this morning a large double brick to-
bacco warehouse owned by Roland
Brubaker and John F. Brimmer and
occupied repectively by Amos B. Ilos-
tetter and John F. Brimmer, was to-
tally destroyed by incendiary fire. The
one occupied by Ilostetter contained
leaf tobacco valued at ^i>5,000. In the
other were 1,500 cases of leaf tobacco
valued at .*<.">5,000. Warehouses oc-
cupied by J. Bunzel <& Son, New York

immense quantities of water on the
roofs and the tobacco in them was
damaged by smoke and water to the
extent of several thousand dollars.

SANTIAGO I)E CUBA I1KSIKGED.
Antonio Maceo* the Insurgent General,
Said to Ilave the t'ul> in Seaport Sur-
rounded.
Nkw York, Sept. 12.—Advices by
several couriers from Cuba, received at
the offices of the Cuba junta in this
city, are to the effect that the city of
Santiago de Cuba is completely sur-
rounded by the insurgents, and that
an attack is expected at any time,
(ien. Antonio Maceo is personally con-
ducting the siege. For two weeks he
has completely cut off communication
with the interior. An effort will be
made to storm the fortresses which
defend the place some time this week.
The objective point will be the eastern
portion of the city, where the main
arsenal is. In this arsenal is contained
a large quantity of arms and ammuni-
tion, which Gen. Maceo will endeavor
to capture.
There was also said to be a report
about Havana that a great battle had
been fought in Puerto Principe and
that the Spanish had been defeated
and the capital captured by the in
surgents. How near the truth this
statement is cannot be ascertained,
but Gen. Campos' immediate departure
for Neuvitas was suggestive of some-
thing very serious having happened.
A MATE U It BANDITS FOILED.
Uuaucceliaful Attempt to Rob Train on
the Illinois Central.
Kinmt ndy. 111., Sept. 12.—Three men
made an attempt to rob the northbound
Illinois Central express train about 2
miles north of here last night. They
were riding on the platform of the
express car and were evidently
green at the business. They cut
the bell cord and then attacked
the car door with a sledge hammer.
Hearing the noise, the messenger ap-
plied the air brake and brought the
train to a stop. This frightened the
robbers, who jumped off and made for
a cornfield. Several shots were fired
at them by the train crew, without el
feet.
A Grand Temple at l?ostoii.
Boston, Sept. 12.—The directors 01
the Masonic temple, burned last Satur-
day, have decided to repair the struc-
ture for temporary use. Three of the
directors strongly expressed themselves
in favor of a new Masonic temple, and
it is practically assured that a propo-
sition which involves the building* of
the most magnificent Masonic temple in
the world will be laid before a special
meetiug of the grand lodge in the near
future.
IvniiHUA University Opening.

day. It is estimated that the total en-
rollment of resident pupils will exceed

guard patrolled the ways, and there
was no delay. Forty thousand veter-
ans were in line and fully '100,000 peo-
ple witnessed the march.
The parade was headed by two ex-
confederates on horseback, ('apt. John
Weller and ('apt. William II. Har-
rison. Tliey did not wear the gray,
but were dressed in black Prince
Alberts with silk hats and red,
white and blue sashes, the same
members of the citizens' commit-
tee. They also wore red, white and
blue scarfs and rosettes, ("apt. Weller
carried a large United States llag and
'apt. Harrison a large white banner of
peace. In place of the eagle on the
top of the staff the white banner had
a dove carrying an olive twig.
The veterans showed the weight of
years and the effects of service. It
was tlie general remark that there
were never so many old, lame and
feeble men in line, but they inarched
proudly none the less.
At sunrise the only clouds were from
the salute of forty guns, and the
weather even was for peace. The de-
partments began forming at an early
hour under special orders to have the
procession move promptly at 10:30
o'clock. At 0:30 another salute was
fired for the first grand division to
form. At 10 o'clock the guns indi-
cated that the escort was moving to
the head of the column and at 10:150
the salute, signalled all the ten grand
divisions to move.
Among the features of I he parade
was Old Ned, the war horse, over 40
years old, that had heretofore tramped
with the boys along the line of march.
He is now so feeble that lie to-day
rode on a float. The New Hampshire
department carried a large eagle. The
Ohio boys all wore buckeyes, the Ken-
tuck ians had corn find crackers and
others bore the emblems of their
states.
A SENSELESS MCHIlEll.
A Georgian's Hralns Mown Out While Min-
istering to a Dying Man
Marsiiam.vii.lk, tla., Sept. 12.—Jim
Rice, Jitn Williams and Frank Oliver
left town last night intoxicated. When
they reached J. E. Haseleam's place, 7
miles out, Williams stopped to see a
sick friend. Rice, who was on the out-
side, grew impatient, and, after call-
ing to .!im several times to come on,
seized Oliver's pistol, ran in the house
and placed the muzzle to Williams'
head and blew his brains out. The
murdered man fell on the bed with his
sick friend and died in n few minutes.
Rice escaped and lias not yet been cap-
tured.

