TURMOIL IN OLD HAVANA
Police Unable to Prevent Pop
ular Demonstration to Gomez.
TENTH REGULARS CHARGE CROWD
Meanwhile Cuban Assembly Meets at Eel
Cerro and Reit-rates Charges Against
Gomez, While Populace Expresses Its
Disapproval of HIS Removal-Ahrairs
Reach an Acute Stage In the Island.

HAVANA, March 14.-While hundreds
of Cubans were demonstrating yester-
day in honor of Gomez, parading the
streets surrounding the summer palace,
listening to a speech by him and vocif-
erously cheering his utterances with
commingled cries Of sDeath to the
assembly, this body in guarded house
at Ell Cerro, two miles away, con-
tinued the TRADES of Saturday. The
general effect of yesterdays session was
bad. The people say the assembly does
nothing but assail and malign Gomez
and they ask whether it will dissolve
before its members are sent to Jail as
disturbers of the public peace. The
proceedings, however, were not marked
by any disturbance and the meeting was
over at 4:30.
FREDERICK Mora, civil governor Of Ha->
vana, when ne learned Of the prepara-
tions for an outpouring of people in
honor of General Gomez, directed the
police to prevent the parade. They
tried in vain to do so.
There were more than 100 police
within 10 blocks, but they did not act
together. Indeed, they were thoroughly
frightened. One policeman ran to Cen
tral park, where the Tenth regulars
were encamped. The regulars were
sent at double quick to protect the po-
hcemen, and charged down upon q
crowded. 1000. Men, women and chill
dren tumbled over each other in their
efforts to get away. Two minutes later
the streets were cleared for blocks, but
not person was hurt.
Despite the opposition of the police
an immense crowd collected in front of
the residence of Gomez. the summer
palace. and waving more than 500 flags
and banners. General Gomez accom-
panied by many notable persons soon
made his appearance on the balcony and
was greeted by long continued cheering.
Scores Of bouquets were thrown at him.
He made brief speech along the line
of his appeal to the Cuban army and
the people Of yesterday. and expressed
his qualification at such an expression
of approval.
From all over the island come teie-
graphic censures of the assembly and
expressions of loyalty to Gomez and
faith in his motive. Up to late hour
people were congregated in front Of his
house acclaiming the venerable patriot.

Judge Nathan Webb of the L. S.

rendered decision on the case of the
steamship lost November Goth last, or
dering a decree of entire exemption on
the part of the Portland Steamship Com
pany for any liability growing out of
the loss of the Portland and added an
injunction restraining all other legal
proceedings against the company in
other courts. The Judge reviewed the
case very fully and exonerated the com.
pany. the officers and Captain Blanchard
from blame in the premises. II do not

theory of collision. The ocean is
wide, and many vessels were out. i
must hold that she was lost because of
the perils of the sea, and without fault

Death of Robert Mckenzie.

The news received by wire from o.
wego Falls, N. Y, on Friday evening Of
last week, announcing the death of this
exemplary young man On that day at

B., May 10Th. William Mclean went to
visit his neighbor, Alfred Grover, in his
home for an evening, taking along a
bottle of whiskey. The result was Gro
yer stabbed Mclean with butcher
knife so that he died Instantly. Whis-
key is sure death if enough is taken into
the human system, and the violent
deaths caused by its use are legion, but
it is not often that man goes to visit a

r. G. Dun & Co in their Weekly Re-
view of Trade, Saturday, say: Decline
in stocks after death of ex.Gov. Flower
was entirely natural. His personal in
tluence was worth many millions to cor
porations which he chose to join. The
stocks in which he was largely interest
ed were strongly supported and after an
hours weakness in the market and a
very large share of the depression in
industrial stocks had previously appear
ed, Tuesday, owing TO the multiplica-
ton and highly magnified stories of new
combinations in iron and steel.
The shipments of boots and shoes
from the East have been for two weeks
of May, % per cent larger than last year,
and so per cent larger than in 1892.
Higher prices which have been asked
for several months are now more gen
orally paid for mems wear, though most
works are covered by earlier orders for
four months ahead or more. Leather
shows hesitation, dealers apparently
questioning whether the rise has not
been too much, and at Chicago the same
question runs through the hide market,
though advances are slight.
Spectators are doing large business
in wool. They have bought about u
10000 pounds Australian wool in bond
here, as is now reported, and about l.
100000 pounds domestic territory wool
is also said to have been sold for export
about AZ cents clean. The orders for
wooden goods are decidedly better and
although the wooden association is not
yet in operation it seems TO have given a
certain kind of confidence to prices in
the wooden goods department.

