CUBA'S ANTI-AMERICAN FEELING
The Merchants VIII Make No More
Purchases Here.

Copyrighted, 1896, by Associated Press)
Havana, June THE Spanish newspa-
pers TEEN with articles on the loyalty of
Spaniards in the republics of Mexico,
Uruguay and Argentina. But that is too
well known to require extended notice.
The Spaniards of Argentine and of Uru-
quay have enrolled as volunteers in Cuba
and today over 5000 of them are serving
in this island to maintain Spanish rule
ana Spanish supremacy. The Spaniards
in the United States and all Spanish
America have initiated a naval fund the
subscriptions extending over three years.
The latest evidence of loyalty of Span
iards in Spanish America has taken a
new form. What is deemed to be a strong
anti-Spanish feeling in the American SEN
ate and the United States generally has
been developed by the press in the mother
country as well as in Spanish America.
1t has led to the calling together of Span
ish merchants in the republics of Mexico,
Uruguay and the Argentine republic.
Iney have protested against what they
regard as the unfrendly utterances 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
nave decided on similar action

able panic among the great crowd IN the

EIRKET CAPTURED BY TROOPS
Deryishes Made a stubborn Fight
and Lost 1000 Men.

Firket, Egypt, June This point was
taken by the Egyptian troops at an early
hour this morning and their manner OF
acquitting themselves in this, the first
engagement of the Nile campaign, has
given great satisfaction to the British
officers.
The long night march was pursued i'll
absolute silence, in consequence of which
the arrival of the Egyptians at the Der
wishes camp took the enemy completely
by surprise. They quickly rallied, how
ever, and rushed to their arms. They
stood to their positions and made stub
born defense of the camp for two hours,
during which there was hard fighting.
The dervishes were finally put to rout by
a flank movement executed by the cav
airy. Seeing themselves in danger of be-
ing surrounded the forces of Khalifa
took flight to the southwark toward
Suarda pursued by the cavalry
The reports received indicate the loss
to the dervishes will amount to 1000 men.
Among those killed is the Emir Ham
muda, who was their commander; besides
many important chiefs. Hammuda was
in command of the largest force at Su-
arda. The Egyptian loss in the fight was
20 killed and 50 wounded. Hundreds of
dervishes were taken prisoners.

THE CORDETT-SHARKE CONTEST
As Usual the Match Only Ended in
Empty Talk.

San Francisco, June 7.-Vigorous efforts
are being made here to get on four
round match between Corbett and Tom
Sharkey, the muscular sailor, who so Tar
has whipped every man he has gone
against. Last night it was reported that
an agreement had been reached whereby
Corbett would meet Sharkey in a four
round contest. He would not agree to
knock the sailor out, however, but stip-
ulated that if Sharkey was knocked out
in four rounds he (CorbetO was to get
so per cent of the gate receipts and
Sharkey nothing. If Sharkey should be
on his feet at the end of the fourth round,
the receipts were to be divided between
the two, Corbett 10 receive tn larger
share. Corbett today denied that he had
made any such agreement but the man
ayers of the National Athletic Club say
that a new deal is now being negotiated
which will result in a fight of some sort
on June %.
Corbett stated to the Associated Press
tonight that he was willing to meet Shar-
key in a four-round go, but could not
guarantee to knock him out. The cham
pion's proposition is that if he should
put Sharkey out, he is to get 80 per cent
of the gross receipts, and Sharkey moth
ing. If Sharkey should manage to stay
four rounds, the sailor should receive a
small proportion of the receipts. Sharkey
at first agreed to this proposition and the
fight was set for June %. Later how
ever, the big sailor concluded that he
was getting the short end, and insisted
that if he should be on his feet at the
end of the fourth round the contest
should be declared a draw Corbett
laughed at what he calls such a nervy
proposition, and declines to allow Shar-
key an opportunity to make a draw with
him. Corbett could not be induced to
change his opinion and Sharkey could
not be persuaded to meet the champion
on any other terms than those he pro-
posed, so the fight is off temporarily 1t
is very probable however that Sharkey
may be tempted to stand up before Cor
bett and do his best to stay four rounds
for the short end of the gate receipts.

HEAVY FIRE AT wALLA WALL
Northern Pacific Elevator Co.'S Lars
Building Totally Destroyed.

Walla Walla, June Tonight abe
midnight an alarm of fire was sound
which quickly brought out the fire q
partment. 1t was ascertained that d
grain elevator belonging to the Northsl
Pacific Elevator Company was on fire
The fire had gained such a start thI
all efforts to extinguish it proved d
availing. In a short time the large buis
ing, together with the contents, vi
consumed.
The capacity of the building is abOi
100000 bushels of grain. At the tin
there were only about 10000 bushels
the building. This grain it is stated
longs to Dement, Brothers. Everythll
proved a total loss. There is doubtless
surance on both building and contena
but owing to the lateness of the hoV
the particulars could not be ascertal
ed. The fire is undoubtedly the work
an incendiary. At the time of the fire
heavy rain prevailed, which prevented
fire from being more general.
Several adjoining buildings caught ~
and also cars, but were saved.
