the Indian receives. The meeting this even

command Of Colonel Callazo and will start
from a small island in the West Indies which
is owned by an EnglLshman. The latter is in
sympathy with the Cuban cause. The land

Cienfugos is Spanish stronghold. There are

Spaniards are the owners of all large planta-

Campos. The insurgents decided to cripple
them by blowing up their sugar crushing
machinery, which is very costly, with dyna-
mite, and this they did. The destruction by
means Of dynamite Of the two small forts in
Santiago de Cuba as well as the railroads in
that province, is reported by the insurgents.

SHOT BY A BRUTAL sHERIFE
Revised Version OF Cowardiy Affair In an
Oklahoma County.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Addltional re-
ports received at the Indian bureau on the
trouble growing out Of the shooting Of Cosah
Red Lodge at Arapahoe, Okl., duplicates
Little Man, son-in-law Of Soft Belly, of the
Cheyenne and Arapahoes as the party who re-
Gently outraged an octogenarian woman
there, which was the primary cause Of the
trouble. There were six witnesses ready to
testify for the prosecution, and the only one
who corresponds with the description given
is Little Man. He at Arapahoe when
the crime was committed and evidence it Is
asserted, points strongly to his guilt. The
condition of Cosah Red Lodge who was shot
by the sheriff while under suspicion, is i'm
proving.
A report from School Superintendent Zeger
who was sent to Arapahoe, says: The In
dians are quiet, considering the inhuman and
uncalled for treatment from the sheriff. They
believe Red Lodge is innocent and Little
Man guilty. There is a strong resemblance
between the two.
Red Lodges version Of the shooting is
substantially this: He was in charge of the
sheriff who told him to get on the buggy
with him. He did so, but neither could under
stand the others language. From signs OF
the sheriff he understood he was being taken
out to be thrown into a we'll on the out
skirts of the town, where he saw a crowd
gathered. He preferred to be shot and got
out Of the buggy, faced the sheriff and made
signs for him to shoot. Walking backward a
short distance to see If he would not he kept
his face toward the sheriff to receive the
shot in his head, and when he turned anu
ran away slowly the sheriff began shooting,
one shot grazing his thigh. Another man
whom Red Lodge thought was going TO
shoot shot at him several times. The Indian
ran toward him, but the crowd came up,
struck him with a knife and fists kicked,
cursed and abused him and left him uncon-
scous on the prairie. The sentiment is
strong against the sheriff who is charged
with laying himself open to prosecution by
overstepplng his authority.
Captain Mckay, commanding the troops at
Arapahoe, reports that on notice of the shoot
ing every available man was brought there
and a probable rupture of friendly relations
thereby avoided. Indian officials here do
not anticipate further trouble

SPANISH SOLDIERS MAssACKED.
Cuban Insurgents Overpower Detachment
of Rec cuiar Troops

BOSTON, June 24.-The steamer Breidabe-
leck, which has just arrived from Sama
Cuba, confirms the story of the massacre Of
Spanish soldiers at Sama. Several of the
Spaniards were killed and quartered and
nailed to trees near the beach and Others
were taken prisoners.
Since the massacre large Spanish army,
with headquarters at Gibrara, some iftee?
miles distant, is engaged in fighting the rebe.s
in the vicinity of Barclay, about ten miles
inland from Sama. A regiment Of soldiers
is stationed at Sama at present and every
vessel that enters the harbor is now placed
under the care Of the Spanish soldiers.
Four of these soldiers occupied the deck
Of the Breidabeleck during her stay in tha.
port and watched every visitor who came
aboard the ship. The cargo also was watched
while 1t was being shipped and care was
taken that nobody came away on the vesse!

