NOTHING BUT RUM0Rs AS YET
No Actual Developments Reported in
Great Nrrthern Trouble.

Great Nrrthern Trouble.
ST. PAUL.. Nov. 5.-The threatened
trouble on the Great Northern road has
developed no new phase locally, SO far
as could be learned. There were a num-
Der Of rumors around, but inquiry
failed to verify any of them. 1t was
said that some of the men We're about
to quit work on some divisions of the
r1ad. Certain persons interested in the
matter but not affiliated with the
American Railway union, said it was
highly improbable that anything of
that kind would occur for few days
at least, if at all SO far as the rail
road people are concerned, they are not
believed to be apprehensive of any
serious trouble, claiming that the great
majority Of employees have no griev-
ances and are not in sympathy with the
men who came to st. Paul last week.
Secretary Keliher Talks.
Sylvester Keliher, general secretary
of the American Railway union, was
seen and said:
II have sent kilograms to all the
lodges along the line of the Great North
ern road, asking for an immediate reply
as soon as action is taken in regard to
the Great Northern situation. AS rail-
road men are not always in position to
attend meeting at a moments notice,
may not get answers for a day or two
yet Meetings will be held all along
the line and all the men will have to be
given chance to vote. Those who are
out on their runs will have to cast their
votes on their return. OF course, am
unprepared to say what action the men
will take, as the whole matter is decided
by vote. Under no circumstances will

Awful Story Sent Out From Mex.
leo OF the Work of a Local
Judge.
Jail in Which Ten Persons Were
Confined Burned Upon His
Orders.
He Said He Obeyed the Divine
Commando The Fanatics
Arrested.

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-A special to
The World from Pachuca, Mexico,
says: News comes from Texacapa, .
small town inhabited by Indians and
Mestizos (half- f-breeds), that 10 persons
were burned there as heretics by order
of the auxiliary town judge. He claims
he was acting according to the will of
God, manifested to him in all extraordi-,
nary vision, accompanied by certain indi-
cations of divine wrath against heretics
and people leading immoral lives. The
dispatch adds: As soon as the news
reached Mollango, the principal town in
the district, the municipal president
and minor officials, with a escort Of
over 60 men armed with rifles, went to
Texacapa, where they found everybody
in the public square,
Executing Grotesque Dances
in honor of the virgin of Guadalupe,
around the ruins of the jail, small
building solidly constructed, close to
the parish church. In this Jail previous
to Saturday had been confined Nicolas
Hernandez, Martin Santiago, Jose
Manuel Casper Hernandez, Juan
Tomas, Juan Tomas, Jr., Maria Juana,
Maria Magdalena, Maria Conception
and an infant child. They had been
rudely hustled from their homes at
dead of night on the extraordinary
charge preferred by the auxiliary town
judge that their lives We're an evil in
the sight of God, and that they We're
enemies of the faith and heretics whom
God had ordered through His holy saint
to be consumed by fire. The auxiliary
judge related this with the utmost
sangfroid to the authorities. He added
that God had wrought astonishing
miracles to confirm what the saint had
told him in the vision.
Obeyed the Divine Command,
Said the Judge: 81 obeyed the Di
vine command and ordered out my con.
stables and we took these sinners from
their beds and dragged them in the
darkness of night, weeping and wailing,
to the Jail. When they were locked
securely in l ordered the constables tc
set the building on fire."
Twenty-one arrests were made al
| though the fanatical mob threatened
death to the authorities. The prisoners
securely bound around the arms and
chained together, were marched tC
Mollango. where a judicial investiga
ton will take place.

Insnrgent Leaders Preparing to Risk .
Pitched Battle.
HAVANA, Dec. IL. - According to
trustworthy information received here,
the insurgents have been making rapid
progress through the province of Santa
Clara since the defeat Of Colonels
Eugara and Eugerrio. The forces COM
manded by Gomez, Maceo, Reloff,
Sanchez, Carrillio, Guerra, Diaz and
other insurgent leaders, have united
and are now encamped at Vajaca, about
Is miles from Placetas, an important
town on the road to Santa Clara, and a
point Of great strategic value in its
relation to the seaport Of Caiberten.
From the fact that so many of the in
surgent leaders have concentrated their
forces, it is believed that Gomez and
Maceo have determined to risk .
pitched battle with the Spanish troops.

