Reported That Both Sides In The Struggle
arc Resorilng 10 Them.

According to V. II. Putros, railroad
man, who has arrived at San Francisco,
Cal, from South America, the war now
in progress in Columbia is characteriz-
ed by brutality on both sides. In the
far interior, Putros says, the fedcrals be-
fore being driven out, slaughtered every
person that fell into their hands, except
ing only few women.
At Chinipa a body OF adherents Ct
Marosquin, while rctreatng, came upon
an inn near the town, and took posses
sion Of it. The person in command of
this party was Melton Zubs, who at
present has charge OF the artillery at
Bogota. Theophile Ortiz. son of the
owner OF the inn, was found within and
made prisoner. Having ascertained thai
the young mans father was rebel, Zu
bia ordered him to be tortured. He was
finally, according to Putros, impaled by
his chin on hook driven to the door,
and his hands were nailed to the sides
OF the entrance In this way, after a
series OF struggles, he soon died.

at St. Petersburg, Russia, Wednesday
between 1000 or more students and the

sary OF the emancipation of the seris.
They had collected in and about the
Kasan cathedral on the Novsky pros
pect where mass for the reposc of the
soul OF Gar Alexander II. was being
celebrated.
After the mass the students began
singing and the police gathered in great
numbers. The students were surroun /
ed and driven in a Crowd toward the
city hall not far away and also on the
Novsy prospect. For on special reason
the police began beating the students
and tramping them under the feet 1f

the students until 400 of the latter
were driven into the court yard of the

The sudden death OF Preston B. Allen,
who owned and operated a slavery es-
Enlistment in Anderson county, S. c.,

ports from Anderson say that the ne

city OF Anderson. He owned a stock
ade, where several negroes were confin-

Allen had called on Judge Fowler, the
father OF the system, and was discuss

suddenly Allen fell over dead. The news
spread to the negro quarters and blacks
began to pray and sing Another far

and withdraws her troop when the allies

arrived, Ii Hung Changs statement that

true. According to the facts that have
leaked out at the state department Eng
land, Japan, Germany and probably the
United States. have served notices upon
Russia that unless she withdraws they
will rse their forces to Dust her. The
statement has been couchcd in the
usual diplomatic language, but is none
the less strong on that account Rus
sia has so far made no denial OF her pur-
pose in the far cast and so far as can be
learned she has paid no attention TO tho
demands made by the powers mentioned.
The tension is growing. and England IS
the power that Is forcing matters. All
