VOLUME LXXVIII.-NO. 52. FIRED UPON A TUG The George W. Childs Stopped by a Reve nue Cutter. CHASED BY THE McLANE. Cannon Brought Into Play to Compel the Fugitive to Heave-To. TAKEN FOR A FILIBUSTER. Boarded by Government Officers While En Route From Key West to Jamaica. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 21.— A cablegram from Key West, Fla., to the Times-Union says: ' » This city was greatly excited this after noon by hearing reports of cannon and it was soon learned that the revenue cutter McLane was firing on the tug George W. Childs, which left this morning. Soon after leaving the Collector of Customs, upon information of the Spanish Consul, ordered the McLane to overtake the Childs and bring her back to port. It is rumored that a deckhand by the name of William Lynch, who was shipped at Jamaica, had furnished the Consul with information to the effect that she was bound on a filibus tering expedition. Lieutenant Hay says that the signals were set for the Childs to heave-to, but no attention was paid to them, and seeing no chance of overtaking her two Eolid shots and one shell were fired before she came about. She was boarded by a crew from the cutter, with Lieutenant Hays in com mand, and brought into port about 3 o'clock. Captain Swain of the Childs is very in dignant at being fired upon and says that he knows no reason why such action should be taken. He says that he was properly entered for his trip to Jamaica, and while some slight irregularities did exist in his crew list it was owing to the fault of his brokers at Philadelphia and had been settled at the Custom-house here. He sailed from Jamaica on ;June 12 and after touching at Point Salina and Barra hena for repairs sailed for Key West, where he arrived on the 3d. He was ordered to Tortugas to be fumigated and after remaining there seven days came back to Key West. He said that yesterday about noon he cleared his tug for New York, having first surrendered his register and taken out his enrollment and coasting licenses, and., that shortly before leaving the assistant engineer reported to him that he saw a party offer Lynch some money and he was informed by Lynch that it was $200 to corroborate what the fireman had reported and.that his answer was that he knew nothing and could say nothing. The captain sent a deckhand shipped at this port to find out the person who was talk ing to Lynch. He returned, statine that Lynch was then talking to the Spanish Consul. The entire Cuban population turned out to visit the Childs this afternoon. . '- DEFEATED BY SPANIARDS Five Hundred Cubans Killed and Wounded in a Des perate Fight. An Attempt to Capture General Campos Repulsed by His Forces. HAVANA, Cuba, July Further de velopments have been made public of the recent battles between insurgents and Gov ernment troops between Manzanillo and Bayamo. ' Captain-General Martinez Campos left Manzanillo for Bayamo with 1000 troops. On June 30 his force was ambushed by 7000 insurgents near Valenzuela. The Spanish forces were under the command of Brigadier-General Santocildes. who was the military commander of the Manzanillo district. The Spanish troops fought bravely, again and again repelling the fierce charges of the rebels. It was thought that the principal object of the attack was to secure General Campos. The troops formed a hollow square about him, thoroughly determined that he should not be taken unless it was over their dead bodies. The battle lasted seven hours. * During one of the charges General Santocildes was killed. General Campos then took com mand of the troops and finally succeeded in defeating the rebels. The insurgents left 500 dead and wounded on the field. Among the dead were the leaders Rabi and Moncada. The Government loss was seventy-two killed, including two officers, and a number wounded.

TORONTO, Ont., July 21.— Distinguished delegates to the Pan-American Congress occupied numerous city pulpits to-day. There was no business session, but there was a very largely attended meeting at Massey Music Hall, the largest hall in the city, this afternoon, at which the question of missions was discussed.

LIQUOR IN THE MELONS New York Negroes Manage to Evade the Sunday Law. Beer Carried Away From the Sa loons In Innocent Looking: : ""Growlers." -.•,'C.'-- NEW YORK, N.Y., July 21.-Commis sioner Roosevelt's ' ukase caused another dry Sunday to-day. A man looking for a drink had to be "solid" with some saloon keeper or else went thirsty. Hotel guests were the only exceptions— and a guest meant anybody who ordered a meal. Every police captain hustled to the extent of his ability to keep saloons closed. In uptown , cafes rooms ' were arranged where old customers were served drinks undisturbed, and at hotel cafes sandwiches were ordered by "regulars' as a matter of necessity. Big restaurants and drugstores with soda. fountains were undisturbed, the police confining their attentions to the saloons. ';"■ i'V> - West Side saloon-keepers did a "growler" trade, which they regarded as safe. It was in the old "tenderloin" district, in the midst of a colored population. Here nearly every family has at this season a fine watermelon in the icebox Saturday night. The luscious pails were scooped out, the rinds preserved whole and used to conceal "growlers." Into and out of one saloon on Twenty-seventh street, near Sev enth avenue, half a hundred watermelons were carried by colored persons during the day and not one was molested by the po licemen. Considerable surreptitious beer and liquor selling was done. KIDXAPED A BRIDE. Excitement Over a Bold . Coup in an Illinois Village.

