HALIFAX, n. s., Oct. 23.-Tugs which
have been endeavoring for hours to
reach a large square rugged vessel ashore
on Thrumpcap Shoals, about a mile and
a half from here, have abandoned the
effort to save the crew of the unknown
craft. The vessel was discovered on the
rocks at daylight this morning, having
gone ashore in the heavy gale last night.
Only the masts are visible from shore and
five have been counted on the masts of
the stranded steamer. At first the vessel
was thought to be a fishing bark.

Graham, an officer in the Yeoman Cav
airy Regiment in England, branch of
the service which corresponds to the
militia in the American military es-
adjustment, who has been visiting

forms a part, TO return to England at
once to prepare for military duty

In an interview with one Of the leading
newspapers in Havana has made all
sorts Of charges against Garcia and the
Americans, but the censor would not
allow an account of the interview to
be published, fearing that it might give
rise to disturbances.
A secret circular has been sent to the
presidents of all the Cuban patriotic
committees denouncing a large number
of Cubans who are looked upon as
traitors to the cause Of Cuban indie
pendence and are charged with being
attached to the Americans. The cir
cular recommends a vigorous contest
against not only Spanish residents, but
against the Americans as we'll, who
are endeavoring to steal the Cubans'
victory
The Spanish Colonel Cervera, Mill
tary Governor of Mariana, pays daily
visits to the insurgent camps in his dis
trict, advising the Cubans not to sur
render their arms and to make resist
ance until the independence of the
island is declared. Colonel Ceryera is
an intimate friend of General Parade,
president Of the Spanish Evacuation
Commission.
During the last two weeks several
hundred Remington carbines and large
quantities of ammunition have been
sent from Havana, it is presumed, by
some of the Spanish chiefs.
The Spanish residents, manufac-
turers, merchants and planters are
somewhat alarmed and criticize In Sc
we're terms the behavior of some of the
Spanish chiefs, who, it is alleged, are
acting suspiciously in many places and
are working in favor of Cuban indie
pendence, advising the Cubans to per-
sist in their revolutionary attitude For
this reason many of the Spanish resi-
dents here have written long letters to
friends in Madrid in order that the
home Government may be acquainted
with what is happening in the islands,
and have requested that on behalf of
SPANS interests and the part of the
Spanish residents the evacuation may
be completed as soon as possible, so as
to avoid prolonging the existing dan
gerous condition of affairs.

CORNING, Iowa, Oct. 23.-The long
est lived and undoubtedly the most
nearly successful experiment ever made
in the Western Hemisphere with pure
communism, came to an end, when,
late yesterday afternoon, Judge H. NJ.
ToWner in the District Court entered
an order discharging the receiver of the
New Icarian Community. and formally
declaring the business of the commu-
nifty wound up.
Etienne CADET, scholar historian.
agitator, sociologist and philanthropist,
who two generations ago was stirring
France with his socialistic and cOmmu-
nistic writings; who contributed much
toward melting the revolution Of 184S,
Of which he was afterward historian;
contemporary and co-worker of Proud
hon in behalf of the poor and oppressed
of France, and finally, exiled from his
own country, was the founder of the
community which, after an existence
of almost half a century, came to an
end yesterday.
CADET, scientific communist, tried to
found his first colony in France, but
the Government of Louis Philippe was
opposed to such experiments, and its
opposition forces to the 1carians, as adj
herents of the new communistic doc
trines called themselves, to go to the
new world. The Icarians went first
to Texas, where they were offered an
area as large as a good-sfzed French
department for experiment. The en-
issaries, after looking over the pros
pect, decided against it, and went, back
to New Orlenas. Here they were Joined
by others, and at last, when the Nor
mons left Nauvoo, Illinois, the lcari-
ans. who had bought the old Mormon
holdings, secured from the Illinois Leg
islature a charter granting special priv
ileges and immunities. About 2U0O
French enthusiasts joined them, CADET
at their head. He was practically die
tator of the community: for years no
question was raised as to his authority,
and so long as he was in charge all
went we'll. The community grew and
prospered and there was peace and
plenty.
Discussions arose, however, and Ca
bet decided to 90 farther West, and in
1853 1000 acres were secured near this
city, where new Icaria was established.

