BIG BATTLE IMPENDING.
Cubans and Spaniards to Fight for Control
 of the Port of Banes.

Havana, via Key West, April 4.- Banes, an important port on the north coast near Gibara, from which there are heavy annual expectations of ban anas and cocoanuts to the united States, and which Is the site of the es- tate of H. Dumois & Co, American cit izens. narrowly escaped complete de- struction to-day by the insurgents.
 The expedition under General Roloff, by the steamer Laurada, carrying 2,400 rifles, 500,000 cartridges and several pieces of rapid-fring artillery, landed alongside the Quay of Banes. General Galixto Garcia with 5000 men came to protect the convoy of arms and ammu- milton; but as Roloff had no men to arm, Garcia was compelled to carry the arms into the interior.
 It is reported that the insurgents, hearing that a Spanish gunboat might arrive at any moment, closed the en- trance of the port with torpedoes. Gen eral Roloff, assisted by local bands and finally by insurgents under General Garcia. commenced to, fortify the heights around the port, hastily casting up trenches to make the port tempora- rily impregnable to any Spanish forces in the neighborhood of Gibara.
 The gunboats Nueya, Espanas and Mealicia had arrived at Nipe from Ha- vana The cruiser Reina Mercedes had left Havana on the 18th with four com- panies of marines and infantry under the command of Rear Admiral Mareco to unite with all the forces which had left Nipe and Gibara, with a view to a combined land and sea attack upon the insurgent position for the recovery of the port of Banes.
 Nipe is separated from Banes by the 2,OOO men in all, marched on Banes, where they are detained in full view of the formidable and nearly impreg- nable insurgent position.
 Reinforcements have been sent for ward by the Spanish and Admiral Na- varro will sail tomorrow with the cruiser Legasli for the Caribbean and thence for Nipe to possibly direct the attack by sea- The endorsements eX- pected will be under General Livares.
 Evidently an important battle is in sight if the insurgents try to defend their advantage of the stronghold and the claim of being able to hold a sea- port. Great anxiety exists with regard | to the garrison of 100 men in the fort defending the quay of Banes. It is be- lieved they will be compelled to surren- der for lack of water and supplies.

FIRE IN KANSAS CITY.
For While it Looked as if a Confiagration
 Would Result.

Kansas City, April 14,-The Scarritt block, a, substantial five-story brick building on Ninth street, and directly across the street from the central sta ton of the Kansas City fire depart ment was destroyed by fire tonight. The fire for time threatened another block in the very heart of the city. The big six-story Hall building, ex- tending south of Walnut street to Ninth street, in which are the Times and World newspapers, several stores and many offices, seemed in great dan ger, as it was soon on fire in the up- per story adjoining the Scarritt block.
 The electric wires went down and everybody left the building. The fire burned fiercely from 9 o'clock until 1O:3O, by which hour nothing but the walls remained of the Scarritt block. The building was unoccupied. The damage in the Hall building is not great The mechanical department of the Times was shut down for nearly two hours, but the paper has suffered not material damage. The office of the World was flooded. Total loss $30,000.

CONTEMPLATION UPRELD.
An Important Test Vote in the Senate, Yos-
 terday, on the Tariff.

Washington, April 14-The first skir- mish on the tariff question occurred in the senate to-day. It was followed by a vote which served as a test of strength of the various elements of the senate. The vote occurred on a motion by Mr. Morrill,, rep, of Vermont, chair man of the committee on finance, to refer a resolution by MT, Vest, one of the democratic members of that com mittee. The resolution was in the na- ture of a criticism of Secretary Gage, and declared illegal his recent order relative to goods imported after April 1, when according to the retroactive clause of the pending Dingley bill, the new tariff rates are to apply
 Mr Morrills motion prevailed by the close vote of "A to 23. The affirmative vote was given by republicans, includ- ing one silver republican, MT. Mantle of Montana. The negative vote was made up of democrats, populists and two silver republicans PettigreW of South Dakota and Cannon of Utah.
 Prior to the vote a breezy discussion occurred on several phases of the tariff. The subject came up first when MT. Mantle presented a memorial from the wool growers urging ample protection to their industry. He referred in this connection to reports that Secretary North of the Wool Manufacturers as- sociation was acting as secretary of the finance committee. Mir. Morrill, denied the statement, saying the gentleman had been summoned as an expert to give information on the wool question.
 Messrs. Hoar of Massachusetts, Flaw ley of Connecticut and Gray of Della ware participated in the debate. MT. Morrill, succeeded in cutting off the de- bate by calling for the regular order, but it soon broke out again on MT. Vests resolution directed against the secretary of the treasury. MT. Vest declared that the retroactive clause of the pending tariff bill was illegal and beyond the power of congress. He characterized Secretary Cages recent order as a nullification of the existing law and a move to intimidate the inn porters of foreign goods. MT. Morrill, s motion to refer the resolution to the finance committee brought the question to an issue, with the result stated.

