REBELS DESTROY A TOWN
Yumuri, a Cuban Seaport,
Devastated by the In
SurgentS.
Return of a Steamer With People
Who Lost All They Possessed
In the World.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept 24.-After
an unsuccessful search for Yumuri. a
Cuban seaport, the British steamship Gull
more, fruit-carrier, which was sent there
to load bananas for Philadelphia, returned
to this port tonight and reported that the
entire town had been devastated by the in
surgents' torch on September Is ana
destroyed, not home having escaped the
ravages of the flames. Several of the
refugees were picked up along the coast of
the former town and brought to Philadel-
phia on board the Culmore.
Among the number were Colonel Miguel
Arrue, prominent fruit exporter, his wife
and family, and J. Rodriguez and several
women and children, who formerly lived
| in comfortable circumstances at Yumuri.
| They were for the most part engaged in
| shipping bananas and cocoanuts to Phila-
delphia and New York, and they lost all
| their property.
Prominent citizens of Yumuri sympa-
| thized with Spain in her warfare upon the
| Cubans, and the insurgents determined
| that in order to render such sympathy in
| effectual they would destroy the town.
Hundreds of persons, many of them the
| poorer classes, were left HON elesS. A
mountain railway, or fruit elevator, used
| to carry the bananas from the mountains
where they grow, to the seashore, was also
| totally destroyed. 1t was novel elevated
road and transported bananas by unique
means ten or twelve miles to the coast. This
road was owned by J. d. Hart and syndi-
| cate of Philadelphia and New York fruit
! dealers and cost the proprietors many
| thousands of dollars. They propose to
hold the Spanish Government responsible
for the damage to their property.
| HAVANA, CUBA, Sept. 24.-Reports
have been received here that Colonel Her
nandez, commanding the Government
troops in the Sagua district, overlook a
| band of rebels on the plantation of Gar
idad and routed them. Pursuing them, he
attacked them again at Libano, killing
three, taking three prisoners and capturing
a quantity of horses, arms, ammunition,
etc. 1t is also reported from Sancti Spir-
! titus officially that Lieutenant Colonies
| Navas and Cavestany with their combined
| forces had battle with the rebels at Olasita
on September 81, in which four rebels were
killed.
| MADRID, SPAIN, Sept. "a. "A special to
| the impartial from Havana says that on
| Saturday last force of 600 rebels sur
prised party of thirty-six Government
troops under Captain Reestra at Palma
Sofa in the Sagua district: The soldiers
made a strong resistance, but were over
powered by numbers and twenty OF them
were killed. Captain Reestra and the re-
naming sixteen of the party succeeded in
making their escape.

WOULD FREE IRELAND

or peace at any price policy of the Irish
parliamentary party. The dissatisfaction
failed to evolve into anything more definite.
however, until within a few months ago,
when as result Of the general election,
the Rosebery Government, which, although
Liberal in name, had friendly leanings to-
ward the Healyites and O'Brienites, was
replaced by an administration of those i'm
placable foes of Irish agitation, the Tories,
with an overwhelming majority in the
House OF Commons at its back.
Just as soon as the result Of the election
was foregone conclusion, there was an in
terehange of opinion between representa-
tive Irishmen in different parts of the
country affiliated with the old National
League, as well as with the Ancient Order
of Hibernians, the Clan-na- Gael and kim
dred organizations. This was followed by
conference Of those interested, and then
the Irish race in America was electrified
by lengthy and vigorous "call to action"
and to which the signatures of scores of
Celts OF national reputation were attached.
This document declared that the Irish
struggle for freedom had reached mo-
mentous period; that their native country
had been abandoned in the crisis OF her
fate by the Liberal leaders; that she had
been alternately betrayed by the Wings
and dragooned by the Tories; that parlia-
mentary agitation. after long and patient
trial, had utterly failed to accomplish its
object, and that, therefore, it only re-
NAMED to consider what other method OF
procedure or argument could be used to
achieve her liberation. To the proclama
ton was attached call to Irish societies
of all kinds-political, social, beneficial
and literary-to send delegates to con-
ference to open in this city to-day. The
appeal met with hearty reception, al
though it was antagonized by an element
of the race on the ground that 1t was
more the forerunner of an h-Ameriean
political movement than genuine effort
in behalf OF the mother isle. Over 1000
delegates were selected or designated by
societies, and the majority of these have
been on the ground for several days.

