her home, fired upon her, and wrecked
her house. Gen. Corbin decided to help
the woman. He learned that she was
rot i'm the best of health and it was de-
cided that she had better be taken from
the place to the PottSville hospital To
carry this out the general ordered a
platoon of cavalry to make demon
stration i'm that section and while there
to escort the woman and child to the
railroad station. This WAS done.
The troops rode all over the territory
and found that the polutation was not
in the best frame of mind. The soldiers
were hooted and jeered, but only one
stone was thrown at them.
The Lithuanians who were yester-
day held responsible for the death OF
Joseph Beddall in the riots of last week
were today committed without bail to
the county Jail u Pottsvilie on the
charge of murder. A large number of
other arrests will be made and more
charges of murder will be brought.

Victoria, b. c., Aug. 9.-The elab-
orately QUILTED EXPEDITION which set
sail from here early in January on the
hrigantne Blakely, to search for the
mythical treasure of Cecos island, has
returned like other expeditions which
have visited the island, without having
seen a sign of the treasure of any kind.
The expedition was an utter failure.

all instances except in giving the mem

gold finding instrument, Captains Hack

some gold coin on the beach. 1t failed
to find the coin, and then an unsuccess-

independent of it.
Provisions getting low, it was de-

Thousands of Men Seeking Work in
Cuba-Busines is Dead.


Havana, Aug 9.-The business stu
alton in Cuba is becoming complicated
and deplorable. In Pinar del Rio prov
ince dozens of establishments are clos
ed. In MantanzaS province no work is
being done on the ranches or in towns.
More than 10000 in that province are
seeking work. In Santa Clara province
the country fnen are sacrificing their
work animals in order to eat. In Puer.-
to Principe province no work is beins,
done OH the two principal sugar estates
and all municipal work is stopped. In
Santiago province the former soldiers
aredenanding the payment of army
salaries. as required by the Cuban con-
stitution. All elements thruout the
island are overwhelmingly in favor of
the proposed loans of $4,O00,000 and
$50, 100000 TO relieve the situation, al
tho it is feared that the suggested in
crease of tariff duties so and 100 per
cent on articles of prime necessity
will make it practically impossible for
poor men to obtain the ordinary neces-

Tampa Fla, Aug. 9.--Fourteen SAIL
ors from the Spanish steamship Urqui-
nola. Capt Colan, just arrived at Port
Tampa from Blboa, Spain. left the
ship as soon at it touched the dock and
went before Vicente Guerra, Spanish
vice consul. giving a story of inhuman
cruelty to them by the captain on the
Voyage. They had been compelled to
go at times twenty -four hours With
out food.
one fireman, Frustrated by sickness
and starvation, was beaten in the face
checked into insensibilty, and kicked.
a sick COW on board died, and the cap
tain forced the men to eat of the meat.
Water was allowed only in limited
quantities. The men exhibited bruises
and welts on their bodies where they
had been beaten by orders of the cap-
tain.
The vice consul declared he did not
believe the story. and ordered the men
returned to the ship. They chose 10 go
to Jail rather than go on board. Two of
the men are Italians, and laid their case
before John G;rimaldi, Italian vice con-
sui, who at once took the matter up
with the Italian ambassador at Wash

LETTERS TEN WEARS OLD.
UndeIivered tlissives to Be Returned to
wri}arc


Minneapolis, Aug. 9.-Acting Post
master Hale has received from Post
master Covne at Chicago three wealth
err beatei. dingy envelopes with inclo-
sures mailed ten years ago from Min
neapolis to persons at Chicago in care
of the Sherman house. They viii be
ret lrned TO the senders. one letter Was
addressed to Il clergyman Who left Min
nes polls years ago. The other ad-
dresses are unknown.
Each envelope bears a return card
which will aid in finding the owners of
the stray missives. One is that of a
retail house still in existence, another
of an institution long ago put in the
hands a receiver, the third that of u
former business man of the city.
Postmaster Coyne's letter of advice is
brief. He says: Letters herewith de-
Ilivered at Sherman House about ten
years ago and placed in vault. where
they We're forgotten Some changes
are being made and the mail was UNI
earthed and at once returned to the
postotfice. The receiving postlnarks
are Oct. 16, Oct. Ii and Nov. 9, all of
1892
Another style of Nagary in the transit
was addressed by a Minneapolis man
to Lewiston. Me-. put in a local mail
box and was properly delivered. The
odd circumstance is that the card bears,
not the postmarl of Minneapolis, but of
Damariscotta, Me.
The solution is that a card to Da-
marscotta was mailed at the time to
whic hthe one intended for Lewiston
stuck in some manner until it reached
the town with the bad name, when it
became separated and was stamped.

weeks ago and, altho the son at the time

was murdered was removed yesterday

Springer. discovered a bullet hole in the
back of her head and, probing into the
wound, drew forth bullet of 32-caliber.

Half dozen persons living in the VI

couple left the Mitchell home together.

that he passed the spot earlier in the
night and heard a man and woman
talking somewhere back among the
bushes. Later he, too heard the shrieks
that broke on the night air.

Houston, Texas, December 13.-There was
no change in the cotton market today wor-
thy of comment; In fact, there is nothing to
say, except to reiterste the fact that the
weather and receipts will continue to gov
ern the market. The statistical position
could not be more bullish than It is, and
by all rules of speculation the market
should have advanced materially during the
week Just closed, yet the fact remains that
il has not, which fact leads US TO believe
to depress values now as they were TO sd-
vance them q few weeks ago They may
be forced to accept the inevitable, should
bad weather and light receipts continue.
But should clear weather and receipts in
