The Presidential pariy, a to official programme | will leave Dunkirk this afternoon on board the French warship Peuthau. The latter will be escorfed by the French war- | ships Bruix and Surcof and will arrive at | Cronsiadt on Monday morning next, Aug- 1 ust 23.

BOMB HURLED INTO HIS OFFICES. Two Rooms Wrecked, Mes- senger Killed and Four Persons Wounded.

Almost simulta- neously with the explosion an Armenian was arrested while trying to explode a | bomb in the Ottoman Bank. Later dispatches say that the explosion ed in the department of the Grand er. Two rooms were completely wrecked and a Turkish messenger killed. Four others in the rooms were wounded. When the news of the outrage became generally known there was much excite- ment. The authorities quickly attempted to discover the author of the outrage, but beir efforts were unsuccessful. Several persons have been arrested on suspicion. The Armenian who attempted to cause the expiosion at the Ottoman Bank is named Garabet. He would in all likeli- hood have succeeded in his object had it not been for the vigilance of oneof the guards, who saw him as he wes about to throw a parcel, which was aiterward found to contain a bomb. The guard sprang toward Garabet, and seizing him prevented him from throwing the missile. Another unsuccessful attempt was made during the afiernoon to throw a bomb outside of the Central police station in Pera, known as Galata-Serai, the object apparently being to destroy the guard. The man who made the attempt saw he was observed and fled. The guards started in pursuit, whereupon he drew a revolver and fired four ineffectual shots at them. He was finaliy arrested and upon being questioned said he was an Armeniain. These incidents ceused a temporary panic throughout the city, it being feared that there was going to be a renewal of the recent disorders. riedly closed their places of business, barring and barr.cading them to guard against assanlt. Tae infantry and cavalry patrols were immediately increased and a military cordon surrounded Constantinople proper. he excitement did not last long, however, the people soon learning the truth, where- upon the shops were reopened and busi- ss was transacted as usual. Patrols through the city are continued, though no disorder is anticipated. It is noteworthy that the foregoing re- ports have been allowed to leave Con- oc stantinople without being subjected mL place to-day within the pre- | pkeepers hur- | any delay. This is probably due to the iact that the outrages are ascribed to the Armenians. The greater part of the news telegrams from Constantinople occunies the incidents will take on an altogether different complexion eventually, 10WA’S REPUBLICAN TICKET. Railroad Influence Defeated by the | Selaction of a Lark Horse for Governor. CFDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Aug. 18.—The Republican State convention this after- noon nominated Lesiie M. Shaw, hereto- fore unknown, from Denison County, for Governor on the third ballot. Shaw made a brilliant little speech, telling the dele- gates they could go home and tell the people he had made no promises to any man or set of men, and that he would listen to advice, though he would not be foolish enough to follow all the advice he would get. The otier nominations were quickly made, but one ballot being required for each. The rest of the ticket is: Lieu- | tenant-Governor, J. C. Mcliliman of Lo- gan (a one-armed soldier); Bupreme Jadge, Charles M. Warman of Davenport; Railroad Commissioner, Charles L. David- son of Hull (renominated by acclamation); Superintendent of Public Instruction, D. C. Barrett of Osage. The platform rejoices over the election of McKinley; commends Congress for its promptness in enacting a tariff law, which 1n specifically approved; indorses and re- affirms every part of the St. Louis plat- form, especially protection and sound money; Gemands rigid economy in Na- tional, State and municipal