PLEASURE TRIPS, I

Fuiuerous Excursions the Coming Summgr at Reasonable Rates. Whether the tourist's fancy directs to the New Euglaud States or the -itlantic seaboard to the South or to the lake region of the North or to the Rocky Mountains and the wonderland beyond the Mississippi, he will be given opportunity to indulge his tastes at a small cost -:for railroad fare this year. There will be low rates to Baltimore over the Pennsylvania Lines in May, account the American Medical Association to Decatur, 111., -account the German Baptist (Dunkard) meeting, and to Pittsburg for the Presbyterian General Assembly. There will also be low ratfs over these lines to Meridian, Miss account the General Assembly Cumberland Presbyteriun church the same month. In June excursion tickets will be sold over the Pennsylvania i^Lines to Omaha account the National Jr.

O. U. A. to Chattanooga, Tenn, for the International Convention of Epworth Lfasue to Cleveland, Ohio, account the National Republican League Meeting, and t,o Roanoke, Va., for the German 'Baptist meeting. Excursions for July include low rates over the Pennsylvania to Baltimore for the Baptist Y. P. Union

Meetina to Asbury Park for the L. A. W. meeting, and to Boston for the Christian Endeavor Convention, and to Denver

Col., account the National Educational Association meeting. In August excursion tickets will be on sale over the Pennsylvania Lines to Boston, account the Knights Templar Conclave. The sale of low rate tickets will not be restricted to members of the organizations mentioned, but the public generally may take advantage of them.

The Asbury Park excursion will doubtless attract many to that delightful ocean resort. Atlantic City, Cape May, Long Branch and all the famous watering places along the New Jersey coast are located on the Pennsylvania Lines, hence this will be a desirable opportunity to visit the seashore. The Denver excursion will be just the thing for a sight-seeing jaunt tliro' the far West, as tickets will be honored going one way and returning a different route through the most romantic scenery beyond the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Variable route privileges will al«o be accorded Boston excursionists, enabling them to visit Niagara Falls. Mm'r*al, Thousand Islauds and St. Lawrence Rapids, the White Mountains, the Hudson River territory, and to return by steamer on Loug Island Sound, after sight-seti'ig at Newport. Narragansett Pier, .Vantuckec and the Cape Cod resorts to New York and thence through the agricultural paradise of the Keystone State, along the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers, over the Alleghenies, around famous Horse Shoe Curve, through historic John=*tovn and the coke and iron regions of Wes'ern Pennsylvania. It is also expected that Boston excursionists over the Pennsylvania Lines will be privileged to return via Baltimore and Washington if they so de3ire.

In addition to the above, there will be plenty of other cheap excursions over the Pennsylvania Lines to various points. As the season is some weeks away, arrangements in detail have not been consummated, but it is certain that no railway will offer better inducements lh \n the liberal concessions in rates and privileges that may be enjoyed by travelers over the Pennsylvania Lines. This fact may readily be ascertained upon application to any passenger or ticket agent of these lines, or_ by addressing F. VAN DUSEN, Chief Assistant Gon. Pass. Agt., Pittsburg, Pa. apr6wd-t-s-tf

SAM GEROMBO'S FALL

How the Cuban City was Destroyed by Gomez.

SURRENDER OF THE GUERILLAS.

The Women and Children Permitted to .Leave the Place Before the Battle Began. The Reported Seizure of ail American

Yacht Proves to Be a Pake—Latest News Prom Cuba. HAVANA, June 29.—The facts about tlie raid and the burning of San GeroniIHO, news of which was cabled on Wednesday to tlie Associated Press, as they are learned in more detail, are found to be of importance.

San Geronimo is the most flourishing village in th#-'province of Puerto Principe. About 5 o'clocit in the evening Maximo Gomez appeared near San Geronimo at the head of 1,500 men. He sent to the commander of the village saying that he must surrender or run the risk of being killed either by bullets or fire. The Spanish commander, LieuteuaiitfLabourda, tore the note to pieces, replying: "Tell him to come at once and do what he pleases that a Spaniard will nover surrender."

Throughout the night these men waited to be attacked. The families of the citizens, aware of Gomez's presence in the neighborhood, left the town, seeking shelter in the Guajamal hacienda at a distance of three miles. Meanwhile the rain was falling in torrents. The insurgents allowed the women and children of the families to pass out of the city, but held the men inside.

