L1sHndatio3s.
HAVANA, CUBA, Oct. Further details
have been received of the loss of life and
damage by the heavy rains on September
30. Several localities in the Vuelto Abaio,
the great tobacco-growing district, were
inundated. 1t is known that fifty-six per-
sons were drowned, and it is feared that
the number may be increased when the
remote hamlets are heard from. The rail
roads in the district are heavy losers from
the floods. Several bridges were carried
away, and the tracks in many places were
washed out. Many houses were destroyed,
and large fields of tobacco were completely
ruined by the torrents of water that poured
over them.
There is much suffering in the district.
The Government has decided to extend aid
to the victims of the flood, and has set
aside $4,000 for this purpose. In addition
to this one days civil or military pay will
be allowed to each of the sufferers. Pri-
vate charity is also active, and to-day sew
eraI prominent men subscribed $10,310 for
relief purposes.
Reports from the scene of the wreck of
the steamer Cristobal Colon are still very
meager. Acting Admiral Gomez Y. MAJ
has gone to the scene on the gunboat Con-
tram@stro to ascertain whether the strand
ed warship can be got afoat.

DROP IN FREIGHT RATES,
Cut of the AtchiSon Promptly
Met by the Other
Roads.
Denver Shippers Made No Con-
tracts and Awaited Further
Developments.

DENVER, Colo, Oct. denver ship
pers made no contracts to-day with the
railroads. The great drop in rates an
nounced by the Atchison scared them and
they did not know what to look for. The
Atchison's rate of % cents from Missouri
River points and so cents from Chicago
was promptly met by the other lines, and
in some instances the Chicago rate was
quoted as low as 35 cents. Tonight the
situation is complete decentralization,
and though an open tariff rate is an
nounced for to-morrow's business it is pre-
dicted that most any rate will go.
The immediate result of this drop in the
freight rates will be to cause westward
movement of apples and other fruits, flour,
preserved and canned goods.
The Colorado merchants cannot take
advantage of these demoralized rates as in
former years, as the condition of trade in
the West will not warrant them in storing
goods for the future. Credits will not be
strained in order to take advantage of the
low rates.
The railroads will lose on legitimate
business, which is certain to come anyway
by this fight. The Atchison shows no in
dication here of weakening, but as it is
compelled to publish its tariff its compet-
itors can underbid its cut rates, as was
done here to-day. Railroad men predict
that this freight war will be OF long dura-
ton. The trunk lines are ignoring the
long and short haul clause of the inter
state commerce act and these rates apply
only TO terminals on the river and at
Chicago and ST. Louis.

HAVANA, CUBA, Oct. 2, via Key West,
Fla, Oct. THE Spanish cabIegrams pub
lished here indicate the anxiety in the
mother country. Senor Maura, ex-Min-
lister of the Colonies, has delivered his
promised speech on the Cuban question, in
which he declared that his plan of
reform embodied in the measure intro
duced by him, offering a measure of home
rule, had not provoked the present out
break in Cuba. He said that Cuba, to
solve the race question, must remain a
Spanish colony. He warmly praised
Captain-General Martinez de Campos,
but the Spanish 'tconstituti onals" he de-
nounced as calumniators.
In the name of the Minister for the Colo
nies, Senor Castellanos, there has been
issued decree, under which rigorous
application of the law will be made to all
municipal Judges in Cuba who show SYM
pathy for the rebels.
In official circles in Madrid it is re-
ported that the relations between Spain
and the United States are friendly and
cordial, Notwithstanding rumors to the
contrary published in Paris and London.
1t has also been stated in Madrid that the
Government at Washington will not recog-
nize the rebels as belligerents, nor will it
interfere in the Cuban question unless the
war is prolonged. In Madrid, the alarmist
rumors of the French and English press
are attributed to spectators.
A dispatch says that Colonel Tejeda,
while trying to repair the telegraph wires,
met the rebels, killed many and dispersed
them. General Valdez reports that the
Government troops routed band of rebels
at Palana.
CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 7. - At the weekly
meeting of the Congregational ministers
of Chicago to-day resolutions demanding
the freedom of Cuba were passed. The
report was adopted without discussion,
and was as follows:
"Sympathizing with men of whatever
cline or race in their struggles for personal
liberty and self-government,t the members
of the Congregational ministers meeting
of Chicago and vicinity extend to the
valiant heroes of Cuba the assurance OF
profound respect for the noble efforts to
free themselves from the oppression
and cruelty of Spain, and express the
hope that they will be successful in their
contest for freedom. We would also re-
spectfully request the authorities at Wash
ington to recognize the Cuban patriots as
belligerents just as soon as the way opens
for this to be DONE"

ATTACK Of KAFF|R FEVER
Speculation of a New Kind
to Be Launched in
Chicago.
Experiences of the London Market
May Be Repeated in the United
States.

CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 7.-Chicago is hay
ing an attack eff ''Kafflr fever" the disease
that is now playing havoc with London
tinanciers, and which closely resembles the
famous "South Sea bubble" J. F. Web
ner promoter, is now in Chicago on a
prospecting tour, not looking for new gold
mines, but for money to develop those in
South Africa.
Before December ''Kaffir" stocks in all
probability will be listed in Chicago, and
the South African-American Investment
and Mining Company, with offices in
Johannesburg, London, Chicago and New
York, will be engaged in an effort to float
its stock in America. For two weeks it
has been whispered among bankers and
brokers that such an attempt on the part
of the South African magnates was in
evitable, and that Chicago would be down
with the "Kaffir fever" just as London now
is before the winter was over.
The establishment of the South African
American Investment and Mining Com
pany is certain. Whether its operations
will be begun simultaneously at New York
and Chicago is a question which the next
two days will settle. The gossip, which
has been only gossip for two weeks, began
to take definite form Saturday. The story
came from the office of certain bankers

just as they did London. In two years
Katfirs issued at Ell have risen in value TO
f9, and investments of the different Euro
pean nations and England amount to
nearly s., ,O00, 100000.
The rage for ''Kaffirs" in London is lust
now particularly significant, owing to the
project OF the South African magnates to
carry their operations into the United
States and make Chicago one OF the points
at which the battle will be centered. If
investors in Chicago and New York go in
for "Kaffirs" with the same zest with
which they take up other propositions
which they conceive to be good thing it
is not improbable that the feverish condi-
tions now existing in London will be
shown here. Whether disaster follows de-
pends entirely on the outcome of the un-
certain situation in London, which as late
as Saturday was panicky and showed signs
of q smash

CANAL WORKERS RAGE
Like a Pack of Maddened
Wolves They Fall Upon
Their Victims.
SIXTEEN AssAILANTs ARRESTED
An Old Dispute Over the Rates for
Loading Lumber Led Up to the
Double Murder.

NORTH TONAWANDA, N. Y, Oct. T.
The troubles among the canal-boat men
| eliminated to-day in double murder
Fourteen men are now in Jail charged with
completely in the crime, and officers are
out hunting for more.
The affair grew out of a dispute as to the
rates for loading lumber at the Scribners'
docks. The canal men, almost without
exception, refused to accept the rates Of
fered by the lumber companies. Captain
Phillips of the canal boat Jenny Graft
would not stand in with the other men,
however. and agreed to load the lumber at
the reduced rate. His action made the
other men very angry, and they have been
loud in their threats as to what they
would do.
Early this morning when the Jenny
Graft was at the docks crowd of boatmen
went down there with the intention of
carrying out their threats, and made an
attack on Captain Phillips and his son,
who helped him on the boat. The younger
Phillips was knocked down with club,
and was horribly beaten. About the same
time some one fired a shot and Captain
Phillips fell dead on the deck of his boat
The crowd, satisfied with its work. then
departed. When young Phillips recov-
cred consciousness he managed to crawl
into the cabin and lay there until
o'clock, when he died.
AS soon as news of the murder was re-
ceived officers were sent to the neighbor-
hood and soon returned with fourteen men
who, it is said, are known to have formed
part of the crowd. Several others, whose
names are known, will be arrested as soon
as they can be found.
The murder appears to have been the
direct outcome of the newly formed canal
| association which was credited some time
| ago as a New York Central movement
The evidence here shows that Scribner
had gotten Captain Phillips 10 bring his
boats here for a load, the boats to be
loaded as soon as they arrived. This is
contrary to the associations rules. as the
association wishes to dictate to the for
warders when and how boats shall be
loaded.
When the Tonawanda boatmen found
that Captain Phillips would load when he
saw fit little army of desperate men col
lected at the dock and waited for the boat
to come in. She arrived and tied up only
to be boarded by the crowd. Officers were
on the spot and attempted to keep the
crowd back, but their efforts were fruitless
for the men were like pack of maddened
| wolves.
So far sixteen men have been arrested
and the authorities are examining wit
nesses and taking atfidavits looking to the
| arrest of others.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Oct. About
$40 o'clock this afternoon a terrible ex-

place in community and go unpunished,
the fact incites other localities TO do the
same thing, and thus human passions and
not law are made to rule. l have known
of number of instances where men were
threatened with lynchlng for the murder

up alive. If 1 remember right, up in

with lynching for the supposed murder of
his wife, who subsequently turned out to
be alive.
'The men who participate in lynchings

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. Judge
Sandusky ofClay County, attorney for the
heirs of DR.. Fraker in the suit of the

Federal court to-day. The answer to the
companies suit will not be filed until the
Federal court opens on the first Monday

Judge Sandusky would not say how far
the. heirs would carry the contest, but he
intimated that if the insurance companies
would allow ex-Judge Lincoln, the execu-
tor, compensation for all expenditures on
the part of the heirs the suit would be
amicably settled. He said the heirs were
now waiting for some proposition of this
sort from the insurance companies. He
further said that if the defendants were
inclined to fight the case the compromise
money could not be recovered.
