Besides the Rebellion in Cuba There
Is Discontent at Home.

 

THE RIOTING AT VALENCIA.

The Agents of the Insurgents Thought to
Be Responsible For the Trouble.
Bod Reports of the Condition
of the Troops In Cuba.

MADRID, Aug. 7.—Trouble of a serious
nature is being fomentcd in Spain, particu-
larly in the province of Valencia, by agents
of the Cuban insurgents. The minister of
the interior, Senor Cos-Gayon, replying to
a question in the chamber of deputies, ad-
mitted that a number of riots had occurred
in Valencia, and when asked to explain
the cause of the disturbances said that
they were caused by friends of the Cuban
insurgents, who hoped thereby to prevent
the departure of further re~enforcements
of troops for Cuba. Hitherto the popular
demonstrations have been attributed en-
tirely to protests against the imposition of
new taxes, a step made necessary by the
financial strain to which the government
has been subjected through carrying on
the campaign against the Cuban insur-
gents.

But, while the government is only will-
ing to admit that the riots have been in-
stigated by the agents of the Cuban revo-
lutionists, it is generally admitted that the
roots of the trouble are much deeper and
are nourished by the natural feeling of
alarm and dismay at the apparent utter
inability of the government to cope with
the situation in that island. That the
large Spanish army in Cuba must be still
further and heavily rte-enforced is looked
upon here as being a confession of weak-
ness upon the part of the administration
and as an admission of the growing
strength of the Cubans. ‘ -

Soldiers Complain.

Many letters have been received in dif-
ferent parts of Spain by the relatives of
Spanish soldier-y serving with the army in
Cuba, and they tell such terrible tales of
sickness, privatlon, incompetency and
mismanagement, to say nothing of lack of
pay, that a dangerous feeling against the
government has arisen and is gaining
strength day by day.

Under these circumstances the agents of
the Cubans do not have much difficulty in
carrying out their plan of causing popular
outbreaks. They steadily fan the flame of
discontent by pointing’ to the apparently
unnecessary hardships which the Spanish
troops in Cuba are compelled to endure.
The Republicans also are taking advan-
tage of the situation to push their propa-
ganda, and the combined movements are
making more headway with the masses
than the government will admit, although
it is already betrayingsymptoms of alarm
and has sent stringent instructions to the
prefect-s promptly and effectually to sup-
press demonstrations which may occur in
their districts and to have no hesitation
in calling upon the military for support.

A number of conflicts between rioters
and police and soldiers have already oc-
curred, shots have been exchanged, sev-
eral persons have been wounded on both
sides, and a large number of arrests have
been made. This, the revolutionists hope,
will serve to call attention to their cause
and enlist in their behalf the sympathy of
the people. The roads in Valencia are
patrolled by mounted police, troops are
pursuing armed bands of revolutionists in
the mountainous districts of the some
province, and further trouble is appre-
hended. '

In a factory near the city of Valencia
the authorities of that place have discov-
ered a quantity of arms and ammunition,
and similar stores are believed to be in
existence in different parts of the prov-
ince. The arms are known to have been
smuggled into Spain quite recently and
are of foreign manufacture, showing their
shipment to be a part of a plan conducted
by outsiders.

Even Madrid I-s Disoontented.

Madrid up to the present has been quiet,
but signs are not wanting that the spirit
of discontent is abroad hero, and that the
efforts of the government to gain support
by trying to throw the blame for every-
thing upon the United States will not
much longer avail. The Spanish officials
in blaming the United States base their
assertions on the fact that among the
leaders of the recent riots was Dr. Bernado
Toledo, said to be an American citizen,
whose brother is in command of a force of
Cuban insurgents. It' is claimed that
money, arms and ammunition were served
out to the rioters from the house which be
occupied, and a search of the building is
said to have resulted in the discovery of a
number of letters from the United States,
Cuba and the Argentine Republic, show-
ing that the outbreaks here have been
planned by the leaders of the Cuban in-
surgents. -

Another feature of the situation here is
the effort making in certain quarters to
arouse the masses against the Protestants,
all Americans being classed as Protes-
tants. The Cuban agents, however, are
doing everything possible to counteract
this movement and are urging the people
to-place the blame for the excessive taxa-
tion, the military blunder-ing and the po-
litical bluste’r where it really belohgs, upon
the shouldersof the Spanish government,
and not to be misled by the statements
emanating from semioificial sources, and
for a time pretty generally believed, that

agents of the United States government,

were overbidding the agents of Spain
wherever the latter tried to purchase war-
ships for the Spanish government.

' Insurgent Reports From Cuba.
KEY WEST, Aug. 7.—Two officers of the
Cuban army Were picked up by the pilot-
boat James Jewett and brought in here.
Their names are Enrique Castro and Jose
Roselle. They were in a small boat and
claim to have come from Cardenas. Ad-
vices from Cuba state that the killing of
innocent Cubans not only continues out-
side of the cities, but that recently three
young men were arrested in Obrapia

street, Havana, and afterward killed.