IN THE BANNOCK COUNTRY. : : ■ " ' '■' ■ ;• ••- - : s The Reds May Have Taken Revenge for the Recent Defeat by Settlers. CHICAGO. 111., July 21.— A special from Denver," Colo., says: It is feared that a party of Princeton students have fallen into the hands of the Bannock Indians. Nearly two weeks ago the students forming the geological expe dition went through Union Pass, and since telegrams have been received for them without affording any means of delivery. They were on their way to National Park, and due on their return trip about the end of July. They are in a dangerous country, and if they are alive the fact remains that the Government has recently stirred to great activity, as orders were received yesterday at Fort Washakie for the send ing of troops. There are only forty-three men at the post, and the expedition can not be very formidable, but it is the"; best that the army can do. Reports from Jacksons Hole are that there are fully 300 Indians assembled there and of the number • there are fifty Sho shones from the Wyoming reservation. Another report from Fort Washakie says that the two Indian police and judges who were sent to Jacksons Hole nearly two weeks ago have returned. They were forcibly detained by the Bannocks and had to escape by strategy. RICHARDS XOT- ALARMED. Wyoming's Governor Discredits the Ru mored Capture. CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 21.— Anxious inquiries were received here this evening from Eastern friends of the nineteenth annual geological survey from Princeton College, now making a trip in Eastern Wyoming. **, y"T; ; - ' Governor Richards, to whom the mes sages of inquiry were sent is sure that no harm has befallen the students. The fight between the settlers and the Bannock In dians took place on July 4in the, Jackson Hole" region, near (he western Wyoming line , directly south of | the \ Yellowstone National Park. , On July 5 the Princeton students were in Lander, over 100 miles from the trouble, and there they remained' for several days. The country over which' they were to travel is comparatively well settled, and is within easy reach of the Fort Washakie Post, where there are two companies of United States infantry and a number of Indian police. It is believed here that there is no truth in the reported massacre of the students, or the War Department would have been so informed and the executive of the State uotiried that troops had been ordered out. A definite report is expected to-morrow from Adjutant-General Stitzer, who is in the Jackson' Hole region making an inves tigation of the troubles. AXXIEIY AT PRIXCETOX.

Blackburn, a national figure in the silver fight, returned to Washington from Kentucky Saturday and Registered at Page's, but. has thus far. maintained the strictest secrecy as to the object of his visit.

Comptroller Bowler is disposed to question the constitutionality of"- the law, and asks for a special legal hearing, all; of which is annoying to the sugar people. Therefore it is" hot unreasonable" to suppose that Sen- tor Blackburn's presence here at this time has some ! special bearing on the sugar bounty payment. v/ It is probable also that matters con nected with the Senatorial : canvass bring Senator Blackburn to Washington. There are rumors to the effect that some -of Sen ator .Blackburn's friends in the depart ments are in danger of dismissal because" of their loyalty to the Kentucky advocate of free silver, and it is said that the Senator intends to learn the truth of these rumors and protect his friends.'

