RESSMAN'S ROOMS rifled.
Scandalous Reports Circulated After
His Death.
Paris, July 9.—Scandalous reports are in
circulation here in connection with the
death of Signor C. Ressman, formerly
Dalian ambassador to France. It Is al
leged that while he was lying at the point
of death, three persons, including an of
ficial of the Italian embassy, rifled his
rooms and took away a quantity of pa
pers.
The anti-Semite journals connect the
story wiih the Dreyfus affair. It appears
that about a fortnight ago, Signor R<-:-s
--man had an immense quantity of docu
ments destroyed, declaring that if they
were left they might "harm various peo
ple.”
it is also suggested that the search may
have been instigated by Signor Crispi,
the former Italian prime minister, who
practically dismissed Sigr.or Ressman rrom
the Italian embassy in Paris in 1595, be
cause the diplomatist had failed to make
the French press favorable to the Crispi
government.
SOICAN TO SUCCEED DENIEL.
Administrator of the Isle tin Diablo
Has Been Removed.
Paris, July 9.—M. Deniei, governor of
the Isle du Saiut and administrator of
the penal settlement on the Isle du Diable,
where Capt. Dreyfus was imprisoned, has
been removed and will be succeeded by M.
La Soucan.
M. Deniei was responsible for much of
the punishment meted out to the pri
soner in the hops of compelling him to de
clare himself guilty.
Orleans Is Conciliatory.
Paris. July 9.—Prince Henri D'Orleans
writes as follows to the Matin:
"I will bow before the decision of the
Rennes courtmartiai, as I did before that
of the courtmartiai of 1594. France, re
lieved of this abscess, will be able to re
sume her glorious role.”
CONSID E RED t\ A DERI ATE.
Transvaal's Proposals Mneti Less
Than Milner Demanded.
Capetown, July 9.—E. W. P. Schreiner,
prime minister of the Colony of the Cape
of Good Hope, says the Cape government
regards the Transvaal’s reform proposals
as adequate and calculated to insure a
peaceful settlement. The colonial pre
mier, however, represents the Afrikander
element.
Sir Gordon Sprigg, former prime min
ister and colonial secretary, who is an ar
dent Imperialist, considers them totally
inadequate to meet the just claims of the
Lit landers and altogether less that Sir
Alfred Milner, governor of the colony and
British high commissioner for South Af
rica. demanded of President Kruger at the
Bloemfontein conference.
FAR FROM A SETTLEMENT.
But President Ivrtißer Says the CriNls
Has Passed*
London, July 10.—The Rome correspond
ent of the Daily Mail says:
"The Pope has been in correspondence
with Fresident Kruger, appealing to him
to avoid a rupture with Great Britain, and
yesterday he received a dispatch from the
Transvaal’s magistrate declaring
that a settlemt was still distant, but
that the crisis had passed.”
Transvaal Will Prosecute.
Pretoria, July 9.—The Transvaal govern
ment has decided to prosecute on the
charge of high treason the three principal
defendants whose complicity in the re
cent attempt to promote a rebellious rising
at Johannesburg has been for several
weeks under judicial investigation.
Absurdly Insullioient.
London, July 10.—According to the
Johannesburg correspondent of the Daily
Mail the UTitlanders regard the Trans
vaal government's proposals as "absurdly
insufficient."
GOLD STANDARD FOR INDIA.
Parliamentary Committee Commends
Government’s Attitude.
London, July 9.—The report of the par
liamentary committee on Indian currency,
just issued in the form of a blue book, ap
proves the decision of the government r.ot
to revert to a silver standard. It argues
that it would he impossible to maintain
the status quo permanently, and, there
fore, recommends that measures he laken
to introduce a gold standard, with the
British sovereign as legal tender, and ad
vises that the Indian mints lie allowed to
coin gold without restrictions on the same
terms as the Australian mints.
Finally, by a majority of votes, the com
mitire recommends fixing the rupee rale
ut sixteen pence. The report says in con
clusion:
"The effective establishment of a gold
standard is of paramount Importance to
the material interests of India, not only to
promote existing trade, >ut to encouiage
the influx of capital.”
FRENCH PEOPLE INCENSED.

