[ Xcw Yoric Herald Cable Special to the
HIK. : ) The situation is dally becoming mure
explosive. A preliminary battle has taken
placpat Hroendersley , In Horth Jutland , be
tween 'J.OOO peasants armed with sticks and
Mones nnd about sixty iuiidarinc4 , In which
the latter were soundly threshed and put to
flight. It Is feared that tWs may lead to even
more serious revolutionary outbieaks In other
parts of the kingdom. The Covert incut
throughout the kingdom Is concentrating
troops at diffcicnt points nn < l making nil pos
sible preparations to crush at the outspt any
further rising. Estrup's ministry , a few
months IIKO cieatcd , contrary to the expressed
will ot thu Danish house of icprcsentatlvcs ,
a large corps of gendarmerie who , In
gaudy
nt.cn AND stLVini UN-ironM1 ? ,
patrol the country as If It were u conquered
province. The most outer feeling exists be
tween the population and the gendarmes.
The former are bo > cottlnK the latter who , In
Rome districts , have the utmost difficulty In
purchasing the necessaries of life. The peas
ants are shunning as they would a pestilence
the hirelings , who , they believe , have sold
themselves to tiiht ; , not the enemies
of their country , but Iho people. The oiigin
nt the battle of Ilroendersloy Is as follows : A
fair was being held at the village , during
which a workman got drunk and made a
great noise in one of ttie tents , Uy n stupid
mistake thu magistrate , instead of sending
for the ordinary policemen , \vlioin Denmark
are aimed meicly with clubs like In London ,
Bent for one ot the hated blue nud sliver
gendarmes.
Ait.vtii ) WIT ; : A SAiinn.
The gendarme tried to arrest the drnnken
workman , but the sight of the uniform of
tlio gendarmerie corps , which the people re
fuse to iccognl/e as lawfully constituted , ex
asperated them like a red Wag waved before a
bull. The peasants .seized the gendarme
before he could draw his sabre and pitched
him headfirst into a large v.it of dirty water.
Six jmoro gensdarmes appeared and
were at once btoned by the
crowd and driven away. A detachment of
lifty gendarmes then came up nnd charged
the orowd with drawn sabres. The peasants ,
wno now numbered l,003 ! , calmly aw.iited
the attack behind a stone wall on the crest of
the hill outside the village. When the
gendarmes came within ten paces they vvero
received with
TiKHiNioi'Ssiiovvnns ! : or STONES.
Eieht gendarmes lell to the ground with se-
veie Wounds and cut heads. The peasants
then , with loud shouts , sprang over the wall
and with long sticks and stones completely
I overwhelmed the gendarmes , who , with lorn
, uniforms and blecdlnc wounds , ran olfas fast
as ( hey could. On the side of the people
tibout thirty were wounded with sabres.
'This ' Is the lirst lime the gendarmes have had
occasion to use their sabres against tlio pee
ple. The government has sent largo rein
forcements of gendarmes and troops , but
several regiments of the latter mo believed to
bo ready to join the people. At tlio last mo
ment thu government is trying its utmost to
discover the
I.EADKUS OF THIS OUTIIIinATv ,
but the movement was so spontaneous that
thcro can barely bo said to have been any
leader ? . The situation Is most critical.
IJerg , the " .Danish O'Connel , " whoso views
have been given heretofore , is doing his
utmost to prevent a further outbreak and
bloodshed. King Christian suppoits more
firmly than ever the Estrup mlnlsterv. The
recent hurried departure of the I'rlncess of
Wales is believed to bo not unconnected with
Iho present strained situation. The blood of
both monarchists nnd constitutionalists Is
now up and lively times mny bo expected.
JUST FIIOM Till : SKAT OF WAll.
LATKH Ilegiirdlng the riots in Denmark ,
since my last telegram I have seen several
eye-witnesses , who describe the encounter as
most exciting. The weather was brilliant
nnd the fair In every way n success. The
roundabouts vvcrn In full swing , the music
playing and the young people beginning to
grow noisy , when suddenly gcndaimo
breaks through tlio crowd and Is seen hand-
line a half drunken man roughly. The gay
scene Is changed in a moment , the uniform
of the gendarme working on the peasants
M ith made effect. Tlio cry Is raised ,
"DOWN wrrii THIS QIINDADHKS , "
nnd sovernl of them close around their com
rade. The cavalry make an attack , using
their swords like wood cutter. * ' axes against
the thick forest of mi in mod men before them.
This served but to enrage thft cio\vd. The
peasants have only sticks but are nothing
daunted. They throw themselves against the
Fohlleis and n fcaiful mclco of swords against
sticks ensued. The air is tilled with tha
cries of the woumlPd. Tents , animals
nnd men Ho scatleied over thu giound and
the swords piav great havoc. JJnt soon the
gendarmes tly for their lives. As soon as
they are out of skht older is lestorcd. The
rcactlonaiv pappr * press for exticmo meas
ures n'alnst ; this bpoutancous outburst of
public feeling and the govoinmcnt is pre-
paicd to act and accordingly a state of slego
has been proclaimed at Uroenderhley. Many
of the wounded vvero atiosted. To-day the
elections for one-half pait of the upper house
commence.

