Kingston, Jamaica, June 20.-A
newspaper dispatch boat which left
the fleet off Guantanamo on Saturday
evening arrived here yesterday with
the following advices:
Cuban scouts report that the inhab-
itants of Caimanera have strewn the
streets with straw and oil, with the in
tention of destroying the city and flee
ing to the hills. CaimaneTa lies four
miles up the bay from Camp McCalla,
under the guns of the American ships
and the situation is desperate. Starry
ing and famine stricken, convinced Of
the ultimate triumph of the American
arms, and without faith in the protec-
tiOn of the Spanish soldiery, the peO-
pie are believed to have determined to
leave their houses in ashes behind
them and seek safety in the mountains
to the north The scouts declare that
the story is accurate, and say that
every building in town is being rapidly
prepared for the torch.
The situation of the besieged is a
fearful one. The people are eating

phia. before the Lenox Athletic club to-
night. These two lads met at 105 pounds,
and put up a bout which was one of the
liveiieSt and cleverest contests which has
taken place lin this arena. Towards the
close of the fight the stiff pace told on
Leon, while the Philadelphia man showed
very little signs of distress. In fact, the
quaker" seemed to grow strong towards
the conclusion of the bout. The referee
satisfied the majority of those VINO wit

Neither seemed to have suffered much
up to the twenty-third round. In the mid

at the close of the round they were fight

Flanagan was the frs tot lead in the
twenty-fourth, landing a stiff right hand

fought back, but Flanagan was much the
stronger Leon left himself open and
Flanagan swung his right heavily on the
chest The pace was very hot just then,
considering the distance they had gone.
When they shook hands for the last
round it looked to be either mans fight.

Not Permitted TO Use the Soldiers at

Several Protests.

Madrid Oct. 1.-The cabinet has de-
cided to authorize General Rios to
grant reforms in the Visayas islands on
the lines demanded by the inhabitants
and to concentrate his forces at Min
danao, as there are only $50 men garri
soning the Visayas. The Spanish min
listers also decided to protest to the
government at Washington against
the refusal of the Americans to per-
nit Spanish troops to be sent to the
ViSayaS, while, it is claimed, the insur-
gents are constantly receiving arms
and cannon with which to attack other
islands, which the Americans permit
without even pretending to intervene"
The Spanish cabinet, it is added, will
acquaint its Paris commissioners with
these contentious, in order that they
may be used in the peace negotiations.
Finally, it is announced that the gov
eminent would inform the government
at Washington that it has decided to
send achievements to the VisayaS,
and it has ordered several batteries of
artillery in Andalusia to get ready to
start for the Philippine islands in "a
hours.
In addition to this, the cabinet will
repeat its protests against the insur-
gents continuing to hold Spanish pris-
oners in the Philippine islands.
The government here estimates that
there are 200, 900 people in Puerto Rico
who desire to return to Spain.

TOD sLoANE's SUCCESS.
Landed First or Second In Six Races
Yesterday.

London, Sept. 30.-Sloane added the
Rous Memorial stakes for 2-year-olds
to his list of victories today, plotting
Sir r. Waldies Griffiths brown filly
Landrail in first. Three horses ran.
The betting was 5 to 2 against Land
rail.
An all aged selling plate of 1O2 SOW
ereigns was also captured by Sloane,
who rode the Lorillard- Beresford sta
bles' S-year-old Libra. Eight horses
ran. The betting was to 1 against
Libra.
Sloane crowned his surprisingly large
number of winning mounts today by
taking the Newmarket st. Leger stakes
of not less than 500 sovereigns, for s.
year-olds. with Sir j. Millers colt Gala
chiefs. Three horses won. Betting
to 4 against him.
In the Rutland stakes Sloane rode the
Lorillard-Beresfords stables colt Boom
er. but failed to get a place, this be-
ing the only race out of the seven
events in which he had a mount that
he did not land his horse either first
OF second. Sloan's successive wins
were greeted with immense enthusiasm
by the spectators, the crowd cheering
itself hoarse as the American jockey
brought home mount after mount a
winner.

STORMS AND FLOODS IN JAPAN
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY
LIVES WERE LOST.
Many Houses Wrecked and Swept
Away = Minister Hoshin's Views
On the Philippine Situation

San Francisco, Sept. 30.-The steamer
Gaelic, from China and Japan, brings
news of a terrific storm which swept
over Japan on Sept 6, which, before 1t
blew itself out, almost reached typhoon
proportions. The blow did great deal
OF damage to shipping, several vessels
dragging their anchors and being
blown into collision, and one or two
small vessels were blown ashore. A
terrific downpower of rain accompanied
the wind and in the interior the dam
age was Stu3endouS. Rivers rose
rapidly and soon became raging tor
rents, overlooking their banks and
flooding many sections. A summary OF
the loss OF life and property follows:
Deaths, $50; houses swept away, l64;
houses overthrown, 1,195; partially
wrecked, 1,460: houses inundated, 15,-
SIT; river banks broken, rs.
Owing to the Interruption to COM
munication this summary Will doubt
less be greatly augmented by later ad-
vices.
The heaviest loss of life occurred in
the prefecture of Kofu. This section
also showed other losses greater In
comparison with many others, but the
Aichi prefecture suffered the greatest
loss Of property.
Ex-Jaoanese Minister to the United
States HoShi does not believe there
will be an Angio-American alliance,
and further says neither America nor
England will dare take the Philippines
without reference to Japan, and that
if it were done that would be the mo-
ment for Japan to move. The minister
was given a grand reception on his re-
turn from the United States.

