BACK FROM CUBA.

Washington, March 13.-Senator
Proctor, of Vermont and his compan-
ion. Col. Myron NJ Parker, who have
been spending some time in Cuba, re-
turned to Washington tonight at
1926. Senator Proctor said TO an AS
ISOLATED Press reporter that he did not
desire to discuss his trip at present,
and that further than TO commend the
good work Miss Clara Barton was do
ing IN Cuba, he had said nothing in
the way of an interview.
Colonel Parker said to an Associated
Pres sreporter.
We went TO Sagua la Grande, Ma
tanzas, Cienfuegos and Artemisa, pro-
vince of Pinar del Rio. | was with
Senator Proctor most of the time. The
stories of the amount of suffering in
the island Cuba have not been eXag-
gerated. 1t is intense in every por-
ton Of the island. The reconcentra-
dos are gathered into the villages,
where they can be seen in all their
pitiable aspects. Ii is. perhaps, great
er in Matanzas than elsewhere. What
impressed me most and would doubt
less impress any visitor TO Cuba, is the
utter desolation of the island Miss
Barton is doing great work among the
reconcentrados and is TO be praised for
her heroic efforts in that direction.
We were well treated by the Span
iards.''
In answer to the question as to what
in his mind should be done TO put an
end to the awful suffering, Colonel
Parker would not commit himself, but
said significantly that he had no doubt
this government would take the best
course. He commended most highly
the action pursued by Consul General
Lee, who, he said, was a man fitted
for his place in every respect, from
what he had seen of his administra-
ton of affairs there The matter of
his recall reached there just little
before the contradiction and was not
credited 1t was denied that his re-
turn to this country was wanted, ne

MOUNTING HEAVY GUNS.

Pensacola, Fla, March Effort
Picllens, which guards the entrance to
the harbor on the east side, is the
scene Of great activity just now. It is
considered one of the strongest of the
old style OF forts in the country. New
six and eight-inch rifle guns will be
mounted on it. and if a lot of vessels
should succeed in passing the heavy
batteries Of disappearing guns and
mortars on Santa Rosa Island, the fort
will be able to do effective work when
they reach the channel.

GOOD ADVICE.

London, March 1.-THE Daily News,
commenting this morning on its Wash
ington correspondent report that
President McKinley's intimates be-
lieye him in favor of waving all ques
lions of indemnity provided Spain will
accept Americas friendly mediation
in Cuba, says:
Such a resolution would be the best
for all parties. If Spain is not able to
manage her own colonies, they must
be managed for her. That and no
straining of the Monroe doctrine is
the source of American feeling against
Spain.
IF President Mckinley can find a
way out Of the imbroglio, he will earn
the gratitude of the United States,
Spain, Cuba and mankind"

Portsmouth, n H., March 13.-Plans
for the placing of submarine mines for

been actively at work near the forti-

SUDDEN DEATH OF A
 PIONEER AT SELMA
After Four Trips to Alaska Frank
 Dusy Succumbs to Election Excitement

SELMA, Nov. 10-Frank Dusy died at his home here last night of heart failure, aged 61 years. He was on the streets all day yesterday, interested ll the election returns, and was in his usual health last night until 10:30 o'clock, when he called his son to go for the family physician. Death came to the sturdy pioneer within a few moments of the physicians arrival.
 MT. Dusy arrived from Alaska only about two weeks ago. He went to Cooks Inlet in 1895, where he secured valuable mining property. The next season he chartered a schooner and took out pack train and a party oi prospectors from this section. He has made four trips to Alaska and has taken out three schooner loads of miners and investors. He expected to return to Cooks Inlet in the spring.
 MT. Dusy's life has been an eYentfuI one, and his name Is familiar to the plo- neers of this section of the State. He came to California in 1853 and engaged Tn mining in Tuolumne County. Later he came to Fresno County and located at Fort Millerton before Fresno City was thought of. For twenty years he was one of the biggest sheep owners in the valley, and held large tracts of land which are now the garden places of the irrigated section. During thte Mussel Slough trouble Frank Dusy was active, and the tered, still remember him vividly. He owned some of the best property in this section at one time and built one Of the handSomeSt residences in the county few years ago on his ranch near Selma.
 MT. Dusy married in 1872 at Stockton Miss Cassie Ross. sister-in-law of J. w. Ferguson, just elected Assessor. Five children survive him. Funeral services auspices of the Masonic, Odd Fellow and A O. U. w. orders. The remains will be inferred at Mountain View Cemetery, Fresno. where his wife was inferred six

SEIZURE OF A YUKON FLEET
CANADIAN REMEDY FOR A
 BREACH OF CONTRACT.
Captain Abercrombie of the Govern ment Surveyors Tells of Con- ditions and Strikes in
 Alaska.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE. Nov. IDA report comes from Dawson that the Canadian Gov ernment has seized two steamers and two barges of the Yukon River fleet of the Boston and Alaska Transportation Company for breach of contract. The company, 1t Is claimed, contracted to deliver the overnment goods in July, but did not fulfill the contract until September. Captain Blakeley of one Of the barges is supposed to be in jail at Dawson, charged with broachiCg the cargo. He is accused of making away with a quantity of whisky belonging to Donohoe & Co.,
 The steam schooner Excelsior arrived here to-day from Copper River, Alaska, with about 200 passengers, among whom was Captain w. R. Abercrom- bic, U. s. A., and his party of Govern ment surveyors, including F. c. Schra- der, geologist; Emil Marlow, topo- graphist. and nine enlisted men. The Abercrombie party claim to have cut a trail from Valdes to Copper River, which does away with the dangerous trip over the glacier and shortens the distance sixty miles. Abercrombie said:
 "Of the 5000 that went into the Cop per River country from nine to eleven hundred will winter there. Those who came back either lost their outfits or were grubstaked tenderfeet who simply sat around camp and searched but lit tie if at all for gold. There are three placer mining camps in the interior, at Lake Sealota, the Tonsina and Consina rivers. Coarse placer gold has been found at all of them. Bedrock has not been reached yet on account of the water. W. s. Amy of San Francisco has discovered a big vein of bituminous coal west of Teslin Lake,
 Accompanying Abercrombie Is the United States Coast and Geodetic party, consisting of H. P. Ritter, E. B. La tham. H. S. Benson and several others, who have been at work all summer on the Copper River delta. procuring complete maps and data. Tn. delta is about thirty miles wide.

