ZAN'ZIHAU , Oct. 2 An Incident of
Bre.at political Importance occurred here , ic-
sultliig in decidedly strained relations be
tween the Ilrltlsh and German officials
ashore nnd which may lead to International
complications ot a ccrlous nature.
After tlio bombardment of the palace of
Zanzibar by the Hrltlsh gunboats Sparrow ,
Thrush nnd Ilaccoon , Seyld Khalld , who had
proclaimed hlmeelf sultan on Annual 25 ,
uflcr the sudden death of Seyld Hammed Hln
Twain bin Said , sought refuge at the German
consulate. A demand was made by the
Ilrlllsh authorities for his surrender , but the
German consul , acting upon Instructions
received from his government , refused to
place the fURltlva In the hands of the Drltlih
This caused considerable tnitatlon and 1ms
been the causeof considerable diplomatic
correspondence between the governments oJ
Great llrltaln nnd Germany.
The situation took a new turn today. An
unusually high tide prevailed , nnd while it
was touching the wall ot the German con-
milatc. Khnlld was placed under escort of an
nrmc l guard of Bailers on the German war
Blilp Sea Adlcr for conveyance , It Is believed ,
to one ot the German colonies.
The Hiltlsh consul hero , Mr. Uasll Cave ,
In charge of the DrltlRh agency In the ab.
Bcnce of A. H. Hardlnge , the Urltlsh agent
nnd consul general who has been to England -
land to consult with the homo government
regarding the administration ot Zanzibar ,
was not notlllcd of the removal of Khalld
to the German war ship until nftcr the
usurper was safely upon board of the Sea
Adlor. Hut BO soon as ho became aw arc of
the action ot the German authorities Mr.
Cave lodged a vigorous protest nt the Ger
man consulate against the embarkation of
Khalld , especially pointing out that the quos-
tlon of his sui render ! to the Hrltlsh author
ities w-is still under discussion by the gov
ernments ot Gicat IJrltaln and Geimany.
Later Mr. Cave cabled a report ot the cir
cumstances to his government and Is now
awaiting Ins'i notions from London.
Viewed In the most conservative light , the
Incident In .egarded as being an act of
Btudlrd discourtesy upon the part of the
German representatives toward the repre
sentatives of Great Ilrltnln and It can hardly
fall to call for serious diplomatic repre
sentations.

attack on the trocha Indicted terrible losses
on the Spaniards , more than 1,000 being

at night and wan carefully planned. The
fighting was general along the line , but
the fiercest near Artemcsa , where Antonio
Mncco led n picked force of Insurgents
against the Spanish column commanded by
General Arclas.
The Spaniards were token completely by
surprise They were aroused from sleep to
find n hall ot Insurgent bullets falling upon
them. General Arelas and his staff , half
olnd rushed from their headquarters and
tried to rally the Spanish troops , who wcro
patilestrlrkcn by the attack , It was about
half an hour before even a semblance of
order could bo restored to the Spanish col
umn nnd during that time the troops re
mained huddled together , an easy mark for
Insurgent bullets. It was during this tlmo
that so many Spaniards were killed. The
InsurgenU hnd several dynamite guns and
they were used with terrible effect , the
shell bursting among the Spaniards and
strlkltiK them down by the scores. The
wounds made by the dynamite shells were
frightful In many Instances , men being
literally blown to pieces. It Is said many
Spanish officers were killed nnd that Gen
eral Arclas himself was slightly Injured
After General Arclns succeeded In rallyIng -
Ing his men ho made a retreat and the
Spaniards fell back four miles or more , leav
ing the trocha In the hands of the insur
gent. ' Antonio Maceo did not pursue the
Spaniards , but held possession of Artemcsa
until morning , when lie retreated to his
stronghold Hcforo the Insurgents retreated
they demolished the section of the trocha
near Artemcsa , blov. Ing up the fortifications
with dynamite They captured six pieces
of artillery and many thousands ot cart
ridges nnd several hundred stands ot arms.
\Vhllo the attnck was In progress at Arte
mcsa , Macco's lieutenants woi-o assaulting
the trocha with equal success on the right
and left. The attack raged from liahl.i
Honda on the north to Makando on the
couth , and at nil points the line was de
molished Mncco could oablly have crossed
with his entire force , but It teems he had
no such purpose.

