A CUBAN FILIBUSTERER HAS AN EXCITING RACE WITH A CRUISER WHICH GIVES CHASE AND FIRES. Chicago, June 4 — A special from Jacksonville, Fla., says: After a thrilling voyage, during which she was chased and fired upon by a Spanish orniser, the filibustering steamer Three Friends reached this port after landing more than 100 men and a large cargo of arms and ammunition in Cuba. The landing was made on the night of May 29, west of Trinidad, on the southern coast of Santa Clara province. The men and ammunition were received by a strong detachment from General La Cret's column and there was not a Spaniard in sight to interfere. On the day before the landing, May 28, occurred the most exciting incident of the voyage. The filibusterer was off the coast of Cuba, waiting for signals from the shore when a Spanish warship hove in sight and gave chase. There was nothing to do but to run, and the Three Friends stood for the open sea, with the Spaniard in hot chase. Through a glass, Captain Broward, in command of the Three Friends, watched the Spaniard. The warship was evidently crowding on steam, for a black cloud of smoke came from her A RIGHTEOUS VETO. THE PRESIDENT VETOES THE GENERAL DEFICIENCY BILL, CARRYING A LARGE APPROPRIATION FOR THE FRENCH SPOLIATION CLAIMS. WASHINGTON, June 6. — President Cleveland to day sent a message to the House, vetoing the General Deficiency Bill. The message includes a defense of the exercise of the veto power and a long criticism of the French epilation claims, aggregating over $1,000,000, also an objection to the payment of the Chouteau claim for $174,445, arising out of the construction of the iron-clad battery Etlah. In his message accompanying the veto President Cleveland says in defending the exercise of the veto power: "The unpleasant incidents which accompany the power would tempt its avoidance if such a course did not involve an abandonment of constitutional duty and assent to legislation for which the executive is not willing to share the responsibility." He continues: "This bill is in many of its features far removed from a legitimate deficiency bill, and it contains a number of appropriations which seem to be exceedingly questionable. Without noticing in detail many of these items, I shall refer to two of them which, in my judgment, justify my action in the premises. "The bill appropriates $1,027,314 09 for a partial payment upon claims which originated in the depredations upon our commerce by French cruisers and vessels during the closing year of the last century. They have been quite familiar to those having Congressional experience, as they have been pressed for recognition and payment, with occasional intervals of repose, for nearly one hundred years. Those claims are based upon the allegations that France, being at war with England, seized and condemned many American vessels and cargoes in violation of the rules of international law and treaty provisions and contrary to the duty she owed to our country as a neutral power and to our citizens; that by reason of these said the legs that came through from were those of a man—a real man, vestigation disclosed that the intruder contracting plumber, who had entered garret to make certain measurements sary to a bid, and had slipped and upon the steel laths with sufficient force break them. Miss Hawell, the second was slightly injured by the fall of plaster." EXPORTS OF CATTLERS. THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT MAKES FORMAL PROTEST AGAINST TALLIORY ACTION BY THIS VERNMENT. WASHINGTON, June 4. — The French government has made a formal protest against the retaliatory action of this government putting an absolute embargo on cattle. A recent Associated Press dig from Havre announced that the States Consul had refused to permit a moment of five French cattle to the States. This rigid enforcement of the bibition of importation of meat cattle hides from countries infected with diseases, including France, Germany Switzerland, which is provided for in tariff act of 1894, but was not invoked seven months ago when a proclamation the subject was issued, is directly due aggressive policy of countries like France Germany in endeavoring on one pret another to exclude American cattle meats. The effect of the proclamation, which suance has just attracted general attention has been the complete stoppage of shale cattle from France and Germany ever last November, but it was not until秋停了 shipment from Havre weeks ago that French shippers away to the fact. The French Foreign Office upon communicated with Ambassador notre on the subject, and an attaché embassy here promptly called at the cultural Department and made inquiry to the condition of affairs and actuality of shippers. Then the Ambassador THE PROMISE COST $12,000. MISS MYHILL RECOVERS DAMAGES FROM AN AGED BUT UNFAITHFUL MILLIONAIRE BACHELOR. MEDINA, N. Y., May 30.