government and a system of taxation that will jointly distribute the burd ns of taxation and al- low no corporatiou or individual to escape a just share; recognizes the principle tbat the object of this Government ‘is to secure equal opportunity in life for all, and, therefore, demands that the power of combination be held in check, and in- | vokes party history as a guarantee thatit exists oaly to do justice amoug men, to add dignity and comfort to the iives of the people and to make equality of oppor- tunities a reality. Altogether, the convention was a vie- tory for National Committeeman Cum- mins over Senator Gear and the railroads, which wanted Parrot for Governor, with Leggett for Judge, and the railway em- ploye piack left out. The t.cket and plat- form are regarded as strong. i et SALISBURY'S STUBBORN STAND. Causes the Deadlock That Prevails in ! the Feace Kegotiations at Constantinople. LONDON, Ex6., Aug. 18.—The deadlock that has prevailed for the last few deys in the peace negotiations at Constantinople is owing to Great Britain alone of all the powers opposing the proposal that Turkey shall occupy the towns of Trika- hala, Larissa and Vola, in Thessaly, pend- ing the payment of indemnity by Greece. This has produced a situation which, ac- cording to views held in certain quarters, will involve the breaking up of the con: cert of the powers. Salisbury contends that Greece is in- capable of finding money to indemnify, and consequently Turkish occupation would be permanent. This would be a violation of the agreement of 1881, as well | as of the principies upon which the nego- tiations are prcceeding. Even France | and Italy are opposed to the stand taken | by Great Britain, they taking the view that it would be reasonabie to allow Tur- key to evacuate Trikahala, Larissa and Volo, one by one, as installments of the indemnity are paid. It would be most difficult to forecast the outcome. The gloomiest views are heid in some guarters. Great Britain’s atti- tude has nnquestionably intensified Otto- man hostility to herself, and suggestions are made that Mohammedan troubles on the Indian frontier are connected there- with, —eng MONEY PiNiC IN MEX/CO. Consternation Caused by the Advanc- ing Premium on Gold—Mer- chants Are Aghast. MEXICO CITY, Mex., Aug. 18.—The premium on gold rose this morning to 140 per cent and this afternoon it was 143 to 145. Consternation prevails and no one seems fo know what may happen. Exchadge has reached the highest point ever known in this republic and will un- doubtediy steadily rise, as there is no evi- dence that the downward tendeucy of silver will be checked. Nobody here, however, doubts the ability of the Govern- ment to meet the interest on her foreign debt in gold, even under worse conditions than at present at least for some time to come. Fiuciuations of exchange are do- ing mors harm than the 1allin silver. If the premium should go to 150 per cent and stay there a basis would exist on which to transact business, but as it is now merchants do not know what to do, as they have no stable medium of ex- change. Lo B8AGASTA’S SELF-SACRIFICE. Wil Risk Life, Keputation and Every- thing for His Country. MADRID, Spain, Aug. 18.—In an inter- view to-day Sagasta oredicted tkat dissen- sions in the Cabinet would compel Azcar- raga, President of the Council, to resign. He said further: “lam quite ready when the fatheriand and crown requize my ser- vices to accept the missicn. I am will- ing to sacrifice my repose, reputation, life, everything. We will carry out our programme with energy and will approach the question of Cuba by introducing a law which has not been applied there yet. Such an experiment would enable us to give reforms the heartiest possible scope.” N BT M,//‘»*;/,}/,, 2 o i il m‘l‘ ar The Above Picture Shows the Place de la Bastile, to the Right of Which Is Located the Vincennes Railway Station, From Which President Faure Took His Departure.