PAHIS , Oct. 2. The Debats contains an
account of an Interview had by a Trencb-
man with the sultan at Constantinople on
Sunday In which the sultan declared tlm
any civil or military officer convicted of
failing to do his duty during the recent
massacres In Constantinople would bo pun
ished. The sultan Is reported to have added
that the government would endeavor to In
troduce reform gradually nnd that ' 10 would
abldo by nil the pledges contained In the
treaty of llcrlln , although ccrtnln clauses
In the treaty favorable to Turkey had pur
posely been forgotten. The people cf Europe ,
the sultan pointed out , were too apt to for
get the material dllllcultlcs hindering the
efforts of his good will. His Asiatic em-
plie , ho added , contained two provinces
which were alone equal In slzoto Franco and
ccvcial of the distant vlllayets had scarcely
any icads or telegraphs. The different
Idiosyncrasies and aspirations of each rnco
In the empire had to bo considered The
sultan stiongly emphasised his dcslro that
thcro should bo great Improvement In the
govoinmcnt nnd In the empire , and he urged
that If progress wcro slow , It was duo to the
Armenians having caused trouble.

DENVnil , Oct. 2. A special to the He-
publican from Albuquerque , N. M , , says : A
message received here nt 8.15 p. m. , stated
that the cRstbound No. 2 passenger train ,
due hero at 8 45 from the west , was being
held up at Itlo Puerco bridge , about thirty
mllea from this city. As soon ns the train
pulled out ot the station , It was halted by
ECV cral masked men and the express messen
ger commanded to open the doors ot his
car. A general fusillade of shots kept the
passengers terrorized. Late accounts , al
though meager , say that the messenger Is
n locked In , but a number of shots have
been fired lnto , the car. The Atlantic &
Pacific company will send n special trnln
with officers to the scene at once. It Is
learned that Cado Sclvy , a special secret
service officer ot the railroad , Is on the
heldup train. At 10.ID o'clock a message
was received from lllo Puerco , stat
ing that OHO of the hold
ups , Cole Young , Is dead. When the
robbers Jumped on the neglno and com
pelled nnginecr Hess and his firemen to un
couple the engine and express car from the
train , Deputy United States Marshal Loomls ,
who was returning from the west , took In
the situation and fired at the first man ,
killing Young. The robbers then com
menced shooting and shot a lantern from
the hand of n brakeman. Humors here arc
that several others are shot , but this Is not
yet confiimed. Hlo Puerco Is only a waterIng -
Ing station with a telegraph ofllco In charge
of the pumpman. The robbers , after cut
ting the engine and express car from the
train , lan to the bridge , several hundred
yards nway. The pumpman reports having
heard an explosion and believes the robbera
have blown up the express car. nnginecr
Hess is oft the engine and guarded by a
robber.
A special received at midnight from
Albuquerque , N. M. , says : The hcld-up
passenger train from the west Is Just In.
Conductor Sam Heady states that when the
train reached the Hlo Puerco tank Engineer
Hess said that a pin In the engine was , out
of gear , but ho thought he could go up the
dlvldc . The conductor thought not , and
Just as the engineer was about to fix the
pin three masked men jumped on the en
gine , when the shooting commenced. A
lantern was shot out ot the hand ot the
brakeman , after which the engineer was told
to uncouple the engine and the express car
from the train , Deputy United States
Marshal Loomls , uho has been , down In
Arizona on the trail of the southern Now
Mexico bandits , was on his return to this
city , and he left the smoking car when the
first shot was filed. Ho took deliberate aim
at ono ot the robbers , shooting him through
the head. The man ran for 100 yards and
dropped dead. The other robbers retreated
to the Malpals , where their voices , calling
for their comrades , could bo heard. Con
ductor Heady states that Loomla remained at
Hlo Puerco cxpcctliiE the robbeis to return
for their dead companion , while Solvy met
the posse ot officers at the Atlantic & Pa
cific junction and returned with the party to
Hlo Puerco. The holdup was a failure finan
cially , the robbers securing no money.
Looints thinks that the holdups aio the
same gang that robbed the Separ postottlce
( l few weeks ago and have boon terrorizing
southern New Mexico , and that Young was
the leader.

collateral for the Farmers Loan and Trust
company , amounting to 433,137,500 , to the
Northern Pacific railroad , the , new corpora
tion , for $10,275,000. The securities were
deposited as collateral for ithe collateral
trust Indenture notes In Aay { , JSD3 , and at
that tlmo were looked upon , ns the cream
ot the paper held by the Jfolthern Pacific.
Hallroau company. The borf j fl'id stocks
ordered sold Include consolidated bonds ot
the Northern Pacific company "toX the amount
of $0,850,000 ; Chicago R. Northern Pacific

