GUNS SLAUGHTER SPANISH REBELS

Moors Kill and Wound Nearly 3,000 Soldiers. KING’S THRONE IN DANGER Reports From Barcelona Are That the Artillery Forced the Revolutionists to Surrender and That Outbreak Within Borders of Alfonso’s Domain Will Have Been Put Down After Action In One or Two Small Places. Insurrectinists Trapped InSquare. Madrid, July 3(h— It is officially announced that the cavalry engaged at Barcelona succeeded in driving into St. Martin's square the principal bands of revolutionists against whom the artillery opened fire, causing great losses. The survivors surrendered. The official statement further says that it now remains only to master small groups of revolutionists in the villages in the vicinity of Barcelona. The artillery as soon as the insurrectionists were trapped opened fire, mowing down the revolutionists, who sought to escape, but were met at every point with shot and shell. Those of the insurgents who were not killed or seriously wounded threw down their arms and surrendered. Official dispatches admit that th©., battle between Moorish tribesmen and Spanish forces was a disastrous defeat for the Spaniards. The Spanish killed and wounded numbered almost 3,000, which takes no account of the men at the advance posts, who evidently were cut off and abandoned to their fate. More than 1,000 Spaniards, among them a general, were killed. Melilla is full of wounded men. The battle is still going on. The extent of the disaster to date is apparent in General Marina's dispatch as given out at the war office. He says: “Thursday the Moors cut the railroad, severing communication with our outposts. Our batteries shelled the Moors, but the advance posts were endangered, and they had to be abandoned. “The situation at Melilla is grave, despite the desperate bravery of the troops, who are now fighting under the wails of the city.” Five convents and several private residences at Llanza have been burned.

Lowell Tribune: The last reminder of the auto races disappeared Friday when Howard Slocum pulled out the posts that supported the foot viaduct over Clark street near its intersection with Commercial avenue. The buns have been gone for some time. VThe barn on Charlie Bussell’s farm in Hanging Grove township was struck by lightning about 8 o’clock Thursday morning and his old family nag was killed. Another horse was stunned. The building did not take fire. The barn was full of hay and it is a miracle that it did not ignite- It was not badly torn up, either. The rain Thursday’ did not extend very far north of Rensselaer, and up in the north part of the county they are beginning to need rain now. In about Brook, we are told, there was considerable wind Thursday afternoon and considerable damage was done in the way- of its breaking down corn. Quite a good many trees were uprooted alsoEvery woman that cooks has experienced trouble with bad butter and eggs in warm weather. She need have no more embarrassment along these lines if she will but buy’ these products at the Home Grocery. There every egg is candled and guaranteed strictly fresh and “Meadow Gold” butter clean and cold pleases the palate of the most exacting. Try them this week. There may have been a hotter day some time in the dim and misty past than Wednesday, but, if in our time, we’ve forgotten about it. The heat seemed something terrible, and most people declared it to be the hottest day they ever saw. The mercury was up close to the 100 mark in the shade. A welcome rain came Thursday morning which relieved the pressure somewhat, and again in the afternoon we got a nice rain. South a few miles they had a tremendous big rain.