put as a motion and carried on viva voce vote.
 MT. De Bussy called for a standing vote, and this resulted in the motion being voted down.
 On motion of MT. Goodman, it was decided to hold the carnival only one day by vote of to 4.
 MT. De Bussy moved that May 5 be decided upon for the day and it was so voted.
 The matter of collecting the amounts already subscribed towards the carnival was next brought up, and J. c. Johnson proposed that a paid collector be hired. Mir. Cass also favored this plan, and read the immediate payment of the for the immediate payment of the amount of their subscriptions, which he proposed that the collector present to those merchants on whom he called. It was, however, finally decided that It would be inadvisable to have a paid col lection and it was suggested that the various committees appointed to solfclt subscriptions be asked to see that sub- scriptions be paid up at once. Messrs. E. Howe and s. Goodman volunteered to collect the amounts subscribed by Chapel street merchants. These two gentlemen were finally appointed a committee to see about having the sub scriptions paid in at once and were en- powered to adopt any plan for this pur- pose which seemed to them feasible.
 On motion of MT. De Bussy the sum of $1O0 was appropriated to the enter tainment committee.
 On motion of MT. Southard, it was voted that the offer of Ewen Mcintyre of the use of his vacant store on Chapel street as bureau of comfort during the carnival be accepted and a vote of thanks was rendered to MT. Mcintyre for his offer.
 The meeting then adjourned until 5:5o this afternoon.

 TALE DEFEATS MANHATTAN,
It Was Tight Squeeze, However, for the
 Blue.

New York, April 14.-The Yale base ball players had a narrow escape from defeat at the hands of the Manhattan college team this afternoon on Jasper field. During the first three innings neither side scored but in the fourth the New Haven men got onto Dono- vans pitching and knocked out five runs. In the next inning they scored two more, and things looked very blue indeed for the home team. In the sixth inning the Manhattan'S scored two runs through clever hitting, and in the eighth they put up two more. Tke score at the end of the eighth inning was to 4 in favor of Yale.
 In the first half of the last inning the Manhattans made four runs, bringing their total to to Yale's z, but their fondest hopes of victory were rudely smashed in the latter half of the inning when the Yale men with a base on balls, base hit and three bagger from Green- way, scored two runs and ended the game.

CUARLES w DAYTON
COLOR LINE AT ANNAPOLIS.
Congressman Shattuc Appoints a Co1ored
 Boy as a Cadet Against Loud Protest.

Boy as a Cadet Against Loud Protest. Shattuc of Ohio yesterday named D. J. Bundy, colored lad of Cincinnati, to a cadetship at Annapolis. He has been urged to withdraw the name, but says he will stand by the appointment There have been some murmurs of dis approval from the naval academy and threats of the students to resign.
 "The boy earned the appointment fairly" said General Shattuc to-day. There was a competitive examination and two colored lads, one of them Bun dy, outstripped their competitors. One of them, however, proved to be over twenty and was therefore disbarred. I told them the competition was open to every eligible boy in my district. I sent his name to the secretary of the navy, and he will be appointed. I have received no communications from the students at Annapolis on the subject, but several congressman told me that it was an unwritten law not to allow a colored boy at Annapolis. They told me that if I persisted it would break up the school; that other students would resign.
 "'Let them resign and be damned I replied. That boy earned his appoint ment fairly, and I'm going to see that he goes to Annapolis and receive a fair treatment, if it is in my power to do so"

THE WORK OF A MANIAC
MURDERS THREE PERSONS IN 4
 RHODE ISLAND TOWN.

