DESPERATE FIGH11NG IN CUBA.
Even Spanish Reports Indicate Strength
 of the Rebels.

Havana, Oct. 26.-Colonel Seguara has reported to the government that his command surprised a body of rebels at Garganta Soroa, province of del Rio, and in the fighting four of the insur- gents were killed. The Spaniards by this victory gained possession of route to the hills and started to build trench es to defend their position. While en1- ployed in this work the troops were continually fired upon by rebels. but no losses were sustained. On October "A Colonel Seguara left the main body of his command and with a small force started to reconnoitre. On his way back he learned that the Zamora bat talion was engaged with the rebels. He therefore hurried to the scene of the fighting and took part in the combat. The rebels made desperate efforts to carry the Spanish position and thus open the way for their return to the hills, but were compelled to retreat, closely followed by the Spaniards A series of bloody fights occurred during the two days of the pursuit The rebels left sixty-one dead on the field, but their losses were much heavier than this.
 The troops lost a lieutenant and twenty-one privates killed and 117 wounded, including four captains and two lieutenants.

BIC FIRE IN cHICAGO.
1 ,23O ,OOO Bushels of Grain and Consider
 able Property Destroyed. e.g

Chicago, Oct 26.--Fire broke out at noon to-day in one of the two immense grain elevators of the Chicago and Pacific Elevator company at Cherry street and the north branch of the Chi cago river. The flames soon got be- yond control of the fire department and spread to the second elevator. Over 1,250,0o0 bushels of grain were destroy ed. The Hales & Curtic Malting com panys building ignited from the heat of the burning elevators, but the fire was extinguished after hard fighting.
 The fire started In the engine room of the first elevator and within fifteen minutes the building was a mass of flames. Several alarms in quick suc- cession were turned in but all efforts to save the elevators were unavailing and the department turned it's atten- tion to protecting adjoining property. At o'clock the property loss was esti- mated to have reached a million dol lars, and the fire was at that hour prac- tically under control.
 One of the elevators, "A," is a pri- vate warehouse with 600, ,000 bushels ca- pacity, Pacific B." with 1,000,000 ca- pacity, Is a regular house and holds over S00,000 bushels wheat and some corn and oats The locality is as dan gerous as could be selected for a big fire. The two Pacific elevators were filled with wheat and of themselves would furnish material for a goodly conf1agration.
 Directly to the north is the Armour elevator, the largest In the world stocked up to the roof with grain. To the northeast is the immense malting house of Hale & Curtis, while within gunshot lie the coal shed and dock of the Crescent Coal company, stocked with thousands of tons of bituminous coal. Lumber yards in the vicinity of- fer more material for the blaze, in ad- dition to which there are any number of frame cottages scattered about.
 The fire spread to several small frame buildings owned by the Chicago, Mill waukee and St. Paul railroad, which were destroyed. When the walls of elevator "B" fell in, the roof was caught by gust of wind and blown outward. Twenty-six firemen were working directly under 1t and were or dered back just In time to escape the burning roof, which fell within a few feet of them.

MILLIONS FOR IMPORTERS.
Supreme Court Decides Against the Gov
 ernment in q Famous Case.


 Washington, Oct. 26.-The govern ments contention in the somewhat fa- nous case of Saltonstall, collector of the port of Boston, versus Birtwell, was overthrown by the decision of the su preme court to-day and importers who have paid customs dues under similar conditions to those obtaining in this case will now be enabled to recover them from the treasury to a sum total of several millions.
 Birtwell, an importer at Boston, sued the collector for the recovery of dues paid, protest of which was not made at the time of payment. The government contended in the absence of protest at the time the money was paid the right of recovery was lost.
 The circuit court for Massachusetts and the court of appeals for the first circuit ruled against the United States and Justice Shiras, announcing the judgment of the supreme court, said it took the same view as did the courts below, and affirmed their judgments. It was held that effective protest might be made at any time within ten days after the final adjudication and assess ment of the duties
 This was the second hearing of the case in the supreme court and Chief Justice Fuller stated that himself and Justices Field, Harlan and Brewer dis scented from the majority of the court.

