RIOT AND BLOODSHED. ■Constantinople the Scene of Many Wild Deeds. fk. Armenian, and Tnrkl.h Police Have Fierce Encounter—Hundred* of Christians Penned Up, and Many Others Killed. Washington, Oct. 4. Secretary Oliney late Wednesday afternoon received the following dispatch from (Minister Terrell: ••Constantinople, Oct. 2.—Monday several hundred Armenians marched on the porte. professedly to ask redress for grievances. The patriarch tried to prevent it A conflict occurred between the Armenians and the police. Probably about sixty Turks and Armenians were killed, and among others a Turkish major: Many were wounded The carried pistols. Tuesday several tnore were killed. Tuesday night there were eighty killed Several hundred have been imprisoned. The porte had notice of the demonstration, which, it said, was organized by leaders of the Huncbagist revolutionists, whom they have captured. Much terror exists. I think the porte will be able to restrain fanaticism.” Constantinople, Oct. 4.—Five hundred arrests have been made in connection with the recent rioting of Armenians here. The government is greatly alarmed, and the garrison is kept under arms. During the rioting Monday and Tuesday nearly 200 persons were killed. Trouble among the Armenians of this has been brewing for a iong ;time past, the bitter feeling against the Authorities growing stronger as week after week passes without the adoption by the Turkish government of the scheme for reform in Armenia proposed by the representatives of the powers. The long-smoldering flames x>f discontent, carefully fanned by the Armenian agitators, have at last broken out. London, Oct. s.—The Constantinople correspondent of the Standard, under date of Wednesday, telegraphs to his paper: The Armenian patriarch . was on Tuesday invited to attend the porte. but lie declined because none of his followers were allowed to accompany him. He v remained at the patriarchate shut up with several hundred armed Armenians. Reviewing the incident it appears that the police generally were not supplied with ball cartridges. They were instructed to use the flats of their swords and the butts of their rifles. Such provocation as they gave in the first instance was verbal. The Armenians tired lirst. With the exception of the massacre of the prison* the most violence was committed by the Softiis and the lowest class of Moslems, none of whom however, appear to have been arrested or othervvis^fchecked. Constantinople, Oct. 7.—The result of the conference held by the foreign diplomats here to consider the situation arising from the rioting on Mon-j *lay and Tuesday, was that the Dragomans of the several embassies and legations were directed to protest to the foreign minister against the excesses of the police and equally against the barbarity of the Mussulman mob in regard to the arrested and wounded Armenians, several of whom were beaten to death with bludgeons, While others were cruelly The Dragomans were also directed to call the porte's serious attention to the whole affair and to beg the foreign minister to measures were adopted to prevent foreigners from Jsuffering and to restore order. Hon. A. W. Terrell, the minister of "the United States, made a special request that measures be adopted for the safety of the American missionaries in the Koumkapou quarter. His representations had the desired effect. The city is quiet. It is evident that the government lias taken every precaution to prevent any further disorder, and to quell any rioting should it occur in spite of the measures adopted to prevent it. One of the precautions taken was the posting of guards around the Turkish quarters to prevent the inhabitants from leaving them in order to go to those parts of the city occupied by Arrneniuns. Late Friday afternoon the police were withdrawn fronl the patriarchate and other churches and kahns in which* Armenians had taken refuge, and all those who had so.u,ght safety in these structures were invited to return peaceably to their homes. Soifte took advantage of the invitation, but others, fearing treachery, determined to remain where they were until such time as the popular excitement had $ further abated. The Softas were guilty of great excesses on Tuesday, and especially during the raid on the Armenian quarter, which they made at night At Tookurtchesine, near Stainboul, the students and populace broke into an Armenian building, killed fifteen persons and wounded thirt3'-five others. In addition, it is said that they conveyed the wounded to the shore and threw them into the sea. It is’learned from a reliable source that than 1,000 Armenians have been and cast into prison on the charge of having been actively concerned in the rioting or having instigated the trouble. During the* rioting on Tuesday crowds of Mohammedans took advantage of the great excitement to loot many shops and offices. Their spoil is reported to have been qpito valuable.

CRUSHED AT CHuilClL Disaster Attends the Laying; of a Corner Stone in Loraine, O. Platform Falls Into a Basement, and a Large Crowd of People Go with It —A Little Girl Killed-Many Persons Hurt. Loraine, (X, Oct. 7.—The laying of the cornerstone for the new St Mary’s Catholic church in this city Sunday was accompanied by an awful disaster. Fully 5,000 people were in attendance and the priests were about ready to proceed with the services when an accident occurred that created .a panic and killed a little girl and wounded about twenty-five more, several 1 of them fatally. The foundation for the building extended about 10 feet above the basement bottom, and on this was erected a platform where the ceremonies were being held. Over 1,000 persons were standing on the floor when a section of it, containing about 300 people, sank beneath its burden and precipitated them into the pit. The section which gave way was in two wings, and as it sank it formed a death trap for the people, from which there was no chance to escape. The pit resembled an inverted roof of steep slant, the ends being closed up by stone walls, and into this it was that there were crowded men. women and children in one struggling heap. As the floor gave way, a great cry Went up from the multitude, but in another second it •had fallen and carried in its ruin the lives of several persons. Those at the top of the mass escaped easily, but when the pit was partly emptied those victims still entrapped could not clamor up the steep sides, and they trampled each other like so many wild creatures, the strong getting on top and the weak being crushed beneath the great weight. Although there were a thousand people ready to rush to the rescue they could render very little aid to the helpless persons in the pit. and several minutes elapsed before ropes and ladders could be procured. When help finally reached the unfortunate victiqis, several had already been trampled to death and others fatally injured. The old . Catholic church near by was turned' into a hospital and morgue. Into this were carried those who were killed and injured. The following is a list so far as ascertained: - Kose McCJec. of Lor.iine, skull fractured. Katie Urittln, 8 years of age. of Lorair.c. injured internally: Mrs. Mary McGrath, of Loraine; left leg crushed and injured internally.'

