TERRELL ANHWERED. I Red I'rua* a* « Hoclcty Will Not It. Admitted to Turkey, . Secretary Olney ha* received from Mr. Terrell, the I nite.l Male* Minister at Conrtanttnople, a cablegram *ajtng that while the porte refuse* jhu mission to the Red ( loss, ot to member* of the lied Cross 1 such, to distribute relief in trmenla. and thereby declines to officially recognize that society, it will permit any ja'rson* whom Mr. Terrell name* and ajiproves, to distribute relief in the interior of Turkey, provided the Turkish authorities are kept informed of what they are doing. This <mieession of the Turkish government materially simplifies the Armenian situation with regard to tt»«- efforts of Mis* Clara Barton ami her assistant* to furnish food and clothing to the suffering people in the jierturlasl districts. In the liscretionary power given Minister Terrell to name |s'r.*ons to make the distribution, the minister will undoubtedly designate Mr-* Barton and the memlau* of her juir’y now on their way to Southampton, but under the stipulation of the porte they must perform their mission as private individual* and not in any sense representing tin 1 humane society to which they belong. No intignia of the Red Cross can be carried into Turkey. The Turkish branch of the society lias the crescent as Its emblem. Blown to Alums. Samuel Angel started from .M. Mary’* ; Ohio, w ith a team of horses, carrying ,20 ■ pounds of nitroglycerin. In thirty mm- ; utes after liis departure every house in the town was shaken, shattering glass in every direction. The accident probably occurred while unloading at Hie store house, and such was the tremendous force of the explosion that not a whole briek of w hlch the building was constructed was found. In every direction for (W 0 feet the ground was colored a reddish hue from the powdered briek. Trees are stripped of their limbs, and what few remain are ghostly reminder* of the frightful occurrence, as bits of human and horae flesh, a* well a* part* of blanket*, harness, and other small articles are hanging from them fully sixty j feet from the ground. Not a piece »o large , as a hand can be found of either man or | animal*, except the head of one horse. The Hurt neo* World. 11. G. Dun A Co'.* Review of Trade says: The week ha* been marked by improve- i meat apparent rather than real. Price* 1 for home products have risen only because j the supplies are believed smaller than ex- | pected. The .senate still injures all business by doing m thing. The treasury cannot expect a gain in gold as yet but the losses are les* than expected. It is generally assumed the new loan will be placed without difficulty though successive pay- : meat.* may cause continued disturbances.

Fiftyfour miners were below the surface when the explosion took place, and. although several of them have reached the surface | w ith the dead laxly of one of their com- | panions, it is supposed that nearly all of ! the remainder were killed. Rescue part ie.* ; hav ■ n hurried to the scene, but their w <.t;. is very dangerous owing to the fact I ...at the jdt is on tire. Whole Family Drowned, Ft. Worth (Texas.) special: News was I received here of the drowning of an entire family in Prairie Dog Fork of the Red River, in Randall County.

insuntents wen- making headway, fore-1 lug their way eaeh week a little nearer i to the political capital. Havana. Then Campus said that winter would see the ; end of the revolution. Winter in Cuba. ' which mean* the rainy season, has come, but the insurgents, instead of Campos. : made progress. They for.’ed their way 1 over six strategic lines of defense eatab- I lished by Cumj»>* and u week ago aj> peered w ithin striking distance of Ha- I vaua. This startled the Spanish Govern- j meat and it has just resolved upon a change of leaders. Gen. Catnjxvs is re- I called and Gen. Weyler. a man who made himself notorious during the last rebellion in Cuba for his cruelty, is nj.pointed to take his place and will sail from Spain to- I day. Gen. Weyler says that he will not ■ follow the more or less humanitarian tac-1 ties of Camjxjs, but will meet warfare I with warfare. With spies and jiersons aiding the insurgent* he will lie inexor , able; to those who lay down their arms he will show clemency. He will at once ‘ endeavor so completely to blockade the , I Swli ' -.zlH; V i' vh’£t v ' bf* ■ tis GEV. MAXIMO GOMEZ. coast us to prevent the further importation us arms and munitions. Gen. Weyley suyi emphatically that in hi* course lie will be merciless, but just. He is of the opinion that two months ago it would have been ensy to have dealt the rebellion u death blow; now he fears it will be more difficult owing to the strength the movement has gained and the losses suffered by the Spanish army. Spain is stij) sending reinforcements to Cuba, ifnil soon 18,000 more men will leave Spain for the seat of war. At first it was supposed that Gen. ('nmjHi* hud resigned, but it is now known that the Government removed him, purely, ns Campos himself says, because lie was not cruel enough and spoke of cviK lli.iting the rebels instead of butchering them. He now believes that Cuba is lost to Spain and nil through the jatliticnl juntos in Spain, who thought to frame a jajlicy for the island, ignorant of the conditions there existing. The politicinns in .Madrid wanted a butcher in the field and probatdy have secured one in the person of Gen. Weyler. Over the change of generals the Cnbnn patriots rejoice, for they believe Campos to be an abler commander than Weyler, while the qriie'.ties of the latter will alienate those now friendly to the Spauish

Hepburn Urges that the Minister ol the Porte Be Given Passports. The national Hotis,' Monday, after an interesting four hours' debate, adojitcd the resolutions j,asset] ny the Senate last week calling on the jsiwers signatory to the treaty of Berlin to enforce the reforms in Turkey guaranteed to the Christian Armenians, and jiledging the supjiort of Congress and the President in the most vigorous action he might take for the protection and security of American citizens in Turkey. The House committee had prepared some resolutions on the same subject, but it was deemed advisable after the Senate resolutions reached the House to substitute them for those jirepared by the committee. Mr. Quigg,. of New Y'ork. who hud charge of the resolutions, ma<k‘ an able presentation of the case. There was a disposition on the part of some of the members to go further than the resolutions did and Mr. Hepburn, of lowa, |»ro|H>se<l to give the Turkish minister his passports amt sever all diplomatic relations with 1 urkey. His remarks denouncing the lurkish outrages and charging that the jH.wers signatory to the treaty of Berlin were actuated from jiolitical and other considerations in maintaining the "balance of jsiwer" in eastern Europe were received with great enthusiasm and at one time, it looked ns if the House might be carried to his way of thinking. But the counsel of Mr. Hitt not to take I rash action, in the course of which he j |s>inted out the dire consequences that | might result from u severance of diplomatic relations with a friendly power that had fiilfllle<l her treaty obligations to us. prevailed, and the Hepburn jirojmsition was overwhelmingly defeated. Mr. Bailey ojqsiHed the resolutions 01. the ground that it would be improper for us to "insult" the parties to the treaty of Berlin by intimating that they had not carried out their obligations. Mr. Turner of Georgia took a similar view and Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio < h*. raeteriz.eil the resolutions as "incomjilete, ineflieient and unworthy." and requested the committee t« withdraw them. They were finallv jmssed, however, by a vote of 14.3 to 26. after a motion of Mr. Bailey to semi them I to the I’omniittee hud been defeated 5.‘ to 103.
