Fight Between Political Parties in
Which Several are Killed.
LIMA Special.-The antagonism exist
ing between Senores Roses and Morales
Bermudez, the two candidates of the Con-
stitutional party for the presidential nom-
ination, is probably greater now than it
was at the beginning, for the friends OF
both remain firm, and the agitation
in the provinces has already assumed grave
proportions. From Puno news has been
received of collision between the Rositas
and Bermudistas, resulting in the loss of
a number of lives and the pillage
of many houses by drunken Indians.
Recently both Bermudez and Rosas arrived
at Huanta in the province of Ayacucho,
where under most serious auspices they
started an electioneering strife, and an
armed collision between the two parties
was the result. 1t is also stated
that battle has already taken place
in the streets of Huanta, and many on both
sides were killed, among them being the
chiefs of both Parties, in the town
mentioned. namely, sepor hazona,
chief of the Rosas party. DR. Urbina, hav-
ing seen five members of his family fall at
his side during the eight hours of the COM
bat left with the remaining members
to seek refuge at the MatriZ church.
There he found a number of
women, children and old people. The
priest, Before the horrible tragedy took
place, exhorted the Indians to desist in the
name of humanity from their horrible
mode of procedure.
WENT To THE SLAUGHTER.
AS the Indians drew near the church
threatening to burn it, DR.. Urbina, know
ing that he had been the only cause for
such action on the part of the Indians,
and wishing to save the lives, of
the many innocent persons that had
taken refuge in the church, resolved with
out losing time to sacrifice himself and ter
inmate the anguish of his friends. Leav-
ing the church he addressed his enemies
in the following strain: Il am Urbina,
whom you are looking for. Kill me if
you like, but the persons in the church
are not my accomplices. Do not injure
them." The priest gave him his benedic-
ton and accompanied him to the door of
the church. The priest intended to return
and close the church, but as he arrived at
the porch he became deprived of reason.
A few moments afterwards the head
of this victim of the implacable hatred
and barbarity of his countrymen was to be
seen at a distance The Guerillas, in their
drunken fury, not being satisfied with the
murder of DR.. Urbina, continued to slaugh-
ter the inhabitants and to sack and burn
the town for many hours atterward. Over
one hundred lives were sacrificed to the old
rancor existing between the families OF
Lazon and Urbina.

Report of the Recent Outrages in
Siberia Officially Compiled.
ST. PETERSBURG, Special.-A report on
the Siberian outrages has been officially
compiled, but it is shown only to privi-
legged personages. The report shows
considerable disagreement with
the accounts published in London and
Paris in it its description and Interpretation
of the facts of the case. There is evidence
that Russian officialdom has been instruct
ed to ignore the published reports as
mere repetition of Nihilist calumnies
A prominent official to whom cor.
respondent applied for informa-
ton declined to say anything except that
the account of the outrages were full of ex-
aggerations, inconsistencies and contradic-
uons. The administrator of prisons says
that the American delegates would make
great mistake if they attempt
ed to broach the Siberian scandals
at the international prison congress. He said
strictly adhered to- and no reference to po-
litical prisoners in Siberia or elsewhere
would be permitted. The administrator
comparing LansdelPs and Kennan's pub
llshed accounts of Russian prisons, said the
latter's modus operandi was bound to prove
rived his information from dissatisfied in
mates of the prisons. The administrator
admitted that the prisons were crowded,
but he said the government was
doing its best to effect needed
reforms. The official interviewed regarding
the report of the outrages practically adj
mitted that the facts are as reported, but he
contended that Kennan and Others ethereal
lied nihilist women out of all recognitionin
their books. Every ordinary traveller in ST.
IBERIA suffers hardships. The exiles bring
troubles upon themselves being excitable
and intractable. In regard to logging for
slapping an officials face, that is frequent

THE CRAIGEND AFFAIR.
1t May Blow Over Without any Ser
ious Intern ational Complication.

