From Havana.
HAVANA, Cuba, via Key West, Fla.,
Aug 12.— General Calixto Garcia has won
a great victory over the Spanish troops of
the town of Santa Rosalie near Gibara,
Santiago de Cuba province. The town was
surprised by the insurgent troops while a
big ball was in progress at which nearly
all the Spanish officers were in attendance.
In the height of the gayety the ballroom
was fiercely attacked on all sides by the
insurgents, and the Spanish officers had
no time to prepare any plan of defense. A
few other officers in charge of the garrison
and at the outposts bad , already surren
dered to the assailants.
A few soldiers running from the barracks
arrived at the ballroom some minutes
before the Cubans and gave the alarm.
The officers rushed to the door to escape,
but were too late. The Cubans appeared
with their machetes in 'hand and com
pelled the officers to huddle in the bar
room. Some women fainted and others
shrieked and sobbed.
A desperate fight began, in which the
Cubans killed one captain and two lieu
tenants and thirty Spanish soldiers who
had gathered around the officers to pro
tect tbem. In the struggle a bullet struck
a woman, killing her instantly.
Fourteen Spanish guerrillas from differ
ent parts of the town, with the intention
of assisting their comrades, entered the
house behind the Cubans, but another
force of insurgents overpowered them
and fourteen of the guerrillas were killed.
The Spanish officers surrendered and
were taken prisoners to Calixto Garcia.
The remaining part of the town fell into
the hands of the Cubans without resist
ance.
Many. Spanish soldiers, availing them
selves of the carelessness of their officers,
were found drunk on the streets and
easily arrested by the Cuban forces. The
others, greatly surprised by the sudden
attack, surrendered without resistance.
The whole town was burned by the in
surgents, excepting three houses. *
The D.ario de la Marina says the anti-
Spanish attitude of Senator Morgan in
duces the belief that he is paid by the
Cuban Junta to support the cause of the
revolutionists.
At a late hour a report is current that
General Molina was killed in an engage
ment with Cubans near Cardenas.
A desperate effort will be ma le by Wey
ier to drive from the neighborhood of
Havana the insurgent forces who are con
stantly raiding around the capital. The
Cuban bands operating near Havana now
are very well armed with rifles of a make
used by the Spanish soldiers, and appear
to have plenty of ammunition. Several
expeditions with supplies for the Cubans
have landed safely within sight of Ha
vana.
In Matanzas province the Spanish
troops have renewed the destruction ol
plantations and farm-, under pretext that
they will otherwise serve as strategical
positions for the insurgent forces coming
from the east.
SCHEME OF FUAONiSTS.
The Populist Committee Sheds Light
on the False Charges Against
Major Dick.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 12.— The de
velopments brought out in the investiga
tion of the charges made in the Populist
State Convention yesterday against Major
Charles Dick, secretary of tiie National
Republican Committee and the manager
of Hanna's campaign, has created a pro
found sensation in political circles. The
Foraker-Kurtz element of the Republican
party are chuckling over Dick's misfor
tune, as they call it, and say he was easily
caught in a trap set for him by the agents
of Jobn R. McLean, and while the Demo
crats are shedding tears in secret at their
inability to capture the convention, they
smile In public over the disclosure.
-One thing which excites comment in
connection with this story of alleged
bribery is that Major Dick, a sbrewd
politician, could have been so easily be
guiled by a minister of the Gospel in the
person of Rev. J. H. Taylor of Cleveland.
Taylor stated that be got the money for
the very purpose of exposing the cam
paign methods of the Hanna people.