At sunrise Gomez ordered the mayor of the town to tell the Spanish lieutenant that he had the town surrounded and that he must surrender immediately. Afterwai'd the mayor returned, saying: "Under no circumstances will he surrender." Gomez then gave an order for 400 of his cavalry to dismount and attack the place. At the same time they advanced toward the town and ordered their prisoners to set tire to the nearest liousos. I

Gomez was heard to say: "That officer is a brave man. He will not surrender in spite of shooting and lire." He then commanded that the whole town should be burned. The fire increased rapidly through the town and the fort in which the garrison was quartered was burning. The troops kept firing until suffocated by the smoke, when the mayor lifted the white flag and the insurgents' bugle gave the signal to stop firing. j. Lieutenant Labourda. a lieutenant of guerillas, 50 soldiers of the garrison and 22 guerillas came forward and, agreeing with Gomez as to the terms of the surrender, delivered their arms and ammunition.

The Marquis of Santa Lucia and Maximo Gomez embraced Lieutenant Labourda, saying to him: "You can shout 'Viva Espana,' becausc you area worthy defender of her."

The officers and soldiers, with tears in their eyes, revealed in their faces the anyuish they felt at their surrender, which they consented to, although quite haughtily. But it would have been a mad enterprise to attempt to defend themselves against an enemy 20 times as numerous as themselves.

A few hours afterward nothing was left of San Geronimo but smouldering ashes.

Several young men, who had joined the insurgents and who have surrendered to lin' authorities of Santiago, complain of the ill treatment to which tliey have been subjected by the insurgent leaders.

Lieutenant Ruiz, with 20 men, has had an encounter with a band of insurgents at Sebnruca. One insurgent was killed, and on the side of the troops a sergeant was wounded.

MARTI'S SUCCESSOR.

Cicuvral Bartholomew 3Ias Klected President of the Cuban liepubliq. .PHILADKLI'HIA,

June 21).—Word was

received in this city yesterday from Cuba to the effect that General Bartholomew' Maso in all probability had been elected provisional president of the republic of Cuba in place of the late President Marti. The election for president, was begun on June 25 and ended yesterday. A vote was taken by' the men in the field and forwarded to General Gomez as fast as the balloting was completed. Up uutil the time the news was sent from Cuba it was learned that a practically unanimous vote was beiiig cast for General Maso.

Marti, prior to iiis departure for Cuba, was also the head of the Cuban revolutionary party this country with the title of "delegate". His death, therefore, necessitated an election to fill that vacancy. To accomplish this a convention will be held in New York on July 10. at which time there will be G2 delegates present from all parts of the United States. In addition to the election of a delegate this convention will also provide for the creation of a loan to aid the insurgents. It is expected that Senor Tomas Kstralda Paluia, a son of the president of Cuba during the former revolution, will be placed at the head of the party.

MARTI IS YET ALIVE.

Captain Louis Bttrnardt Say the President Is Not Bead. PORTLAND, Me., June 29.—A letter received by Joseph C. Cantwell from Captain Louis Bernardt of the Cuban insurgents, bears the information that last month 5,000 rifles and a million cartridges were shipped from New York by Cuban sympathizers and successfully landed on the island.

Berhardt further states that General Marti was not killed by tlie Spanish troops as has been reported, nor was he assassinated by an insurgent traitor who escaped. Marti is not dead, but is still at the head of his troops. The Cubans have possession of the entire southern eud of tho island and Maceo lias issued clearance papers to many outward bound vessels.

CUBAN CLUB MOVEMENT.

The Neutrality Laws Will Not Be Violated. NEW YORK, June 29.—The plans for the convention of delegates from Cuban clubs in this country, which is to be held in this city about July 10, are be

ing pushed rapidly. It was said at first that the holding of such a convention

would be a violation of the neutrality laws, and would place the patriots who have the matter in charge in danger of arrest. The officials in the office of the United Stares, district attorney, when asked about the matter, made an examination, but they were unable to find any law covering the point.

