Like the savior he was of humble origin, having been a lowly shepherd in Arizona, and he seemed to delight in the solitude cf the calling. He was regarded as a man of uncommonly gentle character, moody and abstracted at times, yet never morose. He wore his hair long and it was still growing when he re- ceiyed the call to go out and heal the sick.

CHICAGO, July 24-Wheat went
up in long jumps today, closing at
an advance of AS cents for Septem-
Der. Light receipts scared the shorts
and their vigorous covering caused
the bulge. September corn and oats
each gained 5s cent, and provisions
closed slightly higher. At the start
in wheat there were buyers at near
ly one cent advance, and, in con-
trast to yesterday mornings report
of the Liverpool market, which came
weak, following a strong market
here, it was quoted firm notwith-
standing yesterdays One-cent de-
cline at Chicago. In half an hour
from the opening September, which
started at from 6SH cents to 6S1a
cents, had raised to 5s cent per
bushel advance over the previous
days closing price. The Chicago in
spection sheet gave the days re-
ceipts at tWenty-one carloads, eigh-
teen of which were of new wheat,
and not one of the latter was up to
the contract grade. A year ago today
3S9 cars were received here, and of
that number 317 carloads graded
contract. The total amount at the
Western primary markets today was
1885, 900 bushels, as against 1861, 900
bushels on the corresponding day
the year before. Philadelphia was
the only port from which any wheat
cleared, and 26,10O bushels was the
amount, and of flour the total ship
ments were 10,903 barrels. The Min
neapolis and Duluth receipts were
lat cars, against 276 a year ago. The
barren condition of the winter wheat
was emphasized by the receipts here
of orders this morning from millers
in Michigan and Kansas and pur-
chases in fulfllment of them of TO-
600 bushels for each place for i'm
mediate shipment. After the advance
to 705s cents noted above, reduced
the price of 69% cents again, but
there was a constant~affection shown
all day for an elevation above the
70-cent level, and it on numerous
occasions knocked up against 701a.
Near the close the shorts We're buy

reached 7212 cents, and closed at

SPANISH SEVERITY,
Strict Orders to the Inhabitants
of a Cuban Province

WASHINGTON, July N.-Some idea
of the severity of the measures which
the Spanish officials in Cuba have been
obliged to adopt to check the spread
of the insurrection may be gathered
from the following proclamation is
sued by the governor of the province
of Santa Clara, a copy of which has
been transmitted to the state depart
ment by ]. j. Casanova, vice counsel
at Cienfuegos:
"D'Augustin Lugue y'Coca, brigadier
general of the province of Santa Clara,
to the inhabitants of the same. The
savageness of those who apply the
torch, who steal and murder under the
cry of Viva Cuba Libre' and the
propagators who disgrace the Cuban
people, recruiting partisans for the
herds commanded by incendiaries and
highwaymen, compel me, with most
painful feeling, to adopt energetic
measures. which / frankly confess
shall be carried out to the extreme if
the noble war made by our valiant
army is responded to by murder and
pillage. For the present 1 decree the
folloving edict:
article /. Every countryman on
entering or leaving town shall be pro-
vided with his personal certificate and
with his evidence of his ownership of
the horse he may be riding, and may
exhibit them to an agent of the gov
ernment that might demand them.
"Article 2. 1t is prohibited to travel
in the country or in the outskirts of
the town, from sunset to sunrise, with
the understanding that the patrols and
forces in operation will retain and put
at my disposal all persons infringing
this rule not provided with proper
permits.
"Article3. All permits to carry arms,
which are not countersigned by the
military governors office, are null and
void. Residents in the country who
are in possession of any kind of arms
shall deposit them within the period
of ten days with the posts of the civil
guard or detachments nearest to their
abodes, the chiefs of which shall issue
them proper voucher.
article 4. 1t is only for agricultural
work that working 'machetes' may be
kept in their residences, but it is
absolutely prohibited to carry the same
outside of their respective landed prop
erty.
"Article 5. Those infringing the ord
ers, as we'll as the agitators of opinion,
and those who abet and harbor them,
shall be indicted for the crime of re-
bellion, tried in accordance with the
code of justice, and punished with all
the severity of the civil laws.
article 6. The municipal mayors
and mayors of circumspection shall

MANAGES CONFESSION.
Tale of a Lunatic who Wants to
Free DUrant.

SANTA CRUZ, Cal, July A.-In the
county jail here is confined William F.
Barrett, who says he murdered
Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams
in Emanuel church last April. He
gave himself up to the chief Of police
as a dangerous criminal last night.
Today he was discharged as a harm
less lunatic. Then he went to the
sheriff, to whom he confessed his guilt
as perpetrator of the Emanuel church
murders. To the district attorney he
told a story that at first seemed plauS-
ible, but when Barrett went into the
details of the crime the inconsistencies
of his statements convinced his audit
ors of his perfect innocence and COM
plete insanity. Barrett, who was
formerly a. waiter in a San Francisco
restaurant, says he saw Durrant and
the girls on street car, and admiring
Miss Lamont and Miss Williams, he
boarded the car in the hope of making
their acquaintance. The trio alighted
at Emanuel church, Barrett following.
Durrant and Miss Lamont entered the
church, followed still by Barrett, while
Miss Williams waited outside. Bar
rett says he hid behind a pew. De-
tectingan odorof escaping gas Durrant
went to the belfry to stop the leak.
Barrett says he then seized and at
tempted to assault Miss Lamont. To
stife her cries choked her and she
dropped to the floor. To silence Miss
Williams, Barrett says, he stabbed her
with a knife from the restaurant.
Meantime Durant had been overcome
by gas and was so dazed that he did
not see Barrett carrying the bodies to
the belfry. Barrett said he did not
wish Durrant to be hanged for his
crime, and that he was sure he would
eventually be found out Barrett re-
sembles Durrant in personal appear
ance. He worked here as a waiter, but
is periodically dissipated. He persists
in his statements, despite a severe
cross ss-eXamination.
BOUQETS FOR DURRANT.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.-The trial
Of Durrant for the murder of Blanche
Lamont will be resumed tomorrow.
The district attorney will then present
af1idavits stating that Durrant can
have a fair trial here, and it expected
the motion for change of venue will
be denied. The county Jail is besieged
by women daily, anxious to see Dur
rant and to leave flowers for him.
In both cases they are disappointed.
The jailers say Durrant enjoys his no
toriety.

CHE1 ENNE, Wyo., July A,-Gov.
richards received a telegram this
evening from the assistant secretary
OF the interior notifying him that Brig
Gen. Coppinger had been ordered To
proceed at once to the scene of the
indian troubles and to order such
movement of troops as may be neces-
sary to prevent a conflict between the
INDIANS and settlers. Later the gov
ernor was advised by Gen. Coppinger
that four troops of cavalry had been
ordered from Fort Robinson, Neb. TO
proceed to the Jackson Hole county to
protect the settlers. AS it will require
at least three days to reach Jackson
Hole with these troops a battle he.
tween whites and Indians may be
fought before they can be of service.
There are in the Jackson Hole settle
ment siXty-five men capable of bear
ing arms, thirty-five women and forty
children. All of these are gathered at
the settlement of Mary's Vale, situ-
ated between Gros Ventre and Little
Gros Ventre rivers. 1t Is possible re-
endorsements from settlements east
on the headwaters of the Big Wind
river and from the Mormons to the
South have reached them in response
to couriers sent out during the past
week asking for aid 1t is estimated
by the state authorities that no less
than 200 Indians are surrounding the
settlement. If the whites have sufi-
cient ammunition 1t is confidently ex-
pected they can stand off the Indians
until troops come to their aid.
