Magallanes end government torpedo ves
sels Bargeant Aides, Con cell and Lynch,
four days after the nazal engagement
between the two vessels Ia Charanal bay.
The Magallanes wit? rictorious in the
Cbsrsnsl engafeem.t, and at once de
cided to pursue the government vessels
and if possible destroy them before they
could be refitted for sea. The crews of the
government vessel* did not suspect that
the attack would be renewed so soon, and
the presence of three foreign ships
of war in the harbor seemed to
make them imagine their safety
wis more secure. The Magallanes
stole into the harbor at night, and ranging
alongside the crippled A Idea, poured a
broadside into her, killing nearly half of
the crew, and completely riddled her, dis
mounting her guns. The alarm was
sounded in the forts, but the vessels lay so
close together.that the gunners in the forts
dared not fire for fear of hitting their own
vessels. The Magallanes next attacked
the Lynch, which returned her lire. A
boat which had been sent from the Lynch
with ten men to attack the
Magallanes with a torpedo was blown
out of the water, and the smoke
stack of the Lynch was carried away.
In the meantime the Condell steamed to
the outside of the Magallanes, thns getting
the latter between two fires. The Magal
lanes was shot through and through, and
oyer forty of her crew were soon dead or
dying. The night was dark, and
her captain resorted to a ruse to
escape from his. dangerous posi
tion. The Magallanes ceased firing
and went astern, leaving the two govern
ment vessels pouring shot into each
other until the Condell began filling
badly. The trick was not discovered
until the Magallanes had crossed the
stem of the Condell, pouring in a broad
side that nearly demolished the latter,
dismounting every gun and killing four
teen and wounding six of the Condell's
crew. The Magallanes then steamed
pt of the harbor, followed by a
shower of shot and shells, one
of which exploded on her decks,
tearing a big hole, dismounting a pivot
gun, and killing four men. The vessel
then steamed to Caldea. The fight was
one of the hottest of the war, and over
1,000 men were killed and many wonnded.
The Condell bad to be beached to prevent
her sinking, and the Aldea was so badly
damaged that it will take a long time to
repair her. The Lynch was also badly
damaged, and in addition to the loss of
half her crew, four out of six officers were
killed, including her commander.

WAS GREEN DRUNK AT RACES?
Gordon Cammtog*s Brother Says th(
Accused Had St. Vitas Dance and
Bandied Chips Xerfonily.
Losdos, June 4.—The interest in the
baccarat scandal trial continues unabated.
The usual crowd of fashionable people
were present when the court opened this
morning on the fourth day of the case.
Arthur Stanley Wilson was the first wit
ness. His cross-examination was con
tinued. It commenced with a long and
not very interesting discussion as to the
positions of the tables used in sitting at
baccarat. Id the course of the cross
examination the fact was elicited that the
counters used in the baccarat games at
Tranbycroft were the property of the
Prince of Wales, and were carried about
by him when visiting country houses.
Berkeley Levett, one of the defendants
in the case, was the next witness. Lieuten
ant Levett was very nervous. His testi
mony in substance confirmed that of young
Mr. Wilson in regard to what took place
at Tranbycroft on Septemper 8, 9 and 10.
The lieutenant told of hfs visit to Cam
ming and of the latter's request whether
he (Levett) "could not say he was mis
taken in what he saw ?"
To this the lieutenant replied: "I could
say I was mistaken, for your sake and for
the sake of the regiment, but I know one
man who would not do so, and that is
Berkeley Green." The cross-examination
of Lieutenant Levett by Clark did not re
sult in developing any important points,
and utterly failed to shake the lieutenant's
testimony.
There was a decided sensation in court
during Levetts cross-examination, t iark
asked a question in regard to the lieuten
ant's refreshments, which were partaken
of during the baccarat playing at Tranby
croft, and apparently reached such danger
ous ground that Lord Chief Justice Cole
ridge felt himself compelled to interrupt
the cross-examination by inquiring rather
severely whether he desired to convey to
the jury the impression that the hospital
ity of Tranbycroft in September last was
of the nature of "disturbing hospitality."
