows: “Your committee denounce the brazen attempt of Hugo Preyer, Rev.J. H. Tay- lor, Peter Witt, Devid Rankin and George A. Groot to besmirch the character and integrity of the delegates of almost the entire convention by repeated charges and innuendos when they know they had no facts to substantiate their accusations.

A conference of Populists is to be called to consider what action shouid be taken. Major Dick is here to-night, but retused to discuss the cliarges, neither denying or affirming their truth. UN:TED MIZtRS ENJOINED. They Will Refuse to Obey the Order of the Court and Will Take the Consequences. PITTSBURG, PA., Aug. 12—Two Judges issued temporary injanctions to- day against the United Mine-workers, on the application of the New York and | Cleveland Gas and Coal Company, through its president, DeArmitt, the company near whose camps the striking miners have been gathering for more than two weeks, engaged in nearly successful efforts toin- duce the company’s men to quit work. The injunction was issued aiter a peti- tion was submitted showing intimidation in the methods of the strikers to force De Armitt’s men out. ¥t restrains President Dolan and other strike leaders and those associated with them from assembling, marching or encamping in proximity to | the mines for the purpose, by intimida- tion, threats, etc., of preventing miners from working. Before being served with the injunction Dolan said: “As T understand it the minérs are or- dered 10 leave the country an secure pro- tection_in foreign lands. li we refuse they will put us in jail, and I hope they wiil. There will be so many men refus: to obey this injunction that the jail wi 1 build a new jail. The miners are willing to go to jail, as they are certain then of getiing something 10 eat.” Ster:ff Lowry is at Turtle Creek. He announced to-night that he would enforce the injunction. The striking miners will make their usual march to the mines, and the Sneriff will serve the injunction. Chief Deputy James Richards says he bas 154 regularly appointed deputies, be- sides the private watchmen employed by the company. The strikers have ordered 1000 additional loaves of bread and their ccmmissary i8 in good condition. Two hundred and sixty miners are encamped to-night at Turtle Creek awaiting arrest in the morning. They declare the will submit peaceably but expect their supe- rior numbers to prevent the deputies from arresting all. 45 MINISTEE TO RUSSIA, The President Decides to Appoint Ethan 4llan Hitehecock of St. Lowis. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 12.—The 1 President has decided to appoint Ethan Allan Hitchcock of St. Louis to succeed Ciifton R. Breckenridge as Minister to Russia. He is an old friend of McKinley’s and not a candidate for office. When the offer was made, Hitchcock was at his summer home in New Hampshire. He wrote to McKinley at Lake Champlain expressing hesitation about accepting the place, but finally yielded to the earnest persuasion. He is now in St. Louis ar- ran<ing his affuirs preparatory to starting to St. Petersburg. Hitchcock is a manufacturer and the pioneer in the plate-glass industry of this country. On one of his Irequent visits to Washington to look alter tariff matters he became acquainted with McKinley. who was a member of the House. They became the stanchest friends. For various reasons the President desired a business man shouid represent the United States in St. Petersburz. Mr. Hitchcock’s brother, Herbert Hitchcock of St. Louis, 1s president of the American Bar Association. bl S ONLY ONE APPRAISER. John T. Dave Will Have to Perform the Work Previously Done by 1wo. WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 12—The Secreiary of the Treasury has decided that there shall be appointed only one Appraiser of Merchandise at 8an Fran- cisco. It bas been understood that John T. Dare will be appointed on the recom- mendation of Hon. John D. Spreckels, but certain ambitious California Republicans have been trying to geta construciion of the statute that wouid result in the ap- pointment of two appraisers. The Secre- tary yesterday informed Senator Welling- ton of Maryland that there would bc only one appraiser at Baltimore, and added in- cidentally that only one would be allowed San Francisco. Storekeapers and Gaugers. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 12.—The Secretary of the Treasury to-day appointed Arthur W. Glover, Eugene A. Hassell, Jsaac McGuffin, Nelson J. Saviers, William M. Winn, E. W. Gurley and Charles L. Shore as storekeepers and gaugers in the Fourth California Internal Revenue Dis- trict. e Eee Ferry-Boat and Lighter Collide.

