RED CROSS APPEAL FOR HELP
Miss “’ilberforce Says Money Is Badly
Needed For Hospital Facilities—Sick
and Wounded Soldiers Return to
Spain —— Children Imprisoned.
Havana, July 6.—A caustic editorial
sin La Vose de Cuba, complaining of
*Weyler’s illiberai application of the po-
riitical amnesty decree in commemora—
1tion of the king’s birthday, has brought
rto the newspaper prompt suppression.
"The publisher has been fined, and the
editor is under arrest. The Madrid pie-
torial paper, Blanco y Negro, has been
excluded from circulation in Cuba on
:account of its reproduction of American
caricatures ridiculing Weyler’s recon-
.centration policy.
Miss Wilberforce, the British Red
Cross delegate, who recently arrived in
Havana, has sent a strong appeal to
England for money contributions to en.
able the Spanish Red‘Cross association
2t01increase the hospital facilities in the
cities and towns and to extend the work
to the government outposts in the in-
terior.
Seven hundred and seventy ill and
wounded Spanish troops were embark-
ed .fior home yesterday at General Wey-
.ler's request, to make room in the hos-
pitals for the new fever and smallpox
victims who are stricken down from
day to 'day.
Miss Wilberforce still hopes to per-
suade General Weyler to permit the re-
ception at the hospitals and impartial
treatment of wounded Cubans who are
captured and held as prisoners of war,
awaiting court martial, sentences of
death or deportation in chains.
A Jucaro Moron dispatch to El Diaro
de la Marina reports the defeat of a
party of rebel amazons near the central
trocha and announced the capture of
Senorita Florentina, their captain. The
moment the news reached General
Weyler at Manzanillo he telegraphed
ordering her release.
Cuban Women Disappear.
Havana, via Jacksonville, Fla, July 6.—
Senors Borelles, Marandios, Natrones
and Diaz, wealthy residents of Guana-
bacoa, were arrested at night Wednes-
day and hustled off to jail. The next
night their homes were invaded by
troops and police, and their wives and
daughters were forced to go with the
men, hardly having a chance to dress.
Indeed, two of them, handsome girls of
16 and 18, were taken away in their
night garments, the soldiers indulging
in the coarsest jests regarding them
and their appearance.
These women have disappeared, and
to complaints made in Guanabacoa and
Havana no attention is paid, save if the
complainants get too importunate a
significant hint is given that they had
better for their own sake be more com-
plaisant.
La Lucha reports that 14 children
from 6 to 15 years old have been put in
prison as “abetters of the rebellion."
La Lucha, E1 Comercio and Diario de
la Marina taunt the “Yankees” with
being "fiery on paper, but inactive in
work,” and they say Calhoun’s report is
“slumbering in a pigeonhole from
which McKinley will never dare to
withdraw it.” The American colony is
insulted daily in the papers, and many
sarcastic remarks are made regarding
the “Americans’ sudden change of front
‘ when Spain stood on her digniw.’
Smallpox In Montreal.
Montreal, July6 .——Two cases of small-
pox have developed in Montreal. A
few days ago J. A. Goddard, 3. Well
known insurance agent, was removed
to Strong’s private hospital, where he
underwent treatment for typhoid fever,
but it has since been ascertained that it
was smallpox. Since then another case
has been discovered on St. Andre street
in .the east end, where the epidemic was
so bad in 1885.
Iron and Steel Works Burned.
Akron, 0., July 6.—The shafting de-
partment of the Akron Iron and Steel
company’s works has been completely
destroyed by fire. The loss is $100, 000;
fully covered by insurance. The build-
ing was 300 feet long and two stories
high. It was equipped with much valu-
able machinery, which, together with a
large amouht of finished steel and iron,
was destroyed. The fire was caused by
the intense heat.
No Strike In Kansas.
Weir City, Kan., July 6.—No strike
has been ordered among the miners of
this district. Should the men be or-
dered out, many would refuse to strike,
it is said, although most of them are
union men. They have no serious griev-
ance, except scarcity of work. In 1893
they were out on a long and disastrous
strike, and Since then they have re—
mained at work regardless of eastern
disturbances.
Desperate Fighting In Brazil.

selheiro’s losses are still greater. Fight-
ing has been continuous since June 27.
Philippine Islands “Pacifled” Again.