So far as regarded the game, Sir Edward
Clark, in reply, admitted that he did.
Green was the next witness. In sub
stance, Green's testimony confirmed the
evidence of his brother-in-law, Arthur
Wilson, as to the occurrences which took
place at Tranbycroft in September last.
Witness had hardly commenced to give
an interesting portion of his testimony
when the lord chief justice gave the signal
for recess for luncheon. Upon the re
assembling of the court after luncheon the
foreman of the jury handed the lord chief
justice a threatening and abusive note
which he had just received. Green, who
had just re-entered the witness box, said
he bad also received a note. The lord
chief justice read the letter handed to him
by the foreman of the jury, and assured
him that it would receive due attention.
The examination of Green was then con
tinued. Green gave a graphic description
of the events which took place the second
evening at Tranbycroft. He said that
when he saw the plaintiff put extra
counters over the line when he, Sir William,
saw a card favorable, his (Green's) first im
pulse was to expose the plaintiff, but as the
Prince of Wales and ladies were present
he desisted and left the room. Some time
later he sent to Mrs. Wilson, saying: "I
have distinctly seen Sir William Gordon
Cumming cheating twice. I cannot re
main in the room any longer. Something
ought to be done to stop the game." Sub
sequently, said Mr. Green, he asked to be
confronted with Sir William Gordon Cum
ming, and the latter denied his guilt.
Green was cross-examined by Gill, who
managed to considerably liven up the
proceedings. Gill began by asking witness
a number of questions as to his duties on
the days of the races, and witness replied
in substance that they consisted in enter
taining the race party. Gill thereupon re
marked that luncheon was going on all
afternoon, perhaps. To this witness an
grily replied: "Do you hint that I was
drunk?" The question was followed by
loud laughter in the court, and by "No,
No," from Gill. The lord chief justice
here interposed, saying he did not under
stand the drift of the cross-examination
as conducted by Gill. The latter promptly
replied: "Perhaps the jury understands.
There is much more in this case than is
seen on the surface."
Mrs. Lycett Green was the next witness.
Her testimony agreed with the previous
witnesses. She positively declared that
she had not mentioned the unpleasant in
cident to anyone but her husband until
legal action was brought.
WASHISGTOJI CITT. June 4.—Alestar Pen
rose Uordon Cumming, a brother o( Sir
William Gordon Cumming, has lived
for the past twelve years in Car
rol county, Md., about forty miles
Irom Baltimore. He has received
several letters from Sir William, in which
the lieutenant-colonel of Scots Guards de
clared his innocence of the aliegid bac
carat cheating, and says that he will
tight the matter to the bitter end.
Mr. Gordon Cumming. referring to
his brother's alleged mode of play,
says Sir William has since early youth
been atiected with a slight touch of St. Vi
tus dance, inherited from his mother,
which caused Sir William to exhibit a ner
vousness of the hands when playing at
cards.
He would invariably toy with the chips.
He thinks those who accuse his brother
of cheating thus deceived themselves. He
speaks of the Wilsons as extremely
common people, and of Berkeley Levett as
a "cad." Concerning the Signing of the
famous contract by Sir William, his
brother says it was done solely that there
would be no expose of the Prince of Wales"
exorbitant gamblings.
RUSSIAN PEASANTS STARVING.

SOLD TO THE WHISKY OCTOPCS.
Ttro Klj Distilleries Surrender—Price of
Drinks Remains the Same.
CmcAfio, June 4 A gigantic deal, nego
tiations toward which have been carried
on for the past week, was consummated
this evening at the Auditorium hotel. Br
papers which were signed, the whisky trust
has acquired outright the only important
anti-trust establishment in the West, the
great Cnicago distilleries, owned by the
Hhufeldt and Ca'umet distilling com
panies. The Shufeidt distillery is the one
partly burned yesterday, and for the at
tempted blowing up of which by
dynamite some weeks ago George G.
