ASIATIC ATROCITIES.
THE HORRIBLE FATE OF COMMITS.
SIONER QUINTON.
More Irish Pates Broken-French Rep
resentatives Snubbed in Berlin.

LONDON, April 12.-The latest advices
from India concerning the massacre at
Manipur are that Commissioner Quinton
was decapitated and his body horribly
mangled, the limbs being thrown out
side the city walls, where they were de-
voured by dogs. Two officers, whose
names are not given, and a bugler, were
spared. Mr.. Grimwood, BritishIpolitical
agent, and two other officers, were shot.
The bodies of all the victims were brut-
ally mutilated and thrown to the dogs.
MORE HEADS BROKEN IN IRELAND.
DUBLIN, April 12.-Anti-Parnellites,
Tanner and Deasy, tried to speak at Nc
Groom today, but their voices were
drowned by tho hooting and ehoering of
the factions. The noise was
soon followed by blackthorns,
and fight ensued. Charge followed
charge, the advantage resting first with
one side and then with the other. Sew
eral of the wounded lay on the ground
for some time, and were trampled upon.
The combatants at last rested from
sheer exhaustion. Many of the injured
are in serious condition.
THE KAISER AND HIS NAVY.
BERLIN, April 12.-In speech at the
marine academy, at Kiel, the kaiser
said the navy would exercise the chief
offensive part in the next war, and
should endeavor to annihilate the
enemy by a grand coup, its duties in
this respect resembling those of the
cavalry ashore.
FRENCH SNUBBED IN BERLIN.
PARIS, April 12.-Herbette, French
ambassador to Germany, has sent
Minister of Foreign Affairs Ribot dis
patch full of misgivings as to the nature
of the relations with the Berlin foreign
office. He says Chancellor Won Caprivi
treats him with formal polite
ness, while Emperor William, who
was formerly affable, now speaks curtly,
and has shown positive i'll humor to-
ward Frenchmen whom Herbette has
introduced at receptions. All this,
which is undoubtedly due to dissatis-
faction with the treatment received by
Empress Frederick, in Paris, causes in
creased anxiety in government circles
here.
THE MINERS LEAGUE.
The leaders of the recent miners con-
gress are arranging to appoint general
strike executive committee, composed
equally of representatives of French,
English, German and Belgian miners.
The German miners have decided in the
event of strike in Belgium to also strike
if German collieries endeavor to supply
Belgium with coal. The English
delegates also guarantee to stop the ex-
port OF coal. If the new system Of
drawing upon American coal weakens
their position, the executive committee
will open communication with American
unions. The strike agitations in Amer
lea are being watched with keen inter

JOHN BULLS LOSS.
An Error That Will Cost Him Small
Slice Of Territory.

An Error That Will Cost Him a Small
Slice of Territory.
SAN Francisco, April 12.-The Chroni-
cle's Seattle special says A mistake
which will cost the British government
a piece OF territory about as large as the
state OF Rhode Island, has just come to
light. Ensign Edward Moale. jr., of the
United States navy, and connected with
the coast and geodetic survey, is au-
thority for the statement that the iron
monuments at Blaine, WASH, and for
many miles east Of there, are 800 yards
north of the forty-ninth parallel, which
should be the proper boundary. He
says the mistake was discovered three
years ago while he was on coast sur
vey steamer, and has never been Off
cially reported at Washington. He says
the mistake was probably made in 1852
by the surveyors in Northern Montana.
1t is trifling at first, but keeps widening
out until it covers $50 yards at the
straits of Georgia.

STARVATION AND SICKNESS.
The Only Condition That VIII Make tn

Coke Strikers Surrender.
SCorTDALE, Pa, April 12.-The coke
region was alive with strikers mass
meetings today. The labor leaders are
eparing no efforts to solidify their ranks
and straighten up the wavering points.
They were out in full force today, and
have stationed their -pickets in the hope
OF checkmating the reported general
movement of the operators for resump-
ton, which is to be inaugurated tomor-
row. With this end in view, the COM
panies have already had the
fires rekindled in the engine
boilers at a number of plants
where idleness has reigned for nine long
weeks. The foreign elements are hold
ing meetings at a number Of places this
evening, but no outbreaks are feared,
though it is well-known fact that they
were celebrating the withdrawal of the
Eighteenth regiment. The labor lead
ers assert that money is all that is
needed now to prolong the strike, as the
only conditions that will cause return
to work on the part of the men are
starvation and sickness.

Indians Won't Enlist.

