New York, Jan. 8. A Key West
tils-pinch to tbe World says:
Evidences of uvrful butcheries at
Guaaabacoa accumulate daily. Ad
vices from Havana report that a great
pit filled with corpses a ntl human frag
ments was discovered Monday in a
canefield, not more tbaa a mile from
that place. A careful investigation re
vealed at least 20 whole bodies and
many more legs and arms, other parts
of the dismembered bodies being
missing.
Of the bodies remaining entire, four
were those of women, three of young
misses, one of a girl not more than 10
years old, four of boys, and tbe rest of
men. '
Permission to bury the remains was
brutally refused, with a threat that if
this slaughter was complained of. many
more would be added to what the
Spanish officials called the "Cuban
diet" pile.
The edict refusing permission to re
move furniture and other things unless
asked for 24 hours previously is taken
advantage of by the Spanish soldiers
to wreck buildings and revile and in
sult, if not kill, persons suspected of
Cuban leanings.
Some families in the poorer sections
of the city, who did not know of the
edict, started to more Sunday night.
After they had loaded their furniture
on wagons, the police and soldiers
fired on them, killing eight persona,
including several innocent passers-by,
In the official report it was stated that
the troops had been attacked and
several rebels had been killed. '
A girls' school near the center of
tbe town was entered- by troops one
day last week, and the principal, an
elderly Cuban-born woman, very prom
inent, was compelled to kneel to the
officer in command and beg pardon for
using translations of text-books prin ted
! in the United States. The girl pupils
were insulted and rudely treated until
the school was broken up in disorder.

only excited laughter that "such a
little thing" was complained of.
Havana is much agitated by rumors
of victory by Gomes troops, of the suc
cessful erosstnjr- of'tJie "-trocba into
Pinar del Bio, and of eeverai routs of
Spanish troops.
General Weyler is execrated on

Every one thinks his neighbor a spy,
and little can be learned from any one.
Spies by the hundred attend the open

the victim is thrust into Cabanas or

Salem, Jan. 10. The mall pouch and

the Southern Pacific depot last night.
were found today. The mail pouch
was found 300 yards from the depot,
and the express box 300 yards west of
the deoot. The mail pouch was cut
open, but there being no registered
letters or valuable packages, the
papers and letters were left. The ex
press box was broken open by with
drawing the lo"k staple. There were
ho articles in it of value except a
package of India paints, . which the
burglar took for his bounty.
In the express-room, the burglars
left an iron pin two feet long. It is
very much like spikes used by circuses
in pinning down tents. It evidently
was used in drawing the staple from
the door of the baggage-room, through
which entrance was made.

Anglo-American Arbitration ia an Ae-
. eoaipUsbed Fact.
Washington, Jan. II. The propr
osition for a general arbitration
treaty between the United States and
Great Britain is now an accomplished
fact. Lord Salisbury has assented to
the last suggestion from this side and
nothing remains but the attachment of
the formal - signatures of Secretary
Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
latter having been clothed with au
thority by Ixrd Salisbury. These
signatures will be affixed today.
The treaty must be submitted to tbe
United States senate for approval, and
in view of the short time remaining of
the present session of congress every
effort will be made to have t sub
mitted to that body at the earliest pos
sible moment, probably within a day
or two.
The length of life may be increased
by lessening its dangers. The major

New York, Jan. 10. A World dis
patch from Tampa Fla., says:
A schoolboy of 10 years was killed
in Guaaabacoa Thursday evening by
a Spanish patrol, because he re fused
to hurrah for Spain. The lad smiled
when the soldiers asked him to hurrah
not comprehending what they wanted.
They cursed him as a "Cuban whelp,"
butchered him and left the body in the
street. In the fields surrounding the
city dogs have been seen eating human
flesh and gnawing human bones
Mere than 500 people have moved from
Guaaabacoa within 10 days. Another
large pit with dead bobies in it was
discovered Thursday near Guanabacoa
in the thick underbrush. Decomposi
tion was too far advanced to permit
recognition of the bodies. It is sup
posed tbe victims of Spanish cruelty
belonged to the poorer class of the
suburbs, as many have been reported
missing lately.
Antonia Roginy, a native Cuban,
forced to leave home as tbe police
were after him on suspicion has arrived
here. He says the raid at Caobillias,
called a Spanish victory, was a great
Cuban success. Tbe town was garri
soned by 500 Spaniards who had three
cannon. Before daylight Wednesday,
Cuban insurgents under Major Sorres,
seized the outposts and almost cap
tured che entire place before the
Spaniards knew what was going on.
The cannon in one blockhouse was
turned on the Spanlsb.and they retreat
ed. Major Sorres throw part of his
force In tbe rear of tne Spaniards and
routed them. Tbe Cubans did not
pursue. They were after the spoils and
supplies.

The transfer of the Oregon Short
Line & Utah Northern, with property
lying in five of the Western states,
was of great interest to railroad men
in the intermountain country. The
events were the legal forms by which
the sub-branches of the Union Pacific
trunk system were foreclosed and bid
in by tbe holders of liens upon them,
and are to be followed by a reorganiza
tion of the officers and employes of the
lines involved.
The sale took place at the county
building, at 10 o'clock this morning,
the special master in chancery, W. B.
Cornish, of St. Paul.aotlngas auction
eer. He read in tne presence oi tne
assembled crowd, which Included many
prominent railroad men, the notice of
the sale published by order of the
court, which was a lengthy document,
and then asked for bids.

north of Salt Lake. The next two
sales took place at the Union Pacific
depot, and covered the property souch

KING OF THE . GULF.

