Startling News From Brought by Steamer.

WRECK OF THE BRITISH VESSEL.

The Shooting: of the Captain Said to lie an

Accident—Fifteen Insurgents Wounded, but the Others Escaped and Have Not

Vet lieeu Captured The Insurgents'

Cause Gaining Every Day. PHILADELPHIA, April 11.—Rome start

ling details of the successful efforts of the insurgents to gain entrance into the port of Baracoa, on the north side of Cuba, and the wreck of the small British sehooneii that brought them to the entrance of that place, the shooting of her master by the Spanish soldiers and the imprisonment of her entire crew, was told by the officers of the Norwegian steamship Spero, which arrived yesterday from that port.

Excitement runs high at Baracoa, and the majority of the residents of that j-lace seem to sympathize with the insurgents. The large number that were landed from the British schooner, which foundered before her name could be learned, made good their escape after a hot light with the Spanish soldiers, 15 of whom were dangerously wounded and are in the hospiral. This occurred on April 1, but up to the time the Spero left, April .1, none of them had been captured and the.y are supposed to be I proceeding overland to El Cobre, outside of Santiago, the scene of most of the insurrection.

The condition of affairs in Baracoa, which is the ceuter of nearly all of the banana plantations of eastern Cuba, is assuming serious shape, and nearly all the laborers are being pressed into the service of the revolution army. Over 100 men gave up work the day the Spero left and joined the ranks of the insurgents.

The harbor of Baracoa is being watched by the Spanish gunboat Espana, and further landing of troops fr mi the insurgent forces at that point will probably be prevented.

One of the Spero's passengers said the shooting of the English captain was an accident, as it happened while he was being taken to jail by the Spanish soldiers. He was shot through the head and instantly killed. No one in Baracoa seemed to know his name nor the name of the vessel he commanded.. The sailors who wers on board have all been sent into dungeons at Baracoa and are being closely guarded.

The insurgents that were on board the schooner wore well armed and supplied with a lot of gold. The distance overland to'Santiago is not far, but the country is mountainous in this locaiity and they would not be able to reinforce the insurgent forces for a week or 10 days. j) ,6n the night of April 1, a Spanish mail steamship landed at Baracoa 200 troops brought up from other sections of Cuba. The Spero visited Mata and Yumuro, two small towns in Cuba, but all was quiet there.

The Earn line steamship Monkseaton, Captain Beaseley, arrived from Santiago yesterday, but no news of the condition of affairs at that place could be learned. The management of the Earn Line Steamship company lias issued orders prohibiting any of the officers of these ships to give to lie public niformatioii nf any sort regarding the Cuban affairs.

LATEST TO REACH TAMPA,

FLA.

Cubans Kesidinf* There l.ecomiiig Knlhusiast ic Over the Kevolution. TAMPA, April II.—Late reports from

Havana assort that the steamer Manuelita has just arrived from Santiago with more than 300 wounded Spaniards (soldiers). The}7 were taken to the hospitals there, because the hospitals at Santiago are crowded.

A letter from Santiago mentions a battle at Trocones, near the Canto rivfir, in which the Spanish general, Salceda, with ,000 men, engaged a band of revolutionists under Rabi, about March 2f. The Spanish loss was said to be 3S0, while the Cuban loss was four killed,' ployi and 3!) wounded. The Spanish troops were mostly boys, the let ter states, and in the battle pity was taken on many who were caught, and their lives spared.

Maceo has organized a large force in Santiago province. Since his arrival, 800 soldiers, who fought under him in the former revolution, have joined him. They are principally from Majaguabo, Mooeij'-j old home.

CnbiTTis residing here, after ceasing their work, indulge in target practice with Winchesters outside the city limits.

Tuesday night, by all Cuban clubs extant, Jose Marti was elected as delegado or- president, and Benjamin Guerra as treasurer. This is their third consecutive ((lection. Gonzalo Quesada, as secretary, acts under appointment from Marti.

The elite of Cuban society gathered last night in response to the call for a celebration of the greatest event in the history of the former revolution—the declaration of independence, the Lyceo Cubano was crowded as never before: aisle, windows and doors were packed. An audience, whose quick afpl,ause bespoke patriotism, was befdre the speakers Ladies, old and young, little, boys and grey-lieaded veteran^, all' participated, while a Cuban baud discoursed patriotic airs.