ST. LOUIS, April 12-Colonel Wade,
OF the Fifth United States cavalry, at
Fort Reno, says in his report to General
Merritt in regard to the enlistment OF
Indians in the regular army, that strong
efforts have been made to induce In
dams to enlist, but they are OF no avail.
General Merritt thinks the attempt on
the part OF the government to enlist In
dians as regular soldiers will prove a
failure. They will serve as scouts with
out hesitation, but have positive aver
sion to enlisting as either infantrymen
or cavalrymen.

condition. The end finally came with
out struggle and without pain.

the time of Secretary Proctor's visit to
San Diego. He took part in the recep-
ton accorded the secretary, although

usual. On Wednesday he was so
ill that he was compelled to
summon medical assistance. His cold
settled upon his lungs and soon devel-
oped into pneumonia. Drs. Huntington
and Edwards, his physicians, recognized
the governors great danger, and imme-

the disease. On Saturday he improved
somewhat, but toward sunset relapse
occurred, aod he became very restless
and feverish. From that time on he
sank rapidly.
THE RELATIVES SUMMONED.
kilograms were sent to the governors
daughter, Mrs. Rice, at San Bernardino,
and DR.. ]. s. Waterman of New York,
his son, summoning them to San Diego.
The members of the family remained
close to the dying mans bedside, to be-
present when the final moment came.s
The arrangements for the funeral have
not been completed as yet, but it has
been decided that the services will take
place Tuesday, with the interment at

from San Bernardino, one hour too late
to see her father for the last time alive.
DIR. Waterman is now on the way from
New York.

Coyotes had 1900 horses, and equally
as many cattle, of which they lost all

emphasis that did not permit of any
Misunderstanding G. A. Spreckels of
the big sugar refinery, has placed the

Sugar Refinery company, whereby home
production was to be limited to 1000
barrels day, in return for which con-
cession the Havemeyer & Elder combin-
alton in San Francisco was to be closed,

Late Advices Show That Foreign Residenta
Are in Great Danger.
According to advices by the steamer City Of
Rio de Janeiro, which arrived at San Francisco
from Hong Kong via Yokohama yesterday, the
war spirit IL still rampant in China While
very few actual outrages have occurred since
the arrival of the Last China steamer. the for
eign population Of Shanghai expect an out
break daily. THE Chinese are at war among
themselves" said an officer Of the Rio this
afternoon, but that will not make the slightest
difference when an uprising takes place. They
all hate Europeans and will combine to drive
them out Of the country. II is q great pity
that the United States has not feet over there
to protect American interests. All other ma
tons are well represented, while We have only
the Palos."
When told that the Charleston, Alert, Mo-
hican and Monocacy had been ordered to
Shanghai. he said: 81 am glad to hear it. They
will be badly needed there before another
month goes by"
In Yenpien, China. on the 18th instant, q
woman proclaimed that she had lost her four
teen-year-old son and that she suspected the
missionaries had stolen and concealed him
within church. She gathered large crowd,
who, at the latest reports, had demolished the
church and school house. During the riot one
of the leaders of the mob was killed.
Trouble is feared at Foochow, that city hav-
ing been placarded by the natives urging the
of foreigners. The native popu-
lation of Foochow have, always borne intense
hatred toward the foreign inhabitants.

The Sons of Veterans.

1t is expected that there will be lively dis
cussion before the Grand Commandery at the
annual encampment of the Sons Of Veterans at
Minneapolis, over the demand Of Col. W. S.
Payne of Fostoria, Ohio, for reinstatement.
Payne was commander-in-chief in 1886, but was
dishonorably discharged for alleged misuse of
the orders funds. This decree was approved
by court-martial which met in Minneapolis
last April. Payne now appeals to the Grand
Commandery. He admits that he invested the
orders funds in real estate, but says he did SO
because it was safer than bank. When the
money, 81 ,647.48. was demanded, he could not
convert the property quickly. He says he
offered to give bond when elected commander
ln-chief, but this was declined. He had been
reinstated once, when the court-msrtial dis
charged him dishonorably, and had been elected
captain of his local camp. The Grand Com
mandery was called to order shortly after q
o'clock yesterday afternoon. 1t went into ex-
ecutive session for the rest Of the afternoon,
the principal business being the reception of

lin says that in the explosion Of enthusiasm in
France over the Franco Russian alliance It per
ceives the promise Of . tempest the conss-
quences Of which no one can now calculate.
There Is no longer talk Of Cancellation nor Of
forgetting the past Continuing in the same
alarmist strain the paper declares that there is
no question Of the existence among the French
people Of aspirations and feverish Desires
which, through q chance occasion, or even
some hasty utterance, may at any time lead up
TO acts OF vengeance. After commenting bit
teriy upon the unquenchable desire Of France
10 regain possession of Alsace-Lorraine, the
hre'x Zeitung says: "France is warned" but
adds that it fears that the voice of calm reason
Will not prove sufficiently strong to guide along
safe paths the prevailing agitation. This re-
markable article concludes as follows: 1--WE con-
slder the passing events of today in Paris as q

will be told that the directors have rejected
three men in succession who were nominated
for chief Of horticulture, and the fourth nomi-
nation, John NJ. Samuels, Of Kentucky, has
been hung up until the directors determine
whether it win be safe to reject him also. The
local board is understood to have declared that
it will have California man for the place,
preferably Shorb, Of Pasadena and Los Angeles.
