In Barcelona the students have renewed
their rioting. They invaded the beautiful
botanical gardens and denuded many of

which they carried entwined with the

the university buildings.

STRANGE BUT UNCONFIRMED
STORY.

Chicago, April Is. The Times Hera ID
this morning printed story to the effect
that Charles A. Crandall alias Emanuel
Escadaro, acting under the personal or
ders of Captain General Weyler planted
the mines and torpedoes in the harbor of
Havana, has been arrested in Chicago.
Confirmation of the story is difficult.
Highwood, where the arrest is described
as having taken place, is little hamlet
near Fort Sheridan. No such person as
Crsndall is remembered there. The Balti-
more and Ohio officials in Chicago say
they have no knowledge of Crandall and
his captors going east from Chicago over
the Baltimore and Ohio. Captain Porter
in charge of the Federal secret service
matters in Chicago said he had no knowl-
edge of such an arrest and did not believe
it had taken place.

RECENT IHCEHD!kRY FIRES.
DOWN THE RIVER FARMERS
THE SUFFERERS.
A Large Barn and a Warehouse
Were Burned Yesterday
Morning.

Somebody is engaged in the fiendish
work CT burning farm buildings and res
licences down the river, in the vicinity
of CORTLAND, and if the wretch should
be caught by the farmers of that neigh
borhood he will hardly be in condition
for arraignment before a magistrate
the same day.
About ) o'clock yesterday morning a
large barn on ex-senator Johnston's
place, near CORTLAND. was set on fire
and destroyed, together with about
thirty tons of hay and other things, the
loss amounting to about $1,000. There
was but $500 insurance on the prop
erty.
Shortly afterward a warehouse used
by Henry Elliott of this city and his
partner, located on the river bank,
about mile this side of the Johnston
place, containing about s., 600 worth of
grain, was also set on fire and destroyed.
AT daylight an inspection was made
of both the burned premises and there
was discovered the tracks of a two
wheeled cart, entering and emerging
from both the Johnston and Elliott
places.
Only a week ago the elegant residence
of John Crofton, near Trasks Landing,
few miles south of CORTLAND, was
burned. There was a strong odor of
coal oil noticed at the time, and there
is no question but that the house was
set on fire by an incendiary
There is every reason to believe that
all of these fires We're the work of some
malicious person, or perhaps of several
persons who imagine they have some
grievance against prosperous farmers
along the river

officers Fisher and Maley were sent
to San Francisco yesterday afternoon
by Chief of Police Dwyer to bring hith-
er Critic and the coterie of trainers and
seconds who officiated at the fight the
other night in which young McCarty
was fatally injured. The party will
embrace Critic, Harry Woods, Charles
Feldman, Frank Mcconnell and Frank

himself to Chief Dryer, and was re-
leased on his own recognizance as also
We're Richard Callahan and William
Johnson, members of the club, who re-
spectively managed and refereed the
affair.
Coroner Clark finds that the name of
the unfortunate youth who lost his life
is not McCarty, but James II. Dewitt
of Philadelphia. He had no doubt been
known as Bull McCarty, as it is a
common thing for prize fighters to take
on the names of men who had distin-
guished themselves in the ring, as, for
instance. Young MITCHELL" Young
Jack Dempsey Young Corbett, "
Young Peter Jackson" etc.
The athletic club members We're I'M
doubtedly deceived by Harting, the
man who claimed to be managing
Bull McCarty, and therefore not re-
spOnsble for the imposition.
Yesterday an autopsy was held by
Drs Reith, Henderson, McGettigan,
Sutliff and Nichols on the body of the
deceased They found a blood clot ex-
tending over most of the right side of
the head around the ear. The internal
organs We're all found to be in healthy
condition, and the conclusion of the
doctors was that he died from concus-
sion of the brain.
