4 i rm^t0u Itoum. R. C. DTJNN, Publisher. Terms:2.00 per year in advance. xne cmDan situation grows more ra vorable *wery day to the recognition st the revolutionists as belligerents by the government of the United States. Pugilist Corbett complains that he is not understood by the public. If that is the case it is certainly not "Gentle- man4" Jim's own fault. He has lost no opportunity of making his true character apparent to everybody within reach of telegraphic news. If the architect who planned Chi cago's coliseum to hold 40,000 people had builded a little better he would probably have been the cause of a ter rible calamity. Fortunately, his big trap tumbled down before it was com pleted, ar:d while all the workmen were absent. Sending an infernal machine through the mails in order to reach a pluto crat is the characteristic act of an anarchist. The chances are that some hard-working clerk or letter carrier will be killed, but this is of no conse quence to the anarchist. Have the legislators of England seen i great light? The advocates of wom an's suffrage number but 222 out of 670 in the present parliament, while in the last they were within thirty of a majority. This may be accident, but on the other hand it may be the working of the leaven of righteous ness. In one of Ella Wheeler Wilcox's lat est effusions she says that there are only two kinds of people in the world, those who lift and those who lean. It often happens that the verse of this singer contains more truth than poet ry, and this strikes us as a fair in stance of that peculiarity. The new man is rapidly developing that roundabout but insidious method of getting even which has been the sole resource of the fair sex for many years. When life becomes intolerable, you may sue your mother-in-law for trespass and, mayhap, get $20,000 for jour invaded precincts and your dam aged peace of mind. A learned etymologist is trying to trace the word "fad" through the Welsh language back to the Aryan root, from which the word "mad" also originated. It is far easier to believe that so modern a word is an abbrevia tion of fiddle-faddle, and one of those colloquial inventions that, in spite their popularity, are of unknown a? thorship. This year has been notable for disas ters in the Alps, several distinguished persons having lost their lives in mountain climbing. This comes from fool bardy ventures into unknown re gions of snow and ice without guides. Among the victims are Baron Egerz, of Munich, who attempted to ascend Parseyer Point alone. In view of our magnificent Ameri can scenery and the hundreds of beau tiful and interesting places which at home invite the touiist, it seems a pity that American visitors to London this summer have spent $20,000,000 in that metropolis alone. This is as noth ing to the much vaster sums expended this year by our countrymen and women 'n other portions of Great Biit ain and on the continent. Justin McCarthy, who still takes a hopeful view of Irish chances, says the Irish members of parliament do most of their quarreling when their friends are in powder. This is, unfortunately, true, and the circumstance is the re verse of hjpeful. The quarreling which they do for the next few years will not hurt the home rule cause greatly, for it would have no chance in any event in the present parliament. Chemists now have strong reason to believe that argon, the newly discov ered element of the atmosphere, is a mixture composed of two gases, one of which is entirely unknown, and the other identical with the gas obtained from the mineral cleveite, whose line In the spectrum is the same as that of helium in the sun. Some of the most skillful scientists are on the track of the unknown gas and are sure that they will be able to demonstrate its existence in a short time. Pedestrians who are astonished when run down by bicyclists do not know, of course, that a man weighing 150 pounds and moving at the rate of ten feet per second (or only about seven miles per hour) has a mo mentum of 1,500 pounds, exclusive of rthe weight of the wheel. A collision between two wheels, each with a 150- pound rider, spinning at the moderate speed of seven miles per hour, would result in a smash-up with a force of 3,000 pounds. It is easy to under stand, therefore, why bicycle acci dents are often so serious and why |great care should be taken to avoid them. A. PITH OF THE NEWS EVENTS OF THE2' PAST WEEK IN A CONDENSED FORM.

ATROCIOUS DEEDS COMMITTED BY THE SPANISH SOLDIERS. After Recapturing the City of Bafre From the Insurgents the Span iards Begin to Pillage the Town nd Commit Murders. New York, Sept. 7.Atrocities by Spaniards as revolting as those com mitted by the Japanese at Port Arthur have just been reported to the Cuban revolutionary party in New York. Enrique Trujilio,editor of El Porvenuv received a letter to-day from Juan Maspons Franco, chief of staff, under Gen. Gomez, the commander-in-chief of the insurgent army. It is dated "Headquarters, in the field, Aug. 3," and sends details of the capture and recapture of the city of Baire, and the massacre of 37 inoffensive Cubans mostly women and childrenby the Spaniards under Commander Garrido. On Tuesday morning, according to Col. Franco's letter, a company of in surgents under Jose Rabi, surprised the Spanish garrison in the fortress commanding the city of Baire, killed more than 70 men and took 56 prison ers. They captured a large quantity of arms and persuaded the prisoneis to enlist in the insurgent ranks. At an hour later three companies of Spanish troops, under command of Commander Garrido, came up, and after a short but sharp resistance, the Cubans fled, leaving the fortress again in the hands of the invaders. Soon after the fort had been re garrisoned with Spaniards, one of the companies broke loose and began to pillage the city. Commander Garrido himself, Col. Franco states, led the uniformed rioters. The Spaniards were wild for the spilling of blood. Every human creature who came in their path was ruthlessly slain. With in five minutes the streets of Baire were deserted by the panic stricken natives, but the Spaniards followed them into their homes and killed them in their own rooms. "Age, sex and condition were wholly disregarded by these liveried butchers," says Col. Franco. "Old and young women, chil dren, even infants, were slaughtered. Shocking indignities were offered to the unfortunate victims before and after death. The Spanish soldiers stamped on the bodies of those whom they had slain, and ground their heels Into the faces of many who were still alive. "Senorita Delores Maderia. a beauti ful girl of 18, betrothed to one of Capt. Rabi's lieutenants, was seized on the streets, cruelly beaten, repeatedly stabbed with bayonets and brutally insulted. One of Garrido's captains comanded the girl to renounce her Cuban lover, and swear loyalty to the Spanish government. She scornfully refused, whereupon the cantain struck her across the face with his sword, in flicting a terrible gash. With blood streaming down her face she taunted the Spaniards with their cowardice. Thereupon the maddened soldiers seized her, bound her hand and foot, threw a noose around her neck and' hanged her to a tree. The torture of Senorita Maderia was prolonged as much as possible. While she was still alive, but no longer conscious, tha body was riddled with bullets.*' 1 S A RED HIT.

Satolli Will Be Raised to the Cardinalate in December. St. Paul, Sept. 7.It has been an nounced from time to time in the press of the country that Mgr. Satolli, the papal ablegate, would soon be raised to the dignity of the cardinal ate. These rumors have cropped out afresh since the monsignor came to St. Paul to attend the dedicatory ex ercises of the Catholic seminary. A reporter called this morning upon Rev. Dr. O'Gorman, whose relations with the ablegate are very close and inti mate, and asked him if there were any basis, in fact for these reports. "Oh," said Dr. O'Gorman, "these are mere reports at bestsimply specula tions. No one knows anything about this matternot even the ablegate himselfsave the pope, and he is^not in the habit of giving out such in formation to the press long before the occurrence takes place." "What is your peisonal opinion in the matter?" inquired the reporter. "My personal opinion is that the monsignor will piobably be made a cardinal in the near future, but just when, of course, no one can tell,"' re plied the doctor. EARTHQUAKE IN HELENA.
