BARCELONA, Jan. 19.—The explosion of the boiler of a spinning mill near Man- resa, Saturday, destroyed half the village of Puente de Vitumara and it is estimated sixty persons were killed and one hun- dred injured. Of the injured thirty are not expeted to recover. The hospital at Manresa is filled with the injured. Six- teen mutilated bodies of worldng people have been recovered. These include the manager of the spinning mill, his two -sisters and many children. The Queen Regent has wired her condolence.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.—Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst to-day gave out a Jetter ad- dressed to Mayor Lew which had been adopted by the executive committee of the Society for the Prevention of Crime, Parkhurst is president. The opening paragraph reads: While the Society for the Prevention of Crime counts itself distinctly an ally of the present municipal administration there are certain principles of action to which we have uniformiy adhered and which we deem it In- cumbent upon ourselves to pursue and to urge, { even at the risk of excepting the old policy | of those whom we would like In all respects to i second and support. In ali our past activity as a soclety we have proceeded upon the distinct understanding that law exists for the purpose of being obeyed. The letter goes on to say that the first two weeks of the present regime have made it “entirely indefinite as to what civic righteousness in this city is and what it is not, and to that extent have operated to put the reform administration in the same criminal attitude toward law as was that occupied by the administra- tions of 92, 83, "97 and '9.” It deplores the fact that “while char- tered by the State to labor for the pre- vention of crime,” the society is not “quite certain any longer what is crime,” and says that “the atmosphere is clouded by ambiguity emanating from administra- tive incertitude,” and that “the situation is morally intolerable.” The letter further says that “‘there 1s not very much to choose between a Tam- many administration that has bad princi- ples and a reform administration that has good principles but is afrald to use them.” The letter, which is signed by Dr. Park- concludes by demanding of Mayor Low that “you brace your administration in accord with your oath,” and that he summon the resources at_his command to the work of “frankly and resolutely sup- pressing open or clandestine violations of recognized statutes.” This action, which iz entirely for the prevention of crime, is construed as a breach between the reformers and the re- form administration. Mayor Low to-night refused to discuss the letter. —_— Boy Killed by a Train. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 19.—Antone Myr- vold, a 13-year-old boy, whose parents re- side in this city, was killed this afterncon while attempting to jump on a moving freight train in the 1amroad yard. His brother was with him at the time and warned him not to jump on the train, as it was going too fast. The boy jumped, missed his hold, struck his head on an iron oil box and wa$ killed. His body was | dragged by the train for a short distance. Strike Riots in Terre Haute. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Jan. 19.—An at- tempt on the part of Terre Haute electric companies to run its cars on the city lines after a boycott was declared by the Central Labor Union resulted to-day in several small riots in the business center. Three cars were held up to-night and the non-union motormen and conductors were forced to leave them. The windows of | the cars were broken by strike sy s ympa- | thizers and the police were kept busypln making arrests. ——— Executive Committee Named. NEW YORK, Jan. 1.—A meeting of rep- resentatives of various German societies of New York and vicinity was held here to-day to take action concerning the com- ing to this country of Prince Henry of Prussia.

RAAF REINET, Cape Colony, Jan. 19.—Lord Kitchener has confirmed the. death sentence passed upon the Boer com- mandant, Scheepers, who was captured last October. He will be shot next Saturday. Of all the Boer leaders, Scheepers was the one most hated by the British. Fol- lowing his capture he was accused of the murder of five natives, who were alleged to have been shot by the commandant’s orders. Scheepers denied the accusation, with the. exception that he admitted the execution of one native, who was cap- ’tu}red while acting as a spy for the Brit- s The execution of Scheepers will arouse the Dutch of Cape Colony, who believe that the Boer leader acted in accordance w..h the rules of wal in ordering the native spy to be shot. PEACE RUMORS ARE RIFE. English Officials Said to Have Visited Leyds and Kruger. BRUSSELS, Jan. 19.—Dr. Leyds, the Buropean representative of the Transvaal, and the Boer delegates met again to-day at some mysterious rendezvous. Dr. Leyds now denies himself to everybody. It is asserted that Dr. Kuyper, the Dutch Pre- mier, on his return to The Hague from Léondon, had a conference with Mr. Wol- marans, one of the Boer delegates, who sent another delegate to consult with Mr. Kruger, and that another meeting will be held next Monday. In spite of the Boer denials, a strong feeling exists here that some peace move- ment is afoot between Great Britain and the Boer delegates, but there is difficulty in arriving at any acceg(able basis of terms, Mr. Kruger and Dr. Leyds being reluctant to commit themselves, It is declared in Boer circles here that a number of Englishmen supposed to be officials of the British Government arrived at The Hague under assumed names last Saturday and were later visited and en- tertained at dinner by the British Minis- ter there. PARIS, Jan. 19.