Senator and Guests Had What They Term a Very Close Call. | But the Party Remained Aboard ]1 Until Tugs Were Sent to Thelr Rescue. PORT ARTHUR, Oxramio, Aug. 12.— Benator Mark Hanna’s yacht Commanche, with the Senator and a number of guests aboard, ran ashore on a clay bank in Nipigon Straits, Lake Superior, last night. Tugs were sent from here to get her off, and they succeeded at noon to-day. The yacht was going at full speed when sne struck, but reports are that she was not badly damaged. CLEVELAND, Oxnro, Aug. 12—The de- tails of the stranding of Hanna’s yacht | Commanche, received hera to-night, show | the party had a narrow escape. The Com- manche is of stcel construction and thor- oughly seaworthy. On board when the Commanche left here were Senator and Mrs. Hanna, Miss Hanna, Miss Ruth | Hanna and Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Gosline of | Toledo, and Miss Mary Phelps, besides the sailing master and crew of seventeen men. Nipigon Straits are known to all lake seamen as one of the most dangerous passageways of the upper lakes, and prac- tically unnavigable to any but pilots ex- perienced in those waters. Hanna’s com- mander was confident he could make the straits ali right and undertook to do so. Early yesterday morning while the Commanche was proceeding under three- qnarters of her steam she ran onto a sub- merged rocky formation, lurched, went anead and stopped with her stern still in deep water. The accident came without warning. The shock was terrific, and the yacht seemed to be about to be torn asun- der. The yacht shook from stem to stern, rocked, shifted a trifle and then lay stiil. A scene of intense excitement foilowed, and preparations for getting away began. Life-preservers were fastened on and boats lowered. Soundings showed the water to be rushing into her hold, but an examina- tion showed that she was resting easiiy, and unless a storm came up she would stay in the position in which she lay for an indefinite length of time. Thus reassured a man was sent ashore in a boat to secure assistance, and the dis- tinguished party made ready to wake the best of an unpleasant situation. The messenger made bis way to Nipizon sta- tion, on the Canadian Pacific Railroad, and from there sent dispatches to Port Arthur calling for two tugs and a lighter. These arrived promptly and the vacht was lightered. An examination showed that three plates were displaced and one cracked. After three hours' work the vacht was sufficiently repaired to permit ner continuing. She was putled from her perilous perch and contintued on her way, taking one of the tugs along for safety. Hanna's last dispatch received to-night “We are all right, but had a very close call.”” MAY FIGHT THE DUKE, dosta Ready to Fac a Duel. PARIS, Fraxce, Aug. 12.—Prince Henry ot Orleans, replying to the Duke of Aosta, eldest nephew of the King of Italy, who was sent to France by his Majesty with instructions to make an aitempt to pre- vent the duel being fought between Prince {Henry and General Albertone, as a result of the Prince’s reflections upon the con- duct of the Italian soldiers in Abyssinia, has informed the Duke that it is impos- sible for him to retreat. Itis now thought others will intervene in the matter. The following semi-official communica- tion has been issned: “It islearned from a trustworthy source that the unexpected intervention of a yery high Italian person- age, claiming for himself the honor of en- countering Prince Henry of Orleans, will in all probability modify the situation. Under these circumstances it is probable that General Albertone will have to give :_lnm: ,to the exalted personage in ques- ion. . A telegram which was received by Prince Henry while traveling last night apprised | bim of the new intervention, Prince Henry in STEWART 1§ A CONVERT Deserts Silver to Join the Great Wave of Prosperity. he Nevada Senator Sees More Money in Wheat Than in White Metal. Jones AlsoTalks About the Increase of Goid and the Luck of Repubilcans. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 12—The Times to-day publishes the following: Senator Stewart is one of the latest con- verts to commercial optimism. He is a bull on everything except silver. He is engaged in a vigorous campaign in Wall street, and he said yesterday that he heard so much about better times that he bad determined to gather in a part of the prosperity which 1s not only rampant in the street but throughout the land. When asked what had prought about the change in bis views he said: “There is no room for pessimism in this country. No one can be a bear in the face of the wheat famine in Argen- tina, Russia, Hungary and India. In view of these conditions abroad I should not be surprised to s-e silver sell for 25 cents and wheat as high as §1. There is nothing in talking silver at the present time, and my advice to my friends in the West 1s to fall in line with