CORBETT-M'CoY FIGHT.
Reported That It Will Be Pulled Off
On the 18th.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept SO.-Manager c..
Wilson of the Hawthorne Athletic club
in an interview with the News today, de-
tailed a conversation which he had with
B. Gray, McCOy's manager. by tele-
phone, yesterday, in which the latter
said:
Il will sign no agreements until / see
you. which will be some time between
now and Monday; but l can pull off the
Corbett-McCoy match in New York state
outside of Erie county on Oct 15 / win
not say over the wire where, but will tell
you when l get to Buffalo. The people
have been talking with are dead anxious
to have the fight and guarantee that
there will be no interference"
Mr.. Wilson said that the stories to the
effect that the fight would take place in
PittsburS were all nonsense.
The News predicts, Cheektowaga be-
ing barred. the Mccoy fight will take
place under the auspices of the Haw-
thorne club in Syracuse. This prediction
the News says, is based on more than Idle
speculation and rumor.

II is shown by statistics from the treas
ury department that the present vol
uHe or money is Inadequate, and that
the frequent stringency In the money
market is because the per capita of
currency in the United States has
steadily decreased, and is insufficient to
meet the demands, giving the money
centers undue advantage over the iso-
lated and agricultural sections of the
country
The decline of our merchant marine is
pointed out with considerable force, the
writer's of the article say the war just
closed has made a wreck of the Chi
nese wall and the restriction barriers
placed in the pathway of American
commerce must give way to a trade
revolution which will cause a trans
formation from Republican to Demo-
cratic policies.
The record of the Democrats in con-
gress on the war revenue measure is
prepared with care. 1t proves that the
Democracy were anxious that the rich
and poor, should bear their proportion
ate share of the burdens, while the
record brands the Republicans as being
altogether Solicitous for the capitals
tic class, and utterly faithless to the
interest of the masses.
The deficit is shown by the treasury
statistics at the end of the fiscal year
L
showing the Dingley law receipts for
the fiscal year of 1898 as $26.979, O54.SO
less than the receipts under the Wilson
law for the previous year of 1897.
Another interesting and important
article in the text book comprises a
review or history of the Cuban ques- \
ton in congress, with indiSputable
proof that the leaders of the Republic
can party in congress We're more con-
cerned about the effect of their action
on the value of Spanish consols than
that of suffering humanity in Cuba 1t
is shown by the record that the policy
of recognition of Cuban belligeTency
favored by the Democrats and opposed
by the Republicans would, if adopted,
have avoided the evils and horrors of
war.
The Republicans are charged with
being unpatriOtic enough to attempt to
create partisan advantage out of our
struggle with a foreign foe. The glory
belongs to the American soldier and
sailor and the shame to the Republi-
can leaders who attempted to fatten on
the necessities of the war.
/ Labor and trusts are given consider
able space in the book, and organized
labor is shown to be favorable to the
free coinage of silver. The antitrust
act while being quoted as being passed
to suppress trusts. has only been en-
forced to suppress labor unions.
Pertinent to the trade expansion
promised by the wider opportunities
that have been opened to us by reason
of the results of the war, a review of
the worlds commerce is given, and the
low prices of our products is deplOred
and the reason assigned as due to the
lack of an expansive currency.
Among the closing articles of the
book is an analysis of the election re-
turns for 1896. a careful statement of
the abnormal percentage of increase in
the Republican vote in certain states is
produced, and the argument is made
that the results OF the election was a
triumph of fraud

CORPORAL LAU R lie AT ATHARA.
His Uniform Had 1872 Bu1let-holes,
and Only Wounded Slightly.

Aberdeen Journal: Here is a human
document from the Egyptian campaign
which the author of THE Red Badge
of Courage" might have written. 1t is
from the pen of a simple non-commis-
stoned officer-COrporal Laurie of the
Seaforth highIanders, whose name was
officially included, by mistake, in the
list of wounded. Informed of this fact,
the corporal wrote to his family in the
following strain: of course, you will

clothes riddled with bullets, and yet,
notwithstanding the official account,
without a wound. When attacking the
entertainments l had to congratulate
myself on my habit of wearing boots a
size too big, as both my shoes were
torn to pieces by bullets. Almost at the
same moment a bullet smashed the
wooden stock of my gun. which

my comrades, and was quickly en-
gagged with two hideous niggers, who
finished my undressing by sicing my
jacket with their lances. A bullet tick
