The victims were twenty-six sulphur miners and their murderer is no less 4 peffebn than a wealthy owner of the mine, It. Makuza, who left them on'an island to starve to death. The men Were supplied ! with a few months’ rations and-no more notice was taken of them until a short time ago, wb#n the owpej; of the mine received an order for a. ship load of sulphur. He'then Sent a steamer to thp’ isl- , and. The crCw of the steamer, being uri- 1 able to see any signs of life, paid a visit to the rniiie and in the rude cabiriis 'foririd the bodies of the twenty-six miners; Who had starved to death. As there was no food of any kind on the island and as vessels seldom pass in sight of it the m«pa, were entirely helpless. / 1 ! / ‘ BIG MALTING PLANT BURN?. ~i , ... ' i . David Stqphepfon Brewing Cotppuny of Oswego Lose by Lightning, j(S \ J The magnificent malting plank/of the* Davjd Stephenson Brewing Company at Oswego, N. Y., was totally destroyed by fire. The loss will be over $300,000, which is mostly Covered by insurance. Fierce '■ lightning, whioh/'vfriited the city at an early hotir, wari the cause Of .the fire. A small tower was the only pftifm the building constructed of wood, arid fhis was struck twice. The watchman and firemen could do nothing when the fiames reached the malt, over 200,000 bushels of which was stored in the bins. The Stephenson malthouße was built in 1884, a cost of over SIOO,OOO, and nearly this sviro has since been spent in repairs arid improvements. The malt stored in the house was valued at nearly $200,000. The pjant will probably not be rebuilt. ,e 1 Standing of the dabs. .i following is the standing of the in the National Baseball League: 1 , W. L. * W. L.

FEAR A DICTATORSHIP. ! • si'"—"! ! •' .For TRla Re-ison a Revolution May Occur in Guatemala. Fears of a rCvrilutirih in Guatemala are due to the prevalent' belief among the people that, if elected to, the presidency, present head, of the Government, will proclaim h ltd self dictator. He UecartC presWerit of Barrios,' and now seeks the office ftxr a six yeafs’J tgym. Bis strongest opponent is Jose Castillo, vjFho is supposed to be backed by the army in which he has served with distinction. The election 11 of Cabrerd is expected, and in anticipation of trouble Imuny Americans are returning to the Uuited States or removing their families out of the city. . i /: Cubans Homeward Bound. Cubans are now homeward bound. They realize now that Cuba Libre is an assured fact; that the independence of their island is soon to be realized; and from New jYork, from Florida and from all the Eastetn cities the Cuban refugees, driven from Cuba early during the ; War with Spain, pre packing their baggage, gathering to>-> gether their belongings, tmd making preparations to return home as soon as.perice is declared to their, beloved island, to enjoy the benefits of that independence which they believe the Unitrid States will assure to them. The junta Iri New York, tlip Cuban legation in Washington, and the delegates in Key West and Tampa have been besieged with applications for transportation to Cuba, many of the applicants desiring to retnririti time to* take' part ip the actire hostilities against Spain. The majority of them, however, are Cubans Who, having business Interests in the United States, have contributed money and 1 moral support to the insurrection since its inception, and deblre flow to return to the island that they may early realize the benefits* nf.-an. .independent Cubap government.