A CARNIVAL OF MURDER
5000 ARMENI8NS MURDERED BY
 THE P0RTE,S ASS4SsINs

The Bodies Left in the Streets as Food for
 Dogs-A Tale Almost Challenging Be-
 1ief-In Many Cases Whole Families ob-
 literated-Rapine and Murder Un-
 checked Powers Silent. \
 Boston, Oct. 26-A letter dated liar poot, eastern Turkey, September 29. has been received in Boston, as follows:
 "All the letters which I have sent agree in fixing the estimate at about g. 900 as the number of the killed in the Egin massacre. More women and chil- dren in proportion seem to have suf- fered this fate than in any previous massacre of which I know. Many of the dead were left in the streets for days-food for dogs-and large num- bers were thrown into the Euphrates. The bodies have been seen floating down the river forty or fifty miles be- low the city. In some cases whole fam. flies have been obliterated
 Exact statistics of course cannot be given, but it Is feared that 2,00O is an underestimate. This is a large pro- portion in an estimated population of between 5000 and 6,O0O Christians" f The letters give the number of houses as 1,100 and of these it is said only about 150 are left This carnage Of blood and fire lasted from Tuesday, the l5th, to Thursday, the 17th. T am glad to say that Abel, the youngest of the four sons of Nicoghos Effjamachi- an, was saved. All the testimony con- CUTS in showing that the massacre was official and that it was wholly without reason. There was no disturbing ele- ment except in the imaginations of a few officials.
 They had alarmed the central gov- ernment. The vali. and the military commander were in the telegraph of- flee here most of the time from the be- ginning to the end As far as I can learn, the people made no resistance whatever, and no Turks were killed, except possibly later in the division of the spells. There were no Koords in the place. The work was done by the citizens and soldiers The massacre extended to several Of the Egin vil- lages, but we have no details.
 The local government is constant in it's assurance that no further massacres will take, place in this region, and a good deal of energy is show in restrain ing the turr lent clements. Five peo- pie were kn..- "a the Aghum villages, one of them a priest, but the timely ar rival of soldiers prevented general massacre. After all that has happened 1t is not surprising that the Christians have no sense of security, and that they are unnerved by fear.

IN MEMORY OF coy. AussnA1.
Professor Norton and Others Pay Tribute
 to His Rare Virtues.

Boston, Oct 26.-Twenty- hundred citizens gathered In Sanders theater, Harvard, tonight, to participate in the services in honor of their friend, Will liam Eustis Russell. Every seat in the auditorium was occupied by an admirer of the dead governor and chief execu- tive of his native city and they listened attentively to the masterly eulogy by Professor Charles Eliot Norton
 The vast stage of the theater was nearly hidden by hundreds of palms, ferns and other plants, and to the right of the speakers stand was placed bust of the ex-governor and to the left a magnificent cluster of chrysanthe- nuns. The stand was draped with an American flag and above the stage was a mammoth painting of the city seal for the memorial services were held by the city of Cambridge. Around the galleries hung festoons of black and white drapery.
 Mayor Bancroft presided and deliv- cred the opening address. It was meet, he said, that the city of Cambridge should pay the greatest honor possi- ble to her departed son, who had brought glory and fame to the city of his nativity. Governor Russell, he said, possessed the qualities of the great and his name would live to the end of time. Right Rev. William Lawrence, bishop of Massachusetts, offered prayer, and then Professor Norton delivered his eulogy. MT. William E. Russell, ac- companied by her brother Dr. Swan, occupied a retired seat in the audience. A double male quartet interspersed fine music during the services. Seated upon the platform were Mayor Bancroft, Bishop Lawrence, President Fairbairn of the board of aldermen, President Odiorn of the common council and oth- CTS.

public question; nor have you right to listen to any persuasions except the persuasions which come from your judgment. I appreciate the advan- tages of living in a country like this You may have had people tell you that my ideas were antagontistic to our form of government and to law and order But I want you to believe me when I say there is not a. person in this country who loves our institutions more than I do or who feels deeper interest In their perpetuation.
 And what young man has more right to prize our institutions than I have? In what other country is it possible for a young mar with nothing to com mend him except his interest in the cause to be selected by those who be- lieve in him to carry out their ideas? I so much prize the advantages of a country like this that I want to keep this government as our fathers intend~ ed. want 1t to rest securely upon the foundations which they laid, so that it will guarantee equal rights to every citizen and give special privileges and advantages to no citizen. I want it still to be so that the child of the humblest citizen of this land may be able to as- pire to any office to which his abilities or his ideas, or his labor and his in- tegrity, fit him. And it Is because I realize some of the influences which in society are tending to close the door of opportunity to young men that have felt the indignation that I have eX- pressed against great aggregates of wealth which have in~nany instances trampled upon the rights of weaker members of society, and have attempt ed, by the power which they. can com mand, to drive out competition and then prey upon society after it has been rendered helpless and lies at their mer- cy. ] read in the papers that in var!- ous institutions of learning they are nearly all against me. My friends, if I should read in the papers that there was not a college professor, not busi- ness man, not man prominent in so- ciety, who believed in what am teach ing, while I would believe in it, would still teach it.'
 The crowd at the public square be- gan to collect and at ? o'clock, when MT and Mrs. Bryan arrived, 12,000 peo- pie were congregated closely around the broad platform from which the can didate spoke, while as many unable to hear gathered on the streets in that vicinity During the hour and quar- ter occupied by Mir. Bryan the enthu- siasm was frequent and occasionally prolonged. His audience was composed almost entirely of farmers and was un- doubtedly in sympathy with his views. MT. Bryan also spoke to an audience of women at the opera house where reception in honor of Mrs. Bryan was held.

Out Six Hours on the Morse Arson Case
 Prisoner .Remanded.