Ex-Minster John Barrett, who was
minister under Cleveland to Siam, and
who has been the greater part of the
past year at Manila is reported as saying
that the pamphlet sent out by anti
expansonists were received by our SOL
diers there, either with contempt or ridi-
cule, but some of this literature fell into
other and different hands with different
consequences. He adds: "Some OF
these pamphlets found their way to
Aguinaldo's headquarters, and that gen
tleman saw their value to him in an in.
slant. He had them translated and dis
tributed throughout his army and
among the natives generally. Nothing
could have given them more aid and

Cold Fact.

unn of questions and answers the fol-
lowing, which is doubtless true and will
apply to other places beside Lewiston:
Ques.- do not the officers in
Lewiston enforce the law rs they do 10
Lowell?
Lewiston. B.
Ans.-Simply because OF political
deals and of laxity of public opinion.
Liquor selling is forbidden in certain
places known as kitchen bar rooms, but
rum places on the street Il lursh. This
is destruction of statutes by option of II
lowered suffrage. The financial losses
are enormous that are imposed on gro
GERS, dry goods dealers and merchants
in general by the alarming growth of
intemperance in Maine cities, not to
mention the family and other social ruin
to which folks are so accustomed that
even the horrible fails 10 bother the
larger public. There is no reason save
moral apathy why Lewiston should not
rally to enforce this legal, economic and
moral outlawry of the grogshop.

Adieu to Manila.

Admiral Dewey, left Man lila, Saturday
last, and began his long sail homeward,
half way around the globe. The Adj
mral was given very noisy departure,
the noisiest half hour known In that har-
Dor since the battle little over a year
ago. The event is described in dis.
patches as follows:
The cruiser Olympia, with Admiral
Dewey on board, left here on her home
ward journey to the United States at
o'clock this afternoon. AS she steamed
away the Oregon, Baltimore and Con.
cord fired an admiraPs salute. At the
first shot the band on the fiagship's after
deck played lively air, aud her white.
clad sailors crowded the decks and gave
tremendous cheer.
As the Olympia passed the Oregon, the
crew of that battleship gave nine cheers
for the Olympans, who responded by
throwing their caps so high that dozens
of them were left bobbing in the wake of
the cruiser. Then followed the noisiest
half hour known ia this harbor since the
battle which linked its name with that OF
Dewey.
The din of guns and brass bands echo
ed through the smoke, feet of steam
launches shrieked their whistles, the
musicians of the Baltimore played
Home Sweet Home" her flag signalled
good BY" and those of the Oregon said
pheasant voyage"
The merchant vessels In these waters
dipped their flags, the ladies on the
decks of the vessels of the fleet waved
handkerehiefs, and the great black
British cruiser Powerful, which lay the
farthest out saluted the Olympia. The
latter's band then played "God Save the
Queen and to this the crew of the
| Powerful responded with hearty cheers
for the Olympia.
The last music heard from Admiral
Dewey's ship was "Auld Lang Syne, =
while the guns from the forts at Cavite
and from Monterey, on guard off Para.
naque, too far to be audible, pulled
white clouds of smoke.
The Olympia was disappearing past
Corregidor island when a battery before
the walled city spoke Manila's last word
of farewell
The Admiral is expected to spend
about two weeks at Hong Kong to paint
his ship white and put her in condition
for the long voyage. The itinerary from
Hong Kong is entirely with Dewey and
has not been made public, but he is ex
pected to follow the usual route to New
! York.
There is little doubt bat lively demon,
strations await him all along the route
wherever his ship touches. His reputa
ton is world wide and he is honored
wherever valor is appreciated. 1t will
be a triumphal voyage and grand home
coming.

Fire at North Canaan

About noon, My Il, a fire was starred
by some unknown cause, in the large
tract of forest comprising the northern
part of the town of Canaan. The fire
originated near Lewis camp and about
one half mile east of Parsons and Bur-
riPs steam mill at +. Cornvlle The
long continued drought had made every
thing favorable for conf tgration, and
the heavy northeast wind which was
blowing Mt the time did its best and
soon terrible forest fire was raging,
the smoke OF which was seen for miles
around. The steam mill sent forth its
prolonged notes of alarm and messen-
gers were sent out assistance, which
was quickly responded to. But little
could be done in the woods as no human
power could battle with the monster
dashed to such a fury by the pitiless
breath Of the wind.
The course of the fire was over land
owned by Marcus Parsons and Chas
Nye. which took it through the juniper
swamp dir, city toward Mr.. Nye's build
ings. just before reaching the edge of
the woods the wind changed more TO rhe
east, and turned the course of the fire,
which in reachiJg the open pasture of
Mr.. Nye soon formed line of smoke
and fire along the roadside for forty
rods. At this place a bucket brigade
was formed and by strenuous efforts
successfully held the flames in check
only few rods from the buildings Of
Eben Richards. Night came on, the
wind Iuled and the tired watchers re-
turned t. their homes, feeling thankful
that no lives or homes had been sacri-
feed. The rain VIII ch came twenty-fOur
hours later extinguished the smouldering
fire and relieved the anxiety of any fur
ther danger for the present.