. . Motley Crowd of Baehira. -
Bnahire ia the capital of the English
protectorate in the Persian gulf. Here
our resident lives, who may be styled
king of the gulf, and before whom all ,
the petty potentates along its shores,
be they on the Arabian or Persian aide,
bow down. He baa hia steam yacht
and his steam launch provided for him.
a British man-of-war is appointed to
be always in readiness to do hia bid
ding, and the British residency, with
its flagstaff and extensive compounds,
is by far the moet conspicnotia build
ing in the town, says the Fortnightly
Beview.
Hash Ire is a truly horrible . place,
built at the edge of split of sand run
ning out into the gulf. Its population
is very mongrel Arabs, Persians, Hin
doos, are all hopelessly mixed np there
in. It has an English bank. What
with its English residency, English
bank, English telegraph, English
steamers' agents and English men-of-war,
Bnshire is aa English as could
well be wished. Lawn tennis maybe
seen npon the quays, ladies may play
and ladies may ride 'without incurring
more than an ordinary amount of star
ing from the Moslems. .
It is confidently asserted that, if the
Earoun route is opened out into the
heart of Persia, Bushire will cease to
be tbe seat of our resident, and tbe cap
ital of our Persian gulf protectorate
will be removed to Fao or Borne other
spot which has not yet got a name. If
that time ever comes, and Bnshire
ceases to be the chief outlet for the
Persian caravan trade, the place will
not long survive, for it has no preten
sions whatsoever " to call itself a har
bor. ' Big steamers have to ' anchor at
least two miles off land outside a sand
bar, and.if the sea is very rough.landing
is next to impossible. Bushire chances
to be the outlet for the roads across
theKotals, and if it ceases to be that its
reason for existence will cease also. 1

. STRANGE SHOWERS. .
Blast, Spiders a ad Other Qnear TUa
Rained Dowm from Hen Tea. .
The meteorological phenomenon that
dates from "the night of the big wind"
and the disastrous downpour that
drenched a suffering humanity on that
occasion is surpassed by the reoord of
other rainstorm.
. .The sky has shed tempests of blood,
and more than once this phenomenon
has produced . consternation among
men whose startled eyes beheld what
they deemed was the visible sign of
their impending destruction. "Blood"
rain ia caused by the presence of infi
nitely little plants, animalcules or
minerals in the globules. In one in
stance of a shower that fell at Bristol
and in the Bristol channel the ana
lytical examination showed that the
red color wa due to ivy-berry seeds.
In medieval ..times blood rain waa a
prodigy; in the east.,it waa connected
with the belief that man was produced
from blood that fell from heaven. It
was a -portent as remarkable aa the
"bloody host," which, while it flour
ished, probably caused the death of
more Jews in this country than any
other individual superstition directed
against that people. It ia described as
"an appearance of blood flowing from
bread when bitten;" but it manifested
itself in other articles of food besides
bread and sometimes seemed to drop
from the air. It will be remembered
by historical readers that while Alex
ander was besieging Tyre this prodigy
and the other one . of "blood rainf oc-
curred in one day, much to the con
sternation of the soldiers. '
More curious than blood rain in re
gard to the mere color was the red, violet
and grass-green shower which fell in
the south of France many years ago
and made a patchwork of the big lake,
whereon its manifestation, waa the
more noticeable. This shower, again,
was caused by untold myriads of
differently colored animalcules. Spider
showers are another curiosity worthy
of mention in this connection. Thr
spiders are gossamers; and aU those
who have read White's Natural His
tory of Selborne will call to mind his
description of the showers he observed.
One of these, he tella na, continued
for nearly a whole day and the gossa
mers descended from nrprising
height, for .when one gentleman as
cended a hill near at hand : some three
hundred feet high he found . that . tb j
spiders were dropping from a region iu
the atmosphere that waa still beyotxl
the reach of his gaze. Dr. Martin
Lister named this aerial spider "the
bird," from the facility with which it '
can traverse the air; and npon one oc
casion when he observed a shower oi
them at York he ascended to the top cf
tbe minster and found that even at
that altitude he waa still below their
level that they were descending fron
some region above that standpoln..
Darwin, another observer of spider
showers, describes one he saw in 18; :,
when on board the Beagle, at the
month of the La Plata river, when V-'
vessel waa some sixty miles from Ian-'-:
and he seems to have been the first t
notice that each parachute of gossaro .
carried a spider aeronaut, for he n -t
only observed them arrive on board t. i - .
ship birt be also saw them reproduce t
new parachute, and on this freil bar'-,
launch forth again "on the bosom o!
tbe palpitating air." Tbeee goasami r
showers are great mysteries and on.
aeen cannot very readily be forgot to-.
for the air on these occasions becom.
literally crowded with the tiny par
chutes mentioned, which are compose-.
oi a few threads
of almost invisible
gossamer, witn a small put itvei.
spider attached. This may be regardc.
aa the most beautiful thing in Strang
ahowers. .