Gibson, secretary of the whisky
trust, is now under indictment. It
is thoueht by many that the transaction
may affect the Gibson ca.se by removing
any vindictive feeling toward him enter
tained by Shufeidt. News of the purchase
was a surprise, although rumors, which
were denied by the owners of the pur
chased distilleries, have been persistently
in circulation. A number of the largest
stockholders in the trust have been in the
city during the progress of the negotia
tions, which with great secrecy have been
carried on in President Greenhut's rooms.
The sales of both plants included real es
tate, machinery, patents, etc.
In connection with the purchase the
whisky trust directors disclaim any inten
tion to advance prices. They absolutely
refuse to give the purchase price, merely
stating that the purchase was for cash and
at a figure aiike satisfactory to sellers and
purchasers. The price is, however, known
to have been fully commensurate with the
gigantic character of the properties pur
chased, probablv involving a transfer of
about $2,000,000.*
A WORLD'S FAIR DEADLOCK.
The Illinois Legislature Unable to Agree
on an Appropriation.
Sfbisgfield. 111., June 4.— An extraor
dinary scene of confusion and excitement
was witnessed in the lower house of the
general assembly yesterday when the
World's fair bill, which as passed
by the senate appropriates $1,000,000
for the Illinois exhibit, was acted
upon. Efforts to reduce the appro
priation to $500.000«r 1600,000 were succes
sively defeated, but on a motion fixing the
amount at $750,000 it was apparent that
the vote would be a tie. Then Speaker
Crafts, a Democrat, voted for the amend
ment, and ignoring a Republican member
who wished to change his vote,
hurriedly announced the vote closed.
Then the house became a bedlam of shriek
ing, blaspheming and hurrahing men.
Crafts coolly declared the $730,000 amend
ment adopted, in the face of a terrific
storm of protest. The speaker would
only listen to a motion to adjourn, and
calmly declared it carried. The members
were now yelling and running about like
wild men. Half a dozen made a rush for
the speaker to drag him from the chair,
but were forcibly held back by his friends.
The bill was discussed at length in the
lower house of the general assembly
today, but without the wild ex
citment characterizing yesterday's de
bate. As a net result of "today's
proceedings the bill is in chancery, a ma
jority in the lower House being deter
mined to limit the appropriation to $750,-
000 and the Senate insisting on $1,000,000.
The prospects for a compromise are not
very good.

Philadelphia Council Appeals to the
President to Investigate the Con
duct of the Treasury Department.
HrjmseTOjr, Ind., June 4.— The Hunt
ington bank closed today, in consequence
of losses sustained by Cashier Alloway's
overdrafts to the extent of 130,000 or
>40.000.
PHILADELPHIA, June 4.—The city coun
cil this afternoon adopted a resolution ask
ing the mavor to address the president of
the United States, requesting that a thor
ough investigation be made of the
action of the treasury department in
regard to the Keystone bank, etc.
Resolutions were also adopted requesting
the mayor to offer a reward of 95,000 for
the apprehension of fugitive President
Marsh and to have a receiver appointed to
take charge of the property of Bardsley.
The report of the expert accountants
who have been investigating the accounts
of ex-City Treasurer Bardsley was trans
mitted to the city council this afternoon
by Mayor Stuart. The report is a volum
inous one, and goes into detail as
to Bardsley's accounts with various banks.
The report shows that on the 21st of May.
according to the books of the city treasur
er's office, there was on hand 132,317,318
belonging to the city. Of this amount the
books of the city treasurer show there was
on deposit with the Keystone bank
11.437.000. This sum is claimed by Re
ceiver Hardley and Band Examiner Drew
to be wrong, and that the bank books show
the actual deposit to have been *639.369.
Bardsley had been carrying as
cash in the city treasury $196.-
043 of worthless checks drawn on
the Keystone bank. In some way not yet
known he raised the amount in cash and
substituted it for the checks. He then
went to Bank Examiner Drew and asked
that this amount be charged to
his account as city treasurer
in the Keystone bank and credited to his
personal account. This Drew refused to
do. The only specific evidence of any
criminal act of Bardsley with city money
is the misappropriation of $36,976, for
which he was indicted. The examination
is still going on.
