A BULL RETALlATES.
The Unexpected Wind Up of La -can
Fiesta De Yuma.

Yuma, Ariz., April l5.-La Gran
Fiesta de Yuma wound up last night
with Wild West sports End Spanish
bullfghts, which constituted n CROW IL
ing feature of the five days revelly.
The feature OF the show which drew
the crowds was the Spanish bullight,
headed by the renowned fighter, Cap
tain Carlos Garcia, from Juarez, Mex
leo.
Captain Garcia and his troop of torea-
doris and picadors, including La Car
lota, female bullfighter, displayed
wonderful skill in fighting the fierce
animals, but magnificent bull proved
himself invincible, and before he was
dispatched in the third fight in which
he was used, he caught Captain Garcia
and ripped open his jaw. His wounds
may prove fatal
After goring and badly mutilating
Garcia, the bull, stung to frenzy by the
torments of toreadors and picadors,
charged full at the bull pen, and though
it was strongly built, after several des-
perate attempts, he smashed a panel OF
the pen and charged into the grounds
which were filled with people. Many
were injured. The roulette table,
stacked with gold and silver coins, was
tossed high in the air and the money
scattered in the dust. Straight through
the main street of Yuma went the
bull, but fortunately no more people
were in the way. After long chase
and hard work the bull was captured

WOULD TAKE THE PLANTS.


Washington, April 10. - Senator
Chandler today introduced bills EN-
towering the secretary OF the navy to
take possession of the armor plants of
the Bethlehem and Carnegie COM
panies, There are two bills, one ap-
plying to each institution, the provi-
sions being the same in both. Senator
Chandler says it is contemplated that
)nly the Bethlehem works be taken,
unless in case of necessity.
The principal section of the bill au-
thorizes and directs the secretary of the
navy to forthwith take possession OF
such land, buildings and machinery as
constitute the armor-making plants of
the two companies. He is directed to
"hold and use such land, buildings and
machinery for period of time sufficient
| to enable said secretary to manufacture
at the works embraced in said plant
or such proportion as he may see fit

tion of the battleships Alabama, 1lli-
nois and Wisconsin, now in process of
construction for the United States, and
thereafter to return the possession of
said land, buildings and machinery to
said Bethlehem Iron Company to he
held by said company as its own prop
erty as if the taking hereby authorized
had not been made, and the aforesaid
taking, holding and using of said land,

GRANT MONUMENT.
Work on the Structure Is Practically
Completed.

New York, April 19.-Speculators
are actively canvassing the houses
along the line of the Grant monument
parade, endeavoring to secure window
privileges. In many cases entire
houses have been secured and permits
for erecting stands in front of them OBJ
tanned. 1t is estimated that the stands
to be constructed will seat at least 10,
900 persons.
The Grant monument is now COM
pleted, the only work remaining to be
done being the polishing of the marble
and the brushing of the bronze doors.
The armored steel case containing Gen.
eral Grants body will be opened sc
that the coffin can be taken out.
1t is officially denied that any o.
the rivets which fastened the covering
of this casing were sold by workmen al
souvenirs.
The rivets were not removed, as the
workmen simply drilled through the
top of them. which was all that was
necessary to open the case. The stee
case is to be disposed of at the will o
Colonel Grant. 1t will probably bt
destroyed.

ACCIDENT ON THE YANTIC.
A Gunner Blown to Atoms and Tw
Others Injured.

