CUTTING AND SHOOTING
In One Place Negotiations for
Peace Are Being Urged, While
In Another Bombardment
Is the Order.

LONDON, March 29.-The Times will to-
morrow publish a dispatch from Pekin,
saying that further excitement has been
caused in that city by the reports OF Jap
anese advances on Shanghal-kwan and
the island of Formosa, and an attempt to
assassinate Ii Hung Chang at Shimoneski
The correspondent learns that Ii Hung
Chang is now about to continue the peace
negotiations, though hc still remains
much disturbed by the attempt upon his
life. The Japanese officers are very
watchful to prevent any further trouble.
1t is reported in Pekin that the attack
on Ii Hung Chang was made by Koyama
Rokunosuki, in revenge for the execution
of his brother in Tien Tsin at the begin
ming of the war.
A Hong Kong dispatch to the Times says
that the general commanding the Chinese
forces on Pescadera island telegraphed
on March % that he had sunk two
Japanese vessels. Later he telcgraphed
that the Japanese had captured two forts.
A Shanghai dispatch to the Times says
that nine Japanese cruisers and two gun
boats, the squadron being under the COM
mand of Admiral Ito, bombarded the
forts on Panghui island on March %.
One thousand troops wera landed and an
attack was made on the fort which domi-
mated the others. The Chinese evacuated
the position during the night and the
Japanese entered on the morning of
March "A. The Japanese then turned the
guns on the other forts which made no re-
ply. The magazine of one of the western
forts exploded before the position was
evacuated by its defenders.
Only 1000 prisoners were taken, the
other Chinese being allowed to escape in
junks. The Japanese loss was one killed
and q wounded. The victors will leave
5000 men 10 guard Penghui island. Pro-
visions for four months will also be left
there. The Japane Sc have now secured a
southern basis for their operations, and
the fleet is about to leave in view of peace
having been established on the island.
The British cruisers Leander and Spar
tan have arrived at Taku. The British
vessel Alacrity with the admiral on board
left Shaghai to-day for Formosa. Nine
warships which steamed down the east
coast of Formosa passed South Cape on
March %. A junk was captured by the
Japanese and those on board we're ques
toned as TO the locality of British warships
after which the junk and its crew were
released. The British consul has ad
vised that all foreign women and children
leave Formosa. A number have already
gone to Annoy and Hong Kong. The
blacks in Southern Formosa are very in
solent towards the 40 whites who compose
the foreign population on that part of the
island.
This is the latest bulletin from the seat
of war, issued this morning:
HONG KONG, March 30.-The Japanese
are bombarding Tai Wan, the capital oi
Formosa.

EVANSTON, Wyo., March 29.-In the
case of the 81 men killed in the Red Cam
yon mine disaster, the corners jury, after
four days spent in examining witnesses
and investigating tho matter, returned a
verdict this evening as follows:
We, the jury. do find that the above named
persons (enumerating the 81 who were killed.
came to their death by being killed IN an explo-
sion in No mine at Red Canyon, wyo, March
80, the cause OF said explosion apparently oc-
curing from fire damp and possibly augmented
by coal dust
Over 20 witnesses we're examined and
the most intense interest was manifested
by all classes of citizens.
William Graham, whose son lost his
life in the mine, foreman of No. mine,
also operated by the Central Pacific. has
resigned his position with the intention,
it is believed, of bringing suit against the
company for the death OF his boy. Relief
funds and stores are pouring in gener-
ously and nobody will be allowed TO
suffer.

SALT LAKE, March 29.-Nearly the en-
tire day was taken up again in the consti-
tutioual convention in n discussion of the
woman suffrage question. Roberts and
Goodwin spoke against the measure aud
yarian and others in favor of il. Roberts
insisted that woman suffrage would en-
danger the constitution. He referred TO
woman suffrage in other states and said
that of the 5000 women registered in
Chicago on last election, only 5000 voted
and 5000 of the number we're so disgusted
that they would never go TO the polls
again. Varian claimed that suffrage
should be granted because it was one of
the pledges of the people.

AiIsa Defeats britannia.