IOAS
TACOMA, Wash, Special Telegram.
The British vice consul, J. B. Alex
ander of Port Townsend, the chief port of
entry of Puget sound representing the
British government has arrived here to in
vestlgate officially the unwarrantable
seizure Of the British ship Craigend
by constables. Maritime and commercial
circles are excited over his arrival. 1t is
probable now that the affair may blow over
without any serious international complica-
tions. The consul expressed that hope,
and, notwithstanding he had cabled his
government of his intended investigation,
he will try to adjudlcate matters agreeable
to both countries and satisfactory to all pri-
vate parties concerned. He boarded the
Craigend this morning, and two hours later
went with Capt. Hamilton to the office of
Alex Baille, the vessels agent, for a con-
course. This continued for another two
hours, after which they left for Seattle with
other parties. When your correspondent
saw the consul he said: II have only in
vestigated the matter briefly, and as yet
can saynothing about it. 1 have come down
here to look into the affair thor

at San Francisco, as am only a vice con-
sui. What action he will take l cannot
say; it may be that the whole matter can be
adjusted here and nothing further done
about it than to try the suit brought against
the ship in the proper courts" Speaking
of the alleged desertion of the fif-
teen negro sailors, the consul said:
"Those sailors were British subjects while
they were aboard the Craigend and were
subject to the English maritime laws. Be-
fore leaving England they signed articles to
the effect that they would remain on her
until she completed her voyage and arrived
back in England Their pay was not due
and they could leave the vessel
only with the consent of the cap
tain. If he gave them leave to be
absent from the ship for forty-eight hours
and they were away for longer period
they were deserters and forfeit all wages
they may have earned. If the men went
ashore with the captains consent in the
ships boat it does not follow that he should
have furnished them boat to get back
with; they were to get back the best way
they could" Col. Effinger. an attorney in
the case has gone to Port Townsend to get

s D. m. but the rainfall added to
water passing over the levees in
front of the city and running back
has overfowed large section of the
city. Water is flowing over the levee
rapidly at the head of Peters street and the
sidewalks and streets in the vicinity are
covered with water The water is also run
ming over the levee pretty freely at Third,
Fourth, Sixth, Eighth Toledano, Sarayaetu
and State streets. Gangs of men are working
along the levee at many points and the flow
of water into tho city may be checked if
there Is no further rise. The railroads are
doing good work in assisting the authorities
all along the line. The outlook tonight,
however, is by no means reassuring.
Dispatches from up the river say that all
the streams are still rising with the water
flowing over the leyees, but that as yet not
much has been done. If the rise continues
much larger tracts of country will be over
flowed and much damage done.

which surround the town and is rising atthe
rate of three inches an hour. The inhabi-
tants are greatly excited, and with good
reason. Should the levees break the de-

town through which the Iron mount
ain runs is foot under water, and the
trains are abandoned. Reports from the
Black river valley show that the low lands
are now under water at places so deep that
tree tops are alone visible. Jackson Port
is under water from two to four
feet. A despatch from Arkansas City
says: The condition of the levees at
this place is extremely critical If the wa

whole of Chicot county, and finally make
its way into Tensas basin. 1t is reported
that the levee at Bolivar, Miss.

port lacks confirmation. From all reports
it is only matter of time when the end

waters over the entire bottoms Men and
women are exercised almost to frenzy

OSHKOSH, Wis, Special.-One month
ago Prof. A. Bareuther fed to join the
American colony in Canada, and the an
nouncement was made that he had taken
with him more than $1,000 of money be-
longing to clients OF. his law firm. Yester-
day he unexpectedly returned. The story
told by Bareuther is that lew days before
his departure for Milwaukee John Menace
lumberman of this city, gave him an OPP
ton on certain lands in the northern part
of the state. Through correspondence
with a Milwaukee capitalist Bareuther
learned that he could dispose of the
lands and make about $1,000. When
about to start for Milwaukee to close the
deal he received So, 600 to forward to clients
in Pennsylvania, and used 5000 or $500 of
the money paying personal bills here, ex-
pecting to replace the amount when the
land deal had been consummated. 1t re-
quired some days at Milwaukee to COM
plete arrangements, and in the meantime
Bareuther lost over 5000 in gambling
rooms. At the last moment the land deal
fell through, and Bareuther was a ruined
man. Thoroughly frightened he fled to
Canada, visiting Winnipeg, Vancouver,
Seattle, Tacoma and Denver. At the latter
city he determined to return home. Bare
uther says that, although he was net intoxi-
Gated at the time of his flight, his love OF
liquor and gaming are responsible for his
downfall.
