The Tale of Massacre of Fifteen Hundred
People.

Boston, January ga letter has been
received in Boston describing the situa-
ton in the vicinity Of Sivas, Eastern
Turkey, and stating that heartrending
tale comes from Gurun. 1t is sickening
recital of horrors. 1t is one thing to read
of the massacre of fifteen hundred people,
and quite another to witness the shooting
of friends and neigh bors, and walk the
streets flowing with their blood. Just
when we begin to recover breath from
the awful scenes as Sivas, the news
comes of their REPETITION with even
additional horrors at Manjaluk and
Gurun. From total population Of 5000

Gregorian church were killed and another
saved his life by accepting the Mohamme

to serve the vile purposes of the
lmurderers. 1t is said that mothers, te
save their children from this end, threw
them into the river. Those who attacked
the town were chiefly Kurds aided by
the neighboring bad men OF all tht
Mohommedan races. There were soldiers
enough to have defended the town against
all corners from without, Why they die
not do it is the question and mystery
which confronts the same situation else
where.

THE VENEZUELAN COMMISSION.
Question of Going Abroad Subject of In.
formal Discussion,

Washington, January 8.-The question:
cussed by the Venezuelan boundary com.
missioners, and the suggestion has been
made that it might be possible to send
the secretary of the commission abroad
t, pursue such lines of notification as
may be found necessary. No conclusion
has yet been reached on the point.
That Secretary Olney wants to impress
the commission with it's entire indepen-
dence of the State Department was shown
by his polite hut firm refusal to have any
thing whaey to do with the selection
of officers Of that board. Mr.. Justice
Brewer and Chief Justice Alvey, who
were appointed suboommission to select
quarters for the commission, have not
yet completed that duty, but will do SO
before the commission reassembles next
Saturday morning. 1t is said there are
three places under consideration, the
bui ding occupied ~ the Bureau of Ame-
llcan Republics, the Free Library build
| ing and the Congressional Library build
ing. 1t is thought that a portion of the
last named building may be completed
sufficiently for the use of the commission
in case they are unable to find suitable
quarters elsewhere.
The question will probably be settled
1T the next meeting of the commission,
which will he held at the State Depart
] Ineut ) urday morning. Mr.. Coudert
| has goAe to New York and Mr. Gilman
70 Baltimore. Mr.. White will be here in
time to attend the next meeting.

Cables That His Troops Have Defeated the
Insurgents.
Washington, January 8.-The following
cablegram form Gen. Martinez Campos
was received the at Spanish legation this
afternoon: 1.-THE column of General
Navarro yesterday had an engagement
lasting three hours with the main bands
If Maceo and Gomez in Ceiba Del Aqua,
dispensing them. Twenty dead were
found and buried by the soldiers. The
Spanish luss was slight, four officers be-
ing wounded and twenty Of the men
were either killed or badly wounded.
The troops captured numbers of horses,
arms and ammunition. The column is
accommodating the scene of the fight and
many columns are following the in
surgents. The army is in high spirits and
Havana is completely quiet"
Mr.. Dupuy DE LONE received long
cablegram from the government at Mad
drid today giving a summary of the latest
official reports received from the oom-
mander- in-chief in Cuba. These reports
show 1t is exceedingly difficult to get a
fight with the bands of marauders which
are continually galloplng about. burning
and pillaging defenceless plantations and
small villages. Gen. Exchaug, who is i'll
the rear of the insurgents, has twice
succeeded in overtaking few of the
bands and capturing some prisoners. Gen.
Calnpos says the rebels never stop long
enough to be overtaken in any consider
able mum bers. In the invasion of Pinar
Del Rio by the insurgents, small bands
of bandits preceded the mainsforces of the
insurgents and caused more damage than
MaceO and Gomez. Yesterday one
thousand men were sent by sea to
Colonia, the port of Pinar Del Rio, to re-
inforce the troops there. In the rest of
the entire island of Cuba nothing of a
revolutionary character is occurring
Minister Dupuy de LONE expressed full
confidence that these dispatches give an
exactly truthful statement of affairs

A STEER IN THE HOUSE.
He Did as Much Damage as the Bull in tn g
China shop.

About O'Clock Tuesday afternoon a
maddened steer broke out of drove that
was being 1riven along Clark street, and
jumping over the fence in front of the
residence of S. ". jennings, at 244 Clark
street, ran up the front steps, through
the door, into the house. The greatest
excitement imaginable followed The
only persons in the house at the time
were Mrs. Jennings. the aged mother of
Mr.. Jennings, aud his daughter, Jennie.
The front door of the house was securely
locked but could not withstand the ter
rife rush of the maddened beast, and
flew open, breaking the lock and the door
knobs
When the steer reached the hallway he
attempted to turn around, but his mas
siye form would not turn in the narrow
space. Finding that he could not turn,
he pressed onward tearing the wall paper
with his horns and knocking down
large hatrauk which was standing in
the hall.
One of the droyers, man by the name
of Newson, had by this time entered the
house through rear door and confronted
the mad beast with a club. Newsom,
however, had no terrors for the steer,
who. Notwithstanding the beating that
Newsom was giving him in order to pre-
vent his further progress, made wild
dash M the stairs He managed to ge5
half way, and then fell backward, carry
ing the banister with him as he fell.
Miss Jennie Jennings was at the top of
the stairs when the steer made the leap
upon them. Seeing the mad beast adj
yanoing toward her, she fell back in "a
faint
In falling the intruder had been turned
around. With roar he ran with his
horns ready for an attack against the
parlor door, SCATTERING it into hundred
pieces and throwing the fragments in all
directions Mrs. jennings was in the
parlor, advancing towards the door at
the time, and she had very narrow es-
cape from being caught upon the horns
of the beast. With his head through the
panels of the door the brute fell, and 1t
was in this position that Newson, who
had procured rope, fastened him DOM
and later forced him out of the house.
Although the steer was in the mouse
but few minutes the damage TO the
house and furniture will be several nun

MARYLAND! MY MARYLAND
Honors Herself By Inaugurating a
Republican Governor.
LLOYD LOWNDES TAKES THE
RETNS OF GOVERNMENT.

A Red Letter Day in NIary1and's History

Annapolis, Md. January S.-Hon.
Lloyed Lowndes was formally inaugu-
rated as the successor of Governor Frank

house. In addition to witnessing the IN
auguration of the first Republican
governor in 80 years, hundreds were at
tracted by the prospect of seeing the new
order OF things in the Legislature. Since
1864 the Democrats have had a majority
of the members of both Houses in un-
broken succession. Indeed, at most of
the sessions the minority has been too
small to have any marked influence upon
legislation.
The fact that governor was elected
by the people independent of party lines,
was emphasized by the great popular
demonstration which was made in his
honor at Cumberland and all along the
route to Baltimore yesterday 1t was
continued last night and this morning in
Baltimore and On the various lines lead
inginto the CITY.
Arriving here Mr.. Lowndas was greeted
by thousands Of persons who took part in

feet. The governor elect was escorted to

near the State house, opposite Francis
street. After the procession had passed,
Mr. Lowndes was escorted to the State
house, where the Inauguration took place
in the Senate cham Der, in the presence of
the Senators, the members of the House
of Delegates and the judges of the court
OF appeals.
Standing on small, uncovered plat
form erected at front window of the
Senate chamber, Mr.. Lowndes delivered
an address TO his thousands of listeners
AT the conclusion of his address Chief
Justice Robinson of the Court of Appeals
administered TO him the oath of Office
Then the ancient test book was signed