Northern Pacific beneficial slock certificates
amounting to $15,010,000.
Under the terms of the collateral trust
Indenture it was stipulated , that the con

The purchase price offered Is the amount
of the notes outstandlnK and seemed by
the bonds. The new company owns $9.913-
000 of the notes. Ono note for $1,000 Is
hold by an unknown party and the balance
Is held In trust by the Mercantile Trim
company of Now York but 'the ' new com

virtually to a surrender of the trust notes
for security. The Norlhern Pacific com

JACKSONVILLE , Fin. , Oct. 2. Communi
cation with the Interior Is restored and the
news of the destruction of life and property
by Tuesday's hurricane becomes appalling.
Hundreds of persons nro homeless nnd must
suffer from hunger unless relict shnll be
quickly furnished. Heports to the Citizen
from seventy-six different towns , Including
all of thn Important points In Levy , Lafay
ette , Suwance , Columbia , Uradford and
Ualter counties , show that sixty-seven per
sons were killed and sixty-two Injured
These are the known casualties. To this
total a considerable number must bo added
to cover these not yet heard from. The
loss of life was greatest at Cedar Keys on
the Gulf of Mexico , where the hurricane en
tered the state. Over half of the known
deaths occurred at that place The destruc
tion of valuable timber , turpentine tiees ,
faun crops , phosphate works nnd buildings
of every description In the counties men
tioned , forming a. belt across the stnte from
bouthwest to northeast , will aggregate hun

lars.Full
Full nnd authentic advices from Cedar
Keys late tonight show the almost total
destruction of the town and the loss of
thirty-nine lives This Is believed to In
clude the complete roll ot the dead. At
Shell Mound , a great pleasure resort near
the place , n party of five men , three women
nnd three children were camping out. Some
survcyois making their way homo after the
storm found eleven dead bodies strewn on
the shore , under logs and brush
They were v'ose together , which would
Indicate that they were simultaneously
killed by the tidal wave. Eight other bodies
have been found on the beach. Twenty
more fishermen ore still to be heard from ,
all ot whom are probably dead. During
the hurricane at Cedar Keys the water
came up with the wind and down the prin
cipal streets rushed a mid torrent , upon
which floated houses , boats and debris of
every description. While the tempest was
Its height , the Bettcllnl house , the Schlcm-
mer house and John Sherlll's residence took
fire , nnd weie burned. The destruction of
property was very great , the loss being
estimated at $250,000.
Following Is a dispatch sent out
by the Citizen : "Tho reports that
have been sent out concerning losh
of life at Cedar Keys nro grossly ex-
agceiated. It Is so far positively known
that twenty persons have been drowned In
that vicinity. In addition to this It Is
feared the crews of numerous sponging ves
sels were lost during the gale , but as com
munication with the district Is still Impos
sible , any statement of probable numbers
wpuld bo the merest guesswork In the
Interior of Floilda the destruction of prop-
eity was Rieat , but no less of life Is re
ported. TUG JACKSONVILLE CITIZEN. "
PHNSACOLV , Fin. , Oct 2. All efforts to
reach Cedai Keys tonight by who have been
unavailing , as the telegiaph lines and rail
roads ore completely wrecked for many
miles outside of town. Further icports re
ceived today show that It was the most de
structive storm ever known In the state.
The death llsti Is glow Ing , and the destruc
tion to crops , live stock , timber , "etc. is now
estimated at millions of dollars. The State
Agricultural college at Lake City was badly
damaged , and many of the finest depots along
the lines of jallioads are complete wrecks.
The largo phosphate woiks In Alachun county
were badly damaged , and all the turpentine
works In that section were destroyed. In
many districts not a vcstlgo was left of the
growing crops. The storm was not expected
In the Intel lor , and many persons were
killed who might have sought shelter had
they been warned. A panic prevailed among
the students of the State college at Lake
City , but while the buildings wcro partially
wrecked the professors and students escaped
Injury.
TOWN LAID DESOLATE.
JACKSONVILLE , Fla. , Oct. 2. Cedar
Kcvs Is a place of desolation and death.
Forty-eight hours ago It was a thriving
town of 1,500 Inhabitants. Today many of
the people are corpses , scores of others are
Injured , nnd there nre but few houses left
standing Twenty corpses have been re
covered , but have not been Identified , so
mutllnted were they by falling timbers.
Many of the corpses were dug out of the
mud In which they were buried by the
mlgluy tidal wave that swept over the town
Tutsday morning.
The town Is situated nt the mouth of
Suwaneo river on a number of small keys
connected by a number of bridges. It had
no protection and went to pieces vshcn the
West Indian hurricane , with a velocity of
eighty miles an hour , came roaring from
the gulf. The storm struck the place nbout
3:30 : o'clock Tuesday morning nnd continued
for Bevrral hours. Though warning had
been given , nothing indicated a blow of
unusual severity. Up to 11 o'clock the
night was calm and quiet. At that hour
a moderate breeze sprang up from the east
ward. Increasing gradually until a thirty-
mile wind was blowing. About 4 a. in. It
blew a perfect tornado and ( suddenly changed
to the southeast , bilnglng a perfect deluge
of water , the tide rising two feet higher
than the memorable gale of 1S94 , which at
that tlmo was Bald to bo the worst storm
on record. At 7 o'clock an Immense tidal
wave came In fiom the south , carrying de
struction with It. Iloats , wharves and small
houses wcro hurled upon the shore and
bioken Into fragments , covering the streets
with wreckage and icnderlng them almost
Impassable , While the torrent of water
was rushing through every open space It
would take the strongest man off his feet
It was this tidal wave tlmt causeil the prin
cipal loss of life , many houses being
bwcpt away from their foundations and the
InmaUb drowned
Of the twenty bodies recovered twelve nre
whites and eight colored Of the whites
six belonged to the Whltehon family , mother ,
four children and a young lady visitor. The
other four white victims have not been
Identified , Of the eight negroes only one ,
Peter Woodson , has been Identified.
HUNDREDS OF SI'ONGEHS DHOWN.
The loss of life In Cedar Keys proper la
as nothing in comparison with the number
of spongers and fishermen who were drowned
The Mary Eliza came In this morning dis
masted. She reports that at dark Monday-
night nearly 100 vessels weio anchored on
the Hpongo bar below Cedar Keys , and that
nil these but about twenty were lost. These
boats carried from four to ten men each ,
and the loss of life was great The schooner
Hoaallo was sunk and eight of her crew
drowned.

