A HUMAN MONSTER.
The Peon Medina Makes FnlI Confession
of His FrlghtfuI Grimes.

New YORK, August 21.-The mails
just in from Trujilo by way OF Panama,
under date OF July 25, bring the details
from the village OF Lomos de Zanora,
In the United States OF Colombia, OF the
frightful series Of child murders com
mitted there by the Peon Marcilno
Medina.
His wife and daughter RemIgia are
accessories 10, II not accomplices in,
the killing Of thirteen infants. Medina,
who has been forced 10 make full con-
fession 20 the commissary OF police, Os-
Waldo Gueri, takes his detection very
coolly, and says that he killed
his own ten children because he was
too poor 20 support them and killed his
three grandchildren 10 hide his daught-
er's shame. lie has, in spite Of his
wholesale infanticide, six sons and one
daughter in his family, and IL appears
that they all knew Of his murders and
deprecated them. But, although his
people claim TO have hated him, and al
though his neIghbors in Lomas de Ia
mora, where he has lived since 1871.
knew OF his acts all along, no complaint
ever found its way 70 the ears OF the
police until July Is, when he went 20
the town TO invoke the aid Of the police
in bringing back his daughter who had
run away with lover. Her muscular
strength was valuable on his ranch and
ne wanted her back. She was arrested
in Quilmos the next day, and in revenge
told OF her parents crime.
The old mans confession tells with
great detail the various ways In which
he murdered each one OF the thirteen I'M
fants from 1859 TO 1891. He killed
them all when they were less than FIVE
months cid. Between 1874 and 1882 he
raised the seven children he how has.
Excavations made on Medina's ranch
have disclosed the skeletons OF several
OF the babies. The brute's favorite
method Of murder was to squeeze IN
the children's chests by pressing them
against his own.

To Enroll the Militia of the States with
the Regular Army

ST. LOUIS, August 21.-The POSt-DiS-
patch this afternoon will say that a
scheme is on foot by which the militia
of all States will be put under national
pay and supervision. 1t was started by
officers of the regular army at the en-
campment of the State militia at Camp
Wickham, the other day, and circulars
and personal letters concerning it are
now flying thick and fast about the
country. 1t is the most radical plan to
change the condition Of the militia OF
the country that has risen since the
war.
The officers, Lieut.. Robert +. Evans,
of the Twelfth Infantry, and Lieut..
Joseph B. Bachelor, OF the Twenty
fourth Infantry, gave a resume OF the
plan of the encampment. After max
Ing a careful comparison OF the standing
army OF the United States with those OF
other countries they had concluded that
something must be done TO dignity the
militia forces Of this country. The
constitution Of the Association OF the
National Guards Of the United States"
provides that the national guards Of the
various States are 10 be enrolled in the
national guards of the United States,
remaining under State control In time OF
peace, but being Immediately available
for national defence in case of war.
The Governor Of any State will forward
to the Secretary of War the application
of any company OF not less than sixty
,,,o,, ,uho doSire IN iOin the Association.
Each cavalry troop will be paid $1,000
the first year it is organized and $4,000
for subsequent years. The artillery re-
cieves the same. The infantry COM
panies get 81, 900 each. Lieutenants
Evans and Batcheler said the organiza-
tion was TO be effected by bill which
Congress was to be asked TO pass at the
cnminP session.

The skirmiSh was run under United

ures, making the highest possible score
that could be made This is the first
time the feat has ever been accom-
pliShed. The run consisted Of twenty

unknown distances from 600 yards to
200 yards ana return, double time and

TWO STORIES OF A MUrINY.
Why a Captain Was Compelled to Shoot
One of His Firemen.

New YORK, Aug. 21.-Capt. Baker,
who is the commander of the Neither
land line steamship OLDHAM from Rot
terdam, which arrived here yesterday
morning, reports an attempt at mutiny
during the voyage, among.the firemen
and stokers. All of these were Social
lists and had given evidence Of their an
tagonism to the line on the previous trip
of the vessel to this port. The craft
was As hours from port, and Capt. Bak-
ker noticed the vessel began 10 slow
down, and finally stopped altogether.
Capt. Baker hurried below, He found
twenty of the firemen and coal passers
punched together alongside the fur
naces. They had drawn the fires and
the vessel was simply holding her head
to the wind with the aid of few sails,
What Is the matter with you fell
lows?" shouted the captain.
A general howl from the men was the
answer to the shippers query. "Ill
tell you what the matter is" said Peter
Duzen, who appeared to be the ring
life and we intend TO run things to suit
ourselves. That's what the matter Is. :"
"All right" said the captain; ''you
can accomplish your purpose when you
do away with me-"
''If that's so, I'll do it now" said Du-
zen, and picking up huge iron pick
he sprang at the Captain. The latter
drew back, pulled navy revolver from
his pocket, aimed IL at Duzen and fired.
The man fell at the Captains feet with
an oath. The bali had entered his left
breast and two hours later he died. The
killing Of this man quclled the mutiny.
The fires were relighted and the vessel
proceeded on her way, reaching Rotter-
dam without further incident.
At Rotterdam Capt, Baker hadsall
hands arrested Then he gave himself
up on the charge OF murder. He was
placed under $4,000 bonds to appear
for trial on the return OF the vessel tc
port next month.

Fnpli.h View of American Politics.

LONDON, August 21.-The Times In
an article on American politics says:
The Democrats are more likely TO
conauer against Blaine and Mckinley
by propounding a sober programme
with sober representative than by
trying to emulate appeals to the Ameri-
can flag and the magnificent achieve
ments of electrifying diplomacy"
After crediting Mr.. Harrison with a
manful hiding OF his disappointment,
the Times remarks that the Office Of
President has a SOLDERING influence
which will probably tone down the vi
vacity Of the manifestoes issued in Mr..
Blaiae's interest should he be elected.

Incident in Socialist Congress

BRUSSELS, August 21.-In the con-
grcss OF Socialists to-day, Mr.. Sprow, OF
the Firemen's and Seamen's Union,
made a special address, i'm which he
said that a few weeks ago the captain
of a steamer running between New
York and Rotterdam perpetrated an act
of gross cruelty. He badly fed the
crew until one OF the fremen got so Ill
that he told the captain he could not
work. The captain ordered him TO re-
sumo work, and then drew a revolver
and shot him dead. Three hundred pas
sengers signed a petition for the cap
tain's arrest. But the accursed captain
was so influential that the Dutch gov
ernment refused to punish him, and he
is now commanding vessel returning
to New York, and perhaps numbering
another man. Uproarious cries OF
''shame."

bank, posted notice on its doors that
the bank by vote of the directors had
agreed to suspend payment temporari-
ly, the cause stated being inability TO

one suffering a money loss.

Gus escape from almost instant death.
He was sitting near one OF the tanks
when the explosion occurred, and he
made a grand run for his life. The
burning oil chased him for some dis
tance, but he eventually escaped, al
though he is badly burned and may yet
die from the effects.
The only thing that is saving the sur

opposite direction from that where the

pretty one, the flames go up as high as

the ground in the most picturesque
manner. The oil is running over the

twenty-five feet. Every precaution Is
being taken, but it might be only mat

Senator Finn, one of the directors OF