General Quesada is one of the busiest men in the city these days. Upon him lias developed almost all the work of arranging for the coming convention. He is daily receiving large quantities of mail, and from the assurances he has received the coming convention promises to be a great success. Already a few delegates have arrived in the city, and within the next two weeks many more will come. There will bo 50 delegates in all. These delegates will be entertained by Cuban sympathizers in this city during their stay.

More About the Pearl Seizure.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 29.—It has been ascertained that the Cuban filibusterer vessel Pearl, which was vainly searched by the British warship- Tartar three days before her seizure by the authorities of Port Maria for carrying arms and ammunitions to the insurgents, is owned by Charles Love, a native of Hayti, and a i*esident of Nassau, N. H. Revelations in connection with tlie seizure of the Pearl, implicate Lascelles and Deinereado, and also Levy, a Jamaica legislator. A Cuban passengers of the.]Pearl escaped, but the captain is in custody. Tlie customs officials have a clew to those interested in the expedition in the shape of 10 marked cases.

That Seizure Story a Fake. HAVANA, June 29.—Further inquiries made here by tho representative of the Associated Press show there is no truth in the story o: the capture of the American yacht Nepenthe by a Spanish warship and the imprisonment of those on board hei

Collazo Called to New York. TAMPA, liia., June 29.—Colonel Coliozo was called suddenly to New York by wire yesterday. He left last night, his brother, Tomas, accompanying him. Their mission is unknown.

DAM GIVES WAY.

Ortial Damage I)nn« Along Tim pas Creek in Colorado.

LAJUNTA, Colo., June 29.—At 5 p. m. yesterday the dam gave way at the Thatcher reservoir, 46 miles above here, flooding the surrounding country east and filling the Timpas creek and the many canons bankfull. It is feared the Santa Fe bridge on the Timpas creek, six miles west of LaJuuta, will be washed out. This bridge is 187 feet long, 25 feet high and is regarded as a very strong one. The reservoir contained 26,000,000 gallons and drained the foothills of the Raton mountains for miles.

The Puergatorre river has been very high since Wednesday owing to the heavy rains in the mountains, causing the dam to give way. No loss of life is yet reported, and, owing to the high mesas from Thatcher east, it is thought the settlers probably had time to escape the flood. The Otero irrigation flume, one of the most expensive in the state, is in danger. Many wagon roads have been entirely washed away for" a number of miles at a stretch in some places.

SHORT AND SUICIDED.

The lix-Tivasurer of the B'Nai B'rith So

ciety Takes His Own Life.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29. Louis Blanc, ex-treasurer of the B'Nai B'rith society, committed suicide yesterday by turning on the gas. Blanc was discovered to be short in his accounts some $13,000 some months ago. He was one of the most prominent jews in the city, and the news caused a great sensation. Blanc was not prosecuted, but the society failed to re-elect him as treasurer.

recent xaminatiou of his books increased the original deficit about $17,000. Yesterday Blanc sent his family away from home and shutting himself in a closed room, turned on the gas and was asphyxiated.

NEW LONDON, Conn., June 29.—The oarsmen of Yale yesterday defeated the men of Harvard for the thirteenth time since the annual contests were inaugurated between the colleges at Springfield on June 30, 1876. The race was rowed under favorable conditions and was a fair test of merits, in which Har vard was beaten by 35 seconds, omea. 10 iengtlis.

I'lsnrniice at !$300,000.

SAN FRANCISCO, .Tune 29.—It was supposed that Thursday night's fire would tend to re-establish the insurance compact. The aggregate loss of $300,000 divided among 40 companies has not brought the different agencies closer together, and they are again cutting rates, particularly on dwelling risks.

The total loss on Thursday evening's fire is placed at $1,200,000. The companies losing most heavily are: Royal exchange, $20,000 W. J.

NEW YORK.

Charles V, Yerkes of Chicago Spends a Great Fortune on a Fii'tli Avenue Mansion In Gotham—His Career a Marvel of Success.

[Special Correspondence.

NEW YORK, June 24.—Tho latest candidate for admission to New York's Four Hundred is Mr. Charles T. Yerkes, "from, Chicago." The coming of next season and of Mr. Yerkes will begin simultaneously, and meantime, while the wagers at New York clubs are laid about "evenly as to his success or failure, he is making evory preparation toward battering down the doors of metropolitan society aud of scouring a foothold within its hallowed precincts. Hehas been trying to get into Chicago society for some time, but has evidently failed. So now he comes to try New York, armed morally with an undaunted detorminatioiv and the sanguine hopes of a young man, and armed physically with the millions of a Monte Cristoand a beautiful, clear headed wife.

