PONSOHBY DEAD.

Victoria’s Old Private Secretary Passes
Away at Cowes, Isle of Wight.

‘ Gowns, Isle of Wight, Nov. 22.—Sir Hen~
ry Ponsonby, formerly private secretary
to Queen Victoria and keeper of the privy
purse, died today of paralysis.

General the Right Hon. Sir Henry Fred-
erick Ponsonby, K. C. B., P. C., was born
at Corfu in 1825. His father was Major
General the Right Hon. Sir F. Ponsonby.
and his grandfather was third earl of
Bessborough. He was married in 1861 to
one of the queen’s maids of honor, the
eldest daughter of J. C. Bulteel. He had
three sons and a daughter, the latter, Al-
berta Victoria, being the wife of Colonel
William Edward Montgomeryof the Scots
guards. His eldest son, John, is a lieu-
tenant in the Coldstream guards; his sec~'
and son, Frederick, is a lieutenant in the
Grenadierguards; the third son, Arthur,
was a page of honor to the queen from
1882 to 1887 and is now an attache in the
diplomatic service. -

Sir Henry was educated at the Royal
Military college, Sandburst. At the age
of 17 he was appointed ensign to the
Forty-ninth regiment and was subse-
quently ' transferred to the Grenadier
guards and appointed aid-de-camp to the
lord lieutenant of Ireland. He was made
private secretary to the Earl of Clarendon
In 1849 and held similar positions under
Lords St. Germans and Carlisle while
riceroys of Ireland. In 1855 Sir Henry
joined the Grenadier guards in the Crimea
and served at the siege of Sevastopol. At
the conclusion of the war he was appoint~
ed equerry to the prince consort, which
poSition he held until the prince died. He
then went to Canada, where he command-
ed a battalion of the Grenadier guards.
He was appointed private secretary to the
queen on April 8, 1870, and in October,
1878, was made keeper of the privy purse.

Sir Henry was a member of the privy
council, knight of the Grand Cross of the
Order of the Bath, knight of the third
class of the Order of Medjidieh and receiv-
er general of the duchy of Lancaster. He
was stricken with paralysis in January
last and has been suffering from that ail-
ment ever since. '

‘ HOW SPANIARDS FIGHT.

l‘en ‘Vomen and a. Dozen Children Mur-
dered by. Alleged Soldiers.

TAMPA, Fla, Nov. 22.-——Colonel Fer-
nando Figueredo, the Cuban leader, of this
city, is in receipt of a letter from Havana
giving details of atrocities alleged to have
been committed by Spaniards in Mutan-
zas province. Colonel Melino, who com-
mands a. Spanish regiment, recently en-
countered the advance guard Bf Gomez’s
army in Matanzas and was defeated.
While soldiers under Melino were in retreat
they met a group of women and children
near a little town called Gayopino. As
the soldiers passed, one of the women
made a sneering remark about the Span-
iards. The remark was overheard by the
soldiers, and so enraged them that they
fell upon the wOmen and children and
butchered every one of them. There were
ten women and about a dozen children in
the group. The letter says that the Span-
iards after shooting down their victims
stabbed them with bayonets, inflicting the
most horrible wounds.

One baby was killed at its mother’s
breast, and ,the bullet that passed through
the infant also passed through the moth-
or. Colonel Melino made no report of the
butchery, but it happened that two of the
women murdered were wives of Spaniards
engaged in the sawmill business in Matan-
zas. When the husbands learned how their
loved ones had been slaughtered, they
wrote to Martinez de Campos, informing
him of the horrible affair, and demanding
that Colonel Melino be punished.

It is said that Do Campos has ordered
that Melino be court martialed, and it is
thought the butcherer will be sentenced to
death, as the massacre is condemned as
bitterly by Spaniards as by Cubans.

Sydney Slocom Extradited.
HAMILTON, Ont, Nov. 22.—Jndge Sni-
der has granted the application for the
extradition of Sydney Slocom, wanted in
Peoria, Ills., for attempting to murder
Peter Hansen.

N0 Progress Toward Settling the! Big
Strike Iii New York.

STRIKERS ARE DETERMINED.

They Have Plenty of Money and Declare
That |They “’11! _Fight It Out if It
Takes All \Vinter—New Men Join
the Honsesmiths" Union.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22 —The striking
mousesmiths have completely tied up 18
large buildings.

That was the situation today in the
great struggle bewtoen the Housesmiths’
and Bridgemen’s union and the Iron
league.

