UNREST AMONG MOSLEMS.

Russia in Asia In the Throes of a RelI.
gious InsurrecLion.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 10.-Through-
out Russia in Asia there is general un-
rest among the Moslems. 1t is attrib-
Uted to the exaggerated reports of the
Turkish victory over the great Greek
empire" which have spread through
the length and breadth of the CONT
nent.
The authorities even fear that the
revival of brigandage recently no
ticed in the caucasus is directed almost
solely against the government o fl
cials, and the unprecedented phenome-
non of Georgians displaying hostility
toward Armenians has become mani.
fest.
The danger is SO serious that a con-
ference of Caucasian governors has
been convoked to concert measures of
pacifcation.
Travellers in Central Asia report an
extraordinary ferment among the Mos
lens of different races. They are sink
ing their mutual animosities and de-
claring that they are first of all Mo
hamedans with the sultan as their
common chief.
1t is evident that the slightest pre-
text would suffice to bring about an
uprising and to plunge Russia into the
same sea of trouble as India.

FIVE PERSONS KILLED.
A Mother and Four Children Foully
Murdered
During the Absence of the Father-AVeng-
ers on the Trail of the Murderer, As
sisted by Trained RloOdhOunds-
LynchIng WIN Follow Capture.

WEssoN, Miss, Dec. 10.-One of the
most atrocious murders on record in
the south was committed Wednesday
night in Simpson county, this state,
20 miles from here. Brown Smith. q
farmer and son Of ex-Representat
Edward Smith. left his family at his
home in the country to go to town for
shopping purposes, thinking of no
possible danger for them. Yesterday
morning when he returned he found
his wife and five children weltering in
their blood and apparently all dead.
An alarm was raised Immediately
and the entire neighborhood turned
out to hunt for the perpetrator of the
foul and bloody crime.
There being no telegraphic connec-
tions details of the murder came in
slowly, but it is reported this evening
that one of the little girls, supposed
this morning to have been dead, has
revived enough to tell what she knew
of the occurrences. She said that she
knows the man who committed the
deed; that it was a negro and described
him.
A posse is now on the track of the
murderer, and there is great probable
ity that he will be apprehended, and
there can be but little doubt of him
meeting speedy justice when caught,
without waiting for the formality of a
court.
It is learned that Mrs. Smith and
the other four children are dead.
Sheriffs McNair of Lincoln and Thomp.
son of Copiah counties have gone to
the scene of the murder. each with q
pack of trained bloodhounds.

AN IMPORTANT BATTLE.

Formidable Demonstration to be Made
ON Havana-Strong Columns Ssnt Out to
Meet It-How the Cubans Treat Spanish
Agents-The Victory at Caimanera-Late
Fights in Pinar Del Rio Disastrous 60 the
Spaniards.
NEW YORK, Dec. IA dispatch to
the World from Havana says:
An important battle isexpected hour
ly. The insurgents have planned the
most formidable demonstration against
Havana for a year. Gen. Parridos has
started from this city with strong col
umns of troops to meet the Cubans.
Senior Canalejas, the confidential agent
of the Spanish government, went with
him to ascertain the real condition of
Havana province.
Gen. Roderguiez, with the combined
Cuban forces under Juan Delgado,
Nodarz and Rafael De Cardenas, is en-
camped on La Louisa plantation, near
Guira De Melina, about 90 miles south
of here, on the railway to Pinar Del
Rio. He has fully 1000 men, who are
well armed, and he is said to have a
Hotchkiss rapid-ire cannon. The
topography of the country about Guira
De Melina is favorable to the Spanish
troops.
Emilio Collazo hanged Antonio
Rivera and the negro Osman. They
went to Collazo with money and
proposition to lay down his arms, ac-
cepting autonomy. A note was pinned
on the breasts of the hanged men an
nouncing that anyone coming on
similar mission would meet like fate.
1t is reported authoritatively that on
Sunday the Spanish guerillas of
Caimanera, near Guantanamo, desert
ed to the insurgent leader, Rodriguez,
with $14. 900, SO, 900 cartridges and their
arms. They were supposed to have
numbered about so men.
Juan Delgado's party lately attacked
Santiago De Las Vegas, near Havana
The place had three Companies of
guerriIas and an infantry column.
There was hot fight for three hours.
The insurgents did not enter the town.
The Spanish losses were heavy; those
of the rebels are not known.
The latest reports of the late fights
in Pinar del Rio province show that
the Spanish loss was greater than
claimed. The dead or wounded include
one colonel, one major, seven captains,
IL subordinate officers and "a privates.
Most of the wounded will die. The
rebel loss was IA. The rebels really
used explosive bullets Their agents
here admit it.