NICE, March 29.-The Ailsa and Britain
MIA started at IL to-day with reefed MAIN
sails and housed topmasts in a race for
the James Gordon Bennett cup, valued at
$4,000, and 5000 in specie. The Prince of
Wales cutter crossed the line with lead
of three lengths, and kept ahead to the
first stake boat. There the Britannia lost
the lead. Tho finish was grand. The
times crossing the line were: Ailsa,
2:26 AS; Britannia, 2:2s:i6.
The contest to-day was one of the finest
ever seen. Both yachts were sailed in
mastery style, and the result forms a re-
liable test of the two racers, as the advau-
tages gained were about evenly balanced.
The result shows that the Ailsa is good in
a fresh wind and sea.

CARRoLToN, NO., March 29.-In the Tay-
lor trial to-day, a young brother of the man
OH trial and James &. Taylor, were the
principal witnesses for the defense.
Charles swore on the day of the murder
he searched for blood stains on the
wagon, which IT is charged had contained
the bodies of the Meeks. but failed to find
any. He was cross-examined at great
length. James {. Taylor, father of the
prisoners, told how his son George came
TO his farm on the evening of May IL and
borrowed his team and wagon to go to
Browning. The wagon and team were
returned at sunrise the next morning. He
saw no evidence that the team had been
driven hard before and there were no
signs of blood on IL. Mr.. Taylor was
asked to explain how the wagon bed be-
came burned after the discovery of the
murder and he said his grandchild used
It for play house and some straw in il
might have been set on fire with matches.
II is expected that both William and
George Taylor and their wives will be put
on the stand tomorrow.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March 29.--It is re-
ported here that secret movement is on
foot to organize, equip and embark direct
from Jacksonville and Fernando an army
of 1900 Cubans and negroes for service
in the insurrection in Cuba. The govern
ment IS reported to be managed by tho
Cuban revolutionists. Tho ground re-
ported to be taken by the managers is
that the Spanish officials insistently deny
that an insurrection exists in Cuba, and
she cannot make valid complaint at
Washington against the filibustering ex-
pedition. The United States can and will
proceed against filibusterIng only when
Spain gives formal notice that an insur-
rection exists in Cuba.

Preparing for Trip

The Hawaiian Minister Is Said to BE
Preparing for Trip
WASHINGTON, March 29.-There were
indications that Mr.. Willis, our minister
to Hawaii. is to take leave of absence
from his post. One story is that he will
go to Japan for a time and another is that
he will return to the United States. The
state department officials will not say
anything about the matter but content
themselves with pointing to the fact that
the minister has now been at his post for
more than year, and, according to the
usual practice of the department., is en-
titled to leave of absence if he desires il
and the conditions in the country to which
he is accredited admit of his leaving. 1t
would not be surprising therefore if the
minister was found to be a passenger on
the United States ship Philadelphia when
she returns to Mare Island, as she must
do shortly.
During his absence tho United States
legation in Honolulu will be left In charge
of Ellis Mills, the secretary of the lega-
tion, which will exactly correspond in Of
fetal status with the Hawaiian legation
u Washington. In this case tho condi-
tions will be precisely parallel to those at
Baron Fava went home and Minister Por-
ter spent nine months roaming through
Switzerland and other European coun-
tries on full pay, leaving the legation in
Rome in the hands of Charles Whitehouse
and the Italian legation in Washington
in care of the Marquis Rudinl.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Thc will of
the late Frederick Douglass was found to-
day. 1t is dated Aug. 30, 1886, and gives
the widow the house and 15 acres of land
in Anacosta, ID. c., also 1000 of United
States bonds and $4,000 of money TO be
derived from other property. His daughter,
Rosetta ID. Sprague, and three sons, Louis
", Frederick and Charles, receive an
equal share, amounting to about $4,000
each. The will was witnessed by only
two persons. The law, it is said, requires
three witnesses to pass upon real estate,
and will, therefore, it is declared, be in
validate as far as the transfer of the real
estate is concerned. As to personal prop
erty, however, il is said the will is valid.
The petition for probating the will sets
forth that the deceased died possessed of
about $4,000 in personal property. A
hearing on the application for probate
will be had next Friday.

