In Disorder.
HAVANA , July 8. A serious engagement
has taken plao between the Paris troops
under the command ot Colonel Azuar and
General Antonio Maceo , at the head of a
largo force. Two hundred and eighty were
killed.
U appears that Major Sanchez received In
formation that a force of l.COO Insurgents ,
tinder the command of Rabl , had occupied
strong positions ncars Mazanlllo , province ot
Bantlago do Cuba , The major sent a mes
senger to his superior officer , Colonel Azuar ,
proposing to him that they should Join their
Ki. forces and make an altack upon the In
.
r - * , * . Burgents. The messenger , however , fell Into
i the hands of the Insurgents , who hanged him ,
and sent word to Major Sanchez In the name
of Colonel Azuar , to make an attack upon the
Insurgent position from a point which com
pelled the troops to approach the Insurgents
through a narrow thoroughfare. Major
Sanchez , recognizing the difficulty of the
movement which ho was apparently directed
by his colonel to execute , sent forward two
advance pickets of twelve and thirty men
respectively , under the command of two ser
geants , with Instructions to push forward to
the right and lo Ihe left ot the narrow thor
oughfare1 , far removed from them , and to be
careful to take up advantageous positions
from which they could protect the advance
of 'he main body of troops under Sanchez's
cortmond. The sergeants cleverly followed ou
the Instructions.
Major Sanchez then advanced carefully upon
the Insurgent position , prelecting his men by
every Inequal'ty of the ground. But , as he
expected , the troops were no sooner Inside
the defile than the Insurgents attacked then
In force. The first charges of the Insurgents
were made with enthusiasm , nnd their
machetes played havoc among the Iroops , wh
were hemmed In and unable to deploy on ac
count of the narrow road they had to follow
Hut It was hero that t'io Iwo advance plckel
under Iho Iwo sergeants came to the rescue.
From Ihelr elevated position they kepi a con
tinuous and well-directed fire upon the In
surgents within range , and eventually , as
sisted by a charge of the Spanish troops ,
compelled Ihem to retreat outside ot the de
file. The Spanish rushed forward then and
once In the open , they charged the Insur
gents with great courage and compelled them
to retreat hastily. The Insurgents Ihen
Boughl refuge In the strong position Ihey had
previously left In order to attack the Iroops ,
bul Iho soldiers carried Ibis position and put
tlw enemy to flight with the loss upon the
field of 280 killed. The troops lost fifty men
killed and one wounded. It was at first re
ported that the Insurgents were commanded
by General Maceo , but It was later learned
they were under Rabl alone , and that Maceo
took no part In the engagement.

Jnued , "other lhan the arrangement modi
fying former treaties , nnd oven this
does not como Into force for flvo years.
Besides , the United States adheres before
everything to the principle of nonintervention
tion In European nnd Asiatic affairs. "
With reference to Iho movement fa Canada
to separate Iho Dominion from Great Britain
Mr. Eustls said It rested entirely with the
United Slates as to whether Canada shoulder
or should not bo taken Into the confcderu
tlon of states , but the pcnplo ot the United
Stales preferred lo lei the question rest ,
while at the same llmo saying to Great.
Britain , "no nonsense , or wo will annex
Canada. "
Regarding the Insurrection In Cuba , Mr.
Eustls Is reported as having admitted thai
American sympathies favored the Insurgents
who found In the United States , unknown
to the government of that country , as
sistance of all kinds. In conclusion Mr.
Eustts Is quoted as saying : "If the Insur
gents " can maintain the strugelo for a year
I am "not sure that Spain will not havt
futilely spent her money on a costly ex
periment. "
Mr , Eustls was questioned today In regard
to the alleged Interview with him published
In Iho Figaro this morning. He said : "I
have not been Interviewed and have , not con
sented .to or authorized the publication of an
opinion from myself on any of the questions
discussed In the alleged Interview. "

acres of grazing land , most of which has
been leased to the cattlemen at 10 cents per
acre. The depredations ot the cattle have
made farming on the reservation unprofitable ,
and the Indians have long desired to lease the
land to farmers. This the cattlemen have
opposed. The Interior department has de
cided , however , that the land may be leased
for farming purpoies at from 25 to 50 cents
per acre. The cattle will be forced to leavn
at the expiration of the leases.

