TROUBLE IN 4 SYNAGOGUE.
Free Fight in Bichua Ala Stopped by
 Police Last Night.


 About 10 o'clock while Policeman Richard Moore was patrolling his beat in the vicinity of Factory street, a man named Wiseman came running up to him and told him that free fight was in progress in the new synagogue on Factory street, between Commerce and George streets. Moore summoned Pa- trolman P. Doherty and together the two went to the synagogue, where they found a fight in progress and an up- roar as of pandemonium let loose. All their efforts to restore order were un- availing until the powerful persuasion of their clubs was brought to bear on the belligerants, when an armistice was declared.
 Wolf Abraham and Harris Abraham were arrested for breach of the peace and assault on Max Gringold, vice president of the society. Both prison CTS were released on $75 bonds. Ac- cording to the stories told to Patrolman Moore he question as to the width of some new seats which were to be put in the synagogue was being discussed. Some wanted seats twenty inches wide and others wanted seats eighteen inches wide. Finally vote was taken and the twenty-inch side won. MT. Grin gold was outspoken in his disapproba- ton of this action and his protests an- gered the Abrahanls. It is alleged that Wolf Abraham ran up to the presiding officer, snatched the gavel from his hand and fell upon Gringold, belating him unmercifully and tearing off his coat. The case will be aired in the city court this morning.

Washington, July 1.-The only dis uuieting information received during the day was as to the yellow fever con- ditions at the front, and this dispatch was modified in an encouraging way by General Shafter's later news. It was a dispatch from Colonel Greenleaf, chief surgeon of the army in Cuba, saving that sixteen new cases had appeared
 While this was regarded with some ap- prehension by laymen, the surgeon gen. erals department considered the show ing entirely satisfactory. Colonel AL den, acting surgeon general during the absence of General Sternberg, said that a. report of only sixteen cases was an exceptionally good showing, as the ----mber must be taken relatively to the l.rge number of men at the front. With the surrender accomplished there will be better opportunity to get the men on high ground and keep them away from infection. During the day a report was received stating positively that no cases of yellow fever existed on the Harvard, which brought a large number of sick Spanish prisoners to Portsmouth. This not only relieved officials as to the con dition at Portsmouth. but also as to the Harvard, for it would be a severe han dicap to the navy if this crack craft had to go into quarantine.

 I have the honor to announce that the American flag has been this instant 12 o'clock noon, hoisted over the house of the civil government in the city of Santiago. A squadron of cavalry and a regiment of in- fantry presenting arms and band playing national airs. Light battery fired salute of twenty-one guns. Perfect order is being maintained by municipal government. Dis tress is very great, but little sickness in town Scarcely any yellow fever. A small gunboat and about two hundred seamen lnft by Cervera have surrendered to me. Ob- structions are being moved from mouth of harbor Upon coming into the city I dis covered perfect entanglement of defense.

 Secretary Alger expressed his deep qualification at the continuation of the Santiago campaign. He had fully ex- pected the surrender to be formally car- red out at g o'clock this morning &C., cording to General Shafter's telegram last night, yet it was relief to know that the last chance for barley and Spanish diplomacy had passed and that our flag was now flying over the city. Ut is a magnificent achievement" said he, land most of all, it is tribute to the bravery, pluck and endurance of the American soldiers. Now that their efforts have brought final and complete success, I believe their campaign will be recorded as one of the most glorious pages of our military history. Not more than ten thousand men were en- gagged when the most serious fighting occurred, but they pushed forward and created a condition which has brought the surrender of twenty-five thousand men,"

GROWTH OF MELLOW FEVER.
Six Hundred Cases Under Treatment
 237 in American Army.

Santiago de Cuba, Sunday, July IT, New cases of yellow fever continue to appear daily and fully six hundred are now under treatment, but the disease is of a very mild form and the physi- clans say that it is now well in hand. Only five deaths have occurred up to tonight, the low mortality being re- markable and most encouraging to Dr. Guiteras and the other fever experts, who had grave fears when the disease first appeared that the death rate would be very heavy. General Miles in an in- terview to-day said he believed that the danger from the pest was over and that the men do not seem to fear it in the least owing to the mildness of most of the cases. He also said: "The doctors report 237 cases up to date in the Amer ican army. Of course it is a serious matter, but I hope by camping on the hills to stamp it out as it is a mild form of the fever and only few deaths have yet occurred"

20 KILLED AND 30 WOUNDED.
Result of the Riots at Ming PO-French
 Unnecessarily Severe.

London, July 1S.-The Shanghai cor respondent of the Times says: "In the riots at Ning-Po to-day large mob attacked the police station. The French police and, the marines from the French cruiser Eclaireur fired on the mob on two occasions. Twenty natives were killed and over thirty wounded. The Chinese local authorities expressed their inability to maintain order or to compel the guild to comply with the French demands. Similar riots arose from similar cause in 1874. In the present case the action of the French authorities is generally considered un- necessarily severe, the matter resolving itself into one of arbitration and ade- quate compensation for the value of the site claimed. All is now quiet, but further disturbances are not improba ble''

The au- thorities at Washington have been urged to use haste in the matter. It has been suggested to use Spanish transports for this work, fear being expressed that the use of American vessels would result in rendering them dangerous for use in removing American troops owing to yellow fever.

London, July 1S.--The Madrid corre- spondent of the Daily Telegraph tele- graphing Sunday says: Riots have broken out at Huelva, capitol of the Province of Huelva, in Andalusia. The inhabitants marched to the municipal buildings, shouting for cheap bread. Rioters to the number of 4,0OO sacked many private houses.

The Arcadia" provoked storm OF

sign of it's originality. Previous to the

worked UP in the studio, without any

painted in the open air and in the
scant, artificial light of the studio. In
the Arcadia" all the figures were
painted out Of doors; there the models
were posed, there the landscape was
painted. And the result warranted the
pains taken to surmount the difficulties
that the conventional had erected

in the matter of ownership of public
monuments.
NJ. Cernuschi himself thus relates
how he obtained the immense Buddha,
which is the most imposing feature OF
his collection:
In the capital of Japan the sellers
came to US every day at the house Of
a certain Yaki. Yaki served as VaIua-
tor and intermediary. Bronzes were
carried in by the score. M. Duret and
I made selections and urgently in
sisted that what we wanted most was
number of the large objects.
"One day a party came and invited
US to accompany them to Megours, In
the outskirts of Yeddo. When there,
they led US to a kitchen garden, where
we found ourselves in the presence of a
large Buddha, still upright and I'M
harmed. amid the ruins Of temple
that had been destroyed by fire.
1.-THE proprietor of the garden agreed
to sell US the statue, and bargain
was there and then concluded. We
called for tools, and with their aid de-
tached the right hand of the figure and
brought it with US into the city. On
the following day the statue was dis
mounted and carted into Yaki's resi-
dence, and the task of packing it for
expectation was begun.
But our trouble was not yet over.
The report soon spread through the
community that their Buddha was
about to be exiled, and within a few
hours the street before our house
was thronged with an excited
multitude. They knelt down in the
dust and implored us to leave them
their deity, and offered to repay us ten
times over the money we had spent.
Our hearts, however, refused to be
touched, for the zeal of the collector
dominated all our more humane feel
ings. We kept the attention of tbs
crowd engaged by pretending to enter
into serious parley with them. and
meanwhile the packing was FASTENED
and by night the statue was put on the
road for Yokohama to be thence
shipped to Europe"
This Buddha, although it is only a
reduced copy of the colossal one at
Nara, which stands So feet high, is IT.
