Riot and Bloodshed In tho Orient.

Tacoma, Wash, June 5.-The steam
ship Victoria brings Hong Kong ad-
vices to May -. The spirit Of re-
bellion and riot seems to pervade
many parts of the Orient. Five thou
sand robbers are assembled in one
band in the mountains of Loyange,
Kinchou district, near Canton. Three
thousand are natives Of that district
and the balance comprise groups of
marauders from other places. They
commit crimes of every description,
plundering, robbing and killing rs
their fancy dictates. The local officers
are terrorized and dare not cope with
them.
The rebellion in Formosa hns been
confined largely to the central and
northern parts of the island. Now an
uprising is expected in the southern
end, according to n correspondent for
the Hong Kong Press, who writes that
the feeling of the populace there has
been wrought up to the boiling point
by the butchery of innocent country
men and helpless women and children
by Japanese soldlery in the Hozan
district.

Gen. Merritt has no family. His
favorite nephew, Eaton Merritt, he is

Gen. Merritt was married in 1871, in

The Merritts originally sprang from

In this country have descended.
Of General Merritt's military history

cavalry at Fort D. A. Russell, near
Cheyenne. After reaching Rawlings
or the nearest railroad point to the
White River Indian agency, General
Merritt had to ride four days and
nights continuously with light sup
ply of food and ammunition. Thorn
burgh was dead and his men were on
the point of starvation, wounded and
barely able to cling to their guns be-

Merritts wild ride through the Rocky

he did not kill a horse or man dur

With Custer, Mcpherson and Sheri-

THE FUTURE OF CUBA.
The Government Already Considering tho
Question.

Tho Government Already Considering tho
Question.
Washington, June 5.-President Nc
kinley's plan Of organizing n repub-
lican form of government In Cuba that
shall represent all classes and factions
the rich and poor, the sugar plant
ers, the tobacco manufacturers, the
merchants, the professional men, and
all concerned-with a legislature elect
ed by the people to make the laws. and
judiciary and executive chosen In the
same manner to enforce them, is not
approved by the insurgents. Gomez,
Maso and other leaders dissent very
emphatically from such proposition,
and insist that every man in Cuba who
has been loyal to the Spanish govern
ment during the revolution or has not
shown active sympathy for the insur-
gents shall be permanently disfran-
chised and forever prohibited from
holding office under the new govern
ment. They declare that all Of the
friends Of Cuba libre are known and
can be easily Identified when they
come into their kingdom. They have
suffered for their love of liberty; they
have fought to drive the Spanish flag
from the West Indies, and are entitled
to the fruits of their victory.
Haven't we been fighting and suf-
ferIng in order to drive out the Span
iards, and are we not entitled to run
the government when they so? Are
the men who have remained loyal to
Spain, and who have assisted Weyler
and Blanco to defeat us, to share in
the honors and emoluments? Not
much. They can go back to Spain
with the army or we will make them
very unhappy" Thus spoke one of the
junta after coming directly from a
conference with Capote, and in reply
to n question he continued:
Universal suffrage? Certainly not.
Such n thing is impossible. No man
who has not given active aid and SYM
pathy to the insurgents will be al
lowed to participate in the election or
hold an office under the new govern
ment. We have fought too long and
too hard to allow such time-servers to
share the spoils Of war; besides that,
II we had universal suffrage the Span
iards would rule the country. They
own the property; they control the cap
ital; they are the merchants and bank
ers and professional men; they own
the railways, the mines, the sugar and
tobacco plantations and the cigar fac
tories, and they have three-fourths Of
the people of the island upon their pay
rolls. They would, therefore, be able
to control the elections and run us out,
and If such things can possibly come
to pass we might as well quit fight

brave. sagacious and competent man Of

er's boy. typesetter. publisher, editor,
lawyer, cadet, soldier and then a vic
