Great To-Do Among: the Whaler at the Birth, of Mrs.' Sherman's Daby Within the Arctic Circle, SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.-An American baby has been born on Herschel Island, as close to tho north pole aa San Francisco Is to Mazatlan. It would be an, Item worth mentioning: if the baby was born of native parents to such a far north part of th,e world. It is, however, a white baby. Its mother being the wife of Captain A. C. &Jerroanyof the steam whaler Beluga, In all likelihood a baby never saw the light of day on the Herschel Island before. It is a barren spot In the Arctic ocean. The island lies north of the boundary line, bemg the extreme northern portion of Alaska and the extreme northern portion of British North America. If It were possible to follow an air line from Sitka to Herschel island the traveler would have to Journey 1,500 miles straight north before he could seo the bold head lines of Herschel island, The story of the birth of this northernmost of American) babies was brought here by Captain Mason, of the steam tender Jeanie. It seems that Captain Sherman and his wife had passed one winter at Herschel Isllati and Mrs. Sherman wa9 quite used to the midnight sun of the summers and the lonff darkness of the winter as well. There was a great to-do about the birth of th baby. There were four -women at Herschel Island to idolize the little one. They were the wives of whaling captains. The whalers, most of whom had been away from home for more than eighteen months when the baby was born, were greatly Interested ' in the event and sent many presents to the happy mother. There happened to be a clergyman of the Church of England at the camp. He had been sent to that odd corner of the globe as a missionary, his name being Kev. Mr. Stringer. With all the formality that was possible in a barren island he enristened the child Henel Herschel Sherman. The baby has taken very kindly to the mild, but perpetual daylight of the summer at Herschel island and bids fair to thrive there through the long dull winter months. Its Playthings are made from whalebone and its cradle was cut from pieces of wreckage by a ship's carpenter. OHIO RIVER ASSOCIATION. Election of Oflceri and Adjournment , After a Banquet Lant Mf?ht.

XiiUClIiI THE PORTE IS SILENT nnci.s TO LOOK AS IF a show op FORCE "WILL, HE NECKSSAIIY. Another Armenian Massacre Reported from Trebixond Pope Gloomy Letter on Temporal Poorer. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct 9.-Tho representatives of the six powers are to-day sUll waiting for a definite reply to the identical communication recently hanJed to the Turkish government on behalf of their respective governments and in which they specify the reforms Tor Armenia which in their opinion should be accepted by the government of Turkey and promulgated in an imperial decree. Suggestions, semi-offl-Qlal notes and visits of government officials to the envoys of the powers followed the receipt of this identical communication, but the distinct categorical reply of tho Turkish government seems to be delayed by first one thing and then another until the patience of tho European governments is becoming exhausted and definite action on their part may shortly be expected. In view of the continued Increasing gravity of the situation the British Mediterranean squadron remains at Lcmnos, (Stalimni), within a short steamlns distance of the entrance of the Dardanelles. The obstinacy of the Porte under the circumstances is not generally understood. No reply has been made to the request of Sir Philip Currie, the British embassador, made shortly after the massacre, that he be allowed to visit the prisons in which the Armenians charged with rioting are confined to take their deposlttons for transmission to the various European governments Interested. There no longer aeems to be any doubt that the Armenians anticipated a serious disturbance whea the attempt was made Monday a week ago to present a petition to the Sultan through tho Grand Vizier and they claim that those of their race who fell in the streets of Constantinople on that occasion were martyrs who gave their lives for Armenia in the hope o forcing the powers to put extra pressure on the Porte in the ef?ot'i lie4wsmde to - bring about roforra in the administration of Armenia. The blockade of the Armenian churches continues. All efforts of the authorities and the Armenian Patriarchate have failed to persuade the Armenians who have sought shelter within their walls to return to the houses, as they put no faith in the assurance of protection given them. The Turks, however, will only allow ecclesiastics to enter the churches and when they leave the buildings they are carefully searched. In accordance with demands of the representatives of the powers the police authorities have commenced releasing the Armenians who were imprisoned as a result of the recent rioting. Two of these unfortunates who were allowed to leave the Zaptieh prison, were found to be in a pitiable condition, both suffering from soven or eight wounds. They have made astatement, which has been communicated to the representatives of the powers, that the prisoners , had not received food or medical treatment for the three days previous to their release. They also claim that the prison is horribly overcrowded and in a shocking stats of filthlness. The streets of Constantinople and its suburbs are still patrollf d by the police and troops and it is understood that the torpedoes sent to the Dardanelles have been or are being placed in position In the straits. Ammunition has also been sent to the forts and from other military movements which are going on it would show that the Turks are preparing to defend the passago of the Dardanelles should Groat Britain attempt a naval demonstration in these waters. . THE POrE'S UL003IY LETTEIl. Sends lTi n Denpatrlnir Word for Temporal Jurisdiction. ROME, Oct. 9. The letter of his Holiness Pope Leo XIII to Cardinal Rampolla, the papal Secretary of State, on the recent fetes in celebration of the twenty-flfth anniversary of i.h entry of the Italian troops Into Rome, was published this evening. It is as follows: "Th-o sentiment of humanity, which even minds dominated by passion retain, seemed to permit of the hope of some consideration In our old age, but this "has been brutally ignored. We have been reduced to become almost Immediate witnesses 0? the apotheosis of the Italian revolution and the spoliation of the Holy See. That which most afflicted us 13 the design to perpetuate rather than to terminate the conflict of which no one can measure the disastrous effects. The final object of the occupation of Home was not to complete political unity, but, in destroying the walls of the temporal metropolis, to more closely attack tho spiritual power of the popes. The object -was to ohange the destinies of Home, return it to paganism and give birth to a third Rome and a third era of civilization. "That is what it wits desired to celebrate recently under the sanction of the new law by noisy demonstrations conducted by a sect which is the enemy of God. The nation suffers, for not only are tho promises of mutual benefits unfulfilled, but, morally, Italv is divided and subservient to factions which menace all civil and social institutions in augmenting numbers and force. Nothing will ever confer veritable independence on the papacy so long as it does not have temporal Jurisdiction. "This condition they pretend having guaranteed us, subordinated to the arbitrary will of others, and lately there has been a suggestion of a threat to abrogate even th guarantee Itself." The letter of the Pope then vaunts the bless'nir of pontifical sovereignty and Invites Italians not to be bound up with sects and to consider how pernicious it would be to perpetuate 'the-conflict which 13 profiting the enemies of Christianity. It then affirms that the head of the church follows with lov'ng vlgllanco humanity's road and does not refuse to accept the reasonable necessities of the times. The letter of his Holiness concludes with: "Tf Italians throwing off the Masonic yoke would listen to irs. we could open our heart to the fondest hopes. Otherwise we can but predict new perils and greater disasters." Scores Drown In u Itnasluit Stream.. ST. PETERSBURG. Oct. 9.

