Mrs. Mckinley Still Lives.

CANTON, December 7.-President
Mckinley arrived on special train
over the Pennsylvania road at 500
this morning. His face sshowed signs
of hope and comfort when he was told
his mother was still alive and resting
in sweet repose. He was rapidly driv-
en- to her residence.
President Mckinley had the sati =
faction of being recognized by his dying
mother. When he advanced to her
bedside Miss Helen Mckinley said: ::
Mother, here are William and Ada"
AS the words fell ON her ears her
eyes opened and she gazed up at him.
AS he knelt by her bed she extended
one arm and placed it around his neck
as she had SO often done in days gone
by. AS she drew him down to her with
almost imperceptible pressure the
president leaned over and kissed her.
: fter gazing at him fondly for a mo-
ment, she recognized his wife by q
pressure of her hand. The doctors now
assert positively that she can not live
more than tOdav,

The Insurgent Forces Won a
Victory at Guisa.
HAVANA is STARTLED.
General CalixtO Garcia BOmbarded and
Laid Waste q Spanish Stronghold
and is Now Marching on BayamO
With Large Force.

HAVANA. December THE sensa-
tiOn in Havana is over the news that
the town of Guisa WAS bonn barded with
dynamite yesterday and destroyed.
Gen Garcia with a large body of in
surgents has tanned victory shat is
as great as that of Victoria de las u
mas. The Spaniards had 200 killed
and the column under Col Tovar was
put to fight. General Garcia has
issued manifesto declaring The ex-
pulsion of the Span ards from the
towns has already begun. Bayamo is
in Imminent danger from an attack
from the insurRent-; much apprehen
sion for it's safety prevails here"
General Blanco has cabled to Man
zanillo, ordering a column to start i'm
mediately for Bayamo, announcing
that he will send other reinforcements.
The Spanish officially admit the cap
ture and destruction of Guisa by the
insurgents, but claim the place was
occupied later by the Spanish forces.
This is probably true, as Garcia, after
laying the place in waste, abandoned
It. The insurgents are accused in an
official report of having "Committed
more barbarities in Guisa than in
Victoria de las Lunas.'

Mexican Freight Rates.

ST LOUIS, December 7.-Messrs. j.
N. Faithorn, J. N. Hannaford and L.
F. Day, the arbitrators appointed to
settle the dispute over the Mexican
freight rates are hearing oral argu-
ments today at the Planters hotel
The parties to the trouble are, on the
one hand, the rail and water lines from
the central part of the United States
to Mexico, and on the other, the all
rail lines. The rail and water lines
always have claimed a considera
differential, which makes a more low
er rate than via the all rail routes.
This has brought about the trouble.

Jimmy Barry Kills His Man.

LONDON. December 7.-Walter
Croot the English bantam weight, died
at $50 this morning. Croot was
knocked oct in twenty round fight by
Jimmy Barry, of Chicago, last night
at the National Sporting club. TIE
blow was terrific right-hander.
Croot did not recover in the usual time
and all directly interested became
alarmed. Croot WAS conveyed to q
private room of the club house and doc
tors summoned, who worked unc =asing-
ly to revive the young fighter, but all
efforts were fl uitless, and Croot died
without regaining consciousness.
-Physic ans give the opinion that Croot
had a weak heart and this was the di-
rect cause of death. Barry and Croot
fought for the bantam weight cham
piOnship of the world.
Barry was deeply distressed at the
death of Croot and at once surrendered
himself to the police after bearing of
Croot's death and was formally charged
with manslaughter.
