LONDON , Juno 27. In the House of
Lords today the premier , the marquis of
Salisbury , announced that he hoped to ob
tain the quorum's consent to a dissolution of
Parliament on July 8.
Lord Salisbury said the tlmo had not yet
arrived tor a declaration of policy to be ma3e
In behalf of the conservative party. The
latter , ho added only had ono policy at pres
ent , qnd that was to dissolve Parliament aa
soon as possible.
Lord Ilosebery expressed surprise at the
government declining to disclose Its policy.
Continuing , the ox-prcmler asked for an ex
planation of the marnuls of Salisbury's
strange proceeding In tending to Mr. H.
flC/y pbcll-IJannerman , the secretary of state
'r8f war , on Tueslay morning for the seals ot
the lattcr's office.
The marquis of Sallsbary salj the Ro'ebery
statement was Incorrect. He explained that
after Friday's vote In the Hou'o of Commons
be , the marqulu of Salisbury , thought It de-
Blrablo to appoint a new minister cf war
forthwith , and therefore ho sent to Mr. H.
Campbell-Uannerninn to ask him It It was
convenient for him to deliver his olflc al seals
to the sovereign earlier than the other min
isters , and If ho did not desire the trouble
of going to Windsor himssli ha couhl deliver
them to the private secretary of the marquis
of Salisbury.
The earl of KImberley , late sccrc'ary of
state for foreign affairs , asserted the mar
quis of Salisbury had sent his secretary to
Mr , Campbcll-tlanncrman for the seals Just
as ho would send a footman on an crranJ ,
and he thought the action of the marquis was
extremely discourteous.
In reply the marquis of Salisbury said If
Mr. Caniphell-Hannerman thought he , the
marquis of Salisbury , had acted discour
teously , he begged to express his extreme
regret for the occurrence and felt very sorry
far it.
Lord Uosebcry accepted the apology of the
marquis on behalf of the late secretary of
state forthwith , and the House adJourneJ.

HAVANA , June 27. Details reached hero
today of a desperate fight between a portion
of the Insurgent force , under Maximo Gomez ,
In the province of Puerto Principe and seventy
of the nuxllllary troops ot the Spanish gov
ernment , known as guerillas. The engage
ment took place on the ? day of the Insurgent
raid upon San Geronlmo. The seventy
guerillas were surprised by the vanguard of
Gomez' forces , commanded by Mirabel , nnd
there was great slaughter on both sides , the
fighting being mainly with machetes. The
guerillas unexpectedly came upon the In
surgent vanguard , consisting of about -100
men.
men.At
At first the guerillas Imagined they had
only a comparatively small body of men be
fore them and their commander , Aguerrov
called upon Ihe Insurgents to halt , crying out
"Who goes there ? "
"Spanish forces , " was the reply of the In
surgent forces , as their men continued to
advance rn/ildly upon the govenumnt forces.
Twice or three times more did the guerillas
try to halt the insurgents , but the latter
pushed on quickly until finally their leader ,
seeing that the guerillas were In an awkward
position , cried :
"At the machetes. "
Thlsl cry showed the guerillas that they
were confronted by Insurgents , and not by a
detachment of Ppanlali guerillas , as they had
be n led to believe , and the mask being
thrown off , the guerillas replied to the then
oft repeated cjle-s ot "nt the machetes" with
volleys from their carbines as they com
menced to retreat before the vastly superior
forces of the Insurgents.
Then the government soldiers and the In-
aurgent troops became engaged In a hand-to-
hand combat , which quickly became little
more than a massacre of the unfortunate
guerillas. The Insurgents In the meantime
I had been reinforced until they arc said to
have numbered fully 1,500 men , competing
| the main body of men under the command of
i Gomez. Against these overwhelming num
bers the guerillas fought heroically. shoutIng -
Ing "Viva Espagna" as they defended themselves -
[ selves as best they could against the enemy ,
i The insurgents now pressed forward from
jail sides upon ( he little band.
For an hour the fight lasted and nothing
could be heard but the rattle of musketry
nnd the thouts of the combatants and the
clashing of machetes. It is believed that few.
If any , of the gueiillas escaped being killed
or wounded.
The Insurgents engaged with the guerillas-
are believed to form part of the body of
men which recently burned the towns of El
Multo and San Geronlmo , after capturing the
forts and garrisons ot those places , and It is
said the news ot this fresh disaster has
cans-ad a very uneasy feeling In official cir
cles. There Is no doubt that If government
officials are willing to admit these disasters
to the Spanish army In Puerto Principe , so
close to the capitol of the province , the situa
tion of affairs there must be very grave
Indeed , nnd may prove much more serious.
Maceo is reported to have made his way
from the province of Santiago de Cubi to
'uerto Principle and joined his forces to
hose of Gomez. H Is sald In official circles
lere today that de Campos has cabled the
Spanish government asking for large reln-
orccments of troops ? from Spain.
A Ivicos received here from Santiago de
Juba today say Insurgent forces numbering
bout 400 men made nn attack upon Tlarrlba.
n the province of Santiago de Cuba , and that
hey were repulsed and are now In flight nnd