ENORMOUS DAMAGE DONE Rl' THE
BRAZOS RIVER FLOOD.

nge Placed at SS,.loo,ooo —There Are
About 120,000 Negroes Now Being
Fed—Reports n* to Lo* of Life
Were Exaggerated—Flood Swept
Everything Before It.
Galveston, Tex., July 9.—Relief work in
the Brazos flooded district has been syste
matized, three relief trains leaving Hous
ton, Galveston and San Antonio daily.
Probably 20,000 negroes are now being
fed and will need to be sustained for some
time by the relief committees. All sorts
of estimates are made as to the amount
of the cotton loss. An estimate of 50 per
cent, is considered conservative. This
would be a money loss of $5,000,000. The
loss sustained by the destruction of other
crops, houses, fencing, stock and bridges
would be $2,500,000, while the lass to til*
railroads is probably $1,000,000, making a
total of $8,500,000.
Owing to the exaggerated reports circu
lated as to the loss of life in the recent
floods, the News has made a special effort
to secure ihe facts from each county. Re
ports received from thirteen counties show
a loss of thirty-seven lives from drown
ing.
Reports from Sealy state that a while
woman and a negro woman died there to
day from the heat and exposure. There
are 500 negroes at Sealy at the point of
starvation. Rations will be sent by the
first train.
At Hearne a mass meeting of the citizens
was held to-day, and committees appoint
ed *o request supplies from the Governor
for immediate use. Intense suffering is
said to exi-t in this locality.
Destruction Was Complete.
Angleton, Tex., July 9.—Ail the streets
of this town are under two or three feet
of water. Very few lives have been lost in
this vicinity, but the losses of live stock
and crops will be heavy. Cattle along
the Bastrop have been drowned by the
thousands.
The destruction in Oyster Creek valley
is absolutely complete. Negro cabins
have been washed away by the dozens
and the poor blacks are penniless and hun
gry.
The Brazos now extends from Caney. in
Matagorda county, on the west, to Cho
tate, on the east, a distance of thirty-five
miles, and has carried complete destruc
tion anil desolation with it. Absolutely
nothing is left which was touched by the
flood.
AVant to Be Notified.
Austin, Tex., July 9.—Gov. Sayers to-day
issued a flood sufferers' proclamation es
pecialy requesting that neither supplies of
any kind nor money be sent to any place
in the overflowed district without first ad
vising him.
SCOTT GRABBED THE POT.
Lynching Almost Resulted From a
Little Game of Craps.
Pittsburg. July 9.—Glenwood, a suburb
of this city, was thrown into big excite
ment to-night by the threatened lynching
of a young negro named Daniel Scott.
Scott, with three companions, went to a
miil workers’ camp near Harrison station,
where a game of “Craps” was started with
■ several of the mill men. Scott lost his all
on a three, grabbed the money and ran
with the crowd at his heels.
Patrick Murto caught np to him and de
manded the money. Scott pulled his re
volver and tired at Murto, the ball graz
ing his shoulder and knocked him to the
ground, without real injury. Scott tied
but was captured on the Glenwood bridge
where a crowd of several hundred men
soon gathered.
Murto's companions thinking he had
been murdered wanted to lynch the ne
gro. No rope being at hand some wanted
to throw him over the bridge.
Before the police arrived to rescue him,
Scott had been used for a foot ball by the
crowd, and was a sorry looking object
when landed in the station house. Scott
claims that his revolver was loaded with
blank cartridges.
PURCHASED LARGE MINES.
Rockefeller 11a* Gone Into the Iron
Bu*lne*M in the AVe*t.
Tacoma, YY’ash., July 9.—John D. Rocke
feller has purchased the Texado Island
iron mines in British Columbia. The mines
will be operated by the Monte Cristo Min
ing Company, owned and controlled by
Rockefeller, and it is probable develop
ment will be commenced at once.
The price paid for the property is a se
cret. Six years ago an effort was made to
buy the mines, and $250,000 was asked for
them. The ore runs 66 per cent., and is
considered as goal as any iron produced
in the country.
Rockefeller, it is stated, will soon begin
the erection of a plant to handle tne ore.
as at present there is none in the Pacific
Northwest. It is said the plant will be
established in Tacoma, owing to the
cheapness of coke and the railroad facil
ities here.