The dllliculty In recovering the dead lies
In the fact that the town was built on

theeo keys wcro swept away and the only-
communication Is by means of boats , of
which thcro nro but a few left Then , too ,

Indlcnten the burial place of a sponging
schooner nnd Its crew. It Is po sllilo that
many of the vessels were blown out Into
the gulf nnd rode out the hurricane , but the
Mnry Eliza's captain thinks that by far the
greater number nro beneath the water with
their crews. Ho snys that theio wns not
one chance In a thousand for such fiall
craft to liveIn such n hunleane. Two
gentlemen who went down the const n tow
miles this morning returned to Cedar Keys
this afternoon and repoitcd finding the
corpses of right men washed ashore These
men were the crew of a sponging vessel , and
the ciews of most of thp other vessels have
undoubtedly met a similar fate It Is
expected that for days to como corpses of
the spongers will bo found along the coast
The etcamer Gertrude Is dismantled nnd
abandoned fifteen miles bouth of Cedar Keys ,
The Mallory Is fast in the Suwance river
swamps. The steamer Hello ot Suwance nnd
the C. D Owens were both wrecked In the
Suwaneo river. The Owens Is fast In the
river swamps , whllo the Uelle steamed slowly
this afternoon Into Cedar Keys with both
smokestacks and all upper works gone.
MANY 13AHELY ESCAPE.
In Cedar Keys these who escaped had a
terrible experience. When the tidal wave
came and overwhelmed the houses , many of
the Inmates Iloated in the water , clinging
to pieces of timber ; othcis clung to treetops
tops for houis until the water receded
They were buffeted by wind and waves and
many men fainted , clinging even whllo un
conscious with a death grip to the suc
cumbing limbs. All i > how the effects In
their clothing and bruised flesh , but are
thankful to escape with their lives Many
others are stll unaccounted for , nnd fami
lies end friends aio filled with anxiety ,
hoping for the best , but fcailng the worst.
In view of the utter dcstiuctlon wrought
by the storm , It ECOIIIS miraculous that thcro
Is n single person allvo In Cedar Keys to
day.