It is possible that TERRIBLE TALE OF STARVATION Cuban Town Deprived of Food by Order of Weyler. Pitiful Pleas of the Women and Children to Ears That Are Deaf. An Epidemic of Madness Resulting In Scores of Murders and Suicldes. HAVANA, Cusa (via Key West, Fla.), Aug. 18.—The curate of the town of Es- peranza, Santa Clara province, has sent the following dispatch to the Bishop of Havana: Since the 1st of July all the stores and mar- kets of this town have been closed by order of tne captain-general. In God’s nmame I beg your Excellency to implore the captain-gen- eral 10 withdraw the order, otherwise &ll the inhabitants will die of Lhunger. Many bhave died already. The captain-general intends to | enforce his deeree until the fortifications are finished sround the town, and I am informed that the works will not be finished for twenty days. At the same time the Mayor of the town of Esperanza wrote the Governor of the province as follow: The whole population ¥s starving. The re- sources of the municipality are exhausted. Hundreds of women and children cry despair- ingiy for food and hundred have died of hun- ger. I do not know what to dounder these horrible circumstances. The order of Weyler closing the markets ana forbidding the sale ot all kinds of victuals I cannotdisobey. Mean- while, must I contemplate with indifference the spectacle of the people of La Ksperanza dying of the direst of calamities. I bez from your Excellency & prompt answer. We have no time to spare if we are unwiliing that everyboay should perish here, La Esperanza is a townof about 8000 inhabitants. It has been raided several times by the insurgents recently, and to chastise the inhabitants for not defending the town Weyler issued his barbarous de- cree, under the pretext that the stores and markets attracted the insurgents. What is more cruel still is the fact that a strong Spanish colnmn is encamped around the town and the BSpanish soldiers are well provisioned with food, but stringent or- ders are given to them, under the severest penalties, not to give any help to the in- habitants. The most terrible tales of misery come from the town. Mothers kneeling before the soldiers with their children in their arms vainly beseech the heartless Spani- ards for a little food. Men who attempt to break through the Spanish lines in order to get into the country either to procure food or to join the insurgents are immediately shot. In many cases they have tried to force a passage through in- stead of getting away by stealth, but being unarmed the Spanish easily over- power and slay them. The only hope of the population is that the Insurgents may come and rascue them, but thers is a very slight prospect of this. The insurgent bands which raided the town in July have moved now to the west, invading the province of Matanzas, and the Cuban forces near La Esperanza at this time are too few to cope with the 5000 Spanish soldiers sent to the town by Wevler. The latest report from La Es- peranza says that a sort of epidemic of madness has been produced by hunger among the inhabitants and that they kill each other and commit suicide by scores. MOVEMENTS OF GOMEZ. His Forces Said to Have Entered Santa Clara City. HAVANA, Cuea, Aug. 18.—It is re- ported at a late hour that the forces of Gomez have entered Santa Clara City. The important town of Trinidad, Santa Clara province, has been raided by the in- surgents, who plundered all the principal stores, secaring a large amount of pro- visions and ammunition. The Spanish garrison made a stubborn resistance, but could not prevent the Cubans entering the town. From Santo, Santiagode Cuba province, Cotonel Vara del Rey reports a nard en- gagement between bis column and sev- eral Cuban bands. The losses were heavy on both sides, but the Spanish claim a victory. Near Santa Clara City, at Purial and Machita, a large convoy. escorted by a battalion of Spanish troops, fell into the hands of the insurgents after a severe fight. Around Havana the situation is the same as auring the past few weeks. At Loma del Grillo General Quintin Banderas has issued a proclamation call- ing oun the colored people of the province of Havana to join the insurgents instead of serving Spain, as they are now doing. General Castillo has defeated at San- tiago de Las Vegas, a few miles from the capital, several guerrilla forces sent against him by Weyler. Weyler will probably not move from Havana until the political situation is decided at Madrid. The Mayor of Havana, Senor Miguel Diaz, had & noisy quarrel yesterday with Weyler over some municipal affairs. It is said the Mayor will resign. Public opinion is in his favor. iy AR 8 Masy FOK CiNOVAS SOUL, Funeral Ceremonies at St. Fincent de Paul Church, New ¥ork. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 18. —Requiem mass was held to-day at the church oi St. Vincent de Paul for the repose of the sounl of Senor Canovas. The interior of the church was draped with black crepe. A catafalque seven feet high, covered with wreaths and flowers, stood at the foot of the altar. Overhead was a black and white crown, from which hung broad streamers of the same colors. At the base of the catafalgue was an enormous wreath of roses and ferns, from which hung two ribbons of orange and red. The church was crowded with members of the Tuata Pztriotica Espanola. Among those present were Depuy de Lome and the Bpanish Consul. Father Jannice in his oration said: “All Spain weeps for him who rose from the ranks of obscurity to the highest pinnacle, and who gave up his life for the country he loved so well.” A telegram was received from Secretary Sherman as follows: “Accept my pro- found sympathy with you and the” Span- ish people on this occasion in giving ex- pression to their grief at the loss of so great a minister.” In an interview De Lome said positively that Weyler would not be recalled, as the Government was satisfied with his work m Cuba. e Rudyard Kipling’s Latest BRATTLEBORO, Vt., Aug. 18,.—A cable message was recsived by Rudyard Kip- ling’s family physician from Rudyard Kipling, now in Rollindean, Engiand, stating that his wife gave birth to a boy.

