NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-The Herald

I'll, telegraphs that peace has been re- 4,
stored in Rio Grande do Sui. y mili-s
tary officer is now on his way FROM
Rio Grande do Sui to Rio de Janeiro.

peace terms which it has been agreed
shall be offered to Congress for APP

eminent of Uruguay for a copy of til
bill of health of the warship Barra-
couta which arrived in port from tho
Montevedio islands last January.

age the health officer received dOcu-
ments signed by the doctor on board
the warship, who had been named as
health officer of the island of Trinidad

IT IS SERIOUS.
Insurrectiou More Formidable Than
Imagined.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-The steamer
Seneca OF the Ward line, which ar
rived here from Cuba today, brought
several Cuban passengers. One gen
tleman from Havana, who would not
let his name be used, asserted that
the instruction is more formidable
than is generally believed. The reb-
els. he says, desire to establish gov
eminent for the protection of a strong
power, preferably the United States.
They are not anxious for absolute in
dependence because negroes form a
majority of the inhabitants of the is
land and would dominate the govern
ment. Therefore the rebels are de-
LAYING the capture of the important
seaport towns which, the gentleman
from Havana says. they could easily
DO. because their plans for the future
are not yet matured. To secure pos
session of cities would mean recog-
milton as belligerents TO the rebels,
and as they are not ready for such
recognition they will continue their
present methods of making war for a
time. The Havana man asserts that
there are eight thousand sympathiZ-
ers with the revolution in Havana;
chat 10000 revolutionists are in the
field and that the Spanish have lost
$4,000 men, more than two-thirds of
the number dying from disease. Cam
pos, he says, cannot hold out long.

the witnesses on the stand Counsel Petit
will endeavor to secure evidence in SUP
port of two allegations: First, that the
appointment of the receivers was the re-
suit of collision on the part OF the
president and other officers of the COM
pany who desired to perpetuats their
power. and second, that the receivers are
now acting in collision with the Adams
reorganization committee in ar attempt to
consolidate the road with the Great
Northern to the detriment OF the stock
holders. The latter allegation was de-
MED by Receiver Payne at Spokane,
Wash, when he said the receivers did not
favor Mr.. Adams plan. Senators Spooner
and Mitchell are spending their time
prepared to fight him to a finish in court.
John H. Mitchell, assistant counsel OF ST.
Paul, returned from Japan and will re-
main here to assist.

A CONvICT'S STORY.
FULL OF INHUMAN AND CRUEL
TREATMENT.
Sixty to Seventy-Five Li.i>s on the
Naked Back With a Three Pound
Strap Was No Unusual Punish
ment.

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 12.-Harvey Mer-
rift, recently pardoned out of the peniten-
tiary, has entered suit for heavy damages
against the penitentiary company. Mer-
rift recites a horrible story OF inhuman
and cruel treatment as the basis of his
action. He was IN for twelve years, but
was pardoned after serving Line years
because he was no longer useful to the
lessees. While working for the Chatta-
hoochie Brick company and in the coal
mines of the lessees in Walker county,
he alleges that he was at frequent times
beaten with inhurnan savageness. Sixty
to seventy ticks on naked body, he says.
with a three pound strap, was 10 unusual
punishment. At one time he was given
Us lashes, the blood squirting forth at
each blow. After this particular beating
he attempted to escape, was recaptured
and he recites the horrible details of the
beating he received. Six men held him
while Woodruff, the whipping boss, piled
the knot, which was split by the force of
the blows. One of his eyes was put out
by the terrible strap.

IN IMMINENT DANGER.
SeaIcrs i'm DerinG Sea May Rur
Afoul OF Revenue Cutters-SchOOn-
ers Also Liable to Seizure.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12.-The
schooner Uranus brings news that the
sealers have reached Behring sea
and are in imminent danger of seiz-
ure by the revenue cutters. This
means a great deal to the owners of
sealing vessels, and to those interested
in sealing ventures. The instructions
under which the cutters are boarding
the vessels this year are to seize all
sealskins. The schooners are liable to
seizure also for the international reg
ulations are so strict that vessels even
with guns for shooting seals on board
are not allowed in Behring sea. The
last news from the United States cut
ter Corwin, which was received by
those on the Uranus, was that she
was expected back by Unimak island
the middle of July. All these things
indicate that the next news received
from Behring sea is likely to be SEN
sational in its nature.

To Relieve the BaItimorc

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The OIym-
pia will leave San Francisco about the
middle of this week, going by way of
Honolulu to the Asiatic squadron to
relieve the Baltimore as flagship of
the station. 1t is stated at the navy
department that she has been given
no orders to make rapid trip across
the Pacific. or even part of the way.
1t is probable that the report origi-
mated in the talk of officers who as
sert that the Olympia is as fast as the
Columbia. At the department, it is
said, the Olympia is to remain in the
Asiatic squadron three years, and the
department would not risk injury to
her by sending her at full speed across
the Pacific.