WASHINGTON , July 8. Ex-Secretary of
State John W. Foster arrived In Washington
today from China , where he has taken a con
spicuous part In the diplomatic branch of the
China-Japan conflict. Ho Is fatigued with his
long Journey , but Is otherwise In vigorous
health , notwithstanding the hardships Incident
to the close of Ihe eastern war. Mr. Foster
would not consent to an Interview until he
rested and examined his baggage. He brings
a fund of Information on the status of the
apanese-Chlncso struggle and the Interesting
etalls of the peace negotiations In which he
iok a personal part.
In answer to Inquiries , Mr. Foster made a
; atement In which ho said there was good
eason to expect permanent peace between
apan and China as the result of the treaty
f Shlmoneslkl. The terms demanded by
apan may , ho said , under the circumstances
10 regarded as reasonable , and especially In
lew of the cession of the Llao Tong penln-
ula. The treaty has been observed and car
ed out by China with scupulous good faith
ler conduct In this respect has created a
ery favorable Impression In Japan. The
an Just concluded through Russian Influence
111 enable China to pay the first two Install
nents of the Indemnity. These two Install
ments cover half of the Indemnity , and the
ialanco , extending over six years , will b <
omparatlvely an easy burden for the Chinese
; overnment , If any skill Is shown In the man
gement of the Imperial revenues.
The country has great resources and hai
ever yet failed In Its financial engagements ,
lence the peace concluded at Shlmoneslkl I
lot likely to bo broken on account of tin
hortcomlngs cf China. If a rupture occurs , 1
s moro likely to be brought about by the In
ermeddllng of the European powers.
INTERVENTION NOT UNEXPECTED.
The Intervention of Russia on account o :
ho terms of peace was not unexpected , am
s not unnatural , In view of her predomlnat
ng Interest In the Orient , especially on th
rth Pacific coast of Asia. That Franc
'ollowed the lead of Russia created no sur
prise In the east , but that Germany Ehoul
unite with them In a display of force agalns
'apan was entirely unexpected , and Is no
. ct understood. British residents In Chin ;
and Japan are very bitter In criticizing thel
government for Its abstention In the matter ,
They allege that Its failure to Join with th <
other powers In rearranging the terms ha
est for their country the prestige , and ha
eft Russia a free hand in its influence ani
control at Peking.
Of all the countries diplomatically concerned
corned In the contest , the United States
como out of It with the better grace than th
other. From the first , her Interest has bee
recognized by both belligerents as purely dls
nterested , her only desire being to render
such service as would bring about an honor
able and lasting peace. The conduct ot the
State department In Its very delicate relations
with both combatants has been marked by
gcod Judgment and by few mistakes , and the
; oed offices of our ministers and consuls In
China and Japan , where they represented the
nterests of both governments , have ben very
useful and highly appreciated by both.
Being asked why he declined the Invitation
to remain In China as the adviser of the gov
ernment , Mr. Foster said he had spent the
greater portion of the past twenty-flvo years
In foreign lands , and while his residence
abroad had been generally a pleasant one , he
has found no country equal to his native
land , and he desired to spend the remainder
of his llfo In his native country. He con
fessed that If the Invitation had come five or
ten years earlier , he would probably not have
declined It.
NAVIES AIIOI.ISIII'G 111 ! IVY GUNS.

