MADRID, Oct. 0.—The cable to Malilla has been repaired and dispatches of the most serious import are arriving. The “holy men” throughout Morocco are preaching a war of extermination. They exhort the Moors to drive out all European infidels and to give no quarter to Span— iards captured in battle. The Kabyles continue to arrive at the camp of the tribemen near Mililla. The Moors have now more warriors than can be fed from the district to which they have immediate access and a. famine threatens. They have kept up a desultory fire on the Spanish fortress for the last 24 hours. The Spaniards have replied occasionally, but without perceptible effect. The Moorish commander witha small force and a flag of truce called upon the governor of Melil- la and sued for peace. He assured the governor that the sultan’s intention was to inflict exemplary punishment upon the belligerent tribesmen. The governor answered that Spain could not and would ’not await the sultan’s pleasure in the mat— l ter, especially as he was. taking his leisure in giving satisfaction for the attack on the fort. The Moors fusiladed the Spanish gun- boat Cuervo as she was leaving Melilla harbor, after - having landed troops and ammunition. The gunboat put about and for 20 minutes shelled the Moorish camp. Twenty-four shells were sent into the cen- tre of the Moors’ position and their fire was silenced. One marine on the Cuervo was wounded. The loss of the Moors is believed to have been considerable. ~ - 2,5oo DEAD. Fatalities of the Louisiana Storm-— Starvation Among Survivors. NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 9.—’l‘he nevvs from every section stricken by the storm makes it safe to estimate the loss of life at fully 2,000, while millions of dollars worth of property was destroyed. Besides that Ihbusands of people have been deprived of the means of making a livelihoOd. The situation is appalling, but New Orleans is doing all it can to relieve the thousands in want. Dr. Story, coroner Of Plaque mine parish, has made the following re- port: “A good many carloads of provisions have been sent, but not near enough. Men, women and children are without food and clothing. They have become so desperate that they have threatened to attack the the stores and steal food. It is a frequent thing to see little sufferers crying and beg& ging piteously for something to eat. Sin- gle graves for the dead were impossible. Great trenches were dug and bodies were piled in one on top of the other. The earth was thrown over them and if their names were ascertained they were cut in rude crosses above the graves. I do not think I exaggerate the facts When I state that at least 2,500 souls were ushered into eternity by the recent storm in Louisiana. This, of course, includes the Bayou Cook county, Cheniere, Camanada, Grand Isle, etc. I never saw bodies decompose so rapidly as those of the storm sufferers which were viewed by me. This was due to the fact that the fish and crabs in the bayou eat the remains. I believe firmly that the marshes and other places are filled with human forms.” PUNISHED BY POVERTY. i A St. Louis Bank'Embczzler Suffering in New York. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 9.—Almon B. Thomp- son, cashier of the Provident savings bank of this city, after embezzling $63,000 for which he was to account the following day, robbed the safe of $13,000 and fled to Canada. For seven years he has been thoroughly lost to the public as though in his grave. Thompson’s wife and two daughters shortly disappeared in like man- ner. The bank went to pieces but paid 90 cents on the dollar. The Thompsons were forgotten until last week when the wife entered suit by attorney against a younger brother of Thompson, who had adminis- tered the estate of their father, deceased in 18823. By the elder Thompson’s will, the wife of Almon B. was to receive a legacy. It was to secure this legacy'that suit was brought. On Friday last the whereabouts of the missing Thompsons was revealed. They were found in two back rooms of a New York. Thompson, careworn and prematurely aged, Is a bookkeeper on a meagre salary. The elder girl is writing in an insurance office, while the younger is bedfast with a lingering illness and the mother an invalid. Thompson’s story of his wanderings and suffering is pathetic. Luck deserted him from the moment he fled this city. There are no claims or charges against him here, as everything was righted by his father. He says he will not return to St. Louis, where he was once on the top wave of the social World, but will plod on to the grave in the fight with poverty. Parnell Anniversary.