Hugo Preyer, also of Cleveland, accepted
a $25 check from Major Dick for the same
purpose and so stated. No evidence was
adduced at the investigation tending to
implicate delegates of the middle-of-the
road faction who had been charged in
general terms with having accepted bribes
to defeat fusion. Taylor and Preyer both
being fusionists, the investigation com
mittee is composed of three middle-of-the
road members and two fusionists. The
report of the midole-road members filed
to-day with Chairman 1 Creager of the
Populist State Committee, after reviewing
the charges and evidence, concludes as
follows:
■ "Your committee denounce the brazen
attempt of Hugo Preyer, Rev. J. H. Tay
lor, Peter Witt, David Rankin and George
A. G root to besmirch the' character and
integrity of the delegates of almost the
entire convention by repeated charges and
innuendos when they know they bad no
facts to substantiate their accusations.
The evidence proved beyond a doubt that
the whole proceedings was but an attempt
on their part to bring dissensions into the

M. STOILOFF, PREMIER OF BULGARIA.
VIENNA, Austria, Aug. The relations between Austria and Bulgaria have
not been entirely broken by the practical recall of Baron Carl yon Kulmbach-Rosen
burg. Baron HoenningO' Carrot, secretary of the legation, remaining in charge, It is
very probable, however, should Bulgaria continue to show ap indifference to Aus
tria's demand that an apology be made by M. Stoiioff, Bulgaria's Prime Minister, for
the remarks he made concerning the Austrian imperial family, there will be a com
plete rupture of aiplomatic relations. Prince Ferdinand and M. Stoiioff do not seem
to be troubled by this prospect. The prince is probabiy pleased at having an oppor
tunity of showing indifference to Austria, as Emperor Francis Joseph always refused
to receive him at his court. The rupture would damage Austrian commerce, as the
principality is one of tbe chief markets for Austria.

motives of the disruption of the JPeople's
party because they failed to control the
convention in the interest of fusion."
Chairman Creager has refused to make
the minority report public at this time. A
conference of Populists is to be called to
consider what action should be taken.
Major Dick is here to-night, but refused to
discuss the charges, neither denying or
affirming their truth.
UNiTEO M/.itRS ENJOINED.
They Will Refuse to Obey the Order
of the Court and Will Take
the Consequences.
PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 12.— Two
Judges issued temporary injunctions to
day against the United Mine-workers, on
the application of the New York and
Cleveland Gas and Coal Company, through
its president, DeArmitt, the company near
whose camps the striking miners have
been gathering for more than two weeks,
engaged in nearly successful efforts to in
duce the company's men to quit work.
The injunction was issued after a peti
tion was submitted showing intimidation
in the methods of the strikers to force De
Armitt's men out. It restrains President
1) -Ian and other strike leaders and those
associated with them from assembling,
marching or encamping in proximity to
the mines for the purpose, by intimida
tion, threats, etc., of preventing miners
from working.
Before being served with the injunction
Dolan said:
"As I understand it the miners are or
dered to leave the country and secure pro
tection in foreign lands. If we refuse
they will put us in jail, and I hope they
will. There will be so many men refuse
to obey this injunction that the jail will
not hold them all; it will be necessary to
build a new jail. The miners are willing
to go to jail, as they are certain then of
getting something to eat."
Sheriff Lowry is at Turtle Creek. He
announced to-night that he would enforce
the injunction. The striking miners will
make their usual march to the mines, and
the Sheriff will serve the injunction, s
Chief Deputy James Richards says he
has 154 regularly appointed deputies, be
sides the private watchmen employed by
the company. The strikers have ordered
1000 additional loaves of bread and their
commissary is in good condition. Two
hundred and sixty miners are encamped
to-night at Turtle Creek awaiting arrest
in the morning. They declare the will
submit peaceably but expect their supe
rior numbers to prevent the deputies from
arresting all.

WASHINGTON. D. C, Aug. 12.— The
President ha 3 decided to appoint Ethan
Allan Hitchcock of St Louis to succeed
Clifton R. Breckeuridge as Minister to
Russia. He is an old friend of McKinley's
and not a candidate for office. When the
offer was made, Hitchcock was at his
summer home in New Hampshire. He
wrote to McKinley at Lake Champlain
expressing hesitation about accepting the
place, nut finally yielded to the earnest
persuasion. He is now in St. Louis ar
ranging his affairs preparatory to starting
to St. Petersburg.
