The Death List.
Important Battle i'm Cuba.

Havana, Jan. 14.-It is reported that
an important engagement has taken
place between the Spaniards and the
insurgents under Gen. Rabi in the dis
trict of Manzanillo in which the in
surgents lost 900 men killed and the
Spaniards 40 men killed and wounded.
On account of the concentration of the
insurgent forces few leagues distant
from Havana, Gen. Faldarama left here
Wednesday with 500 troops to engage
the enemy. As several chiefs of Spanish
columns have burned farms and corn
fields and have shot prisoners of war,
including sick and wounded men, Gen.
Bianco has issued new decree prohibit
ing the destruction of all kinds of prop
erty and forbidding the shooting of
prisoners who are sick or wounded.
The captain general has also issued de-
crees supplying the planters and farm
ers for their defense with the rifles
which belonged to the invalided sol
diers sent back to Spain.

LAST OF OLD CREMCaNe.
Site of the Famous London Garden to
Re Built UpOn.

About an acre and a half of ground
in Chelsea. which has been used for
the past 20 years by W. j. Bull, the or
child grower and nurseryman. has been
sold and is to be built upon. The piece
of ground possesses a history, and no
ordinary one, for it is part of the site
of old Cremorne. What recollections
must rise in the minds of those who
knew London and were acquainted
with London 20 or IS years ago at the
mere mention of the word Cremornet
Il is strange that there should be no
book dealing with this place, in which
was reflected for 80 years that which
was universally known as London
life" The doings at the gardens dur
ing these years must provide ample ma
terial
1t was in 1s43 that Cremorne was
first opened as a place of entertain
ment. The programme was always a
varied one, and the element of sensa-
ton was always in request. Balloon
ing was the venture which never ceased
to attract. for it was conducted in those
days with more than the ordinary
amount of danger. The number of hair
breadth escapes run by the aeronauts
was fearful. One would come to smash
at Walthamstow one day; another
would go for little trip to Kent and
alight with more celebrity than grace
on the green of some sleepy village.
Cremorne had many managers, but
the one remembered best is Baum
During his regime the place attained
great reputation. No money was
spared to provide attraction. and it is
certain that the people who went there
enjoyed themselves to their hearts de-
sire. Any evening Cremorne was worth
visit, but the time to see it at its best
was after some great event. such as the
boat race or the Derby.
What a night" might have been
said with good reason then. There was
leaven of what is carnivalesque about
it: there was an extra fastness in the
fun; an unusual spirit of gayety abroad.
License for extra time had been grant
ed and fresh arrivals came pouring in
until very late hour. The theaters
and music halls all sent their audiences
down. CremOrne acted as a focus, SO
to speak. and centralized all the scat
| tered rays of reyelry of the metropolis.
! Clubites hired cabs and made their way
down to the gates with all possible
speed.
The end of Cremorne was in 1877.
First of all, some one libeled Mr.. Baum
about the gardens, and there was an
action. Mr. Baum got one-fourth pence
and had to pay his own costs. few
months later Mr.. Baum made an appli-
cation for the renewal of his license
but the number of people who gave no.
tice of opposition was so great that Mr..
Baum withdrew and the gardens peace
! fully expired.
Such was Cremorne. and now the last
remnant reminding one of its former
glories is to be swept away.-Londop

THE YEAR OPENS WELL.
satisfactory Indications Prevail in
Commercial Circles.


New York. Jan. 15.-R. G. Dun & Co..
in their weekly review of trade, say:
1.-The year has opened with a very salts
factory prospect. 1t is all the better that
there is no wild excitement in the specula-
tive markets, and while stocks advance
a little, grain yields a little. The pay
ment through the principal clearing
houses notwithstanding decrease at New
York owing to less activities in stocks, are
&c per cent. larger than in 1892, and 10.1 per
cent. larger outside New York. Earnings
of all railroads in the United States report
ing for December, s43, So. 279, indicate sub
stantially the same rate of increase, ex-
ceeding last years by 10.5 per cent. and the
earnings of 1892 for the same roads by l-S
per cent. Since 1892 was, on the whole. the
most prosperous year thus far, compar-
isons indicate, notwithstanding the low
est prices ever known, that the volume OF
business is larger and. in spite of some
cutting of rates, the earnings Of railroads
are larger than the best year Of past his
tory.
THE wheat market has been curiously
languid, yielding a quarter of a cent, al
though Atlantic exports amount TO $685.
7SS bushels for the two weeks of January,
against 1885,, 81 last year, and Pacific ex-
ports for the week have been 1875 $40 BUSH
els. Western receipts continue so heavy
that the greatest accumulation OF wheat
at chicago ever KNOWN there Is lllIe cd
coura cement for speculation. Corn ex-
ports continue large, although equal TO
last years, amounting to S,136.6SS bushels,
against Ala, 652 bushels for the week last
year, and the price declined about three
fourths of a cent.
split cotton is a sixteenth lower for
middling uplands, mainly because Of the
stoppage of some mills by difficulty about
wages. But nothing is definitely known
about the quantity of cotton yet coming
forward. and one report of creditable char
acter puts the years yield at 10, $40, go bales
though results thus far do not quite justify
so large an estimate.
The iron furnaces in blast January l re-
port an output of &c, COS tons weekly.
against 226,024 weekly December l, with
an increase Of 12,2N tons in the unsold
stocks held by furnaces. While this shows
a consumption of 5211 per cent larger than
a year ago. there would be discourag ing
indications of consumption but for the fact
that several furnaces were stopped for the
holidays, and these, with several others.

mand for finished products does not d.

