LANDEDSAFE 1H CUBA
Two More Expeditions From the United States.
DIFFICULTIES IN GETTING THERE.
One of Them !Lei't Key West, Florida, Early
in June—They Almost Perished on an
Obscure Florida Key—A Serious Iilow
to General Citmpos—Latest Dispatches
From Havana.
TAMPA, Fla., July 31.—The long-de-layed Rotoff expedition, which left Key West early in June, has landed safely in Cuba. Up to the 17th inst. the party was detained on an obscure Florida key, owing to improper instructions given a steamer which was to convey them to Cuba. The provisions they had afforded subsistar.ee for a few days, after which they obtained food from adjacent keys.
A secret messenger service was established with Cuban headquarters at New York via Tampa and arrangements made for rescuing the expedition. The hardships while on this island, exposed to the elements, were great, and 25 of the 200 found it unendurable and deserted, making their way to Key West and Tampa, where they were put under the oath of secrecy.
Henry Brooks was identified with the movement at the beginning, but was prevailed upon by his family to leave Cuba. After going to Paris he returned to New York, then came to Tampa disguised as a common soldier. He, with several others, left here in a small schooner, joining the expedition on the key shortly before the rescue steamer arrived. After embarking from the key, instead of sailing direct for the northern shore of Las Vegas, they steamed westward, rounding Cape San Antonio, keeping Cuba far beneath the horizon until off the south coast of Santo Espirita, when they made direct for a coast, landing near Les Lunas de Zaza Saturday nijjht.
Colonel Figuredo says that not only "will the district of Santa Clara at large xise in arms, but also the province of Matanzas, next to Havana, because both Rotoff and Sanchez have a large following in these provinces. Besides this the large quantities of arms and ammunition taken was what the people there were waiting for. He calculates that in a few days they will have 6,000 men with them. The landing of this expedition is considered as serious a blow to Campos as his defeat at Valensuela.
That the expedition remained 40 days aon this key, escaping the vigilance of the United States patrol, is due to their excellent organization. The Cuban leaders were constantly afraid the expedition would be detected in its perilous position. The steamer bearing Campos from Valenzuela to Cienfuegos must have sighted the filibustering steamer.
FROM CUBAN HEADQUARTERS.
Official Account of the Landing of the Expeditions.
NEW YORK, July 31.—From advices received at Cuban headquarters Tomas Estrada Pulina and Conguale de Quesada, brother of General de Quesada, have prepared the following statement:
The Cuban revolutionary party has received letters from Cuba announcing the safe landing of the commands of Major General. Carlos Rotoff, Bri^fidier General Jose Maria Rodriguez, chiet of staff of General Gomez, and Brigadier General Seridino Sanchez. "The expedition started from Two Keys, in the Bahama islands, and was taken in small boats 1o several sailing crafts, whicli conveyed the whole party. Ammunition and arms were some crafi'.s and the men in others, tlius avoiding anv danger from captures. "The expedition of Rotoff and Sanchez consisted of 275 men, almost all veterans of the last war. They carried about 300 Winchesters and Remington rifles, besides a number of machetes and revolvers. One boat carried more than 500 pounds of dynamite, two small cannon and 500,000 rounds of ammunition. "The second expedition, under Rodriquez, consisted of 75 picked men, all veterans and mostly officers. It carried about 150 repeating rifles, the same liumer of machetes and revolvers and 200,000 rounds of ammunition. The two expeditions landed simultaneously on Thursday last on the southern coast pf the province of Santa Clara."

Ceuta, where they will suffer imprisonment.
The inhabitants of Sabana, the town which Was recently burned by insurgents, were obliged-to leave the place amid flames and showers of bullets. Some found shelter in the village of Duruja, some went to Yumuri on the Bteam launches and others fled to the •woods.

