THE CRIME COMMITTED UPON SENORITA ROMERO — DEFENSELESS BOYS SHOT AND WOMEN VIOLATED. St. Louis, March 15.—A special from New York says that dispatches from Havana, sent via Key West, describe a series of horrible massacres perpetrated by Spanish soldiers. On March 10 in Havana province six small Cuban boys were not on the public road by a detachment of Spanish infantry, who shot and killed them. At Palmos de Pedroso the Spaniards shot fifteen non-combatants, among them being a man named Perdome, a Cuban by birth, but a naturized citizen of the United States. Ten days ago a detachment of Spanish troops entered the town of Artemisia. The women of the town were violated, and many young girls were carried off to the Spanish camp, where they were detained over night. Two of the girls committed suicide the next day. Two old men who protested against the outrages were shot. New York, March 16.—Despite the efforts of the Spanish connuls, Ministers and values. These tables exhibit some markable changes.

Horses it seems have been losing in its vital value ever since 1892. Males also lost in value but not so greatly. The other hand milch cows oxen and cattle are growing in value and sheep worth a little more each than last year while swine have about held their own price. There is however a great difference since 1893 in the total values. At that time the farmers had $2,483,500,681 worth of poultry in livestock. Today the figures baskern to $1,727,926,084 or a loss of $7580,597. The loss in the value of the horse is cribed to the introduction of trolley cable lines in place of horse cars and to biyoleo. Reports say that the breeding colts has been largely discontinued. The cause usually given for the decrease in number of sheep in various localities is In Odd Angeles, buy of the store.

New York, March 16.—Despite the efforts of the Spanish consuls, Ministers and spies in this country; in the face of the loss of the steamship J. W. Hawkins and the seizure by United States marshals of the steamship Bermuda, the Cubans in this vicinity have now upon the sea, bound for the island whose freedom is the one thought of their lives, that identical cargo of ammunition of the steamship. On another vessel it is understood are a lot more men who are to be transferred to the Bermuda on the high seas. The Bermuda left New York Monday morning. It was shortly after 8 o'clock when she got up her anchor, 10 o'clock when she passed Sandy Hook and about noon when she distanced the fleet of newspaper tugs that followed her to sea. The air was filled with rumors yesterday. Thomas Estrada Palma has disappeared from town and Calixto Garcia left his home early in the morning and had not returned at a late hour last night. The report was that they had sailed for and that it was the intention of the patriots to perfect the system of government in Cuba in order to induce a more substantial support from other countries, including the United States, than that of mere sympathy. The law of this country prohibited the vessel from loading her decks down to the water's edge with gunpower and arms for the insurgents in Cuba, and in all forty tons of ammunition and guns were placed on board the Bermuda and also several cases containing dynamite. Key West, March 16.—Before the steamships Bermuda, Three Friends and Commodore, each supposed to be carrying a filibustering expedition to Cuba, reach the island they will have to run the gauntlet of a number of Spanish warships now cruising off the east coast of Florida. Three days ago three Spanish war vessels appeared off the south beach of the island of Key West. For days the vessel hovered about apparently watching for filibustersers. Yesterday afternoon the Spanish Vice Consul went out to one of the vessels in a steam launch, and it is supposed gave the commander some information relative to the movements of the suspected steamers. The following statement relative to the alleged atrocities of Gen. Weyler of the Spanish troops in Cuba, is made by the secretary of the Cuban delegation. Manuel do la Cruise, the distinguished Cuban writer, who recently died in New York, left manuscripts for his history of the revolution of 1868-78. It cannot be argued that he invented for the sake of influencing any action in this country. The following was written many months ago, and was not intended to be used in the press: "During the last war Gen. Weyler did not distinguish himself by military exploits. As a soldier he was an obscure commander of a column. His operations were in the territories of Camagloy and Tumas. His reputation is based on his atrocities. His dance at Guaimaros is famous in Puerto Principe. He captured a number of ladies of the best society of this province. They were taken to the village of Guaimaro. Around a large bonfire in the center of the public square he placed the defenseless women. Ferocious hordes of angroos who composed the fourth company of his command were ordered to violently undress the prisoners. They played an African dance, and the unfortunate Cabana who refused to participate were whipped by Weyler himself. But even worse than the foregoing was the losses were trifling on both sides. It is now learned that the attack upon Sagua de Tamino reported as a Government victory resulted in the rebels capturing the town and using cannon in the bombardment. The insurgents in this province also have several field guns, supposed to have been taken from Spanish troops. HAVANA, Cuba, March (via Tampa, Fla., March 11).