Editor Ramon Rivero, as chairman, made the first address. Jose G. Rivero read a resume of the work of the revolutionary party during the past-year. Fernando Figuerdo was greeted with great applause. His speech was patri-otic-in. the extreme -A :telegmm was read announcing that a big battle had been fought and won by the Cubans at Ramon de las Yaguas. A telegram from Cuban sources confirms Guillermo's death. The program continued until midnight. It was the largest meeting ever held in the Lyceo, and has created fresh interest in the cause. _u_— .. mm

REBELS STEADILY GAINING:

A Canadian Fornix!leu Monte Particular* ol the Cuban "AITiiirn.

NKW YORK, April 11.—The Ward liw steamer Seneca, from Havana, arrived at her pier yesterday. She brought 21 I passengers, the majority of whom wen Cubans.

N. D. O'Neill of Brantford, Canada,! was among "the cabin passengers. He lias been in Cnoa for the past twcs months for his health. He said tlif

rebels were steadily gaining ground. All foreigners who land in Havana are closely watched by the Spanish authorities and subjected to much inconvenience. Mr. O'Neill stated that when he first landed, he was constantly Watched, and for 10 days two Spaniards dogged his every step.

Arrests were frequent in Havana, and the day the steamer sailed 18 Cubans were taken into custody by the Spaniards and confined in Moro castle. The local paper.- of Havana were not allowed to print the facts regarding the revolution, but each day their representatives were called to the palace of the governor general, who dictated to them what they might publish regarding the insurrection.

Sympathy From Florida's Senate. TALLAHASSKK, Fla., April 1J.—The

senate yesterday adopted the following resolution, introduced by Mr. Chipley: '•Resolved, etc., That the senate of Florida in regular session assembled most heartily sympathizes with the Cuban patriots in their efforts to free Cuba from foreign control and to obtain for the people of that island the right of self-government, so much prized by us, believing that they have the same re asons for their actions tliat our forefathers had. of whose actions we are so justly proud.'" A few voices dissented after I an extended debate.

CRITICAL SITUATION AMONG MINERS

Trouble in .Southern Ohio, and May iixtend All Over I in .Slate. POJIKKOY, O.. April 11.—At 3 p. m.

yesterday 400 strikers and sympathizers from Syracuse, New Haven, Hartford (Jit}", Mason and Pomeroy, massed at Minorsville to persuade or force tiie nonunion men working in the Williams mine to lay down their tools and come out. They formed in ranks i'ftnr abreast and marched np the street to the miiis and formed in line to await the appearance of the net's at the close of the day^s work, bein-.j forbidden by the operator to tresspass on private grounds.

At 4 o'clock the men came out, and were met by a committee of seven of the stri kers. who used persuasive means to induce them to join the strikers. For two hours the 23 men held out stubbornly with the 4)0 strikers massed about them on a vacant lot. They were assured by Master Workman Eli Thomas that they would be amply cared for in case they joined the strikers. Once a riot was lie any started by America Manly, wife of the leader of the nonunion men, parading up and down the street with a revolver under her apron, and declaring that she would shoot the first man that molested her.

Finally the nonunion men surrendered and agreed to join the strikers. This announcement was greeted by cheers, followed by a volley of pistol si lots into the air, showing that the strikers were determined to succeed by pursuasion or force. All parties were armed and made no attempt to conceal the fact. The affair has ended most irtunately in that there was no bloodshed.

An assault will be made on the Peacock mine Saturday, the only mine ill the Bend not paying the 2-ceut rate.. One hundred and four men are working there.

The leaders of the strike seem highly I encouraged over the SIKVOSS they are meeting with, and the number of emalroadv out is variously estimated it tronl .1,000 to 0,000.

The present strike is different- from most, difficulties of the kind, in that it is a strike of employers against employers. It is not the workmen who made the demand for better prices, but their bosses.

l'rice ol Harness and Saddles Increased. DKCATUK, Ills., April 11.—The executive committee of the Wholesale Saddlery association of the United States has concluded its session and sent a circular to all members recommending an increase of prices from 5 to 20 per cent, the average being not less than 1'2 1-2 per cent. This action was taken after getting replies from all members as to the advisability to the increase, This increase the price of leather makes an iitcrease in the price of harness and saddlery necessary. The association includes nearly the entire wholesale trade.

NORFOLK, Va., April 11.—The Atlas liner Alven put into Norfolk yesterday in distress, having sprung a leak, 200 miles southeast- of Hatteras on Sunday morning in the midst of a howling gale. The passengers were awakened by the engines stopping and the reported leak in the after bulkhead that the water was gaining rapidly, the case was considered hopeless. The passengers sat with life preservers in front of them at the saloon table for 28 hours, the lifeboats were provisioned and swung loose at the davits. All the pumps were kept pouring three streams.