WASHINGTON, March cit is expected
at the navy department that Admiral
Meade will sail with his squadron to-mor-
row from Kingston, Jamaica, for Car
thage. Colombia, for coal. 1t will be April
3 before they sail for Colon. After leav-
ing Colon, Admiral Meade will work along
up the coast of Central America. II is
probable that either the Atlanta or the
Raleigh will be left on guard at Colon for
a few weeks. Coming northward, the
squadron will touch al Port Limon, Costa
Rica, and then at Greytown. The fact
that Admiral Meade is due at Bluefie!ds
on April IA in some quarters has been con-
strued to mean that the United States Is
about to make demonstration by force
to restrain Great Britain from intimidat-
ing Nicaragua.
Future movements of ships arc under
contemplation in the navy department.
Within a few months a number of vessels
will go out of commission and some OF
the new vessels will receive the men who
have been doing duty on the older ships.
One of the important changes to be made
is the sending of the Olympia from the
Mare Island naval station to Honolulu to
relieve the Philadelphia. The Philadel-
phia will be docked and scraped at Mare
Island and will then go to the Asiatic
squadron, relieving the flagship Balti-
moro.

DRAWING TO A CLOSE
At Least a Temporary Cessation Of
HOStilitieS.
AN ARMlSTlCE ORDERED
Upon Certain Conditions the
Japanese Government Ac-
cepts the Proposition of
the Chinese Envoy.
ORDERED
AN ARMS TlCE

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The news that
an unconditional armistice has been de-
clared by the emperor of Japan was con-
firmed at the Japanese legation, where it
was stated that a cablcgram TO this effect
had been received from the home govern
ment.
The power of the Japanese government
to execute the armistice will now be put to
a crucial test. The military power of
Japan has almost outstripped the civil
power during the war. This has caused
serious concern, as it has been feared that
the military element backed by the war
spirit among the people would not submit
to an armistice. even if the civil author
tiles ordered one. To meet this emer-
gency a change of army commanders was
recently made.
There have been three army corps
operating in different campaigns and
each under a general of supreme author
ity over his particular campaign. About
three weeks ago, in anticipation of the
armistice, Prince Komatsu was created
commander-in-chief over all the armies.
The object of this step was to concentrate
authority in one man in close touch with
the imperial household, who could thus
execute an armistice 10y simultaneous
cessation of hostilities by the army. 1t
now remains to be seen whether Prince
Komatsu can execute the important COM
mission given him. The splendid discip-
line shown by the army during the war
gives assurance that there will be inn
mediate acquiescence by the military.
And yet Prince Komatsu has to contend
against a war spirit infiamed by many
victories.
1t has been said that an armistice
would be so unpopular among the people
and soldiery that it would assure the po-
litical retirement of two Japanese states
men-Count Ito and Mr.. Matsu-who
have served as peace ENJOYS. The full
text of the cable received at the Japanese
legation to-day regarding the armistice, is
as follows:
On the opening of the negotiations, the Chi.
nese plenipotentiary proposed armistice, which
Japan was willing to accept on certain condi-
tions. While this negotiation was going on, the
outward event happened on the person Of the
Chinese plenipotentiary. His majesty, the EN-
peror, in view of this unhappy occurrence, com
manded the Japanese npotentiaries to con
| sent TO temporary armistice without conditions
This was communicated to the Chinese pleni-
| potentiary.

PHILADELPHIA, March 29.-The million
pounds of sugar brought to this port by
the steamer Remus from Hamburg, and
which it was alleged contained enough
arsenic to poison half the population of
this city, was sold at auction to-day by the
government for S4 600, which amount COW
ers the duty. The sugar was purchased
by ii. X. Kelley, a sugar broker of this
city. Before the sale was announced the
chemists of the state board of health and
the city board had analyzed a portion of
the sugar, but failed to find any trace of
arsenic. The appraised value of the
sugar was S17,27O, and the original value
of the goods $23. 1868.