HE MIGHT RESIGN
London Newspapers Comment on
the Movement to Impeach
Mr.. Bayard.
Generally Conceded That His
Utterances Were Not Just
Proper.
Bayard Refuses to Say Anything
Further Than That He Will
Not Resign.

LONDON, Dec 12.-The United States
embassy was besieged at an early hour
by newspaper reporters anxious to OBJ
tain the views of Abassador Bayard
upon the demand for his impeachment.
which was made in the house of repre-
sentatives at Washington by Congress
man William F. Barrett Of Massachu-
setts on the ground that he had insulted
the country to which he is accredited,
the people he represents, i'll speeches de-
livered at Boston, England, and at
Edinburgh, Scotland, on Aug. 2 and
Nov. 7. respectively. But all attempts
to induce Mr. Bayard or his staff to dis
cuss the matter failed, while the British
officials also declined to make any state
ments ON the subject.
What the London Papers Say.
The st. James Gazette thinks that
Mr.. Bayard "may resign after such an
attack"
If So" The Gazette adds, "his loss
will be regretted by ali who have come
in contact with such fine example Of
dignified, eloquent American states
man. But Mr.. Bayard's indiscretion
was so deliberate that we doubt if he
did not contemplate this result. After
all, we too, should resent it if our min
listers made similar statements"
The Westminster Gazette remarks:
up to the hour Of going to press Mr.
Bayard has not fed to Hatfield
Whether he seeks refuge in, the Tower
of London remains to be seen."
The Globe ridicules the impeachment
idea and adds: 1.-THE Republican ma
jority is not unreasonably annoyed that
Mr.. Bayard permitted himself the free
dom Of speech which is impossible to
the diplomatist of the old world"
He Doesn't Intend to Resign.
Although Mr.. Bayard refuses to be
interviewed regarding the action Of Mr..
Barrett, he has stated that he does not
intend to tender his resignation.
The Evening Standard, commenting
on the affair, says:
1.-The rottenness of party warfare in
the United States was never more
clearly displayed. Mr.. Bayard has
gained the good will Of all classes here.

HAVE DETERMINED. THE DAFT

Rcd Lake Reservation Will He Opened
to Settlement May Is.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Nell
son and Representatives Towne and
Eddy called upon Secretary Smith and,
after some discussion, it was decided
that the date of opening the agricul-
tural lands of the Red Lake reservation
should be set in the proclamation soon
to be issued at May Is. The members
are in full accord in the matter and the
secretary agreed to act upon their rec
ommendation. Congressman Towne
will probably introduce a bill for the
disposal of timber lands 1t will be sub
stantially the same as that proposed by
Major Baldwin at the last session, pro-
viding for the sale of the timber as fast
as 100, 600 acres are surveyed and esti-
mated. He will, in addition to the
Baldwin measure, provide for the objec-
ton raised to that bill by Senator Davis
by a proviso that no timber on sections
Ii and SO shall be sold pending the de-
termination Of the question of the
states rights to these sections as school
lands. There will probably be no OBJ
lection to the bill in this form and it
should result in placing large body Of
this timber on the market in the near
future.

Powers Finally Get Permission to Send

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Dec. 12.-The long
drawn out controversy between the
ambassadors Of the powers and the sui
tan over the question Of admission of
additional guardships for the protection
of the embassies was settled at $40 p.
m. by the issuance Of an trade granting
the necessary firmans to permit the
guardships to pass the Dardanelles. The
demand was first made on the sultan
On Nov. 10, and scarcely day has
passed since then without it's being re-
newed in a more. or less peremptory
manner. The ingenuity displayed by
Turkish government in
Evading Direct Answer
to the demand, or when forced to
answer, the effective pleadings put
forth for delay had almost brought the
mind of Europe to the conviction that
the demand would never be complied
with. Meantime days and weeks passed
by without any action and the condi-
ton of things in Constantinople that
brought out the demand has almost
passed. The final triumph of the pow
ers in forcing compliance with their
demands seem barren one, and the
long sought permission to double the
regular guardships for the embassies,
now that it is obtained, seems hardly
worth taking advantage Of.
