CLEVELAND, May 11.-Amasa Stone, the mil.
lionare railway and iron magnate, committed
suicide this afternoon, by shooting himself
through the heart with "a revolver, at his resi-
dence on Euclid avenue, while suffering from
temporary insanity caused by Indigestion and
sleeplessness. The discovery was made by Mrs
Stone about O'Clock. Mr. Stone did not rise
until O'Clock to-day, aud after walking round
the house went to his room again; thither Mrs.
Stone went shortly before O'Clock, and, not
hndlng him, searched further. The bathroom
was found to be locked on the inside. Mrs.
stone called the butler, and he climbed over
the partition only to find his master lying on the
hoor half undressed, dead and cold, with pis-
tol ball through his heart. The pistol thirty
twocalibre Smith e. Wesson, was clenched in his
right hand. He must have been dead for some.
time, but how long cannot be learned, as no re-
port of the pistol was heard.
The affair is the sensation of the town this ev-
ening, and all Cleveland is talking of this pecu-
liar man, his peculiar life, and its sad ending.
He was sixty-five years OF age and until the
last two months always active
in business. For that period, however, he has
been an intense sufferer from insomnia, and has
been out of his house but little.
Mr.. Stone was born at Charlton, Mass, of
Puritan parents. He remained on his fatner's
farm until young man, and then learned the
carpenters trade. He became bridge builder
after while and finally took, with Others the
contract OF constructing the Cleveland Column
bus, Cincinnati & Indianapolis railroad. part
of the work was paid for in stock, which, becon-
ing valuable, made Mr. Stone comparatively
wealthy man, The Lake Shore from here to Erie
was also built by him and placed under his su-
perintendency. Mr.. Sones only son. Adelbert,
was drowned some years ago in the Connecticut
river, while attending Yale College, an occur
renee which the father has never recovered
from. 10 perpetuate the memory of this son

He was tail and slender, of gray Wis
age, bearded and mustached heavily
with ircn-gray hair, and generally
was of the highest Order and his personal hab-
its plain and simple. He has been living in re-

Attacking the Government Policy.

LONDON, May 11.-In the Commons, this after
noon, Sir Richard Ashton Cross, Conservative
called attention to the surrender of the Cuban
refugees, Maceo, Rodriguez and Castillo, TO the
Spanish authorities at Gibraltar. Sir Henry
Drummond Wolff. Conservative, attacked the
policy of the government, which, he said, was
weak and cringing.
Sir Charles Dixie, president of the local gov
ernment board, denied that Spain acted in a
manner to give England the right to demand the
return of the Cubans.
Mr.. Hardnge Clifford. Moderate Conservative,
eOntended that there had been an absolute breach
of international law, and the British consul con-
Dived at it.
Attorney general James supported the views
OF Dixie.
Under Foreign Secretary FitZmaurice said 1t
was hoped that Maceo would soon he liberated,
but the tone assumed by the Tories was not likely
to favoraOly influence the case.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-THE Chronicles s
special from Hermosillo, Mexico, gives further
particulars of Torress fight with the Indians
He had been pursuing the Apaches for twenty
days, on trail which led to the Montezuma
district In northeastern Sonora. At Guazanora
he STONED by Colonel Garcia, and made
forced march of five days aud nights for the
nils OF the Sierra Madres. The scouts espied the
Indians moving off, and twenty-five of them
struck large body in a stronghold heretofore
unknown, having, the oldest scout says, the ap-
pearance Of being settled three or four years.

The scouts were attacked and driven back
on the main body of troops. The mountain
being inaccessible to cavalry, the troops dis
mounted and made march of twelve miles
Ihey found the Indians strongly entrenched on
the crest OF a large spur of high mountains The
troops, 800 strong, made an attack at l o'clock.
They had to climb the mountain on hands and
knees, and the Indians, failing to damage by fir
ing, rolled powders down the mountain side, but
without effect The chief, supposed to be Ju,
had ms station on a high point of the mountain,
ana his commands to the Indians could
be heard distinctly for mile II took two
hours for the troops to gain the crest OF the
mountain, and when they reached it, two were
shot dead. The fight on the summit lasted two
hours. The troops, swinging behind the left of
the Indians made an attack, charging bayonets
and forcing them from their position. The Ind-
ans He'd, leaving eleven dead bucks on the
ground. Five soldiers were killed and eight
seriously wounded. The Indians were driven
for miles, and as the trail showed much blood, a
great many are supposed to be wounded Torres

with Apaohes. He says they retreated into
northeastern Chircahua. He thinks there is no
doubt that the rancho is the long unknown
stronghold OF the Apaches; it is 200 miles east

st. Petersburg Gazette.
Like all the European States Russia has been
toe enemy of every other country, and may be
so again; but she has only two enemies with
whom she will inevitably have TO enter into q
struggle for life or death-these are Germany
and England, The conflict between the Slavs
and the Germans is historical and unavoidable
necessity As to the coming struggle with Eng
land, Russia should prepare herself for it by
rapprochement with Ireland The United States
OF America were able to gain their freedom with
out foreign help, and the liberation of Ireland is
only aquestion of time. Ireland's victory will be
made the more certain and speedy BY the fact
that the majority in England, well as
IN Ireland, will certainly demand, be-
fore long, the establishment of separate
rational Parliament at Dublin Whether
the result will be the autonomy the complete
independence of ireland. England will, in either
case, be completely paralyzed as regards her
action abroad. 1t is, therefore, undoubtedly the
direct interest of Russia that Ireland should
come victorious out of the struggle in which she
| Is at present engaged. We need not openly as
sist her; this would be useless, and, indeed, im-
possible. But is our duty to enter into friendly
relations with Ireland, which would be the more
advantageous to us. inasmuch they would

| ally. The best means of doing this would be to

ishment of Irish colonies in southern Siberia, in

very advantageous both for the Irish and for