easy It Is by the assistance of office holdcis
to pack a con\entlon , but any one who has
visited Kentucky knows that the convention
did not represent the sentiments of a large
majority of the people of the state , who arc
undoubtedly opposed to the gold standard
and In favor of the resumption of tliu coinage -
ago of both gob and slher. "
The general then went on to show that a
split of the democratic party Vas almost In
evitable at the coining national convention.
"This Is the outlook now , " he said , " and I
bsllcvo It Is safe to pre.Uct that John Sher
man and Gnner Cleveland will vote for the

Ic was one of the leaders of the fight made

He takes exception to some of the reports

o the silver question and In discussing th <
mntter today said : "It Is very amusing ti
ead some of the press reports of the con

Ion that the silver men were In favor o

lalined that the gold advocates Insisted 01
declaration regarding the currency ques

any subject , and that the silver men dli
not want any declaration regarding the cur

"Every one who was at Cleveland know
hat this Is an utter perversion of thr > facts
The silver men met before the committee 01

olonel Trumbo of Utah to offer a stralgh

hat they would demand a plain am

They insisted that the question should no
be Ignored. In accordance with these In
structlons Colonel Trumbo presented a fre
silver resolution In the convention and 1
was offered to the committee on resolutions
The sub-coinmltteo of eleven , after man ;

The silver men on the sub-committee , o
whom I was one , Mr. Allen of Utah bein
ihe other , brought In a minority repor
ugalnst the address and the silver me
unanimously and with great vigor foiigh
the adoption of the address before the who !
convention , finally defeating It by a nnanl

the subject. ' The silver men wanted an
Instated on a declaration In regard to sllvei
and took the position In the beginning an
maintained It to the end , that the con\cntlo
should take a position either for or agalns
silver.
"They stated repeatedly that if an
public questions were touched upon 1
the platform , If the platform of 1SS
was endorsed. If the leaders of th
party were endorsed , or If anything c
any political nnture were attempted , the
would take their fight to the floor of th
convention and there demand full debate an
a clear expression on the financial questloi
"The opponents of silver finally agreed t
compromise by utterly Ignoring everythln
which looked like policy and by declarln
that under the constitution of the leogu
they were debarred from giving expresslo

Jectlon to this course , as they were entire !
willing to leave the matter open until tl

Concluding , Senator Dubo > a said : "Thei

WASHINGTON. June 27. General DuflMd ,
superintendent of the const and geodetic sur
vey , was asked today for an cxplinatlon of
the changes In his office announced yester
day. These changes amounted practically tea
a reorganization of the bureau. In reply he
said : "A reduction of force was made nee-
e&'ary by the fact that the new appropriation
for the support of the olllce Is totally Inade
quate for the maintenance of the force as al
present organized. In this , as In other pub-
1'c scivice , there arc men who remain with
It from year to year until they become vet
erans , and while I should not want to reflect
on Individuals , It occasionally becomes nec
essary in the Interest of tbo service to lei
them out In order to give the new blood o
chance. The older men who were relieved
are men whq had been In the service a long
term of years antl who had drawn large sala
rles. The change effects a considerable sav
ing to the government and enables us tc
promote several worthy men and will , 1
think , redound to the benefit of the service. '
The fact that Mr. DavUson whu has beer
In charge the past > ear Is among those wlic
haxo boor relieved has called for some com
ment , and when Mr. Dufllcld's attention was
drawn to the fnct he said the change was
made In accordance with tno general plai
of dispensing wKh the older men.
"Mr. DaMdbon Is , " ho said , "a vete'an o

