SALESBURYS STUBBORN STAND.
Causes the Deadlock That Prevails in
the Peace Negotiations at
ConstantinopIe.

LONDON, ENG, Aug. 1S.-The deadlock
that has prevailed for the last few days in
the peace negotiations at Constantinople
is owing to Great Britain alone of all the
powers opposing the proposal that
Turkey shall occupy the towns of Trika-
hala, Larissa and Vola, in Thessaly. pend
ing the payment of indemnity by Greece.
This has produced situation which, ac-
cording to views held in certain quarters,
will involve the breaking up of the con.
cert of the powers.
Salisbury contends that Greece is in
capable OF finding money to indemnify
and consequently Turkish occupation
would be permanent. This would be a
violation OF the agreement of 1881 as well
as OF the principles upon which the nego-
tiations are proceeding. Even Fran CO
and Italy are opposed to the stand taken
by Great Britain, they taking the view
that 1t would be reasonable to allow Tur-
key to evacuate Trikahala, Larissa and
Voio, one by one, as installments of the
indemnity are paid.
II would be most difficult to forecast the
outcome. The gloomlesL views are held
in some quarters. Great Britain's atti-
tude has 1nquestion ably intensified Otto
man hostility to herself, and suggestions
are made that Mohammedan troubles on
the Indian frontier are connected there

catafalque seven feet high, covered with

Hts Forces Said to Have Entered Santa
Clara City.
HAVANA, CUBA, Aug. 1S.-It is re-
ported at late hour that the forces of
Gomez have entered Santa Clara City.
The important town of Trinidad, Santa
Clara province, has been raided by the in
surgents, who plundered all the principal
stores, securing large amount OF pro-
visions and ammunition. The Spanish
garrison made stubborn resistance, but
could not prevent the Cubans entering the
town.
From Santo, Santiago de Cuba province,
Colonel Vara del Rey reports a hard en-
gagement between his column and sew
eral Cuban bands. The losses were heavy
on both sides, but the Spanish claim a
victory.
Near Santa Clara City, at Purial and
Machita, large convoy. escorted by q
battalion of Spanish troops, fell into the
hands of the insurgents after severe
fight.
Around Havana the situation is the
same as during the past few weeks.
At Iona del Grillo General Quintin
Banderas has issued proclaim alton call
ing on the colored people of the province
of Havana to join the insurgents instead
of serving Spain, as they are now doing.
General Castillo has defeated at San
tiago de Las Vegas, few miles from the
capital, several guerrilla forces sent
against him by Weyler.
Weyler will probably not move from
Havana until the political situation is
decided at Madrid.
The Mayor OF Havana, Senior Miguel
Dlaz, had noisy quarrel yesterda ay with
Weyler over some municipal affairs. 1t
is said the Mayor will resign. Public
opinion is in his favor.

TERRIBLE TALE
OF STARVATION
Cuban Town Deprived
of Food by Order
of Weyler.
Pitiful Pleas of the Women
and Children to Ears
That Are Deaf.
In Scores of Murders and
Suicides.

