Spanish Merchants VIII Not Buy

Copyright, by Associated Press.
Havana, June 9.-The Spanish news
papers TEEN with articles OH the 10y
atty of Spaniards in the republic of
Mexico, Uruguay and the Argentine.
But that is too we'll known to require
extended notice. Spaniards of Ar
gentine and of Uruguay have enrolled
as volunteers in Cuba and to-day over
5000 of them are serving in this
island to maintain Spanish rule and
Spanish supremacy. SpaniardS in
the United States and all Spanish
America have initiated the novel fund,
the subscriptions extending over three
years. The latest evidence of loyalty
of the Spaniards in Spanish America
has taken a new form. What is
deemed to be a strong anti-Spanish
feeling in the American senate and in
the United States generally, has been
developed by the press in the mother
country as well as in Spanish Ameri-
ca. 1t has led to calling together Of
Spanish merchants in the republics of
Mexico. Uruguay and the Argentine.
They have protested against what
they regard as the unfriendly utter
ances of the American people, and
have unanimously decided to cease
further purchases in the United
States The movement was initiated
in South America quite recently. The
Spanish merchants of Mexico City and
Vera Cruz have decided on similar ac-
ton.

VICTORY FOR EGYPTIAN TROOPS IN
DER BRITISH OFFICERS.
Dervishes Are Whipped in the First
Battle of the Nile Campaign
Firl<it Is Captured After Fight
in which About a Thousand Der
wishes Are Kil1ed-The Egyptian
Loss Is Small.

Firket Egypt, June 8. = This point
was taken by Egyptian troops at an
early hour this mc..ning, and their
manner of acquitting themselves in
this, the first engagement of the Nile
campaign, has given great satisfac-
ton to the British officers in common
and Of them. The. Egyptian forces
left Akasheh, the Egyptian outpost,
last evening. The movement was 4
surprise, as it seemed to have been de-
termined to hold Akdsheh as an out
post until the season was passed and
the period arrived for the advance
upon Dongola in the latter part of
August or in September. The force
responded promptly to orders, howev-
er, and was soon under way for this
point. The distance is twenty miles,
and it took the whole night to accom-
plish the march. The greatest secrecy
had been maintained as to all the
arms, and precaution was taken to
prevent news of the advance from
leaking out The night march was
pursued in absolute silence. In con-
sequence, the arrival of the Egyp-
tians at the dervishes camp took the
enemy completely by surprise. They
quickly rallied, however, and rushed
TO their arms. Far from being routed
i'll the first skirmish of the attack, they
stood to their positions and made
stubborn defense of the camp for an
hour and a half, during which there
was hard fighting. The derviShes
were finally put to rout by a flank
movement executed by the cavalry.
Seeing themselves in danger Of being
surrounded the forces of the khalifa
took flight to the southwark toward
Suarda, pursued by the cavalry.
Suarda is nearly a hundred miles
south of here, but it is strongly held
by a force of several thousand der
wishes. Reports received indicate
that the loss to the dervishes will
amount to about a thousand men.
Among those killed is the Emir Ham
muda, who was their commander. be-
sides many important chiefs. Ham
muda was in command of the larger
force at Suarda. He was Of the tribe
of Habbania, and was we'll known to
Slatin Pasha while the latter was
captive of the khalifa in the Soudan.
Slatin has described him as a great
favorite with the khalifa, who pro-
NOTED him to the rank of emir because
he left his own tribe when the insur-
rection first broke out to serve the
khalifa personally. The officers in
command Of the Egyptian force ex-
press great qualification at the con-
duct in this mornings fight of the
Egyptians. about whom some doubts
have been felt, and the Soudanese,
who have been LOGGED to with conf
dence for good fighting. Both the
Egyptians and Soudanese displayed
great steadiness and dash. The Egyp-
tan loss in the fight was twenty
killed and eighty wounded Hundreds
Of dervishes were taken prisoners.

UNPLEASANT REVELATION.
Respected Citizen of n South Dakota
Town Proves a Thief

Town Proves "a Thief.
Sioux City, June Z. Through the
recent death in this city Of Thomas
Delaney, a we'll known and highly re-
spected citizen Of Kimball, S. D., the
authorities think they have discov-
cred the key to series of mysteri-
GUS robberies at the latter town over
which they have been puzzling for
the past two years. The thefts were
mostly of jeweliy and clothing from
the general merchandise store of Ed
Breen. Every effort was made to
locate the thief, but without avail A
short time ago Delaney, who had
been in poor health for many months,
determined to visit Hot Springs in
the hope that the change might work
al Improvement. While passing
through Sioux City on his way he was
taken violently sick, was removed to
the Samaritan hospital and expired in
a few hours. A search of the valise
which he had with him and Of his eff
fects at I<imbail revealed a quantity
of the missing goods from Breen's
store. Delaney's previous high stand
ing and the sad discovery after his
death Of such strong evidence of his
dishonesty have made the case a SEN
sational, and to his friends peculiar
~ painful, one.

A Chinese PiIe-Driver.

Piles were being driven in one of the
new buildings for foundation for a
punch. They were IS inches in diam
eter and IA feet long. The staging
was bamboo, and SO was the frame for
the hammer, which was round piece
of cast iron with hole in the center
for a guide rod. Attached to the ham
mer block were 81 ropes, carried up
to the top of the frame and down on
the outside, looking very much like
the old-fashioned Maypole. Twenty
seven women had hold of the ends,
and with sing-song, all together,
pulled down; up the rod four feet
travelled the hammer, then, at scream,
all let go and down it came on top of
the pile, which was unprotected by a
band or ring. The women were paid
20 cents in gold per day. This May

MASTER OF The WHIP.
The Performances OF an Artist in the
WhipIash Line.

The Performances of an Artist in the
WhipIash Line.
An us.ro-Hungarian, named Pisk-
slug, has created sensation in Vienna
~ his wonderful performance with a
whip. The first thing he deos is to take
a long-lashed stout-handled whip in
each hand, and, with orchestral accom-
paniment, proceed to crack or snap
them at terrific rate. The sound made
by his whips in this manner is grad
uated from noise like rifle report
TO the soft click of billiard ball. L;
makes curious sort of music, and
serves to show how he can regulate the
force of each stroke. More interest is
evinced when he seizes Notwithstanding
whip with an abnormally long lash. 1t
is provided with very heavy handle of
medium length. This is his favorite toy,
and what he can do with it is really
wonderful. He first gives an idea of
what fearful force may lie in whiplast
in the hands of an expert. A large
frame, over which is stretched a calf or
sheepskin, is brought on the stage. This
is marked with dots of red paint. The
man with thewhip steps up, and, swing
ing the lash around his head, let's fly
at the calfslSin. With every blow he
actually pulls piece out of the leather
leaving clean-cut hole. These pieces
are distributed among the audience to
show that there is no trickery about
the performance. After this he takes
a frame with three shelves. On these
there are a dozen or more of medium
sized apples lying very close together
and provid I'd with large numbers. Any
one in the audience may designate
which apple he wishes struck, and the
unerring lash snatches it out like a
flash. A still more difficult feat is the
swapping of coins from narrow-necked
bottle. A piece OF silver about the size
Of a half crown is put over the cork of |
the bottle, which stands on the edge of !
table. The whip artist, without APP |
pearing to take any sort of aim, sends |

him sitting on his porch looking extremely