him out. Mr. Rogers , who wjll succeed him

WASHINGTON , June 27. The expenditures
for the four jears of civilian administrator
of the Weather bureau ending Juno 30 an
estimated at $3,393,090. The appropriation !
for the same period have been $3,032 933
These facts are pointed out In an ofllcla
statement detailing the growth of the bureau
The expenditures for the present fiscal yeai
will aggregate $335,000 , against total appro
priations of $878,439. The estimated suiplui
for the bureau remaining in the treasury Jul ;
1 will be $43,439. The average annual ex'
pense of the service for ten years under tin
military organization was 5924,061 ; and undo
four years of civil organization $849,523.
The olllclil statement sajs : "While thi
military administration had generally to appl ;
for a deficiency on each year's disbursement
the civilian administration had nn avcragi
surplus of about $58,700 each year. Tha
this annual surplus Is less in the earlle
years of the civilian organization Is due to th
fact that the service was then undergoing ;
rapid growth. In the two following year
attention was devoted rather to consolidate
than to further growth.
The military estimate of the cost of ;
civilian service In 1891 by General Hazen wa
$1,293,930. Thus the bureau has been car
rlcd on at a cost of $41,407 less per yea
than was deemed possible by General Hazel
and $77,950 less than the estimate for a psr
fected military organization , the cost of whlc !
was put at $927.479. Daring these foil
years the work of the bureau has bee ;
greatly Incrcised. Perhaps the best Inde
of this Increase Is the number ofcatlie
maps and crop bulletins Issued. The as
grtgate number of these for the present flscc
jcar Is estimated at 3.738,000 , of which 3,629 ,
000 are weather maps and 109,000 bulletins
The average j early number of all these Is

SAN FRANCISCO. June 27. Shortly be
fore G o'clock a flre broke out In the rear
of the San Francisco box factory , located
on the corner of Fifth nnd Brvant streets.
The factory was a two-story building , filled
with Inflammable material. The flames
Epraail rapidly , and It soon became apparent
that a serious conflagration was threatened
A second alarm was turned In as the fire
began spreading to the Liberty Soda works
adjoining , on the other side of the block.
Within a few minutes the entire cast end
of the block , bounded by Brannon and Bryant
streets , was a mass of flames. A strong
southerly wind was blowing , and It was
deemed necessary to turn In a third alirm.
The flames soon spread all over the
destroying In a few minutes the yards
the Spring Valley water works and the
nlture factory of II. Euhler ; the box factory
of KOI bell Bros. , at 723 Bryant stree-t ; also
the stable of H. Washburn at C57 Brjanl
street , and the carriage factory ot G. W.
Phelan and the soda factory of J. Host-
mann were nil destroped In short order. The
high winds which fanned the flames nnd
swept them on their mad career , drove the
firemen back by degrees , nnd the situation
became critical. Long tongues of flame
shot out from the burning mass clear across
the street , nnd from time to time the host ,
had to bo turned on distant buildings , which
were threatened by the fast spreading flames.
The firemen were reinforced by the full de
partment by this time , and fought man
fully to confine the fire within the block
where It originated.
FIRE SPREAD SOUTH.
By 0:45 : the whole of the block bounded
by Fourth , Fifth , Biannon anJ Bryant
streets was deatroyeJ , with the exception of
the mnchlne shops on the corner of Fourth
nnd Bryant. At that hour the fire was
spreading eouth toward Illuxom , sweeping on
Its way the lumber yard of D. N. Van Wart
on the corner of Fourth and Brannon , the
Meetian Lumber company on Brannon street ,
and various small machine shops and tene
ments.
While the department was struggling with
the flames , which grew fiercer and fiercer
every moment , every available resource at
the command of the Southern Pacific com
pany was drawn upon to chock the advance of
the fire. The Intense heat made It difficult
to utilize to Its full capacity the water sup
ply , which wa.3 anything but snifllclent , owing
to the unusual number of hv rants called Into
play all over the district. The water tower
rendered most efilclent service , furnishing
a stream of water which couH be rendered
serviceable where the other streams thrown
upon the flames were turned Into steam be
fore they had barely left the nozzle. The
Wright , Garrick & Williams box factory is
entirely destroyed , Main & Winchester's
harno-s factory on Fifth and Br > ant streets
Is a complete loss.
At 75 : ! p. m. the flre was still out of all
control. The houses along ihe lines of the
cro s streets' surrounding the block bounded
by Fourth. Fifth. Bryant and Brannon , were
nil more or less-ln flame' , wl h the fl"o workIng -
Ing to the northward across Bryant street.
The entire block lioun-Jel by Fourth , Fifth ,
Bluxom and Brannon streets Is a mass ol
ruins. The flre has rcache ] the Overlain ]
Transfer company's brick freight house and
the hardware storehouse cf Baker & Hamil
ton. These brick buildings have temporarlb
' checked the flames , but they nro working
I nround to the yards. A number of Immense
wool warehouses hava b ° on destroyed.
IMMENSE WINERIES IN FLAMES.
The enormous brick winery of Lichman &
Co. . which contains over 1,000,000 gallons o
wine , has Just caught fire at one corner. I' '
Is thought , however , that this property car
be paved. The wind Is blowing half a gall
and the sparks nre being carried for blocks
greitly Increasing the spread of the flre. Tli !
winery of Lachman Jackeby , which Is evei
blggT than the Lachman winery , nt the cor
ner of Third and Brennan street , has no
yet been reached by the flre nnd the firemei
are devoting all their energies to keep 1
from sprendlng In that direction.
9 p. m. The flre has now been raging foi
three hours and Is burning as fiercely a :
ever. Now that darkness has fallen , thi
magnitude of the conflagration .Is beglnnlni
to be appreciated by the people The vvholi
southern skv Is ablaze , and thousands o
people nro flocking to the scene from al
parts of the city. The police are having ban
work to keep the multitude out of dange
and to give the firemen room In which t
work. Every engine and fireman In the clt ;
Is nt work nnd all extra policemen are belni
pressed Into service.
O.lfi p. m. The flre at the Lachman wlner ;
appears to be checked , but It Is eating It
way on all sides of the big brick building
Kohler & Van Bergen's winery Is only a hnl
block from Lachman's , nnd there U n pros
pect that that also may be reached by th
il
flames.
If the fire does not abate shortly the.fir
departments of Oakland. Berkeley nnd sur
rounding towns will bo called upon fo
assistance.
Ono death Is reported , a Miss Gllroy. whll
attempting to save some of her belongings
was covered with burning oil and burned t
death. A number of people have receive' '
Injuries fiom falling walls and flying tlm
bers. The people In the fire district ar
panic-stricken. Most of the people are o
the poorer classes and are making deter
mined efforts to save their small belongings
Express wagons nnd drnys nrc at a premlui :
and people are moving out blocks away fror
the flre. Probably 100,000 people are gaih
cred nt the fire nnd the police arc powerles
to keep them away. The fire Is FO hoi
however , that the unmanageable crowd doe
not get near enough to be In serious dangei
SHIFTING WINDS HELPED 'OUT.
0:30 : p. m The fire department official
pronounce the flre under control. The win
has shifted to the southwest , driving th
flnmes back over the burned district. Th
limits of the flre now are confined to th
houses Immediately about the burned terrl
tory. The flnmes are now within 100 yard
of the railroad yards and offices , but It I
not anticipate.'that ! they will be destroyed
over 100 families have lost their homes an
all they possess. A largo number of horse
were burned In their stables.
The change In the wind and the bigbrlc
wineries and the railroad offices are wha
saved the day for the firemen. The flame
were checked by these structures and tli
firemen had a chance to do some worl
Now that the flre Is going back over th
burned territory , the firemen are paying n
attention to It. but are watching the bl
buildings that seem to be in danger. It Is nt
, g ' believed that the loss will be as great as t
first estimated. Probably ? 2,000.000 wl
cover It. It Is nearly a total loss , howevei
' o I as. owing to the the dangerous condition (
, j the district. Insurance rates ha\e been s
high that Insurance was almost prohibited.