Havana. Jan. 13. - At ten o'clock
Wednesday morning about 100 army Of
ticers, incensed by the violent attacks
made by some of the local papers. on
the general in chief and the principal
officers of the Spanish army in Cuba,
went to the printing offices of the Daily
Journal, La Discussion and Ell Recon
centrado and began smashing the win
dows and destroying the printing out
fits, as well as cutting the employees. A
mob of thousands followed, shouting:
"Lcng live Spain!" Long live the
army!" Long live the volunteers."
The appearance at the office of La
Discussion of Gen. Garricho, acting mil
itary commander at Havana, and Gen.
Solano, chief of staff, prevented more
serious outrages. These officers then
proceeded 10 the Office of Ell Diario de
Ia Marina, the mob shouting mean
while: Death to FL Reconcentrado!'
and Death to La Discussion" But on
the appearance Of Gen. Parade the
people scattered. At half past II large
crowds of citizens appeared opposite
the office of FL Diario de Ia Marina and
began smashing the doors and shout
ing: Long live Spaini" Long live the
armyl'' Long live the volunteers" The
gendarmerie dispersed the rioters.
Washington, Jan. Is. = According to
dispatches from Consul General Lee the
rioting in Havana is much more seri-
Gus than the press dispatches, which
were reviewed by the censor, indicated.
Messages from Gen. Lee early in the
day indicated that the American con-
sulate was in danger. He reported that
Gen. Blanco had realized this and had
promptly thrown Gordon of Spanish
regulars about the consulate, but twas
feared that they would not be able to
hold in restraint the excited populace,
who were calling out: Down with the
Americans"
Washington, Jan. Is. = The Cuban
scare has subsidized entirely and little
interest or anxiety was manifested In it
in official circles Friday.
Assistant Secretary Day came over
to the white house from the state de-
partment before the cabinet meeting
and left telegram that had been re-
cived from Consul General Lee. 1t was
sent from Havana during the middle
hours of the night, and while it re-
ported the existence there of much ex-
citement. and chronicled the attacks on
the newspaper Offices in continuation OF
those of the day before, and the par
ticipation of some soldiers in the dem

assurance of peace and quiet.

She Killed the Wolf.

Wolves are plenty in eastern Polk
county, and are not only killing many
deer, but are chasing settlers and
playing havoc among the cattle in some
instances. A short time ago, while
Ralph Green was away hunting. deer
came bounding into his clearing, fol-
lowed by huge tim Der wolf that sue
ceeded in bringing it down almost at
Green's door. One stroke of the ami
malls teeth ripped open the throat of
the deer, and at this juncture Mrs.
Green appeared on the scene. One
shot with the rife which every settlers
cabin is provided with, and the wolf
ceased to take any interest in passing
events. Mrs. Green dressed the deer,
finishing the task just as her husband
returned, empty-handed, from fruit

MINNESOTA STATE NEWS
No One to Blame.

The commission appointed by Gov.
Clough some months ago to investigate
the management of the state prison at
saltwater, haye held a conference, and
it was announced that they are decided
as to the findings they will make in
the case. The commissioners agree
that the officials are not to be blamed
to any great extent for the troubles
which were presented to them as most
serious They are agreed that the
root of the whole matter is to be found
in the fact that many of the prisoners
sentenced to Saltwater in the past
have been insane when sent there. The
prison officials were not aware of the
fact and could not be supposed to be
aware of the fact When the jury of
II intelligent men had passed upon the
guilt of the prisoner and had decided
that he was a it subject for confine-
ment in prison. it was not within the
province of a prison official to question
their wisdom, according to the COM

last night 200 Polish labOrers who had
been receiving $1.10 a day working in
the yard of the company made a de-
mand for an increase to $1.30 per day.
The demand was refused and the men
Immediately went on a strike.
This morning the company brought a
car load of negroes from Chicago. The
car was run up alongside of the big
fence which incloses the cOmpany's
yard and the men marched in. There
was a large crowd of the striking en-
ployes around, but no violence was Of
fered. 1t was some time before the
strikers realized that the black men
were brought to take their places. AS
soon as the strikers realized it there
was great excitement in their ranks. A
parade was formed and they marched
through the principal streets of Bay
View. This afternoon threats against
the negroes were freely made.
The company intends to feed and
lodge the men inside the gates Of the
big plant as long as there is any dam
ger that they may be molested. All Of
the boarding house keepers in Bay
View have refused to provide food or
to have anything to do with the men
imported to take the strikers places.