—The jury in the suit of Miss Carry Myhill against Edgar Z. Pells for breach of promise of marriage, brought in a verdict just before court adjourned, awarding the young woman $12,000 damages. Miss Myhill said that she had known Pells for many years, he living in this county during his early life, but that it was not until 1887 or 1888 that he began to pay her marked attention. He joked of marriage at that time, but later told her that he had no desire to marry a rich wife, that he had money enough, that his wife could ride through ten miles of her own land in a direct line to Michigan, and he wanted her for his wife. She accepted and the memory of the way the fifty-year-old millionaire bachelor throw his arms around her and said "You are mine, mine; all mine," affected her so deeply as she told it that she broke down on the stand and wept. He told her he must not teach school any more, that he would give her money for expenses. He did not want his future wife to work. Then followed a long story of attentions, gifts, visits, excursions and the like until 1894, when his visits suddenly ceased, with the wedding day is still unnamed. Pells, in his testimony, admitted their intimacy, but denied any thought of marriage. He is reputed to be worth $1,250,000, and although he has large interests here, makes many of these items into the contemplation of the insurers. The bill appropriates $1,027,314.09 for a partial payment upon claims which originated in the depredations upon our commerce by French cruisers and vessels during the closing year of the last century. They have been quite familiar to those having Congressional experience, as they have been pressed for recognition and payment, with occasional intervals of repose, for nearly one hundred years. Those claims are based upon the allegations that France, being at war with England, seized and condemned many American vessels and cargoes in violation of the rules of international law and treaty provisions and contrary to the duty she owed to our country as a neutral power and to our citizens; that by reason of these acts, claims arose for such of our citizens as were damnified against the French nation, which claims our government attempted to enforce, and that, in concluding a treaty with France in the year 1800, these claims were abandoned or relinquished in consideration of the reliquishment of certain claims which France charged against us. "Upon these statements it is instated by those interested that we, as a nation, have reaped a benefit in our escape from these French demands against us, through the abatement of claims of our citizens against France, the government being equally bound between itself and its citizens to pay the claims thus relinquished. "I do not understand it to be asserted that there exists any legal liability against the government on account of its relations to these claims. At the term of the Supreme Court just finished the Chief Justice, in an opinion concerning them and the action of Congress in appropriating their payment, said: 'We think that the payments thus prescribed to be made were purposely brought within the category of payments by way of gratuity — payments of grace and not of right.'" The President enters into the history of the efforts to secure payment of the claims, tracing it from 1802, when the first bill was introduced. He says: "Until 1846 there claims were from time to time pressed upon the attention of Congress with varying fortune, but never with favorable action. In that year, however, a bill was passed for their ascertainment and satisfaction, and $5,000,000 was appropriated for their payment. This bill was vetoed by President Polk, who declared that he could 'perceive no legal or equitable grounds upon which this appropriation can rest.' This veto was sustained by the House of Representatives. "Many years afterward, in 1854, a bill passed similar to the one last mentioned and appropriating for these claims a like sum of money. This bill was also vetoed, President Pierce concluding a thorough discussion of its merits with these words: 'In view of what has been said there would seem to be no ground on which to base a liability of the United States unless it be the assumption that the United States is to be considered securer and the guarantor of American claims of whatever nature its individual citizens may have against a foreign nation.'" "This veto was also sustained in the House of Representatives. I think it will be found that in all bills proposed for the payment of these claims, the sum to be appriated for that purpose did not exceed five million dollars. It is now estimated that those already passed upon, with those still pending for examination in the Court of Claims may amount to $25,000,000. This indicates either that the actual sufferers or those nearer to them in ties of blood than the present claimants underestimated their losses, or that there has been a great development in the manner of their presentation." "In the long list of beneficiaries who are provided for in the bill now before me, on account of these claims, 152 represent the owners of the sails and their cargoes, and 186 are those who lost as insurers of such vessels or cargoes. Premiums secured on these policies were large, and the losses were precisely those within the contemplation of the insurers." The effect of the proclamation, which haunces has just attracted general attention from France and Germany over last November, but it was not until our stopped a shipment from Havre ago, that French shippers awoke to the fact. The French Foreign Office communicated with Ambassador notre on the subject, and an attaché embassy here promptly called at the cultural Department and made inquiry to the condition of affairs and actual shippers. Then the Ambassador communication with the Secretary owe in which he asked a number of questions and inquired why France should be disposed against.

