THE CUBAN REBBLLION.
Spanish Advices, as Usual, Report Suc-
cesses of the Spanish Arms.
Havana, Sept. 1.«—Genera1 Linares, in
the province of Santiago de Cuba, has
been engaged with an insurgent force.

troops lost 13 men killed, including 2

A Spanish column, consisting of 1,200
men of all arms, under the command of
General Luque and Colonel Sotomayer,
recently left Holguin, province of San-
tiago de Cuba, with the intention of at-
tacking an insurgent force which occu-
pied a strongly fortified position at Sa-
bana de Becerro. The troops camped
nine miles from the enemy's position
without being observed, and during the
night the Spanish commander ordered
two guerrilla companies and three com-
panies of Spanish infantry to surprise
the enemy. The Spanish ' forces ap-
proached close to the insurgent camp
and then rushed upon it under a heavy
fire from two sides and captured it.
The insurgents were completely taken
by surprise and fled in disorder, with a
loss of 60 men killed, according to the
official, report, and carried away their
wounded. The insurgent General Es
trada is said to have been wounded in
both legs. The troops lost 14 killed and
had 36 wounded.

Washington, Sept. 1.—Letters received
here from the Klondike indicate that
mining will be carried on there during
the coming winter so far as practicable.
but that the dirt will simply, be brought
up and left on the dump till spring
opens and systematic washing can be-
gin. The greatest difficulty complained
of by the miners is as to thawing out
the earth in order to be able to dig. The
processes now in vogue are costly and
only fairly effective. It has been sug-
gested—and Director Preston of the
mint bureau regards it as a practicable
idea—that the miners should make use
of some such apparatus as is now em-
ployed in city streets for thawing .out
the pavement in winter when water and
gas pipes have to be taken up. It is a
machine on low wheels, with a broad,
flat disk set horizontally and close to
the ground and so perforated at the
bottom that a. large number of jets of
flame can be shot out at the earth by a.
blower above. A modification of the
same idea is found in some gas ranges
for cooking flat ‘ meats. Gasoline is
commonly used in these machines, but
it is believed that if some other fluid
fuel were more available for the Klon-
dike region they could be adapted with-
out much trouble.
The Skagguay Route Impassable.
Seattle, “’ash., Sept. 1.——The chamber
of commerce has received a letter from
the miners of Skagguay warning people
of the futility of trying to reach the
Yukon 'by that route this season and
asking some modifications as to duty.
It is signed by D. J. McKinney and
W. A. Saportas, secretary of the Min-
ers' association.
Mrs. Josie Jury made a desperate at-
tempt to shoot Purser A. L. Parker of
the steamer Utopia at Skagguay on
Sunday, Aug. 22, and was only over-
come after a struggle in ,Which two re—
volvers played an important part. At
the time Mrs. Jury produced her re—
volver her husband, Edward Jury, had
Parker in a viselike grip about the neck
and was intent upon choking him to
death. Pierre Chiroux, a French Cana-
dian who witnessed the attack, drew a
second revolver and interfered in be-
half of Parker.
Jury had 3,000 pounds of freight and
claimed that the steamer had promised
him delivery at high water mark and
that he should not be called upon to
pay excessive lighterage charges. He
went to Parker. who represented the
charter parties, but the latter gave him
no satisfaction. A dispute ensued, re-
sulting in a personal encounter, during
which Mrs. Jury tried to kill the purser.
Low “’ater Stops Steamboats.
San Francisco, Sept. 1.—-A private
telegram from Seattle, Wash., to the
Alaska Commercial company says that
the water in the Yukon river in July
and August fell to a point lower than
was ever before known, preventing
steamboat traffic. Northerly gales caus-
ed a fall of the water to a depth of only
two feet over the bar at the mouth of
the river.
It is said that the steamboat Wearc
went ashore on a sand bar, and that the
Alaska company’s steamboat Bella was
at last accounts trying to tow her off.
With this low water the probability is
that the fleet of iron boats now on the
way to St. Michael's will not get up the
river till next June.
The Excelsior was delayed at St. Ml-
chael’s by the nonarrival there of the
Bella.