Chicago, June 4.—Mrs. Anna Baird, of
Pennsylvania, filed a bill today for a re
ceiver for the Northwestern Rubber Com
pany, asserting that it is hopelessly in
solvent, with liabilities of SIOO,OOO and
assets of less than half that amount.
New Yoek, June4.—The rumored sus
pension of Russell & Company, cf China,
was confirmed today at the New York
office. The house in China has sus
pended, in consequence of which the
New York, Boston and London
branches have closed. The liabilities
and assets are not known to the New York
agents. The liabilities are correctly re
ported to amount to several million
dollars. The liabilities are chiefly to seven
banks in China, a few banks
in London and a few in New York.
Up to eight years ago Russell was
manager of the largest local steamship
company in China. It was a source of
great profit, and after its sale to Chinese
capitalists the old partners in the firm re
tired, taking fortunes with them.
Since then the profits of the China
trade have not warranted the ex
pensive style of conducting business.
A few months ago the firm attempted to
organize a bank in London. Two of the
wealthiest directors recently withdrew,
and the scheme collapsed. The firm's
principal business was in silks and teas.
In a silk manufactory at Hongkong
it is said they lost from SBOO,-
000 to $400,000. Of the partners
H. A H. M. Forbes reside in Hongkong,
R. W. Pomeroy in London, H. M. Hunt
ington in Paris and John Forbo, jx., in
New York.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 4.—The whole
sale dry goods and shoe firm of the Connell,
Hail <fc McLoster Company, of this city,
assigned this morning. Liabilities, $473,-
000; assets, estimated at $500,000. For the
past year the firm has done a business
amounting to more than $1,000,000.
The failure was caused by attempting
to do more business than their capital
allowed and failure to get an extension on
their paper. The recent failures in Boston
are said to be the reason for this. Officers
of the company are confident that all obli
gations will be met speedily. They hope
to resume in a short time, and in the
meantime the business will continue un
der the supervision of the Nashville Trust
Company, assignee.
OKLAHOMA, O. T., June 4.—The receiver
of the Commercial bank, which failed some
months ago has handed in his report to
the court. It shows that the bank, from
its inception, was run with a view to
take in all it could in deposits
and then fail. The defunct bank started
in without a dollar and there is no record
that the organizers of the institution or
any body else, except depositors, ever put
in a dollar.

Delicious Desserts Sufficient for s
Family of Half a Dozen.
New York Tribune.
At the present high price of strawberries
it is an extravagance for the average house
keeper to use them as abundantly as she
will later in the season, when they are
sold at their lowest price. There are a
great many delicious desserts sufficient for
a family of half a dozen, which may be
prepared from a single basket of berries.
A strawberry shortcake cannot be properly
made without abundance of berries, so
this will not be included in the list, though
many families make a single basket do for
this purpose. One of the nicest of desserts
is a strawberry ice cream. To make this
cream stir together a quart of strawberries
and a pint of sugar. Mash the berries with
the sugar and let them stand about three
hours in a moderately cool place. At the
end of this time add a quart of cream,
scalded and boiling hot; pour it over the
berries and strain the mixture through a
seive fine enough to prevent the seeds
from going through. Let the cream cool
for half an hour, then freeze it.
Two quarts of the ice cream flavored
with three tablespoonfuls of sherry, or
two of maraschina make a very nice des
sert when served over a quart of perfectly
ripe, well-sweetened strawberries. Scoop
out a hollow place in the center of the
cream and put in the strawberries, so that
they will be completely concealed when
the mold is turned out. The strawberries
should be added to the cream just before
it is served; otherwise instead of being
chiliei they may be frozen and unpalatable
ice bits—as any ripe fruit is likely to be,
unless it is added to an iced dish at the
last moment, or is soaked in wine or liquor
some hours previous, to prevent its freez
ing. Serve the daintiest white cake with
either of these strawberry creams.