met with only partial success. In tlm wait

THE SITUATION
Catisps Which Led to Alexander's
Return and Abdication.
OHSOVA , Sept. 10. [ New York Herald
Cable Special totlieHKi : . ] A description of
the real situation seems at present , where
nothing Is tobn nltcicd for the better or
wore , most oppoitune. The nrlnco returned
from Lemberg In order to aid in the preserva
tion of the monaichlcal principle which had
been violated. It was his determination to
punish thu revolutionists , to restore quiet and
order In the land and then to leavn liutgatia ,
although he wavered In this latter decision on
account of the enthusiastic reception ac-
roided him by tlio Uultjaiians. The vain at
tempts nt a reconclli.itlon with Kussia , and
tlio consequent exasperation ot the 15ula- ;
nans , had nurtmed and developed in the
hearts of the people a
coMPi.r/rn JIOHAI , nr.wnjmiiMKNT.
Indeed , It Is to be wondered nt that the
people havii withstood to such a degree these
demoralizing iullucnces. The Investigations
regarding the most rpcent conspiracies have
shown beyond all doubt that , Irrespective of
those persons who directly participated in
the coup d'etat , there vvero many who wcro
well infoiiued of the plans , though unwilling
to dlvulgu their information to the proper
authoiitles. Men of high positions and stand
ing have been severely compromised the
complicity of the minister of war , Xikifaion" ,
to cite an instance not to bo doubted. Tlio
only way to restoie order In the countiy waste
to punish all guilty persons and to
SHOOT Tim ICIXQLKADEItr. ,
and this the prince firmly decided to do. Ho ,
however , received a note from Kussia , Ger
many nnd Austria wherein ho was prohib
ited by the powers from executing even one
of the conspirators. Itussla alllrmed that
should the prince dlsiegard her orders she
would immediately retaliate by occupying
Ilulgarla with Kussian troops. Under these
circumstances the prince was naturally de
prived of every possibility of establishing
peaceful relations In his kingdom , Inasmuch
as the revolutionists , by reason of their im
munity from punishment and by means of
well known expedients , could , on the short
est notice ,
CIIKATE ANOTIIIHl UI'KISINO.
The inteiior political condition of Ilulgarla
would , in consequence , become unsettled ,
the discipline ot the army would bo relaxed ,
and the powers would continue to deny the
piinco the authority of restoring peace ac
cording to his will. These facts , taken to
gether , compelled the pi ince to abdicate if ho
did not wish to subject his country to the
dangers of a Kussian occupation. Duringhls
seven years reign the prince has deilvid but
Ilttlo pleasure from ills rule In Bulgaria. Ho
would have long ago relinquished all claims
had he paid regard to personal Interest
merely. An enduring government , sup
ported solely by England's platonic sympa
thy , was an Impossibility , considering the
unavoidable attitude of mighty Kussia to
ward tne prince.
A CONSTITUTIONAL OIUnCTION.
The somewhat nalvn constitution , more
over , having granted the yet young and po
litically Immature nation too extended rights
which It did not know how to employ to ad
vantage , provpd an obstaelo lather than a
biipport to the prince's political activity. Tlio
recall of the prince by tlm people after the
shameful complot Indicates at leasi that tlio
prince understood how to win him
IMTV ron ins O.VUSK.
It was n brilliant act of confidence on the
part of the nat'on ' , but as the prince was
unable to disarm hostility abroad , ho consid
ered it ! > cst to abdicate , and that this could
bo accomplished with dignity , yes , even with
splendor , is fully evidenced by homage such
as has seldom been awarded to n returning
conqiiotor and never to nn expelled prince.