The mob left the nesro hanging to a
telegraph pole and six minutes Liter he

both colored, were arrested by James
Ramsey, chief of polic. of Toprka, and.
when questioned, Denver Kid fastened the
crime on Williams.
To-day Sheriff True of Wabaunsee coun
ty, brought Wll.iams to Alma to lodge him

The people of Alma and the country
surrounding are greatly excited, and while
great precautions are being taken to pre

Money Troubles Hid Fair to Lead to
SeriotiM Revolution.
San Francisco, July 9.—Prominent citi
zens of Central America living here claim
to have received dispatches indicating
that Guatemala is on the verge of
another serious revolution.
President Coberas’ attempt to force
$6,000,000 of paper money into circulation
is the alleged cause of the whole difficulty.
It Is reported that Dr. Jose Llorondo,
the leader of the Conservative party; Juan
Francisco Ponciano, president of the Bag
Occidental Bank of Guatcmn a, and Jose
E. Sanchez a capitalist of the Guatemalan
capital, have taken an important part in
the affair and were threatened with im
prisonment. They sought, refuge in the
Mexican minister’s residence. The Mexi

CALLED OUT THE MILITIA.
Street Car Strike Caused Mneli Trou
ble nt London, Out.
London, Ont., July 9.—The city has boon
placed under martial law r and additional
militia ordered out as a result of yester
day’s trouble.
Late last night the police became un
able to cope with the rioters and the
military was called out to clear the streets.
The trouble commenced ln the afternoon,
when crowds drove the non-union crew>
of several streG cat- from their posts
and stoned the cars. One car was set on
fire after the crews had left it and was
almost destroyed. The police dispersed the
afternoon rioters without aid.
The company put six curs on the Dun
kirk street line in the afternoon but did
not attempt to move them to the barns
till night. When the attempt was made
rioting broke out afresh. The mob be
came so boisterous that the riot act had to
he read, which had no> the slightest effect
and Mayor Wilson called out the militia.
Several arrests were made. No one was
seriously injured by the stone throwing.
The city is quiet to-day.
SEALS BEING KILLED OIT.
Provisions of Par id Tribunal .Are

Seattle, Wash., July 9.—E. W. Clark,
who is a special agent of the government
in charge of the seal islands ln Bering
sea, arrived here to-day. He left the Isl
and June 14. Ho said:
“The provisions of the Paris tribunal
are totally inadequate. I om con Aden:
that seal life is not one-tenth as great
as in former years. The destruction of
the herd is still progn ssing under pelagic
sealing. About three out of every five
killed are recovered, the other two sink
ing. Fully three female seals are k lied
to two males.”
Mr. Clark re:orts that there wore no
pelagic sealers around the islands when
he left, hut he was told that the fleet had
gathered and was fol >wlng the seal her I
on its return from Southern waters. 1J
also reported a big salmon catch along the
Aleutian islands.

Washington, July 9.—The war depart

paring the list of appointments of officers
not already announced, for the ten new
regiments of Infantry to ne organized for

there are nearly five hundred of these in

The colonels for nine of the regiments

the tenth, it is said, has not been definitely
dertlrmlned. All the officers of the regi
ments are to be from the regular army
establishment and from among those who