soldiers by furnishing them with good
and plentiful rations. Many soldiers
until recently were deserving, but Gen
eral Blanco's decree regarding disband-
ment has put a stop to the OBJECTIONS.
Over 5000 soldiers have been mustered
out since the issuance of the decree.
The sanitary brigades of Havana.
Guanabacoa, Regla and Gunes. with
several other localities in Havana
province. have petitioned General
Blanco that they be disbanded so that
they may remain in the island. Some
of the engineer brigades have also
asked for their discharge. The greater
part Of them are composed of the best
drilled soldiers. Over 400 of the 700
members of the Orden Publico at Ha-
vana have also asked that they be mus
tered out in order that they might re-
main in Cuba, so per cent of the civil
guards in the island have made SINH
lar request. None of the artillerymen,
however, have asked to be allowed to
remain. The reason for this is said to
be that the artillery chiefs maintain an
honest administration, and that the
soldiers are well supplied with food and
clothing and are paid up to date.
About fifty Cuban patriotic clubs have
been organized in Havana under the
management in a large majority Of
cases by physicians, lawyers and other
professional men. Many of the mem
bers Of some of these clubs attended the
first meetings wearing the Cuban and
American flags crossed. The presiding
officers of several of the clubs, noticing
the insignia in the buttonholes of the
coats of members, ordered that in fu-
ture only the Cuban flag should be
worn. In many instances this order was
complied with.
Cuban General Reeo has arrived at
Havana from Puerto Principe and is
preachin- in the Havana cafes and the
insurgent camps near the city a holy
war against the Americans. He has in
terviewed many of the leaders Of the
Cubans and has urged the carrying on
Of the war against the Americans if
independence is not at once granted to
Cuba.

rived at Havana from the east, and Is

after leaving the house where the first
tragedy was committed the negroes
scattered through the surrounding
country.
A reliable telephone message was re-
ceived at a late hour tonight that three
more negroes were found and killed,
making total of nine killed to-day,
with about forty more to be heard
from. Sheriff Stevenson, realizing the
danger apprehended, Immediately wired
Governor McLaurin at Brandon for aid
in quelling a probable widespread dis
turbance. Upon receipt of his telegram
the Governor wired Adjutant General
Henry w. Jackson to get together
company of the National Guard and
proceed to the scene upon the first
train. General Henry Immediately re-
sponded that there was no National
Guard obtainable, but he would get to-
gether company of armed men and
render all necessary assistance.
In the meantime the Governor Sc
cured a special train at Brandon and,
accompanied by a posse Of thirty men,
proceeded to Forest. Arriving here
early in the evening and finding that
there was little danger of the riot as
Stunning proportions beyond the ability
of the posse on hand to keep in bounds,
he wired General Henry that it was I'M
necessary for him to bring his volun-
teers from Jackson.
The posse is operating in the swamps
about a mile from Harpersville, where
most of the fugitives are supposed to
be concealed. There is a message here
to the effect that the citizens are ap-
prehensive of armed negroes entering
the town tonight, and guards will be
set to prevent a surprise. The Gov
ernor and Mr. Henry are naturally
counseling moderation, but in the ex-
cited state of the public mind a general
fear is expressed that the public will
not regard the suggestion favorably.
Their presence will have a good effect
in restraining the number of fatalities
after enough negroes have been killed
to satisfy the outraged feelings in that
section.

Great discomfort prevails among the
Spanish troops because of non-pay-

others for even eight months, and the
soldiers fear that they will be embarked

SITUATION HAS AN
OMNIBUS OUTLOOK

LONDON, Oct. 24.-The French yell
low book on Fashoda seems to indicate
an intention of the French Government
TO utilize the Marchand affair as
means Of raising the whole Egyptian
question. This impression is confirmed
by the comments of most of the Paris
papers this morning.
The London press admits the gravity
Of the situation revealed by the yellow
book, but the papers are unanimous in
declaring that it is impossible for Lord
Salisbury to consent to any negotiation
until Fashoda is evacuated. AS, how
ever, the French Minister, NJ. del Case,
with equal firmness, declines to with
draw Marchand without previous nego-
tiations, the situation has an ominous
outlook.
The Times in it's editorial said Lord
Salisbury has replied to Baron de Cour-
cePs pretensions with the decision
Baron de Courcel, after long confer
ence with NJ del Case, left Paris for
London yesterday.
According to the Temps, he had an
important conversation with Lord Sal
isbury before he left London, and will
have another on returning there.
Another dispatch from Paris says it
is rumored that he is bringing to Lon
don definite proposals for the eyacua-
ton of Fashoda on condition that
France be granted a Nile outlet on the
River Bahr- Gazal, one Of the tribu-
taries of the Nile, entering 1t about l50