Inquiries from commaudeis abroad as to the

they would Implicitly obey the wishes of the

At a meeting of the sobrlanjo to-morrow a

pectcd to object to any action being taken by

Sioux CITY , la. , Sept. 10. [ Special Tle-o
gram to the UIE , | Much speculation lias
been laised as to what action the board of
supeivisors would take in allowing the
claims of the deputy coroner , Dr. II. E.
Conitr , who served In the early part ot the
Hnddock Inquest. To-day the matter was
decided by allowing the claims , and the
boaid fuithcr sustained the jury In their
conduct of the Haddock murder Investiga
tion. City Marslwl Shaiiloy and Chief
of Police Nclon are still absent
fiom the city , presumably hunting
for parties Implicated In the assassination.
They havobeen away now about two weeks ,
but most dillcent search falls to reveal any-
thingof their exact whereabouts , or what
they have accomplished. Injunction pro
ceedings in seventeen more cases have been
commenced. It Is thought that this round
up will take in about every saloonist in the

September Crop Hcport.
\\ASIII.NOTO.V , Sept. 10. The September
rcpoit of the dppaitment of ngilculturo
showed a better yield of spting wheat than
was expected n month no. There Ins been
an impiovement in the northern belt ot Wis
consin , Minnesota and Dakota. In Nebraska
thcro has been n decline , and In Iowa but
little change. The general average Is SI , an
Increase of four points. The nverago yield
of the crops , so far as the results of thicshlng
ate reported , exceed cloven bushels , and
may reach eleven and n half bnshpls per
acre. Thieshlng of winter wheat in the Ohio
valley gives better returns than expected at
harvest , and theie ts some improvement In
In Mlssouii and Kansas. In the mlddlu nnd
eastern states the peicentages of July aio not
materially changed. In the south the harvest
was disappointing , nnd rains Injured the
product In shock. Ilcturns indicate an average -
ago yield of about twelve and a half bushels
per aero. The entire wheat pro
duct will appaiently exceed th.it of last
year by eighty to ninety million bushels.
The exact determination of the area har
vested and the result of threshing aio easily
equivalent to n variation of at least 2 per
cent. The crop has declined from bl In
August to 77. In the states of the principal
production the status Is as follows : Ken
tucky , from .87 In August to ,90 In
September : Ohio. .bS to .b'J ; Michigan.
SO In northern returns ; Indiana , , 'J1 to ,02
Illinois declines troin ,77 to .7.Missouri iiom
,75 to ,02 ; Kansas .72 to .02 ; Nebraska .70 to
.63 ; Iowa .73 to.07. The loss vu' tof Jn-
diana was caused by drought. In the south
Atlantic states thcie has been no improve
ment. On the gulf coast theio is a slight Im
provement except in Texaswhere the uroughs
has reduced the condition of the present
prop prosjiect , with no further decline It It
14 i > er cent more than last > ear and indicates
over t\\cnty-oiiQ bushels per acre or nearly
sixteen hundred million bushels.

Arrest of an ox-Soldier Wlio Buried
Trcastiros Durinjj tbc War.
CHICAGO. Sept. 10. The Times' New Or
leans special says : Dr. George J. Adams , of
Massachusetts , was arrested hero to-day
charced with embezzlement by a number of
persons whom he defrauded out of money to
se.trch tor a hidden treasure. Adams claims
to have been n practicing physician in
Massachusetts. When the war broke
out he shouldcied his musket and joined
company A , Seventeenth Massaclmsetts
volunteers , a portion of the command which
came with Butler to New Oilcans. In n
foraging expedition three soldiers of the
regiment enteied a dwelling on Magnolia
plantation , twenty miles above New Orleans ,
on the rinht bank ot the river , and carried on"
some 330,000 in gold nnd silver Sl.bOO of it
in silver half dollars , 51,000 In dollars and
the rest in gold. Being afraid to
enter the city with so much money ,
on reachinc a pecan grove about lulf a mile
from the locks at the company canal opposite
Greenville , or rather the upper end of the ex
position grounds , they selected a tree promi
nent for its size and some peculiaiitles about
appp.irance which made it conspicuous. At
the foot of tills tree they butled the money
and took the beailngs , one of the party being
a civil engineer. Each ol the three men wcro
furnished with a copy of this and
the maramlpirtietuined to New Oileans , in
tending * to return after the wai and lecover
the money. His two companions were killed
and Adams desperately wounded soon alter.
Adams was tal en to a southein hospital and
left it p.iraly/ed and perfectly nelpless.
When he recovered the use of his limbs only
a month ago , he retuincd to New Orleans
and at once began to search for his treasure.
He found to his dismay that all the older
pecan tiees had been cut down and only
the young ones lelt , and was consequently
unable to iccocnlzo the tieo under which
the tieasurc was burled. He devoted him
self , however , for three weeks to delving
for It. A few davs ace ho took several other
parties Into partnership with him , who ad
vanced a better outfit for surveying tlio land
and diguing for the ourled money , but ns ho
has succeeded in unearthing no ttcasuro his
partners had him arrested to-day.

