CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-The committee on
Worlds exposition here in 1892 met Fri
day and it was determined to Immediately
open q general headquarters near the hotel
center of the city and TO put to work DIS
speedily as possible such force of clerks
and employees as may be re 1uired to con-
duct the correspondence, receive visitors
from neighboring States, encourage their
cooperation in the movement, and per-
form the vast amount of labor Incident to
the location of the international show. A
headquarters committee was therefore APP
pointed by the Mayor, consisting of 9. III.
Schwab, j. j. Pearce and L. +. Cragin.
This preliminary over the financial
problem was considered. James w. Scott
gave valuable information concerning the
contributions for the centennial exposition
at Philadelphia, and set forth the a1vant-
ages of an early announcement that Chi
cago h as perfected its organization for the
contest for the great exposition Of 1892.
He adv ised the formation of a stock COM
pany with ample capital, to be organized
under the laws of the State Of Illinois.
This proposiJlon met with marked favor.
Mr. G. L. Hutchinson had moved tho ap-
pointment Of committee of five to form
ulate financial scheme for the committee,
and to report how much money will prob
ably be necessary and the most feasible
way of procuring it. These two sug-
gestions were harmonized by directing this
comittee to apply for articles of incorpor-
alton of the Worlds Exposition Of
1892" the capital stock to be $4,000, 900.
The Mayor named as the committee,
Messrs. G. L. Hutchinson, James w.
Scott, Jesse Spalding, j. ]. Pearce and w.
C. Seipp and Lyman j. Gage and Mr.. j.
B. Carson.
This committee will promptly determine
upon the first active steps to be taken to
put the machinery in motion. The execu-
tive committee will meet again on Tues
day, by which time it is believed public
announcement of the plan TO be adopted
can be made.

CRUELTY TO CAPTIVES.
THROATs OF PRISONERS CUT FOR
AMUSEMENT.

LegitIme and HyppoIite Murder Each
Others Captured Soldiers for the DeIec-
tation of Their Respective Arrnies-Ths
Horrible Sights Witnessed by Great
Crowds -Barbarity Unparalleled.
The following special has been received
from Port-au- Prince:
.Legitime has been cutting the throats OF
prisoners in the market place. Hippolyte
is advancing nearer and nearer each day.
Time aud again the southern leader has
prepared for fight, but on each occasion
the appeals of the people and the repre-
sentations of his Generals have induced
him to hold ON little longer. The
idea of Offering quarters to prisoners has
long since died out, and capture now
means something worse than death. Hip
polyte slaughtered eighteen men who fell
into his hands the other day, and in re-
taliation the terrible scenes in the market
place were enacted. The inhabitants of
Port-au- Prince expect no mercy should
HippoIyue's men ever force an entrance
into the city This thought has served to
bring on a condition of mind little short of
distraction and IL now needs but the
sounding of an alarm to throw the whole
population into feverish excitement.
Despair has seized many, while others
await the ond with indifference.
On July 20 Hippolyte made an attack on
one of Legitime's strongholds. All the
available men in the city were pushed for
ward, and, with considerable impetuosity,
attacked Hippolyte. The latter beat
hasty retreat, carrying away with him
eighteen of the garrison. or these unfor-
tunate men, some were shot on reaching
Hippolyte's camp, while others had their

were executed for the amusement of the
troops. Spies reported this act 20 Legi-
time, and the latter Immediately ordered all
the prisoners on hand taken to the market
place. There were eight of them in all,
and, tied arm to arm, they were led,
strongly guarded, to the open square.
Here an immense crowd had collected.
One by one the men were gagged, and
then their throats were cut with the
utmost deliberation, the crowd yelling
yySSslssronsly ySS as each man fell quivering to
his gag, and filed the air with the most
piercing cries of fright. This pleased the
crowd so much that the gags of all the re-
naming prisoners were taken Off, and the
cries of agony of the wretched men fairly
rent the air. When the butchery was COM
pleted great cheer for Legitime went up
from the crowd, and it was evident that
the southern leader had gained point in
the confidence of his followers The

exception of one mill. was destroyed
by fire Sunday night The loss will reach
Slf, 600. 600 The blaze started in IA lodg-
ng house on Railway avenue at o'clock
in the evening and burned until Monday
morning. A large number OF frame
buildings and several grain elevators were
near the lodging house and soon after the
fire broke out they were ablaze.
A strong wind was blowing toward the
city at the time, and the blaze was soon
beyond the control of the fremen. The fire
leaped from street to street and nothing
could be done but let the flames have their
own way until they reached the river and
then endeavor to prevent the fire from
reaching the buildings on the opposite
side.
The flames swept through the city and
one business block after another was con-
sumed, everything being burned to the
water's edge. The fire department was
stationed on the other side of the stream
and prevented flying embers from setting
fire to the buildings there. Only a few
dwellings were destroyed, as the residence
portion OF the city was not visited by the
fire.
The water supply proved totally made
quate, and firemen as well as citizens be-
came panic stricken. Several people are
known to have perished in the flames and
several more were injured by leaping
from windows.
Charles Davis of Chicago, a guest at the
Arlington house, was awakened by flames
bursting through the doors of his room in
the third story. He jumpted from the
window, was shockingly mangled, and died
in few minutes
