Aj son as the insurgents withdrew
the inhshitants burned themselves try

fcpanish forces returned and it is alleged
opened fire on those who were fighting

many of whom in their terror rushed
into the burning houses and were cre

The report says forty persons were

that a vessel, the 1'ierre. has arrived at

Everywhere in Kurope energetic meas

ho were on the grounds of J. din II.
Clough of Chicago, fatally wounding
tour of them. Their names are :
Theodore 'rott.
Frank Costi.
Alvin Kothwell.
Charles I'rott.
The most intense indignation has
been aroused among the residents of
Lake county.
Chicago, Jan. 21. The shooting of
the four men on the grounds of Mr.
Clough near Tolleston. Ind., Tuesday
afternoon by the guardu on the pre
serves of the Tolleston club, created
considerable excitement in this city,
where the troubles of the club with the
Indiana people have been giveu public
ity from time to time through the news
pa pers.
The organisation known as the Tolles
ton Bhooting club comprises about 100
of the leading citizens of Chicago and
ha leen in existence more than twen-ty-Hve
years. The club owns 100 acres
at Tolleston. on the Calumet river,
where the various shoot of the organi
zation are held. Although it came into
possession of this projerty in 1871, and
while it bolls a title direct from the
government, many of the residents of
Lake county, the prei-iilent of the club
says, have in recent years defied the
light of the Chicognans to inva le their
community to kdl game. They have
attempted at various times, the mem
bers of the club allege, to destroy the
buildings on the Tolleston grounds and
wstcomen wre placed on guard to pro
tect the property against violence. This
action, on the part of the club, was
taken several years ago. Since then the
quarrels between the watchmen and the
residents have been of frequent occur
ence, with more or less serious results.
About a year ago two of the guards
were shot and seriously wounded Sev
eral other persons were injured In the
skirmish which took place is the
swamps below the grounds. About
tnree years ago two watchmen were
killed during a fight at Crown Point.
The trouble arose over matters pertain
ing to the Tolleston club, and minor dis
putes have been of frequent occurrence.
Cruel War Wages Fiercely.
New York, Jan. 21. A dispatch
to
the Sun from Havana says:
In the province of Pinar del Rio, since
the successful invasion from Havana
by the patriot forces under Brigadier
Castillo, not a day has passed without a
serious engigetuent between the Span
ish troops and the revolutionists.
In the Spanish official reports pub
lished here by the newspapers, after
0 ireful revision by the press censor,
these fights are mentioned as unimpor
tant skirmishes. But even if this were
true they would still prove that the paci
fication of that province Is very far from
having been accomplished.
All the facts show that the war is
waging fiercely, and that now the cruel
warfare of Weyler is at its climax. No
sort of reforms, no promises whatsoever (
from Spain will satisfy the.Cubans. The
indignation they feel against the Span- !
iards grows more bitter every day on ac
count of the outrages authorized by
Weyler, and Cuba will yield to Spain'
only after all the patriot forces have
been exterminated. '
The march of General Gomez west
ward is clearly shown by the great fires
in all the cane fields which were pre-
pared for the harvest as soon as Weyler
I should permit the grinding of sugar.
News lrom Colon says that the flames
all around that town illuminate the sky
I and demonstrate the proximity of On
j eral Gomez torch.
j President Cisneros and his cabinet
will not cross the boundary of Matanzas
! with Gomez. After issuing their last
otlicial statement, condemning all
treaties with Spain not based on the ab
solute independence of Cuba, they will
return to the east,
i Gomez will enter Havana province,
and his intention, it is announced, is to
go forward until he reache.i the out
1 skirts of the capital itself. The financial
situation here is worse, if possible, than
the political state of affairs. With the
monetary embarrassments of the gov
ernment comes almost total suspension
of credit. Povery is spreading in the
capital and there is practically no busi
ness.

to a:tak the Spanish uarrhiis. The
latest instance f this kind c nrred
Monday morning, when a Sjanish
$un'rat was sunk by means of a tor
edo and many f her rre killed. A
Jetaohment f leliels had made an at
tack iiiKin the forts at Giiamo, eome
lihtai.ee up the Caulo river, province
-jf Santiago de Cuba, and the Spanish
trooi.a, fearing that they would not be
able to hold out, afked fir afsimance
from Marzani'lo, on the coaat. On
Saturday night the gunlioats Ontineli
an I Relampago left Manzanillo under
ler to ascend the river and proti ct
the forts. The commander of the gun
boats used all poi-eihle Fjieed in running
up the coast to the mouth of the river,
but when they I e:an to ascend the
stream they proceeded very cautiously,
suspecting that the rebels might have
planted torpedoes in the channel.
All went well until ihe gunlioats were
opposite a place called Mango, when,
despite all the precautions that had
been taken, the Relampago struck a
torpedo. Instantly there was a terrific
explosion and masses of water were
hurled to a great height. The hull of
the Relampago was torn open and she
at once began to sink. There was no
time to lower a boat and almost before
the extent of the disaster could be real
ized the vessel went down. Those on
board of the ship who were not injured
jumped into the water and made their
way as best they could in the direction
of the Centineli. As soon as it was
seen that the Helampago was sinking
the (Ontineli boats were ordered to the
rescue.
A I oal War.