 President Dole is of the opinion that it will be necessary for him to make a, trip to Washington, probably lh Jan uary of next year. This will be after the report of the Hawaiian Comm1s- sion has been received by the President and Congress. It was the request or MT. Cullom, chairman of the Commis- sion, that President Dole, as member, be in attendance at Washington during part of the time at least that prospec- tive legislation was before the com mittees of the Senate or House or both.

NEGROES WANT0NLY
 FIRE UPON WHITES
Citizens of Pana, H., Terrorized by a Gang of the Imported
 Miners.

PANA, H.. Nov. 1O.-William Lynch, !, who was employed by the Pana Coal Company up to the time of the strike, was shot at to-day by negroes and driven into his house. Then they shot at the house of a widow by the name of Mrs Mcintyre. who was taking care of her sick daughter. Fortunately nobody was hit.
 The negroes in the vicinity known as the Flatham district came running and began to shoot in all directions. They kept this up until the soldiers arrived upon the scene. When the shooting be- gan many women and children ran to Captain Butler of Company B for pro- lection. Things are in such a state that it is dangerous for any one to go out in the mining district at night. The citizens say If something is not done before long and operator will be killed. It was im- possible to arrest any of the negroes.

CONGRESS- REPUBLICAN
 IN BOTH FRANC HE'S
Chairman Babcock Finds Gratifying Results After Canvassing the
 Returns

NEW YORK, Nov. t0.--A Washington special to the Herald says: Chairman Babcock of the Republican Congressional Committee has received authentic infor- nation from every Congressional District in the country except two, and makes positive announcement that the Republi- cans have elected 1S5 members, the Demo- crats 163 and the Populists T. The doubt full Districts are the Seventh California and Twelfth Texas. Two districts in Ne braska which MT. Babcock claimed yes terday he has conceded to the Populists, to whom he has also conceded the | nird Kansas District. He comedies the Seven teenth, Nineteenth and Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania districts to the Democrats, but claims the Eleventh Illinois. one dis trict in Kentucky, one In Minnesota and the Ninth Indiana. MT. Babcock stated that the Nineteenth and Thirty-second New York districts, which have been given to the Democrats, might yet be added to the Republican column. 1T think" he said. "it is highly possible that the soldier vote will give us these two districts"
 MT. Babcock told me that the next United States Senate will stand fifty-three Republicans to thirty-seven opposition, his party having elected Legislatures in Cali fornia. Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin, New York, New Jersey, Delaware and In- diana. causing the Populists to lose two Senators and the Democrats six.

Following Is a list of the dead and wounded: rs
 U. ETHERIDGE, white, killed at polls. .s ,:s .s.s. <
 THOMAS TOLBERT, white. mortally wounded at the same time.
 WADE HAMPTON MCKINNEY,
 JAMES WILLIAMS,
 DRAYTON WATTS,
 LUM JACKSON, all colored, killed yesterday.
 ESSEX HARRISON, colored.
 BEN COLLINS, colored, killed to- day.
 Wounded: Sidney Tolbert, 15 years old, dangerously wounded; John R. Tolbert, white, collector of the port at Charleston and chairman of the Re- publican State Executive Committee, wounded; Stuart Miller, white, nor tally wounded in head; C. Fleming, white shot in shoulder; NJ. J. Younger shot in foot; Cleave Armstrong, who tried to protect the negroes, shot in the neck.
 In addition to these, two and likely four negroes are reported to be dead in the woods near where the five bodies lay to-day.
 The trouble was precipitated on cleo tion day. when two or three hundred negroes at the polls opened a fusillade at the store in which the voting was going on. Tn this fight Etheridge was killed and Tolbert wounded. The second occasion for provocation was that a party hunting the slayers of Etheridge was fired into and one, Miller, fatally wounded, and Fleming badly hurt.
 The arrning of the negroes at the polls, the killing of Etheridge. the fir ing from ambush, all conspired to kin dle a flame of passion and when that will die down is difficult to tell. Jesse Williams and two others are said to have confessed to taking part in the ambuscade.
 The incident of the day was the kill ing of Essex Harrison. Down the road came a squad of mounted cavalrymer, with Harrison marching ahead with guns and rifles drawn on him. Fifteen men lined up on the roadside. The negro was put out in the road and told to go toward the pile of four dead ne groes. He started. there was a ring of rifles and Harrison pitched forward, dead. Harrison, 1t is alleged, was a member of the crowd that killed Ethe- ridge.
 Parties were out searching all day for the negroes who, 1t was said are ring leaders in the rioting. The whites are particularly incensed against all the Tolberts. and hold them responsible for the trouble. A party went to kill Tom Tolbert, but some one prevailed on them not to kill a wounded and dying man.
 CHARLESTON. S. C.. Nov. 1o.-A special to the News and Courier from | Greenwood. s. C.. says: News has just been received that the mob lynehed an- other negro near Phoenix this after noon at o'clock. His name was Jeff Darling, and he was implicated in the election riots and the killir~ of Ethe- ridge.