A strawberry Bavarian cream is es
pecially nice. * This requires one quart
of strawberries, one pint of cream, half
a cup of boiling water, half a
cup of cold water, and half a
box of gelatine. Soak the gelatine in cold
water for two hours. Mash the brrries and
sugar togethe and let them stand two or
even three hours in an earthen bowL As
soon as the gelatine is sufficiently soaked
add the boiling water to it and stir it till it
is entireiv dissolved. Strain the strawber
ries through a seive fine enough to exclude
the seeds and strain the gelatine through
the same seive into the strawbqjry juice.
Beat the cream to a stiff froth and set it
as.de. Now place the dish containing the
gelatine and the strawberry juice in an
other containing cracked ice and stir them
till they begin to grow a little thick: then
add the whipped cream and continue
stirring gently. The cream will now grow
verv thick; when it is as thick as it can be
and just soft enough to pour, turn it into
the molds and set it away in the ice box to
harden. If you are in a hurry, set it into
a pan of cracked ifce, but do not use salt
with the ice or it would freeze. A straw
berry ••Bavarian' is very nice served in a
fancy mold rhich is open in the center,
where it may be filled in with white
whipped cream. It should be set on a low
crystal platter and served with whipped
cream around it. It is certainly a very
delicious anc ornamental dessert.
A pie with an open crust is nice made of
strawberries .veil sweetened and served
with whipped cream. Delightful cake? of
cooked paste-like cream cakes are filled
with whipped cream and strawberr.es.

General Schoiield, Commander
of the Army, to Wed.
BRIDE A YOUNG IOWA WOMAN.
She Used to Go to School With the Old
Soldier's Daughter—The Vet
eran's Sly Campaign.
CHICAGO, June 4. [Special.]—General
John M. Schofield, senior officer of the
United States army, has capitulated. His
approaching marriage to Miss Geor
gia Kilboume, of Keokak, la., which
will be solemnized on the 13th
of June at the bride's home, has been
officially announced, and in the course of
time upward of 4,000 of the gallant sol
dier's friends will receive cards inviting
them to be present at the ceremony. Ar
rangements for the wedding have all been
planned and perfected to the gen
eral's satisfaction and with a cau
tion that has marked his brilliant
career as a leader of He has suc
ceeded in keeping his plans secret even
from his immediate friends.
General Schofield and Miss Kilbotirne
have been in Chicago for the past few days
a nd all the details for the wedding have been
arranged. The ceremony will be given an
air of military pomp, and with that end in
view the commander will appear in full
uniform, while the ushers and other at
tendants whose services are decreed
by fashion will also come from the
army. News of the approaching
wedding was received with amazement
in army and other circles last night, sim
ply because it was the first time anybody
suspected that the soldier chief contem
plated any step of the kind.
The bride, Miss Georgia Kilbourne, is a
beautiful woman about 26 years old, whose
father is one of the wealthiest and best
known men in lowa. She was a school
mate of General Schofield's daughter.
Her grandfather was David Kilbourne,
a capitalist and contractor, who moved
from New York to the state west of the
Mississippi when it was almost in its in
fancy. He projected many of its first
railroads and public improvements. His
son, George Kilbourne, married a daughter
of Professor Wells, who for many year*
conducted a military school for boys at
Peekskill. General Schofield became a
widower two years ago.
Proper Bridal Ktiqnette.
Ladies' Home Journal.
There are many little things about wed
dings that people inquire about. The bride
writes a personal note of thanks for every
gift received, whether it be a great one or
a little one, and, if she cannot do this be
fore the ceremony, she does it after the
bridal trip. In the church the bride
groom's family and friends sit at the right
of the altar being on the bridegroom's
right hand, while those of the bride are
placed on the left at the bride's left. The
bridegroom does not pay for anything
connected with the wedding unless he
should choose to send bouquets to the
bridemaids and. of course, to the bride,
and presents and bottonr.ieres to his best
man and the ushers. A widow removes
her first wedding ring at her second mar
riage, and does not assume it again. The
engagement ring is taken from the third
finger of the left hand and worn after
wards as a guard to the wedding ring. It
is not considered good taste to cut the
finger out of the glove for assuming the
ring.