New York, April 19.-The Herald
publishes the following special CORE
spondence from Montevideo, Urugay:
When the United States steamship
Yantic was at stationary target prac-
tice at Chico bank, La Plata river,
about seventy-fve miles southwest
from Montevideo, sckening accident
occurred. The required shots had
been fired from the 6O-pound rifle on
the forecastle and the eight-inch rifle
forward. Three shots had heen fired
from the nine-inch smoothbCre muzzle-
loader, and only one more shot was re-
quired from this last gun to complete
very successful target practice.
The nine-inch gun was then loaded.
On account OF the narrowness of the
Yantic and the smallness of the gun
ports it is necessary for man loading
the gun to lean out of the port, clasp
ing one arm about the muzzle of the
with the other arm, partly exposing
his body in front of the muzzle. The
bore had been sponged out with the
sponge, freshly dampened in the divi-
sion tub, and the charge of eleven
pounds of black powder had been ram
med home by P. Murphy, seaman,
assisted by o. Gormansen, another sea-
man, on the other side. 9. Hayden
the coxswain, was holding his thumt
on the vent in order to prevent the ali
from reaching any lighted fragments o
the previously exploded cartridge tina
might have remained in the chamber
Apparently none OF the precaution
extinguished the burning bits of cloth
for the cartridge exploded while Muir
ply was withdrawing the rammer an
he was blown off the boat. No trac
of him was found, although boats wer
instantly lowered and search made
Gormansen lost an eye and was SER
ously injured and one arm was broker
'Hayden's hand was badly burned, an
the upper half of the port was shat
tered. After the accident the Yanti
returned to Montevideo.

THE FLOOD DISTRICT.
A Serious Break Has Occurred in the
Louisiana LeVec.

Vicksburg, Miss, April l9.-The
levee at Biggs, in Madison parish, four
and half miles below Delta, La,
broke at 10 o'clock tonight. The GREY
asse was 120 feet wide twenty minutes
after it gave way. Delta is directly
opposite Vicksburg. The Queen x
Crescent route train dispatchers' office
reported the break at u o'clock to-
night. The news was sent to Delta at
once, the operator being reused out OF
bed, and the message of warming sent
along the line of the railroad. The
levee is great one, and has been en-
gaging special attention of the authori
ties for weeks. Several hundred con-
victs have been employed upon it in ad-
dition to other laborers, and so greatly
had it been strengthened that only to
day the belief was confidently expressed
by men living beside it that it would
hold. The disaster will be a great one.
The situation along the Louisiana
levees across the river for fifty miles
above and below this city dwarfs every
other feature of the flood problem into
temporary insigniticance. The rise
shows no sign OF diminution, and the
remaining levees are actually in danger
of being overtopped by the water now
pouring out of the Yazoo basin in {
sheet twenty-five miles wide for dis
tance of ten miles opposite this city.
In spite of the evident danger and o
the repeated warnings OF the weathe
bureau, very few persons are removing
stock to the highlands, though lO'
head of mules were brought to this cit.
tonight from Sparta plantation, il
Louisiana, ten miles above here. A
several points the water has reache'
, the top of the levee and is being hell
} back by sacks and lumber.

THE WOOL SCHEDULE.
Western Senators Combine to Secure
Important Changes-

Washington, April 10. - Western
senators, after several conferences, have
reached an agreement to stand together
for important changes in the wool
schedule OF the Dingley bill The sem
ators most prominently identified with
the movement are Messrs. Mantle, Car
ter, Shoup, Warren and Burrows. They
have not only agreed upon line of
amendments, but have decided to insist
on their inclusion in the bill. The
meetings have also been attended by
many prominent woolgrowers.
The proposed amendments are direct
ed mainly to closing the many loop
holes for evasion and fraud which wool
men agree abound in the Dingley law,
and were also found in the Mckinley
law. An amendment was agreed upon
providing that an additional duty OF 4
cents a pound should be levied upon
skirted wools and woods, as imported ir
1890, and prior to that time.
The principal change, however, to bt
proposed is upon wool and camel's-hail
of the third-class. The Dingley bill
proposes an ad valorem duty of 32 anc
5S per cent, respectively, upon woods o
this class valued under and over Il
cents per pound. 1t is proposed nov
to strike out the Dlngley bill clause
relating to third-class woods and to in
sert instead the following:
son woods of the third-class an'
camels'- hair of the third-class, tn,
value of which shall be cents or les
per pound in the wool markets of tn
United States, the duty shall be cent
per pound, and on all wool and hair q
this class, the value OF which shall no
exceed cents per pound in the gen
eral markets of the United States, ther
shall be an additional duty of one-hal
OF l cent per pound for each increas
of l cent per pound in the value there

SPAIN FORCED TO GIVE UP.
Withdrawal of Her Army From Cuba
VIII Soon Begin.

