NEW TAXES IMPOSED

BY the Spanish Government DO NOT meet
With Favor Among the Ones Taxed,
MADRID, July 2.-The new taxes i'm
posed by the government on various
branches of business are meeting with
strong opposition. 1t was only yester-
day that bourse operators refused to
transact business, owing to the tax on
bourse transactions, and to-day pop
ular demonstration was made against
the new tax placed upon retail dealers.
The men aud women doing business
In the market formed procession and
marched through the streets shouting
and yelling and in every way showing
their disapprobation Of the new tax.
When the shop-keepers heard that the
emarket people were coming they hastily
closed their doors, fearing that the pro-
cession would pillage their shops.
Those taking part in the demonstra-
ton assaulted the police who were try
ing to keep them in order, also using
insulting epithets toward the civil gov
ernor. Finally the civil guard charged
upon the mob, but met an unexpected
sresistance. Stones, heavy sticks, any
thing that came handy, were thrown at
the guard, and many Of them were
severely hurt The officer in command
gave orders to his men to prepare to
fire into the mob, and at the word a
volley was pored into the rioters. This
ended the fighting.
Many of the crowd fell with blood
pouring from their wounds while those
who were uninjured and those whose
wounds were slight, sought safety in
flight, leaving the civil guard in pos
session of the field. The wounded were
picked up and placed upon the impro-
vised filters and carried to the hospital.
It's thought that some Of them will
die.

went away and never came back. That
was in 1888. She was given the divorce.

lined with people, who kept up con-
tinual round OF enthusiastic cheering.
An immense crowd had gathered at the

every manifestation of friendship and
respect.
Mr.. Gladstone delivered one OF his
characteristic addresses. He warned
his hearers against the folly OF running
rival Liberal candidates in the present
elections. He said that unless the cleo
tors voted solidly for the candidates
which the Liberal party selected they
might as well support the representa-

A REMARKABLE STORY
Which Tells of the Remarkable sale of
San Domingo.

New YORK, April 21.--A special from
Amsterdam to the Herald says: Informa-
ton has reached here in regard to one of
the most sensational and remarkable in
ternational transactions which has been
known for many years, and which can
not fail to make great stir in England
and Germany. The transaction consists
in the virtual sale of the island republic
of San Domingo to private company in
the United Sta es, the sum agreed upon
being fixed at So, 500, 900 in per cent de-
bentures, secured on the revenue from
tobacco, etc. This concession has been
sold by Messrs.. Westendorff, the we'll
known bankers of this city, and the rep
resentatiyes of the San Domingo bond
holders.
At present nothing remains but the sig
natures of the American representatives
to complete the transaction and secure to
the United States this most important
harbor and coaling station The holder
OF this concession practically rules the
republic, because he pays the officials
and receives the revenues from the to-
bacco monopoly.
A striking feature, however, is the
statement which is made that the scheme

heavy throughout the game, Allen, Fair
banks, Hinkley and Hutchinson doing
good work, Fair anks making home
run and Allen two two baggers. The
outfield played a strong game, Chapman
having three put outs and an assist.
Burns showed himself ball player at
every turn, and his idea OF. bunting the
ball seemed to work to perfection. Allen
played good game behind the bat
and Savage covered first base in
good shape. With. a little less fumbling

the Presumscots, but the game was Bow
