Tue fifty men returned to the huts of the siarving concentrados, telling them that they must either resign themselves to die from hunger or attack the murkets at Matanzas. All then started for the citv, running and yelling like demons. Without other arms than their knives and sticks they attacked the markets and stores. Women led the way, fighting des- peratelv. The first guards were overpow- ered and disarmed. Th- main market was plundered in half an hour and several stdres were sacked. The assailants numbered about 3000 per- sons. The garrison and militia soon gatbered and atiacked the undisciplined mass of pacificos who, without leaders or organization, were aispersed after many of them had been butchered by Spanish ol .

M. to-day, de- spite the ts of § b spies and care- fully laid plans of United States officials and Pinkerton deteciives. The revenue cutter Chandler was watch- ing near the battery ior the schooner, whle she, with all szils set, was galloping away through the sound, and the revenue boat, d with Unired States marshals and detectives, was mooning about the harbor and bay, the pursuers wondering what could have become of the schooner. The Silver Heels is a fine vessel, and has a net tonnage of 128. She is known as one of the speediest of her class. Spapiards here have been watching the Silyer Heels for some time. She was first seen in the harbor at about9 o’clock on Saturday night. She was then on her way to take on her cargo. The P. H. Wise, a swift ocean tug belonging to the Moran Brothers’ fleet, had her in tow. She passed by tbe Battery and up the East River and was made fast to pier 39, which is the whart of the Bridgeport line of steamers, where she was quickly loaded.

Survivors of the Lost Steamer Tell of the Terrible Fanic After the Vesse! Struck. HAVANA, Cusa, Oct. 17.—The gunboat Maria Cristina, which left this port yes- terday for the scene of the wreck of the coasting steamer Triton, bound from Ha- vana to Bahia Honda, Pinar del Rio, which sank vesterday morning between Domica and Mariel, has returned, sc:om- panied by the tugboat Suri, which went with her. Tne two vessels reached here at 1 o'clock this afternoon, the gunboat baving on board ninetcen and the tugboat twenty-turee of the members of the lost ship’s company, of whom thirteen are civilians and soldiers. The whereabouts of the others of the company is unknown. The Triton struck the rock during a heavy rainstorm. Her carzo shifted and fifteen minutes later she sank in 120 fathoms of water., A scene of terrible confusion and panic ensuad 25 -00n as the passengers realized the meaning of the crash. In a w.ld struggle they rushed for the boats. The first boat that was lowered capsized im- mediately aud all of its occupants were drowned in the whirling waters. The next was struck by an enormoaus wave and turned over, drowning twenty, but the irail craft righted again, and eight who had been t: rown out regained it. Some were ©ovd swimmers and kept themseives afloat for hoursand others floated about for twenty-four hours on planks. Four soidiers on pianks, whom the strong currentscarrizd east of Ha- vana, opposite Morro castie, were saved. by a pilot-boat going toward Cardenas. They declare that last evening there were many others near them on planks, but when this morning came all these had disap- peared. Some of them probably became food for sharks. Those who were rescued tell heart- rending stories of the scene during the terrible quarter of an hour before the Triton sank. An army captain, wife and daughter went down together, locked in a last embrace. A mother with twins 15 months old drifted helplessly away on the cres: of a great wave. All the other ladies and children were drowned. Just as the Triton was sinking Captain Ricardo, her captain, committed suicide by shooting himself with his revoiver, Itisimpossibie to give the exact num- ber of those who were lost, but it is esti- mated that they were no fewer than 150, No passenger list has been found. The vessel, which carried a general cargo, was not insured. The forty-two rescued persons suffered severe'y from the exposure. Ail of them were more or less bruised and many of them badly wounded.