The Democratic party is, as it has ever been, strictly In favor of a respectful observance of Sunday by abstaining on that day from all imnecessary employment, and yet mlwdful of the riqhts of every citizen to the enjoyment of worship, comfort and recreation according to his own conscience and wishes ns far as compatible with a due regard to the beliefs and desires of others, it favors the immediate enactment by the next Legislature of a modification of the present oppressive excise laws, and in addition promises to propose to and endeavor to obtain from the coming Legislature a law which will enable this community to determine for itself by popular vote whether the sale of food, beverages and all necessaries shall be permitted on the first day of the week during certain prescribed 'hours, and In a manner so. restricted as not to Interfere with religious observances."

TALK WITH CAMPOS

CAPTAIX -GEYERAL OF SPAMSH FORCES IS CUBA OX REBELLION. Insurgent Only Half Armed and Relieves a Vigorous Cnmpalgn in November Will End the Trouble. THE USE OF EXPLOSIVES IT HAS NOT CAUSED GREAT TERROR. AMONG II! S SOLDIERS. Loudon Tmea Correspondent Describes n Sad Condition of Things on the Island. NEW YORK. Oct. 3.-The World copyright, cable from Santa Clara, Oct. Z, via Key West, Kla,, to-morrow will, say: Captain General Martinez De Campos conversed with me two hours to-day at the general headquarters of the Spanish army in this city. The statement which follows is what General Campos paid in response to a series of questions I addressed to him verbally as the special correspondent of the World: "At present the military situation In Cuba is satisfactory. The rebellion in Cuba has attalnel greater scope than I anticipated when I embarked from Spain. At present there are numerous small bands of insurgents scattered about the country in the provinces of Santiago, Camaquez and Lavlllas. In Matanzas there are only a very few rebels again?t authority. The insurgents are not all armed, and their supplv of ammunition Is deficient In some districts. There Is a considerable number of Spanish troops on the island, though it is not as large as the conditions warrant. "I have given orders that prisoners shall not be cruelly treated, and that wounded insurgents who may fall Into the hands of the troops shall be well cared for. I do not kill prisoners. The war will be conducted on different lines from the last one. I have a definite policy In my operations. The country paths are generally too bad at the present time for a persistent campaign. Again, I do not wish to arouse the soldiers continuously until the season is improved. "In November there may be looked for as active and as aggressive campaign as I can make. My present plan is to divide the troops Into small detachments, tho number of each column varying according to circumstances. Were I to send out a column of, say five thousand men, they would have the march for their pains. They would see no enemy. The insurgents would melt away in the denre and difficult countrj where they find shelter. They follow a good policymilitary policy for their side of the case, for they know that they could not withstand the attacks of regular soldiers. About this portion of Santa Clara I divide the soldiers into detachments of two or three hundred men. If the enemy were to suddenly assail one of these small bodies, In greatly superior numbers they might do mischief, but there generally would be another detachment somewhere and could go to the relief of their friends. THE REBELS' POLICY. "In the- Remedlos district and in Santos Esperltu the columns are larger 600 or 700 men as the rebels, especially in the former district, are in great numbers and better armed. In Santiago the largest column of all. say 1,000 to 1,300 men, is required. "As an example of the futility of large columns at present, I refer to the expedition led by Gen. Suarcz-Valdez, who 'left this city a few days ago, going first to Manlguaragua in the direction of the Trinidad mountains with a provision train. Gen. Valdez took 1,500 soldiers. The Insurgents expected only three hundred , soldiers, and were assembled to the number of over two thousand. They hoped to capture the train. When the size of General Valdez's force became