Washington, April 19.-According
to information received from trust
worthy sources here the withdrawal Of
at least part of the great army Spain
has maintained for several years in the
island of Cuba will begin when the
rainy season sets in within few days.
The initial movement will be the de-
parture OF 10, 900 Spanish troops from
Havana for Spain, and within short
time 30, 600 troops, it is understood, will
withdraw. The Spanish insist posi-
lively that it means only that little or
nothing of the insurrection remains;
that Gomez has only about fifty or 100
followers, and to watch these under con-
ditions in which the campaign has been
necessarily conducted, a few thousand
are quite as effective as the 10000
men now in Cuba.
The Cuban contingent, on the Other
hand, insists that the Spanish financial
resources are exhausted and the troops
are to be withdrawn because of lack o.
money to keep them in service.

Reading, Penn, April 19.-Father
Phillip Berseford, rector of st. Jo-
seph's (Catholic) parish, was found
dead in bed in the parsonage adjoining
the editice this morning. Death was
due to suffocation from illuminating
gas. His age was about 80 years. The
gas was discovere pouring from jet
partly turned off. The supposition is
that death was the result of an acci-
dent.

TEST OF STRENGTH.
Republicans Refer Resolution of Vests
by II Majority of One.


Washington April 16.-The first .
skirmish ON the tariff occurred in the .
senate today. 1t was followed by Il vote .
which served rs test of strength OF
the various elements OF the senate. The
vote occurred on motion by Morrill,,
chairman of the committee on finance,
to refer resolution by Vest, one OF the
Democratic leaders OF that committee.
This made an issue between the two
leading elements of the senate. Aside
from this, the resolution was in the
nature of criticism of Secretary Gage,
and declared illegal his recent order rel
ative to goods imported after April 10,
when, according to the retroactive
clause of the pending Dingley bill, the
new tariff rates are to apply. Morrill's
motion prevailed by the close vote of
"a to 90.
The affirmative vote was given by
Republicans, including one silver Re-
publican, Mantle. The negative vote
was made up of Democrats, Populists,
one northumberland two
silver Republicans-Pettigrew and Can
non.
Prior to the vote breezy discussion
occurred on several phases of the tariff.
Morgan endeavored to have time
fixed for the final vote on his Cuban
resolution.
Hoar objected, and Morgan gave
notice that the resolution would be
pressed until vote was reached.
The Indian appropriation bill was
J then taken up. 1t afforded German an
opportunity to speak of the disorganized
condition of the senate The president
/ had stated in his inaugural address that
| the condition of the country required
the strictest governmental economy.
And yet it was proposed to pass appro'
priation bills aggregating more than
$4,000, 900 without consideration of 8
duly organized committee of the senate
e German said that careful considera
ton of these bills might lead to theil
reduction by $40, 100000.
a Appropriations were piling up, in
p creasing and doubling within the las
i twelve years, until the stupendous fig
r.. ure of 81 1000, 900, 900 for single con
h gress had been reached. 1t was tim
;. to call halt in these vast expendi
" lures. There should be limitation O
Il expenditures on the navy and on fortifi
4 cations, now that an era OF peace ap
a peared to be at hand. 1t was time
v too, to limit the expenditures on river
and harbors.
f. German said the Democrats could d
\ no more than call the attention of sen
Il ators on the other side to the urgen
=, need of retrenchment. The senat
" should enter upon thorough and CON
N plete consideration of these appropria
4 tion bills, so that no charge OF extravf
m gance could be raised.
in The formal consideration of the In
dian bill was then proceeded with. TIL
,e committee amendment opening the Ur
IT, compahgre Indian reservation to publ
m entry led to long contest. A point I
vi order was made against it by Jones,
of Arkansas, and, pending the decision
n the senate, at P. M. went into e.
wv ecutive session, and soon after az
nc journed.
