INSURGENTS
Continue to Make War on
Spaniards
SEVERAL SHARP SKIRIMISHES
RESULT IN RETREAT OF THE
ROYAL TKOOPS
Once More Spanish Officials Assert
That No Offer of Mediation Will
Be Accepted
Associated Press Special Wire.
NEW YORK, May 28.—A special to
the World from Havana, Cuba, says:
General Garcia ambushed two detach
ments of Spaniards near Vintegas,
Puerto Principe province. After fight
ing them all one afternoon, he attacked
them at night and managed to get them
separated. For awhile they were so
confused they fired at each other.
One detachment finally became panic
stricken and fled. Garcia fell on the
other and defeated It, Inflicting a loss
of one hundred. He then pursued tho
retreating force and, catching up with
them ten miles from the coast, killed or
wounded sixty-four more Spaniards.
The Nnuez brothers recently captured
a Spanish fort near Palacois. Plnar del
Rio, and after occupying it three days,
burned it, taking away a large supply
of ammunition and provisions found
there. There was also a sharp guerrilla
fight at Mlnas and St. Felipe, Havana
province, the Cubans under Martinez
and Carlllo compelling the government
troops to retire in both instances. The
Spanish loss is not known but more than
two hundred wounded soldiers have
been brought in at night so as to avoid
observation. The Spaniards cay that
Carlllo Is wounded, but the report Is not
believed.
ATTACKED A HOSPITAL.
NEW YORK, May 28.—A special to
the World from Key West, Fla., says:
A Cuban hospital near Matrua, Havana
province, was attacked by Spanish
guerrillas. The Insurgents were In
formed of their approach and as some
of the wounded could not be moved,
those who were able to get about forti
fied the building, which is of stone, as
well as they could. When the guerrillas
demanded the surrender of the place,
the inmates replied with a volley, kill
ing five Spanish. The soldiers then set
Are to the wooden portion of the build
ing but the stone part remained intact
and the beseiged made such a valiant
fight that the enemy finally retreated.
Sixteen guerrillas raided a camp of
paclflcos in Matanzas province and car
ried off seven women. One day one of
the women managed to secure some
kind of poison, which was put ln the
food kettles of the band and every guer
rilla died in agony.
Col. Rodriguez and 250 Cubans at
tacked Casiquas, near Jaruco last week,
drove off the garrison and looted the
place.
GORDON'S FATE.
NEW TORK, May 28.—The Herald
this morning publishes details concern
ing Col. Charles S. Gordon, an American
reported to have been killed ln Cuba,
while with the Insurgents in the vicinity
of Clenfuegos. Says the Herald: Col.
Charles Gordon disembarked in Cuba
last June and was soon promoted to the
rank of major. His remarkable shoot
ing at the flght of Vista Hermosa, in the
province of Havana astonished both
the Spanish and the Cubans. He crossed
the trocha and joined Maceo.
Maceo promoted him for bravery in
the field and thought so much of him
that he was selected as one ot the few
to cross the trocha ln his company. Gor
don was wounded at the same time that
Maceo was killed.
NO EFFORT MADE
MADRID. May 28.—A semi-official
denial is given today of the published
statement that President McKinley
made overtures to Spain on the subject
of Cuba. It is reiterated that It is im
possible for the Spanish government ta
accept mediation on a question which
"concerns Spain alone."

DAMMING RESTRAINED
The Bio Grande Irrigation Scheme in
Court
DENVER, May 28.—A special to the
Republican from Santa Fe, N. M., says:
The United States marshal's office here
today received from District Judge
Bantz of Silver City a writ of injunc
tion against the Rio Grande Dam and
Irrigation company, restraining that al
leged English corporation from con
structing any dam across the Rio
Grande or otherwise obstructing the
flow of this so-called international nav
igable stream in New Mexico. The in
junction was granted on application by
the United States department of Jus
tice, and is in the nature of a tempo
rary restraining order. As to whether
it shall stand perpetually arguments
are set for hearing June 14th. A lively
contest in the courts over the use of
Rio Grande waters ln New Mexico and
Colorado Is expected to open with the
hearing of this case by Judge Bantz.
The case, it Is claimed, will turn upon
the question of whether or not the RI")
Grande is a navigable stream on the
international boundary line at EI Paso.
The case Is very important to Colorado
and New Mexico, as it involves the irri
gation rights of the Rio Grande river.