—The English ship Cayo Blanco, from Antwerp, arrived this morning. She is consigned to the Government, and has a full cargo of war stores. The transatlantic Spanish steamship Alfons XII arrived here yesterday. In addition to a large supply of war stores, she brought 254 cases containing $1,000,000 in silver for paying the troops. The steamship Cataluna has landed 330 cases of Spanish silver, valued at $1,000,000. MADRID, March 12.—By Atlantic Cable). At Corunna, 200 students belonging to the University joined in a parade yesterday and cheered for Spain. They burned the American flag. The police succeeded in preventing the rioters from approaching the United States Consulate. At Alicante, the Mayor and police, while disperasing a similar demonstration, were pelted with stones. Some policemen sustained injuries. PHILADELPHIA, March 12.—The vessel which is said to have left this port for Cuba a week ago to-day with arms and ammunition is reported to have landed safely on the island, and within six hours the entire cargo was placed in the hands of the insurgent agents. One of the leaders, who was instrumental in getting this vessel away, in speaking of it said; "So far as we have been able to learn, the ship with the munitions of war arrived in Cuba on Sunday, and got away all right. If she had not done so we certainly would have had an elaborate report of her seizure or any other complications that would affect the prize. There were not many men aboard, only enough to handle the cargo and look after it properly. The ship cleared from here for Jamaica, and after stopping at Cuba sailed immediately for Jamaica, from which place she will again come to Philadelphia with a cargo, and be ready for another trip down with arms." "What about last night's expedition?" "The only thing that I can say is that the ship used is now on its way south. But as to who is in command of her or her name I cannot say. Besides carrying thirty-three men, she carried a number of machine guns, cannon, about 1,000,000 rounds of ammunition and a large quantity of improved rifles and machotes. We have plenty of men down there at present. What we really need is arms and money, and these are coming along at a fairly good rate." "Should this ship escape the United States revenue outliers, acting in concert with the Spanish cruisers, and get her load of war material safely landed, it will put the armies of Gomez and Macoo in a remarkably good fighting condition so far as equipment goes. As to discipline and field and skirmish drill, the Cuban troops have no equal." THE NATIONAL GUARD. UNPARALLELED STRENGTH OF THE UNITED STATES AVAILABLE IN CASE OF WAR—NINE MILLION MEN IN SIGHT. WASHINGTON, March 14.—According to a report on the organized militia of the United States, which has just been prepared by the War Department, the United States, in case of need, can put 9,467,694 men in the field. At the close of the year 1895 every State and Territory, with the exception of the Inland Territory and Alaska, had an organized national guard. The total force of militia numbers 115,669, of which 102,604 compose the infantry, 5,525 the cavalry, 5,267 the artillery, 549 the special corps and 1,443 generals and staff officers. The total approvals value ever since 1892. Males also lost in value, but not so greatly. The other hand, milch cows, oxen and other cattle are growing in value, and sheep worth a little more each than last year while swine have held their own price. There is however, a great difference since 1893 in the total values. At that time the farmers had $2,483,506,681 worth of property in live stock. Today the figures have shrunk to $1,727,926,084, or a low of $758,597. The loss in the value of the horse is obribed to the introduction of trolley cable lines in place of horse cars and to bioboyle. Reports say that the breeding colts has been largely discontinued. The cause usually given for the decrease in number of sheep in various localities is low price of wool, but scarcity of feed as also frequently mentioned as helping to cool them. The loss crop for 1953 showed over 700 pounds an increase at 11,690,615 pounds over the 1894 crop. The larger yield from a smaller number of sheep is ascribed to extreme cold of the winter of a year forcing the sheep to grow a thicker coat. SCIONS OF THE ANCIENTS. THE ABYSSINIANS ARE NOW SUDDENLY SPRINGING BACK TO WEALTH AND POWER. It is not alone in Italy that great danger has been regarded as a grave and portentous event. Every European power which has joined plunderedthe African continent sees it warning Italy has made fatal mistake of treating them as such. They are the scions of this highest civilization of the ancients now suddenly springing back into life and power King Menelek is a wise man and a general. His queen is a marvel among men. His soldiers possess not only a defense perhaps a fanatical courage，但but are trained in use of modern arms,and in modern science of war. The Abysinians are better equipped in many respects than their Italianes. They have been quietly preparing for this crisis in their fate for a long time.The explorer who big Crisipi and his Calico not consulted was probably right when he said that allthe military resources of Italy would not be sufficient to conquer Abysinias.The Abysinians have systematized their supply of provisions with greater skill and precision than any country in Europe can boast.except perhaps,Germany.The war correspondents with Menelek's forces speak in enthusiastic terms of their equipment and discipline. It will surprise many people to learn that European newspaper correspondents date venture among these native soldiers.The truth is Menelek treatsthe European not combatants far better than dothe Italian commanders.Correspondents who told them have been driven from Italian camp King Menelek receives them courteously and provides them with liberal accommodation at his headquarters.