FLAT DENIAL OF CHARGES.
Wyoming Officials Declare That THes

CHEYENNE, WYo., Sept. 24.-In an
open letter TO the Secretary of the Interior,
signed by Governor Richards, Secretary of
State c. w. Burdick, State Engineer Mead,
State Treasurer Hay and State Auditor
Owen, general and specific denial is made
to the charges recently made by State Sena-
tor Robert Foote, to the Interior Depart
ment, charging Governor Richards, Treasu-
rer Hay, Senators Warren and Clark and
other prominent Wyoming officials with
fraud in connection with the operations of
the Carey land act. The letter details
the manner of procedure adopted by the
land board in carrying the Carey act into
effect and gives the names of all applicants
for land under the act. The letter de.
nounces Foote'S charges as scurrilous and
libelous, and states that no attention
would have been paid to them had the au-
thor not attempted, in addition to assas-
sinating the reputation of the Wyoming
State officials, to attack honorable citizens
of other States, who in good faith, in &C
cordance with the Wyoming laws, are
giving their money and energies to the de-
velopment of the resources of this State.

Tice, alias Niger Bill, aged years. was
to-day found guilty of burglary and sem
fenced to the Hutchinson reformatory.
The little fellows brief life has been a
career of crime, and yet on account q the

Wichita by band of gypsies when baby

education. Racing men have carried him
about from city to city as a mascot, and
the knowledge of horses which he has
thus acquired is marvellous. OF late he
grew extraordinarily bold in his crimes
and his youth had always given him im-
munity from punishment. The tiremen
are inconsolabe.

SAN JOSE FAIR RACES,
Fred Mason and Ethel Downs
the Winners of the
Events.
Contest Covered in 2:1O
Fiat,

SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. 24.-The OPEN
ing day of the annual fair of the Santa
Clara Valley Agricultural Society was a
success. The weather was clear and sunny,
the track was never IN better condition,
and the crowd, while not large, was of good
size for first day. Most important of a IL,
the races were excellent and the time made
satisfied even the most exacting race
goers.
The feature of the day was the fast mile
made by Fred Mason, who, in the first
heat Of the initial race, paced a mile in
2:10. Fred Mason was a hot favorite in
the special 2:13 class pace. After scoring
dozen times the horses were sent away
with Fred Mason in the lead, Plunkett
second, Hanford Medium third and
Ketchum last. Ketchum has reputation
for Ill temper, and he was at his worst.
He is capable of putting up good race,
but he only went as far as the eighth pole,
where he deliberately ran into the fence.
He was then sent back to the stables. The
positions of the other three horses never
changed. Mason finished we'll in the lead i,
making a new record for himself, having
paced the mile in the fast time of 2:10.
The next heat was a repetition of the
first, although not so fast. Mason led all
the way around. Plunkett again followed
him under the wire, with Hanlord Medium
an indifferent third. The third heat fur
nished a pretty contest between Mason
and Plunkett, and coming up the stretch
it looked as though the favorite would be
beaten out. Mason had just enough left
in him to win, beating the game Plunkett
by head.
The 2:23 class trotting race called out
five horses. In the betting Ethel Downs
was great favorite, and she led from the
start. A pretty race ensued when the
stretch was reached, at which point Ethel
Downs led Native State by length. Ma
tive State made a great effort, but the
black mare was too fast for him. Ethel
Downs won the heat in 2:14, Native State
second, Letter B third, Maud FL fourth and
Lady o nth.
In the second heat the black mare again
started off in the lead and was never
headed Letter B broke shortly after
crossing the wire and dropped back from
third to last. Native State gave Ethel
Downs great contest for the third and
final heat of the race. but Heating let the
black mare out coming down the stretch,
and Native State was beaten by head.

circular to the several County Auditors:
SACRAMENTO, Cal, Sept. "a, 1895.
Dear Sir: Referring to our order of August
80, 1895, in which the property OF your county
was ordered reduced 10 per cent, you are
hereby instructed as follows:
In all cases where the property rs subject to
q mortgage or trust deed the percentage must
first be deducted from the assessment of the
property affected, and the deduction made
from the decreased assessment; and the change
must correspondingly be made in the total.
value column, otherwise there will be less
amount OF taxes raised than is necessary
for State purposes. To illustrate: Sup
pose that is assessed for a tract of
land valued at $1,000, subject to a
mortgage of $500, and the percentage, say 10
per cent, deducted, would be 800 Total as
sessment 5000. The deduction for mortgage
interest, $500, aud the amount upon which
taxes would be levied upon AS property would
be $400; but suppose AS property was assessed
for $1,000, subject to a mortgage of $780, the
10 per cent reduction on the property making
it 5000, the mortgage interest could not be
greater than the assessed value OF the prop

ing the county records for some time

submit his report While nothing is
known as to what hls report will con-
tain, il is thought that the report will
prove satisfactory to everybody con,
cerned. As it will be necessary for
the commissioners to meet in the very
near future, it has been suggested by
some that it would not be out of
place for the commissioners to act
favorahly upon certain petition
which is said to oe in circulation.
This petition will ask the commission.

to the election will be done without
expense to the people Certainly if
such should prove true we can see no
valid excuse for the commission.