Harmony at Ijit. t.
CIIICAOO , Sept. 10. The railway managers
after liuve da.vs' session , succeeded to-day in
reaching tlio basis of n compiomlse , and re-
oigaiildng the Western Height association.
The two prominent obstacles hiuo been the
refusal of the Chicago A Noithvveslcrn to
pool its range cattle business originating in
Western Nebraska and Wvomlng , and the
demand of the Missouri Pacific that , by ic.v
son of Its Lincoln , Nek , extension , it .should
bo awarded a share of thiough busi
ness. The lirst was settled by virtually con-
ccdlngtntho Noithwestoni Itspoint.ThlsvvaB
doueb\ removing the eastern boundary line
of the range cattle pool , as It formerly ex
isted , tunning notth and south through Val
entine , Brady Island and Indlanola , Neb , , to
I.aramlo City and Douglas. This gives the
Northwestern con tin ! of all the cattle shipped
on Its line west of Noriolk to Fort Fetter-
man , fiom which It will exact local rates nnd
not report business to any pool. As both
Union Pacific and the lturllugton arc building
Into that tenilory , it will not enjoy a monopoly
ely longer than the piciont season. The
otncrbono of contention was amicably di
vided by giving the Missouri Pacific 4 per
cut in tlio pool on thiougli business , nnd
awarding Omaha 'J per cent. The Kansas
City , St. Joseph \ Council Bluffs Is awarded
0 per cent of the gross oirnliiL's In the Coun
cil Blulls local pool. Othciwlso the peicont-
ages lemain unchanged.
A committee of one from each road was
appointed to effect the minor details of the
pool , and to repoit to the general meeting at
11 n. m. to-inonow , to which an
adjournment was taken. The pool , which
will endme for live veais , will go into effect

The Army and Navy Rcs'ster ' After
Grroniino'H Scalp.
WAsnixriTox , September 10. The Army
and Navy Register to-morrow will say : " 1
public opinion In and out of the army has
weight in deciding tlio fate of Geronimo and
his band they will bo tried by military com
mission , speedily convicted nud executed
without delay. There Is precedent for such
treatment of them , If one Is needed , in the
ease ot the trial by mllitaiy commission of the
Sioux after tlio .Minnesota massacres in
INK ! . Five bundled of inlsoners vveio
then put on trial , " 00 oC
them vveiu found guilty of minder , and
thlrtv-clght were haneed. Kveiy one of the
band was a prisoner of war at the time of his
escape 1 1 om San Cailos reservation. They
had been placed there by General Crook , and
weie given the liberty of the reservation on
condition of not leaving It. They bioko this
promise and used their privileges to escape
In order to again take the war path. They
aio paroled pilsoncrs taken led-handed in
nets of war , nnd should sutler the punish
ment adjudged by the law of war to such
nets of treachery. "
Gcronlmo Awaiting Action.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 10. General Dium.
acting secretary ot the war dopattment , has
given instructions that Geronimo , Natchez
and other hnstlles who siirrciuleivd with
them be stopped at San Antonio and kept
imprisoned there until a dctctmination is
reached as to wiiat course of procedure can
be taken against them. It Is olllcmlly known
that the suneniler was not made
without conditions ; but what tlm conditions
weie bcjond an agreement that they should
not bo suncndcred for trial In Arizona , has
not jet been icimited. It was in compliance )
with this condition that Gen. Miles started
witli the hostlles for Florida. The
determination of the cause of proceed-
uro will probably bo made by the president.
but not until the terms of the surrender and
attendant circumstances are ofllcially known.
With the present knowledge It seems piob-
able that the olfendyr.s can neither he. tried by
military court marshal nor by civil author
ities , but that they may bo tried ns the
Modocs were by military commission.
