Desperate Encounter on the Border Be-
tween Mexican Soldiers and Bandits.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. July There is
excitement here tonight over the bloody at
tack on the Mexican soldiery by a number
of Mexican fibusters, who started
from this side of the Rio Grande
A dispatch from San Juan Sa-
binas, the headquarters OF Colonel Nicavo,
Valdez, says that the Colonel had been
notified that q company of bandits were
making for the interior of Mexico. He
hastily put his regiment of cavalry in
motion and started to meet them.
The flibusters had ambushed at Polaf0x,
and before the troops were aware of their
presence they had opened fire from their
Winchester rifles. Seven cavalrymen were
killed by the charge and 20 wounded.
The Mexican soldiers were panic stricken,
and retreated in disorder. Meanwhile the
bandits turned about and escaped to Amer
ican soil. 1t is feared that serious diplo-
matte complications may arise as result of
the battle, although the authorities here
knew nothing whatever of the fiiibustering
expedition.

COLUMBIA, S. c., July 1.-The cam
paign meeting at Winnsboro. Fairfield
county, to-day nearly resulted in serious
riot between the Tillman and anti -Tillman
factions. There were about 1,500
persons at the meeting, many of whom were
ladies. Two-thirds were opposed to Till
man. General Earle, one OF the candidates
for Governor on the straight out'' ticket,
was frequently interrupted by Tillman
men. and one of these proposing to pull
Earle off the stand was attacked, and
this nearly led to bloodshed. Upon
Tillman's getting up to speak. the
opposition, outnumbering his supporters,
Missed and jeered him until he finally de-
clined to speak and took a seat. Thirty of
his friends, however, mounted the stand,
and, taking him up bodily, brought him to
the front and begged him to resume his
speech.
At this the State Senator came to the
front and called the attention of the audi
ence to the fact that 20 of Mr.. Tillman's
supporters on the stand had their hands
on their pistols. At this announcement
there was the greatest con iusion. The ladies
fed from the meeting. A terrible riot was
momentarily expected, and single shot or
blow would have brought it on. The ten
sion was very great until the ending OF the
most heated meeting of the campaign.

Sir John Thompson Favors Arbitration TO
Settle the Behring Sen Dispute
,epycrkr TELEGRAM To THE prspArcu,

ESPECIAL TELhGhAh ~ DIEPATCH,l
OTTAWA, July 1.-The real object of the
hurried mission of Sir John Thompson,
Minister of Justice, to England, was in re-
sponse to cable from the British Govern
ment, and is the result of the recent inabil-
ity of Secretary Blaine and Sir Julian
Pauncefote to arrive at an understanding
with regard to the Behring sea question.
Sir John Thompson is, without doubt, the
ablest diplomat in Sir John Macdonald's
cabinet, not excepting the premier himself, be
having made international questions be-
tween Canada and the United States study
long before he entered the Government and
while vet judge of the Supreme Court of
Nova Scotia. He now goes to London to
confer with Sir Charles Tupper, and with
him jointly will lay the Canadian case be-
fore the British Government.
Sir John holds strongly to the opinion
that arbitration is the only feasible mode of
settlement, and has been most pronounced,
with other members of the Cabinet, in pro-
testing against Great Britain agreeing to
any compromise. Incidental to his trip,
Sir John will enlighten the British Cabinet
on the fisheries question as regards certain
important points which have presented
themselves recently.

BALTIMORE, July Mrs. Lo1isa Billet

A week ago the family comprised the hus-

both adults. The latter was prepossessing
young lady, about 26 years Of age, and has
had trouble with her parents in regard to
her suitors, Of whom she has had three.
The old folks we're hard to please, and always
refused their consent.
The last suitor was a teacher of music, OF
whom she was much enamored. Finding
her parents unrelenting the unhappy lover
sailed for Europe on one of the North Ger
man Lloyd steamers from Baltimore, but
previous to going he wrote Amelia, the
daughter, that he was going to the Father
hand, and she could never expect to see him
alive again. This preyed on the sensitive
mind Of the young girl, and her morbid
feelings were intensified few weeks ago
when she heard that her lover had jumped

across the Atlantic and was drowned. On
last Thursday night she was taken suddenly

NEW YORK, July 1.-The Coney Island
Jockey Club will conclude one of its most sue

at one mile and five furIongs, the double event
for 2-year-olds over the Futurity course,
and the stirrup cup for 8-year-
olds and upward at mile

bids fair to be great race, although there are
really no hrst-class colts or lllies engaged for
the event. The Western colt, Palisade is an
unknown quantity, but of the Eastern division,
LisImony on public form, has a great chance
for winning. Her Highness will give him an
argument though, even at her disadvantage in
weight and Mr.. Bemont's filly should certainly
be no worse than third The Hearst pair,
Tournament and King Thomas. have hosts of
admirers, as have the Scott pair, Banquet and
Torso. 1t would be well to bear IN mind,
though, that Palisade did not come from
Chicago for nothing.

PRAISE TO WHOM IT Is DUE.

The Work of Rescue n Monument TO Science
md Energy.
nPECfAL TKLEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.I
DUNBAR, July 1.-The general opinion
among miners tonight is that the best
possible was done. They all hold that the
men perished shortly after the fash of gas.
They all started to run for the slope, and
were caught in the smoke and flame and
perished instantly. The work showed the
humanity of working through the Mahoning
mine instead of the Ferguson.
1t is now stated that the men were alive
but few minutes after the explosion. This
was not known at the time the work of res
cue began. 1t meant instant death to any
man who was alive. The whole rescue is a
monument to the science of the engineers
and Mine Inspectors.

The prospects for races on the Fourth are
mot the most brilliant. The three-minute trot
has eight entries, but the others have not been
filled. An effort will be made to fix them up,
however.
The local horses will not go IN the 2:2S pace,
as they want to enter the 2:25 pace in the
Grand Circuit, and are afraid Of making bet
Der records.
Several will not be seen at the grand circuit
meeting at Homewood. Marvin has taken his

therefore, be no special at the meeting, but it
is thought the free-for-au trot will be a good
