Cubans in Luck,

Havana, Cuba. June 1S.-The train
from Havana to MatauZas, which was
blown NJ laet week, between MiD&e
and Campo Florido, carried 100000 in
So gold-pirces. All this fell into the
hands of the Cubans and will be sem
to New York to the Junta to be used
in tuying arms and ammunition Tor
the patriots Though the fact has
been carefully concealed by the Span
lsh authorities, it is positively known
now, through direct communication
received from the Cuban camp.
Desertio3s from the Spanish army
are more numerous every day. One
hundred soldiers OF the Pizarro bat
TALON bave irined the Insurgents. A
few minutes after they arrived at tho
Cuban llrtS trey were attacked bv the
Spanish column and fought despe:-
ately on the Cuban side, defeating the
column which was comm 1nded to re-
tire with seventeen killed and twenty
one w%onnde'i, many Of them officers.
The Spanish deserters say that life
in the Spanish army is simply intol-
cradle. The eOldlers are roughly
treated, have scarcely anything to eat,
and have received pay only in pa per
money.
The steamer which left for Spain on
June 18Th, carried twenty-seven Span

Leading Ohio Republicans Cast
Their Lot With Democrats.
MANY SEVERE SPEECHES MADE.
COL. coNGER, A MEMBER OF
GOV. BUsHNELL's STAFF, AMONG

SAYS HE DOES NOT WEAR A
COLLAR WITH MARK HANNA

Akron, o., Aug. PA non partisan
silver picnic was held here yesterday and
was repiete with sensa tional events. To
start with 1900 persons present wore
badges in the form of fac. SMILES of
mayor Dicks famous ''loaun check TO
Populist Hugo Prcver.
Judge Z. K. Grant, hitherto a leading
Republican, was chairman. He read n
letter from Col. y. Il. Conrer anotbar
leading Republican and manufacturer
written ut sanitarium ut Kirksyille
MO. The letter repudated Senator
Hanna and the Republican party, which
allowed itself to lie ruled by him. He
SAID he would not vote for him. and
wished he had the power to work against
him.
Col. Conger declared that when bs
was chairman of the State executive com
mittee in 1889 he asked Mr.. Hanna for n
contribution, to which the reply came:
Not cent for Foraker. | don't like
MIN and L won't vote for him. The COL
onel declared that the only way to get
rid OF Hanna's tyranny was to vote the
Democratic ticket. Conger has been for
years one of the Republican wheel horses
in Ohio.
Judge Grants address, later, was even
more denunciatory, if possible, and GER
tainly more severe in language. He said
the party stood to-day rs the representa-
tive of organized greed He said he CON
sidered himself Il good Republican, but if
10 be loyal meant to wear collar bearing
the inscription, MARK Hanna, his dor.T
ne did not want to be loyal. Other SINH

Akron Republicans are greatly stirred
up over the anti-Hanna letter from Col.
Conger, read at the silver pcnic, and AN
effort will be made to compel Gov. Bush
nell TO force Col. Conger to resign from
his staff
They take the position that a failure to
comply with this request will be eouiya-
lent to an Endorsement on Bushncll's

GOLDEN STREAM FROM YUKON.
Miners Make Quick Trip Laden With
TREASURE

Skaguay, Alaska, via Seattle, Aug. 81.
This town is again convulsed with ex.
element over the fact that three men
have just made the trip out from the
klondike in the fastest time on record.
In just twenty days Jimmie Mckay,
Archie Skelp and "Kid" Birch, all orig
inally from Juneau, have poled their
shallow boat TIP the Yukon river, rowed
aci oss the lakes and crossed Skaguav
Pass to this place
TIE fastest time before was made by
O'Brien and Flint, and they had the ice
to sledge upon, making it liz twenty-one
days
The Mckay party caught just the
proper stage OF low water below the
Yukon rapids and high water above.
The three men brought with them ISL :
600 in drafts and dust. The amount
represents an average OF one winters
drifting and part of one summers wash
ing for each. Each has touched but Il
tithe OF his claim.
They say the riches of the KlonGike
river have barely been nibbled; that three
millions of gold will go out in spring
from the present claims. and that there
are many uneXplored creeks there that
shonld yield rs fabulous returns to small
labor as those now Smelling out golden
wealth.