HAVANA, CUBA (via Key West Fla.),
Aug. 1S.-The cCrate of the town of Es-
peranza, Santa Clara province, has sent
the following dispatch to the Bishop of
Havana:
Since the lst of July all the stores and mar.
kets of this town have been closed by order OF
the captain-general. In Gods name l beg
your ExceIlency to lmplore the captain-gen-
eral 10 withdraw the order, otherwise all the
inhabitants will die of hunger. Many have
died already. The captain-general in tends to
enforce his decree until the Notifications are
finished around the town, and am informed
that the works will not be finished for twenty
days.
At the same time the Mayor of the town
of Esperanza wrote the Governor OF the
province as follows:
The whole population sis starving. The re-
sources of the municipality are exhausted.
Hundreds of women and children cry despair
ingly for food and hundred have died of hun
ger. I do not know what to do under these
horrible circumstances. The order of Weyler
closing the markets ana forbidding the sale of
all kinds of 7ictuals / cannot disobey. Mean
while, must l contemplate with Indifference
the spectacle OF the people of La Esperanza
dying of the direst OF calamities. l beg from
your E4CelIeuCy d hAs"oI. we udfe
no time to spare If we are unwilling that
every body should perish here.
La EsperanZa is town of about 5000
inha bitants. 1t has been raided several
time. by the insurgents recently, and to
chastise the inhabitants for not defending
the town Weyler issued his barbarous de-
cree, under the preteIt that the stores and
markets attracted the insurgents. What
is more cruel still is the fact that strong
Spanish column is encamped around the
town and the Spanish soldiers are well
provisioned with food, but stringent or
ders are given to them, under the severest
penalties, not to give any help to the in
habitants.
The most terrible tales of misery come
from the town. Mothers kneeling before
the soldiers with their children in their
arms vainly beseech the heartless Spani-
ards for little food. Men who attempt
to break through the Spanish lines in
order to get into the country either to
procure food or to join the insurgents are
inn ediately shot. In many cases they
have tried to force passage through in
stead of getting away by stealth, but
being unarmec the Spanish easily over
power and slay them.
The only hope OF the population is that
the insurgents may come and rescue
them, but there is very slight prospect
of this The insurgent bands which raided
the town in July have moved now to the
west, invading the province of Matanzas,
and the Cuban forces near La Esperanza
at this time are too few to cope with the
5000 Spanish soldiers sent to the town bv
Wevle-. The latest report from La Es-
peranza says that a sort of epidemic of
madness has been prod duced by hunger
among the inhabitants and that they kill
each other and commit suicide by scores

I0WA'S REPUBLICAN, TICKET.
Railroad Influence Defeated BY the
Selection of q Gdrk Horse
for Governor,

CFDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Aug. 18-The
Republican State convention this after
noon nominated Leslie NJ. Shaw. hereto
lore unknown, from Denison County, for
Governor on the third ballot. Shaw made
a brilliant little speech, telling the dele
gates they could go home and tell the
people he had made no promises to any
man or set of men, and that he would
listen to advice, though he would not be
foolish enough to follow all the advice
he would get.
The other nominations were quickly
made, but one ballot being required for
each. The rest OF the ticket is: Lieu
gan Ga one-armed soldier); Supreme
Judge, Charles NJ. Warman of Daven port;
Railroad Commissioner Charles L. David
son OF Hull (renominated by acclamation);
superintendent of Public Instruction, d.
c. Barrett of Usage.
The platform re joices over the election
of Mckinley; commends Congress for its
promptness in enactipg tariff law, which
In specifically approved; indorses and re-
att1rms every part of the st. Louis plat
form, especially protection and sound
money; demands rigid economy in Ma
tional, State and municipal government
and a system of taxation that will jointly
distribute the burd MS of taxation and al
low no corporation or individual to escape
a just share; recognizes the principle
that the object of this Government is to
secure equal opportunity in life for all
and, therefore, demands that the power OF
com bination be held in check, and in
vokes party history as a guarantee that it
exists only to do justice among men, to
add dignity and comfort to the lives OF
the people and to make equality of oppor-
tunities reality.
Altogether the convention was q vic

Two Rooms Wrecked, Mes
senger Killed and Four
Persons Wounded
OTTOMAN BANK ALSO MAR
RCWLY ESCAPES.
Outrages Attributed to Arm enians,
but There Is Suspicious Haste
With the News.

LONDON, ENG, Aug. 1S.-A dispatch
from ConstantinopIe says that an explo-
sion took place to-day within the pre-
cincts of the Porte. Almost simulta-
neously with the explosion an Armenian
was arrested while trying to explode q
bomb in the Ottoman Bank.
Later dispatches say that the explosion
occurred in the department of the Grand
Vlzier. Two rooms were completely
wrecked and a Turkish messenger killed.
Four others in the rooms were wounded.
When the news of the outrage became
generally known there was much excite
ment. The authorities quickly attempted
TO discover the author of the outrage, but
their efforts were unsuccessful. Several
persons have been arrested on suspicion.
The Armenian who attempted to cause
the explosion at the Ottoman Bank is
named Garabet. He would in all likeli-
hood have succeeded in his object had it
not been for the vigilance of one of the
guards, who saw him as he was ABOUT to
throw a parcel, which was afterward
found to contain a bomb. The guard
sprang toward Garabet, and seiZing him
prevented him from throwing the missile.
Another unsuccessful attempt was m ade
during the afternoon to throw a bomb
outside of the Central police station in
Pera, known as Galata-Serai, the object
apparently being to destroy the guard.
The man who made the attempt saw be
was observed and fed. The guards started
in pursuit, whereupon he drew a revolver
and fred four Intellectual shots at them.
He was finally arrested and upon being
questioned said he was an Armenian.
These incidents caused a temporary
panic throughout the city, it being feared
that there was going to be a renewal OF
the recent disorders. Shopkeepers hur-
riedly closed their places of business,
barring and barr cading them to guard
against assault.
The infantry and cavalry patrols were
i'm mediateIy increased and q military
Gordon surrounded Constantinople proper.
The excitement did not last long, however,
the people soon learning the truth, where
upon the shops were reopened and busi-
ness was transacted as usual. Patrols
through the city are continued, though no
disorder is anticipated.
It is noteworthy that the foregoing re-
ports have been allowed to leave Con-
stantinople without being subjected to