Weyler did not distinguish himself by military exploits. As a soldier he was an obscure commander of a column. His operations were in the territories of Camagley and Tumas. His reputation is based on his atrocities. His dance at Guaimaros is famous in Pacero Principe. He captured a number of ladies of the best society of this province. They were taken to the village of Guaimaro. Around a large bonfire in the center of the public square he placed the defenseless women. Ferocious hordes of nigroes who composed the fourth company of his command were ordered to violently undress the prisoners. They played an African dance, and the unfortunate Cubans who refused to participate were whipped by Weyler himself. But even worse than the foregoing was the crime committed by Weyler on Senorita Romero. She was captured with her mother. Weyler ordered the latter to propose to her daughter the sacrifice to him of her honor. The distracted mother, under threats of death, entreated in vain with the young woman. Weyler offered this alternative: The senorita must choose between him and the black soldiers of the already famous and sadly-celebrated Fourth Company. Senorita Romero did not waver. She indignantly exclaimed: 'Between you, monster, and the Fourth Company, I do not hesitate. Give me up to the Fourth Company.'' A Washington special referring to this statement adds: 'Can Mr. Dupuy DeLome or Weyler deny this when Cruse solemnly declares: In 1889, in a house at Neuvitas, thin and emaciated as a specter, her hair white, a complete wreck, and idiot, I saw the sad victim of that infamy.' New York, March 12.—Col. Perez, chief of staff of Gen. Maceo of Cuba, is in this city on a secret mission. He will return to Cuba in a few days. In an interview he said: 'When I left Cuba Gen. Gomez and Gen. Maceo were very well satisfied with the conditions existing and hoped to be able to do something more decisive in the near future. The raid through the central provinces brought good results. The Cubans gained arms, ammunition and men. Many Spanish volunteers have taken the field with them. In the eastern part of the island over 1,000 Spanish soldiers have deserted to the Cubans. Since then there has been a reorganization and some changes. Maceo and Gomez were about to unite their forces again. They now have an army of about 25,000 men in the central provinces. The Cubans have throughout the island about 60,000 armed men and about 40,000 partially armed. Of the armed men about one-third are cavalry, who have plenty of good horses. The Spanish mounted infantry are no match for them. Many of the Spaniards are not able to ride, and when they charge they cling with both hands to the pommels of their saddles and do not control their horses. Since Gen. Weyler took control, the Spaniards have done nothing. They have a great many flying columns in the field, but they are always at the rear-guard, following along and never by any chance coming in contact with the vanguard. That is the reason that Gen. Maceo was able to pass from Pinar del Rio to Havana without firing a shot, though the Spanish army marched through the region. I was in the Ten Year's War and saw the Spanlards fight like dem-' CASE OF WAR—NINE MILLION MEN IN SIGHT, WASHINGTON, March 14.—According to a report on the organized militia of the United States, which has just been prepared by the War Department, the United States, in case of need, can put 9,467,694 men in the field. At the close of the year 1895 every State and Territory, with the exception of In Indian Territory and Alaska, had an organized national guard. The total force of militia numbers 115,669, of which 102,604 compose the infantry, 5,525 the cavalry, 5,267 the artillery, 549 the special corps and 1,443 generals and staff officers. The total appropriation allowed the militia by the government amounts to $400,000, while the States, during the same period, spent $2,834,976 on these organizations. It is estimated that mobilization of the militia could be effected in the different States and Territories in from three hours in the District of Columbia to seventy-two hours in Oregon, other State organizations assembling between these two periods. New York is far ahead in regard to the number of enlisted men, its strength amounting to 12,901 officers and men; Pennsylvania is second, with 8,482; Ohio third, with 6,493; Illinois fourth, with 6,226; California seventh, with 4,364; Texas thirteenth, with 3,000; Iowa seventeenth, with 2,399; Oregon twenty-fourth, with 1,530; Washington thirty-first, with 1,184; Arizona forty-fourth, with 500; New Mexico forty-fifth, with 470; Nevada forty-seventh, with 439; while Oklahoma winds up the list with 153. It is estimated that in case of necessity, Illinois