Civilians Arc Killed.
MADRID, Feb. 5.-A dispatch from Huelva
states that yesterday mob of Rio Tinto miners,
now on strike, being ordered to disperse, refused
20 do so, and was fired upon by troops. Several
persons are reported to have been killed and
five wounded
A later dispatch says that ten civilians were
killed. The miners had joined the peasants
living in the vicinity in protesting against open
air calcinations. The civil Governor of Huelva.
accompanied by two companies Of troops aud
some civil guards, arrived at the Sat
urday and found the streets occupied by a
threatening mob, numbering about IA. 600. The
Governor spoke from the balcony of the mu-
nicipal building and tried to restore order but
the crowd drowned his voice with shouts ard
fired pistols, and threw dynamite cartridges at
the soldiers. The troops were then ordered to
fire. The crowd was finally dispersed. Two
soldiers were wounded.
At the beginning of the fight the crowd nearly
succeeded in routing the troops. After the riot
ers had been dispersed they retired outside the
town. Two more of the civilians have died from
their wounds, and the number of injured is dis
covered to be much larger than at first stated.
One thousand infantry. cavalry and civil guards
under command of brigadier-gen occupy
Rio and the surrounding country. The magis-
trates caused general search of the houses oc-
cupied by the miners and others, and found con-
siderable quantities of arms and dynamite in

BARON H1RsCH AND THE SULTAN.

The Financier Proves Himself Match for

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LONDON. Feb. Sit transpires that the nego-
tiations of the Turkish government with Baron
Hirsch for tho construction of system of rail-
ways in Asiatc Turkey havs not been abandoned,
as has been reported, and the Baron will remain
in Constantinople until Tuesday, pending the
arrival of the Ottoman authorities at definite
and final conclusion anent the scheme. The ne
gotiations, it appears. were broken off short
time ago, and Baron Hirsch embarked on ves-
sci just about to sail, with a view of
leaving the Turkish capital for good

him message notifying him that his terms
were accepted. On the strength of this assur-
ance Baron Hirsch disembarked and repaired to
the presence of the Grand Vizier, who, however,
regarding the fnancier's return as conclusive
evidence of anxiety to conclude the con-
tracts on terms especially advantageous to him
self coolly Informed him that the Porte would
accept the principle of the system he proposed.
but he could not accept the figures he had laid
down as covering the cost of construction. etc.
Baron Hirsch, indignant at this treatment, de-
clared that he would make the matter question
of figures only. and added that it did not make
any difference to him whether they were
notified the Sultan of the action of Kiam-
ial. and Of his intention to quit CONSTANT

returned a reply stating that he did not approve
of the Grand Vizier's conduct and would esteem
it personal favor if Baron Hirsch would defer
his departure until Tuesday. pledging his i'm
perial word that the business would be con-
cluded before that day in q en-

of the Sultan in this matter shows the extreme
Turkey and necessarily to the Balkan States

with Baron Hirsch upon any terms whereby the
contemplated Asatic railway system may be-

the Turkish monarchs realization of the neces-
sity for Immediate preparation for a possible

Fight Between One-Armed Men.


MILWAUKEE,. Wis. Feb. 5.-Otto johnson and
John Geiger, two one-armed sluggers, fought
three rattling rounds with small gloves in Opera
House hall early this morning. johnson, who
is an alleged song and dance man, as well as
fighter, was all but knocked out. The men had
only their left arms to fight with, but they used
them after fashion that would put many So
called fighters who have two arms to shame
They smashed each other all over the stage. and
there were four clean knockdowns in the three
rounds. Their best tactics were shown in dodc-
ing the swinging blows they aimed at each 9th
er's heads, but after the first round they were
unable to do this with any degree of accuracy
and hence both were badly punished. just as
the referee was about to call 'time- to end the
third round. Geiger struck johnson in the ear
and sent him spinning toward the footlights as
though he was working on q pivot. The blow
was settler, and Johnson couldn't respond to
the cali OF time" for the fourth round. Geiger
was awarded the fight, the stakes and the gate
receipts amounting altogether to about 81. 900.