Hitchcock is a manufacturer and the
pioneer in the plate-glass industry of this
country. On one of his frequent visits to
Washington to look after tariff matters
he became acquainted with McKinley.

HANNA'S YACHT
WAS STRANDED
The Commanche Runs
on a Claybank in Lake
Superior.
Senator and Guests Had What
They Term a Very Close
Call.
-i
But the Party Remained Aboard
Until Tugs Were Sent to
Their Rescue.
PORT ARTHUR Ontatio, Aug. 12.—
Senator Mark Hanna's yacht Commanche,
with the Senator and a number of guests
aboard, ran ashore on a clay bank in
Nipigon Straits, Lake Superior, last night.
Tugs were sent from here to get her off,
and they succeeded at noon to-day. The
yacht was going at full speed when she
struck, but reports are that she was not
badly damaged.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 12— The de
tails of the stranding of Hanna's yacht
Commanche, received here to-night, show
the party had a narrow escape. The Com
manche is of steel construction and thor
oughly seaworthy. On board when the
Commanche left here were Senator and
Mrs. Hanna, Miss Hanna, Miss Ruth
Hanna and Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Gosline of
Toledo, and Miss Mary Phelps, besides
the sailing master and crew of seventeen
men.
Nipigon Straits are known to all lake
seamen as one of the most dangerous
passageways of the upper lakes, and prac
tically unnavipable to any but pilots ex
perienced in those water?. Hanna's com
mander was confident he could make the
straits ali right and undertook to do so.
Early yesterday morning while the
Commanche was proceeding under three
quarters of her steam she ran onto a sub
merged rocky formation, lurched, went
ahead and stopped with her stern still in
deep water. The accident came without
warning. The shock was terrific, and the
yacht seemed to be about to be torn asun
der. The yacht shook from stem to stern,
rocked, shifted a trifle and then lay still.
A scene of intense excitement followed,
and preparations for getting away began.
Life- preservers were fastened on and boats
lowered. Soundings showed the water to
be rushing into her bold, but an examina
tion showed that she was resting easily,
and unless a storm came up she would
stay in the position in which she lay for
an indefinite length of time.
Thus reassured a man was sent ashore
in a boat to secure assistance, and the dis
tinguished party made ready to make the
best of an unpleasant situation. The
messenger made bis way to Nipiron sta
tion, on the Canadian Pacific Railroad,
and from there sent dispatches to Port
Arthur calling for two tugs and a lighter.
These arrived promptly and the yacht
was lightered. An examination showed
that three plates were displaced and one
cracked. After three hours' work the
yacht was sufficiently repaired to permit
ncr continuing. She was pulled from her
perilous perch and continued on her way,
taking one of the tugs along for safety.
Hanna's last dispatch received to-night
says: "We are all right, but had a very
close call."

STEWART IS
A CONVERT
Deserts Silver to Join
the Great Wave of
Prosperity.
The Nevada Senator Sees
More Money In Wheat
Than in White Metal.
Jones Also Talks About the Increase
of Gold and the Luck of
Republicans.
NEW YORK, N. V., Aug. 12.— The
Times, to-day publishes the following:
Senator Stewart is one of the latest con
verts to commercial optimism. Ke is a
bull on everything except silver. He is
engaged in a vigorous campaign in Wall
street, and he said yesterday that he
beard so much about better times that he
had determined to gather in a part of the
prosperity which is not only rampant in
the street but throughout the land. When
asked what had Drought about the change
in his views he said:
"There is no room for pessimism in
this country. No one can be a bear in
the face of the wheat famine in Argen
tina, Russia, Hungary and India. In
view of these conditions abroad I should
not be surprised to s^e silver sell for 25
cents and wheat as high as $1. There is
nothing in talking silver at the present
time, and my advice to my friends in the
West is to fall in line with the forces of
prosperity and progress and receive their
due share of the reward. The time has
passed for the old issues. We must turn
to face new issues and new conditions. . I
frequently hear it said that this security
market is a duplicate of the market of
1873. It is not. It is more of a bull
market. All America has to do is to get
into it, go to sleep and get rich. The
wheat situation in the West will make
every railway not only a dividend-earner
but a dividend-payer. Railroads that
have been moribund for years are now
taxed to their fullest capacity, and are
still unable to accommodate their traffic.
