Hanged.

Havana, August 3O.-GuerrillaS from
Vergora, Spain, connected with the
Lusitan.a division, overlook recently
at Luisa, the bands of Castillo and
Banderas. After sharp fighting the in
surgents were dislodged from the
trenches. They left four dead on the
field behind them as they retired with
their wounded. Seven of the troops
are sad to have been wounded in the
engagement.
Insurgents lurking in the outskirts
of San Antonio de los Banos, province
of Havana, recently fired into the Span
ish military hospital, occupied by yell
low fever patients. A temporary panic
resulted among the patients and the
excitement in consequence Of his attack
by the insurgents was with difficulty
suppressed
An aged Spaniard named Felipe
Mederas. peaceable citizen, residing
in the town of Managua. the father Of
a large family, was recently captured
in the suburbs of the town and hanged
by the insurgents, so the Spanish Off
cials report. Mede1S was a highly
respected man and the members of his
family are connected with some Of the
best families on the island Of Cuba.
A Manzanillo correspondent IS author
fty for the statement that the insurgents
last week dragged Jose Billadosiga, an
o.her pdlceable Spanish citizen, away
from the British plantation Of Media
Luna last week. and hanged him to a
tree in dne vicinity of that town. Be
fore life became extinct and while he
was still swinging in mid-air they
mutilated his body in a frightful fashion
with machees. His wife, native Gu
ban. was assaulted and finally beaten
numerically, the only excuse given fer
this outrage being that she had been
gull y of the offense of marrying a Span
lard.

or, He TrifIed With Fate.
London, August 91.-A dispatch to the
Times from Constantnople says that
the Joint note of the Ambassadors of
the powers asking the Sublime Porte to
suppress the disorders in Constantine
pie without delay failing to nave the de-
sired effect, the representatives OF the
powers dispatched a joint telegram
warning the Sultan that he endangered
the Turkish empire by suffering the
continuance of anarchy by the conniv-
ance Of the imperial troops and the po-
lice. 1t is said that the Sultan trembled
when he received this warning telegram.
Neither the members of the diplomatic
circles nor rational observers doubt
that an armed mob of Turks had been
previously organized for possible riots.
II was noticed that less than TWO hours
after the insane attack on the Ottoman
bank by the Armenians, the mob that
filed the streets at Galata overspread
the whole city, and Turks in parties from
12O 10 $50 strong, apparently well or
ganized and acting in concert, crossed
in lighters from Stamboul.
In commenting upon the rapidity with
which the mob overspread Constantine
pie after the attack upon the Ottoman
bank, the Constantinople correspondent
of the London Times says that all of
the mischief could not have been done
without organization and without the
connivance of the authorities
RIOTLNG RENEWED.
Constantinople, August 30.-Rioting
was renewed in the Galata quarter of
this city Saturday night A sharp fu-
silade took place between the troops and

few minutes, however, and a stampede

The ambassadors of ifle foreign pow
ers held a conference and sent a strong
joint appeal asking the Sultan to sup
press the disorders without delay. No
reply has been received from the Sub
lime Porte as yet.

Uninterrupted Toll, Yet Mr.. Bryan
Stands 1t Well.
Jamestown, N. Y, August S0.-Mr.
and Mrs. William j. Bryan enjoyed
day of ease, after a week Of campaign
ing which has included speeches in the
largest inland cities of the State, in two
or three farming csnters. and many short
ones from car platforms. Two and
three ard sometimes more long speeches
have been made by Mr. Bryan each
day, and the intervals between have
been spent in travelling b. train or
carriages. Every morning has seen
him up at six o'clock and not before one
in the morning has he been able TO So
cure sleep. The week with him has
been a
SEASON OF UNREMITTTNG TUR-
MOIL,
pushing through crowds, riding after
brass bands with fireworkse flying, or
cannon roaring in his ears. Even in the
quieter moments az hotel tables and in
car seats, there have always been a
dozen people at his elbow to shake
hands. to try TO talk politics. TO tell
him how the campaign must be run.
He has even had, to WELD fork with the
left hand while writing autographs with
the right. Despite this continuous
strain, Mr. Bryan was
LOOKING ALMOST AS FRESH
as a week ago when he appeared in the
hotel dining room this morning. His
voice has lost most Of the huskiness
which at one stage Of the tour threaten
ed to bring it TO an end. He and Mrs.

Afterward they drove TO Lakewood, on

and other places.

In the morning a brief visit will be
made to Chautauqua, there win be
speach at Ripley, and then a dash to
Cleveland o., where Mr.. Bryan will
speak tomorrow night. Being shown
a newspaper statement to-day that the
owner of the largest hall in Toledo, who
is a Republican, refused to rent the
hall for a Democratic meeting, Mr. Bry-
an said that he would tell the Toledo
Democrats that if the people there want
to hear him he will speak on the prai-
re.
Word has been received that a plan
is on foot to pack the hall in Cleveland

Grand Army of the Republic, while
across the streets and up and down the
wide avenues of the residence portion,
and from top to bog.0m of the big Office
buildings, in all manner of designs, may
be seen the national colors. The rail-
roads have prepared themselves for the
expected rush and say they will be able
TO handle the crowds, net only in COM
ing 10 the city, bu5 also as Cney leave,
when
THE BIGGEST RUSH
is looked for. The accommodations
committee where information as to
quarters can be obtained 10y correspond

heimer block. The rush, however, is
not expected until tomorrow, the re-
duced rates not allowing earlier travel

be at 7:40 in the morning, when Com
mander-in-Chief l. n. Walker and s1aff
VII arrive on a special train and be

Major C,arkson was prominent can

final election of commander-.n-chief is
considerably affected by the fight for To-

regular trains on which veterans and
their friends will arrive, there will ar