To Congratulate Victoria on Her Long
Beign
WASHINGTON, May 28.—The presi
dent has added another member to the
special embassy which will attend the
sixtieth celebration of the accession of
Quee-n Victoria to the British throne, in
the person of Ogden Mills of New Yofk.
Mr. Mills goes in the capacity of secre
tary and attache to'fTie American em
bassy. The commissions, for the repre
sentatives will be beautifully engraved,
and altogether the occasion is special In
every respect so far as the state depart
ment is concerned.
Whltelaw Reid bears the title of
special ambassador on a special mis
sion as the representative of the presi
dent, and General Miles and Admiral
Miller will have special commissions.
The ambassador himself will carry for
presentation in person to the queen a
letter from the president, which, In
general terms, will be similar to that ad
dressed to her upon the occasion of her
Jubilee celebration ten years ago. It is
formal, yet kindly, In tone, and expresses
the appreciation of the president of the
great good that has followed the long
reign of her majest? ar.d hopes of a con
tinuance of her health.
Organize to Suppress Crime—No Im-
BUTTE, Mont., May 28—At a mass
meeting tonight a committee of 100 was
provided to assist the regular authori
ties in the suppression of the lawless
element in Butte and vicinity. The
names of the committee and style of
work will not be made public, but the
selections will be such as to strike ter
ror into the ranks of the criminal classes.
This week there have been a dozen hold
ups by armed and masked men, some
accompanied by violence and one by
murder. Among the hundreds flocking
to Butte, doubtless most of them are of
the criminal classes, although many are
worklngmen unable to get employment
elsewhere, and are attracted to Butte
by the stories of high wages paid here.
The citizens desire it to be known that
more people are here now than work
can be found for, and a dissemination of
this information may check the march
this way of the unemployed and save
much suffering for strangers.
Tending to Prove That Luetgert Is
Guilty
CHICAGO, May 28.—Prof. Mark De La
Fontaine, the expert chemist, has made
a discoverey in his investigations into
the contents of the vat in the Luetgert
sausage factory, which is considered by
the prosecution of a nature most dam
aging to the defendant. In the sedi
ment not only has he found traces of
teeth, but also a large number of flakes
of a composition only found in the hu
man tooth. This, together with the
broken false tooth found by the police
near the vat, is looked upon by the pros
ecution as the strongest kind of evi
dence to establish the corpus delicti
which the defense has maintained was
wanting In the state's case. The state
rested its case today with the evidenoa
of Prof. De Le Fontaine and Dentist
Klein. No effort will be made to call any
other witnesses exoept in rebuttal, and
then only in case an effort is made by the
defense to go Into expert testimony.

ment today by Judge Baker ln the Unit
ed States Court. Johnson received the

son, Johnson's attorney, read a certifi
cate of Johnson's previous good charac
ter.

Associated Press Special Wire.
EL PASO, Texas, May 28.—The flood
situation here today is deplorable, but
everything possible Is being done to aid
the sufferers. Tents are being secured
from the government. A large amount
of money and provisions have been con
tributed. No fatalities occurred. The
river dropped six inches last night. It
will be under control tonight and turn
ed back into the regular channel.
Over 500 homeless families, or 2000
people, were on the streets of El Paso
this morning, searching for shelter.
Their furniture, clothing, etc., were
of the city. Last night the waters con
tinued to ri3e and before day dawned the
piled up on the principal thoroughfares
flood had reached that portion of the
city in and around San Antonio street,
where prominent business and profes
sional men reside. After 11 oclock last
night the flood swept over six mort
blocks. The waters were full of strug
gling teams, hauling out property from
the flooded houses. The Texas and Pa
cific railroad had thrown up a dyke to
protect Its track near the round house,
and this backed the water up over San
Antonio street, flooding a number of
houses and threatening to cross the
street and flood hundreds of the pretti
est residences of the city. Several prom
inent citizens residing in the vicinity,
headed by Collector of Customs Captain
Davis, armed themselves with Winches
ters, and crossing over the railroad
levee, cut the dyke, letting the back
water out, and it began to recede from
San Antonio street.
A troop of the Fifth cavalry from
Fort Bliss came down to the city today
and offered their services to guard the
property of homeless people which is
piled in the streets.
The city board of health met this
morning and appointed a committee of
six leading physicians to take charge
of the relief hospital now being estab
lished for the homeless and sick, and
the physicians are tasking such to the
improvised hospital. Col. Van Valzah
of Fort Bliss loaned the city fifty-three
tents, and citizens' committees were out
today with wagons, gathering provis
ions for distribution among the desti
tute. At least 400 out of the 530 families
whose homes are under water are with
out the necessaries of life. This morn
ing the city council held a meeting and
authorized the mayor to wire to the
Texas senators and representatives in
congress to secure an appropriation of
$10,000 for the relief of the flood vic
tims. The war department has also
been appealed to for more tents.
This afternoon the river was at a
standstill, but a rise of one foot Is re
ported up the river in New Mexico. The
flood waters at El Paso East cover an
area averaging four miles long and
three-quarters of a mile wide, flooding
not less than 700 homes, most of which
belonged to the poorer laboring classes.
The houses, having been built close to
gether on adobe fundations, were un
dermined and have tumbled down.
Many people are living ln houses where
the water is up to the doors, and refuse
to move, and these people will have
trouble tonight, If the reported rise
reaches El Paso.
RIVERS RISING
DENVER, Col., May 28.—A special to
the Republican from Santa Fe, N. M.
says: Dispatches received here tonigh'
state that heavy rains have prevaile(
on the Rio Grande watershed for a dis
tance of 150 miles above Santa Fe, and
the river at Embudo. 50 miles, north o
here, has risen 12 inches ln the past 24
hours. The swollen streams south o
Espanola will double this rise before i
passes Socorro, rendering the prospects
three days hence at El Paso and Juarez
extremely gloomy. All the low lands
In the Rio Grande valley above Espa
nola are Inundated.
At Atrisca, opposite Albuquerque, the
river cut through the bank this after
noon and inundated a large portion of
the town. A large force of men was put
to work, however, and before dark the
levee had been repaired.

