MASSACRED BY WHOLESALE,
Tarkish Mob at Constantinople Batch
era Helpless Armenians.
Berlin, Aug. 28.- -A dispatch to the
Vossiche Zeitung, from Constantinople,
says that there was a general fusillade
and massacre. ' At the conclusion of the
riot many hundred dead bodies were ly
' ing at the head of the Stamboul bridge.
The Tarkish mob arrived with knives
and sticks, invaded the quarters of the
Armenians, ' attacking the Armenian
houses and then passed their butchered
victims out of the windows. The police
and militia stood idly by in the streets
where wagon loads of human bodies
were lying scattered in all directions.
NEWS EKOai CUBA.
Battle In the Province of Santiago de
Cuba.
Havana, Aug. 28. Advices just re
ceived here confirm the story of the 56
hour defense by its escort of the military
train which was reported missing be
. tween Taco Taco and Bacaragus, prov
ince of Pinar del Rio. The insurgents,
it appears, lost about 500 killed and over
100 wounded,' including the insurgent
General Bermudez. Antonio Maceo had
his horse shot from under" him during
the same engagement, and a number of
insurgent officers of minor rank were
more or less injured.
Major Orozo has been engaged with a
force of insurgents at Cuzco. Eleven of
the enemy were killed, and on the side
of the troops several men were won nded.
A government force under Captain Go
mela, numbering about 125 men, has
been attacked by the insurgents near
Manzanillo, province of Santiago de Cu
ba. . The captain was killed at the first
volley and Lieutenant Pena was wound
ed. A detachment of troops from Man
zanillo, which was sent to Gomela's as
sistance subsequently engaged the
enemy, and the insurgents lost 26 men
killed. The troops bad seven men killed
and 22 wounded. ,
Awful Crinae of Three men.
Ottcmwa, la., Aug. 28. Three men
' vieited the "home of E. W. Warner, a
farmer, near Libertyville, la., last even
ing, bound and gagged Warner's
daughter, Mellie, aged 20. who was
' alone in the house, but found nothing,
and then each man assaulted the girl.
They left her bound and gagged.
She managed to release herself, and
went to the house of a neighbor, where
she fell unconscious. A poBse of 300
men, nnder Sheriff Black, started in
pursuit and caught the three men at
Bladensburg. With much difficulty the
sheriff protected the prisoners and got
them safely in jail at Fairfield. -The
girl is in a critical condition. She was
not able to identify the men. Late re-
' ports say circumstantial evidence is ac
cumulating and indications are strong
that the prisoners will be lynched.
They are strangers here, well dressed,
and traveled in a buggy with a team.

FOREST FIRE RAGING.
Destruction Done on Washington Side
' of Colombia.
Astoria; Or., Aug. 28. A forest fire
of immense extent is raging tonight be
tween Oak point and Eagle cliff, on the
Washington side of the Columbia. Three
miles square have already burned over.
Many cattle have burned to death, the
number being estimated ,at 200. All
kinds ot animals are dropping dead from
the excessive heat.
The amount of timber already de
stroyed is estimated at from 10,000,000
to 20,000,000 feet. All of the buildings
at Benson's logging and lumbering camp
have gone up in flames. Late tonight
the fire was reported to be within a
quarter of a mile of Oak point, but mak
ing no headway in that direction.
A wall of flame three miles long, and
leaping to the tops of the highest trees,
renders it impossible to get direct com
munication to the scene of the trouble.
A month ago a heavy fire broke out in
the same district, which, notwithstand
ing the recent rains, smoldered and
broke out afresh the other day.
-. It is feared that many lives have been
lost. Those who are at Benson's camp
and beyond the line, of fire can only find
Bafety, providing they have not already
succumbed, by making a- new trail to
the Columbia river and taking to boats.
All of the buildings at the various log
ging camps have been destroyed, and
even some in the village. Campers have
made strenuous efforts to get their
things out of the cabins, and some effects
have been removed from a few bnildings,
but there is little prospect of saving any
thing, as they cannot get oat this way at
all. The ordinary trails are so covered
by smoke and cinders, and the heat is
so great that no one can pass along
them.
NO COMPROMISE EFFECTED.
Manitoba Parachlal School Question Is
Still Unsettled.
Winnipeg, Aug. 28. Premier Lau
rier'a offbrts to settle the Manitoba par
ochial school question, seem to be fntile.
The compromise accepted by the Green
way government does not suit the
Roman Catholics. The official organ of
Archbishop Langevin, who Is now in
Borne, consulting with the pope on the
question, has this to say in an editorial:
"Nothing but our separate parochial
schools will satisfy ua. A settlement
which restores to ns only the ghost of
the shadow ot our rights we will never
accept. The bare permission - for the
clergy to visit the schools and teach the
catechism will not do. To put a plaster
over a festering aore only makes it break
out with renewed virulence eleewhere."
Monitions of War.
Key West, Fla., Aug. 28. General
Roloff and Colonel Nunez have landed
here, accompanied by 14 others, in a
small yawl. A tug approached the port,
and after launching one of her . email
boats, she put out to sea again. '
General RolofFs party reports the safe
landing In Cuba of three expeditions.
The three expeditions are said to have
landed 1500 rifles, 2,000,000 cartridges,
700 machetes, three field pieces, medi
cine and other necessary supplies.

Letter From Neal Dow.
Amksbuby, Mass., Aug. 28. A letter
from General Neal Dow, the noted pro
hibitionist, and former candidate for the
presidency, in which be gives his viewt
on the money question, is mado public
by the general's correspondence. The
letter says :
"The proposition of the Populists and
other silver men is this: That con
gress enact a bill making 53 cents .in
silver equal in value to 100 cents in gold ;
that the 53 cents be compnlsorily received
as full payment for 100 cents in gold.
That, if accomplished, will be a he, a
cheat, a fraud. I do not see how any
honest man can consent to that, much
less to propose it. If adopted the coun
try would be in a panic while it con
tinued." A Mother's Awful Crime.
Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 28. Neigh
bors who broke into the borne of C. W.
Green, a traveling passenger agent for
the Big Four railway, this forenoon,

spectively 13 and 6, and a girl aged 9,)
lying dead in bed. They had been shot
and instantly killed as they slept. In
another part of the honse Mrs. Green
lay dead upon the floor. It is supposed
the woman, while temporarily insane,
killed the children, then dispatched her
self, nsing a revolver.
Mr. Green left the city a week ago last
Tuesday for a trip to Salt Lake City with
Mr. Lynch, assistant passenger agent, of
the Big Four road.
Mr. C. W. Toner, manager for Sher