 

The Spree at Southampton.

SOUTHAMPTON, Aug. 7.—The Spree,
from New York July 28, arrived here
safely today. The . Spree was expected
Tuesday, and her delay is explained by the
fact that the bearings of her machinery
became overheated, which necessitated
slowing down as a matter of precaution.
Some anxiety was expressed at the Spree’s
.nonarrlval on time.

ST. PAUL-Aug. 7.—-The Rev. J. C.
Hull, a prominent Methodist preacher of
this city, was locked up in the Ducas

Death of General Santa Anna’s Daughters
Chinese Immigration.

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 7.—-Senora
Guadeloupe Santa Anna de Castro, daugh-
ter of President 'Santa Anna, who led the
Mexican armies in the war with the Unit-
ed States, has died in this city.

Complaint is made that Chinese immi-
gration on the wast coast is introducing
leprosy, and it is also stated that China-
men are marrying the women of the lower
classes. Mormon colonies are prosperiug,
owing to frugal and energetic business
management.

Railway construction in various parts
of the republic is actively going on, and
imports of English railway material, prin-
cipally steel rails, are increasing. The pol-
icy of the government is now directed to
the development and completion in the
most essential parts of the present railway
system, the greatest lack of facilities be-
ing in the southern Mexico and along” the
wast coast. which is agriculturally and
minerally the richest part of the republic.
The government,in granting modifications
of railway concessions, allows on portions
not subventioned rates which fully com-
pensate, in the opinion of railway men,
the-profit to be derived from the subsidies.

 

The most profitable railway in the country,

today is the Mexican Northern, operating
in the Sierra Mojadarmining region, which
has no subvention, but is allowed to charge
high rates, having no competition, and is
doing an excellent business.

Representations are being made to the
government by the chambers of commerce
of the cities on the west coast stating that
the entire section from Sonora south is
lacking in transportation facilities and
praying that measures be taken to supply
the want.

OHIOAGO’S- MATCH PUZZLE.

Eflbrts to Keep the Affairs of the Moore
Bros. From the Public.

CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-—1TheChronicle today
says: “The Moore Bros. will not take the
public or even the rank and file of the
StockExchange into their confidence. The
subcommittee appointed by the governing
committee of the Stock Exchange held a
session, and, after agreeing :not to give
out any information relative to the con-
fessions they had heard, adjourned subject
to the call of the chairman. This means
that they will probably not press the
Moor-es for a. showing of documentary
proof of their condition, and that they will
have nothing tangible to report to the
governing committee of the exchange,
which called a meeting today for the ex-
press purpose of hearing what. the Moores
have to say about themselves.

“The only thing tangible about the fu-
ture of the big tangle that could be
learned was that the Chicago agents of
George M. Pullman, who, like Mr. Ar-
mour, is known to be carrying an enor-
mous line of Diamond Match stock as col-
lateral sccurity for money advanced to the
Moores, had wired him to return to the
city as quickly as possible. Mr. Pullman
is expected to be here within 48 hours.”

CAPE Town, Aug._7.—-The premier of

dressing his constituents at est London,

construct batteries at Algoa bay and in
Buffalo harboras a contribution to the
empire of which they formed part.

 

The Irish Land Bill.

LONDON, Aug. '7.—-The members of the
house of lords showed great interest today

Cuban Sought. Vengeance on the W0-
man Who Had Jilted Him.

HE TEREW ACID IN 1131141101.

The Woman “’33 a. “'idow \Vho W
“'ell to Do and Kept a Boarding
House—The Police 1Have Not
Yet Caught Her Assailant.

BROOKLYN, Aug. 7.—The police were
looking this afternoon for a love smitten
Cuban who is charged with having thrown
carbolic acid in the face of a woman be-
cause she would not return his affection.
She is confined to her bed suffering from
severe burns.

The man is Augustine Dominguez, who
now lives at 146 Willow street. He came
to this city from Cuba several months ago.
He went to live at 177 Columbia heights.
That is the most fashionable street in
Brooklyn. At that number Mrs. Mary
Ehrhart keeps a boarding house. Domin-
guez became one of her boarders. He is
tall, has a black mustache that he keeps
well waxed and has the dark complexion
of his race. He dresses neatly and is ex-
ceedingly polite.

Mrs. Ehrhart is a widow, but withsl
young and, many say, exceedingly good
looking. She is only 28 years old. Her
husband died six years ago while they were
traveling in the south. Returning to
Brooklyn, she opened the boarding house
and has since conducteda successful busi-
ness.

The Cuban had not been in the house a
week before he began to show that he was
much taken with his clever, good looking
landlady. He began to follow her around
through the house to pay flattering com-
pliments to her about her beauty, and one
day dropped on his knees before her in the
dining room, sighing:

“Ah, madam. I love you!”

Mrs. Ehrhart did not fling herself into
his ext-ended arms in the proverbial way,
and he was very much disappointed.

