AameHlAns SHOW FIGHT.
They Draw Knives, BIackjacks and Billies on
Brockton Strikers.

Brockton, Mass, Sept. 26.-There was
a small sized riot. this afternoon, Al
Montello. in front of the Field-Haz-
zard factory. Eight Armenians had
lust arrived from Boston on the train
and were on their way to the Field
1iazzard factory when the trouble
happened.
At Fied-Hazzards they were inter-
cepted by the pickets, who tried to
induce them to keep away from the
factory. The Armenians listened for a
few minutes and then, apparently ex-
pecting an attack. showed fight and
pulled out dirks, blackjacks and billies.
Those who were not armed resorted to
stones. throwing them, and one OF
them hurled large stone at a Pole
named Antoio Brown, the missile strik-
ing Brown on the left arm, causing a
nasty wound.
Wnen the crowd saw the knives and
other weapons there was a wild rush
to get out of the way. Nelson Orcutt
was compelled to run for his life and
he came down to swear out a warrant
against the Armenians and Brown will
have the man that hit him arrested.
The Armenians had no cause to draw
their weapons and everyone who wit.
messed the affair is indignant.
Another disturbance took place at D.
w. Fields factory, this afternoon.
Twelve colored lasters on their way out
began to throw stones to scare the
crowd. The strikers and others retail
lated and soon made it so warm for
the negroes that they broke into a
run and tried to escape. A number of

PLENTY OF time
To Be Given for the Evac-
uation Of Cuba.
Probably Commence in October to b
Finished About New Years.
Our Army d Occupation Will Not Number
0,ss q, 900 Ke,.

Washington, Sept. 26.-Commander
Eaten Of the Resolute. has been given
additional duty in connection with the
American military commission at Ha-
vana. The exact need for this is not
known at the navy department, the
order having been made at the request
Of the commission, but it is supposed
that Admiral Sampson wishes the OF
ficer to make an examination of the
Spanish naval properties scattered
along the various Cuban ports outside
of Havana.
The authorities here feel that by con-
senting to the entry of the vessel with
food supplies the Spanish officials in a
large measure ridded the question of
evacuation of the urgency that at
tached to it.
The reports which come to the de-
partment from Santiago make it APP
parent that even among the immune
regiments, made up as some of them
are. Of negroes. supposed to be almost
exempt from attacks of climatic fevers,
mucn sickness prevails and 1t is only
fair assumption that the ordinary
troops would suffer more were they
now sent into Cuba.
Therefore, while the American and
| Spanish commissioners at Havana are
still seeking to reach an agreement as
| 10 the time to be allowed for evacuat-
ing the island. it may be said that the
! President expects that the result will
| be compromise between the dates
mentioned on each side, and that tine
movement will begin towards the lat
! ter part of October and be concluded
| soon after New Years.
This will accord very we'll with the
plans of the war department., as it Will
enable it to avoid sending to Cuba any
| considerable number of soldiers until
the healthy season is we'll under way.
1t is the present purpose to make the
replacement of the Spanish forces IN
| ietail, not sending over any large ex-
hibition, but establishing a garrison
at one point after another. 1t Is
thought now that no more than 25 ,0OO
men will be required.

COLUMBUS ASHES
Taken from Niche in Cathe-
draI at Havana
Where They Have Quietly Reposed
Since Jan. IS, 1876,
And Will Be Taken 10 Spain, u Uncle Sam
Is willing.

Havana, Sept. 26.-The remains OF
Christopher Columbus, which. tins
morning, were removed from their
niche in the cathedral preparatory TO
their shipment to Spain, had lain in
their late resting place since Jan. Is,
1896, when they were brought from
Santa Domingo, that island having
been coded to France by Spain. Since
the date mentioned the remains had
lain in an open niche in the wall OF the
presbytery Of the cathedral. a yard
and a half above the ground, between
pillar supporting the main arch and
the choir.
In 1892 there was placed in front Of
the niche slab, of doubtful artistic
taste, representing in relief bust Of
the great admiral and bearing this m
scription:
''Restas Y Imagen del Grande Colon

pose of erecting a fitting monument
symbolizing the travels OF the dis
coverer, to be placed in the most con-
spicuous place in Havana and the con-
struction of a mausoleum to hold his

the Spanish sculptor Melida was
brought to Havana and placed upon a
base erected in the center aisle of the
cathedral, close to the main door.
The monument, the work on which
was entrusted to the sculptor Susilio