MONEY P8Mc IN MEXICO.
CONSERVATION Caused by the AdYanc-

MEXICO CITY, MEX, Aug. 18.-The
premium on gold rose this morning to
140 per cent and this afternoon it was 143
TO 145. CONSERVATION prevails and no one
seems 10 know what may happen.
Exchadge has reached the highest point
ever known in this republic and will un-
doubtediy steadily rise, as there is no evil
dence that the downward tendency OF
silver will be checked. Nobody here,
however, doubts the ability of the Govern
ment to meet the interest on her foreign
debt in gold. even under worse conditions
than at present at least for some time to
come. fluctuations of exchange are do
ing more harm than the fall in silver.
II the premium should go to $50 per cent
and stay there a basis would exist on
which to transact business, but as it is
now merchants do not know what to do,
as they have no stable medi um of ex-
change.

there is partial insurance. Captain
Whitman is well known in this city as a
most capable navigator, and has been in
command of the Pecker for the past two
years Many recall The rumors of trouble
between Captain Whitman and Engineer
Mitchell before the schooner sailed. The
story is that the schooner was load

decided he did not want to make the voy-
age. Finally, when the vessel was almost
ready to be towed out, the engineer dis
abled the engine, thinking that this
would result in getting a new man and
his release. Captain Whitman would not
let Mitchell go, but got the engine repair

BOSTON, MASS. Aug. 18.-A sea tragedy
which in all it's horrible details will proba-
bly, equal the famous Herbert Fuller
butchery has been enacted on board an
other Boston vessel. What adds to the
remarkable coincidence is the fact that
tn is vessel was owned by the same firm,
loaded at the same wharf, with a similar
cargo, and sailed for The same port, in the
same month and almost on the same day
of the month year after the sailing OF
the barke tine Herbert Fuller. and as in
the latter case, the captain and mate were
murdered.
The terrible affair, which resulted in the
violent deaths of Captain j. W. Whitman
and Nj ate William Saunders, occurred or
the three mas ted schooner Olive Pecker,
owned by J. P. Ellicott & Co. The tragedy
occurred in South American waters. On
Sunday, June 27, she sailed from this port
with a cargo of lum ber, for Buenos Ayres,
Argentina.
The intelligence of the murders and the
destruct ion of the vessel by fire was cabled
to this city this morning by bankin g
firm in Buenos Ayres. The crew reached
Bahia, port some distance north of the
ships destination. 1t is presumed from
the fact of the murder that the crew mu-
tinted and after killing Captain Whitman
and the first officer they set fire to the ves-
sci and escaped to the shore. The suppo-
sition is that the men are under arrest.
The Pecker must have been very near her
destination when the tragedy occurred.
When the intelligence reached here it
spread rapidly throughout the shipping
community and caused intense excite
ment among the shipbrokers and ship
masters.
The crew of the Olive Pecker consisted
of Captain J. w. Whitman, aged "A, who
resided at Rockland, Me-. where he leaves
a widow and little girl about IL years OF
age. The mate, William Saunders, 46
years DID, belongs in Nova Scotia. He
leaves widow and four children. The
second mates name is William Harris
burg, 81 years old, a native of Scotland.
Steward Peter Thompson, Dane; aged
49, and seaman Andrew March, native
of England, So; Manuel Barial, Span

The Olive Pecker was fine vessel OF