Out Six Hours on the Morse Arson Case-
 Prisoner Remanded.
 At 12 o'clock yesterday noon the case of x-Councilrnan John Morse, charged with arson, was resumed before Judge Thayer in the criminal side of the su- perior court.
 Attorney F. w. Chase then began the closing argument for the defence and bore special stressson the. heavy penal ty for arson, seven years in the state prison, the seriousness and to the elo- quence with which State Attorney Will Hams would present the states case. He also pointed out some of the states claims in the case, and made his reply to them. s9
 Shortly after o'clock State Attorney Williams began the final argument for the state and it was an able and cut ting one. He arraigned before the jur- ors all the claims of the defence, and pointed out the states contentious.
 The case was given to the jury at 3:45 yesterday afternoon. For two hours the members deliberated on the case, and at o'clock they came into court and Foreman Bradley, after the jury was boiled, said that they had not agreed upon a verdict. Judge Thayer asked if 1t was because of any failure to understand the law. When the an- swer was made that it was not, then the court said that the jury should re- turn to the room and make an effort to come to a verdict The case had been exhaustively tried. The jury re- tired once more and did not seek ad- mittance to the court until $50, when it came again with g. message similar to the first.
 It was evident that there could be no decision and the jury was discharged until this morning at 10 o'clock. Morse was remanded back to jail.

 for Her Hoarded Money.
 Portland, Me, Oct. 26.-An Alfred special to the Press says that this morning young Frank Palmer of Par sonsfeld, the boy who is under arrest charged with the murder of Mrs. Bet sey Hobbs of that place, asked Sheriff Hurd to show him copy of the paper containing the account of his arrest. When he read the statement made by Charles Savage accusing him of shoot He afterwards made confession to the sheriff in which he said that Savage had grossly misstated the truth
 Palmer claims that Savage told him that Mrs. Hobbs had some money hid den in her house, which they could get; that they boys met by appointment on the morning of the murder and pro- ceeded to the house of the old lady, that Perkins story of the kindling wood was true, but that afterward both boys went to the well for some water; that the old lady was going to the house when Savage raised his gun to fire, but his courage failed him; that he (Palmer) then seized the gun and fired; that both dragged the body into the house, and Savage set three of the fires, applying the match to the old ladys clothing.

Reglstration Unpreeedently Heavy In All
 the Wards.

the Wards.
 The selectmen sitting as board of registration adjourned last evening at S:S0 o'clock. It was in session seven days, all of which were busy ones. There has never been so large num- were made" this year. The only con tention during the session was over the admission of students to registration. For several days there was tie in the board, but this was dissolved by Select- man Farren's voting with the republi- cans in many of the cases.
 Yesterday when a student named Nettleton came up for registration Se- lectman Cunningham cited the case of g. young man who was attending school in Boston and had come to his home in this city to be made" He did not think it unfair to Nettleton to ask him to return to his home in the west to vote He Cunningham did not see any difference in the cases. Nettleton was not admitted. The lists of vot- CTS to be made as returned by registrars in the various wards Ito be made was about 4,900.
 The canvass of the city during the 1 presidential campaign of 1892 resulted | in placing upon the ito be made" list $500, of whom 2,S75 were made" A | comparison of the two tables shows l that while about 300 more voters were | made this year than four years ago, 1 the ratio is much less when compared | to the number of voters ''to be made" reported by the registrars. In the last lot of voters made last evening there were seventy.
 The following is the list by wards of new voters made" yesterday: First ward, 22; Second ward, 23; Third ward, 45; Fourth ward, 59; Fifth ward, fl; Sixth ward, 2S; Seventh ward, 57; Eighth ward, 20; Ninth ward, 35; Tenth ward, 28; Eleventh ward, "A; Twelfth ward, 38; Thirteenth ward g; Four teenth ward, 4; Fifteenth ward, 5; total 43S.
 1 The total registration for the year is 3,1O9.
 The board will sit tomorrow as a court to hear reasons why certain names should not be stricken from the registry list. It will convene in the same room in which the weeks session have been held and will meet at 10 a. m.

 New York, Oct. 26.-P. J. Tynan, "No. l." of the Phoenix Park murderers, was passenger on the Saale, which ar rived this evening from Bremen via Cherbourg. MT. Lyman, when inter- viewed at Quarantine, said he natur- ally hesitated to talk for publication even in this country, as 1t was possible any utterance by him might compro- mise others and perhaps those who had been kind to him. He ridiculed the reported cleverness of the Scotland Yard men and said he had been under their noses a number of times without being suspected. He had also visited Gibraltar. He said it was owing to some carelessness' that detectives began to suspect him. After his release he went to Paris for short stay to .re- cuperate. His health was restored He will go to his home in Audubon Park.

THE RISE IN WHEAT.
An English Authority Says it Is Justified
 by the Situation

London, Oct. 26.-The Mark Lane Ex- press in it's review of the grain market says: '"The rise in wheat is justified by the situation. It is not specu- lative advance; on the contrary a spec ulative effort to bear the market is on foot. The English wheat crop did not exceed 7,25O,000 quarters, though it is stated that it reached 5000, 900. Let the farmers wait. The thrush of wheat into the market from California and Argentine is now arriving, but 1t will not arrive freely until February or March and it cannot depress prices if English wheats do not cucumber the earlier markets. Let all farmers take courage. The epoch of production is on the Wane."