SOUTH ENID. Okl. , Juoo 27. The double
.ragcdy hero yesterday In which H. W. Paterson -
erson , register cf the United States land
ifllce , and City Marshal Williams were killed
las created the wildest excitement. Editor
senberg's wound Is serious , though not nccos-
arlly fatal.
All three of the men had many friends , and
sides are being taken by the citizens. Iscn-
berg came to Enid shortly otter the opening ,
September 1C , 1893 , and started the Dally
Wave. Ho Is a fearless fighter , and writes
with a pen dripping with wormwood. 4le
las made a practice of scoring his enemies
mercilessly In season and out of season. He
was opposed to Patterson primarily because
10 was what he terms a "carpet bagger , " but
moro op account of his being a southerner.
The Wave Is a democratic newspaper , but II
as not fa\orcd with the land olllce printing
and Isenbcrg attributed this fact to the
machinations of Patterson.
Isenberg Is one of the best known newspa
per men In Oklahoma. Shortly after the Still
opening he was assaulted by Editor Whl akei
of the North Enid Tribune , who struck hlir
when he was not looking. Before he couK
retaliate a crowd separated them.
Register Patterson was well liked. He wa !
a brilliant public speaker , and an enterprising
courageous man.
A coroner's Jury , sitting over the bodies , re
turned a verdict that Williams came to hlf
death by a shot from the pistol of Patter on (
while Williams was ? In the discharge of hi !
duty , and that Patterson came to Ills ileatl
by a pistol shot fired by Olficer Wllllanu
while Pattershon wflp resisting arrest. Wil
liams was burled today In the city cemetery
Patterson's body was shipped to Macon , Ga