PROMPT AND CAREFUL ATTENTION. HOTINY AND MURDER AT SEA A Captain and Mate Killed and Their Ves- sel Burned. The Engineer, Unwilling to Proceed, Disables the Machinery. But the Captain Makes Repairs and Forcas Him to Continue the Voyage. BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 18.—A sea tragedy which in all its horrible details will proba- bly equal the famous Herbert Fuller butchery has been enacted on board an- other Boston vessel. What adds to the remarkable coincidence is the fact that this vessel was owned by the same firm, loaded at the same whari, with a similar cargo, and sailed for ihe same port, in the same month and almost on the same day of the month a year after the sailing of the barkentine Herbert Fuller, and as in the latter case, the captain and mate were murdered. The terrible affair, which resulted in the violent deaths of Captain J. W. Whitman and Mate William Saunders, occurred on the three-mas ted schooner Olive Pecker, owned by J. P. Ellicott & Co. The tragedy occurred in South American waters. On Sunday, June 27, she sailed from this port with a cargo of lumber, for Buenos Ayres, Argentina. The intelligence of the murders and the destruction of the vessel by fire was cabled to this city this morning by a banking firm in Buenos Ayres. The crew reached Bahia, a port some distance north of the ship’s destination. It is presumed from the fact of the murder that the crew mu- tinied, and after killing Captain Whitman and the first officer they set fire to the ves- sel and escaped to the shore. The suppo- sition is that the men are under arrest. The Pecker must have beea very near her destination when the tragedy occurred. When the intelligence reached here it spread rapidiy throughout the shipping community and caused intense excite- ment among the shipbrokers and ship- masters. The crew of the Olive Pecker consisted of Captain J. W. Whitman, aged 44, who resided at Rockland, Me., where he leaves a widow and little girl about 12 years of age. The mate, Wiilllam Saunders, 46 years old, belongs in Nova Scotia. He leaves a widow and four children. The second mate’s name is William Harris- burg, 21 years old, a native of Scotland. Steward Peter Thompson, a Dane; aged 43, and seaman Andrew March, a native of England, 36; Manuel Barial, a Span- iard, 33; Jonn Lind, a native of Sweden, 27, and William Saunders of Nova Scotia, 46, {there is a partial The Olive Pecker was a fine vessel of 823 tons net, built at Belfast, Me., in 1889 by George A. Gilchrist, and one of her principal owners is J. F. Ellicott of this city, altnough the captain held a large in- tereat in the vessel. The valuation of the AARRR AL AR AR A AR AR IR I A ke | 7 i« vessel is placed at $30,000, upon which insurance. Captain Whitman is well known in this city as a most capable navigator, and bas been in command of the Pecker for the past two years. Many recall the rumors of troubie between Captain Whitman and Engineer Mitchell before the scnooner sailed. The story is that the schooner was load- ing, and after he had signed the engineer decided he did not want to make the voy- age. Finally, when the vessel was almost ready to be towed out, the engineer dis- ablea the engine, thinking that this would result in getting a new man and his release. Captain Whitman would not let Mitchell go, but got the engine repair- ed and sailed with the unwilling man on AU A LA board. It was this the water men say made them predict there would be mora trouble on board Appointed Temporary Receivera.
