CHARILLos, Peru, Aug. 28.-In Lima yester-
day, there was storm of bullets for over six
hourS. Caceres entered the city with his rab-
BILE, yelling and firing. The night before, all
government troops were withdrawn to the cita-
del and the palace, and the entry of Caceres,
although not unexpected, was somewhat Of
surprise. His men captured the citadel and the
churches of Mercedes and San Augustine, from
which they kept up fusillade. They
also attacked the Guadelupe rail
road station. About $50 persons
were killed in Mercaderes and Bodegones
streets, and near the places in the square,
where the fire was hottest. Finally the govern
ment troops made sortie and drove out the
mob Caceres was accompanied by about
ninety horsemen They appeared to have been
travelling all night, and were not in condition to
fight with troops well fed and fresh from their
beds. Three hundred prisoners .were taken.

A GREAT OFFER.
The WEEKLY JOURNAL
for the Campaign at
% CENTS

In order to place the WEEKLY INDIANA
STATE JOURNAL in the home of every Repub-
hcan in the State, and thus do good campaign
service for the Republican party, we have de
cided to send the paper till after the presiden-
tial election for 25 cents
The WEEKLY JOURNAL is a complete family
newspaper. It is specially edited, and much
Of the matter appearing in it is especially pre-
is compendium of the NEWS OF THE WORLD
from all quarters it has full and accurate mar
ket reports; its editorials are political, social
and general; it has the news of the State
and Of the city. Its literary and miscellane-
ous features are of the best.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is anewspaper that
should be in every family in Indiana and at
the price named for it there is no reason why
It should not be- at least during the exciting
and important campaign upon which the
country has now entered. Political com
mittees cannot do better than to see that
copies of THE WEEKLY JOURNAL are placed
in the hands Of those persons in their
counties who are not now readers of
some sound Republican paper The
tariff question is the one issue which
is likely to be most prominently dis
cussed, and to this the Journal pays especial
attention, advocating the maintenance of the
principle of protection to American industry
In whatever revision of the tariff laws may be
made necessary in the future developments of
business and labor. In this question the
farming community is deeply interested, and
the discussions of the Journal will be
largely directed to the agricultural aspects of
the question.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is the only paper in
Indiana that publishes regularly Ten Pages
and this will be continued throughout the
campaign, despite the low price. Send in
names at once, either singly Or in clubs, and
thus get the full term for the money.

Curious Custom in Yunnan.

New York Herald.
The proposed invasion of the province of Yum
nan by the French forces, as intimated in the
cable dispatch to-day, calls attention to very
interesting and comparatively unknown portion
Of the Chinese empire. It lies in the southwest
corner Of the Flowery Kingdom, chiefly between
100 degrees and los degrees east longitude and 90
degrees and % degrees north latitude, and has
an estimated area Of 100000 square miles
than half as large as France. It possesses fine
river system, the Yang tse- Kiang draining the
north, the Salween the east, the Lan-tsau and
SangK the south. The last river flows
through Tonquin, and is more than one-half of
its length in the possession Of the French
forces. Yunnan contains twenty large
and over three hundred small lakes The soil
is extremely fertile, and the mountains
are the richest In mineral deposits of the entire
empire. It contains twenty-one cities. Of over
100000 inhabitants, the capital being Chow
hyung Foo, with 170, 900 citizens 1t has sixty
cities with population of more than SO, 900 and
less than 100000. The population is reported to
be 10000, 600, which for China makes sparsely
peopled province. The climate is salubrio u.s.
and the mountainous districts are largely re-
sorted to by invalids. An extensive commerce
is carried on with Thibet, India AMMAN, Siam,

The Pleur0.P pneumonia Bill.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The House has
agreed to the conference report on the Pleu-
r~o-Pneumonia bill, and it now requires only
the signature of the President to become a
law. But it is a very different measure
from that which was originally proposed
in the House, over which there was 50
protracted and excited a contest. The
bill which is passed provides in
fact for a mere commission of in
vestigation. The Commissioners are
clothed with no powers to eradicate the dis
ease or to make any seizures of infected cat
tie. A Bureau of Animal Industry is es-
tablished under the Jurisdiction of the Com
missioner of Agriculture. The power given
to this bureau is to investigate such meas
ures as may be necessary to pre-.
vent the spread of disease, to
quarantine against importations from
foreign countries or to regulate
the movements of cattle between the
States. but the Commissioner is distinctly
prohibited from using any portion of the
$3.50, 600 which has been appropriated in pay
ment for animals which may be slaughtered
to prevent the spread OF disease. The
friends OF the original bill hope that much
good will result from the bureau which is
thus to be established, but the measure will
fall short OF the purpose of its projectors.

Under ARREST.

Ex-President Fish, of the Marine BANK o.
New York, in Custody on q charge Oh
Fraud-His Story Respecting General
Grants Connection with His Financial
Transactions.
New YORK, May 26.-James d. FISH, eS-
President of the Marine Bank, was arrested
last night upon a warrant issued by Uhlted
States Commissioner Shields. He was found
at the Mystic flats, Broadway and Thirty
ninth streets, where he had, been hiding.
He was not taken before the magistrate, ana
is still in the custody of a Deputy Marshal.
The warrant was issued upon the affidavit
of Augustus Serbia, the National Bank ES-
aminer, who deposed that Fish had misap-
propriated 81 ,14l, 900 between March l and
May 6, 1884, by a series of credits to the
firm of Grant & Ward, in sums from 500
600 to $16O, 900 at various dates. The credits
were entered in the books OF the bank as
loans to imaginary persons, and secured by
imaginary collaterals in stocks and bonds,
all of which transactions were stated to be
entirely fictitious.
Fish stated that he was never on intimate
terms with Ward, and did not see him
once a month until just before the break
up. Up to the day the Marine Bank
failed he had not the glimmer Of a suspicion
that the Government contracts repre-
scnted by Ward were not genuine. July 5,
1882, he wrote to General Grant asking,
among other things, about the Govern
ment contracts. In reply he received two
letters from General Grant, one written by
General Grant personally and the other by
George E. Spencer, the cashier of the firm
of Grant e. Ward, and signed by General
Grant himself. In both Grant said that all
transactions were straight and that the
profits were genuine.
Fish further said that the suit on which
Ward was arrested was originally against
Ward himself, but as soon as lie showed
General Grants letters and certain other
evidences Of fair dealing the counsel for
City Chamberlain Tappan destroyed the
warrants against Fish. These Grant let
tiers were photographed, and a
dozen copies are now out in the hands OF
lawyers. Fish wanted to publish
them, but his counsel forbade it, as such
publication would have disastrous effects OH
General Grant. Fish said that thirty days
ago he was worth fully $1,000, 600, and that
it was not likely that a man aged sixty
three would deliberately throw away his
competence and ruin his family. Fish
also told how Ward would come
to him with slips of paper on which
were written alleged Government con-
tracts for supplies. Fish would go to
Wards office and generally found there
General Grant and Senator Chatfee. Ward
kept telling him all the time that General
Grant, Chatfee. President Arthur and Others
were helping him by political influence tc
get contracts and thus deceived him, General
Grant making the deception complete by his
letters. Fish concluded by declaring thai
he would produce the Grant letters ant
other documents to show that he had beer
basely deceived.