I am told that there is imminent danger
ot a car famine on many of the most im
portant lines traversing this country."
"Are the people in the West alive to
this new situation?"
"The peop c in the West," he replied,
"are wide awake. They know a good
thing when they see it. Most of them are
hanging on to their cereals with confi
dence born of hope and actual knowledge
of what is going on around them. With
their immense crops they will be able not
only to liquidate their indebtedness to the
money-sharks of ihe East, but will inau
gurate a buying movement that will sur
prise the people in this part of the coun
try. I think that by the late fall the truth
of what I said and reiterated during the
campaign will be generally recognized,
and this is that there can be no general
prosperity in this country that is not born
and sustained in the West." .
Senator. John P. Jones of Nevada, who
is spending a vacation in this city, said
yesterday tbat the continued fall in the
price of silver ought not to surprise "any
one.
"Silver is falling in the common price,"
he said, "because of a falling off of the de
mands for it as money. Japan bas gone
into a gold basis and so lessened the de
mand lor silver. Besides this there has
been, because of universal hard times, a
great falling off in purchases in the East.
The Oriental countries use silver money,
and our purchases are paid for in that
metal. The demand has been cut off by
reason of the hard times."
Of the increasing gold production in
Alaska Mr. Jones said: "I am not op
posed to prosperity through any increase
in gold. The Republicans are very lucky,
and I congratulate them on the fact that
this great discovery falls within their ad
ministration. I believe a great deal of
gold will be found in Alaska, and it is cer
tain to restore prosperity, for which the
Republicans will claim and receive the
credit. I shall welcome its return,
whether through gold or silver. Much
glorification and congratulation is. heard
over the fact that our Western wheat is
going up to $1 because of a famine in Ar
gentina, Russia, India and other coun
tries. Ido not like to think that our
prosperity is founded upon, destitution
and starvation in foreign nations. I
want a flood of money to turn the idle
mill wheels and irrigate the waste plains
of our land.
"Another result that will follow from
an abundance of money, be it silver or
gold, will be abatement of this hatred of
the trusts. . The peopie hate trusts, and
only prosperity will drive monopolies out
of their minds. Plenty of money will
crush out the trusts. They flourish only
in bard times."
DOLLAR WHEAT PREDICTED.
The September Cereal Went Upward
Yesterday With Unexpected
Velocity.
NEW YORK, N. V., Aug. 12.— Great ex
citement prevailed on 'Change this morn
ing when the market opened. Trading
was very active and bull speculation was
heavy. Cables were all higher, but the
market for wheat was in a bull fever, and
to a considerable extent worked indepen
dently of cables or crop news. ■ The price
sharply advanced to 89%, after which it
eased off a little. . 7.71;
CHICAGO, 111., Aug. 12.— exciting
scenes of 1891 were renewed on the Board
of Trade to-day. The alarm among shorts
which caused yesterday's bulge was re
doubled, and the farmer speculators were
prominent figures on the floor of 'Change
and about the commission-houses. The
foreign markets responded only in a half
nearted manner to the advance yesterday.
Liverpool and Paris advanced just about
1% cents each, although the former soon
made up the difference.
September wheat closed yesterday with
sellers at 81% cents. First trades were
made this morning from 81% to 81% cents.
After a few moments' Hesitation, pan
demonium broke loose in, the pit and the
bears fell over each in their rush to cover.