She buys for cash and giving her customers the bening goods or answering questions Taken in Exchange SUGAR AND SUGAR BEETS. Beet lands in Prussia rent from $10 to $15 per acre. The acreage in sugar beets in Germany has been increased from 10 to 15 per cent. France and Germany have a surplus sugar stock that will offset the Cuban loss. In 1895 Europe had 2,928,856 acres in sugar beets, and the production was 4,000-000 tons of raw sugar, about 1½ tons per acre. The repairing and cleaning work at the Chino factory is practically over for the season, and it is announced that the factory will start up about July 15th. It is expected that the Watsonville factory will start up before the end of July. There is a large force of employees at work there getting machinery in shape and making improvements for the next campaign. In Holland some of the factories are being run on the profit sharing plan. There is no profit sharing where the beets show 12 per cent or less of sugar. $3 50 per ton is the base price. On beets showing above a certain percentage there is a division of profit between the factory and farmer after the milling cost has been paid. The U. S. Supreme Court has decided that payments must be made under the bounty set aside by Controller Bowler and that payments will have to be made for the year 1894 as provided by Congressional enactment. The sugar manufacturers of this State have claims for $365,012 filed, but as the total amount of claims is in excess of the Congressional appropriation all the claims will have to be scaled about 25 per cent. Extensive improvements are being made at the Watsonville beet factory. New brick walls have been put in, iron girders have replaced wooden ones, concrete floors are to be put in, two new powerful engines have been added to the equipment, and the electric light plant is going to be made as effective as it is possible to make it. pricked for that purpose did not exceed five million dollars. It is now estimated that those already passed upon, with those still pending for examination in the Court of Claims may amount to $25,000,000. This indicates either that the actual sufferers or those nearer to them in ties of blood than the present claimants underestimated their losses, or that there has been a great development in the manner of their presentation. "In the long list of beneficiaries who are provided for in the bill now before me, on account of these claims, 152 represent the owners of the abips and their cargoes, and 186 are those who lost as insurers of such vessels or cargoes. Premium secured on these policies were large, and the losses were precisely those within the contemplation of the insurers. "Appropriations to indemnify against insurance losses rest upon weaker grounds, it seems to me, than those of owners. But in the light of all the facts and circumstances surrounding these claims, as they are called, none of them, in my opinion, should be paid by the government." IT WAS ONLY A MAN. WOMEN SCREAM AND RUN FRIGHTENED FROM A ROOM AT OBSERVING HIM DESCEND LEGS FIRST THROUGH THE CEILING. SAN FRANCISCO, June 4.—Twenty women screamed, forty hands were raised in fright, a score of faces blanched, as many skirts were lifted, and pretty heels patterned in the corridor of the new city hall yesterday afternoon, as the board of directors of the Teachers' Mutual Aid Society suddenly adjourned in confusion, and it was all due to the sudden and unexpected intrusion of a man. He made his appearance through the ceiling. The first indication of his presence came when Miss Nellie C. Haswell, secretary of the society, busy counting dues paid her, was overwhelmed by a yard or two of plaster dropping upon her. The nineteen pairs of eyes that had been intent upon her while she was counting were lifted upward. There, dangling from the ceiling, were two kicking, struggling extremities that manifestly belonged to a man. That was enough. One hand of each of those present flew involuntarily to the eyes, the other to the skirts. There was a sourrying of heels and a swish of dresses, and the room was soon emptied. Presently courage returned to a few of the bolder spirits, and a cautious entry was made, but the man was gone. One of the directors, with a triumphant about, drew from the wreckage that littered the floor, an old shoe, and, raising it triumphantly over her head, exclaimed: "Ha, ha! Here is a clew." The president of the board regained her presence of mind and declared that the intruder was only a boy, a little boy—she was certain of that, as he had on knee breeches. But the others gravely disputed her, and anniversary to pass without any recognition. The question as to method of reminding the President Cleveland that they recalled the hail of ten years ago, however, puzzled not Ministers. Several secret conferences were the residence of the Secretary of C was decided that tin offerings would cheap and commonplace to tender dent and his wife, but on the other conclusion was reached that it would all the rules of etiquette to make of greater intrinsic value than time; most embarrassing features offerences was the fact that Presidente land, in his tariff advice to Congress party had found tin to be very serious annoyance of his project. Secretary Morton solved the problem his peregrinations through Washington its suburbs he had discovered at the ancient burg of Georgetown really artistic in his work. At the end of the official head of the agriculture terests of the country it was decided a complimentary address to Presidency land and a congratulatory message Cleveland inscribed on a plate of gold.

