now fully 6,000 Insurgents under arms. They
are II n dozen or more detachments but are
giving the government 10 end of trouble. In
many cases the Spanish troops have been
beaten back with hoary loss. The most
deplorable feature of the warfare Is the pH-
aglng ] and buring , The Insurgents have
, gained confidence slnco the beginning ot the
trouble and maters In the easter district
are In almost as bad condition as during the
war at 18G8
"N w leaders are springIng up , and by
force of their Intellect and ability they have
Induced the Insurgents not to boll oft longer
for the arrival of toallers. The general opin-
Ion II Santiago Is that It the Insurgents can
hell out till summer the yellow fever will

Masse ara coundent of taltng Santiago before
October. The Spanish troops are guarding

without giving the strictest account at him-
self. 1 Is as much as a man's life Is worth
In santiago to talk In favor of the Cubans
or tel the truth. Several persons have bean
shot on account of an expression of opInion.
"Instances where the Spaniards were (10-
fented have been publshell as government
victories. .I'our Spanish cruisers were lu the
harhor of Santiago one week ago but now
there arc but two guarding the easter coast

The passenger also said the revel would
kill busIness In Cuba for two years. Money
I already scarce. and prices are high. A

L hatred of the Americans.
Nothing official has been received of the
report of the SpanIsh cruiser firing on the
Alliance. 1 Is understood that tile SpanIsh
ofcials In Havana claim that the Ailanca
was within three miles of the shore , and

her refusal to halt.

as required by Consul Williams , and It Is be-

LONDON , March 17.-A dispatch from
Madrid to the Standard says that time govern-
lent Is only able to count upon the support
or the polcc , the civil guard having deelnel ]
to act against the young officers who took
part In the riot at the olces of m Globo.
The spirit of the garrison shows that almost
nil the ofcers' sympathize with the young
rioters. There Is great exciement In the
city. No such military eontct has been seen
silica the restoratIon or the monarchy. The
dispatch alhl3 : "The queen regent Is mnmihi
affected , Senor Sagasta and his ooleagues ,
wih the exception of the minister ot war ,
decided to resign dIrectly they were apprised
of the feelIng among the military. I has
been learned that the military deputatIon
that visited the council formulated conditIons
that no goverment could accept.
A constitutional crisis Is on. According to
the milItary code , those who slander the army
through the press ought to be tried by court-
martial , when , according to the press laws ,
such maters ought to be submitted to a jury
The supreme court decled In favor ot civIl
precedure despite this. The minister at war
clnformlng to the desires expressed by the
officers ot the garrison , proposed to the cabinet -
net that a court.mnrtal be summoned to try
the cases. A majority of the ministers representing '
resenting the cvi clements opposed this pro- , .
cedure whereupon Prime MinIster Sagastn de-
cared It was Impossible for him to continue
longer In 0111cc. All the ministers then tendered .
dered their resIgnations. Marshal Campos assumed -
sumed command of the garrison tonIght.

My father was lie most courageous and was

by a very great number or Kurds. The
Kurds assailed us like wolves , bIt they could

TROOPS SHOWED NO ERCY.
"Troops wished to show mercy to nobody ,
not even to time chIldren or to the old men.
The shells as they burst mowed down all :
before them , as grass before a seytho. We
lied . amid began to seek refuge In our rocks
and caverns , but the cannon continued to' '
sweep everything , stones and men. The
tames and smoke ot our burning homes
reached us In our caverns. The commanders
of the Hamadle ( irregular cavalry ) pitched
their tents on some of the heights , and , with
field glasses In their hands , they observed the
hiding places ot the mountaIns , and It they
perceived behInd a steno the head of a man
they immediately went there. The . : oldlers
cut to pieces all they found there , without
Ilstncton of age or sex. The heads at the
victinis were brought as trophies to the commander -
mander : : Those who round refuge In the cav-
erhs could only leave In the night. The
Kurds commited all kinds of atrocites ,
They round no pleasure In killing adult men ;
they hunted for childremi . threw them on the
ground and plunged daggers In their bodies.
After this they pitched them Into the air
and turned the daggers In them and threw
them against a stone , saying : "When you
are grown you would fight us ; better go to
hell. " (0 ( jalhan ma. ) Then they trampled
the bodies , under root :
"Tho Kurds hunted me to kill me , because
they knew that I was neither lazy nor sleepy
In killing them. We decided , I and my two
companions to fly 10 nussla. 'VI fed tram
Sassoun and readied the torest. Entering , we
heard n heavy and heartrending sigh. GoIng
to the sound we round Mire , from Khatan ,
a courageous Sassoun man , from whose mouth
flowed blood. 'VI took Mire and carried him
secretly , but when we reached the wheat
field the Kurds saw us and pursued. Then
each of us gave a kIss to our dying compat-
riot and fled . The Kurds took Mire , dragged
him Into a sheep fold and set fro tl It. All
was burned.
"My uncle was killed In the flgiting ; the
other members ot our family took refuge In a
cavern The place was so difcult to reach
that we had to draw up the women and children -
dren one by one hy ropes
"My companion , Avetl , had five uncles , or
whom ICimaso anti Khaeho were kIlled ; In the
famiy MIre three men were killed , the uncle
of Keyph , Ave , also was klle , ! I you wish ,
I can name one by one all the persons killed
and tel you how many cattle were driven

mass by Mgr . Satol , and a sermon by IC\ '
Father Hlchlds , president \ of GeorgetOvl