WASHINGTON , July 8. Consul Monaghan ,
at Chemnitz , Germany , has made a report to
the State department on armor and pro
jectiles for naval warfare. In' which he says :
Naval nations have begun to think of abolishing
ishing heavy guns for guns of lighter caliber
and stronger construction. " He says that ex
periments In steel-bound paper tubes are be
ing talked of , but no tests have yet been
made.
Mr. Mondghan says thai Iho Germans are
very much Interested la a new process tor
hardening steel by means of gas. "Tho In
vention , " ho continues , "originated In the
French steel and Iron firm , Schneider & Co. ,
of Crenuzot. The process la based on the
fact that gas under great heat deposits car
bon In solid form. On Ibis depends Its light
effects and also the formation of the so-
called retort graphites , a thick covering of
pure carbon on the walls of the gas like re
torts. The gas that strikes the retort wells
deposits part of Its carbon on them and
Schneider uses this for cementing a steel
armor plate. " This plan , says the chief of the
ordnance bureau of the United States navy ,
for hardening steel , described by Consul
Monaghan and called the Schneider process. Is
practically the Harvey process. Carbon Is
Introduced Into the plates In much the same
way. So far as the ordnance bureau has been
able to learn , the armor plates used In the
United States are as good as any that have
been made abroad.

WASHINGTON. July 8. The resumption of
the old plan of forwarding dally weather
messages , except on Sunday , to all forecast
display stations receiving such Information
by government telegraph service , was decided
upon by the Agricultural department today.
It Is the first Important scheme tor Improv
ing the forecast service to be put Into opera
tion by Chief Moore of the weather bureau.
The present system of sending these mes
sages only when decided changes In the
weather conditions are expected , was found
objectionable , as tending toward Indifference
and neglect and many urgent requests for
a change were filed. The resumption of
the plan , approved this afternoon by Acting
Secretary Dabney , has been under advise
ment for some time , but was delayed largely
owing to ex-Chief Harrington's opposition.
The dropping of the dally service has resulted
In several ot the oldest and bept qualified
observers und dlsplaymen leaving the service
owing to dissatisfaction with Irregular fore
cast reports.

WASHINGTON , July 8. The late advices
received by the State department from Cuba
relative to Sangutly and Augere , the natural
ized Americans , who have been under
arrest there for several months on charges
ot complicity In the rebellion- , are to the
effect that they are now under trial , which
may be long drawn out , owing to the fact
that In at least one case the proceedings are
civil , as well ai criminal and political. How
ever , as fair progress U being made , accord
ing Jo the Spanish practice , and as the men
have the best of counsel , and their caees are
being closely watched by the American can-
sul general , the ? tate department Is not dis
posed lo make U a matter of camplalnt.

WASHINGTON , July 8. Experts of the
Agricultural department have been carrying
on an exhaustive Investigation of Infectious
diseases' among poultry. The prevalence of
protosoa among lurkeys was the subject of
a special Inquiry. The results show that the
disease atlacks the young by preference
and that Infection does not take place later
on. It runs no regular course , but varies
In severity , duration and termination.
Though restricted to the caeca and the
llvor , Its action Is severe enough to prove
fatal to many affected lurkeys. The dis
ease process Is always associated with a
prolosean parasite of very minute size.
Certain flocks only are affected , and the
sense becomes perpetuated and diffused
nong neighboring flocks. The remedy
ecommendcd by the department Is to en-
rcly destroy the diseased flocks and ob-
iln now animals elsewhere , after a thor-
ugh cleansing and disinfection of Iho ter-
lory occupied by Iho diseased fowls.

KANSAS CITY , July 8. Reports of storms
during the past three days como from over a
large territory and show thai Ihe enllre eastern
watersheds ot the Rocky mountains from the
Iowa and Nebraska lines to Texas were swepl
by a storm. Friday night the severest blow-
came. Reports of loss ot life nnd destruction
of property came with every telegram , and
the downpour , first regarded as a blessing ,
grew Into a wave of devastation. Fields of
grain that promised the most bountiful yields
In many years were swept bare of vegetation.
In several Instances the seas of rain were
abetted In their work of deslructlon by tor
nadoes. II Iff lee early yet to sum up the
total loss , but the total Is appalling and
those to whom the angry elements spared
llfo have llttlo left to sustain them.
The storm focus embraced an area of 200
square miles , with the soulhwestern corner
of Missouri as the center. The greatest loss
of llfo Is reported from WInona. Mo. , where