John S. McShane, of Omaha, was ar-
raigned here charged with conspiring
with F. II. Culver, a Chicago attorney,
to defraud the real estate firm of Ilart-
lctt & Roach. The real estate men

liberately conspired to swindle them
out of #(>.■ .000, while the ex-congress-
man declares that he is innocent and

Ex-Consul Waller's Deposition.
Wasiuxoton, Sept. 1*2.—The state de-
partment has received from Ambas-
sador Eustis the deposition of ex-Con-
sul Waller, but the contents will not
be given out until a comparison is
made between the Waller deposition
and the liray statements, submitted
some time ago, covering the same ques-
tion. It is desired to sec if there are
any discrepancies between the two.
It is claimed, however, that they are
identical.

Louisville, Ivy., Sept. 12 .—Just aa
the members of the First Kentucky
artillery, a branch of the Louisville
legion of the national guards, were
about to tire the early morning salute
in honor of the (*. A. I . national
encampment from a gun placed in the
center of 1 {roadway between Third
and Fourth streets, the caisson ex-
ploded. Seven of the soldiers were
instantly killed, two of them being
blown clear over adjacent houses.
Two others were wounded, one prob-
ably fatally. The two horses attached
to the cannon were terribly man-
gled and buildings in the vicinity were
damaged. Nearly every one in the
neighborhood was asleep, and the
noise and concussion causcd by the
explosion almost created a panic, llalf-
clad men and terrified women came
running from theii homes, and a most
horrible sight met their eyes.
The body of the colored driver, man-
gled almost beyond recognition, fell
on the front porch of a residence fully
800 feet from the place where the ex-
plosion occurred. .lust outside tlic
fence, on the sidewalk, was the body
of Private Woods. Bits of flesh and
pieces of bloody uniform were scat-
tered all along the street, clinging to
the tree tops and in the shattered win-
dows. A le,' and half a coat were
found on Third street, one block south
of where the explosion took place.
They must have been blown clear over
a three-story and basement house.
Several mangled legs and arms were
found on the tops of adjacent houses.
It is believed that the body of Pri-
vate Ilutchins was blown to pieces, as
it has not yet been found. A hook
and ladder truck of the city fire de-
partment was called and with ladders
every housetop in the vicinity was I
searched in vain for the missing body, f
On nearly every housetop were found
portions of the bodies of the unfor-
tunate young men.
The body of Howard Irwin was so
badly mangled that it was almost im- I
possible to gather it up without a
shovel. It was found at the intersec-
tion of Broadway and Fourth streets,
almost a block away.
The battery was on its way to lMno-
nix 1'i11 fur the purpose of firing a sa-
lute of forty-four guns. There were
sixty-six pounds of powder in the cais-
son.
Capt. David Castleman, who was in
charge, was riding at the side of the
detail, lie escaped injury. The re-
port that one of the men was smoking
is denied by him.
IH: N HAVEN'S fJENEKOSITV.
Th«> Owner of Valkyrh* III. < lv«-* an Incen-
tive to the Crew to Win America's Cup.
Nkw Yoiik, Sept l'i. It is said that
Lord Dunraven has otV-'red a pension of
30 shillings weekly to every member
ef the crew of Valkyrie 111 should
i they Miccecd in winning America's cup.
; This offer he is reported to have made
in an address to the sailors and their
commanders in which he said: "While ;
1 feel satisfied that every man will do
' his duty, I am anxious to encourage
you to exert your services to the ut-
most to win the remaining series.
With that <*ii(1 in view, I desire to say
that if the cup goes back to England
by reason of your seamanship 1 will
pension every man for life and pay
each of you :«) shillings so Ion r as each
one of you lives."
The announcement was so unexpect-
ed that for a minute not a word was
spoken. Then, actuated by a common
impulse, the men of the crew broke
out in cheers. Lord Dunraven's action
is without precedent, either considered
by itself or from the standpoint of gen
crosity. It is the ambition of his life
to place within the hands of his queen
the trophy that passed out of the pos-
session of England nearly half a cen-
tury ago. The ages of the twenty-six
men will average 30 years. They are
all strong and healthy, and their ex-
pectation for life may be set at 70
years. In that time, if the expecta-
tion be realized, they will each have
received &:i,130, or 15,( ()'), and in the
aggregate US-.', 100, or .*$100,800. i hat
the crew appreciated Lord Dunraven's
inducement was shown by their work
in Tuesday's race.
THE 1IUM) SYNDICATE.
Eerrotary Carlisle'* Annmtl Kepurt I *pect
rd t<> Contain l aet* Hoarding It.
Washington. Sept. 1 *.' One of the
features of Secretary Carlisle's report
to congress will probably be a full
statement of the operations of the
bond syndicate. It is understood that
it will contain several interesting facts
in connection with tli" transaction
which are as yet only known to the
parties immediately concerned in the
negotiation of the loan. The most im-
portant problem the secretary will
have to deal with is that which looks
to the relief of the treasury, involving
a radical change in the financial sys-
tem.
A Prosper! of a War In Europe
Washington. Sept. I.'.—Represent-
ative Tarsuey and wife came in yester-
day morning from the east, having
been in Europe four months. Mr.
Tarsney says it is the general inpres-
sion in Europe that very soon (Icr-
many, Austria and Italy will be lined
up in war against France and Russia,
and that England will hold off to
watch for a chance to gain some ad-
vantage from all. He saw army move-
ments in Berlin, and says that he
failed to see anything but inettieicney
in the German army drill.