REf USES TO CONFIRM SWOBE OR DUMONT
Course ConilcnniPil by Members Who Ho-
clnro It Is I'riiftlrnllr " Attempt to
Cocrro Another SrMlnn Will
llo IIvlil tills Mornlnc *
After n midnight session In which the sols
business to bo transacted was the conllrma-
tlon of an appointment to the city treas-
worship , the city council adjourned last n ght
without accomplishing anything other than to
practically assure the mayor that George
Helmroil Is the only mnn whose appointment
It will confirm. The names of Thomas
Swobe and J. H. Dumont were turned do\\n
with llttlo ceren'ony. and as Mayor llemls
refused to make another appointment at that
time an adjournment was taken until 10
o'clock tlus forenoon , when It Is expected
that another name will be presented.
A caucus which Included nil the republican
members except Dechel was held In the city
clerk's ofllc'o Immediately before the council
convened. At this time the plan to force
the appointment of George llclmrod was fully
developed and the members agreed to vote as
a unit to defeat any other appointment that
might be made.
When the council w.is called to order the
Judiciary committee fulfilled expectations by
presenting a report in which It recommended
that the appointment of Thomas Swobo bo
ot confirmed , The report was declared
dopted and the roll call on confirmation re-
jlted A > es Ilechel , llurkley , Calm. Holmes ,
, emly 5. Nays Hack , Ugrdon , Jncobsen ,
aynes , Kennard , Kment , Mercer , Prince ,
'aundcrs ' , Taylor , Thomas , Edwards 12. No
peechcs were made , except when llurkley
\plalncd his vote by saying that to vnto
gainst confirmation was practically to vote
o continue Mr. llolln In olllce , and this ho
as not prepared to do.
Saunders then moved that a recess of fifteen
ulnutcs be taken , and that the Hergennt-at-
rms bo Dent to not fy the ma > or of the
ctlon of the council. This action was taken
returned with the
nd the sergcant-ut-arms
ppolntment of J. II. Duinont. Kment
anted to icfer this appointment also , but
ahn protestedami a compromise. vvaa
cached by taking a recess , during which
lie republican members caucused In the pres-
lent's room. When they again appeared a
iallot was taken. The result was the same
s In the previous case , except that Thomas
nd Edwards swung around and voted for
lonflrmatlon. Tills made the vote 10 to 7
gainst confirmation.
PREFERENCE FOR HEIMROO.
Another recess was then declared , and
gain the sergeant-at-arms was sent In quest
f the mayor. This time he was gone fully
lalf an hour and returned wltti the tnforma-
lon that the mayor had gone out of the ap-
lolntlng business for that evening. 1'rlnco
hen sprung the caucus plan by Introducing a
esolutlon by which the mayor was not fled
hat In the opinion of a majority ot the coun-
II George Ileimrod was the proper man for
he place , and If the mayor would submit his
lame the appointment would be promptly
cmfirmcd.
Thomas moved to refer and llurkley fol-
.owed with a motion to table. Jacobsen sup
ported the resolution , which ho claimed was
merely designed to Inform the mayor of the
sent ment of the council.
Buridey declared that the resolution con-
emplatcd the appointment of a city treas
urer by the council. The charter vested the
appointing power In the major , and he ob
ected to any attempt on the part of the
council to coerce that official.
Ilechel took the same view and declared
hnt he would not be a party In an attempt
o dictate to the mayor whom he should ap
point. Mercer suggested as a substitute
hat a committee be sent to the mayor to
urge him to submit another namo. The
nanner In which the council was acting
n the matter was bound to make trouble
and to Injure the credit of the city.
FAULT WITH THE COUNCIL.
Calm said that the delay was the fault of
he council and not of the mayor. The
mayor hail tent In the names of as good men
as could b ? found In the city , but the coun
cil had stubbornly refused to confirm.
llurkley Inquired why they did not re
solve that they would vote to confirm no
nan except one whom they could control In
matters of appointment , as every one knew
that this was where the difficulty lay.
The resolution was carried by the stereo
typed vote of 10 to 7 , and by way of taking
the curse oft a committee consisting of
Mercer , Saunders and Taylor was appointed
to convey It to the mayor.
The committee was absent until 11-30 ,
when it returned with the report that It
had been unable to Induce the mayor to
send In another name until ho had had
borne tlmo for consideration. The comtnitteo
consequently requested the adjournment to
this forenoon , which was agreed upon.