DYING IN POVERTY.
Miserable Fate 01' Maria Moucrieil'e King,
Relative of English Peeresses.
Chicago, July 6.——On a soiled, grease
stained pallet in a sweltering room
scarcely 10 feet square in the basement
of a dilapidated house on Calumet av-
enue lies Maria Louisa Moncrieffe King
in a. dying condition. Poverty is stamp—
ed everywhere—on the untidy bed, the
dilapidated chairs, the pitiful attempts
at decoration and the ragged carpet. At
her side watches a patient, sorrow bent
woman, her only daughter, while from
the room beyond come the cacklings
and boastful utterances of an old man,
half quack doctor, half shyster lawyer,
the husband of Maria King, now Mrs.
Cummings.
First cousins to this woman dying in
miserable poverty are half a dozen
wives of prominent peers of the United
Kingdom, the famous Moncrieffe sis-
ters, who were enabled through money
loaned them by Maria King’s father to
make a series of the most brilliant
matches in England. Among these
cousins are the Duchesses of Athol,
Lady Forbes, Lady Dudley and Lady
Mordaunt.
ARE THEY AFRAID OF US?
Europe Disturbed Because This Country
Is Growing So Great.
Berlin, July 6.——Bismarck’s Hamburg
organ contains an article on America
and Europe, the writer of which con-
siders that the leaders of European
opinion view the growth of the giant
states of the American union With par-
donable alarm. Those states, he says,
are still behind the European states in
strength for war and in culture, but
there are three important factors which
promise them supremacy in the future——
their unity, enormous size and the ad-
vantage they have of lying in different
zones. The article continues as fol-
lows: ’
“In comparison with this uniform Co-
lossus, Europe, with her high cultiva-
tion and many political divisions, re—
minds us of ancient Greece when it split
and fell before the growth of Macedonia
and Rome.”
The writer thinks the growth of
America most dangerous for England
and that the conflict of the future will
be between the United States on the
one hand and Spain, Japan and Eng—
land on the other.
THREE PEOPLE DROWNED.
West Pointer Loses His Life Trying to

Chauvinists Score Laurier.
Paris, July 6.—The Chauvinist papers
make spiteful remarks at the expense
of Sir Wilfred Laurier' s patriotic
speeches in London. They say that as

to declare in favor of a French party
and a Separatist press in anada, while
they think Louis Riel wor - y of canoni-
zation.