Over Three Thousand Resi- donts Made Homeless by the Flames. Rellef Measures Taken and Many Provided With Tents—Loss Is Abbut $3,000,000. Spectal Dispatch to THE CALL HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Oct, 17.—H. toric Windsor, one of the most beautiful | towns in the province, was devastated by | fire this morning. For six hours, begin- ning short.y before 3 A. M., the fire, fanned by a violent northwest gale, raged to fiercely that the local fire department was | absolutely belpless to cope with it, and | within half an bour after its discovery the Mayor began to call foroutside assistance. Long before noon the town had been eaten up almost completely, the area covered by the flames being nearly a mile sqaare. Of the 400 or more buildings occupying the section burely half a dozen siructures re- mam. Among the buiidings that escaped were the Windsor cotton factory, Kings College, the Anglican Church, the Edge Hill Schonl for Girls and the Buffrin Ho- tel. The latter is the only hotel left standing. | No Nova Scotia town has ever been vis- | ited by a conflacration of such dimensions. | Of the 3500 people that inhabited the place few have homes of tueir own to- night, Over 3000 have been taken in Ly the residents of the surrounding country and neighboring towns, while the re- mainder of the sufferers have gone to | Halifax or are sheltered in army tents erected in the vacant plais to-night by a detachment of British troops from the gerrison city, The disa-ter is appalling in its extent. Tae fire staried in a barn benind the Ma- rine block,in the beart of the business district. The high gale prevailing carriea the flames to other buiiding- beiore ihe firemen had time to zet at work, and in a short time the showers of sparks, carried in all direciions, had ignitea a score of | buildings, The occupants of d“enmgs, | | | had time to burry on some clothing ana to darag some household goods into the | streets, but there was no place of safety to which anything could be removed quickly enough to save it from being destroyed or damaged. The flames cut a ciesn gap from the water's edge on the business| iront to the forests in the rear, bounded by rerry Hill on the south side and by Fort Edwards on the north, During the past few years many hand- some brick structures have been erecied, but these were generaily contiguous to old wooden buildings, and all went to- gether before the furious flames. The | origin of the fire is somewhat mysterious. A severe lightning storm passed over the town before the flames burst forth, and some think the barn in which the fire started may have been struck by light- ning, but many strongly suspect that the conflagration originated through the care- | lessness ot some drunken men. W en morning b:oke the site of Wind- sore was a scene of desolation, with hun- dreds of frantic, thinly ciad and destitute men and women and children rushing back and forth through the smoky streets, Fortunately no lives were lost, aithough the streels were perilous w flying bricks and slabs which the fierce hurri- cane drove frcm the roofs like thunder- bolis. In the hurry and excitement horses and cattle in the stabies were forgotten aud many perished in the flames or were suffocated from smoke. 1 The ruins of the fire are ablaze to-night, the smoldering embers having bLeen fanne t into a bla and the heavens are Iit with the flames, which cast their reflec- tion across the river on eitner side as far | as the eve can see. Tne occupants of the few Liouses that remain are keeping awuke to-night, fearful that the fire will sprizg up again. The fire has moderated some- weat and there is no likelihood of further disaster. Relief measures were started in Halifax at an early hour and tuis aiternoon a trainload of provisions, tents, b.ankets, ete., arrived from the provincial capita Aboard the train were General Montzom- ery Moore, Governor Daly, Mayor Stephen | and 100 men of the Royal Berkshire Regi- ment and Royal Engineers, who were broaght to attend to the erection of tents and aid in the relief work. The total loss is estimated roughly at $3.000,000. Whilea number of the heay- iest io-ers are partially insured and some of them pretiy well covered, the total in- surance is calculated to be not more than half a million. ——— HEAVEY LUS IN NEW YORK.

Spectal Dispatch to THE CALI. LONDON, Exg., Oct. 18.—The Daily News 1n an editorial headed “The Bimet- ist Conspiracy” says this morning: **We do not know what authority there may be for the statement that the Gov- ernment has agreed to continue the ne- gouations, nor can we see what the United States or any o her counuy has to do with the matter. But th re must be an ena to the conspiracy of silence in which the Governmeut is involved. Our tinancial credit is far too serious a subject to be bartered with foreigners or handied in the dark.” After severely reproving the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the governor of | the Bank «f England for their share in the transactions the Daily News poirtediy demands explanations from Mr. Balfour, the First Lord of the Treasury, and says: *‘I'nere are those, inciuding ourselves, Who regard it as a public -candal that tize First Lord of the Treasury should be a bimetallist. They argue that foreign critics may justly doubt the sincerity of our monometullism when they see a man at the treasury who would, if he could, destroy the whole of our monetary sys- tem.” After insinuating that the question has been left open with a view to influencing the two forthcoming Parliamentary bye- elections 10 Luncashire, the Daily News reiterates its demand for full publicity and calls particularly for the letter writ- ten by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beacu, to the governor of the Bank o England.

The facts that follow, remarkable as they are, were furnished by Mrs. Cornell, who is not imaginative. Imblay Clarke was a brother of Grace Clarke’s zrandfatherand was her paternal granduncle. The goid fever e zed Clarke 1n 1849 and he went to California. For several years his relatives at Cranbury heard nothing from him. They then gota letter. Clarke idhcr!b“d the country and hardships he was suffering. But he added that ne was prospering and growing rich. Then there was silence for many years, About 1860 Clarke’s kinsmen concluded he was dead. They wrote to the Post- master at San Fraicicco, asking informa- tion of Clarke. The Postmaster prompily replied that Clarke was certainly alive and was paying taxes 01 more than $400,000 worth of propert;. More years passed and nothing was heard from Clarke. Nor could his relatives get any information sbout him. Finally, in 1870, they learned indirectly that Le had gone from San Francisco to Peru, and from there to | Austraia, and was at the mines near Dariing, Murrey River. It is known now that Clarge died about 1875, eight years before the birth of the schoolgirl who is now his heir. Clarke’s | deatb, however, was not known to those | most interested until a year ago.