could place 852,562 men in the field; Pennsylvania comes next and Ohio third; New York, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and Massachusetts follow in the order named. In about two-thirds of the States, the publication says, the militia is armed with Springfield rifles and carbines of various patterns. A number of the militia regiments are provided with Galling guns and 3.3 inch breech-loading rifles, but a large proportion of the artillery armament consists of twelve-pound Napoleons, three-inch muzzle-loading Napoleons, parrot rifles and other obsolete ordnance. The aggregate of small arms and ammunition held in reserve, in addition to that in the hands of the troops, is not far from 3,000,000 rounds. States having Galling-gun batteries keep on hand a limited supply of ammunition for these guns. The supply for field-guns is very limited, and the quality by no means best. LIVESTOCK OFFARMERS A DECREASE IN VALUE OF $758,000,-000 SINCE 1893 ACCORDING TO OFFICIAL REPORTS. The United States Department of Agriculture has just issued a statement regarding the number and value of domestic animals on the farms of the country, with tables showing the fluctuations in both numbers. When Baby was sick we gave her Castoria. When she was a Child she cried for Castoria. When she became Miss she clung to Castoria. When she had Children she gave them Castoria. Chief Justice Fuller of the United States Supreme Court on Monday handed down decision in the case of the people of the State of California against the Central Pacific officio and Southern Pacific railroad companies involving the right of the State to tax their franchises that were derived from the national government, as well as from the State authorities, and were insuperable. The court decided against this view holding that railroad companies owe their existence a corporation to the State, and are subject to the state laws in respect to taxation. The Chief Justice said the State franchises never have been merged in Federal franchises,and they were as legitimately subject to taxation as the roadbeds of the companies.Justice Field read a dissenting opinion. He said that position taken in the majority opinion was absurd and untenable. How to Care Rheumatism.

The drive will come off next Saturday, and people have promised to come from all quarters to participate in it. Rabbities are unusually numerous on the vacant lands west and south of Fresno, and are doing considerable damage. The Democratic State Convention will meet at Sacramento June 20th. The capital city had practically no opposition for the honor, at the meeting of the State Central Committee at Sacramento on Saturday, both Los Angeles and Stockton withdrawing from the struggle, although W. R. Burke gave notice in open meeting that two years hence the southern metropolis would claim the big gathering, which will at that time nominate a complete State ticket. His sentiments were endorsed by heart applause in which nearly every delegate joined. It is reported that a number of Eastern sugar refineries will shut down in a few days, but John A. Searles, treasurer of the Sugar Trust, says that there is no special significance in this. Times are dull and prices may be reduced again. The Cuban controversy in Congress is giving the Sugar Trust some concern. If the belligerency of the insurgents is recognized the trust may be cut off from receiving supplies from that source for an indeterminate date if the debate retires. The reason given by the army department for his intended retirement is that the lieutenant's medical record shows an unusual amount of illness. It tells of nervousness, bysteria, muscular affection of the eyes and other things. Lang appeared before the board, and was put through an examination lasting three hours. The report of the board will be sent to the Secretary of War who will lay the recommendation before the President. He will decide whether or not Lang shall be retired. If Lang is retired he will be placed on half pay. His friends aver that he had a brilliant future before him in the army, only for his marriage and his consequent ostracism in army social circles. The Pope Manufacturing Company's building in Boston was completely gutted by fire, necessitating a general alarm, shortly before 4 Friday morning last, causing a loss of between $350,000 and $400,000. The block was a magnificent five-story structure of brick, profusely ornamented with terra cotta trimming. The blaze started in the boiler room in the basement, and spread so rapidly that four ladies and two gentlemen who were taking riding lessons on the fifth floor had barely time to escape. R. W. Hinckley, private secretary to Albert A. Pope, and the janitor, W. P. Preston, were hemmed