FENCED IN THE TRACK.
Vain Effort of q Kansas Farmer TO
Keep the Railroad Off His
Lands,

LEAVENWORTH,K ANs., Aug. 9.-The
Sheriff of Leavenworth County, acting on
an order issued by Judge Myers a Popu-
list, this afternoon fenced in part of the
Leavenworth, Topeka and Southwestern
Railroad track, and tried 10 prevent trains
from passing over the road. The writ OF
custer was issued to place James Stone in
possession of eighteen acres of land used
as road bed by the Southwestern in pass
ing through the farm of Mr.. Stone south
west of this city. The Southwestern road
was abandoned for two months in the
spring OF 1892, while there was some trou-
BILE between the Santa Fe and Union Pa
cifc systems as to which should operate
it. Stone brought suit, and asserted that
The land had reverted to him by the tenn
porary Abandonment of the road. and
Judge Myers rendered decision restor-
ing the land to him.
To-day the Sheriff notified the South
western officials that they could not run
over the road and fenced it up. The Post
master was notified not TO send out mail.
Shortly before train time force of thirty
railroad men cut and tore the fence down
and the train went through in spite of the
efforts OF county officials. Acting on in
structions from the head officials of the
road Agent Chaplain this evening swore
out a warrant for Stones arrest, charging
him with obstructing the mails. Stone

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Aug. O.
What is believed to be the advance guard
OF the expedition that will 90 north next
spring to the Copper River country to
wrest the untold wealth known to exist
there from the Indians, who have for
many years zealously guarded it, is now
being Quilted here by Henry V. Bailey,
the well-known transfer man, who will
leave at no distant date in the Norman
Sunde, a six ty-ton craft. To partly paw
the expenses of the trip it is the intention
70 carry cargo of merchandise to Cooks
Inlet, from where the vessel will immedi-
alely return, bringing, it is hoped, ca rgo
ofgoIddust and nuggets, the fruits OF the
lasayear's work on the inlet. On the trip
down the mouth of the Copper River will
be Visited for the purpose of making
preliminary inspection of the locality, to
be taken advantage OF when the expedi-

wounding several others, but surrendered
after half an hours fighting. The insur-
gents were in the town from P. NJ to
A. M, and sacked all the stores, securing
large amount of clothing, drugs and
money. All the Spanish guerrilla forces
in town joined the insurgents WITH their
arms and ammunition.
General Montaris, commanding 1000
Spanish soldiers, arrived at Esperanza one
day after the insurgents had left the town.
The Spanish general was very angry over
the news, and disarmed all the guerrilla
forces and arrested few Spanish soldiers
who remained in the town. Then he set
fire to all the houses owned by Cubans
and shot several Cuban residents.
While this was occurring the towns OF
Encrucijada, Cruces and Placetas, also IN
Santa Clara province, were raided by in
surgent forces under Cayito Alvarez. The
garrisons made no resistance, allowing the
Cubans to take away everything they de-
sired.

the insurgent army who surrendered to
the Spaniards in the province of Pinar
del Rio, and who was pardoned and set
free by Weyler, has been murdered by

home at Cerro, in Havana province, and,
taking him TO the outskirts OF Jesus del
Monte, ordered his men to shoot him.

LIVED As A CAPITALIST.
Revelation Regarding the Chief of a
Reggars' league Which Mutt
lated Children.

ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA Aug. O.
Evidence at the trial OF the men arrested
for mutilating young girl in order that
her condition would excite pity and there
by induce benevolent people to give money
to her, has revealed that the principal
prisoner was the chief of q beggars' league
which operated in the south of Russia
with great success. He founded an estab.
lishment for the purpose of making chill
dren cripples and received IS per cent of
the money and other things given to them
when they were sent out to beg. He pos
sessed a large house at Kieff, where
he lived in luxury and was regarded as a
benevolent capitalist.
The evidence showed that the girl stolen
from h er parents was gagged and taken to
the cellar where her abductors discussed
the manner in which they would mutilate
her. Finally they smeared her face with
pitch, which was then set on fire. The
girls face was terribly burned, and she
was made blind. Then the torturers dis
iointed her fingers, so her hands were
practically useless, and cut her feet so
that she could not walk without limp!ng.
The girl said that while in the cellar she
saw The corpses of two boys VINO pre-
sumabiy had succumbed to the torture s
inflicted upon them

HAVANA AGAIN. ATTACKED.
Great Effort to Disiodge the cubans
Results Disastrousy-Seizure
of Schooner.