The union is now waiting for the Iron
league to make a move, while nearly 20,-
000 workmen, thrown into enforced idle-
ness by the strike, are anxiously awaiting
the outcome of the battle.

Besides the 1, 200 housesmiths on strike,

‘ thousands of mechanics and laborers, em-

ployees of building material manufactur-
ers and others required directly and indi-
rectly in the construction of the buildings,
are idle.

These workmen include hoisting engi-
neers, derrickmen, stonccutters, granite
cutters, bricklayers and their helpers, plas-
terers and helpers, electrical workers and
helpers, carpenters, painters and steamflt.
tors and helpers.

The union men on strike in sympathy
'with the housesmiths include the men in
all the trades except the bricklayers, who
are not affiliated with the other union men
because of an agreement with their em-
ployers.

The strike of the hoisting engineers, the
men who operate the portable engines used
in hoisting building material, forced the
bricklayers and their helpersto quit.

The strike of the derrickmen also stop-
ped the lifting of heavy iron columns and
girders, and the few nonunion house-
smiths who were at work yesterday were
unable to proceed today. '

The strikers were prepared to have all
the electric lights out ofi' in the event of
any attempts to perform work at night.

Delegate William Quong of Electrical
Workers No. 3 had given the members of
his organization instructions to out off all
electric wire work on poles where nonun-
ion housesmiths were employed. This was
done at the request of the housesmiths.

A few housesmiths who arrived here to-
day from other cities joined the strikers at
Clarendon hall instead of accepting jobs
that the Messrs. Cornell and Millikan of-
fered them.

The Strikers’ Views.

“They cannot get anywhere near men
enough from other cities to do the work. ”
said President Frank P. Lary of the
Housesmiths’ and Bridgemen’s union to.
day. ‘

“All the jobs of our opponents are tied
up. We are waiting the league’s action.
Its members must either settle with our
union or let their jobs stand idle.

“We are prepared to fight it out on this
line if it takes all winter. ” was the final
declaration of the president of the union.

“Owners of the buildings affected by
the strike are very urgent, in most cases,
that the work shall proceed, so that the
structures may be completed and ready
for occupancy by next spring," said Dele-
gate Lenagian of the Housesmiths’ and
Bridgemen’s union.

“Now, will the league, or rather Messrs.
Cornell and Millikan, let their men remain
idle, or will they pay us fair wages and
recognize our organization? That is their
sole alternative.” .

It was learned that Siegel, Cooper &.
Co., the merchants who are to occupy the
immense fireproof iron structure at Sixth
avenue and Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets, are desirous of having the build.
ing finished as soon as possible. and Mil—
liken Bros. had made extensive prepara-
tions to push forward the ironwork by
employing an extra large force of skilled
housesmiths day and night, the work after
dark to be done by electric lights.

Siegel, Cooper & 00., it is said, are dis-
posed to establish friendly relations with
the great body of organized workers in
this city.

Union men are therefore inclined to be-
lieve that this firm and other large dry
goods merchants in this city will use their
influence upon Contractors Cornell and
Milliken to settle the strike without delay.

Hope of Arbitrators.

The executive committee of the Iron
league having met the strike commis-
sioners of the state board of arbitf‘ation
and mediation at the Murray Hill hotel,
“only as a matter of courtesy,” according
to President Cornell of the league, it is
now thought likely that the board will

. shortly begin an investigation of the
strike and obtain‘all the facts relating to
it from both sides.

The committee of the league. besides
Mr. Cornell, included Maigrs. Eils, Coo.
per. Lyon and Henley. '

“The league committee came here at
our invitation,” said Chairman Purcell.
“We cannot tell what was said. If it ap-
pears necessary to order an investigation,
we have the power to subpoena witnqsses
on both sides. We have hopes that such a
course will not be necessary. "

Mr. ,Purcell would not express an Opin-
ion as to the possible outcome of the con-
ference with the league’s committee.

There was some talk of extending the
strike of the housesmiths to all jobs where-
on members of the Iron league have con-
tracts, thus calling out 600 or 800 more
iron workers employed by firms whose
men are now at work.

“We will not make another move until
we see what will be the effect of the strike
now in progress, ” said President Lary.
“We will act quickly when we think an
emergency has arisen. ”

Strikers Have Funds.