persons were lost.
Unconfirmed reports are received of loss
of life as follows : Three at Faycttevlllc ,
Ark. ; one at Paola , Kan. ; one at Richardson ,
Kan. , and six of a hunting party In the
Indian Territory. This gives a known and
probable loss of forty-lhreo lives. This
lotal will bo Increased when the receding
waters permit a thorough search.
The loss In properly can be placed In Ihe
millions. Dwellings , fences and farm build
ings were carried off and highway and rail
road bridges swept away. Thirty of the
elghly buildings ? In WInona succumbsd. Five
residences , a church and a warehouse wen'
down at Baxter Springs. Six bridges wen

thief escaped and nude the mcst remarkable
race for liberty OMT seen In the streets ot
Chicago. After firing Into the pursuing
crowd and seriously wounding thrca citizens ,
ho was captured by Officer Doscnthal , oppo
site the entrance- the Auditorium hotel on
Congress street.
The wounded are : I' . J. McQloln , saloon
keeper , three wounds \n \ the head , will re
cover ; H. M. Steinberg , sliof In the abdomen ,
tnken to St. Luke's hospital , will probably dlo ;
Samuel Stone , shot tn the right leg , will re *

McOloln was alone In his saloon when Cole
entered and ordered n glass of beer. This
was served to him , and ho then asked the
saloon keeper to get him some meat that ho
claimed to have left In the Ice bix ) of the
saloon. McQloln walked to the entrance of
the Ice box , and Cole , drawing a revolver ,
ordered him to go Insldo ami stny there.
McGloln turned and struck the robber In the
face , nearly knocking him down. The two
men then clinched and fought desperately.
Cole managed to get one arm free , and with
his revolver he pounded the saloon keeper
viciously , Inflicting three severe wounds on
the head. The robber then broke loose from
McGloln and running to the front entrance
of the saloon turned west on Adams street.
Although bleeding profusely , McOloln fol
lowed and was only n few steps behind when
the thief turned Into O'llrlen's saloon at 81
Adams street , and still holding the revolver
In his hand ran out of the rear door on
Qulney street. Ho then turned at State
street and boarded a southbound cable car.

ch of Steinberg , who was among the leaders
f the pursuit. Just before reaching the cor-
icr of Congress street , the officer fired at the
ugltlve , who returned the compliment. The
ullet of the olllcer went wild , but that ot
Cole brought down Stone , another of his pur-
ures , with a ball through the leg.
Rosenthal fired a second time , and' ' thl
Imo Cole staggered. Ho continued to run ,
lowcver , turned the corner and ran east on
Congress street until ho was directly In front

heater , where lie fell. Ho died In two min
utes , without saying a word. The ofllcer'8
bullet had passed through his kidneys and
nto the lung.

ATLANTA , Ga. , July. 8. Thomas Q. Law-
ion of tbo Eighth Georgia congressional
district , Is out * ln a lengthy Interview In
ho Journal this afternoon , which will prob
ably furnish the political sensation ot the
iveek In this state. Judge Lawson Is ono
of the ablest members of the Georgia dele
gation , and brought himself to the front
during the lost congress by a speech In
"avor of the repeal of the 10 per cent tax
on state banks. In his Interview Judge
Lawson declares In hvor of the bimetallism
set forth by the last democratic platform
but asserts : "Tho frco coinage of silver at
the ratio of 10 to 1 by our government
alone would In a short tlmo result In silver
nonomclalllsm that Is , wo would have no
coin money In circulation but silver , and
: io paper money except paper rcdcemabla
In silver. If wo cannot have bimetallism
In accordance with our national platform 1
prefer the single gold standard to the slnglu
silver standard. "
The Ideal monetary system , ho thinks ,
would bo where there was free coinage oj
both metals , without either being legal ten-
derfl the people being privileged to take
their choice.
Judge Lawson says : "Tho south Is not
yet In a condition to profit by the silver0
standard ; We are not a manufacturing
people. A prohibitory tarlfl and everything
that is equivalent to It In Its operations Id
detrimental to our prosperity , But the sil
ver standard would. Inevitably operate pre
cisely as a prohibitory tariff. The value ot
our silver coins would sooner or later de-
cllno to their bullion value. The price , of
foreign goods would be so hlch when valued
In our silver currency that wealthy peopla
only could afford to buy and use them.