Small holes were bored through the bulkhead to the engine room to let the water in where the engineer could put another pump at work. This and the jettisoning of 300 tons of the cargo saved the ship and Captain Dow was brave ami cool. The crew consisted of four sailors and but for the shipwrecked crew of the schooner Frank Pratt Lee. consisting of Captain Carson, the first and second mates and four sailors who were taken on board at Kingston and two stowaways found on the Alven. the ship would have sunk before she could have been lightened enough to save her.

Storm of Wind, Hail Thunder and Lightning ill Washington.

SEATTLE, Wash,, April 11.—A storm of wind, rain, hail, thunder and lightning of unprecedented severity, burst over tills city about .1:30 p. in. yesterday, and although it lasted but half an hour, it lashed the sound into a fury and tore down telegraph and telephone wires in all directions, completely isolating the city from the rest of the world for the night.

The wind reached a velocity of 60 miles an hour. Chimneys were blown down, plate glass windows burst in and tin roofs torn off. A train struck a tree on the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern read at Lake statiou and knocked several oars into Lake Washington. About 800 telephones in the city were burned out at the switch board.

Differed on Two Glasses of 15e«r. OMAHA,. April 11.—An attempt was

made yesterday to settle the strike of the journeymen brewers. All the boss brewers of the city met and drew up a contract to be signed by the union.

A FEl'I).

"I'll tell you, Frank, it's got to the point where something must bo done," said Mrs. Burnett, and as slio spoke she rapped at the small knuckles that were moving toward tho sugar bowl. Morton, aged 9, jerked liis hand out of the way and laughed at his mother, who pursed up her lips to conceal a smile. "Don't do that, Morton," said Mr. Burnett. Then, turning to his wife, he asked, "What have they been doing now?"

'That boy and some more of his crowd put tin cans along tho top of tho fence and then threw at them to knock them off. About every other stone went over tho top of tho fence and went sailing across our back yard. If ono of them had struck anybody, ho wouldn't have known what hurt him." "What did you do.J" "What did I do? I went out and told thom if they didn't stop I'd send for a policeman. I said to that Deakiu boy, 'It's a shame your mother can't teach you to bo a little better than a savage. "Maybo she didn't know they were doing it." "I do believo she puts 'em up to-it That boy's „enough to try tho patience' of a saint. "Next time ho conies into our yard I'll bet I throw something at him, put in Morton, whoso chin was dripping with a mild mixture of milk and coffee. "You leave him alone," said the malo parent. "You get into enough fights already. "Well, Frank, these boys are forever picking on him," said Mrs. Burnett. "Boys are r, good deal alike," responded her husband. "I'll betwhenhe gets out lie's tho samo as the rest of them."

Morton grinned and said nothing. Tho only member of tho Burnett family who had not joined in tho arraignment of tho neighbors was Alice, 0 years of age. She knew all about tho feud and shared in tho suspicions of her mother, but at present she was too busy with her supper.

Tho Deakins lived next door, and although there was adividing fence it had not kept the two families apart.

In tho year during which tho two households had dwelt side by side there had been a growing enmity. Yet Mrs. Burnett had never spoken a word to Mrs. Deakin, and her husband knew nothing of Mr. Deakin, except that ho worked with hi: hands for a Jiving and spent a great many evenings at home.

It would have been rather difficult for either the Burnetts or tho Deakins TO explain how tho fend starred, but it was operated from tho first through tho chil-

dren. There were two Deakin children— Lawrence, or Larry, aged 10, and little Willie, who, at tho tender ago of 3, had learned to regard tin) Burnett tribe with scorn and hatred and suffer to some degree. under the indignities heaped upon his family by that arch Henri of juvenility, Morton Burnett.

For when tho Deakins sat around the supper table and cast up tho accounts of tho day it was Larry who posed as the persecuted and abused child, while Morton Burnett was pictured as an infant of dark intents, headed straight for the bridewell. "If I was a man, Tom Deakin," said tho wife, "I'll warrant you I'd go over to that house and give notice that things are simply going too far. Today that boy got up on the fonco and called Lawrenco all kinds of names." I "He said that his mother had said that ma didn't havo clothes fit to wear, suggested Lawronce, who had begun to breathe hard during tho recital of his grievances. I "Anyway, I don't try to make myself look like a peacock evory timo I start to church, said Mrs. Deakin.