The union has a fat treasury, and its
officers claim to be able to maintain all
the strikers for an indefinite period, longer
than the strike is likely to last, they think.
The strikers appear contented and have
thus far found r - fault was: the manage-
ment of affair "he? 9.-.: sanguine of

nearly so, and waters of buildings

complete them as soon as possible. They
also rest easy in the belief that the strike
is a just one. ,

While the union was being organized
' every member paid his initiation fee of $5,
and assessments have been regularly made
for a strike fund. Besides this, money
will be contributed by other unions, and
the men of the Housesmiths"-and Bridge-
men’s union who remain at work will
contribute largely to the support of those

 

on strike. For this reason it is not likely
the strike managers will call out the un-
ion men at work for other iron firms.‘

The Champion Incompetent Appears

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 22.—Matters po-
litical do not look as bright today as they
did yesterday. The apparent determina‘
tion of the sultan to act energetically in
suppressing the disorders in Asia Minor
had a decidedly good effect here and else-
where, and the troubles which threatened
to cause the disruption of the Turkish gow
ernment were looked upon as almost end-
ed. But a further jarring has occurred,
and it is once more Bahri Pasha who is
the disturbing element. This notorious
official made himself so conspicuous by
his cruelty to Armenians and maladmin-
istration of his district when governor of
Van that the British embassador, Sir
Philip Currie, insisted upon his removal.
After considerable correspondence on the
subject, plain evidence of the pasha’s un-
fitness for his post having been furnished
to the sultan, the latter removed the pasha.
Bahri, however, brought the strongest in-
fluence to bear upon Abdul Hamid, pro-
tested his entire innocence of the charges
against him, claimed that his removal was
brought about by the intrigues of the Ar-
menians, and eventually he was not only
forgiven, but was decorated with the Or-
der of the Osmanli and complimented
upon his efforts to suppress disorder.

Soon afterward it was ‘rumored that
Bahri Pasha was to be appointed to com-
mand the large force of Turkish troops
being concentrated with difliculty at Ma-
rash in order to move upon Zeitun, which
is held by the Armenians in force, after
having captured the Turkish garrison
there, consisting of about 400 men, with
their arms, ammunition and supplies.

. A Storm of Indlgnation.

This report raised Siish a storm of in-
dignation in diplomatic and other circles
here that the sultan was compelled to
change his mind, if he really had formed
the determination to place Bahri in com-
mand of the troops at Marash, which is
believed to be the case, and the matter
was almost forgotten.

Now, howover, the storm has burst
again, for Bahri Pasha has been appointed
military commander of the Aleppo dis-
trict. The bad impression which this has
produced can hardly be exaggerated, for
the‘diplomats feel it will be almost impos-
sible to prevent him from pusuing the
same tactics at Aleppo as he did at Van,
and which caused Sir Philip Currie to de-
mand his recall, in which case the Chris-
tians of the Aleppo district will suffer
most severely for their outbreaks against
Turkish rule.

When the news of Bahri Pasha’s ap-
pointment to the military command of
Aleppo was confirmed, the representatives
of the powers held a meetinu and discussed
the matter from all its standpoints. The
result was that they joined in a note to
the Turkish government, saying that they
cannot answer for the consequences which
might ensue should the Armenians of
Zeitun be massacred after their surren-
der, which the Armenian patriarch, at the
instance of the representatives of the pow-
ers, is endeavoring to bring about in order
to prevent further bloodshed.

In order to understand the situation
thoroughly, it should be explained that
Aleppo, although situated about 75 miles
distant from Marash, which is about 15
miles from Zeitun, is the capital of the
vilayet of Haleb, in which both Marash
and Zeitun are situated.

Significance of Bahrl's Appointment.

It w ll thus be seen that while the sul-
tan, a rmed at the disapproval which the

mar caused, refrained from appointing
Bahri Pasha to the immediate command
of the Turkish troops being concentrated
at Marash for the purpose of reducing the
Armenians of Zeitun to subjection, he
has made Bahri Pasha military command
or of the Aleppo district, which will not
urally give him control over the command.
or of the Turkish troops at Marash, for,
as already stated, Marash is in the mili—
tary district of which Aleppo is the capi-
tal.

A dispatch received here from Aleppo
says that the greatest feeling of alarm still
prevails there, and this is the only news
obtainable from the provinces. Possibly
under instructions from the ports the sup-
ply of news from Asia Minor during the
past 48 hours has simmered down to the
Aleppo dispatch just referred to. This fact
is causing some further uneasiness.