in by smoke and fire on the second floor, but made their escape by ladders. In the building were thirty-five or forty people, but they all got out without injury. The contents, which were completely ruined, consisted of 1,700 new bicycles, 175 second-hand wheels, and about 20,000 pieces of bicycle fittings, besides several thousand tires. The Youth's Companion building, one of the most imposing structures in the city, which is separated from the burned building by a fifteen-foot alley, and the Hoffman House, a seven-story apartment house across the street, were thoroughly drenched. The Hoffman House was for an hour in great danger, as a strong northwest wind carried the flames nearly half way across the avenue. Loss to both buildings by water will aggregate $10,000. The fire was practically under control by 5 o'clock, but it was hours before it was entirely subdued. The Pope company has a loss on its stock and fixtures, conservatively estimated, of $150,000 and $200,000 on the building. The insurance on the building, which was placed in twenty-six com- ONS OF THE ANCIENTS. YUSSIANIANS ARE NOW SUDDENLY MINGING BACK TO WEALTH AND POWER. It alone in Italy that the great disgust Gen.

The Pope company has a loss on its stock and fixtures, conservatively estimated, of $150,000 and $200,000 on the building. The insurance on the building, which was placed in twenty-six companies, was $135,000; on the stock and fixtures, $73,000. In the case of Joseph Yook va. the Home Mutual Insurance company, a decision which has lately been handed down by the Supreme Court, an interesting point regarding the storage and use of gasoline is involved. The defendant issued its policy of insurance for $4,000 to Mrs. W.H. Brooks, the assignor of plaintiff upon a frame building at Santa Ana which was used as a country store, and also upon the household furniture and stock of merchandise," such as is usually kept in country stores." The property was destroyed by fire, and when a claim was put in for the insurance defendant refused payment. It was contended that the insured kept upon the premises gasoline for sale, in violation of the terms of the policy, and also that misrepresentations were made regarding the building. Plaintiff won in the trial court and an appeal was taken. In affirming the judgment the supreme court says: "When the defendant agreed to insure a stock of merchandise 'such as is usually kept in country stores' it must be presumed to have the character of the merchandise which is usually kept in country stores in mind, and that gasoline was one of these articles, and consequently, that its policy covered all such merchandise. When it was shown that gasoline is one of the articles usually kept in country stores, the court correctly held that it was a part of the subject of the insurance, and that the insured did not violate the policy by keeping it in stock." The misrepresentation of the building complained of was the allegation in application for insurance that the building contained less than fifteen rooms, when in reality it contained twenty. It developed during the trial that the statement was inserted in the application by the agent of defendant from information obtained at his own instance, thus relieving the insured from responsibility. Judgment and order are affirmed by Justice Harrison. Justices Garroute and Van Fleet concurring. Representative Linton of Michigan, A. P. A. leader of the House, received some days ago a letter from Capt. Thomas Phelan of Kansas City, the well-known Irish agitator, challenging him to fight a duel, the challenge being preceded by a long deunciation of Linton's course in opposing church school appropriations and to placing the statue of Father Marquette in the Capitol. Linton paid no attention to the denunciation. When he was asked if he had made any reply to the challenge, he said: "Ever since the House defeated the appropriations for sectarian institutions in the District of Columbia bill, partly through my efforts, my mail has been loaded every day with great numbers of letters from religious cranks denouncing me violently, threatening dire vengeance, and death, in various forms. All of these letters I have thrown in the waste-basket. There have been so many that there was not time to read them all, and I have paid no attention to any of them. This letter from Phelan was one of them, and I suppose went into the waste-basket with the others. I had forgotten the letter, nor did I think who Phelan was until the letter and a sketch of his career was printed in the papers. Since publicity has been given to it I may conclude to make some reply—not so much to Phelan as to the fantastic spirit which he represents. Of course fighting duels is not in my view.

