taken from the car Is not known, but
it is estimated by the express officials

INSURGENTS MEAN BUSINESS,
Prepared to Ruin the Whole
Country to Defeat the
Enemy.

LONDON, July 25.-The Times Ha-
vana correspondent telegraphs as fol-
lows: Since the news of the death of
General Santocildes on July II, the au-
thorities have had no news of Captain
General Martinez de Campos, despite
repeated inquiries to Santa de Cuba
and other points. Great fear that a
general uprising has taken place in the
province OF Matanzas, which has been
in restless condition. The defeat Of
the Spanish troops, when Santocildes
was killed, has given an impetus to the
revolution, especially in the province
of Santiago de Cuba, where the iron
miners have joined the rebels.
Ihave seen letter from General
Maxine Gomez explaining his reasons
for the proclamation forbidding work
Oh the plantations for the supply Of
provisions to the town. u He says that
while Spain obtains sufficient revenue
from Cuba to pay her soldiers the Off
cials will continue to rule. When the
revenue ceases they will retire This
practically means that the insurgents
are prepared to ruin the whole country
in order to force Spain's hands.

SETTLERS ARMING
Whites at Jackson Hole Pre-
pairing to Go on a Hunt
For Indians.
THE FEDS READY TO FIGHT.
Latest Reports Say They Are
MaSSing in Large
Numbers.

DENVER, July pa special to The
News from Market Lake, Ida, says
Captain Teeters, Indian agent at Fort
Hall Gda. Indian reservation, came in
during the day from Jackson Hole
country and reports everything quiet
and few if any Indians in the country.
Captain Teeters, however, was fol
lowed by courier from the settlers
With dispatch to Governor Richards
which tells another story. The courier,
Fred White, reports that the Indians
have been joined by large number OF
Lempi and Ute Indians, and that they
have every pass in Jackson's Hole
guarded. Scouts from the settlers say
the Indians are massing in large num-
bers and will no doubt offer fight. A
prospector named Smith was ambushed
by Indians and was wounded in the
breast. He claimed to have
Cleaned Out tho Hand,
but scouts sent to confirm it say they
found evidences of only one Indian be-
ing wounded. The settlers have
brought their women and children to
Wilford and intend to go Indian hunt
ing and not wait for the redskins to at
tack them.
This trouble will not interfere with
travel to the Yellowstone Park, as by
the way Of Beaver canon there is no
danger of meeting the Indians. Many
sensational reports have been sent out,
but the only Indians slain were those
reported in these dispatches last week.
The Indians may yet be persuaded to
return to their reservation without any
more trouble.

Before o o'clock the water was rushing

and few minutes later the business
streets Of this city were filed with a
food from four to eight feet deep. A
footbridge, which had been constructed
SO that people in the lower part of town
could cross to place Of safety in case
of q food, was swept away and all
means of getting out of the flooded
district was cut off. The night was
intensely dark and for three hours the

down and many others injured, but,
strange as it may seem, not life was

the loss as high as 100000 but this is

CHEYENNE, Wy, July 25.-In con-

he believed the Indian police would be
able to arrest all Indians who are now
off their reservations, and that if they
experienced any difficulty the regulars
would be ordered to assist them.
This Indian trouble must be settled

less the Washington authorities take
decisive action soon, will make a
state matter out of it and order out the
state troops to arrest all of the rowing
Indians who are causing the trouble

A STRIKE FOR EFFECT.
Eumors That the Marquette Range Strik-
ers Have Good Backing.


MARQUETTE, Mich, July 25.-Anent
the strike now on, it is rumored, with
probably no possibility of proof, that
the mine owners are in sympathy with
and are abetting the strikers. Most o.
the contracts for the sale of ore were
made when prices were at lowest ebb;
the contracts contained clauses provid-
viding for their annullment if the ores
could not be mined and shipped be-
cause of strikes, and there is claimed to
ne reason to believe that the owners
are satisfied to have the men strike, to
either retain their ores or compel con-
sumers to raise the prices agreed upon
OF course, this is only rumor, but it is
a plausible story and will find many
believers, though it is scarcely likely 60
be entirely true. 1t is true, probably,
that the owners do not look with great
sorrow on cessation Of work, when 1t
will keep their ore in the ground till
higher price can be obtained.