Silver and Federal Election Ques- tions to be Forced—Chinese and Bankruptcy Bills Next—Chance for the New York & New Jersey Bridge. WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. -—It is the common expectation that this, the tenth week of the extralsession, will mark an important epoch in the history of the congress. In both houses legislation of the first order of importance is pending, in the senate the silver repeal bill'and in the house the bill to repeal the federal election laWs, and it is believed that in both cases the ‘week will mark a. sensible advance towards a conclusion. Wednesday the crucial test is to be made, . that is if a sufficient number of senators respond by that date to Mr. Voor-' hees’ summons to insure the attendees Ofpa quorum. In that case the effort will be made tobring the silver repeal bill to a final vote by sitting continuously, the pur- pose being to tire out the opponents of the bill. If the plans of the repealers are suc- cessful, the bill will probably come to a vote before the close of the week“ But if the silver men succeed in the attempt to break a quorum and force an adjourn- ment at any stage of the proceedings they are confident that the senate will be obllgcd to pass a compromise measure cr allow the entire repeal proposition to fail. After the bill to repeal the federal elec- tion laws has been disposed of in the house, as under the pending order it will be on Tuesday, it is expected that the Mc- Creary bill to amend and modify the Geary Chinese registration and restriction act will be given the right of way. ‘ W'hen the bill was reported, the committee asked that two days be allotted to a discussion of the measure and that then a vote be taken on its passage. The committee on rules has not yet decided upon the terms of an order inasmuch as Representative Geary has expressed a desire for more time for the consideration of the subject. Representative Oates desires to bring up the bankruptcy bill reported to the house last week, but prefers postponing consid- eration until the 16th inst, rather than to enter upon it at the close of the week. So it is possible that Mr. Geary will get an additional day for the Chinese bill. This would bring it to a vote on Friday. The house may then adjourn over Saturday, but nothing definite has yet been deter- mined upon any of these matters. The bill to authorize the New York and New Jersey bridge cempany to build a bridge over the Hudson at New York, is another measure likely to be called up at any time. A vote taken on the third read— ing and engrossment last Thursday dis- closed no quorum and it still remains sub- ject to the demand for a vote. Since that time the committee on commerce has rec- ommended amendments intended to meet the objections then raised by Mr. Warner. LAWLESSNESS AT RIO. Foreign Ships May Be Needed to Preserve Order. .NEW YORK, Oct. 9. -—-The Herald’s Mon- tevideo correspondent cables that, being convinced that Peixoto is powerless to guarantee the safety of life or property of foreign residents of Rio de J aneiro from his soldiers, the diplomatic corps have given the president until Sunday to show that he can afford protection or declare his in~ ability to do so. - In the latter case, the foreign warships in the harbor will be ordered to land men in Rio J aneiro to preserve order. Serious differences have arisen in the diplomatic corps over the question of the right of intervention of European nations in American affairs. The representatites of the South Ameri- can countries and the United States are opposed to any interference in Brazilian affairs by the European diplomats, and stand on the theory of “America for Americans.” But no matter how this question is de— cided and what nations take it upon them- selves to adjust the affairs of the war- stricken country, the universal hope in Rio Janeiro is that there will be foreign inter- vention. , The mere mention of a possibility of this proceeding is hailed with delight, and is regarded as giving promise of a regen- eration of the country. A Reverend Fraud. MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 9.—For several weeks Rev. Robt. Anderson, a negro preacher, has been traveling up and down the Kansas, Fort Scott & Memphis railway advertising with flaming posters an excur— sion from all points on the road to Mam- moth Sprlngs, Ark. , on Oct. 7. Thousands of tickets were sold and the reverend swin- dler pocketed the cash. Hundreds of ne- groes gathered at every town on the road from Memphis to Kansas City on the day advertised and boarded the trains for Mammoth Springs, but when the tickets were presented they Were pronounced bogus; The negroes are greatly excited over the swindle and will lynch Anderson if he can be found. Ghastly Nest. HACKENSAOK, N. 1., Oct. 9. ——"l‘ho de- com posed body of John Erbur, a Bohemian silk Weaver of of Hackcnsack, who disap- peared two months ago, was found in the woods near Benjamin’s brick yard. His head was hanging at the end of a halter thrown over a limb. A litter of kittens was found nestled among the bones and clothes of the suicide, and birds had built a nest near by and lined it with hair taken from the head of the suicide. Dr. McFad- den thinks that Erbur has been dead two months. Fatal Wreck. READING, Pa., Oct. 9. —In a coal train wreck at Exeter station yesterday Edward F.