—The presence. here of Colonel Arthur Lynch, who fought in the Boer army and was recently elected mem- ber of the British House of Commons for Galway City, is beljeved to have some connection with the reports of a peace movement in Brussels. Colonel Lynch is the son of a civil and mining engineer of Ballarat. He is 40 years of age and is descended from one of + — TWO ALLEGED PRINCIPALS IN MOVEMENT FOR PEACE IN SOUTH AFRICA. - stages of the Boer war he. acted as cor- respondent. for a French and an Ameri- can newspaper, and at the request of ex- President Kruger he organized the Sec- ond Irish Brigade, which operated in Na- tal under General Botha. The brigade took part in several of the most severe engagements and covered the retreat through Natal, and was subsequently en- gaged at Klip' River, Johannesberg and Pretoria. “After the fall of Pretoria he returned to France by the advice of the | Boer authorities, “‘to IEK the state of af- fairs before the French and American people.” Should Colonel Lynch return to Eng- land to take his seat in the House of Commons, 'he will have to face the un- pleasant ‘alternative of standing trial for high treason or of confessing himself a ELEVEN SOLDIERS DEAD OR CAPTIV Disap;pea.r ‘While Travel- - ing by Canoe Near Manila. Americans Capture a Notori- ous Woman Leader of Insurgents. MANILA, Jan. 19.—A report has been received here that a dugout canoe, in which eleven men of Company I of the Second Infantry were traveling, is miss- g and probably lost. It is believed the men ejther perished or were captured. General Wade has cabled from Cebu that 365 insurgents surrendered on the [sl- and of Bohol last Friday. The authorities here say that this statement is astonish- ing, if accurate, as the secret service had falled to learn of the existence of any such body of insurgents on Bohol. An important capture was made in La- guna Province, Luzon, when eight men of the Eighth Infantry captured a woman insurgent named "Aqueda Kahabagen. She recently commanded an insurgent force of 80 men, 306 of whom -carried rifies, while 500 'were armed with bolos. For Six years past she has been leaamng insurgent bands ‘- against the Spaniards and Americaus, General Bell, with 2000 men, is success- fully cornering and punishing General Malvar.

Lieu- tenant Ely, of the Fifteenth Cavalry, and four men were wounded, and two men were killed. Extent of Disturbed Area. General Chaffee, in_the annual report which has just been issued, sums up the situation from the military point of view by saying that the provinces of Batangas and Laguna, in southern Luzon, and the islands of Samar~Mindoro and Cebu con- stitute the disturbed area in which bodies of insurgents in force are to be found. General Chaffee says the prolongation of guerrilla warfare is due to the physi- cal character of the country and to the nature of the warfare carried on by the insurgents, who, in the same hour, pose as friends and act as enemies; to the hua manity displayed by the American troop: of which the insurgents take advantage, and to the fear of assassination on the part of those natives who are friendly disposed toward the Americans, should they give the latter information e6ncern- ing the movements or whereabouts of the insurgents. Municipal and provincial governments are beilng organized. These governments have not yet received' a practical trial. They constitute the only certain and re- llable method of ascertaining the progress ot the Filipinos toward self-government. Soldiers Over-Confident According to the opinion of army offi- cers, the disaster to Company C of the Ninth Infantry at Batangas, Samar, when forty-elght men were killed, is attributed to the too great confidence of these men in the territory which they assumed to be pacified. In the same report Judge Advocate Grosebeck ‘says the suppression of brig- andage probably will become one of thg most rying problems of the future. If the military arm be left free to deal with the marauders, there is no doubt of their final suppression. But the presence of the civil government complicates the-situa- tion considerably. With the civil and mil- itary authorities working in harmony, says Judge Grosebeck, no evil results should be looked for. e ADMIRAL SCHLEY BRINGS DOWN HIS ' FIRST DEER nunting' Party “Returns From St. Catherines Island With a Big Bag of Game. SABANNAH, Ga., Jan. 19.—Admiral Schley’s hunting party returned this aft- ernoon from St. Catherines Island. The party secured a large bag of game. Ad- miral Schleys is credited with having brought down one deer. It was his first deer, and a member of the party sald the admiral was more excited when he pulled the trigger than when off Santiago. The weather during_the hunt was superb. Admiral and Mrs. Schley will leave this city for Washington to-morrow.

WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, Jan. 19.—The Venezuelan insurgents, who have concentrated on the peninsula of Para- guay (on the east side of the Gulf of Maracaibo), have instituted a movement agajnst the Government. The insugents in the vicinity of Uehiro also have begun operations against President Castro. It is reported that a fierce engagement between the insurgents and the Govern- ment forces has taken place not far from Barquisimoto, in the State of Lara, iu which the insugents were victorious, and that there has been fighting between the insurgents and the soldiers of the V- ernment in the State of Maracaibo. CCQUELIN’S OPINION ’ OF KAISER WILHEL Astonished at German Ruler’s Inti- mate Knowledge of French Dramatic Art. BERLIN, Jan. 19.—Constant Coquelin, the French actor, who is now playing here, has made the following comment about Emperor William, by whom he was received yesterday: “Three things about Emperor Willlam astonish me. The first is his easy and almost accentless use of Parisian French; the second is his intimate knowledge of French dramatic art and his acquain- ance with the current theatrical life of Paris, concerning which he is almost as well informed as though he were living daily with the Parislan theatrical mana- gers, and the third is the extreme sim- plicity and cordiality of his manner.” Robbed of a Small- Fortune. KIRKSVILLE, Mo., Jan, 19.—I. Solo- mon, a Syrian llving at Keokuk, Iowa, was held up last night and robbed of a money belt containing $8500. Solomon had sold out his business in Keokuk and was looking for a location here. Two fellow- countrymen have been arrested, charged with the robbery. Solomon says one of them held him while the other cut the belt from his waist.. The money has not been recovered. AL e , Kills Friend Through a Door. SHAWNEE, O. T., Jan. 19—B. B.

Special Dispateh to The Call. BOSTON, Jan. 19.—An audience that packed the Academy of Music in Cheisea from pit to dome last night saw the greatest bit of realism that has ever been produced on the American stage. John L. Sullivan, ex-champton fighter, gave the audlence the great treat. John L. is star- ring as Simon Legree in “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” and made his first appearance in this vicinity last night. With countless delicate touches, many of them unper- ceived by the audience, John L. worked up to the climax where Legree thrashes Uncle Tom to within® an inch of his life. John L. believes in holding the minor parts up to nature. If the audience ex- pects ‘a man to be whipped wit inch of his life, John L. bpelileeves 1.5"301?.2 it right up to.the limit—and he did it, too. He wound his ten-foot lash around th% writhing form of Unele Tom to such good purpose that the actor playing that part screamed in agony and finally fell fainting upon the stage. It was great acting, but one man be- leved it a pretty rough way of earni modest stipend. % o8 i ——— SUES FOR HEAVY DAMAG BECAUSE OF DUCKING ANTHONY, Kans., Jan. 19.—Alfred Pat- terson, who was “regulated” last Septem- ber for maligning President McKinley, brought suit against ten citizens here for $5000 damages each.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—The Philippine question will be precipitated on the Sen- ate to-morrow when the committee on the Philippine question which has had the House Philippine tariff bill under con- slderation expects to report the measure. The bill, with committee amendments, will be sent to the printer, and Senator Lodge, chairman of the committee, will give notice of his intention to call it up on the following day and ask for its con- tinued consideration until finally disposed of. There is a general acquiescence of Re- publican Senators in this programme. There are other important measures to be presented at the proper time by admins istration Senators, but the present agree- ment is to pass the Philippine bill first, as being of the most immediate Impor- tance. A long discussion of the bill is expected by the Republicans and promised by the Democrats. The Democratic' leaders say they do not expect to be able to defeat the bill and disclaim all intention to de- lay| a vote unnecessarily, but they say frankly that they conslder that it affords an opportunity for the presentation of their views the Philippine question which they. cannot afford to let pass, Senator Lodge will open the discussion with a brief speech on Tuesday, in which he will discuss the merits of the bill and also the necessity for early action. He will be followed by some member of the Democratic representation on the com- mittee, who will outline the Democratic position. He in turn will be followed by other Democratic Senators. Nearly all of the Senators on the Democratic side are expected to be heard before final actiop shall be secured. Indeed, the prediction is freely made that a vote will not be ob- tained within a month. Senator Lodge's plan is to hold the measure to the front 1o the exclusion of all other business when the bill is once made the unfinished busi- 'ness. Senator Frye will probably report the ship subsidy bill to-morrow, -but he will not attempt to secure consideration for it for the present and probably not until after the