WASHINGTON, June 4.—The French government has made a formal protest against the establishment of an absolute embargo on French cattle. A recent Associated Press dispatch Havre announced that the United Consul had refused to permit a ship of five French cattle to the United States. This rigid enforcement of the proclamation of importation of meat cattle and from countries infected with cattle diseases, including France, Germany and Norway, which is provided for in the old act of 1894, but was not invoked until two months ago when a proclamation on subject was issued, is directly due to the passive policy of countries like France and many in endeavoring on one pretext or other to exclude American cattle and effect of the proclamation, whose issue has just attracted general attention, since the complete stoppage of shipping from France and Germany ever since November, but it was not until our Convicted shipment from Havre a few days ago, that French shippers awakened to fact. The French Foreign Office there-communicated with Ambassador Pate on the subject, and an attaché of the Agency here promptly called at the General Department and made inquiries as to condition of affairs and actual rights of shippers. Then the Ambassador filed a motion would be illustrated by apparatus which he would furnish. The course was to cost each member of the class $20, and nearly all the pupils deposited notes in the bank, which have since been paid, about $1,200 in all. Chief Engineer Nissley of the Los Angeles Railway Company was engaged as teacher of the class. Among the members was E. M. Wade, the sugar-beet chemist, who says: "Hernaby, who organized the class, is gone and all of his promises have been broken. The only apparatus we received was a little box of gewgaws. Mr. Nissley has been lecturing to the class and he has not been paid for his work. We have had a good deal of spicy correspondence with the National Electrical School in Chicago, but are unable to get them to send us any apparatus to carry out the promises of this agent. We understand he is working the same scheme in other places." CONFIDENT CLAIMS OF SILVER LEADERS. A TWO-THIRDS MAJORITY AT THE CHICAGO CONVENTION—NOTHING CAN PREVENT THE DEMOCRACY FROM DECLARING FOR FREE COINAGE. WASHINGTON, June 6.—The Democratic free silver managers now claim with great confidence that they will be able to muster at Chicago a clear two-thirds majority for free silver, thus doing away with any necessity for the time-honored two-thirds rule for nomination for Presidential candidates. It is now understood that the Territories and the District of Columbia will each be allowed six delegates in the convention. If this is done it will make a total membership of 922, of which 462 will be a majority and 616 a two-thirds majority. These are the figures which they have prepared. Up to date silver delegates directly or by unit rule have been chosen as follows: Alabama ... 22 Oregon ... 8 Colorado ... 8 South Carolina ... 18 Iowa ... 26 Tennessee ... 24 Kansas ... 18 Utah ... 6 Kentucky ... 26 Virginia ... 24 Mississippi ... 18 Washington ... 5 Missouri ... 54 Wyoming ... 6 Nebraska ... 6 Indian Territory SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS The most exciting school election held in Merced for many years was held there Friday. Dr. L. H. Bradley (Pop.) and W. H. Turner (Rep.) were the candidates. Three hundred and thirty votes were cast, each candidate receiving 165. A new election will be held. The public debt statement issued June 1 shows a net increase in the public debt, less cash in the treasury during May, of $5,188,730 04. The interest bearing debt increased $3,176,450; the non-interest bearing debt decreased $885,170, and cash in the treasury decreased $2,897,450 04. This is the largest monthly increase in the public debt for years. Mrs. James Reynolds, the wife of a Los Angeles police officer, was arrested at Santa Ana on Saturday on a charge of grand larceny. Mrs. Reynolds prevailed upon her husband to allow her to go to Denver to visit her aged mother. Reynolds consented, drew his month's salary and turned it over to her. Preparations were made for the trip and on Wednesday last she left. She only went as far as Sangus, when she back-tracked through Los Angeles as far as Santa Ana. She sent a message to San Bernardino to a man named Scott asking him to join her. She was taken back on a warrant charging her with grand larceny. Robert Eastham, a Yolo county painter, met with an accident at Woodland that came near costing him his life. He was painting the interior of a large water tank when an explosion occurred, which burnt him budly from his knees to the top of his head. He had lit a candle to see how the paint was drying, when the turpentine in the paint ignited, causing the