A Fallen Minister Ends His Career With a chauch. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 9.—-Wa1do Messros, who was once a. well known minister of this city and later of New York, died yes- terday in the German hospital. Mr. Messaros recently lost his church in New York and later domestic discord added to his troubles, his wife instituting a suit for divorce. This is said to have driven him to drink, and he had been dis~ sipating heavily lately. He had been stopping at the Washington hotel up to last Friday, when some-friends induced him to try the gold cure for drunk- enness. It is said that his friends found him lying on the floor of a room in the gold cure establishment sick and helpless. They sent for a physician, who pro- nounced his condition critical. He was sent at once in an ambulance. to the Ger. man hospital where his death occurred. Mr. Messaros who was about 43 years old will be chiefly remembered for his tur- bulent career as pastor of the Northwest- ern independent church of this city, which culminated shortly after in his arrest, trial and acquital on a charge of attempted as- sault on Mrs. Coulston, one of his parish- ioners. He was an eloquent speaker and was very popular as a platform lecturer. He claimed that he was born in Greece, but this was disputed by many, who held that his birthplace was in this country, and that the name of \Valdo Messaros was an assumed one. BISDIARCK’S JOURNEY HOBIE. Enthusiasm and Veneration All Along the Line from Kissingcn. BERLIN, Oct. 9.—Prince Bismarck has at last had suflicent strength to be re— moved from Kissingen to Friedrichsruh. Just before the train started, several bouquets were handed in to Princess Bis- marck. The departure of the train was the signal for outbursts of cheers and wishes for a safe journey. The same enthusiasm and veneration was displayed all along the line. People everywhere were eager to catch a glimpse of Bismarck. For the most part, however, he followed the advice of his physicians, and refused to see anybody. At Friedrichsruh the prince’s home.com~ ing was somewhat unexpected, as infor- mation of h’s departure from Kissingen had not reached there until late. The servants in the Bismarck household refused to be- lieve the news until nervspaper reporters assured them that they would soon see their master. . Bismarck stood the journey remarkably well and passed a fair night. Since his ur- rival messengers have been going to the castle incessantly with flowers. and tele- grams of congratulation and inquiry. Before the Bismarcks left Kissingen Prince Regent Luitpold sent to the princess 3. dls— patch expressing hissympathy with her in her joy over her husband’s recovery and in her hopes that his health wouldbo restored completely. . , . J: 5‘ .f, (-3 SteamshipiifiiissiaReports . llamas Five Deaths at Sea. E‘Two Cabin Passengers and Thrcein Cholera. But Dr. Jenkins Takes No Chances and Quarantines the. Ship. NEW YORK, Oct. . 9.—The steamship Rus- sia, from Hamburg, arrived at the quaran- tine station yesterday and reported five deaths during the voyage. Two Of the dead Were cabin passengers and three were in the steerage. The deaths are all said to be from natural causes, but Dr. Jenkins decided to detain the vessel, disinfect the baggage and take every precaution against cholera. The ship belongs to the Hamburg American packet company. She left Ham- burg Sep. 24 with a clean bill of health signed by Dr. “Units of the United States at that port to see that steerage passengers are quarantined five days and their baggage disinfected before they embark for this country. Captain G. Schmidt is in charge. She has 13 first cabin, 28 second cabin and 410 stecrnge passengers. When the Russia. dropped anchor, Dr. Snnborn, the boarding officer, went on board and learned from Dr. Hoffman, the ship’s surgeon, that there had been five deaths during the trip and other cases of illness, some of which had not yet recovered. There were two ship’s surgeons on the vessel and. a. doctor among the passengers, who was brought into con- sultation. Their story is as follows: , All the steerage passengers were quaran- ' 'tined at Hamburg five days in accordance with the regulations. The ship sailed on the24th. When one day out Catharine Luthge,-a cabin passenger, 47 years of age, was taken sick and died. Her brother-in- law, who accompanied her, said that sea , sickness and her weak condition caused her death. Thesecond case was Ida Stubbe, a child one year of age, belonging to a family from Mecklenburg and a passenger in the steerage. OILScp. 27 she was taken with diarrhoea and vomiting and died on the 28th. Dr. Hoffman diagnosed the case as one of cholera, infantum. The family to which the child belonged con- sisted of Gottfreid and Alwene Stubbe, father and mother of the-child, a brother Chnrles,“and Bertha Scheeh On the 30th the latter became ill with diarrhoea and vomiting. She Was isolated in the hospital. She died Oct. 5. '. . , On 30th Augusta Thomas,-from Solin- gen, a first-cabin passenger, 30 years of age, who was accompanied by her brother, became quite seasick, and ate some- thing which did not agree with her. She began to vomit and died immediately. Her brother stated her family is subject to heart disease, and this is given as the cause of death. “ - Whilhelm Schnutt, 15 years-of age, a steerage passenger, was taken ill on the 3d. The doctors diagnOsed his case as e'rysipe- 18.3 of the foot and leg. He died Oct. 7. All of those who died, except the last, were buried at Sea. ‘ j . ' The doctors on the ship said that they due to cholera. 