SENATORS
STARTLED
By Blasts From Tillman's
Trumpet
WANTS AN INVESTIGATION
OF CHARGES MADE AGAINST
SENATOBS
His Besolution Promptly Sent to
Committee and Senators Resume
Grinding at the Tariff Mill
Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, May 28.—After a
long period of silence. Senator Tillman
of South Carolina startled the senate
today by a speech no less drastic in It*
delivery than sensational in its allega
tions. He preceded it by presenting a
resolution for the appointment of a spe
cial committee of five senators to inves
tigate charges of speculation by sena
tors while the tariff bill was before the
finance committee. In advocating the
resolution Mr. Tillman threw aside the
usual conventionalities of the senate,
and with a plainness of speech seldom
heard about the halls of congress called
on his associates to Investigate the pub
lished charges ot senatorial speculation
and if found true to purge the senate of
those who debauched it.
Senator Aldrich, ln charge of the tariff
bill, answered Mr. Tillman in sweeping
denial.
The Tillman resolution was referred
to the committee on contingent expense*
of the senate.
Considerable progress was made on
the tariff bill, thirteen pages being cov
ered. Several votes were taken during
the day, but the finance committee had
a liberal majority in every instance.
The Democratic members of the finance
committee made a strong effort to re
duce the rates on window glass, but
their amendments to this effect were
defeated. The bill will be continued to
morrow, the usual Saturday recess being
abandoned.
The Tillman resolution quotes the
senate resolution of May 17,1894, author
izing the original inquiry and then, after
reciting the proceedings in the Chapman
and Havemeyer trials, proceeds:
Whereas, in the last thirty days sun
dry newspaper correspondents have
openly charged senators with speculat
ing in sugar stocks while the sugar
schedule is under discussion and also
charged that brokers in New York knew
in advance as to what the senate finance
committee would report as to the sugar
schedule, all of which Involves a ques
tion of the highest privilege, to-wlt, the
right of the senate to protect its mem
bers from slanders and to protect the
body as a whole from open charges of
corruption; therefore be it
•Resolved, That a committee of five be
appointed, with power to send for per
sons and papers, to employ a stenogra
pher and to administer oaths, to Inquire
into the truth or falsity of the charges
made in May, 1894, and into the charges
recently made, and the scope of the In
vestigation shall cover everything em
braced in the resolution of May 17,1854,
as well as the method pursued by the
American Sugar Refining company, bet
ter known as the sugar trust, in control
ling legislation in its favor at the pres
ent time, and especially whether It has
in any wise contributed to or controlled
the election of a senator In this body
at any time.
The presiding officer, Mr. Prye,
promptly ruled that the resolution
should go to the committee on con
tingent expenses, but Mr. Tillman ob
tained consent to make a statement.
"We have arrived at a time," he be
gan, "when the senate can no longer
afford to rest under the damning accu
sations made against senators. If there
are men here debauching the senate
then we should be purged of them. If
these reports are slanders, then tha
press galleries should be purged. We
cannot afford to lay back on our digntty
any longer and say we will not Investi
gate."
It had been charged that President
Cleveland met the sugar magnates on
a yachting trip and discussed details
of the schedule of the then pending tariff
bill. There was nothing to fasten that
damning accusation on the president,
Mr. Tillman said, but Senator Jones ot
Arkansas had recently furnished evi
dence to the effect that the president
told him the trust should have a quarter
of a cent a pound.
Mr. Jones quickly arose and stated
that on two occasions Mr. Cleveland had
said to him that he thought the quarter
of a cent on raw sugar was necessary to
the American refineries, and that one
eighth of a cent would drive the refiner
ies out of existence.
Proceeding, Mr. Tillman said it might
be that Mr. Cleveland desired to carry
out a bargain, and if so the senate ought
to find it out.
Here Mr. Gray of Delaware, chairman
of the former sugar Investigation com
mittee, interrupted.
The statement, he said, that a sugar
schedule had been made upon Mr. Bene
dict's yacht when the president was on
board with officers of the sugar trust,
was not true, and its falsity had been
established after the committee had
probed the statement to the bottom.
Continuing, Mr. Tillman exclaimed:
"Both parties are involved, and one is
as deep in the mud as the other is in
the mire. You know of the reports
against certain members of the old
finance committee, and now we have
more damning accusations against the
present committee."
Mr. Pettus of Alabama interrupted to
ask Mr. Tillman not to deal ln general!
tiesjjbut to put a mark on the senator by
nsme.
"That Is what I want an inquiry for—
to mark these men," responded Till
man. "I do not want the poor man tea