RACE RIOT IN ALABAMA.
It Has Resulted In the Death of Two Deputy Sheriffs and a Number of Negroes.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 31.—The mining town of Brookside, 15 miles west of here, is in a state of panic, over a race riot which occurred yesterday, resulting in the death of two deputy sheriffs and a number of negroes. The tight, which lasted for over an hour, was between an organized band of white miners, headed by Deputy Sheriffs A. T. Wood and Joel Baxter, who were trying to arrest Jim Biggers, a uegro, and a crowd of the latter's friends. Over 150 shots were fired.
Mine Boss Calverhouse of the Sloss Iron and Steel company discharged Biggers for a violation of the mine rules. Biggers remained about the place malting threats. He refused to leave the company's premises and a warrant was sworn out for his arrest ior tresp.is ig. Deputy Sheriff Wood and Specia uty John Baxter went to arrest B.L,_CIS. As they approached Biggers fired upon them with-a Winchester rifle. A bullet passed through Wood's head and another through his heart, killing him instantly. Baxter was mortally wounded, but was able to get back to the camp and give the alarm.
The white miners at once organized and went to arrest Biggers. The latter in the meantime had called in a number of his negro friends and when the two parties meta pitched battle resulted, the negroes fleeing to the woods.
It is now said that half a dozen or liiore negroes were shot down, several 'I whom were killed outright and the •Iris's badly wounded. Whether any of U*J whites were wounded or not can not be learned. The names of the killed and wou.ided negroes could not be had.
The town of Brookside is in a state of great excitement, every man in town being armed. Shooting was kept up at intervals for two hours or more.
Late last night word reached here from the telegraph operator at Brookside, who is located in his office, that an attack by the negroes is feared.
When the first news of the fight reached here yesterday evening Sheriff Morrow and Chief of Police McDonald summoned all the available officers, and a carioad of them started at 11 o'clock for the s^ene of the riot. It is believed that the arrival of this force of officers will restore quiet, and that no further demonstration will be made by the negroes.
DEFIED THE INJUNCTION. Motors and Managers Mixed Up in the Durant Murder Trial.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.—Judge Murphy's courtroom looked as if the Durant trial was in progress yesterday, but it was not. Instead, the actors and managers of the Alcasar theater held the boards in an endeavor to show why they should not be punished for contempt for playing "The Crime of a Century'' in defiance of an order of the court.
The case of Mr. W. R. Daily, the manager of the company, was first called. His attorneys endeavored to show that the play had no reference to the Durant case, but Judge Murphy said it made no difference if they play "Hamlet." the play ^-elf cut but little figure, It was the violation of the injunction of the court instead of taking legal means to have the injunction set aside that constituted the contempt. The case was not finished, and was postponed until Saturday.
In the meantime Daily will rest in jail unless he can procure bonds. Monday night, when the play was stopped, Daily announced on the stage that the performance would go on as usual, but Judge Murphy made the actors promise that they would make no further attempt to produce the play and they were allowed to go.

GLADSTONE, Mich., ui\ 31.—The swaps to the west jid northwest oi the city below the bluff and a the Goodman additien as well as tLr marshlands on both sides of the Soo ail ., '.y, are burning furiously. The buildings on the Hammer propsrty, owned by W. D. Washburn Jr., of Minneapolis, were destroyed yesterday afternoon. The timber now on fire is of little value.
The Soo railway has all its available men and apparatus ready in case the shops would catch fire, and in the city every precaution is being taken to prevent the fire getting into the business and residence portions. The wind still remains in the north and is blowing a gale, and the smoke in the streets is almost blinding. The fire department has been on duty for the past 24 hours wetting down places where fire would be liable to catch from flying embers.
Heavy fires are reported between Sault bte Marie and Trout lake, but little west of that point.
Unless the wind changes soon it will be almost a miracle if fires do not start in the city, as everything is dry as. tinder.