known to them the insurgents melted away like the dew under the sun. General Valdez divided his force into four different detachments, when he had placed the supply train, and Js now nearer the Seguanea valley. As soon as he divided his men the rebels reappeared and skirminshIng has gone on since. "In Puerto Principe, General Mella was sent out with a strong column to look for Maximo Gomez. He could not find any of the opposing force, and after long marches divided his army into four smaller columns. He did not succeed in having an engagement. "I did not understand Gomez's course. I think highly cf his military capacity, but ho does nothing. Perhaps he is restricted by the orders of the Junta in New York, which is, I am. informed, to pursue a Pablan policy, or he may be very short of ammunition. An army cannot light without cartridges. "Caneila aid good work orr that day. His men came on the torpedoes Maceo had sowed in the road. The explosion killed and wounded several. The insurgents abandoned their camp without resistance. It was cut of the question for Canella to follow the rebels to the hills. The thickets wero too den?3 and the country too extensive for him to attack with less than, five hundred men. "Thn Snanish blood does not naturally 1 seek a fight. It rather avoids one. Rut when compelled to fight, tho Spaniard becomes a hero. The regular troops have an advantage, for the officers send their men in. They ore disciplined trocps. The insurgents are without discipline and they rarely are aggressive fighters. Drive a Cuban Into a corner with hl3 back to the wall and he will fight like a hungry wolf. Witness the action of Amador Gnerra and twenty men when they were forced to ffeht sixty Spanish soldiers near Manzanlllo. Guerra showed his Spanish blood and he met his dath like a brave man. "If our soldiers became so much scattered in the wild fastnesses occupied by the insurgents they would be in danger, for the insurgents know every point suitable for an ambush, they know the paths, the by-ways and the ford of the most difficult countries in the world. During the last war the Spanish troops were at times placed at a great . disadvantage because they did not find the best river fords. LIKE INDIAN WARFARE. "This war makes me think of the Indian wars In the Western United States. The Indians used to fight when a good opportunity ocurred and ran away when pressed. There .are more insurgents than Indians, and there Is a vast extent of territory to cover with troops, mountains, deep ravines, impenetrable virgin forests and deep jungles. In conducting5 a war under European conditions, 1,000 soldiers will do as muoh as 5.000 bere. The lack of arms and ammunition has always been a drawback to the insurgents. They usually have nearly as many unarmed men as armed ones. When there Is an engagement the unarmed men carry off the dead and wounded, taking care to secure the fallen men's arms first The wounded are a clog on the Spanish columns during an expedition; they have to be carried. "I have been ratis3ed with the sanitary condition of lie army during the past cummer. Until September there was less sickness than I expected. Yellow fever has not been epdlemlc the present year, except in a few localities, and the losses from that cause have been comparatively Email. Some of the newly-arrived battalions, which landed towards the end of the month, have had the vomit (yellow fever.) At the present time there Is fever in the Orient and In Cojnaguey. Havana has escaoed an epidemic, and in Matanzas and Lis Villas there haS been only a little fever comparatively. The soldiers are having aluglal (malarial) fevers now, and are likely to have them during the next two months. "The Insurgents have .used bombs charged with dynamite against tho troops. They have beea buried in roadways and at river fords. At the engagement of Sao Del India, soldiers were killed and wounded by the explosion cf hidden torpedoes. I do not as, yet observe anything that causes me to believe that dynamite awII be a factor in future European land war except in destroying bridges, railways and fortificatlon3. The insurgent torpedoes are very rudely constructed and not as effective, a? they misht.be made. I do not regard Lilden torpedo 3 aa exceptkwaHj-