Philippine bills shall have been disposed of. . The report of the Committee on Inter- oceanic Canals is expected later in the week, but may be delayed. The consider- ation of that question in the Senate will wait on the Philippine bill. During the week Senator Nelson will make renewed effort to secure the passage of his bill for the creation of a department of com- merce. The opposition to it will probably be continued for the present. During the early part of the week, prob~ ably to-morrow, Senator Cullom will ad- dress the Senate on the treaty making power of the President. The speech is expected to have a bear- ing upon the reciprocity treaties. Its de- livery at this time will be required by a number of Senators. If there should be an executive session of the Senate on Monday there will be an effort made to have the nomination of Governor Otero of New Mexieo confirmed. The calendar of the House of Repre- sentatives is still rather meager in Im- portant bills, so that there does not prom- ise to be a heavy pressure of business dur- ing the week. onday s the reguiar sus- pension day, but there are few measures likely to be passed by suspension of the rules. The urgent deficiency appropria- tion bill will occupy most of the time during the first few days of the week. It carries a total of $160,000,000, which is rather large for a deficiency measure, and it is expected that two days will be occu- pied in its consideration. Beyond this there is practically no programme for the week, as the bills ready for consideration are not of sufficient importance to secure definite time in advance. except in the case of the Hill bill for the exchangeabil- ity of silver and gold. It will be some time before opinfon is sufficiently matured on this measure to induce the leaders to set a time for its consideration. ST.

OPPLSE PASSAGE OF SILVER BIL Democrats Claim That It ‘Will Cause Financial Disturbances. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—The Demo- cratic members of the House committee on coinage, weights and measures have agreed on a minority report on the bill directing the Secretary of the Treasucy “to exchange gold for legal tender silver dollars,” and the report will be presented to the House to-morrw by Shafroth. The Teport takes the position that the passage of the bill is certain to produce financial disturbances. The following general prop- osition is laid down: Our Government has never conceded the right to the holder of silver dollats to demand from the treasury gold therefor, nor to the holder of gold to demand silver _dollars therefor. Such demands aiways have been rufused at the treasury. It is the notes and bonds of the Government that are payable in either gold or silver at the option of the holder. The following reasons why such a meas- are should not be enacted are given: First—It will require a large increase of the gold reserve of the treasury, as if the obliga- tions upon a reserve are increased the reserve should be correspondingly enlarged. If it re- quires $150,000,000 of gold to act as a reserve for the redemption of $346,000,000 of United States notes, called greenbacks, and $40.283.- 086 of treasury notes issued under the Sher- man act, will it not take at least $300,000,000 in _gold to act as a reserve when the $530,732,- 617 of silver dollars and silver tertificates are made a direct charge upon that reserve? Second—It will create an endless chain upon the gold reserve of the treasury and. thereby plunge the Government deeper into the banking business. If the endless chain upon the treas- ury caused by the redemption and reissue of greenbacks is a continual drain upon the gold reserve and a severe strain upon the Govern- ment how much more of a drain and strain will the '$530,000,000 of new obligations upon that reserve impose? The Government now has the power to call an absolute halt to a raid upon its gold re- serve by impounding the greenbacks and treas- ury notes, but if silver is made redeemable in gold it cannot do so until it impounds also the $530.000,000 of silver dollars and silver cirtifi- cates. ‘When there is a run on the treasury for gold it is the salvgtion of commerce and the reserve to have in dyculation a curreney which imposes no further demand on that metal. The bill will plunge the Government deeper into the banking business. Third—It will facilitate the exportation of gold. As the $386,000,000 of our curremcy re- deemable in gold is scattered all over the country it is difficult for large- exporters of 80ld to collect sufficient of that currency to present for redemption. But If silver certifi- cates, which form the great bulk of the cur- rency that circulates, can be better for pay- | ment in gold. then it becomes an easy matter to compel the Government to furnish all the gold for exportation. With other nations imposing restrictions upon their exportation of gold, and we fa- cilitating our exportation of the same, we are likely to lose great quantities of that lifa blood of commerce. Fourth—It will cause the retirement of the silver doilars and produce either a violent con- traction of the currency or the substitution of printed promises to pay. It will convert assets into Mabilities, dallars into debts.