Everything Reported Quite In Jackson's Hole.
TROOPS WAITING DEVELOPMENT
Indian Police Have Been Sent Into tht
Hole to Try to Induce the Indians to
Return to Their Reservations—No Indians Have Yet Entered the Yellowstone
National Park.
CHEYENNE, Wy., July 31.—A privato dispatch received from Market Lake states that the Ninth cavalry is now encamped in Teton basin near Marysvale. The troops will not be moved into Jackson's Hole until the return of the Indian police, who were sent ahead to try to induce the Indians to return to their reservations.
The reports from Marysvale show that the excitement is dying out and many of the settlers are returning to their homes. The news of the near approach of the troops lias caused a bitter feeling among the settlers. The dispatch states that the settlers had arranged to make an attack on the Indian force with the intention of driving them out of the country, but after receiving the message from Governor Richards advising them to act only on the defensive they changed their minds. It is claimed it will be necessary to keep the troops in the field all summer, as the Indians can only be held in check by the presence of the soldiers.
The Indiau scare is spreading far to the south and east of Jackson's Hole, and settlers in Fairmount county are becoming alarmed. Governor Richards last night received the following from Dr. W. Lovejoy of South Pass, in the Miners' Delight mining district: "There is a baud of from 100
fo
300
Indians within a half day's ride of this place. They are all bucks and things look shady here. We have plenty of ammunition and men, but no guns. Can you send a few stands of arms.''
Shortly after the receipt of the above the following was received from E. A. Gurtin of Leadstone in the same district: "Can you send us guns Indians are near here."
The governor says the Indians no doubt are Utes from Duchesne who are hanging around in the hope that there will be a big fight with the Bannocks which will give them an opportunity to make an attack upon these settlers and get back to their reservations before the troops could interfere with them.
These settlements are about 35 miles south of Lander, and the governor says he does not believe they are in danger unless there should be a fight in Hoback valley. He referred the dispatch to R. D. Woodruff of Rock Springs, inspector general of the state militia, with instructions to use his discretion in the matter. NO INDIANS IN YELLOWSTONE PARK.
Sensational Reports Denied by the Gen« eral Passenger of the Northern Pacific.
ST. PAUL, July 31.—In regard to dispatches from Market Lake and other Idaho points to the effect that the Indians are in Yellowstone park, General Passenger Agent Fee of the Northern Pacific which is the only line extending into that national park, enters an emphatic denial and characterizes such reports as the work of "the string fiend."
Yellowstone park is under government control and is in charge of a cavalry officer, under whose direction troops are constantly patrolling this,reservation tor the purpose of preventing destruction of game and objects of interest to tho tourists. This officer, who is thus kept thoroughly posted day by day, has not reported to the department of Dakota headquarters in this city the presence of Indians in that region, which it would be his duty to report if such was the fact, and it is therefore safe to say that these rumors are without foundation.
The Indians, who are the most superstitious people on the face of the earth, have always given Yellowstone park a wide berth on the theory that the geysers and other wonderful phenomena in which the park abounds are to be counted for only by the presence of evil spirits.
EXCELLENT CORN CROP.
Condition of Cotton, Spring Wheat and Tobacco as Reported to Washington.
WASHINGTON, July 31.—The weather bureau in its report of crop conditions for the weak ended July 29 says:
Drouth continues in western Ohio, and is affecting crops unfavorably in portions of Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Georgia, southern Texas, Kansas and Nebraska. In southern Michigan drouth has been relieved, but She northern part of the state the rainfall has been insufficient.
The general outlook for corn is excellent, although unfavorable reports are received from portions of Nebraska ana Kansas, and it is reported as late in North Dakota. In Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Missouri it is making rapid growth and earing. In Iowa the best crop ever grown in that state is promised. In the southern states an unusually fine crop is now practically assured.
The condition of cotton is probably less favorable than last week. In Louisiana and the lowlands of Arkansas there has been too much rain, and the crop continues grassy in Mississippi. In Texas it is of irregular size, and from one to three weeks late, and complaints of shedding are received from the Carolinas, Floridatand Louisiana.
Harvesting of spring wheat is advancing favorably in South Dakota and southern Minnesota, and will begin in North Dakota this week.
Tobacco i« not doing well in Ohio, but in Wisconsin, Maryland and Kentucky is growing finely, the outlook in Maryland being exceptionally favorable in Virginia the general condition is promising.
Drowned lu a Cut.
COLUMBUS, O., July 81.—A cyclone and cloudburst at Wellston Tuesday flooded street? and cellars, carried away the water work's dam and drowned some Italians working in a street railway cut before they could escape.

MORE BONES FOUND.
But littlo KIse Unearthed in the Holmes' Castle in Chicago. CHICAGO, July 81.—Digging in the
cellar of the Holmes building yesterday and last night was less fruitful than any day yet spent in investigating the underground schemes of the Philadelphia swindler. Bones by the dozen were found, but nothing of tangible evidence can be found. The laborers confined their work principally to the southeast end of the basement where was located the mysterious box. An investigation of the tank revealed nothing eveu as circumstantial evidence against Holmes. The tank was easily made accessible and noth^g was found therein but a small qffTntity of petroleum in its raw state. Nowhere were there traces of carbolic acid or other fluids which might have been used by Holmes in putting away his victims.
A private account l?ook kept by Holmes has been discovered in a grate at the Sixty-third street house. The book was found with a bundle of letters addressed by various women to Holmes, which had evidently been placed there for burning. The accounts which date back to May 1, 1885, show the owner's dealings with various people and an entry regarding insurance shows the existence of insurance deals as early as 1886. A mysterious "Dora" is mentioned as the recipient of numerous small sums which are carefully recorded and the minutes of the Englewood company are also given with the election of the directors and transaction of other business.
Rather a significant bit of information came to the police yesterday when a Mrs. Strowers of Sixty-first and Morgan streets informed the police that Holmes had once persisted in her taking out $10,000 life insurance policy. Not only did Holmes beg her to take out tjie policy, she said, but he also offered her $6,000 for it. Her friends, she said, dissuaded her from taking Holmes' advice and she never saw him afterward.
Clinton Sherman, formerly living at 646 Sixty-ninth street, and now at Dalton, 111., came to Holmes' castle yesterday afternoon and said he had been employed by the mysterious Riehardson, now missing, to remove bodies from the castle and deliver them to Chappell, the articulator of the medical college. Sherman's name was found several days ago among the private papers of Holmes. Detective Fitzpatrick discovered he had been an inmate the castle. Sherman is a colored man. He heard he was wanted and left the produce farm on which he was working and came to the city at once. He told of several mysterious happenings in connection with the removal of bodies which, he was told, were "stiffs" procured from cemeteries and hospitals to be sold to medical students.
Quinlan, who has not been disturbed in his solitude since Monday night, will be conducted to the "sweat box" in Central station and be given another chance to explain some of the accusations that are made against him.
Jow Owen, the Ohio farmer, who is also a prisoner at the armory, persists in the assertion that Quinlan was Holmes accomplice in every crime the swindler made and executed.
Lake Schooner Sunk.
LORAIN, O., July 31.—During a heavy gale yesterday the schooner Republic, in tow of tne steambarge Swallow, coal laden, became waterlogged and sank in 40 feet of water two miles off this port. The tug Cascade of this port succeeded in rescuing all of the crew of eight, who were clinging to the rigging. The schooner and her cargo will probably be a total loss. She is owned by E. Ewmg of St. Clair. Micli.

