Mutfnous Turkish Soldiers Terrcriaae
 Beirut, Syria.
 CONSTANT Jan. 1S.-Muti- nous Turkish troops have been terroriz- ing Beirut, Syria, for several days. The mutfneers, who number about 1900 nen, were landed on Jan. Il from Ye- men, Arabia. and immediately besieged the governors palace, demanding the payment of about $S0.oO0 in arrears and threatening otherwise to sack the town.
 The governor succeeded in paeifying the men and made them daily small advances borrowed from the branch of the Ottoman bank until the bank was closed owing to it's being holiday.
 The latest accounts received here said the mutineers were threatening to sack the bank. ...-.~.e..
 The United States armored cruiser Brooklyn, flagship of the European squadron, commanded by Rear Ad- miral Cotton, according to the latest report, is available at Beirut, where she arrived Jan. 4 from Alexandria. The cruiser San Francisco sailed from Alex andria on Jan. 8 for Aboukir bay, thir- teen miles from Alexandria.

BRYAN A DELEGATE.
Bt. Louis Democratic Convention

Bit. Louis Democratic Convention
 Will Hear the Nebraskan.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-William J. Bryan will be delegate to the next Democratic national convention. This Is the announcement of his supporters in Nebraska, who are absolutely in con- trol of the Democratic state organiza- ton.
 The presence of MT. Bryan in the convention will make him the acknowl- edged spokesman of that part of the Democratic party which has dominated its policy since 1896, and it is likely that under the two-thirds rule which prevails in the Democratic body no man can be chosen as the candidate for president whose nomination would be regarded as an affront to him.
 A majority of the Democratic nation al committee at their session in Wash lngton expressed the opinion that MT. Bryan would not only be powerful enough in the coming convention to name the candidate and dictate the plat form, but to veto any action of the ma jority as to a candidate offensive to him and his followers.

FORCE IS TOO SMALL.

Minister Powell Had to Refuse 0vv-
 ing to His Weak Guard.
 SANTO DOMINGO, Jan. 1S The revolutionary General Navarro having seized cattle on an estate at La Fe, which is an American property, the agent of the estate applied to United States Minister Powell for protection. The minister was compelled to refuse the request, as he had no force at his command sufficient to guard the estate.
 The force on the United States gun boat is too small to safeguard estates from pillagers, and in order to protect United States property there is great need of larger warship here. If the revolutionists should enter the city just now it would be impossible to prevent the pfllage which would be sure to take place. and there is no other warship here to support the Newport should it be found necessary to land men.
 There was continued firing around the city. A shell from the enemy's camp has entered a private dwelling and injured q child. .-~..,...,. .-.,s.-s..-
 There is great misery and suffering among the poorer classes.

AN ICY BATH.
Eighteen Excursionists Have Narrow
 Escape In Mammoth Cave.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Jan. 1S.-Elght- cen delegates to the convention of the National League of Commission Mer- chants were thrown into the icy water of Echo river, which winds through Mammoth cave, and were saved only by the coolness of the guide, John Eel- son, and the heroic work of Charles A. Muehlbronner of Pittsburg.
 The roof of the cave over Echo river is arched, and the space in the center, owing to an unaccountable rise in the river, was only two and & half feet above the water. In order to insure the passage of the boat the men and women were forced to stoop over. At one place the boat swerved to one side. raking the heads of the persons in the boat next to the bank. These leaned farther forward to escape striking their heads. This lowered one end of the boat, and the water began to flow in rapidly. The guide saw the danger and called to Mir. Muehlbronner to jump and take the chain. This he did, land ing on steep bank, which offered only a slight foothold. Lying down on his. face, he held to the chain and pulled the boat toward the bank
 The boat sank in eight feet of water, but farther back, where there was no landing, the water is eighteen feet deep.
 By the light of single lantern the party escaped by climbing over MT. Muehlbronner's prostrate form and aft CT waiting several hours for boat were brought in safety to daylight
