THE DUKE SEES AN OPENING.
Orleans Issues Manifesto Denouncing the
Dreyfusites.

Paris, September 19.-The Duo Dor
leans has issued manifesto denouncing
the Dreyfusites. The manifesto begins
thus:
cat last the promoters of the odious
plea against the honor and security of
the fatherland have thrown off their
mask. Intimidated by them, the minis
tors have lowered themselves SO far as to
become their accomplices.
The Due D'Orlsans accuses the ministry
of seeking a revision Of the Dreyfus pro.
ceedings, while convinced that Dreyfus
was guilty. under pretext of calming the
public for their own profit.
He declares that the prospect makes
his heart CULVER and concludes his mani
festo in these words:
''Fren nchmen, we are masters in our
own country. Your servants, subject to
occult and pernicious powers, presume
to impose upon you the will to which
they submit under pretext of proving
the innocence of a man whom the mill
tary tribunals have condemned as a
traitor.
''It is the army they are trying to de-
stroy and France they are striving to ruin.

COMMiSS SSIONsRS ASHORE.
Evacuation Board At Cuba Now Installed
in Hotel.

Havana, September 19.-All the mem-
bers of the American evacuation COM
mission, came ashore from the steamer
Resolute this morning and. ARE now in
stalled ut the Trotcha hotel at Vedado.
All are well. Major Allison sprained his
ankle, but the injury is not important.
Rear Admiral Luis Paster Landere,
captain of the port, who was originally
elected member of the Spanish evacu-
alton commission, has, owing to sickness,
been replaced by Admiral Manterola, and
will sail for Spain tomorrow, owing to
his i'll health.
Senior Fernandez de Castro, civil gov
ernor of Havana, is indisposed and did
not come TO his office today.
Capt Gen. Blanco has ordered that the
oontiscation of the few cattle remaining 6
in the island shall be suspended in the
Matanzas province, where it threatened
to become a death blow to all possible
work in the fields. The necessity that
similar steps be taken in Pinar del Rio
and other provinces, is imperative, the
crops having been ruined or the work
of gathering them delayed through lack
of oxen. Adyices from the interior re-
port that hospitals are being established
on many estates and that relief commit
tees have been organized in several towns
and villages to attend to the require
msnts of the Cuban troops who are In a
sad condition.

A pREARY PICTURE.
Cuba Said to be Fast Drifting Into
Anarchy.

London, September 20.-The Times this
morning publishes a letter from Havana
correspondents, in which the writer points
out that, Though, as in the mother
country, there appears no disposition
among the Spaniards in Cuba to attempt
pronounciamento, the soldiers and
civilians alike having accepted the
disaster and it's consequences with
dreary fatalistio calm, the island is fast
drifting into condition of anarchy. In
surgent bands, the correspondent says,
are enjoying imm unity in the commission
OF outrages and plundering, and this ls
especially true in the western provinces.
where the insurgents bitterly complain
that ghey have been ignored and
abandoned by the United States, and, be-
ing left utterly destitute. can only savs
themselves from starvation by rapine.
Without food, medicine and clothing,
they are dying like flies, and unfortuna-
tely, 1t is the best element among the in
surgents that are suffering most severely.
Z The Times in an editorial article, draws
attention to these difficulties facing the
Washington government and to the ad'
visibility that the peace conference be not
unduly protracted.
The correspondent relates terrible
stories of anarchy and says the American
government is apparently attempting to
suppress the truth. AS an instance, he
gives the following story which he de-
olares was suppressed by the censor at
Key West:
"a band of insurgents attacked re.
Gently the Provideucia sugar factory, near
Guinez one Of the richest in Cuba. The
guerilla force which the proprietor main
tanned to defend his property until the
arrival of the Spanish troops, was obliged
to surrender because the Spanish troops
now do nothing to suppress lawlessness.
The insurgents invaded the enclosure,
where they found a lot of reconcentra-
dnes They stripped the women naked
and placing them in line, fred from be-
hind them at the guerillas, thus making
it impossible for the defenders of the
factory to return the fire.

SCARED AWAY BURGLARS.
But Boston & Maine Station Agent Got
Shot In Arm for Pains.