Am I to blamo if I forgot?"
"Forgive my selfish tours," she cried, "Forgivo. 1 know that it was not Because you meant to hurt me, sweet. 1 knew it was that you forgot."

The Country Doctor.
The country doctor I Let tho hard itWhose lyre is tuned to idle praise— His locks unshorn, Ins face uninarred By sweat and grime, his hands unscarred By daily toil—in dulcet lays, In ompty word and hollow phrase Recount tho r.nnals of the Let him record and celebrate Their noble deeds, their pomp and state, Their wisdom, all, perpetuate. A humbler theme to you I bring— .••/ The smell of flow'rs, tho breath of spring, The flutter of the bluebird's wing— And with it all I bring to you The country doctor, good and true.
Ah, ye who traverse city streets On swaying springs and cushioned seats, The difficulties that he meets, The bumps and jolts, ye little know. Through seas of mud, o'er wastes of snow Where icy tec pests howl and blow, In pouring rain where torrents flow And sheen and shadow come and gO( Astride the sorriest of nags And armed with spur and saddlebags. He onward works his weary way, And be it night, or bo it day, He never falters nor looks back Adown the st^op and rugged track, But sets his teeth and onward plods, Himself a clod among the clods.
The city doctor spends his days In crowded marts and traveled ways. At night he sees the latest plays And rests his half enchanted gaze On some new "star" that lights the stage— A star of most uncertain age Of whom the critics rant and rage. V.K.K'S: Tho country doctor, poor, despised, His purse half starved and undersized, Contents himself to stay at home. The only stars he ever knows Are those that rest in heaven's dome And light the waste on winter snows.
The'country doctor! Blessed be he Who sets the weary suff'rer free From burning fever, racking pain And countless ills, and does it, too, Without a thought or hope of gain, Without a single cent in view. I come to sing in praise of him Whose soul is fat, whose purse is slim, Whoso eyesight keen, whose foresight dim, For, caring naught for fame or pelf, While there's a crust upon the shelf He works for fun and boards himself. —Ohio State Journal.
The Derelict.
I am the Hakon Jarl. Tho waters play Around my battered hull, and underneath The sharks glide fishing. From the frozen north The icebergs gather in a spectral fleet, Shining in lakes of sea beneath the moon.
Drifting, drifting! Unto the misty port Where neither signal gun nor flashing wire Sends back arrival to the anxious hearts That wander on the highlands and the shore.
So shall ye drift, oh, great, loud clanging ships That pass me by so haughty and so cold— A mockery of death, a menace yet To those that live and swim upon the sea. And drifting ye shall follow all that were, As all that are shall follow in their turn, Until a lighthouse rises in tho night
Then tho boy plunged into the city's roar, And he learned the market's sordid lore, -rm And he learned that lite is an awful fight, /,m Where the wounded iall to tho left and right.
But on tlioir bodies he slowly rose, And lie gained new strength from his vanquished loes. As he overcame them and beat them down He grew in wealth and in wide renown.
But his heart was cold. He forgot to feel. ... His chilling smile had the glow of steel. His brain grew keen, and his face grew hard As ho stood a victor, seamed and scarred.
Then his words were .treasured throughout the state, And all men followod and called him great. But he smiled when he thought of the country boy, And ho snoered at love as a childish toy. —Munsey's Magazine.
An Unrealized Dream.
He went fishing in tho wildwood, In the dancing mountain brook s: Wliero hi used to fish in childhood%«
With a bent pin for a hook. He bethought him of the catches .r That housed to show with pride, And tho sunburn and the scratches.
That adorned his youthful hide.
Now ho had a fancy tackle Anil a rod of split bamboo, Flies of /ery style oi' hackle,
Clicking reel and silk line, too With a twelve pound basket laden, Harnessed up with straps and bands,Ho had pat( nfc boots to \wtdo in
And kul gloves upon his hands.
Gayly then he started fishing In a shady nook and cool, -a, Where the willow s, gently swishing,'
Overhung a well known pool.