the forces of prosperity and progress and receive their due share of the reward. The time has passed for the old issues. We must turn to face new issues and new conditions. I frequently hear it said that this security market is a duplicate of the market of 1873. It is not. It is more of a bull market. All America bas to do is to get into it, go to sleep and get rich. The wheat situation in the West will make every railway not only a dividend-earner but a dividend-payer. Railroads that bave been moribund for years are now taxed to their fuilest capacity, and are still unable to accommodate their traffic. Iam told that there is imminent danger ot a car famine on many of the most im- portant lines traversing this country.” “Are the people in the West alive to this new situation?” ““The peopie in the West,”” he replied, “are wide awake. They know a good thing when they see it. Most of them are hanging on to their cereals with confi- dence born of hope and actual knowledge of what is going on around them. With their immense crops they will be able not only to liquidate their indebtedness to the money-sharks of ihe East, but will inau- gurate a buying movement that will sur- prise the people in this part of the coun- try. 1 think that by the late fall the truth of what I said and reiterated during the campaign will be generally recognized, and this is that there can be no general prosperity in this country that is not born and sustained in the West.” Senator Joun P. Jones of Nevada, who is spending a vacation in this city, said yesterday that the continued falln the price of silver ought not to surprise any one. “Bilver is falling in the common price,”” he said, *‘because of a falling oft of the de- mands for it as money. Japan has gone into a gold basis and so lessened the de- mand for siiver. Besides this there has been, because of universal hard times, a great falling off in purchases in the East. The Oriental countries use silver money, and our purchases are paid for in that metal. The demand has been cut off by reason of the hard times."” Ot the increasing gold production in Alaska Mr. Jones said: *“I am notop- posed to prosperity through any increase in gold. The Republicans are very lucky, and I congratulate them on the fact that this great discovery falls within their ad- ministration. I believe a great deal of gold will be found in Alaska, and it is cer- tain to restore prosperity, for which the Repubiicans will claim and receive the credit. I shall welcome its return, whether through gold or silver. Much glorification and congratulation is heard over the fact thatour Western wheat is zoing up to $1 because of a famine in Ar- gentina, Russia, India and other coun- tries. Ido not like to think that our prosperity is founded upon. destitution and starvation in foreign nations. I want a flood of money 10 turn the 1idle mill wheels and irrigate the waste plains of our land. “Another result that will follow from an azbundance of monaey, be it silver or gold, will be abatement of this haired of the trusts. The peopie hate trusts, and only prosperity will drive monopolies out of their minds. Pleniy of money will crush out the trusts. They flourish oniy in hard times.” DOLLAR WHEAT PREDICTED. The September Cereal Went Upward Yesterday With Unexpected Velocity. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 12.—Great ex- citement prevailed on 'Change this morn- ing when the market opened. Trading was very active and bull speculation was heavy. Cables were all higher, but the market for wheat was 1n a bull fever, and to a consider.ble extent worked indepen- dently of cables or crop news. The price sharply advanced to 89%, after which it eased off a little. CHICAGO, iLL., Aug. 12.—The excitine scenes of 1891 were renewed on the Board of Trade to-day. The alarm among shorts which cansed yesterday’s buige was re- doubled, and the farmer speculators were prominent figures on the floor of 'Change and about the commission-houses. The foreign markets responded only in a half- nearted manner to the advance yesterday. Liverpool and Paris advanced just about 114 cents each, although the former soon made up the difference. September wheat closed yesterday with sellers at 81 cents. First trades were made this morning from 815 to817% cents. After & few moments’ nesitation, pan- demonium broke loose in the pit and the bears fell over each in their rush to cover. When September reached 84 cents, long stuff came out freeiy and the market sagged to 8254 cents. Atter some hesita- tion another advance set in, which carried the price to the highest voint September has reached in yeare, 8415 cents, Sellers again turned the tide and a reaction fol- lowed to 83} cents at the close. Next to wheat, oats showed the best ad- vance and closed 3{ to % of a cent higher for SBeptember. Corn lagged and closed 3¢ of a cent higher for September. S8T. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 12.—The wheat market to-day went up with unexpected velocity until it reached 90 cents for Sep- tember. Twenty-five thousand bushels were sold at that figure. It closed Wednesday afternoon at 86% cents. The rise is due to the intormation that Chicago operators are buying _heavily. The busi- ness here was confined principally to large operators. Dollar wheat is the pre- diction here. : NEW YORK, N. Y., Aue. 12.—The big bull market in stocks is having its effects upon the hours of the clerks in Wall- street brokerage firms. Lizhts were twinkling in scores of offices in the big buildings along Wall, Broad and New streets until a late hour last night. Most of the large offices employed additional men. A membership in the Stock Ex- change sold to-day at $19,500. The last previous sale was $18,000. e u o WANTS AN ABSOLUTE DIVIRCE. Langtry Will Sue the Jersey Lily and Many Promirient Men Will Figure as Co-Respondents. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 12—The Journal’s London copyrighted special says: Itis positively announced to-night by Edward Langtry, husband of the Jer- sey Lily, that he will bring suit for abso- lute divorce and the papers will be served tnis week. Many persons of high social life, even royalty itself, are to be named as co-respondents, Langiry is moved to this course by the report in English news- papers of Mrs. Langtry’s prospective mar- riage to Prince Esterhazy de Galantha of Austria. Langtry told the Journal correspondent that he absolutely ignored the California divorce, and had instructed his solicitor to bring suit without regard to the action of the American courts. He said he would name as co-respondents what the English call “an exalted roysl personage,’”” and several others, including two Lords, a dis- tinguished sporting baronet, an officer of the Guards and an extravagant patron of the turf who died in America two or three years ago. ’ Langtry doesnot think the divorce will be contested, as the name of Esterhazy will figure extensively in the court pro- ceedings. Prince Esterhazy is one of the foremost horsemen. His racing stock is well known on the tracks of the Conti- nent, and his income 1s sufficiently large to make the best bloods of Paris jealous. Esterbazy is 54 years old. Mrs. Lang- try is at Savoy, where she dined with Esterhazy this evening. . —_— Transvaal Suzerainty. BERLIN, GERMANY, Augunst 12.—The Post Tageblatt ana National Zeitung to-day simultaneously resuscitate the question of G:eat Britain’s suzerainty over thes Transvaal. They print virtually identical articles, concluding wita a cate- gorical statement that the Transvaal does not recognize Great Britain's claim to suze- rainty. The arguments which lead to this conclusion are not new, but evidently there is some reason which isnot apparent on the suriace for again raising the point. e Medals jor Fictorious Turks. CONSTANTINOPLE, TuRkeY, Aug. 12, Velebi Pasha has arrived in Thessaly with thirty-five boxes containing medals, and eight boxes filled with swords of honor to be distributed among the men ana officers of the victorions Turkish army 1n the conquered province. A jeweled sword is to be presented to Edhem Pasha, commander-in-chief of the Turkish army occupying Thessaly, valued at £4000. e . Fatal Firs in a Hotel. ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, Aug. 12—A portion of the Grand Hotel at Baden, fourteen miles southwest of this city, was burnel to-day. There was a partial panic among the 130 guests. All the property of the visitors was saved, but it is piled up in the streets in hopeless confusion. Two unknown persons were burned to death. s Books Bequeathed to the Nation. MADRID, Sparw, Aug. 12.—It is learned that Senor Canovas bequeathed a fine library comprising 30,000 books to the National Library. Many of the works which will thus become the vproperty of the nation are extremely rare. Included among them is a secoad edition of Don Quixote. e MG A A Bridge Jumper's Feat.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 12— Champion Ten Eyck will not row in the Senior sculling race at the National re- gatta on the Schuylkill River to-morrow. Rumors of this were denied till to-day, when Ten Eyck admitted it. The meth- ods of Ten Eyck in the match have come in for a large share of criticism. It isre- marked that the youngster had no inten- tion of rowing here when he came, and only came as & huge advertising scheme. The conclusion reached by many is that the champion intends ere long to embrace professionalism. The reasons aileged for his failure to row are poor healih aiter the hard training he underwent at Hen- ley; that his hands were so badly swollen it was impossible for him to row, but this was proved to be without foundation by his appearance on the river this afternoon. His conduct is denounced on all sides as most unbecoming in an amateur.