explosion. He was lifted from the tank, and a couple of buckets of water dashed upon him extinguished his burning clothes. He was carried to his home and is now in a very precarious condition. Jose Mascarel, the well-known Los Angeles capitalist, who is aged 80 years, and Maria Jesus Benito Feliz, aged 60 years, were married on Thursday after living together for thirty years. The couple have several grown up children. On Thursday Mrs. Mascarel was taken seriously ill, and it was then determined to have the ceremony performed. J. P. Goytino, a son-in-law, tried to stop the marriage and served a notice The effect of the proclamation, whose issue has just attracted general attention, is that the complete stoppage of shipping from France and Germany over November, but it was not until our Contempted shipment from Havre a few years ago, that French shippers awakened to fact. The French Foreign Office there communicated with Ambassador Pate on the subject, and an attack of the navy here promptly called at the Agricultural Department and made inquiries as to the condition of affairs and actual rights slippers. Then the Ambassador filed a communication with the Secretary of State which he asked a number of questions, enquired why France should be discriminatory against. The letter was forwarded to Secretary of Agriculture Morton, and the letter has just transmitted his reply through Secretary Olney. This letter Secretary Morton cites the governing the subject, and says the means of permitting the importation of country from which the Ambassador predicted by special action of the President authorizing the suspension of the provision on satisfactory evidence of imminent of the country from cattle disease. Also incloses a copy of the President's extension proclamation which authorizes entry of cattle only from Norway, Sweden, Ireland, the Channel Islands and the countries of North, Central South America. Secretary Morton concludes with some serious statements showing the leniency carried on foreign shippers by our regulations. France alone has been regarded by cultural officials here as among the countries worst affected with contagious diseases, the percentage of stock affected being regarded as unusually high. Despite however, the United States undoubtedly would permit the entry of French cattle or a rigid inspection system if France would make a similar concession to the United States. ROVER'STINWEDDING THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE PRESIDENT'S MARRIAGE REMEMBERED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE CABINET. WASHINGTON, June 2.—The President has married ten years to-day. He was enched to the celebration of his tin wedding, so he was preparing to send his family Buzzard's Bay he advised his friends to get public notice of the occasion. During the foremonon Mrs. Cleveland and children, attended by the governess, the maids and the maids, came in from Woodland and re-established themselves at the White House, preparatory to migrating to seashore. The members of the Cabinet, ever due consideration, concluded that it would be remiss on their part to permit the anniversary to pass without any sort of cognition. The question as to the best method of reminding the President and Mrs. Cleveland that they recalled the happy event ten years ago, however, puzzled the Cabinets. Several secret conferences were held at residence of the Secretary of State. It was decided that tin offerings would be too cheap and commonplace to tender the President and his wife, but on the other hand the conclusion was reached that it would violate the rules of etiquette to make presents greater intrinsic value than tin. One of the most embarrassing features of these concessions was the fact that President Cleverdin, in his tariff advice to Congress and his thirty had found tin to be the subject of various annoyance of his project. THE BOMB'S VICTIMS. EIGHT PEOPLE DEAD AND TWENTY-ONE DYING AT BARCELONA. BAECKLONA, June 8.—Martial law has been declared here. The total victims by the anarchist bomb explosion yesterday are eight dead, twenty-one dying and 108 injured. The person who threw the bomb into the crowd before the Church of Santa Maria del Mary yesterday during the Corpus Christi procession has not yet been apprehended. The impression is general that an anarchist him bodily from his knees to the top of his head. He had lit a candle to see how the paint was drying, when the turpentine in the paint ignited, causing the explosion. He was lifted from the tank, and a couple of buckets of water dashed upon him extinguished his burning clothes. He was carried to his home and is now in a very precarious condition. Jose Mascarel, the well-known Los Angeles capitalist, who is aged 80 years, and Maria Jesus Benito Feliz, aged 60 years, were