'Dr. Sanborn reported to Dr. Jenkins, whoemade a personal . exam: ination of the vessel. He found her .to she in excellent condition and the passengers to be a clean looking lot, considerably above the average of immigrants. who come to this port. 'He decided to hold the tigation. ‘ with symptoms Of cholera and two sus- pects have been removed to Swinburne isl- and. ‘ ' ' LOUISIANA TERRORIZED. ' ‘ White Cups Set Out to Run the State. " NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 9,—Louisianas‘is again terrorized by regulators and in many parts of the state the people are calling for a special meeting of the legislature to cope with them unless Gov. Foster tnkesde mediate steps to suppres the outrages. " The Jefferson investigation ended in a fares and none of those implicated in the lynch- ing of the J uliens have been indicted. J. H. Ringgold of Catahoula parish and editor Of the Louisiana. Democrat, reached the city yesterday, bringing news of the appearance of white caps in - Catahoula parish, a part of Caldwell and and the eastern part of Grant. Gin houses through- out that section have been plastered with notices by regulators directing planters not to gin their cotton until the price had reached ten cents and threatening to burn the gin house of every planter who dares to disobey the midnight order of the regula tors Insurance representatives who had gone into north Louisiana. for the purpose of writing policies on gins and other prop- erty, upon learning of the spread of the white cap movement to the parishes men- tioned, concluded to make no effort to get business in that section; Fatal Fun. FREEPORT, N. Y., Oct. 9.—Henry D. PoWers of Baldwins, aged 24, was return- ing from Freeport about midnight with five young men. In a spirit of fun the young men picked up a large telephone pole lying in front of the residence of Car- mau Smith, lifted it to their shoulders and carried it about a hundred yards. _In throwing it to the ground all the others let go before Powors, and the Weight threw him to the ground, breaking. his neck and crushing the base of his skull.

BERLIN, Cdti‘”@.+hefore leaving Kis- singen Saturday mpg-fining Prince Bismarck received a dispatch fgqm King Humbert of Italy oflering him for as; J” lint/er residence the royal castle at Capodfgiome near Na- ples. Bismarck, although, die royal offer, expressed himself ' ‘igreatl touched by the king’s kindness.I tis un- derstood also that his reply to thofkingfs message left the way open for his fu‘thi‘e“ acceptance of the royal hospitality. "‘ ’1'“ “1 ping the f Bismarck’s dauntless resolution to get . wall and his determination not to submit to the treatment accorded to a dying man are his motives for refusing unusual fav- ors from any quarter. Just what his con- dition is it is difficult to learn. .The re- ports from day to day are entirely contra- dictory. Some of his old friends have as- certained, however. that he is taking keen interest in public affairs. In Kissiugen during last week be dictated communica- tions which have reached Herr von Ben- nigsen, leader of the national liberals, Baron V‘Vangenheim, leader of the agrarian league, and several other politicians. Probably some of these communications were merely answers to inquiries as to his health. Others are known to have a bearing upon impending political devel- opmcnts. ' The changes in the financinland foreign policy of the government might well arouse interest even in a dying man. The com- ing session of the reichstsg promises to test the firmness of Caprlvi’s position. more than did the last one. One strong influence against the government is the opposition to Dr. Miqnel’s scheme for the taxation of tobacco and wines. This may be enough to upset the whole project of financial reform. The tobacco revenue is calculated to produce a revenue of 40,000,- 000 marks. It was denounced by the offi- cial delegates to the financial conference as sure to prove absolutely ruinous to the German tobacco industry. This condem- nation in advance has already moved Miquel to revise the scheme, which even in its modified form will provoke a hot conflict. . The next grievance of the opposition will be the new naval credits, which now are estimated at 50,000,000 marks. The financial guarantees given by the govern- ment last week to prop Italy’s credit- in Berlin and the concessions Offered to Rus- sia in the present negotiations for a treaty of commerce render Caprivi’s partisans un- easy and his opponents furiously suspi- cious. Most of the party programmes for the general election in Prussia have been pub- lished. The free conservatives have issued a notably agrarian manifesto to the Prussian electors. It says that had her— vests and low prices, together with=the re- duction of the grain tariff, have ruined agriculture and have spread sociallstic and radical discontent to the point of demoral- izing the trade and menacing the social protective tariff and the rallying of conser- the manifesto, is the sole remedy for the threatening evils.