A Point FOr the Prosecution In tho Fa-
' mous 'C icaco Case.
Chicago, Sept. 1.——When the Luetgert
murder trial was resumed today, the de-
fense asked the court to compel, the
state to set forth by what means, ac-
cording to the theory of the prosecution,
the life of Mrs. Luetgert was taken be-
fore her body was placed in the vat.
Judge Vincent obtained the ear of the
court at the beginning of the proceed-
ings and said the indictment, which con-
tains 12 counts, does not state the man-
ner of Mrs. Leutgert’s death. The first
six counts, the atorney said,’ Hi1 ;e
that shewas drowned in a vat contain-
ing water and caustic soda and potash.
The seventh count charges that she was
struck and knocked down by some blunt
instrument. The, eighth alleges strik-
ing and instantly killing her. The ninth
count alleges striking with some deadly
instrument, while the tenth charges that
she was stabbed with a knife. The
eleventh says she was choked and her
life thus taken, and the twelfth and~last
alleges that life was taken by some
means unknown. ‘
“The state has outlined the manner
in which it is believed the remains of
Mrs. Luetgert were destroyed. We are
entitled to any knowledge the state has
as to the means of her death.”
Judge Tuthill' promptly decided that
the statewas not bound to specify the
as to the means of her death."
There was a. greater pressure than
ever for seats and, a greatcrowd was
unable to get in. One noticeable feature
was the large number of women pres-
cut.
The first witness was Charles P. Me-
landeo, a photographer, who identified
a dozen views of the Luetgert factory.
There were pictures of the building and
surroundings and flashlight photo;
graphs of the basement and the fatal
vat.
Mrs. Agatha Tosch, wife of Michael
Tosch, saloon keeper, was called next.
She was a friend of Mrs. Luetgert and
visited the latter occasionally at her
home.
Mrs. Tosch said that on Sunday after-
noon, May 2, Lueigert came to her hus-
band’s saloon and bought a glass of
beer. He was pale and excited and she
asked him what was the matter with
him, a question which he did not an-
swer. May 15 she said she saw him
again and asked him about the disap-
pearance of his wife. file said he did
not know where his wife was and was
as innocent as the sun in the sky. She
told him she believed he was guilty, and
Luetgert replied that he felt like taking
a revolver and killing himself. He
would do so, he said, but for the chil-
dren. Mrs. Tosch said Luetgert asked
her what she had heard from the _de-
tectives who were about her saloon
and what she had seen or heard her-
self.

table Men In New York State.
Albany, Aug. 3l.——Erastus Corning, a
well known citizen of this state, is dead.
He was descended from Samuel, or “En-

he was one of the most wealthy men in
the state. His charities were numerous.
Death was caused by apoplexy. He was

from being a poor boy, acquired several
millions of dollars. The elder Corning
was connected with the elder Vander-
bilt in the railroad and steamboat enter-
prises. Upon the death of Mr. Corning's
father he succeeded him in the presi-
dency of the Albany City National bank
and continued in this position in all the
succeeding years up to the time of his
death. In 1885 Mr. Corning was also
chosen a director of the New York Cen
tra‘ and Hudson River railroad. '
Mr. Corning’s charity was unbounded,
and monuments to his great generosity
can be found throughout the city.
Chief among these is the magnificent
All Saints’ cathedral, to which he do-
nated the site upon which it is built.
His wife, who survives him,
daughter of the late Amasa J. Parker.

quences. Many negroes are fleeing from

After speaking of his cordial recep-
tion in England and the splendors of the
queen’s jubilee, Sir» Wilfred Laurier.
said: ‘
“The change in the colonial policy is
accounted for by the attitude which
England has taken toward us. The de-
nunciation of the treaties means the fle-
cal independence of Canada and the
British colonies in their trade with for-
eign countries. We are practically in-
dependent. By the denunciation of
treaties Canada opens up for herself a
new ‘market. The impression we have
made goes all over Europe. Canada
is now recognized among nations as she
was not before. This is a feeling which
we are proud of and no man can now
speak against us."