Justice Fuller of the United States Court on Monday handed down a case of the people of California against the Central Pacific railroad companies, the right of the State to tax that were derived from the navaliment, as well as from the State and were inseparable. The company owe their existence as to the State, and are subject to laws in respect to taxation. The judge said the State franchises never emerged in Federal franchises, and was legitimately subject to taxation beds of the companies. Justice a dissenting opinion. He said the court in the majority opinion was untenable.

Rumor of the sale of the Chine ranch is again revived. It is said a party of English capitalists are on their way out from London, with $2,500,000 with which to purchase the ranch, comprising 40,000 acres. Negotiations for the purchase of the ranch began in August last, when a syndicate of Bortenians was said to have offered to purchase 20,000 acres of land at $90 an acre. At this time Easton & Eldridge had an option on the property for $1,600,000, and were negotiating with an English syndicate for the sale at $2,500,000. A.W.Morgan, a London chartered accountant, was sent as an expert of the syndicate to report upon the project, and his report proving satisfactory, the syndicate took an option upon the property at the price stated. The option will expire March 26, and the members and representatives of the syndicate are hastening out to complete the purchase before that time. It is the intention of the purchasers to colonize the tract with families from England and to devote it to the cultivation of sugar beets. Ten thousand acres of ranch land have been planted to beests this year, and the crop contracted to the Chino sugar factory, which plant belongs to the trust and is not included in the deal. "White Hat" McCarthy's financial difficulties have reached a crisis. The horseman was engaged in discussing a cracked crab and a cold bottle in the grill room of the Palace Hotel in San Francisco when R.B.Purvis, Stanislaus county, walked in and placed the heavy hand of the law on his shoulder. The Sheriff was provided with a warrant for McCarthy's arrest on a charge of cruelty to animals, and he also had a warrant for the arrest of the latter's son, Joseph McCarthy, on a similar charge. McCarthy and his son put up bonds rather than spend a night in the city prison, and will accompany Sheriff Purvis to Modesto. Sheriff Purvis says that just before he left Modesto a gentleman drove to McCarthy's ranch to look at the animals and returned with the information that he saw twenty-five of the band lying dead in the field. "White Hat" McCarthy went to Canny ranch to look after his starving horses. He put 294 horses, costing from $300 to $4,000 each, in the pasture. He found thirty-four dead and three on the ground just alive. Among the latter was Crescent, one of the most valuable of the lot. McCarthy gave the animals food and water, and says Canty has agreed to feed them. McCarthy says he will prosecute Canty. He says he has $300,000 invested in the horses. Two years ago Clarence Lang was graduated from West Point, one of the brightest men in his class. He violated the army traditions by marrying the daughter of a common soldier an hour after his graduation, and as a result of this, his friends say, decided to appear before the army retiring board of the Department of the East at Governor's Island to be examined with a view to his retirement. Lang is now a lieutenant of the Second Artillery, but life has been made so utterly unbearable for him that he desires to sectorian institutions in the District of Columbia bill, partly through my efforts, my mail has been loaded every day with great numbers of letters from religious cranks denouncing me violently, threatening dire vengeance, and death, in various forms. All of these letters I have thrown in the waste-basket. There have been so many that there was not time to read them all, and I have paid no attention to any of them. This letter from Phelan was one of them, and I suppose went into the waste-basket with the others. I had forgotten the letter; nor did I think who Phelan was until the letter and a sketch of his career was printed in the papers. Since publicity has been given to it I may conclude to make some reply—not so much to Phelan as to the fanatic spirit which he represents. Of course fighting duels is not in my line. That sort of performance is considered rather ridiculous by Americans of this generation. The threats which I have received from cranks have not alarmed me in the least, and I would have preferred that no publicity be given to them. I am not an enemy of the church, but I am unalterably opposed to government appropriations to assist sectarian work and to any sort of union of obchorn and State, and shall continue to oppose them." Capt. Phelan is represented as a celebrated broadwordman and a Fonician. A few years ago he was stabbed, in a row at O'Donovan Rossa's office in New York. In the fall of 1893 a son of Mr. T.A. McFarland, a prominent merchant of Live Oak, Sutter co., Cal., was taken with a very heavy cold. The pains in his chest were so severe that he had spasms and was threatened with pneumonia. His father gave him several large doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy which broke up the cough and cured him. Mr. McFarland says whenever his children have croup he invariably gives them Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and it always cures them. He considers it the best cough remedy in the market.
