THE WAR IN THE SOUDAN.
Fierce Fighting Near khartOum i.
Reported.

Copyright, 1896, by the Associated Press)
CAIRO, April 21.-Dispatches received
here today from the front say there has
been fierce fighting at Omdurman, near
Khartoum, the headquarters of the Khalifa.
Details of the engagement or it's cause are
rot at hand, but it is said that 500 of the
Khalifa's body guard have been killed and
that a general feeling of unrest prevails
among the Khalifa's forces
The work of sending troops to the front,
supplying them with food and ammunition,
building the strategic railroad and fortify-
ing Akasheh is being carried on with ad-
mirable promptness and machine-like
Smoothness.
Further reports from the front received
here this afternoon say that beyond an oc-
casional volley at long range the dervishes
are very quiet
Well-posted military men are inclined to
the belief that the dervish leaders are pre-
pairing for a sudden movement of import
ance.
There has been even greater activity to-
day in the pushing forward of troops and
supplies to the front, and, from the remarks
dropped here and there, it would seem that
fighting is expected before tonight.
The friendly sheik, Abdel Azim, has re-
turned to Murade Wells. after having made
a demonstration with his horsemen south
of the Nile, below Hebbes. He found no
trace of the dervishes, but heard there
was force of the enemy at Abuham.

EX-GOVERNOR PATTISON
He is Said to Be tho Administrations
Presidential Candidate.
The Pennsylvania Delegation to Vote
as Unit nt ChfcagO-Car-
Isle and Whitney.

The intimation was made today by a
prominent democrat Of Pennsylvania that
Ex-Governor Pattison of that state is to be
the administration candidate for the demo-
cratic nomination at Chicago.
These intimations were made today by
Internal Revenue Collector Doyle, who is
here on his way home from business trip
to Virginia. Mr.. Doyle says that Mr. Pat
tison stands high in the opinion of the
President and other administra ton leaders
Mr.. Pattison is known to be the choice of
National Chairman Harrity, and Mr.. Har-
rity Is known to have great influence at
the White House.
The impression prevails that Secretary
Carlisle was in fair way to become the
administration candidate, but that he lost
his grip when it was found that there was
SO much and SUCH serious opposition to
him.
The Endorsement given ex-Secretary
Whitney by the Rhode Island convention
Is said to have been against his wishes.
Therefore there is no likelihood that sir.
Whitney will want the backing of the ad-
minstration. =
1t is said on good authority that he has
made up his mind to fight III the ranks at
Cficago, and to use his every power to
crush the silver men He doesn't want to
be placed where he Canno; work hard.
Mr.. Pattison is now said to he actively
in the presidential race, and his boom will
be started in few days. 1t is further
said that he has asked that the Pennsyl-
vania delegation to Chicago be instructed
to vote as a unit.

SECRETARY AND AMBASSADOR,
Rumors of Friction Bctween Messrs
OIncy and BaSarJ.

numors Oh FRICTION between Messrs.
Olncy and BaSard.
The latest story in regard to the Venezue-
Ian controversy is that it has been the
cause of serious friction between Secre-
tary Olney and Ambassador Bayard. The
immediate cause of the alleged difference
between the two high officials is due. so
1t Is Said, to Mr.. Bayard's reported oppo-
sition to the policy adopted by the admins
tration, as enunciated in Secretary Olrey's
letter to Lord Salisbury, in which ii was
pointed out clearly that this government
regarded British entertainments in Venezue-
la as a violation of the Monroe doctrine
According to the story Mr.. Bayard hSds
to the view that the Monroe doctrine does
not apply to the case at all.
If that is so there is no doubt that the
reported friction has some foundation in
fact but 1t is not regarded as at all likely
by Mr.. Bayard's friends in this city, who
point out that if it were true Mr.. Bayard
could not consistently continue to act as
medium of communication with the Brit
ish government on the subject, as is the
case.
The story is, however, that Mr.. Bayard
mas, In fact informed Mr.. Olney that his
letter to Lord Salisbury was untena BILE,
and that the United Statas would have to
withdraw from the position it had taken
Although no information can be obtained
at the State Department on the subject
the story Is generally regarded as too un-
reasonable for credence

PACIFIC RAILROAD BILL,
Report That 1t VIII Have COnsidera-
tiOn In the House.