Havana, July 9.—The reception and ball
given last evening by Gen. Ludlow, the
military commander, outshone every other
social function in Havana in recent years.
Innumerable red, white and blue eloelrlo
lights, thousand}* of roses, hundreds of
flags and no end of sabres, bayonets and
rifles artistically grouped made the scene
within the palace memorable.
More than a thousand guests attended.
Music was furnished by two military
bends. All the foreign consuls were in ev
idence, most of them wearing glittering
orders, and many of the women wore
handsome jewels. Gen. Ludlow gave the
function in honor of Indc|>endence Day,
and the representative Cubans and Span
iards of Havana were present.
Seeking the Gratuity.
American officials here are surprised at
the large number of Cubans now apply
ing in the province of Santiago for a share
in the American gratuity. The Cuban of
ficers had assured them that there were
not a hundred men in the province who
would accept money from the United
States, basing the assurance on telegrams
which purported to come from Santiago.
Even when it became known that these
dispatches were inspired by Cuban mal
contents here, and concreted in the ln
glaterra cafe, it was still felt that these
opponents of a rational solution of the
Cuban army question might be able to
prevent o large number from applying to
the American paymasters.
Those who knew the facts of the case be
lieved that the Santiago insurgents were
much underestimated on the rolls, espe
cially as the Cuban generals had always
claimed that more than CO per cent, of
the army was in Santiago province. It
lruns out that the jealousy that existed in
war times between the* Ha*tern and West
ern troops still exists, and that those in
Santiago province are more, likely to re
ject than accept advice from Havana.
An Alleged Robbery.
El Diarlo de La Marina to-day asserts
that a farmer was iccently robbed by a
band claiming to belong to anew Junta
organized to oust the Americans by war if
necessary. It does not give the name of
the farmer nor locate the farm, except to
say that the robbery took place near
Muriel.
A prominent Spaniard said this evening
that most of the letters received by Cocal
business houses show a decided hesitation
to extend operations in Cuba until matters
are mote tranquil.
SPANIARDS LEAVING CUBA.
Many of Them Taking Tlielr Capital
Over to Mexico.
City of Mexico, July 9.—Spaniards for
merly in business in Havana and other
Cuban cities ore now arriving here* look
ing for investments, and say that by Oc
tober fully 139,000,000 of Spanish capital
will have beerTwithdrawn from the island,
for Spaniards of wealth do not wunl to
risk a long period of political unrest and
possible coming into power of professional
Cuban politicians.
This wealth which is being taken away
by Spaniards is good cash, and will main
ly l>e taken to Spain for investment, while
some will come to Mexico.
Spanish merchants and /planters now
here report the English as being the bold
est investors now in Cuba, and declare
the An)> ricans are < mid, and have lost
many large businesses which have passed
into English hands.
Ambassador Clayton has arrived from
Guadalajara and is greatly pleased witn
the remarkable demonstrations of good
will made him by the authorities and
j>eop!e of the stae of Jalisco. The Amer
icans are prospering in trade, mining and
contracting in that state.
YELLOW FEVER AT SANTIAGO.
Fifth Infantry Lost Twenty-Seven
Men fn Two Week".
Nashville, July 9.—A letter received to
day by Will T. Hale of this city from his
son Charles now in Santiago, Cuba, gives
r'ome insight into the yellow fever situa
tion there. He is an olficer in the Fifth
United States Infantry. The letter says:
“Since 1 wrote you last, yellow fever
has broken out here. It carried off four
memlvrs of the regimental band Iri three
days, and in two weeks we have iosr
twenty-seven men out of our regiment.
Four of these were of Company M, the
one to which 1 be ong.
“One tight at 9 o'clock the physician
made us get outside our barracks with
nothing on but the Cuban atmosphere, our
guns, belts and one hundred rounds of
ammunition. He would not allow us to
tarry a rag out with us. The next morning
our company was divided into sma.l
squads in charge of a non-commissioned
officer and scattered all about the coun
try.
ASHORE IN A LAKE STORM.
Two Schooner* nnt! n Steamer Were
St nek llnrtl nail Fast.
Cleveland, July 9.—-Three vessels went
ashore last night dur.ng the gale on Lake
Eric. They were the schooners George
if. Warmington and Sophia Minch, and
the steamer Sequin.
The Warmington and Minch were in tow
of the steamer John N. H idden. They
left Ashtabula early in the evening on
their way up the lake. Several miles west
of Astnbula the Giidden cut loose from
the two schoonets and (hey were permitted
to drift ashore.
It was after midnight before the life
raving or< w got to th< wrecks. The crow
of the Minch, consisting of six men and
one woman, was taken off. The crew of
the Warm ng'.on rema ned on b ard dur.ng