Nellie Dollard. of Loraine, head cut; Leo Theobald, 3 years old, back-of head cut; Col. W. 1 Drown, of Loraine. right arm and left leg bruised.

Bruce, of Hoganvllle, left ankle broken William Rvan, of Loraine. right leg broken; Mrs. O'Keefe, of Loraine, leg crushed, will have to be amputated. Notwithstanding the shock of the accident, the priests succeeded in quieting the crowd and continued the services. Very Rev. Mgr. Boss, of Cleveland, delivered the sermon. The contractors are said to be responsible for the accident, poor timbers being used for the support of the platform. The mayor and other city officials lent a helping hand in caring for the injured. The town is in deep mourning ever the accident.

MACEO WOUNDED. Leader of the Caban Insurgents Shot in a Battle. Havana, Oct. 7.—The Spanish have dealt the Cuban insurgents a severe blow, if the official reports given out are to be relied upon. The rebels have met with defeat and Antonio Maceo has been badly wounded. Many of his followers were killed or wounded. The battle, said to be the most bloody of the present war, was fought in the country between Soa Arribia and San Fernando, in the Holguin district of Santiago de Cuba. The insurgents were commanded bv Gen. Maceo, while the Spanish troops were commanded by Gen. Exchalgue. The insurgents, numbering 3,000 infantry and 800 cavalry, laid in wait for Gen. Exchalgue, who appeared at the head of 1,300 infantry and 300 cavalry. The Spanish troops also possessed one field cannon. Gen. Exchalgue distributed his men in admirable fashion and planned to fall at certain specified times upon the positions held by the insurgents. The revolutionists, aware of his movements, arranged for a strong outpost to check the impetuosity of the Spanish troops. The regular Spanish forces paid little attention to the small body of men stationecP at the outposts and rushed to the main force. The insurgents made a desperate insistence, which lasted seven hours. „ h Finally Gen. Maceo, seeing hnafcpen iua critical situation, riudisd* the front with his staff. He had scarcely taken-a position in front of the line, when he fell seriously wounded. His followers at once placed him on stretchers and succeeded in carrying him off the field. As soon as it was known that Gen. Maceo had been wounded all was confusion in the ranks of the insurgents, Who, according to official advices here, were put to flight, leaving, upon the field twenty killed arid several wounded. Spanish officials estimate that before Maceo fell fully 180 dead and wounded insurgents were carried froni the field. These officials also assert that many of the insurgents surrendered, by the* defeat and the wounding of Maceo, and they expect that others will give themselves up. Washington, Oct. question of whether the Cuban revolutionists shall be recognized as belligerents by the United States government will be determined, it is believed, by the events of the next six weeks in Cuba. The feeling in favor of such a step is stronger at the state department now that it lias been at any time heretofore. Secretary Olney is being influenced by the public sentiment springing up all over this country for the Cubans. The meetings held recently in Chicago and the published interviews with the governors of many states, all showing a strong sympathy for the revolutionists, have had their effect on both the president and his secretary of state. They would not hesitate a day to recognize the belligerency of Cuba but for the fact that it has been learned officially that Spain has recently strengthened her military forces on the islands until they now number 100,U00 instead of 80,00'J as has been generally estimated. A number of important, battles will be fought in the next few weeks, the result of which will determine whether Spain can suppress the rebellion. It would be a costly experiment for the United States to recognize the belligerency of the revolutionists and throvy open our ports, to them and then have the revolution suddenly fail and the Spanish government move on us for indemnity. Nearly all the South and Central American republics are ready to extend recognition to the revolutionists; but will wait for a signal from the United States.'

EXPORT OF GOLD CEASED. Business Conditions Better and a Slight Gain in the Reserve. Washington, Oct. 7. The true amount of the gold reserve at the close of business Saturday was $93,006,88G, a net gain for the day of $208,097. The present situation as to gold withdrawals, as viewed at the treasury department, is more hopeful than at any time within the lasi several weeks, and, in the opinion of many, the reduction in the rate of sterling exchange, the ■ essation of withdrawals for export, and the apparently increasing willingness of hanks to exchange gold for non-legal tenders, indicates a return to normal conditions, and a turn in the tide of gold moVements. The reported arrival of $250,000 in gold from Europe, although a comparatively insignificant amount, has strengthened the belief that the drain of gold has ceased for a considerable time at least.