WASHINGTON , Oct. 2. Reports fiom the

great damage to property this side of the
mountains. In addtlon to the wind , there
was a cloudburst that soon changed the
small tributaries Into raging torrents , car
rying away much farm property and washIng -
Ing away many bridges. On the Short Spur
railroad , leading from Hancock to Herkcley
Springs , all ot the bildgcs , thirteen In num

morning was rising steadily here , and the
water at low tldo wns nearly up to the floor
of the long bridge , nnd to the top of the
docks. There weio Indications of a heavy
rainfall , vshlch would have caused serious
damage. This afternoon , however , the Potomac
mac began falling , and as the wind is favor
able , It Is believed tonight that the danger
of a serious flood has passed.

dore Hoosovelt ot New York , Congressmau
Nelson A. Dlngley , chairman ot the house
ways and means committee , Huthprford II.
Hayes ot Ohio , Hon. Dnlzell ot Plttsburg nnd
Hoblnson Locke of Tole'do. Mr. Dlngley pnld
ho e\pects MeKlnley's election to bo em
phatic nnd overwhelming. He nlso expects
the next house to be lepubllcnn , nnd against
fiee silver by n Inige majority. Ho Is hope
ful that the senate will be carried In the
general victory. Mr Hoosovelt says the re
publican sentiment In the east amounts to a
tldil wave , and he believes It will sweep
o > er and engulf the west. Senator Lodge
predicted an unprecedented republican ma
jority In Massachusetts and complete vic
tory In that section for the republican party.
A telegram from James It , Dunn nt Chicago

sembled at Cleveland and PlttsburB will
gather up recruits en route. Eleven other
delegations are schc'duled for tomorrow- ,
coming from Ohio , Pennsylvania und Illi
nois points.
The clouds seem to have at last unloaded
their burden nnd this morning is clear and
bright , but the almost continuous down
pour since last Saturday has made the Mc
Klnley lawn toft nnd muddy , nnd today's
demonstrations , llko these of the earlier
days of the week , were held In the taberna
cle 'Iho first to arrive was n special
train ot four coat ties from Wheeling , leprc-
sentlng the Panhandle counties of West Vir
ginia. A washout on the Ilaltlmore .t Ohio ,
separated this pnity , and these beyond that
point were left behind. Another detachment
of the party came by way of the Wheeling
& Lake Erie n little Inter , on n special tialn.
The delegation was presented by Attorney
Garvln of Wheeling.
Ilefoie Major McKlnley reached the taber
nacle to address the West Vliglnlans , a

SPEAKS TO ALL ALIKE. '
Major McKlnley made n response to all
In an address , In which he said. "A re
publican Ins no embairassuient In. spcaklnc

have to make a different bpccch for a differ

principles of the lepubllcan party are ns

the same degree of prosperity that wo hail
then. ( Applause and cries of "That't , right. " ) '
And what Is the trouble ? ( A voice. "Fico

about that lack of confidence wo may differ ,
but that there Is a lack of confidence every
citizen everywhere must concede , for every ,
eltbcn has felt It In his own experience.
Now. what Is this thing called 'business
confidence ? ' It Is a belief In the stability
of values , faith In our markets and our
money , faith that thn consumption of next
year will bo as gicat or greater than the
present ono. Faith that men will have
work and that the currency of the country

baa confidence. When ? Thcro may bo
some merchants In this audience today.
The merchant has confidence when ho
stocks his shelves with more goods In ex
pectation of larger sales. The manufac
turer has confidence when ho Increases hla
machinery , lilies moro men , adds n now
factory , lays In his material In ad
vance , certain that It will not de-
cllno before his finished product Is sold ,
confident that ho can pay wages to labor
nnd prices for his raw material nnd not
find In the end that his goods will bo dilveii
out of the American market by foreign
goods under a free trade policy. ( Tre
mendous cheering and cries of "That's the
btuff. " ) The laborer feels this confidence )
when assured of steady employment , ho
buys a lot and starts the building of a.
house for himself and family , The farmer
feels this confidence when ho plants gen
erously , confident that what ho reaps will
bo In demand nnd bring him fair icturna
for his toll , The railway company feels It
when It extends Its lines and Its switches ,
got new equipment nnd Improves Itu
old equipment and given employment to the
woikliigman. The banker feels It when ho
loans freely of his capital and deposits ami
knows that when his loans nro icturned
they will bo In good sound money. ( Ap
plause ) And the depositor feels this con
fidence when ho takes Ills-money from Us
hiding place , where much of It Is today , and
puts It Into n bank , sure that he can draw
It out according to hla necessity or Inclina