When September reached 84 cents,- long
stuff came out -freely and the market
sagged to 82% cents. Alter some hesita
tion another advance set in, which carried
the price to the highest point- September
has reached in year*-, 84% cents. Sellers
again turned the tide and a reaction fol
lowed to 83% cents at the close.
Next to wheat, oats showed the best ad
vance and closed % to % of a' cent higher
for September, corn -lagged; and. closed
%of a cent higher for September., .
. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 12.— The wheat
market to-day went up with unexpected
velocity until it reached 90 cents for Sep
tember. Twenty thousand bushels
were sold at that figure. It closed
Wednesday afternoon at 86-% cents.,- The
rise is due to the information that Chicago
operators are buying heavily. The. busi
ness here was confined principally to
large operators. Dollar wheat is the pre
diction here. *Sp_s3S
NEW YORK, N. V., Aue. 12.— big
bull market in stocks is having its effects
upon the hours of the clerks in Wall

streets until a late hour last night. Most
of the large, offices employed additional
men. A membership in the Stock Ex

WANTS AN ABSOLUTE DIV3KC-.
Langtry Will Sue the Jersey Lily and
Many Prominent Men Will Figure
as Co-Respondents.
hEW YORK, N. V., Aug. 12.— The
Journal's London copyrighted special
says: It is positively announced to-night
by Edward Langtry, husband of the .Jer
sey Lily, that he will bring suit for abso
lute divorce and the papers will be served
t'ris week. Many persons of high social
life, even royalty itself, are to be named
as co-respondents. Langtry is moved to
this course by the report in English news
papers of Mrs. Langtry's prospective mar
riage to Prince Esterhazy de Galantha of
Austria.
Langtry told the Journal correspondent
that he absolutely ignored the California
divorce, and had instructed his solicitor
to bring suit without regard to the action
of the American courts. He said he would
name as co-respondents what the English
call "an exalted royal personage," and
several others, including two Lords, a dis
tinguished sporting baronet, an officer of
the Guards and an extravagant patron of
the turf who died in America two or three
years ago.
Langtry does not think the divorce will
be contested, as the name of Esterhazy
will figure extensively in the court pro
ceedings. Prince Esterhazy is one of the
foremost horsemen. His racing stock is
well known on the tracks of the Conti
nent, and his income is sufficiently large
to make the best bloods of Paris jealous.
'' Esterhazy is 54 years old. Mrs. Lang
try is at Savoy, where she dined with
Esterhazy this evening.
Transvaal Suzerainty.
BERLIN, Germany. August 12.— The
Post Tageblatt and National Zeitung
to-day simultaneously resuscitate the
question of Gieat Britain's suzerainty
over the Transvaal. They print virtually
identical • articles, concluding with a cate
gorical statement that the Transvaal does
not recognize Great Britain's claim to suze
rainty. The arguments which lead to
this conclusion are not new, but evidently
there is some reason which is not apparent
on the surface for again raising the point.

CHAMPION KICK'S MLTIIODS
Denounced as Most. Unbecoming in an
Amateur.
; PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Aug. 12.—
Champion Ten Eyck will not row in the
Senior sculling race at tho National re
gatta on the Schuylkill River to-morrow.
Rumors of this were denied till to-day,
when Ten Eyck admitted it. Tne meth
ods of Ten Eyck in tne match have come
in for a large share of criticism. It is re
marked that the youngster bad no inten
tion of rowing here when he came, and
only came as a huge advertising scheme.
The conclusion reached by many is. that
the champion intends ere long to embrace
professionalism. The reasons alleged for
bis failure to row are poor health alter
the hard training he underwent at Hen
ley ; that his hands were so badly swollen
it was. impossible for him to row, but this
was proved to be without foundation by
hi» appearance on the river this afternoon.
His conduct Is denounced on all aides as
most unbecoming in an amateur.
Instead of an. engagement: ring, .the
Japanese lover gives his sweetheart a piece
of beautiful silk for her sash.