Now, the first thing the social struggler in New York must do is to build a house on Fifth avenue. So Mr. Yerkes has built a house. No, not a house, but a palace—» palace that would be a credit to any prince. This house is about ready to recoive it» owner, and the day he enters its portals it will have cost him two fortunes of $1,000,000 each, §1,000,000 for the house itself and almost another million for the furnishing and decorating. Thus Mr. Yerke» has already taken the first step in the upward path to the Four Hundred—that is to say, he has provided himself with a place wherein he and wifo may open their doors to society and spend their money ia lavish entertainment, while society, on its part, considers whether or not the newcomers shall be admitted to the sacred fold.

When you look at the Yerkes mansion, you receive tho impression that the house itself is verily built of money. Its walls seem to bo a mass of golden dollars, and you regard it as a colossal golden strong box for the holding of precious gems and all things that money will buy. For instance, as you enter tho house, it seems almost as if the steps which you mount were themselves made of money, for each frownstono block in the high, wide stoop leading up to the massive doors cost exactly 81,000, and as you press the electric button at the top you mentally calculate you have counted off $12,000 in cash.

It must not be supposed, however, that the impression of money received from tho first glimpse of tho house pre-empts it from being beautiful, even artistic, for really the impression of money is soon dispersed, and you next regard it as a thing of beauty. However, before putting the cost of the house entirely asido, it is interesting to know that tho real estate upon

which the house stands cost $300,000, thcts: building £700,000 and the furnishings £500,000 more. Add to

Tho mansion is a four story brownstone, with a. frontage of 61 feet on Fiftlia\ enue and 105 feet on Sixt^.eighth street, thus affording some 10,005l'uet of floor space and making it a building equal in size to fully five ordinary city dwelling*. Tho exterior walls are richly carved to tho third story, and if the effect is elaborate it is by no means ostentatious.

his the §500,000

worth of paintings with which Mr. Yerkes has filled his art gallery, and you have as mansion complete costing £2,000,000.

The Yerkes mansion has the largest private conservatory in the city. It is 150 feet long by 30 feet wide and has in its cenl er a fountain constantly playing. When you remember the water rate of New York, it is evident that if Mr. Yerkes means to keep the fountain playing both winter and summer he is surely not wrongly named a modern Monte Cristo.

The picture gallery is tho largest in thist! country, its dimensions being 101 feet by 25 feet, built upon an extending back of sy tho immediately adjacent houses. Into this gallery Mr. Yerkes will hang pictures which he and his wife have selected with taste and judgment, and which are said to^s rank in value second only to the collections owned by the Vanderbilts and Astors.

Of course ail these preparations are very® interesting and have piqued tho curiosity of New York society out to tho very fringe.

Notwithstanding tho talk of social designs upon Gotlmm, Mr. Yerkes recently said to an interviewer in Chicago: "The report that I am going to remove to New York has been made too much of. Twothirds of my time will necessarily bo spent here. The remaining third may bo spent at my house in New York. I built that house just as tho New York man would build his summer residence at Newport or Tuxedo park or Irvington or Narragansett Pier or any of those places. Whon I get tired out here and want a little relaxation and amusement, I shall immediately take a run to my house in Now York."

Let us consider Mr. Yerkes' career. At the age of 20 we find him a clerk in a broker's olllco in Philadelphia, which I think was his native city. At 25 ho became junior member and at 28 senior member of the firm. At 30 he was one of the foremost brokers of tho Quaker City. Later ho turned up in Chicago and went into speculation, bought stock in the Chicago Street railway, and now in tlie end is tho leading spirit in the street railway management, is ono of Chicago's-foremost-public men and is rich beyond tho droams of avarice. But it is not alone his wealth:» that makes him prominent, for he has more than onco received public tribute and honors for his lavish gifts to charitable and educational institutions. Ono of tha* largest and finest telescopes in the world^t for instance, is the one in Chicago whichr.-. tv»s erected and paid for by Mr. Yerkes.