“STILL ANOTHER MYSTERY.
Body of an Unknown Man Found \Vith
Wounds Suggestfng Murder.
New York, July 6.—The waters of the
lower bay have given up the evidence
of another tragedy—probably a mur-
der. A party of yachtsmen in Commo-
dore Charles Morgan’s yacht Acorn,
sailing off the Staten Island coast.
came upon the dead body of a. man
fully clothed, floating face upward,
about tw0 miles out in the bay from
Giffords Station, S. I. Wounds on the
body indicated that the man had been
murdered. The body was that of a
large man, 5 feet 9 inches tall and of
about 160 pounds weight. The dead man
had dark hair and a yellow mustache.
Coroner John T. Oakes of Stapleton
found a out under the left ear. The cut,
an inch in length, extended from the
apex' of the cheek bone nearly to the
nostril line. It was as clean as the slit
of a razor and went clear to the bone.
On the forehead was a bruise. The
body was fully clothed, and the clothes
were of good quality. The coat and
waistcoat, of black diagonal cloth, were
Well cut and but little worn. The trou-
sers were of dark striped material. In
the pockets were two keys of peculiar
pattern and $2.42 in American money.
There were no papers, cards or other
articles in the pockets which might lead
to identification. On the silk necktie
was found the name of the makers, W.
Baines & Son, Leicester, England. The
body is believed to be that of I vessel
captainor mate. Pending an autopsy,
it is impossible to say whether the
wounds were sufficient to have caused
death or not.
”BARKER 2110111110013.
The Negro Wife Murderer Pays the Pen-
alty In Sing Sing Prison.
Sing Sing, N. Y., July 'Z.-—John Henry
Barker, the negro wife murderer, was
put to death in the electric chair today.
Barker is the twenty-third man who
has died in the electric chair in Sing
Sing. Barker spent the early part of
last evening with his spiritual adviser,
the Rev. Father Creedon of the Cath-
olic church in Sing Sing. ‘
After the priest left him Barker pass-
ed most of the night in singing hymns,
the intense heat of his cell making
sleep impossible. He was aroused at 6
o'clock this morning, and he prepared
himself for his death. When Warden
Sage called at his cell door the con-
demned man assured him that he would
meet death bravely. Barker’s children
visited him last night and bade him a
last goodby.
The Rev. Father McGuire visited the
condemned man early this morning
and administered the last rites of the
Catholic church. Father Creedon also
called and the two clergymen remained
with Barker until after the execution.
Father McGuire executed Barker’s last
will and testament today. It disposed
of a small piece of property which he
owned at“ White Plains and divided it
equally among his four children—Geor-
giana, Lucy, Lizia and John Henry,‘ Jr.
Barker' s crime was committed at
White Plains in August, 1895. He was
an ’ex— —convict. He had abused his wife
until she had left him. She was living
at a farmhouse on the hill, two miles
from the village of White Plains. Bar—
ker went to the farmhouse with a shot-
gun and discharged both barrels at her.
She fell to the ground and he then
picked up a spade and beat her until
she was dead.
Barker escaped and hid in the woods
for more than a month, but was finally
captured while asleep in Nigger Hill, a
negro settlement. He was then tried
and convicted.