ANOTHER FORT BURNED.
The Famous Khyber Pass Now Con-
troIled by Insurgents.

Peshawur, Aug. EFFORT Lund-
Kotal, situated at the extreme end of the
khyber Pass, and @arrisoned by SEQ men
of the khyber Hifes, was attacked and
bun ned by the Afrdis on Tuesday The
famous Khyber Pass, leading from
Afghanistan into India, has now fallen
completely into the hands of the insur-
gent tribesmen.
The only particulars obtainable at
present regarding the capture of Fort
Lundi- Kotal are that the place held out
for twenty four hours, when the attack.
ing forces succeeded in effecting an en-
trance into the fort. The reports received
from Lundi-Kotal add that the enemy is
now scattered, but intends to reassembl
on September Is.
The British authorities are gratified at
the fact that all the men on leave from
the Foi tieth Regiment or Pathans, com
posed of Mchmands, Swatis and Bouer-
walls, whose tribes are revolving, rejoined
their colors on the outbreak of the pres.
ent disturbances. In addition, many
members OF the reserve forces of this body
of meu have voluntarily applied for en-.
rollment.
The news obtanable regarding the
movements ofthe enemy is of the most
meagre description. The outposts around
Jamrud report that they have "ot seen
any lnsurgent tribesren, and it is i'm
possible to ascertain accurately what is
passing behind the screen of hills west
and southwest OF the Jamrud Plain. 1t
is currently reported that the government
has sent n second letter of warning to the
Amer of Afghanistan.

GAINING WITH STEADlNEss
Gratifying Improvement in Business All
Over the Country.

New York, Aug. 37.-Dun e. Co.'S
Review of Trade tomorrow will say: The
speculative markets have had their turns
of reaction, but business has had none
this season, gaining with nteadlness
which is most gratifying. The starting
OF works, increase in hands employed,
advance in wages and p, ices of products
and the heavy movement of crops are
facts before which all speculative inhu
ence have to bow.
The week dispa tches mentions sixteen
iron works which have started against
one closing. Fifteen wooden works have
have also started up, and so it is in many
other branches, while many more works
have Increased their forces and MANY are
preparing to resume. some OF which have
Increased the wages of their employes.
While these things continue, with grain
rising and going abroad in enormous
quantities, the money markets have every
reason for Astounding confidence and the
speculative markets for strength.
The crop prospects are contra lictory,
ms is usual at such n time, but it is a
noteworthy fact that none of them iudi-
cate anything less than an ample supply
of the great staples.
The failures for the week have been
223 in the United States against 22S
for the same week last year.

Bridgeton pioneer., 1897-06-03

ui0 poioie tne Settlhg OF bno sun.
AT night in response to call from the
attending physicians, Drs. Davis and
Sites, of Bridgeton went to Newport for
consultation in the matter After most
thorough and careful examination, the
physicians concluded that the chances of
recovery are eight to two.
Page has splendid constitution, is
young and has indomitable courage, all
of which is greatly in his favor. He is
given every attention, and it will be for
tunate indeed if he should withstand the
wound and entirely recover.
Sensational and highly colored reports
have been sent to foreign papers of the
high Indignation abounding in and about
Newport against the Italians, and some
go so far as to tell of deeds of violence
being directed toward the foreigners. All
this is mythical. There is absolutely no
excitement in the village attending the
affair There is general regret, and Page,
particularly, has much sympathy from
the tact that he is so seriously hurt. But
there is little feeling against the Italians
1t is conceded that the Newport boys
were to blame. They attacked the Ital-
lans first. In fun it is true, but so ap-
parently were the young fellows in ear
nest that the Italians were badly fright
ened, and believed that they were to be
injured.
Bradford practically says the same
thing as do all the others who were there.
The Italians are quietly remaining in
Jail. They did not know the character of
the people they were dealing with. They
were thrown in the water, and chased by
man with knife. there is little Won
der that Carfagria drew the revolver and
fired.
Page does not blame him. He made
statement to the Justice. in which he said
he and his party began the trouble.
Carfagria is greatly exercised and feels
much worried, and seems to be in earnest
in his desire that Page will recover.