married on Thursday after living together for thirty years. The couple have several grown up children. On Thursday Mrs. Mascarel was taken seriously ill, and it was then determined to have the ceremony performed. J. P. Goytino, a son-in-law, tried to stop the marriage, and served a notice on the county clerk not to issue a license. As in cases of this kind the statutes provide that no license is necessary, the ceremony was performed despite the protest of the son-in-law, whose objection is supposed to be based on property considerations. Mr. Mascarel is one of the wealthiest men in Southern California and is supposed to be a millionaire. He is a native of France, but has lived in Los Angeles for many years and accumulated his wealth there. He has large property interests, and is one of the directors of the Farmers and Merchants' bank. Lee A. Blaslingame, a brother-in-law of L. B. MoWhirter, who was assassinated in Fresno four years ago, was shot and seriously wounded in the mountains near that city one morning last week. He was shot from behind a cabin by a man named Corlew. Both Blaslingame and his horse were struck in the face and right hip. Although badly hurt he succeeded in reaching the residence of Joe Meelley, where medical assistance was summoned. The cause of the shooting is not yet known, but is supposed to be due to a lead growing out of the Meelter affair. Blaslingame is painfully but not fatally hurt. The attempted killing was the result of a quarrel over a sheep range. The men first engaged in a fist fight in which Blaslingame came out beat. As he was riding away, Corlew got his gun and shot him. A mysterious and revolting triple murder was committed about a mile south of Fresno Friday night, and the bodies of the victims were discovered next day in a vineyard a mile and a half from their home on the Meux ranch. The victims are Armonian vineyardists, father, daughter and son. The father is Stephen Shahmarian, aged 55; his son Benjamin 19; and the daughter Quin, aged 30. They were shot in the back of the head, all in the same manner evidently, and apparently all done with the same weapon, a small caliber pistol. There was no evidence of any struggle and there is a theory that they were chloformed at their home and taken to the vineyard and shot while insensible. A young man named Daniel Shahmarian, cousin of the two younger Shahmarian, has been arrested on suspicion but stoutly maintains his innocence. He is about 22 years of age and lives in Fresno. When Capt. Wirt Saunders, the Assistant City Prosecutor of Spokane, and Miss Minnie Allison of Albany, Or., were married in the former city on Saturday their union served the sequel of a romance of more than ordinary interest, being the culmination of an engagement of over fifteen years' standing. Saunders first met Miss Allison at Albany, Or., in 1881. One day in 1885 Miss Mattie Allison, the sister of his affluence, sent for him. He met her that evening and they went out for a walk in the outskirts of Albany, when she told him that Charles Campbell, a Texan who bore the reputation of being a bad man, had been circulating slanderous stories concerning her. She asked Saunders' protection. While they were talking Campbell came strolling up and Saunders demanded of him an explanation of his conduct. There was a quarrel and Saunders shot Campbell dead, to save his own life, as he maintained. Saunders and Miss Allison were indicted for murder. Miss Allison was acquitted, but Saunders was A healthy revival of athletic sports appears be now a factor in this country. The Southern Pacific Company, when it built its bicycle track at Santa Monica, had in compilation the use of the infield as a ground for athletic contests; and on Sunday, June 4th next, will give the first of what is hoped will prove a series of athletic field days. It will be presented under the name of "Greek Games," and patterned after the revival of the Olympian games recently held at Athena, Greece. Entries are being made from the turner societies at various points in this section, from athletics clubs and by individual athletes at large. The entertainment will open with that always attractive feature in gymnastics, horizontal bar work. The other events will be wrestling in catch-as-catch-can and in the Swiss style; a 100-yard novice run and a 100-yard handicap; high jump, broad jump, hop-stop-and-jump, pole vaulting and hand-over-hand climbing. The affair will be envisioned by the presence of a good band, which will render an excellent concert during the progress of the games. There will be low excursion rates from interior points. The Sunday train service between Los Angeles and Santa Monica will be double the usual daily service. Entry blanks may be secured from any agent of the Southern Pacific Company. Three months ago T. P. Hornsby appeared in Los Angeles, claiming to be an agent of the National Electrical School of Chicago, and began organizing a class in electrical engineering. He met with success and soon had a class of sixty, nearly all being businessmen. Hornsby assured them that the les- THE BOMBS VICTIMS. EIGHT PEOPLE DEAD AND TWENTY-ONE DYING AT BARCELONA. BARCELONA, June 8.