New YORK, Sept. 25.-B. Rekleman,
German Consul in the district Of Panice,
Porto Rico, says of the report about the
cessiOn Of that island to Germany, that il
must have originated among the enemies Of
Bismarck. Al Porto Rico SOME excite
ment was caused ON reading the news in
American papers, but very few attached
any eredenee to il, and the Governor Gen
eral publicly denied having received any
instruction from Spain in regard to the
matter, and the local papers also denied
that there was any truth in it. There was
considerable dissatisfaction on the island,
however, owing to the troubled state Of
affairs in Spain and to the fact that all the
important Offices are held by Spaniards.

THE news this morning from West
ern Pennsylvania is most disagreeably
startling. The war of races between
Italian miners and the striking Welsh
men and others whom they displace,
has reached such point that, not con-
tent with free clash of firearms be-
tween the men, system of wholesale
arson has been set ON foot to burn wo-
men, children and babes in their beds.
Saturating houses with coal oil and
setting them on fire by the score is an
acme of deviltry which repaired North
ern ingenuity for its conception 1t is
terrible even to record such horrors,
because the recital becomes a sugges-
ton TO other demoniac minds and thus
the dastardly crime repeats itself. Be-
fore such a scheme Of deliberate fends,
even the Gibson county murders pale.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. 2J.-Last eve
ming an aifray occurred at Rend's Laurel
Hill mines at McDonald's station, on

ings, owned by Huntsman, Miles & Co., at
the Fort Pitt mines, six miles east Of Nc
DOnald's, were totally destroyed by fire.
Twelve other buildings were on fire, but
extinguished before doing any damage.
The outside weather boarding Of these was
saturated with carbon oil. Loss $4,000;
insurance $500. No clue TO the perpetra-
tors has been discovered. All is.now quiet

pits tomorrow.

ming of the day the troubles in New Or

office in this city. Our superintendent
made prompt and vigorous protest against
this act and the guard was Immediately
removed. In two instances our messages
were arrested by the Penn military, but on
being taken to headquarters, they were
discharged, the parties making the arrests
were reprimanded and no attempt
was made to tamper with the MESA
ges. No committee of citizens or
any person whatever exercised any censor
ship over dispatches, or obtained access to
them. or were furnished with their con-
tents. The only persons to whom any spe-
cial favor was shown were the officers Of
the United States army, who were permit
ted to occupy the private apartments of our
Superintendent for greater convenience in
communicating with officials at Washing
ton. Their communications were given,
as they are by law entitled, the preference
over all other business.