Then Set Fire to the House Containing tho
 Bodies in Order to Hide His Crime-Two
 of the Victims Were Husband and Wifc
 Tho M urderer Was in Their Employ
 He Has Been Arrested.
 Pascoag, R. l., April 14.-A horrible tragedy was enacted early this morn- ing at the home of Edward Reynolds on the Elisha Matthewson place near SweethilI, in the town of Oakland. ,
 Mrs. Reynolds, her husband and adopted daughter, Servilla, were bru- tally murdered and the house was then set afire, presumably to cover the crime. Martin Mowry, the hired man employed by the Reynolds, who is un- doubtedly raving maniac, was found hiding in barn near Oakland, and at once placed under arrest.
 The neighbors were aroused by the fire. On reaching the house 1t was found securely fastened, with doors bolted and windows locked. An en- trance was effected and evidence of a murder discovered, with arson to hide the deed.
 Mrs. Reynolds body, mutilated and blood-stained, was taken from her bed by those who were first to enter the house. The flames from the part of the house found burning spread so quickly that a search for the other members of the family who were supposed to be there could not be made.
 Hours after, when the ruins of the house had sufficiently cooled, the char red bodies of Mir. Reynolds and the young girl were found. In the mean time the local and state police had been searching for Mowry, the hired man, and he was found in the barn, chattering unintelligibly.
 At 2 o'clock this afternoon Medical Examiner Wilcox, assisted by Drs. Granger and Capwell, made an autopsy on all three of the victims of the Pas- coag tragedy. The body of Mrs. Rev. holds was, however so badly disfigured as to be unrecognizable, while that of Miss Reynolds was identified by the head
 The doctors made a careful examina- tion of the body of Mrs. Reynolds and found deep wound in the head, made by the butt end of a musket while there were no less than seven bayonet wounds in the body. The musket and bayonet were both found in the ruins of the fire and are known to be the proper ty of Mowry. The bayonet fitted the wounds exactly.
 The entire left side of the body of Mrs. Reynolds was shattered, all the ribs being broken while there were bruises on other parts of the body.
 Immediately the autopsy had been completed Judge Spear of the district court signed a warrant for the arrest of Mowry and he was at once brought into court for arraignment. After the customary proceedings Mowry was charged with the murder of all three persons and upon advice of his counsel, F. J. Lovejoy, he pleaded not guilty. He was then committed to jail without bail to await the preliminary trial on April l 21
 1 The only thing like a confession made cox told him he proposed to etherize him and then abstract the bullet which is now in his head. Mowry said: 'I won't be etherized. You think If you get me that way I will tell my whole story"
 The doctors expect to have to usa force in administering ether. |

Those Who Bid for tho Work-Pump on
 Green-Premium for Bridge Builder.

Green-Premium for Bridge Builder.
 The board of public works has de- cided to offer a premium to the sue cessful bidder for the contract for the construction of the Mill river bridge as an inducement to finish the work without delay.
 Civil Engineer Kelly was instructed last evening to cause to be inserted in the specification for the bids a clause which provides that the contractor shal forfeit $40 per day for each day the work is delayed after the contract time for it's completion, and also providing that for each day that intervenes be- tween completion and acceptance of the bridge and the contract date, the city shall pay the contractor $40. This proposition is made on the part of the city because of the disastrous results that the business of that vicinity would be subjected to if there was an undue delay in the completion of the bridge.
 The board ordered the pump on the green to be replaced with one of mod ern design. The old pump has given much trouble of late
 The bids were opened for the con- struction of sewers and in each instance the contract was awarded to the lowest bidder:

THE TRANsYAAI RAIDERS.
Mrs. Hammond in Her Book Scores Dr.
 Jameson.

!
 Jameson.
 London, April 14.-The book written by Mrs. John Hays Hammond, wife of the American engineer who was mem- Der of the Johannesburg reform conn mittee and who was sentenced to death and subsequently, liberated upon the payment of heavy fine, was published to-day It is entitled "A Woman's Part in the Revolution and consists main- ly of personal experiences. It touches only lightly on the causes of the revolu- tion at Johannesburg, in defence to tho silence imposed upon her husband when he was liberated from prison. Mrs. Hammond confirms the statements that pr. Jameson was not to start to the as- sistance of the people of Johannesburg until directly summoned by the leaders there.
 With reference to the finding of the letter of invitation in Dr. Jameson's saddlebag, after his capture by the Boers at Krugersdorp, Mrs. Hammond asks:
 "Why, in the name of all that is dis erect and honorable, did he not eat it?"
 There Is graphic account by Mrs. Hammond of her visit to President Kruger when the gallows was prepared for the execution of her husband and his companions. With reference to the denial by MT. Joseph Chamberlain, the secretary of state for the colonies that Great Britain had promised protection to the reformers, Mrs. Hammond says she would never make her sons states men, but would rather set them plough ing.
