cAMPos, PLANS.
Spanish Commander Outlines His Policy
In Cuba.


in Cuba.
Madrid, Oct. 2s.-A dispatch to the
Impartial from Havana says that in an
interview Capt. Gen. Campos said he
was determined to thoroughly try n
policy of leniency towards the insur-
gents. According to the dispatch Mar
shall Campos declared that if change
in this policy was found necessary
100000 more troops would be required
to quell the insurrection, and even then
$4,000 men would perish. He men
toned the plan, already outlined in
these dispatches, to assume the often
sive next month in the province of
Santa Clara, he then personally leading
a force of $4,000 men and moving for
ward in an extensive line across tho
whole island, thus driving the rebels
into the mountains and forests of the
provinces of Puerto Principe and San
tiago de Cuba before the middle of
March.
The rebellion will thus be isolated in
the eastern part of the island, where
Campos thinks the resistance to the gov
ernment is likely to be prolonged. The
plan includes the alternative scheme of
dividing the island into zones, each of
which will be allotted to a differe 1t com
mander, whose duty it will he to con-
stantly patrol his zone, driving the in
surgents from point to point, and also
the making of attacks concurrently on
several places. Should this latter plan
be adopted, Marshal Campos hopes TO
ho, al
in two months.
He observed that Spain was ready to
| send even more troops than he had
asked for, but the speediest dispatch of
the reinforcements was imperative. He
declared that the sanitary department
was eXcellently organized and that
there were plenty of hospitals. True,
he added, all the doctors were not ac-
Quainted with yellow fever, but they
confronted their duties with the great
est heroism. Thirteen of the doctors
had died since the outbreak of the re-
bcllion.
Continuing, the captain general said
he believed that the United States
would eventually recognize the insur-
gents as belligerents, but he did not
fear the result of such recognition. Ii
would clear the air and the Spanish fleet
would be able to seize filibusters any
where, because q foreign flag could not
cover contraband of war. If the United
States is determined to secure the inde-
pendence of Cuba and sent an army to
the island the present obscure opera
tions would be replaced by n real war,
the success of which would depend on
pitched battles. In that case, if the
chance of war did not favor Spain, the
island would, at least, be honorably lost

WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER.
Continuation of the Armenian Riots-Nin,
Hundred Slain In Trebizond.


Constantinople, Oct. 2S.-Details have
been received from Turkish source of
the recent rioting at Erzingen, in
Asiatic Turkey. 1t is said that the
trouble had its origin in the killing of n
Mussulman priest by an Armenian.
The murder bitterly incensed the Mo-
hammedans against the Armenians and
an attack was made by the former upon
| the latter. The Armenians defended
themselves, and in the fight that fol-
| lowed SO Armenians and 10 Moham-
medans were killed.
The governor of Bitlis, Asiatic Tur-
key, has telegraphed to the porte that
body of armed Armenians attacked
the mosques in that city on Friday last
the Mohammedan Sabbath-while the
Mohammedans were at prayers. The
latter, being unarmed, had to defend
their lives with sticks and stones. The
officials were speedily informed of the
outbreak and at once sent police, gen.
darmes and soldiers to all quarters of
the town to restore peace. Some of
the Armenians afterward barricaded
themselves in khans and continued to
use their firearms. A number of per-
sons on both sides were killed or
wounded.
London, Oct. 2S.-The Daily News
publishes letters from Trebizond, Turk
ish Armenia, stating that the number
of victims in the recent rioting are es-
timatcd at roo in the town and 200 in
the surrounding villages. Many Ar
menian women have vanished and there
is scarcely doubt that they have been
either murdered or kidnapped. Most of
the houses occupied by Armenians were
burned. There is great distress among
the purveyors, who in large numbers
are living in sheds or in the woods. Tel
egrams from Marash report that the
situation there is serious and that the
English and American missionaries are
| in peril

PREPARATIONS are going on at the
quarries at Long Cove, Knox county,
Me-, for what will be the largest blast
ever fred in the state. A tunnel fifty
six feet long, three feet wide and four
and one-half high, has been drilled
into the solid granite, and from it
branch out two smaller tunnels, and it
is at the end of these two small tun-
nels that the charge of the mammoth
blast will be placed. The charge will
consist of about eight tons of powder,
and it is expected that it will break
out about 100, 900 tons of granite. The
work of drilling the tunnels has occu-
pied about ten months.

San Francisco, Oct. 2S.-Thc Exam
lner says that the contents of the mys-
terious letter which was to be opened

even they did not believe them, and re-
Trained from using them in Durrant's
defense.

ACCORDING to the report of Presi-
dent Wilson, of the New York board
of health, by reason of the introduce
tion of anti-toxine, the mortality in
that city from diphtheria has been re.
duced from 81 to 20 per cent, and the
same authority claims that the reduce
tion would have been much greater but
for the limited supply and use of the
new specific. The figures are sufficient
to encourage the belief that even diph-
iberia may be robbed of its terrors.

A Boston mechanical engineer is
said to have invented a bicycle tire
which can not be punctured by ordi-
nary means. The merit of the inven-
ton lies in a woven tube or jacket,
and, according to the accounts of re-
cent test, journey over road strewn
with tacks would not seriously injure
it. The tire is covered with light
coating of rubber, to give it surface
and make it waterproof.

During the session the crop damage reports came in count less numbers Every firm had advices of in fury from frost. The decreasing visible stocks were still a subject of discussion and taken with the good milling demand that undoubtedly exists furnished all the bull argument necessary. The trade was ing in thick and fast. The weather predic- tions were for rain throughout the winter wheat belt, but the immediate considera- tion of the i'll effects, dwarfed the impor- tance of moisture. July wheat opened from 65 to 64Ac, advanced to 66lsc, and closed at 66ssc 1ssc higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was strong and lc per bushel higher

Injury to corn by frosts is gener- ally conceded. The receipts, which should be large at this time are no more than mod crate. These two facts, with the tendency of wheat to seek higher level, gave force to the bull sentiment in corn. July corn opened from 507s to 5OAc advanced to 511s@ 51ssc, closing at the outside, S4M3sc higher than yesterday. Cash corn was 1 per cent per bushel higher.

The market was also strength- ened in measure by the government weekly report which stated the growth of the plant had been retarded in number of states by unfavorable weather. Still another helpful factor was the liberal buying by the continent, which took the distant months, and the local buying for both sides of the account was also feat ure But later on too many traders wanted to sell all at once, and there were too few buyers. Many who had bought on the cold weather sold when the signal service pre- dicted warmer weather in a large portion of the cotton belt during the next twenty four hours.
