AMKKICANS Killed and Then Eaten by th* Sadi Indiana, of Mexico. A special from Deming. N. M„ »ay»: John Martin, an American proapector, who has just leturncd after a year's absence In the gold fields of Sonora, Mexico, brings news ot a horrible act of cannibalism which manned in that Kepublle. Nome week* ago a party of five Sadi Indians, a moo clo-ely allied to thu Yaqui trilw, driven to desperation by hunger, ambushed and killed three Americans working in the gold fields In the State Os Sonora, almut IM> mile* south of Hcrmoeilla.

Key West (Fla.) special: Cuban ad- ! .-ices via steamship Olivette, from Havana state that Maximo Gomez has issued a manifesto asking all sympathizer* with the revolutionary cause to leave Havana by the 15th of January. The manifesto was secretly distributed throughout Havana, and added greatly to the excitement already existing in the city. Copies of the manifesto were even tacked on the gates of the palace. The manifesto is taken to mean that Gomez contemplates an attack on Havana after January 15, 189th It is said that the insurgent* will use dynamite in attacking the city, and the manifesto is intended to give Cuban sympathizers an opportunity to save their families and pot table property from the destruction that will ensue. Gomez and his forces have taken Los Palos and Aguaeahe, and are steadily approaching Havana. MASKED MEN Hold Up on Electric Car and a Bloody Fight Follow*. San Francisco special: Four robbers, masked with white handkerchiefs and armed with rifles, held up a Mission street electric car at the Ingleside race track the other night and got avvay with a very respectable lump ot money. They relieved Reuben H. Clark, cashier of the race track I bar, of a bag containing about *1,001). the entire proceeds of the day’s sales. Clark was shot in the foot, and a j>oliceinan in 1 the leg. The other passengers were terror stricken, but not molested. While the hold-up was in progress the robbers kept up a constant tire from their rifles. The bombardment attracted the attention of two policemen who hurried to the scene. Patrolman Joseph fired at one of the highwaymen at short range, and in the duel which followed Joseph was shot in the thigh. The robbers then disappeared and no trace of them has since been obtained. FLANK MOVEMENT. Cuban In*urKent* Out-general the Government. Havana special: Gomez and the insurgent army have turned the flank of the Spanish forces commanded by General t'ampo* in person at Colon and are now well to the vest ward of that place, threatening a quick movement upon Havana. This news from the front has created the greatest consternation here. Ttie insurgents' army is now only about fifty miles from Havana and the Spanish authorities seem to have entirely lost their heads. At this rate the insurgents will be in front of Havana very soon, if they have obtained control of the railroads from here to Matanzas, which seems not impossible, as they were only a few miles from Matanzas when last heard from, and they were moving rapidly westward. Spaniard* Defeated. A special from Key West, Fla., says: Advices received by the Cuban leaders via Olivette confirm* the reports of the capture of the town El Boquo by Gomez. With Gomez were Serafin, Aguirre, Sanchez, and Quarez. The Spanish regiments stationed at El Boquc surrendered without firing a shot. All of them were paroled except twelve, who were charged with having ]<oisoned the water in the reservoir of tlie town. They were tried, convicted and shot. After taking all the arms, provisions, etc., found in the town, the insurgents set tb • to it and then left, going in the di ,on of’Quintana and Jovellonos. The-. ,u*o destroyed the sugar plantations n ..i Nan Vicente and LaAntonio. The v«n guard of Gomez forces under tbe command of Lacred lias entered the town of Quintana, between Matanzas and Colon, and destroyed by tire tiie largest sugar plantation on tiie island. Badly Burned. Guard Charles Schilller, of the Ohio penitentiary, was frightfully burned in saving the life of a would-be suicide. He found that Isaac Williams, an Allen County forger, serving one year, had shut otf ventilation by placing a blanket over his cell door and then blew out the gas, hoping to die from asphyxiation. Nchiller dragged Williams out of the cell, and then, hoping to stop the overpowerfuling fumes of gas, threw a lighted match back into tiie cell. Tiie match did not at once ignite the gas, and Schiller poked his head in to see why. He bad scarcely looked in until there was a frightful explosion and the guard was blown some distance away. His face, hair, beard and hands were badly bdVned, but he escaped fatal injury. The prisoner was resuscitated. DiHuatrou* Coat Fleet Wreck, Pittsburgh special: The largest and most disastrous wreck tiie Pittsburgh coal fleet has known in years, was piled up at Merriman* Bar, in the Ohio River,near Glenfield, about ten mile* below Pittsburgh recently, over 850,000 bushels of coal having been lost, and nineteen pieces of loaded sti ff reduced to total wrecks. The wreckage was dynamited and a passage for boats was made. Captain William Martin. United States engineer, said tiie wreck was tiie worst he ever saw. The accidents, however, were not due to negligence on tiie part of tiie pilots, but was one of the tiling* which could not be avoided. Flood Sufferer*. Wagoner (Ind. T.) special: The Grand River flood continues to rise, and now averages a depth of 70 to 80 feet in the channel, and great desolation is being caused. Houses, wagons aud farm animal*

