CONSTANTINOPLE. TURKEY, Oct. o.
Reports have reached here that the Mus
sulmans at Ismid, a town in Asia Minor,
fifty-fve miles southeast of this city, are
continuing their attacks upon Christians.
1t is charged that Turkish soldier at
that place made an assault upon young
Armenian girl and threatened her with
death. This charge is denied by the au-
thorities at Ismid, but troops have never
theless been hastily dispatched to the
scene. The public prosecutor at Ismid has
started for Akhissar to begin an inquiry
into the recent massacres there.
According to advices from Adana and
Aleppo revolution propaganda of serious
proportions is in operation in these Sec
tions. Agents of the propaganda are en-
rolling young Armenians under their
standard, and arms, ammunition and dyn-
amite are reported to have been secretly
imported into that vicinity.

FIVE HUNDRED PERISHED,
DETAILS OF THE Loss OF THE
TRANSPORT SHIP KUNG
Pal.
Two MAGAZINES EXPLODED, AND
ALL EFFORTS FAILED TO PUT
OUT THE FLAMES.

SHANGHAI, CHINA, Oct. 22.-DetaiIs
OF the loss of the transport ship Kung Pal
and the drowning of hundreds of those on
board have just been received here.
On October Il, when the steamer was
about twenty miles from Kinchow, an ex-
plosion occurred in the powder magazine,
setting fire to the ship. The crew worked
with all the energy it possessed in its
endeavors to extinguish the flames, but
without success
Half an hour after the magazine ex-
ploded there was a second explosion in the
boiler-room, which shattered the boilers
OF the ship to atoms. The captain ard the
trst officer were wounded in the second
explosion, and were laid in a boat and
taken ashore.
Before the boat could be lowered the
soldiers on the ship made a rush for it,
and so many of them crowded in that the
davits gave way and all in it were
drowned. There were 700 persons on
board, comprising the officers, crew and
soldiers, and 500 of them perished. The
survivors clung to the stern of the ship for
seventeen hours in heavy sea before
boats reached them from the shore, which
finally landed them

PARIS, FRANCE, Oct. 22.-The funeral
of John w. Mackay Jr., which took place
to-day in the Roman Catholic church of
st. Ferdinand des Ternes, in many re-
spects resembled the obsequies of great
public parsonage. The entire front of the
Mackay mansion, 8 Rue Tilsit, was COW

front of the house were lighted and COW
cred with Grape and street traffic was en-
tirely suspended in the avenues in the vi
cinity of the Arch de Triomphe.
The coffin was covered with white pail,
and cross bearing the inscription, "Sa
Mere Desolee," lay upon its top. The

six white horses. Following Immediately

MANY CITIZENS INVOLVED.
Many Newfoundland Smuggling Cases Are
to Be Disposed OF Privately to Avoid
Further Scandals.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Oct. 22.-The arrest
of smugglers has been suspended for the
present. 1t is believed that the Board of
Revenue has exerted sufficient pressure to
prevent the cases being forced through the
courts and will dispose of them privately
to avoid scandal, as so many influential
citizens are involved. The revenue cruiser
Fiona started this morning for Placentia
Bay, to make another roundup among the
suspected smugglers there. tits learned
that thousands of dollars worth of spirits
and tobacco have been imported from st.
Pierre in lobster cases without paving
duty. One of the smugglers named Col
Inns, who was arrested in the early days of
the crusade, was before the court to-day.
Counsel for the defense showed the exist
ence of serious defects in the law, which
it is expected, Will invalidate the arrest
and cause the collapse of the case, in which
event the whole series of proposed prose
cutions is likely to be abandoned.

INSURGENTS NEARING A FINAL VICTORY

yellow fever is breaking out again among
the troops.
A dispatch to the Cuban Patriotic League
in this city says:
''The people in the cities and towns near
the rebellion are in state of starvation,
for which there are two causes. One is the
impossibility of the farmers to take any of
their products to the markets, and the
other that the Spanish merchants charge
such high prices that the poor cannot buy.
Campos knows that it is impossible to
stop the progress of the insurgents by
force and is now trying to buy off the
leaders. The Spanish troops have not
been paid for three months, and are steal
ing anything they can lay their hands on
The spies, who have not been paid either,
are committing terrible depredations and
plunjering and numbering everywhere"

says that it is reported that the rebels
made an attack on Santiago de Cuba at
sunset, but were repulsed. They succeeded

THE NEXT ENTERPRISE.

[From 'fThe CALI of February Ia, 1898. ]
In order that San Francisco may have
her rightful prestige in the Union she
should take her place among what we may
call National convention cities-that is,
she should be one of those centers in which
the great political forces of the country
are periodically gathered up to shape the
platforms of parties and nominate candi-
dates for the Presidency.
There are some disadvantages in the To-
cation of the City on the extreme western
edge of the continent, which would at first
thought seem to render San Francisco un-
fitted for the assembling of such conven-
tions. These disadvantages, however, are
more than counterbalanced by the ad-
vantages. The climate in the summer
months is an important factor in the COM
fort of crowded assemblies and on tha
score San Francisco is so far superior
any other large city in the Union that
comparison is out of the question. In
the matter of hotel accommodation also
this City is equal to the foremost. Ger
taiply no city in the world has better
hotel than the Palace, which is famed all
round the globe, not only for its size and
magnifcence, but also for its appoint
ments and management; AMI that hotel
does not stand alone, but is only chief
among many hardly inferior to it. We
have also Pavilion ranking among the
best buildings of the kind, capable of easily
accommodating the largest convention
