REVEALING IN BLOOD.
~ Wind-up of Battle Results in Burning a
Town.


New YORK, March 10.-The World, To-
morrow. will contain the following:
The steamer Conan arrived at this port
yesterday, bringing news of bloody bat
tie between the Legitime and Hippolyite
forces andmassacre by the victors.
Captain Fraser brought copy of LA
Patric, the Hippolyte organ, published Feb
ruary % at Gonaives, containing an account
Of the battle and the massacre at Grand
ESa.ine, stating that the Hippolyte forces in
that city were commanded by Generals
Nom Point and Jean Meserau. Legitime' $
army began the attack on the outpOsts early
IN February. They were repulsed several
times, but finally succeeded in carrying
them. and few days later were masters OF
the city and General Mesarius's sword.
The Legitimes were so much elated over
the success they Immediately began to pill
Iage the town. Drunken soldiers shot one
prisoner for some trifng matter. This was
the signal for a general outbreak on the
prisoners, shooting and stabbing them right
and left.
The prisoners cried for mercy, but their
cries were laughed at and the killing went
on. Quarter was allowed to none. Never
has such a pitaable sight been presented.
Murdered men lay ABOUT huddled IN scores
Spme were frightfully hacked and mutt
Iltsd. Many of the bloOd-frenzied soldiers
Hafing run amuck even among the corpses,
plunging their swords again and again
into the bodies slain.
General Mansaur tried to stay the
butchery but was laughed at and warned
not to interfere, if he wished to live. When
Lack of victims stayed the murders they
robbed and burned the town.
Nearly the whole place, says La Pdtrie, is
in ruins. Captain Frazier thinks the city
must have been burned between February
IS and March l.

VERY UNEASY ABOUT COPPER.
The Market Rather Notwithstanding About
the Syndicate.

New YORK, March 1.-THE possible fate
of the French syndicate is still the all alb
sorbing topic in metal circles here. Early
to-day it was currently reported that the
copper octopus received additional financial
aid to that reported on Saturday. This is
substantiated by the following London
cable to the secretary of the exchange;
''Mathieson reported to have taken con
troll of the syndicate business"
On the floor OF the exchange the copper
operators are notably shy of the market.

The Range Beef is Good.

CHICAGO, March 11.-John Clay, promi-
nent ranchman was in the city to-day after
SIX weeks trip in the cattle raising regions
OF the west. He said that in Texas the cat
tie are in excellent condition and the gener-
al agricultural outlook was good.
In the Panhandle, New Mexico and Colo
RADIO, the winter has been favorable, as it
was also in Wyoming and Montana.
The only complaints come from western
Wyoming where the grass was short last
fall and snow continued heavy.
Mr. Clay thinks the range beef will ar
rive on the markets earlier than in any
year in the history of the trade, and during
all the years he has been connected with
the bushes he never found western cattle
men in better spirits.