'of all descrlpllon* are scon floatlng down ' the nirrent. Nome men and women wore found in tree tops, where they had been j for 3fl hour* without shelter and food. ' They were rescued by a party in boats. I tine woman was seen in a wagon Imx going dow stream, calling for assistance, lint so rapid was tiie cunent that nothing could be done for her. Wage* Go Up. Uniontown (Pa.) special: Following l tho notice to tll« Ifi.IMM coke worker* employed by 11. C. Frick A Co., of a ten ! |ht cent, advance in wages after the first I <>( tiie year, the announcement to made by I W. J. Rainey, that he would also advance 'the wages of his A.OOO employes |u |*r I vent. The past three month* have Imcn | the busiest in the history of the coke trade. Out of 17,'.»47 ovens in the region, 18,fill are in operation and the prospect* are that 1 more oven* will be tired. Tho advance in wages will enable the men to make the highest w age* ever paid in the coke region. Fatuity Shot. As tho eastbound B. andO. 8. W. freight train was leaving Athens recently, under charge of Conductior John McGraw, three desperate-looking tramps boarded unobserved until tbetraln was in motion. Upon reaching t’anaanville, <>., the first station, seven miles distant, tho train hand*, accompanied by the conductor, order the tramps off tho train. They refused. and one of their number fired tho contents of a revolver at McGrow, which took effect in the face, producing a serious, if not fatal, wound. The three tramps were arrested. Salisbury at Work. The London Daily News publishes a dispatch from Vienna stating that Lord Nalisburg, the British prim • minister, is negotiatiny with France and Holland with a view to adopting common action against the policy of President Cleveland. Spain, the dispatch adds, has already assured Great Britain of her agreement with the letter on the question. It is believed that Great Britain. France, Holland and Spain will form a quadruple alliance to protect their Ameiican prossesion against tho United Stales. Looking for Trouble. The National, of Madrid, advocates an entente between Spain and tiie United States regarding Venezuela on the ground I that Venezuela is merely contending for the same right against England that Spain used to claim when all the Spanish Amerirepublics were her colonies. The London Standard prints a dispatch from its Madrid correspondent saying the article in the National was evidently inspired and that it has caused a sensation. After Thirty Year*. In Jamestown, Va.. a young man named Lawrence used a shell that had been fired by a federal gun boat during the war. to prop a boiler in which he was heating water. The shell, though it had lair alwut the tarm for thirty years, exposed to rain, exploc d, and the young man was su horribly mangled that his recovery is regarded as almost impossible.

The United States is a broad and busy country.«nd it is well supplied with excellent journals, says tiie Forum. A* is natural and unavoidable, tliese generally lake their tone in treating dramatic affairs from those of the metro|>olis. What is said and done in New York about plays and actors is published all over the union as quickly as the wires and press can spread the news ('onsequeutly the theatrical business of the entire country Is manag'd from New York. That is why actors, managers and Vie minor persouages of stage life flock to New York. That is why for many years past it has been possible for the wily speculator In rotten dramatic luuil*er to set up a flimsy stage structure, held together only by the adhesive qualities of paint and printzTs’ Ink, and-—by keeping a New York theater open and empty for !to exhibition for a stated term of weeks at the exismso of $3,000 or s4,*Xt a week, and by a continual postering of the good-natured Journalist—to obtain a sufficient amount of notice of his “groat New York success!" to enable him to travel throughout the country with his “show,” and gather a rich harvest from those who are eager to see What sort of plays please the people of the great city. Os course the “show” soon falls to pieces from the weight of Its own and the seeds of general contempt for New York’s good taste in theatrical matters are sown broadcast. Hut no matter. The enterprising speculator, now well in funds, returns to New York and is soon upon the full tide of another like venture. Year after year this sort of thing goes on. But the people of the East, South’a nd W est are becoming wise and wary. T‘>e “busineM” Is not so good now as It once wm In those often-deluded sections. One of the roots of our theatrical troubles upon which the ax should fall quickly aud shandy Is this abuse of the press courtesy first extended In good nature toward the struggling artist, luit now demanded as a right by the brass-band “show boomer.” Our hardest baUles are those we tight with ourselves.