a member OF the international monetary con-
ference, which met at Brussels in 1892.
When seen today by representative Of the
Associated press, Mr.. McCreary stated that
his experience with the English members Of
that conference gives him assurance that the
advent Of the Salisbury ministry will be in
the interest OF bimetallism, as Lord Salisbury,
Baltour and other are more favorable than
Rosebery and his associates were for such a
conference. Mr.. McCreary said he was
more hopeful now than ever before for such
international action as would settle the ratio
between the metals He not only regards
Lord Salisbury as friendly to an interna-
tiOnal monetary agreement but also as a
very great statesman, who will be more
lib raj in his general policy than Rosebery.
There were active friends in England Of BIZ
metallism, and Lord Salisbury would recog-
niZe them. Mr.. McCreary referred to Sir
William Houldsworth, Balfour Chaplin and
others who were friendly to bimetaism and
who were close to Salisbury While England
had maintained a gold standard since 1916
Mr. McCreary had no doubt that bimetalism
had many friends among the manufacturers
agriculturists and business men in England
and that this sentiment was growing. so
that the ministry would be sustained in sup
porting an international agreement.
PROBLEM MIGHT BE SOLVED
Mr.. McCreary thought such an agreement
might be secured without the participation Of
England but when an international monetary
conference assembled in Europe 1t would be
very encouraging to have the support of the
leading statesmen in the English ministry.
The House of Commons has already adopted
resolution that is regarded as favorable for
an international conference Germany,
France and the United States have taken
action for such conference, and If England
will cooperate the metallic problem can be
solved.
Mr.. McCreary regarded Salisbury as better
equipped in every way than Rosebery for a
more liberal and more enlightened policy,
which would extend to Nicaragua, Venezuela
and other American countries in which the
United States is interested. He thought
England was paying very little attention to
Hawaii, and that the United States was pay
ing entirely too much attention to these lit e
islands. Mr. McCreary said he was not only
opposed to the annexation of Hawaii, but
also to any subsidy for a cable from San
Francisco to Honolulu. There were fourteen
submarine telegraphic lines in operation, and
all had been built by private capital. II any
more enterprises were needed the capital
could be found for them.

STRANGE DISEASE AMONG sEAMEN
Naval Surgeons PurIled Over an Imported
Illness In the Navy,


NEW YORK June 24.-The surgeons at
the naval hospital in Brooklyn are puzzled
by peculiar malady prevalent among the
sailors who arrived on the Chicago during
her last cruise. There are at the present
time, according to the statement Of Surgeon
in Chief d. T. Edwards Bogart. about twenty
OF the Chcago's crew laid up in the naval
hospital and half a dozen or more are at the
Norfolk hospital, where they were taken
from the Amphitrte. to which many OF the
crew were transferred when the vessel went
out Of commission. Although some Of the
men in Brooklyn have been under treatment
for six or seven weeks their condition has
been but little changed. The same high
temperature and rheumatic pains in the
Joints, which characterized the disease when
first contracted, are still experienced by the
victims and little progress seems to have
been made in successfully contending with
the illness.
DR.. Bogart said the disease from which
the sailors are suffering Is well known In
the countries bordering on the Mediterranean
sea, and that there is no mystery about II.
He admitted however, that they had not as
yet made satisfactory diagnosis of the dis
ease and the patients did not seem to i'm
prove perceptbly.
The sailors take different view of the
case. They say the doctors are puzzled, and
that they have no name for the malady nor
any satisfactory treatment The certificates
which are sent with each patient to the
hospital are supposed to state the name Of
the disease with which he is suffering. In
the case of the Chcago's men the disease is
put down under various names. The certih-
Gates of some named II typhoid fever, but
the treatment in these cases was not that
which is used in typhoid fever cases. One
of the most dangerous features of the
Chicago fever" as it is termed at the navy
hospital, is an excessively high temperature.
One sailor said that his temperature had
run up to 104 degrees and that the tempera-
ture of the man on the adjoining cot had
reached 100. The sunstroke treatment Is
used in lowering the temperatnre.

SUGAR PLANTERS IN HARD LINES
Cuban Planters Many of Them Unable to
Raise Another Crop.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Consul Baker, at
Saguala Grande, Cuba, under date of June
IL, reports to the State department upon the
sugar crop. He says:
The sugar Of 1S94-5 having been marketed,
leaves no doubt Of a material decrease from
the yield of previous years. This, together
with the very low price realized by the
planters, for the advance came too late to
benefit the producer, leaves the sugar grow
ers of Cuba in a most helpless condition.
They now frankly admit that hey will not be
able to secure loans with which to make
the coming crop, which means that not ex-
ceeding one-half the usual acreage of new
cano has been planted, and a corresponding
neglect in the cleaning of the present crop.
In truth the condition of the planters of this
island is distressing, and the end is not yet,
for when it is recalled that fully one-third
Of the inhabitants depend upon the panta-
tons for employment and living, and that
the owners thereof cannot obtain money
enough to engage the labor, actual suffering
must ensue.