TIE Cornerstone of shs Programme for
the AntiIIes-Spaaish Sovereignty is An
other-RecIprocity With the United States
the Third Item in the Programme-If
Honestly Undertaken Prosperity Might
be Restored.
New YORK. Dec. IG.-Home rule for
Cuba; for Spain, sovereignty; for the
United States, reciprocity. The pro-
gramme is defined. If carried out it
might insure years of tranquility and
prosperity to the Antilles, says the cor
respondent of the Tribune in Havana.
Until the first point is settled the
last one is necessarily inchoate. It
does form part of the public discussion
of autonomy. Only the few thought
full men who are looking beyond the
politics of to-day make it a
cardinal feature in the Cuban policy
of the future. Except for the
fall in sugar, it is cOntended by
thoughtful men that the abuses of
Spanish colonial misgovernment in the
island would have been endured until
corrected. In prosperity the weight of
corrupt and oppressive administration
did not seem to bear SO heavily. In
adversely it became unbearable. With
concessions from Spain which promises
to give Cuba its own government, the
economic conditions again become
prominent, and commercial relations
with the United States are the basis of
all the plans for improvement.
A wide gulf must be bridged with
autonomy before force can be given to
these ideas. The gulf may never be
SPAWNED, because support at either end
by Spanish partisans and Cuban revo-
lutionists is wanting; yet the sugges-
ton of reciprocity is significant of the
future relations of the island to the
United States. The Cubans who de-
clare the revolution must go on
until independence is won have
theories of their own. One of these
is that broader and more stable reci-
procity will be secured to the United
States if it treats with the Cuban re-
public instead of with a colony of
Spain. That is their answer.
1t should not be understood that the
represe tatives of the Spanish cabinet
in Cuba are concerning themselves
with these matters of economy. 1t is
the men of theories who are doing
that.
Capt.-Gen. Blanco has too much i'm
mediate work to look SO far ahead. To
Rndo what Weyler had done in malad-
ministration is a huge task in itself.
Some thing of this labor has been &C
compIished in administrative offices,
but this has little bearing on the
main question. The places are filed by
men vino are in sympathy with the gov
eminent, and who will Loyalty help 60
carry out its plans. These are details.
More important is the rapproachment
Of the political parties. The Madrid
correspondents of the Havana journals
describe the Sagasta ministry as in the
enjoyment of its honeymoon.

a Travelling Evangelist Threatened by an
Angry Mob.
FLORENCE, Kas., Dec. 11.-Traveling
Evangelist E. l.. Martin was, on Thurs
day, given hours to leave town, and for
a time it looked as though he would
be tarred and feathered. At a pre-
vious meeting the preacher had SLAM
dered many of the town officials, prom
inent men, and had attacked the school
children.
An indignation meeting, called dur
ing the day, rebuked his utterances
and requested him to leave town.
Martin became defiant and held his
usual revival meeting in the evening.
A crowd of men gathered outside to
await his exit, but Martin defeated
them by holding an all-night prayer
meeting, 20 or 80 of his adherents re-
naming with him. He still held the
fort yesterday, but may be roughly
treated.

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BAY.
SPANS MiIIion-DoIIar Floating Dock Sunk
in Havana Harbor.

HAVANA, Dec. 1O.-The famous float
ng dock, built in England at great ex-
pense, and brought here really for use
in the event of war with the United
States, floats no longer. Monday it
began to disappear gradually and
slowly, and is now beneath the wa
ters of the bay. Its disappearance
has caused much confusion in the
naval department, and amusement
elsewhere. The Spanish engineers, to
conceal their ignorance of the causes
of the mishap, charged fraud against
the English builders of the ponderous
affair. Others seem to think it was
scuttled by Cuban conspirators. Two
hundred men are at work trying to
raise it, but thus far have accomplished
nothing. The building and transpor-
tation of the dock cost the Spanish gov
eminent 81, 00O.O 900.