BARAED UT OF His CHURCH. Another Sensational Chapter in the Al Saints Cathedral Row at Spokane. SPOKANE, WasH, Oct. 17.—Another seusational chapter was enacted in the All Saints Episcopal Cathedral row to-day. Rev. Dean Richmond Babbitt, who claims to be the spiritual head of the cathedral, was denied admission to the church to partake of the sacrament at the early communion at 8 o’clock. A ain at 11 o’clock the door was barred and he had to go to Trinity Chapel with his family to worship. Yesterday Dean Babbitt called upon Bishop Wells, who with the chapter is holding the cathedral, and told him he wou!d not attempt to preach, but would waive his rights for the day rather zhan have a disturbance in the churen. He said he desired io worship in a pew. The Bishop said he had nori-ht to refuse him this privilege. This morning the chapter or vestry decided, however, to bar him out. George 8. Brooke, president of the Fidality Bank and senior warden of the chureh, said to-da: “‘We uaderstood from the morning papers that the dean ~as to take the case into court, seekingto | be reinstated in the cathedral, so we were adv sed by our counsel not to let him en- ter the church.”” When the dean appeared at the early services the sexton barred the door in his face. On the step the dean met Mr. Brooke, who said: “We don’t want you bere.” At 11o'clock thedoorkeeper and Brooke went through the same periormance, The dean tri-d to send in for the Bishop, but the latier would no: come forth. The dean may lay the case before an ecclesi- astical court. To-morrow warrants will be served for assault on four prominent bank-rs, mem- bers of the chap er, who threw Rev.

The summary of all classes of service in operation June 30 last follows: Number of routes, 32,491; length of routes, 470,032 miles; annua. rate of expenditures, $49,- £62,074; number of miles traveled per an- num, 420,850,479; rate of cost per mile traveled, $11 84; rale ol cost per mile of length, $106 08; average number of trips | per weex, 8.60. For star mail service the estimate for the al year ending June 80, 1899, is §$5.495,000. Last year there was an in- crease of 5,330,749 miles of travel in star service, so essential to rural tricts. A current year deficiency of $30,000 is es- timated for the steamboat mail service. Tue estimates for the fiscal year 1899 in- clude steamboat service, $470,000; mail messenger service, §930,000; *‘transporta- tion by pneumatic tubes or other similar services by purchase or otherwise,’ $225,- 000, and wagon service $780.000 Last year there was only ore pneumatic postal | tube ia operation in the country, thatin Puoiladelph S.nce then lour more con- tracts have been executed in Phiadelphia, New York, Boston and between New York and Brooklyn. Concerning this new postal feature Gen- eral Shallenberger reports: *It is quile possible to carry second, third and lourth-class matters as well as first, when it can be made profitable. Ex- tension to stations several miles distant from the main office eventuaily will save clerical force as weld as expedite delivery in distant cities from tweive to twenty-four hours. The most imporiant source of revenue to the deparument will be the large increase of local correspondents and special delivery letters. The extension of the tubular system will be neces arily slow and probably confined to populous centers.” The amount reported withheid from the Pacitic railroads on account of transpor- tation is $1,512,023; esumate for railroad tran-poriation for fi~c 1 year 1899 is $30 - 350,000. No est:mate for special fast mail service is submitted, as it is stated that the service in general will be belter if the siecial facility appropriation is discon- tinned. The estima for electric and cable-car service is $375.000 and 130 appli- cations for establishment of new service jof tnis character are on file. The report takes an important position as to newspaper mail and a plan to make the yrofits on short hauls offset the long runs. General Shallenbereer says: ‘‘Ibere seems to be no good reason why the great bulk of legitimalte newspapers carrie | by the Government at great loss to remote places shou!d,be permitted to be taken away from the mails by railroad and express companies whenever there is a short haul that would make the car- riage of them profitable to the Govern- ment. The carriage ol newspupers, pack- ages, etc., by railroads and express com- panies for the year have been ju-tified, perhaps years ago, when the railway mail sarvice was less eflicient, but with our present facilities such may be easily abandoned I am convinced that the de- | parim nt should carry the great bulk of newspaper matter that has Leen held from the mails and sent in baggage cars and special express trains.’” Croker’s Invitatwon Acerpted.