ALLIGATORS AT A .BAPTIZING. 3
Saurians Viciously Attach a Party of N.
gro Baptists.
Sanford, Fla, July 6.—A funny story
was related here bya party of fisher-
men from up the river, relating to the
attack made upon a party of negro bap-
tizers by an alligator while the 'minis-
ter was immersing his converts.
According to their account, a colored
Baptist preacher and his flock had gone
to the St. John river some miles above
here and had arranged for a baptism
of many converts. Suddenly, while in
the middle of the ceremonies, several
big alligators came dashing into their
midst. The minister was seized and
dragged down, as were also several of
the converts.
The negro converts shrieked and yell—
ed, while the people on the banks shout-
ed in reply. The converts were all
clothed in flimsy white gowns, which
gave way readily, and as the alligators
had seized these instead of their arms
or legs they soon got away. As they
escaped they rushed frantically toward
the shore, the alligators cavorting in
among them and causing a great
amount of excitement and fear. The
minister was seized a second time and
dragged under, when some of his breth-
ren, armed with clubs, went to his aid.
They pummeled the big gator until
finally one of them was seized. Things
began to look squally for the preacher
and his converts, when the fishermen’s
opportune arrival turned the tide. They
fired at the alligators, killing two, and
enabling the frightened negroes to es—
cape to the shore.
There were in a pitiful plight, their
gownstorn to pieces, while some were
badly bitten by the vicious reptiles. The
minister and one old deacon fared the
worst, being hurt quite badly.
The fishermen state that the trouble
was caused by a lot of dogs that were
with the party barking and fighting,
which caused the saurians to come out.
They also state that they think the alli—
gators were breeding and that they
were in a dangerous state. It has caused
much excitement here as being some-
thing unusual.
THE FATE OF A JUMPER.
Leaped to His Death From the Brooklyn
Bridge.
New York, July 6.—-Another candidate
for fame met death in jumping from
the Brooklyn bridge. He was Captain
W. C. Keeble, who had a reputation for
jumping from bridges and masts of ves- .
sels. The bridge police received a ”tip"
of the coming event on Saturday even-
ing. Captain Ward at once ordered
three Datrclmen stationed at either end
of the bridge, while an officer in citi—
zen’s clothes was sent to watch at 196
Christie street, New York, where it was
learned that Ke‘eble lived. The officer
remained there until 9 o’clock yester-
day morning, when he returned to the
bridge office.
Two hours later, Keeble, with three
companions, left the Christie street ad-
dress in a coach and drove to the Cath—
erine street ferry, where they crossed 1
over to Brooklyn, and from there went ~
to the bridge entrance, paid their fare
and proceeded slowly to the center of
the span in the north roadway, when
the coach stopped and the party alight- 1
ed. Officer Thomas Grady, who was‘
some distance away, saw Keeble climb i
to the top of the rail and, running to-
ward him, shouted to him to stop. Be-
fore he could reach him, the man had
taken the fatal leap, feet foremost. His
body made two complete revolutions be-
fore it reached the surface, 140 feet be-
low, where it struck with a splash, dis-
appeared and was not seen afterward. I
The police arrested the driver of the
coach, Antonio Montored, Dunbar Mc-
Donald, Michael Kern and Walter
Weed, the three others, also Lawrence
Sprock of 81 East Fourth street, New
York, and George Schuroth of 138 East
Third street, New York, who had been
stationed as looko ts to watch for the
police. They were all taken up to the '
Bridge police station and locked 9p.
Keeble, it was learned, was formerly
a sergeant in Coxey’s army and up to
four weeks ago a waiter in Dennett’s
Fourteenth stréet restaurant, when he
left there to make preparations for the
jump which .he hoped would make him
famous'as a museum freak.
WILD STEER RUNS AMUOK.
Broke Away From the Herd and Terror-
ized the People of Trenton. !
Trenton, July 6.—A mad steer broke
away from a herd here and after mak-
ing a tour of a dozen streets was final-
fy killed. During its mad flight the
steer tossed Richard Foster, aged 60,
ten feet in the air besides frightening
the wits out of many more. Foster was
unconscious for a short while, buw‘iwas
not seriously injured.
After the steer had succeeded in driv-
ing many persons to places of refuge it
jumped into the canal at Hamilton ave-
nue and swam to the rear entrance of
the Trenton Iron company’s works and
entered the machine shop, where it.
made a bolt at several of the men,
among whom was Foster. All the others
got out of the way, but Foster was not
quick enough. A young woman named
Lottie Burchail, who saw Foster tossed,
thought he was her father, and she
fainted. The animal was finally las-
soed and killai.
Descendant of Huguenots Dead.
Kansas City, July 6.——Dr. Alfred Le-
fevre, a member of one of the oldest
Huguenot families in America, is dead
at his home here of cancer of the
stomach. Dr. Lefevre came here from
Dayton in 1885. He was born at Troy,
0., in 1822 and was a direct descendant
of Isaac Lefevre, one of the first French
Huguenots to come to America in 1708.

the deceased, will take the remains to
Ohio for burial.
Useful Postoflioe Official Dead.
St. John, N. B., July 6.—S. J. King,
the postofiice inspector here, died sud-
denly during the night after retiring in
his usual health. He was appointed

tion of inspector. To Mr. King is due
much of the credit for the excellent
mail arrangements between this city
and the United States.