St. Patrick and the Irish tace. Mgr. Sntoll
was assisted by 11ev. } nlher Sharetl , flus-
sell and n large number ot the local Catholic
clergy , Ills eeebratlon ] of the mass was
accompanied by orchestra , choir and organ.
President hlichiards' sermon was notable In
portrn'hIK the Irish race as God's chosen
people of modern times , ns the Jews hal ]

ton , and also In Its eloquent tribute of
loyalty to the pope and his American representative -

Driven from homo by unjust laws , uy op.

erful In India : they are invadIng nil the
countries of EurOIJe. European countries are
taking ] possession of the OrIental regions
nnd the ancIent prophecy of Noah Is In
course of realization , with the Irish giving
back to the east the faith It had . rejected.
Father Rchards referred to the dlstn-
gnlshed characteristic ot tIme Irish In theIr
unwaverIng fidelity to the see of Home , whIch
equipped them for their , world's missIon.
Then , adlesslng Mg Satol , he said :
"Venerable prelate , from the moment you set
toot emi these shores , the heart of the Amer-
Ican church bade you a joyful anti respectful
welcome. ,
. , .
"Wo ore all ot us IrIsiiall ; at us Romans
In our welcome to thee. \\'liei , thrdore , you
write to the glorious pontiff , whom you so
worthily represent , say t4e hearts of his
chIldren In America beat with only one 1m.
IJlseloyaly and love for the ( see of Peter.
In his words , however much the world may
carp and blame , we know ] 'we shall find the
purest faith , the most devoted patriotism.
Ask hIm to rely upon our obedience and cur
affection . and Implore him to bless , from his
throne ot suffering , his children ] In these
United States that we. under Leo , may
carryon , with high beared courage and
beated
steadfast truth the mission entrusted by
Celestne to St Patrick an the Irish race. "
The statement had added significance on
account o the persistent , bit groundless , re-
port that the Jesuit order' was not In full [
sympathy with Mgr. Saolit's mission. Pres-
Ident Richards Is one of .the influentIal mem-

The first nlarm for time lire came by telephone -
frst
phone to the district ofces at 10 a. ni. A few
mlnutls previously a resident of the neighborhood -
hood of the roundhouse saw a small fame
burst ant at the cupola , and he ran to the
onee of the foreman , directly across from the
roundhnusl and notified those In charge.
General l-.IoremJn Howard summoned the
company's private fro department , consistIng
of fifteen men , to the scemie and a stream of
water was directed towarl ] the blazing cupob.
A heavy wind was blowing and tht ( fire ate
its way down the roof of the roundhouse.
WARNING CAME TOO IATE.
When Fire ChIef Mayo reached the fire ho
saw that there was danger of the flames
reaching the oil honse , repair shops and the
Wabash elevator , all In close proximity , and
ho immediately sent In a general alarm.
MeanwhIle the road's fire company hall di-
reeted its efforts toward smothering thl
names In the ( southeast ell or the structure ,
'
which menaced the 'al home , and ( lie fire at
this point was held fairly In cICI , . The
roof was already ablaze and threatened to
collapse every moment , but the failing or the
wals was not at this time anticipated. The
Iron braces supporting the roof expanded In
the intense heat and the frail frame covering
gave way with a mumed roar , falling In on
time stale engines. At this moment the
southwest wall , eighteen feet high and
eighteen Inches ( hick , was seen to totter out-
\'at , rorm.tha lateral pressureot the falling
reel and n yell rent IIJ to apprise .ir their
danger the fIfteen men at work at this per ,
ton of the building. The warnIng came too
late and twelve or the men were burled In a
plo of brick several feet higlm That enl ) ' .
two were killed outright was nothing short
of miraculous.
Streams of water were poured on the amok-
ling debris , and , as soon as possible. the work
of rescue began. Dowen and Post were
hurled completely and were dead some time
tme
before their bodies were reached. The were
badly crushed Dowen's' features belug un-
recognizable. Bohlmnn was taken out In aim
unconscious conditIon and removed to his
home where he died a few hours afterward .
Dy this time half a dozen physIcians had
reached the scene and attentIon was directed
toward carrying out the injured Leary wa :
found to be the worst sufferer , and It was
feared he would scarcely hive out lie day
The others , though badly used up wi prob.
ably all recover. TIme firemen had n stubborn
fight with the now dOOnd round house , the
heavy wind greatly aiding the fmes , At
non the fire was practically under control ,
aCer destroying all that was inflammable of
the building. The property loss Is estImated
at $100,000 , probably Insured. The round-
hous , which had a cJpacly of twenty loco
motives , contained only six engines , and tileS ?
are all badly damaged. A Wheeling & Lake
Erie coal car and a Baltimore & Ohio box
car were also consumed ,
