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.

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.

Lo** on the t otton Crop Alone 1* Said to He 93,1*00,000—'Total Dnin 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.

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.

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.

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. MEN AVILL NOW RE ADMITTED. National Conure** of Mother* AA 111 Cbunge It* Name.

LUDLOW'S GLOWING FUNCTION, j gorgeous rih eitio\ in honor of iM)i:i'i:mm:m i: day. Colored Lights. riotvrrn, Fliu;. Im plements of Warfare and Martini Dress. Made tle Scene Pieturosque and Memorable—}liny More Sol- j dlers Than Were Mipeeletl Seek- j i iix the American Grntuit} In San- j tinso Trovinee. 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.