STRUCK IN THE DARK The Maria P Went Down Be fore Her Lifeboats Could Be Lowered. FEW PASSENGERS WERE SAVED. Carelessness of the Ortlgla's Off leers Said to Have Caused the Disaster. LA SPEZZIA, Italy, July 21.-A ter rible accident/ resulting in the loss of 148 lives, occurred near the mouth of , the Gulf of . Spezzia to-day. At 1:30 o'clock this 2 morning the ; steamers I Ortigia : and Maria P ran into each other, and the latter vetsel was so badly damaged that she sank in a very short; time. ;. ' • ''^ s ' The Maria P. had on board, in addition to her crew, 178 passengers bound from Naples for the River Platte, by far the larger part of whom were emigrants. The night was pitch 'dark when the collision occured, and the scene on board the sink ing T steamer was heart-rending. Most of the passengers were asleep in the -bunks at time, and were awakened by the crash ing of the steamer's plates, deck beams and deck planks. - They were panic-stricken, and rushed pell-mell on deck where they ran hither and thither, calling upon the saints to save them. . From the reports of the disaster received here it is impossible to determine whether any attempt wwars r made by the Maria P to clear' away and launch i her small boats to attempt to rescue the passengers. Judg ing from the accounts given by the excited survivors it is 'surmised that the steamer went down too quickly to allow of this being done, though one boat got away.; The blackness : of the night added to the terror of' those on board, and it is under stood that some of the passengers, crazed by fear, jumped overboard. .' The force of the collision was terrific. The Ortigia struck the Maria P. squarely on the starboard side, and her stem pene trated the ill-fated steamer for .a distance of eighteen feet. When she backed /out, a great volume of water poured through the orifice, and the vessel began, almost imme diately to settle. : ){' : : :-> .. ,T : :;.,..■ . \ No mention is made of the Ortigia lower ing boats to attempt j a rescue of the im- : periled passengers , 1 'of '?■ the > Maria"; «P.

Let the man have the cour age to come and take me where I stand." | There was an immediate cry of "out rage !" from the congregation, -but the offi cer .walked up the aisle of the church s and took his man.

BERLIN, Germany, July 21.— The Em peror is making the most of his pleasure trip to Sweden, losing no opportunity to enjoy himself thoroughly. He reached Hersosand ■on board the imperial yacht Hohenzollern on Friday, and on Saturday took a trip on an excursion steamer up the River An^erman, the loveliest stream in Sweden. He returned late in the after noon, and enjoyed a dramatic entertain ment on board the Hohenzollern in the evening. His Majesty yesterday gave orders to get everything ready on board the Hohenzollern to sail at once, his trip to the northward having ended. Through out his trip he has declined to be regarded as a State guest, and refused to coun tenance any public demonstration in his honor. He declined a formal reception at the hands of the authorities, and spent the greater part of the day while there in dic tating dispatches. It is surmised from in cidents that those dispatches relate in some way to the situation in Bulgaria, growing out of the murder of Stambuloff. Whether or not the friendship of the Emperor for King Oscar had the effect of impressing the majority in ' the Swedish Storting with the necessity for proceeding with caution it is a fact that the tension between the King ancj the Storting has greatly .relaxed, and an effort is being made to form a coalition Ministry, com posed chiefly of Moderates. The King is greatly gratified at finding that his oppo nents have conceded the royal grants in the shape in which he demanded them. The only disturbing rumor now abroad is that a committee of Radicals have pri vately agreed to make a proposition in the Storting for an extraordinary credit for 11,500,000 kroner for the purpose of buying two ironclad warships, three torpedo-boats ? and a quantity of new rifles and ammuni tion, and the construction of fortified posts "at- Tdensberg, Christiansand, Bergen' and Drontheim. j Whether or not this rumor is correct in detail there is no doubt that some such project is on foot. In the meantime the Radicals are keeping very quiet and abiding events. The recent German and Dutch naval demonstrations at Tangier, which were' forced upon both by outrages committed upon German and Dutch subjects in Morocco, seemed likely to cause a serious quarrel with France. The murder of a German trader named ■ Rockskop and the plundering of the Dutch brig Marie Anna a short time ago led 1 at first to diplomatic representations which proved to be futile. These were followed by the presence of four German and two Dutch warships in Moorish waters, whereupon the Sultan promised to execute the murderers or somebody else and also to pay an indem nity. This having been reported to the Berlin Government orders were imme diately sent to German warships to remain in Moorish waters until both the German and the Dutch indemnities were paid. The German Consul at Tangier acted in behalf of the Dutch Government in the affair and the fact obviously inspired the recent articles in the Paris Journal dcs Debata warning Germany to keep her hands off Morocco if- she desired to maintain good relations with France. . The Yossische Zeitung, replying to these articles, called upon the Berlin Govern ment to give a fitting reply to the inso fence of . France if the question should be raised officially.