HAVANA, CUBA, Aug. 9.-The insur-
gents have again attacked Havana. Sat
urday the Spaniards made great effort
to dlslodge the insurgent leader, Juan
Delgado, from the neigh boring town of
Arroyo Apollo.
The Spaniards were commanded by
Colonel Paglieri, formerly Chief of Police
of Havana, but were badly routed and
Paglieri was wounded. Most OF his men
fed TO the capital. The Spanish wounded
were brought to the city at M idnight to
conceal the defeat.
Colonel Andres Hernandez has notified
the Spanish authorities that alter fifteen
days the suburb of arianso will be de-
stroyed. He warns the Spaniards to with.
draw all nom com batants.
BRIDGEPORT, CONN, Aug. 9.-The
Blanche Morgan, small two-masted
schooner of fifty tons burden, hailing from
Staten Island, is tied up at Millers wharf
in charge of the Custom house officials
On board are Captain Wason, her owner
and master, his son and a crew of two
men. Rev. Mr.. Marsden, Baptist clergy
man of Port Richmond, Staten Island, is
also aboard. Her cargo is 200 cases of
cartridges.
The seizure was brought about by the
reported leaving of Cuuan flibuslering
expedition from this city.
Captain Wason, his crew and the clergy
man are suspected as Cuban sympa-
thizers, but the cases of cartridges are
consigned to the engineers depar ment
at Governors Island and are for tae United
States Government.
The Blanche Morgan is practically a
Government boat, and has been seized by
orders from the Treasury Department.
The ship has been carrying cartridges
from New Hav n and this city for years.

SLASHING FREIGHT RATES.
Texas Merchants Getting the Benefit
of a Rattle Between Transport
tation Companies.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Aug. 9.-More buy
ers representing Texas merchants were in
this city to-day than were here in the
whole month of August last year. Their
orders filled the commercial dir. The
cause is a freight-rate war between the
Lone Star line on one side and the Nal
lory and Morgan lines on the other. The
Morgan line is owned by the Southern
Pacific, and plies between this port and
New Orleans. 1t ships freight for Calves
ton from New Orleans on the railroad by
way of Houston. Rates have been given
at ruinous rates. But to-day the jubila-
ton among the shippers increased when
it was announced by the Morgan line
through the Southern Pacific road that all
classes of freight would be taken to Gal
weston at the absurdly low rate of 2 cents
100 pounds The Mallory line will
doubtless reduce its rate TO cents to-
mnrrOM.

BOSTON, MASS, Aug. 9.-To-day it was
learned that the Inauguration of the
movement against President Andrews of
Brown University by Hon. Joseph H
Walker had something behind it. A
member Of the corporation whose action
at the meeting in September will I'M
doubtedly be most prominent has taken
Mr.. Walker to task, but his name is with
held until the real fight in the board is at
hand. Mr.. Walker came to the last meet
ing, in June, for purpose, he says. He
had an old grudge against President
Andrews.
1t came about in this way. At the time
of the Wilson tariff bill Walker wrote to
Professor Gardner of Brown and request
ed him to write his views upon the effects
Of protection and of free trade Professor
Gardner evidently incurred the displeas-
ure OF Mr.. Walker, for the letter contained
more about free trade than protection.
Mr. Walker wrote back to Professor Gard
ner indicating his desire for favorable
view of protection.
Professor Gardner informed Mr.. Walker
that he did not think he could come any
nearer suiting his views. Mr.. Walker
tnOuSnL lie nau q TlgnI 10 uemanu what
he requested and he appealed TO Presid
Andrews, charging Professor Gardner
with discourtesy. President Andrews
turned the matter over TO the executive
committee of the corporation board. He
wanted Mr.. Walker to come forward and
present his case, which was kept open for
months, but he never appeared. 1t is
learned that he had an idea that President
Andrews should have cashiered Professor
Gardner. 1t is an old grudge and the az
fair will be fully and completely opened
up and ventilated at the meeting.