This uneasy feeling is intensified by the
fact that hurried and frequent councils of
the ministers are being held at the palace,
and some plain language is said to have
been indulged in by the sultan. That a
sweeping out of the present cabinet is con-
templatcd nobody doubts. Indeed people
are astonished that it did not take place
when the sultan underwont his change of
mind as a result of the assembling of the
for’eign fleets.

The British fleet is still at Salonica, and
the French and Italian fleets are at

Smyrna and Saloni-ca, however, are about

Dardanelles.

The British embassador is still away
from his post. The latest news from him
received at the embassy located him at
Vienna, but Sir Philip is expected here by
the end of the week. He is said to be the
bearer of‘ a letter from _ the Marquis of
Salisbury in reply to the letter which the
sultan sent to London upon ihe'sltuation
of afl'airs in Asia Minor.

Escort For Missionaries.

The United States ambassador, Mr.
Alexander W. Terrell, at the request of
the American missionaries at Kharput.
has prevailed upon the Turkish govern-
ment to telegraph orders to the Turkish
commander at Kharput to furnish the

Black sea coast, possibly Trebizond, in or-
der that they may embark for this city.
Mr. Terrell has also advised the mission-
gries in order disturbed districts to retire

 

Smyrna, about 200 miles from Salonica. '

an equal distance from the entrance to the ‘

missionaries with an escort of troops to .
conduct them to the nearest point on the '

from theiT posts for‘a' tifieTfi Safer that
their presence may not be made the ex-
cusefor further disorder; It is believed
that this suggestion will be adopted in
several cases at least.

The city is quieter than it has been for
some time past. The police have released
several additional batches of Armenians,
and the latter are reopening their stores
and circulating freely about the thorough-
fares. This looks Well and,seems to indie
cate that matters must be in a more satis-
factory state than for some time past, al-
though people here would feel easier if
more news was obtainable from the provh
inces.

The Armenian patriarch, as well, as the
sultan, has undergone a healthy change of
mind as a result of the advice he has re«
ceived from the representatives of the
powers. He has, as already cabled, been
strongly advised to co-operate with the
Turkish authorities in their efforts to re-
store order, and it is understood that it
has been plainly intimated to that prelate
, that the Armenians need not look for the
sympathy of Europe if they continue caus«
ing outbreaks against the authority of the
sultan. It is also understood that the rep-
resentatives of the powers insist that the
Armenian clergy throughout Asia Minor
must cooperate with the Turkish officials
in suppressing the state of anarchy which
has existed in many districts for months
past.

So far as known, there has been no
change in the attitude of the powers to-
ward Turkey since the era of reform was
apparently really inaugurated, and except‘.
ing the Bahri Pasha incident there is no
‘fresh trouble in sight.

Abdul’s Kind Ofi‘er.

LONDON, Nov. 22.—The Manchester
Guardian today says that it is reported
that in the communication from the sul-
tan of Turkey read by the Marquis of
Salisbury on Tuesday at Brighton, Eng-
land, before the National Union of Con-
servative associations, the sultan offered,
after the execution of the reforms in Ar-”
menia, to visit London and other Euro-
pean capitals for the purpose of arriving
at a complete understanding with the
powers relative to‘ the future administra~
tion of the Ottoman empire.

The Austrian View.

BUDAPEST, Nov. 22.—In the diet today,
replying to a question regarding the situ-
atin of chairs in Asia Minor, the premier,
Baron Banffy, said that the representa-
tions of the ambassadors of the powers at
Constantinople had led to a gratifying re—
sult. The porte had displayed an earnest
intention to restore tranquillity in the dis-
turbed district and to protect the Chris-
tians. He added that the most complete
unanimity of opinion prevailed on this
subject among the powers.

. Powers Are Harmonious.

PARIS, Nov. 22.—At a cabinet council
today the minister for foreign affairs, M.
Berthelot, said that the information which
he received from various sources did not
justify the alarmist reports in the French
press. The agreement between the pow-
ers, he added, was revealing itself with
the utmost clearness and persistency.

A Girl Charged With Arson.

BROOKLYN, Nov. 22.——Gussie Becker,
18 years old, was arrested on suspicion of
being an incendiary. The girl was ac-
cused of setting fire to a house by Mrs
Lena Tieman, whose husband keeps a
tailor’s shop there. Gussie, who was em-
ployed by Mrs. Tieman as a servant, had
a quarrel with her mistress. Shortly aft-
erward flames were seen.