ENGLAND ADMONISHED.
Secretary Sherman Sends Some Sharp Crit-
icisms to Embassador Hay.
London, July 6.—-The Chronicle’s
Washington correspondent cables:
“Coming swift upon the heels of the
jubilee expressions of amity on the part
of the United States to Great Britain.
it will be an unpleasant surprise to the
British public to know that the present
administration, in its diplomatic inter-
course with England, is adopting a tone
as sharp as that which characterized
the conduct of international affairs un-
der President Cleveland.
“Within a few days, possibly on
Wednesday, the president will transmit
to congress the correspondence relating
to the seal fisheries. It contains a most
important dispatch, dated May 10.
from Secretary Sherman to Embassa-
dor Hay, a copy of which Colonel Hay
was directed to hand to Lord SalisburY.
“The dispatch covers six or eight large
printed pages. It reviews the efforts of
the United States and Great Britain to
carry out the terms of the Paris award
and asserts tha.t.the .United States has
lOyaily adhered to the findings of the
tribunals, while it insinuates that Eng-
land has been guilty of bad faith. It
does not charge Great Britain with
evasion, duplicity and bad faith in set
terms, but that is the tenor of the dis-
patch.
"Its publication will undoubtedly
cause irritation and resentment in Eng-
land.
“The dispatch is nominally signed by
Mr. Sherman, but it in really the joint
work of Messrs. Foster and Hamlin.
The administration is proud of the dis-
patch and believes that it will be re-
ceived with as much popular approval
as Mr. Olney’s Venezuelan dispatch.
“The foreign office has not answered
the dispatch beyond making a formal
acknowledgement of its receipt.
“One of the latest dispatches calls
Great Britain’s attention to the fact
that the United States maintains five
vessels in Bering sea to prevefit illegal
sealing, while Great Britain maintains
only two, one of which is a yacht.”
OUTLOOK FOR THE TARIFF.
Senate Likely to Take All This Week on
the Measure.
Washington, July 6.—The outlook for
the week in the senate is quite uncer-
tain. There is every probability that
the tariff bill will be passed, but
whether early or late in the week is by
no means certain.
The various provisions for a stamp
' tax. for a beet sugar bounty and for the
suppression of trusts threaten todevelop
considerable debate, and there is a
i prospect of general speeches by Sena-
- tors Bate.
Mills, Chilton, Allen and
others. The present indications are
that there will be a determined effort
to force the committee on finance to re-
store the sugar bounty provision, and
upon the succe$ or fa' ore of this ef-
fort probably will larg ly depend the
length of time yet to be consumed in
the senate.
When the tariff bill comes over to the
house this week, the programme is to
send it immediately to conference. The
minority will make no opposition to this
if the Republicans will assure them
“reasonable” time for debate when the
ill is reported back by the conferees.
To this the Republican leaders express
their assent, though no determination
has yet been made of how long a “rea-
sonable” time is. Mr. Bailey thinks
three or four days will be sufficient. In
view of the fact that the bill‘may re-
turn to the house any day the order for
Sessions on Mondays and Thursdays
will probably be revoked, or a recess
will be taken from day to day until the
bill passes the senate.
FIREWORKS DID IT.
A Combination of Pyrotechnics and Gaso-
line Causes Havoc.
Chicago, July 6.——Fireworks and gaso—
line were combined in an explosion
which blew out the front of the build-
ing at 5613 Jefferson avenue. The fol-
lowing .sons were injured: 0. H.
Frank, severely burned about the face
and hands, may die; Alice Anschutz,
seriously cut about the face by flying
glass'; T. W. Coombs, cut and overcome
by smoke, and Harry Hardman, fire:-
man, overcome by smoke, may die.
The mass of blazing oil and explosives
shot out into the street, narrowly miss-
ing a passing cable car. Immediately
the three—story building burst into
flames, and it was with difficulty that
the unconscious Coombs was rescued
from the second floor. The fire was of
short duration and the loss not heavy.
Their Bodies Ground to Atoms.
Buffalo, July 6.—A special train on
the Western New York and Pennsyl-
vania railroad, carrying the members
of the Paul Boyton Specialty com-
pany from Buffalo to Lime Lake, struck
a carriage containing Robert Doster of
South Wales and George Laney of Ben-
nington, Wyoming county, at a level
crossing near South Vi’ales. The train
was traveling at a high rate of speed,
and the men were ground to pieces, por-
tions of their bodies being strewn along
the track for a mile.
Brakemep Killed In a Wreck.
Pensacola, Fla, July 6.—A train of
empty-that cars on the Muscogee branch
railroad, while being backed down to
tie mill, struck a handcar and was
t rown from the track and badly
wrecked. The people on handcar
saved themselves by jumping. The two
oologed brakemen on the train, Joe Jones
