Winfield, Kan, Feb. 13.-Rev- Charles
Lowther led a mob Of 200 men and Wo-
men in a raid at an early hour today
on Schmidts saloon. and attempted to
brain the proprietor with an AK.
Before the mob entered the place,
some Of them fired a half dozen shots
with shotguns through the front door
that started a general onslaught with
rocks and guns on the windows and
doors.
Emma Denny received a pistol BAH
in her face and was slightly hurt
Although this was an accident, it
served to enrage the mob and the cru
saders swarmed into the saloon.
There they found Charles and Henry
Schmidt After driving them from the
building through the rear door, the
mob created havoc right and left
Cigar cases, mirrors and pictures
We're smashed and those that could not
be reached with axes We're shot fun Of
holes The mahogany bar was hacked
TO splinters, bottles were broken ana
barrel ends knocked in. This was the
work Of but few minutes.
Axes and Revolvers Used.
The Schmidts ran to the front door
and attempted to defend their property.
1t was then that Rev. Mr.. LOwther
prevented Chrales Schmidt from enter
ing the place by striking him with an
ak.
The blow was a glanciug one and
made only a scalp wound.
As he fell to the ground, Henry
Schmidt drew q, revolver in defense of
his brother, and this nearly cost him
his life.
One of the crusaders, following up
the preachers attack. had raised an
ak to strike Henry Schmidt y hen
companion wrested the weapon from
his hands.
TIE greatest excitement followed the
raid and for d time serious trouble
seemed likely and the mayor called a
special meeting Of the council to plan
means OF quelling the disturbance and
providing against further outbreaks.
Tonight he decided that az joints
must close Immediately.
Bloodshed is Feared.
3 mass meeting is being held tonight
ard an attack on the other joints IS
expected before morning The jointsts
aEe defiant and blOOdshed is feared.
This mornings attack was decided
upon at a secret meeting held IN the
Baptist church last night
The crusaders, who included a num-
Der OF students from the Methodist
college at Winfield, met at the church
by Encouragement this morning and
marched directly To SChmidts place,
beginning the assault without the least
warning.

Disturbances in Madrid.

Madrid. Feb. 13.-At nightfall every
approach to the Puerta Del Sol was
damned with the idle pOpulace. Iu-
sulting remarks were hurled at the pc
lice and the civil guard. A trumpeter
sounded a charge, which was made
with swords drawn.
Heads were not spared, many per
sons were injured and there were nu-
merOus arrests.
The scattering crowds sought the
shops and hotels. Ali the front doors
Of the Hotel de Paris We're smashed in,
a great crowd assembling there The
police and guards charged into the
streets, but the dispersed thrOngs
quickly reassembled.
As was anticipated, the. funeral of
Don Ramon de CampOamOr. the poet
and philosopher. was attended with Sc
rious disturbances. The weather was
beautiful and enormous crowds gath
cred along the route taken by the fu-
neral cOrtege.
Considerable disorder marked the
passage of the procession, but the
troops stood at strategic points and
prevented any very formidable out
break until the end Of the city was
reached. At that point the demOnstrat-
Ors. who included many students,
raised the cry of Long live liberty, 80
and, having broken up into small par
ties, proceeded to various parts of Ma
drid to renew the demonstration.
One band of students EtOned a con-

the sale of the old custom house.

rates, and in very many cases the
maximum would be absolutely pTohlD-
tive on American exports TO Russia
IT is said al the state department that
this is the situation today, and that all
that can be done is to wait for the next
move on the part of Russia
The one event that might change the
situation in a manner to wipe out the
issue is a decision by the United states
courts to the effect that the Russian
sugar is not bOunty-aided, and 1t IS
stated that every opportunity viii be
afforded by the treasury officers for the
speediest possible determination of that
question through a test case upon the
first Inn or alton of Russian sugar
Reciprocity Commissioner Kasson
was asked today as to the current re-
ports that commercial war between
Russia and the United States might be
precipitated by the determination of
this government to collect a sum equal
to the bounty on exports of Russian
sugar. As the presidents plenipoten-
tiary, RIr. KassOn has had charge or
the negotiations with foreign govern
ments relative to the reciprocity trea-
ties and the payment of sugar bounty
by Russia has been one of the ques-
tiOns arising in the course OF the
negotiations. Mr.. KasSOn said the OBJ
iect of Mr.. Gage was to secure hnal
ruling on the matter which would De
termine the policy
Mr. Kasson regards the secretary s
action as most cOnciliatOry and as the
only course leading to a final settle
ment. and he hopes that Russia viii
see it in that light and will await the
determination of the courts. He de-
clared that it is much to the interest
of Russia to secure a final determine
ton. The chances are equal that the
decision will be in favor of Russia.
Russia has a regular tariff schedule,
but by commercial treaties reduced
rates are granted certain countries Al
though the United States has no re-
cipr0city treaty with Russia, she has
given il the benefit of the reduced
rates and American exports to Russia
have been increasing