Dover, N. H., September 19.-Frank
Bemis, station agent at Madbury, small
place on the western division of the Bos-
ton & Maine railroad, just south OF this
city, was shot by burglars early this
morning and badly. wounded in the arm.
Bemis and several of his neighbors fired
a number of shots at the burglars, but
it Is thought they did not take effect as
the men escaped without. difficulty.
Bemis resides a short distance from the
station. About IL 30 this morning a
burglar alarm in his room which is con-
nected by wire with the station, awak-
ened him. Mr.. Bemis dressed hastily
and called Ephraim Lovekin, Charles
Woodus and Ivory Kelley, three of his
neighbors. AS they neared the station
some one fired a shot which struck MIR.
Bemis in the left arm, badly lacerating
it from the elbow to the wrist.
Three burglars were seen running from
the station up the highway. One OF the
men with Bemis discharged Il rit1s and
one of the others tired two shots from a
revolver at the fleeing men. The burg
lars did not fire any more than the one
shot and had no trouble IN eneotlng
their escape.
1t was found that the burglars had en-
tered the station house through win
dow and had drilled the safe preparatory
to inserting a charge of dynamite. A
package of dynamite was found in the
station. No property is missing.
Mr.. Bemis Is badly wounded, and it Is
said there will be some difficulty in .sav-
ing his arm.

HELD CROWD AT BAY.

Middletown, N. T.. September 10
Joseph Grudinski, a Pole, who escaped
from Goshen jail six weeks ago, was dis
covered in this city yesterday and cap
tured by several officers and two score
citizens, armed with guns and revolvers.
He had three pistols. More than one
hundred shots were exchanged in the
streets and in the suburbs. He hid in
thick underground three miles from the
city and held the crowd increased to 100
men at bay for five hours. He escaped
in the darkness. He climbed tree in
the centre of the thieket to get view of
the pursuers. They perceived and fred
on him. He fell to the ground and con-
tinued steady fire for some time. None
ventured to penetrate the woods until
daylight. A pool of blood was found
today, where he had fallen from the
tree after being shot. No clue has been
found today.

REPORT OF EDUCATION COMMIs-
SIONER,

Washington, September 19.-The an
nual statement of the commissioner of
education has been submitted to Secre-
tary Bliss. The report shows satisfaoto-
ry results for tho work of the year end
ing June 80, 1898.
One case of congratulation on the part
of these who hold that popular educa-
tion is the safeguard of our American in
stitution, is. says the report, the contin-
ued prosperity of the elementary schools.
The increase during the year of 1S96-97
amounted to 1881 pupils over the pre-
vious year. The total enrolled in ele-
mentary schools amounted to Is. .452, 426
pupils.
Adding to it those in colleges, univer-
sites, high schools and academies, the
total number reached 16, 255, ,0o3,
A still greater occasion for congratula-
ton, it is stated, is the increase of stu
dents in colleges and universities.
This increase has gone on steadily for
twenty-five years, In 1872 only $50 per-
sons in the million were enrolled il those
institutions. In 1897, the number has
risen to 1,21S in the million.

MESSAGE FROM GEN. GORDON.

Reynolds, Ca, September 19.-Gen.
John B. Gordon, commander-in-chiefo of
the Confederate Veterans, today issued
the following order:
''To the United Confederate Veterans
The commanding general with sor-
row which no words can express, an
nounoes the death Of Miss Winnie Davis,
the idolized Daughter of the Confed-
eracy." The boundless enthusiasm which
was evoked by her every appearance at
our reunions indicated the depth of affec
tion and the unfeigned admiration which
all Confederates felt for her. 1t Is not
too much to say that the oyations with
which she has everywhere been greeted
by the ex-soldiers of the Southern armies,
were such as have rarely been accorded
any woman. Their grief at her untimely
death will be a profoun and poignant
as their love for her while living was
universal and sincere and their most
affectionate sympathies are with the
grief-stricken mother. The command
ing general directs that the department
and division commanders select delegates
and escorts of honor as they Tuay deem
proper to represent the united Confederate
veterans and to accompany the remains
to the formal resting place.
By order of
J, B. Gordon, General Commanding.
George Morgan, Adjutant General.

TRIsD.To POISON AGeY.
An Attempt To Assassinate the Philippine
Leader.

An Attempt To Assassinate the Philippine
Leader.
Manila, September 19.-The Republican
Filipino asserts that an attempt was made
to poison Aguinaldo on Friday. A
steward, it is added, saw Spanish
prisoner who had been allowed his free
dom, make movement which appeared
like tampering with the bowl OF soup in
tended for Aguinaldo. The steward tasted
a spoonful of the soup and died. Eleven
of the franciscan friars are said to have
been in the conspiracy. The populace 1t
is further said, attempted to lynch all the
Spanish prisoners but Aguinaldo inter-
Yened.
At Saturdays session of the national
assembly, it appears, Aguinaldo was an' :
sent. but his representative related the
story of the outrage to the member, who
unanimously adopted the chairman's pro-
posai bhat they all go to Aguinaldo's
mouse, express sympathy with him and
congratulate him upon his escape. During
the evening special Thanksgiving service
was heid In the church at Malolos.
The soup Intended for Aguinaldo is
now subjected, 1t is stated, to chemical
apaiysls before being presented to him,
and the spanish prisoners are kept closely
confined.