“Get up and go to your room,” she said
in her businesslike way. “Don’t make a
fool of yourself any more. "

But Dominguez’s ardor would brook no
slight. He persisted in his love declara-
tions until the widow, tired of his atten-
tions, ordered him to pack and get out.
Then it was that he left uni went to the
house at 146 Willow street to board.

Before he left it is said that he remark-
ed, “You will regret that you spurned my
love!”

_Dominguoz was in the cigar business
at 214 Pearl street. New York. He didn’t
allow that, however, to distract his mind
from thoughts of love. Almost every even-
ing, it is said, he Would dress in his best
suit, give his mustache an extra twirl at
the ends and spend his time walking back

“and forth on Columbia heights, in front

of the house, in the hope of seeing Mrs.
Ehrhart. ‘
Threw Acid at Her.

He had been watching today over an
hour, it is alleged, across the street. Mrs.
Ehrhart wanted to go out, but didn't wish
to meet him. She told her servant, Julia
Wieswasser, to watch and tell her when he
went away. The servant reported later
that he had gone. Then Mrs. Ehrhart
started. She was dressed in a dark skirt
and light waist and wore a veil.

The servant was mistaken. Dominguez
had just gone farther down the street to
continue his watch. When he saw Mrs.
Ehrhart, he began to follow her. She felt
uneasy and turned back. They met in
front of 147 Columbia heights.

He said: "Step! I want to speak to

u. ”

She replied sterniy, “Well, sir, what
have you to say?”

As she spoke she turned, half facing
him. She says that she saw him pull the
bottle out of his pocket and throw the
acid. The liquid sputtered over her veil
and waist and burned through them. Her
right check was slightly burned under the
right eye. The most severe burns were on
the right shoulder and breast. The acid
ate through the waist. When he threw it,
she threw up her right arm to‘protect her-
self. That hand and forearm were burned
till they were raw.

Screaming, she wiped her face and hand
as best she could with her handkerchief.
Dominguez fled. He has not been seen
since.

A number of persons Were sitting on
stoops in sight of the woman. They ran
to Mrs. Ehrhart, whom they assisted to
her home. Dr. Riggs of 110 Montague
street attended her.

He said that if she had not thrown up
her arm and been protected by her veil she
would have received scars on her face that
she would have carritxi to her grave. As
it is, he says that she will always carry
the scars on her band, arm and breast.

As soon as she had sufficiently recovered
from the shock she had the transaction
reported to the police. Detectives were at
once sent out to arrest the man.

Glossworkers’ Wages.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 7.—’l‘he American flint
pressed ware scale was practically settled
at a conference of manufacturers and work-
men today. The manufacturers made
some slight concessions in the working
rules, which will result in a small increase
in the price of production, but the wage
scales will remain the same as last year.
A general resumption in September is ex-
posted.

A Requisition For Henricus.

ALBANY, Aug. 7. -—Governor Morton has
granted a requisition on the governor of
Connecticut for Charles I. Henricus, the
absconding treasurer of the Rochester
Bricklayers, Plasterers and Stooemasons’
union. Henricus left Rochester in Decem-
ber last with $800 belonging to the organ-
ization and was captured in Hartford the
other day. -

 

Big Carpet Assignment.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 7.—Robert E.
Boyd, Milton Harley and George C. Boyd,
carpet dealers at 11-20 Market street un-
der the firm name of Boyd, Harley & Co.,
have made an assignment for the benefit

of their creditors. The liabilities are about,

$250,000, and the firm have on their books
upward of $350,000.

Cotton Exchange Suspensions.
NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—Stepbeu R. Post
and S. Michoibacher announced to the
Cotton Exchange today their inability to
continue operations. Mr. Michclbachei
said that all his contracts were covered,
and that his suspension was only tempo-
racy.
Profeuor Andrea's Arctic Trip.

Perhaps the
“New Woman ’ ’ will
be a stronger wo-
man than the old
one. Certainly,
fresh air ‘-and the
right exercise will
do much for her.
Fresh air is a great

seemingly almost

same methods will
not cure her if she
be. already sick.
.Taken under medical direction, in con-
nection with the right medicine, they
will help effect a cure. No women who
sufiers at all from so-called “ female weak-
ness ” should attempt athletics of any
sort. She should first put herself into
possession of strong and earty health by
taking Dr. Pierce’leavorite Prescription.
. After she is thoroughly well, exercise and
diversion will help 0 ee her well. The
cure should come first. 1'. Pierce’s Fa-
vorite Prescription is designed and rec-
ommended for only the one thing. It
acts directly upon one set of organs. No
matter what is the matter with them, it
will cure it. It will not cure anything
else. It is a wholesome tonic, an invig-
l oratin nervine, or nerve-f as well as
a hea ing medicine, and thousands of
perfectly well women have found that by
taking 1t regularly during the period of
pregnancy, the danger and pain of par-
turition were much lessened, and in
many cases, almost entirely obviated.
