RECORD OF SPANISH BUroHERY.
How the Spanish Troops Massacre Women
 and Children.

Havana, Oct. 19.-To show the con- trast between the treatment accorded to rebel prisoners by the Spaniards and that shown to Spanish captives by the insurgent leaders, the following recent incidents are mentioned:
 In the fight which General Melguiso had with General Moceo's forces a short time ago, Melguiso captured forty rebels, who were shot on the spot, and in the engagement between Maceo and the Spaniards under Bernal, the latter caused twenty-two prisoners to be shot, including 6 beautiful young girl and two older women. Bernal says he saw one of the women hidden in the bush nearby and after the fight stray shot picked one of his soldiers, when they all rushed on her, she killing seventeen before she was captured and killed
 With the forty men killed by Melgui- so, there were four women and child, but 1t is not known whether the child was abandoned in the woods or killed. The Spaniards tried to force the women to tell the wareabouts of Maceo's party, but the only words they got out of them were that the Spaniards were cowardly dogs, and this so enraged Melguiso that he ordered them shot, all dying with the cries of "Vive Cuba Libre."
 The above affairs show that the Span iards continue their relentless butchery, and do not pardon a single man captur- ed in the field, while the Cubans pur- sued a contrary courseas the following case gives evidence: Perico Degaro, commanding one of Maceo's brigades in fight, captured a lieutenant colonel, named Penichet, of Cuban birth, with nineteen soldiers of the line and seven volunteers. The lieutenant colonel and seven men were killed, but the nineteen regulars were returnd to Major Dolse, of Melguiso's staff, after being dis armed.

GLADSTONE ON ENGLAND,s DUTY.
She Should at Once and Alone Deal With
 the Great Assassin.

She Should at Once and Alone Deal With
 the Great Assassin.
 London, Oct 19.-A meeting called for the purpose of protesting against the Turkish atrocities was held in St. James hall, London, this evening, un- der the chairmanship of the Right Rev. Edward Stuart Talbot, D. D., bishop of Rochester. The hall was crowded to its fullest capacity.
 A letter from MT. Gladstone was read, in which the ex-prenier declared that 1t would be a wild paradox to say that the enforcement of British treaty rights to stop the systematic massacres in Turkey would provoke hostilities from the powers. He added it would be abandoning duty and prudence to ad- vestise beforehand for the ears of the great assassin that British action was limited to what the most backward of the six powers deemed sufficient. If the fundamental distrust of Great Brit ain and the belief that she is pursuing a selfish policy in the eastern Mediter- ranean caused some of the powers to be backward that vas a matter that deserved to be gravely considered.

MISS MONROE rs. THE "woHLD."
Suit for Premature Publication of"World's s
 Fair Ode" in the Supreme Court.


 Suit for Premature Publication of"World's s
 Fair Ode" in the Supreme Court.
 Washington, Oct. 19--Miss Harriet Monroe's suit for damages against the New York World, by reason of the pre- mature publication of her World s Fair Ode" was brought to the atten- tion of the United States supreme court to-day by a motion of her attorneys to dismiss or affirm the judgment in the case.
 A judgment for $5,000 was given against the World, from which it ap- pealed to the United States supreme court last April In the brief of coun- sel supporting the motion, the rule of the court permitting counsel to ask for ten per cent. damages in cases which are appealed to the supreme court of the United States, purely for delay, is discussed and its applicability urged. Counsel say:
 ''The conduct of plaintiff in error in committing the piracy was arrogant and cynical Its conduct since the judgment, especially in suing out this writ of error, has been vexatious and oppressive. It asks this court to sane ton legal proposition which has never before been contended for by the bar, nor dreamed of by any court in the land It has delayed the defendant in error, has superseded her Judgment and explanation, and subjected her to large additional expense. Ten per cent damages will not reimburse Miss Monroe for the damage the wrongful issuance of this writ has caused her"

CHAIRMAN JoNES FRIGHTENED.
He Urges the American People to Beware
 of CorOOrations

He Urges the American People to Beware
 of Corporations.
 Chicago, Oct. 19.-The following ap- peal and warning addressed to the American People" was given out to- night by Chairman Jones, on behalf of the democratic national committee:
 'In view of the fact that the great corporations, with scarcely an excep- ton, and many of the large employers of labor in the United States are en- gagged in a concerted effort to coerce their employees into voting at the ap- preaching election against their own convictions, deem it my duty to call upon all those who believe in the su- premacy of the law and the untram- melled freedom of the individual in the right of exercising the ballot, to use their utmost effort to prevent the sue cess of this most fragrant act of law lessness; for if this conspiracy succeeds government by corporations will have succeeded government by the people.
 "The corporations which thus appeal to force and frauds strike at the very foundations of republican government and the lovers of free institutions must arouse themselves to save the country from instant peril. Especially should the workingmen assert their manhood rights. If they vote their convictions and in accordance with their interests the democratic ticket is certain of elec- tion and in that case the employing corporation will have no desire to en- bark upon a policy of punishment.
 'In the contest that is raging the sal vation of the workingmen lies in the assertion at the polls of his rights as a free and independent American citi- zen. The perpetration of this attempt ed outrage upon free suffrage will work it's own cure. An indignant people, jealous of their rights, will demand that the legislatures shall proceed at once by vigorous measures to prevent the possibility of a repetition of such attempts hereafter.
 National committee backed by the full power of the democratic organiza- tion in every state pledges itself that every scoundrel, whether public officer or private citizen, who Is detected in any violation of the law, shall be viz orously prosecuted and sent to the pen itentiary if possible.

TOWN OF ENFIELD IN RUINS.
A Confiagration Completely Wipes Out It
 Business Portion.


 Business Portion.
 Athol, Mass, Oct. 19.-The town of Enfield was visited by a fire to-day. which wiped out the entire business presumably from an overheated oven, and made rapid headway, spreading from the bakery to Gould's tinship, then to the Masonic and G. A. R. hall block, on the corner of the two main streets. Thence it leaped the street to the opposite corner, burning out the long block of stores there and dwell- ing beyond. While this was in progress the strong wind carried sparks across the river, igniting the lumber yard of Gillette & Flint, containing about 100000 feet of humber. This was entirely burned out.
 The lumber of the Boston and Albany railroad, across the way, was also burned. There was no means whatever. of fighting the fire, not even hand en- zine, and about o'clock word was sent to Athol for aid. A steamer and hose company responded. When they arriv- ed the fire had exhausted nearly all the combustible material in reach, and was soon under control. The firms burned out are as follows: c. D. Haskell, gro- ceries; W. F. Howe, groceries; E. Howe, novelty store, and postoffice; J. Gould, tinshop; H. D. Hess, market; C. Smith, barber shop; F. E. Davis. harness; Rogers & Leonard market; H. M. Brown, furniture; Mrs. Murphy, miili- nery; G. A. R. and Masonic halls; I. Vester, tobacco, etc.
 The hotel, opposite the postoffice. caught once or twice, but the fire was put out in each case. Woods store is the only one standing in the town. The loss has not been estimated. The insurance is mostly placed through James D. Kimbal of Orange, and Dan- iel Stone & Son of North Dana.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Admiral Self ridge cabled the navy department to- day that hte Marblehead left Smyrna this morning for Gibraltar on her way home, having on board all the men of his fleet whose terms of enlistment will shortly expire.