III KANSAS.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The state de-
pertinent and the treasury department
are being deluged with kilograms from
vast business interests protesting
against the imposition of the counter
vailing duty on sugar imported from
Russia. Nearly all of the correspond
ents urge that such action on the part
Of the United States viii prove Tuinous
to American export trade with Russia,
which already has attained large pro-
portions, with promise of an increase in
the future, as the Siberian railroad and
new trans-PaCIhc steamship lines are
opened M.
Inquiry at the departments named
shows that the secretary of the treas
ury took this step, as set out in his
letter yesterday, with great reluctance,
and only after the most patient investi-
cation into the merits of the case. Tt
was fully realized that the result of
the decision to impose the differential
duty would injuriOusly affect the Amer
lean trade in agricultural implements,
machinery, railway material and roll
ing stock, and of the other great
staples of export to Russia But it ap-
peared that there was no way out OF
it if the law was to be enforced, and
the secretary was obliged to negative
the Russian contention that the Rus
sian government actually paid no
bOu1ty on export sugar such as would
subject it to the United States Coun-
tervailiug duty. Attorney General
Griggs, however, decided that the Rus
sian government practically paid a
bounty on export sugar, and Secretary
Gage was obliged to instruct the treas
uTy officials to collect ar additional
duty on Russian sugar amounting to
the bounty. which is calculated at a
little less than i cent per pound.
The Russian government has given
notice that If the attempt is made by
the United States to lay this counter
vailing duty, it must respond by impOs-
ing the maximum tariff rates upon
American exports to Russia. The Unit
ed States is now enjoying the minimum

'KINLEY TRIES
TO GEORGE CUBA
Makes Demands on COnsti-

WANTS RIGHT TO
MAINTAIN TROOPS
Other Conditions Are Imposed
on Island Government.

New York, Feb. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
As a result of a conference between
President Mckinley and Secretary
Root. supplemental instructions were
sent to General Wood to call atten-
ton of the Cuban constitutional con-
vention to the Importance and neces-
sity of including the requirements of
this government in the constitution.
1t is demanded that the Monroe doc
trine shall be recognized; that Cuba
shall not mortgage the island to any
foreign power; that the United States
be given the right to establish naval
stations at Havana, Guatanamo, N1pe,
CienfugOS and the right TO maintain
at least a part of the present military
forces in the island, and that the United
States shall assist Cuba in maintaining
a stable government
On account of the situation in Cuba
there has been renewed talk of the
probability of an extra session of con-
gress. The president has reiterated his
desire to have congress take action IN
relation to Cuba at the earliest possible
moment, and advices received from
General Wood within the last two days
are said to be of such a character as to
make an extra session practically i'm
perative.
Cuban Planters Sent Home.
The Cuban planters now in Washing
ton trying to have the duty taken on
tobacco imported from Cuba into the
United States and to obtain other mOdi-
fications of the tariff in favor OF Gu
ban products, have been advised to go
home and tell their people it is impOs-
sibIe to grant them any such favors,
/ because until a Cuban government has
! been organized a reciprocity treaty
cannot be negotiated while Cuba mas
nothing to give in return for cOnces-
siOns. and there does not seem to be a
disposition on the part of any one in
/ Cuba to grant any concessions to the
/ United states. An effort is being made
( to use this opportunity to open the eyes
/ of the CubanS to the necessity OF Ia
YOrably considering the demands of the
United States as to the provisions OF