BY SMOKE AND FOG.

Chicago, September 19.-The dense

long list of disasters to vessel men and
marine underwriters. The smoke is ac-
companied by northwest gale, on both
Lake Michigan and Lake Superior Tie
case of the smoke seems to be unknown,
as no fires have been reported along
the upper lakes, and it is believed tina &
the smoke has come from fires in the far
northwest several hundred miles distant

ANOTHER SIDE TO STORY.

American Officers Trying to Make Reputa-
tions at Expense of Insurgents.
London, September 20.-The Hong
Kong correspondent of the Daily Mail
says:
"The Philippine congress has favorably
impressed the Europeans who have wit
messed it's proceedings. 1t is believed that
it's deliberations will result in petition
to President Mckinley to establish pro-
tectorats.
"The attitude of the American army
officers towards the insurgents is causing
much unfavorable criticism among
Europeans who have returned from Ma
Mia. They blame their almost criminal
ignorancesof the native character and
their elementary ideas of colonizing. The
officers seem determined upon winning
glory at the expense of the insurgents by
Matching imaginary revolts. Aguinaldo
has obeyed every order, whether accom-
panied by threats or not. One 1nsurgent
chief at Pasay declined to move and
Aguinaldo asked General Otis not to pro-
ceed against him for four days. so as to
give him an opportunity to interview
him.
ga British naval officer who has just
returned from Manila, says: What is
needed is force acquainted with the
Asiatic character. America does not seem
to utilize the material she has at hand.
Every one is surprised that Mr.. Williams,
United States consul at Manila. was not
sent to Paris instead of lot of staff
officers who know little of the Philip
pines. 1 am satisfied that if Consul
General Wildman, who has lived among
the Malays and is familiar with British
colonial methods, were given power, he
could arrange everything satisfactorily
with Aguinaldo. 1t Is suicidal folly on
the part of America that he has not been
ordered to Manila long ago.

BIG SHOE STRIKE ON.
Lasters Of Broekton Shops Qit Their
Work.
MANUFACTURERS REFUSED TO
SIGN UNION PRIZE LIST.

Claim They Cannot Do 1t and Compete
With the Shoe Manufacturers of Au-
bnrn-Strike Threatens to be One of the
Largest In History of Business.
Brockton, Septem ber 19. The big strike
of lasters for the new price list submitted
a week ago, commenced at two O'Clock
this afternoon, and unless some settle
nent is speedily made, it will eclipse the
famous "42" strike of several years ago.
which crippled Brockton. The present
strike. if the programme is carried out,
will extend over southeastern Massaohu
setts. Every laster in the forty -one shops
of this city which were supplied with
lists, understood that they were to come
out today If the list was not accepted by
the firm, and to report to the union head.
quarters. AS result, before $50 o'clook
the hall was crowded with men who had
responded, and glance showed that very
few men had stayed in where lists had
not been accepted. The strike IS fairly
general all over the city, and but few Of
the smaller firms have conceded to the de-.
mands.
The answer TO the call las been very
gratifying to the labor leaders who now
predict that other manufacturers will sign
who were waiting to see what action
would be taken. They have found the
men to be in earnest and will signLto save
their business. On the. other hand many
of the larger manufacturers who have re-
fused to adopt the list. declare they will
remain firm and that the men will suffer
by their enforced idleness as much as
they do.
There are many workmen scattered in
the various shops who are waVering and
undecided as to what action they will
take Both sides claim that these men
will side with them now that they see the
condition of affairs.
Very few Of the manufacturers will talk
at all, but those who have as rule are
among the number who will not accept
the list. There are number Of firms that
declare it an impossibility to do business
and pay the prices demanded. They have
to compete with the shops of Au burn,
Maine, and at best secure but small
margin. With the new list they would
not be able to compete as all.
There Is every indication at the present
time that compromise will be effected
in some places that will make the strike
but a matter of a few days to them.
Others will hold out to the end.

plan is to have two of the colliers proceed
the battleships and two to go along with
them. In addition to these escorting
craft. Acting Secretary Allen today or
dered that the Celtic and the Iris be added
to the expedition. The Celtic is a refriger-
ator and supply ship and the Iris is dis.
ttll1ng ship. Their capacity is enormous
and Mr.. Allen said that no such perfectly
equipped naval expedition ever sailed
under any flag, With their large reserve
supply of coal, with an abundance of re-
frigerated fresh meats and vegetables,
with appliances and plant for making re-
pairs to machinery and finally with an
abundance of fresh water, the squadron
will be able to keep the seas for an indef