This comparison of Mrs. Burnett to a poacock tickled tho children, and thoy laughed immoderately. Tom Deakin re- I strained them with a quiet "Tut, tut!" and said that tho proper way to get along was to pay no attention to tho I neighbors. "I'd like to know how yon can help it," said his.wife. "That boy is up to some mischief every hour of the day, and his mother seems to encourage him in everything he-does. He throws things over into our yard 'teases Willie and makes faces' at .hini." .*•'

stand. Then she would wait her opportunity to appear on tho back stoop and retaliate.

In summer time, when both women wero out of doors much of the time, they occasionally exchanged glances which were moro significant than anything they could have said.

When Mrs. Burnett put out her washing. she knew that Mrs. Deakin was watching her and counting tho number ot pillow slips and tablecloths. I When Mrs. Burnett came to tho back I door and called out, "Come, Alice, dear, and practice your music lesson," it was equivalent to saying to Mrs.

Deakin, "Aha, we havo a cottage organ in our house, but you haven't any in yours."

Mrs. Deakin had frequently informed Tom that tho Burnett organ was a cheap secondhand thing.

Ono day, when Mrs. Deakin came homo from a funeral in a covered carriage, there was consternation in the Burnett family, and accounts wero not fairly balanced until a new coat of paint was put- on the Burnett- house.

Tho Deakin children told the Burnott children all that their mother had said about tho probable character of Mrs. Burnett. Likewise tho Burnett children repeated to the Deakin children all that they heard at the supper table. Mrs. Burnett knew that she was being reported to Mrs. Deakin, and Mrs. Deakin felt it her fluty to learn what tho viperish thing had been saying. Frank Burnett and Tom Deakin became convinced each that tho other's family was probably moro to blamo over the fence, clothesline and. garbage box issues.

Allio Burnett started to run across tho street one day in front of a delivery wagon. She fell, scrambled to her feet again, and tho horse's knee struck her in the back. She fell on tho block pavement and lay quiet.

Mrs. Deakin saw it all from her front window. Sho ran into tho street and gathered tho muddy child in her arms. The frightened driver had left his wagon, and ho followed her timidly to the front door of tho Burnett house.

Mrs. Burnett screamed, and then began to cry. "Hun for a doctor, you loony!" said Mrs. Deakin to tho driver as she placed tho limp little body on a bed and then ran for cold water and cloths.

When tho girl opened her eyes, she found her mother on ono sido, Mrs. Deakin on tho other, while a reassuring physician smiled at her over the footboard. "She's a little jolted up and bumped her head when sho fell, but it was mostly shock," ho said. "Law me," gasped Mrs. Deakin "when I saw that child fall, my heart just went into my throat! Don't cry, Allie you ain't a bit hurt. The doctor saj's I can put somo moro poultice ou your bad old hump. "I'll get it," said. Mrs. Burnett. "No, j'ou sit still. You are as pal© as a ghost.

That is how it happened that Frank Br.::

"Next timo I sdo him pick on Willie I'll give him another licking," suggested Larry "You'll do nothing of the kind," oxolaimed his mother. "Dou't you remember tho talking to I gavo you the other time you had that fight with him?"

Lawrence remembered the mild rebuMi, and his inward' resolution was not 'chauged. Tom'Deakin went for his pttpe, oppressed with the thefught that he bad been very unlucky in his selection of Neighbors.

These complaihts had" come to him' day after dajr from the downtrodden members of his family.

The feud had grown from a thousand aggravating'circuiDdtbnoes. Suppose Morton Burnett to boon the fdnce. His mother would open the baftk ,door and say loudly enough to make herself hoard thfough tho open windows of the Deakin house: "Morty, get down from that fence I Haven't I told you about that?"

Mr. Burnett sent Morton out to get two cigars, and while tho women sat by tho lied in tho front room tho men sat in tho back room and smoked, while tho three boys, awed by tho revolution, kept very quiet. "If Morton over bothers you, Mr. Deakin," said Mr. Burnett, "you just let mo know, and I'll tend to him." "I was just going to say to you that Larry's apt to bo too gay now and then, and if I over hear of him picking on your children I'll make him remember it."

In tho front room Mrs. Burnett was thanking Mrs. Deakin, who was hoping that her children had never bothered Mrs. Burnett very much. Tho little girl went to sleep, and tho Deakin family went home.

That was tho end of tho feud. In eaoh household thero was a general order that in case of a neighborhood riot punishment should bo visited upon those nearest at hand.

Those two houses, side by side, became the peace center of the west division.

Tho Deakin children wero at liberty to go over and thump on the Burnett cottage organ.

But who ended the feud—the men, tho women or tho 6-year-old?—Chicago Record.