ators in the Dot Moines distiict are en

has resulted in an unheard-of slashing
of prices. At the opening of the season
prices were based on ' for screened
coal. Some of the companies cut prices
till they went down to $1 60 and now it
is announced that larger concerns are
taking contracts at f 1.25. As a reeult
the wages of miners have been cut and
the miners of the Carbondale company,
' 400 in number, struck. They later com
promised and went back, but the Maple
Grove miners are still out and others
are expected to join them.
For Money Making Purpose!.
Boston, Mass., Jan. 20 John L. Sul
livan has decided to maks another ef
fort to get some money. He will join a
vaudeville company. He intends not
only to play in this country but in Eng
land, Ireland and Scotland. People
there have seen him as a boxer but not
as an actor.
Manager Frank Dunn will furnish the
capital and the plans that he and the
big fellow have mapped ought to bring
them in a good sum. The plan is to
get together a strong company of vaude
ville artists, and in addition to their
turns Sullivan will appear in one scene
taken from "The Man From Boston,"
and also do statues, as he did some years
ago when travelling with Lester S
Allen.
After playing in some of the cities in
this country the company will be dis
banded, and in May Sullivan and an
agent will sail for England. A strong
vaudeville company will await Sulli
van' arrival, and the big fellow and hia
new company will start to tour through
England, Ireland and Scotland. It
will take till the latter part of July to
complete the route, and then Sullivan
will return to Boston. In the mean
time Manager Dunn will get together
another vaudeville corrpany to play in
this country.

"The government of the United States

"Peace ought to lie made, not by hag
gling concessions, but by granting to
Cuba the fullest autonomy."
On the other hand, Senor Croizard, a

to be shaven without drawing his eword
is a traitor to his country."

special to the Journal says:
On Thursday last (leneral Rivera, suc
cessor to Antonio .Vaceo in Pinar del
Rio, attacked the trocha near Artemisa,
where a Spanish trocha was stationed.
Rivera's forces attacked about dawn,
and the Spfiiiardi were taken complete
ly by surprise. The Cubans charged
and recharfed through the Spanish
camp, cutting down the troops with the
machete. Ttie sound of heavy firing
caused the Spanish commander to eend
a strong detachment of troops with
artillery along the trocha, and hen
Rivera saw the reinforcements coming
he withdrew.
The advices received here state that
the Spaniards lost nearly 200 killed in
this engagement and a large number
wounded. Two hundred of the Span
iards wounded in this battle reached
Havana Friday at the very time Weyler
was sending reoorts that there were no
insurgents left in Pinar del Rio, and
that the province was pacified.

A New Religion
Pic kins, S. C, Jan. 18.-The Come-
outers is a new religious sect which is
sweeping away old church alignmenta
among the rural devotees of this state).
This people have 88 their champion
Rev. John Elleubag. who moves aooui
fr.im place to place, carrying the people
with him by a si range power. In gen
eral principles they are baptistic, but
hold that a man mutt be re.baptized
every time he commute sin. So many
were the family divisions at first, at
tended by efforts of tbe converted to
bring them to the new faith, that con
tinual wrangler ensued. It was no new
thine to see the hole body of Come
outers baptir.d anew every day, eo
much bo that Cedar creek was kept
muddy.
The Cumeouters acknowledge no
leader but Christ; no discipline but the
Bible; recognizing nothing like a ses
sion, presbytery, synod or general as
sembly, no association or mission
boards ; they have no church roll, never
open or close the doora of the church,
have no clerk, depending entirely upon
the recording angel to write the namef
of true believeis in the book of life, and
to blot them out if they backslide. They
allege that the church is God'e a.pd that
none but He can open or close its doors,
and that none but He tan receive anjj
receive and exclude niembey, and that
He alone can in force the Bible disci
pline. The Comeouters bilieve in man't
free agency, and when one professei
faith in C.iriet the preacher baptize,
him by immersion. If the convert
backslides arid is reclaimed, he must bs
reimmersed. And only such are trui
members of the church as the Come
outers call themselves. They preach .
the doctrine of the "new birth," that it
occurs among all denominations, but
none will remain except such as "fulfill
all righteousness" by submittiug to im
mersion and having their feet washed.
They further believe ihat the day ol
phyeical miracles lias not paBBed, that
miracles are ob frequent and necessary
to life and prosperity of the church now
as they were in the days of the apjstles,
and that their wonder and power at
formerly ie according to the faiih of the
performer and the subject. They sell
all their property when they have any
and live in common, awaiting the com
ing of the Lord. '