dangerous to one side. They may prove like a two-edged sword. I hear of no injurious moral effect on the poldiers caused by the fear of contact with torpedoes. I have not as yet any confidence in, the use of dynamite or any of the similar high explosives in projectiles great or small." Iiunrgenta Vulnjr Dynamite. HAVANA, Oct 9.-t is reported here that, according to official advices, the British consul at Nuevltas, province of Puerto Trlncipe, has Joined the insurgents. A dispatch received here from Remedlos announces that the Insurgents have destroyed with dynamite one of the arches of the finest and largest bridges of the Sagua Li Chica railroad, not far from Camajuani, In the province of Santa Clara, Advices received here from Mantua, province of Pinar Del Rio, to-diy, say that the ammunition and light guns of tho wTecked cruiser Cristobal Colon have been saved by the crews of the Conde Do VenaJito and Infanta Isabella, but it is considered doubtful whether they will be able to save the heavy guns. The London Times correspondent has sent the following letter: "I have just returned from a long tour through the province of Santai Clara. I found that the bitterness of feeling between the Cubans and Spaniards Is growing stronger. While the numbers of the Insurgents in the province of Santa Clara ftave largely increased lately, 1 do not see how It is possible for the insurgents to make an attack on the Spanish forces unless they obtain a great addition of arms and ammunition. Judging from the conversation of Capt. Gen. Martinez De Campos as to the general distribution of troops, it is evident that a detailed military occupation of the Island is considered nccessay at the present time and probably continuing next year. The saigar planters of Santa Clara express great uncertainty whether to make sugar. A crop is lost and this means absolute ruin to many estates.

Corbett AVI II Continue to Train at Sna Antonio nnd "Hob" at Corpus Chrlfttl The Andltorlara DALI.AF, Tex., Oct 9.-The Florida Athletic Club to-day moved its headquarters to Hct Fprinfcs, Ark., where it will hold ita pugilistic carnival of three days, com mcnclng Oct. 31, the date criglnally selected a:l already given out. All the parties to the contests have fully agreed and the matter is settled. Conditions having changed 00 quickly and positively, the dat6 and place of the mill being named in less than twenty-four hours after the conference, though the club had forty-eight hours from. Tuesday n'ght to decide in, there were lots of things to be done, Including the arrangements for getting to work on a building and tho preparation for t rani po rtation. However, a great many matters were arranged in tho conference Tuesday. The events up to to-daj brought these out. Tho question came up at tho conference whether or net Julian an! Rrady woull agree to fUht outsUe. of Texas. There wan no difficulty on this score. That being seltlel, the questlon arose woull they consent to moving the date up to Nov. 20? Iioth opposed this. Their men. they said, were already on fighting edge, eo to speak. Julian insisted particularly on this. It seems, therefore, a concession was male in this regard by the club. Braiy sprung a telegram from PhHIp J. Dwyer, of New York, tho oSlcial stakeholJer, that FJtzslmmons's1 stake money had been attached, the amount Involved being $S,100. Brady and Julian had a. warm discussion over this, ending In Julian promising to make good the amount In ten days from Tuesday, or on Oct. IS. Julian blames attorney Odannyfrienl, of New York, for the attachment proceedings, asserting that he forced himself on FItzsImmons, anl otherwise, as Julian charged, he ufd Fitzslmmons a a handle to keep himself before the public In con nectlon with tho Australian's affair. A claim was put in by Julian for the forfeit of $i.t,00 if the mill did net take place on the 31st of Octobtr. This wa silenced by the proving of the fact that the 'club had the right to pull the mlli off any time after July 1, ISO. The big event of the conference was as to whether or not a referee should be selected at once. The club demanded it as thelf right that the referee be named without delay, llrady demanded the fame. Julian stood patron his old proposition that the referee should be named on the day of the fight. There was a hot discussionbetween Julian. Brady ana Vendlg, the latter declaring for the club thatinles a referee were named at once he would dedare, the mm to IT. Julian naia it wo.ua have to go at that then. Julian held out that the safest way to prevent a referee from being tampereJ with fas to keep his name secret until the day of the rirht. Brady said Corbett would never asaln ign articles of agreement until the referee wa named in the same. Matters looked squally. For a time it looked as If the great mill woif.d fall through. After several propositions were mado looking to selecting a referee in a way that his name shoull be kept a. ferret until the day of the light. Julian finally consented to consiler the proposal that he and liraJy should each select a name from six, the same to be kcrt secret until the day of the light, anl If the names were not the same the decision between the two should. be derlJed by a toss-up. Julian ha till tho night of Oct. 10 to decide. , . It is learned on gool authority that all conditions as embraced in the original articles of agreement will be carried out at the new location for the triple fistic carnival. Joy In Hot Spring.

The pxrty wa examined by the grand Jury, but nothing was as'ied them in a direct way. though ths Inference to be drawn Is the deslr to ascertain whether or not there Is a contract between Corbet and FItzsImmons to flht at Dallas rvl whether they are now training In the Mate unler' that contract. The district attorney says h doires to prosecute Oorbett anl FltitPimmons if they are violating Tex lata, and he believes they are. in ccn-piring to commit a felony.