AS has already been stated in The Star,
the Pacific railroads committee of the
House has had an understanding with
Speaker Reed, by which the Speaker
agrees to give the committee all the time
it wants on The Pacific railroad bill 1t is
now understood that the bill will be called
up next week, and that probably the whole
week Will be spent in its consideration. The
belief of the committee is that the bill will
pass the House, although it will do so, If at
all, after tie most strenuous and bitter op-
position.
The Pacific railroad lobbyists are swarm
ing in the Capitol, and every influence is
being brought to bear upon members of
the House.
The prediction Is made that If the bill
passes the House the question will add an
other issue to the presidential campaign.
RepI eseEtatives Bowers, Mcguire, Bar
ham and others of California say that the
bill may pass the House, but will not get
through the Senate. Among those who will
speak on the bill in the Senate will be SEN
ator Tillman. His friends promise that the
speech will be full of sersa tonal exposures.
1t is known that he was preparing himself
to speak before he left for the west, and
that he VII resume his Preparations imme-
diately on returning here this week.

the Bill for Their Increase.
1t is said today that Speaker Reed has
incurred the strong displeasure of the let
ter carriers Of the country by declining to
consent to give consideration to what is
known as the "Sperry bill This bill has
been favorably reported by the House COM
mittee on post offices and post roads, The
bill increases the annual salary Of letter
carriers in the larger cities 500 a year,
and those in the smaller cities $3.50 year.
Mr.. Reeds objection to the considera ton
of the bill was that it would increase the
burdens of the government, taking out of
the treasury from million to million and
half dollars a year more than now paid
to letter carriers.
The National Letter Carriers Associa-
ton, strong organization, is pushing the
bill, and is rallying it's friends. Another ef-
fort VIII be made to overcome the Speaker S
objections and to get consideration for the
measure, the friends of which declare that

ing majority.

AMERICAN CITIZEN SHOT
Experience of Dr.. Delgado. Formerly Of
New York, in Cuba.
Ordered to Execution by a Brutal
Spanish General, Although He
Showed His Passport.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, April 21.-The Com
mercial GaZette's special correspondence
from Mrs. Woodward, dated Havana, April
10, contains an interview with DIR. Jose
Manuel Delgado, the American citizen who
was shot and hacked and left for dead by
Spanish troops on March 4, when they
raided the plantation Of Dolores in Mainoa.
Delgado said he was an American neutral,
in the country attending to his farm.
When captured he presented his passport
as an American citizen.
Gen. Melguizo answered by striking him
three times with his sword. Delgado and
his seven ploughmen were tied together
with a rope and placed in line detail of
Spanish troops fired at them by command.
. Captured by the Spanish.
Maceo that day had fired Dolores planta-
tfon and retired before the Spanish troops.
A Spanish captain came to Delgado's house
with twenty men and told the doctor and
his seven field hands to follow. Delgado
showed his passport an American, as
did his men. The captain said he had roth
ing to do with the matter; he was obeying
orders, but it was his opinion that the
worst thing the others could do would be
to show that they were Americans.
Arriving at Melguizo's headquarters. Del
gado said they were neutrais, and then
showed their passports. Melguizo became
furious. 1t was then he struck Delgado
with his machcte exclaimng: 81 will shoot
you just 1 would the consul general If
he We're here
Taken Out and Shot.
There were eight of them taken out and
tied with a rope, and placed against stone
wall. The order was TO cut the prisoners
down with machetes. In attempting this
the rope broke and the soldiers were ordered
to fire. With the first volley Delgado fell
forward. feigning death. The second vol
ley sent a bullet into his thigh. All the
others except one were killed. The doctor
left for dead, and lost consciousness.
When he recovered he found himself in
his dwelling. There his old father took care
of him. Shortly afterward Spanish soldiers
came searching for the two that had es-
capped. Degado's father hid him In cane
field, exposed to the inclement weather.
Meantime the old father communicated
with Consul General Williams, and OBJ
tained a safe conduct to Havana, where Del
gado now lies, under protection of the United
States.
DR.. Delgado graduated at Columbia Col
lege, New York, and at medical college
in that city. He was in New York from 1865
to 1877, when he left to take charge of
Dolores plantation in Cuba.