—Martial law has been declared here. The total victims by the anarchist bomb explosion yesterday are eight dead, twenty-one dying and 108 injured. The person who threw the bomb into the crowd before the Church of Santa Maria del Mary yesterday during the Corpus Christi procession has not yet been apprehended. The impression is general that an anarchist did the work as a result of a widespread anarchistic plot. The police are working on this theory, and have arrested twenty-two men known to entertain anarchistic sympathies. In connection with these arrests, they have secured a number of documents which give some clue to the plot of which yesterday's bomb-throwing was a manifestation. The documents indicate that the center of agitation is direct with the purpose of precipitating a number of Anarchist demonstrations accompanied by acts of violence at different points simultaneously or following close upon each other, so as to create a reign of terror in the different European cities. Yesterday's outrage was accompanied by features of peculiar atrocity. It was while the people, both those in the procession and those looking on, were devoutly kneeling when the bomb was thrown by the unknown assailant. Whether by design or not, it did its deadliest work among the innocent and harmless, the majority of the victims being women and children. Those of them who were not killed outright were horribly mutilated and subjected to exorciating torture by their injuries. It is believed the outrage was directed against Gen. Desabuola, one of the dignitaries of the city, who was carrying the banner at the head of the religious procession. Other city officials also took part in the procession. NEW YORK, June 8.—A dispatch to the World from Barcelona says the Anarchist outrage yesterday exactly thirty-one months after the Licoo Theater explosion, presumably aimed at the host in the religious procession. The American consul-general went at once to the spot. As no American was involved, he called on the captain-general to offer condolence. Extra precautions have again been taken to protect the United States consulate day and night. The correspondent has seen six of the dead in the hospital and eight of the wounded. Fourteen are dead, mostly of the poorer class. There is a rumor that the leader of the assassins is a woman. A.J.C.C.Bull for Service.

A report comes from a remote sheep camp in the Guyamaosas, sixty miles southwest of Bakersfield, that a Frenchman employed as a herder had an encounter with a grizzly other night, in which he narrowly escaped with his life. He was alleep, but was aroused by a commotion among the sheep, and went to see the cause, thinking it was a lion or coyote. He was amazed when he reached the corral to find himself face to face with a large female bear, standing on its blind legs, and accompanied by a couple of cubs. Before he could realize what it was that confronted him in the dim light, the bear literally threw itself on him, pinning him to the ground, and began chewing him up. His shrieks brought his dogs to the scene and they at once attacked the bear. This caused the brute to turn its attention from the man, who had just life enough to crawl away and get to his camp. His companions dressed his wounds, and sent to town for another herder to take his place. As a passenger train on the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern road was rounding a curve near Seattle the engine turned a complete somersault down a three-foot embankment, carrying the tender and baggage car with it and dragging both coaches from the rails, but not from the roadbed. The train was running at twenty-five miles an hour, but the engineer, George Gabriel, stuck to his post, put on the air brakes, and saved the twenty-five passengers. The engineer's courage came near costing him his life; for he was buried in the overturned cab, which was at once filled with scalding steam. Fortunately one of the big driving wheels of the engine burst its way into the tender tank and released the water, which flowed completely over the engineer's body till he was released by the conductor and brakeman. He had been struck a severe blow on the right thigh, which may result in serious complication. Six months ago the same man, sitting in the same engine cab, saved a Lake Shore train in the same manner, paying the penalty with a broken leg, from which he has but just recovered.
