The students made no attempt at a

themselves. The Spanish merchants
made themselves ridiculous by threat

in a barrel In the ulley at the rear of
4,SS Prairie n venue this ufteruoon. The
remains were those of a man about 70
years of age und a male infant about
ten days old. The body of the man
was fearfully mutilated. The head was
taken off and two holes had been bored
ill the skull at the forehead with an
auger. Tin; right leg was cut off about
the knee ami two toes from the foot
of the same leg hud been apparently
severed with n cleaver. The right nrm

foot, was sawed off ut the ankle and
the fingers from the lcfl hand. This
body of the infant was not marred, ex
cept the skull, which was fractured by
a blow.
The bodies are badly decomposed, anil
the killing must have been done at least
two weeks ago. No articles of clothing
were found, except u homespun shirt,
which together with some cotton pud
ding, was wrapped around the head and
shoulders of the man.
A physician examined the bodies to
night and said the dissecting could not
have been done by a medical student,
no matter how inexperienced, and as
the remains have not been in a pickling
vat, it Is almost assured that the mur
der was committed.

the race for the presidential nomina

conventions and secured solid delega

well as the six delegates so far oliosen
In Mississippi. In Texas, where- sev

held, great confusion and uncertainty
exist. Contesting delegations have been

Mr. Armour with Pvnnraltc
Chicago, March 8. The employes of
the Hyde Park postal station, ut Kilty
lift h street and Kimburk avenue, were
thrown Into u greut state of excite
ment lust evening by the discovery of
a supposed dynamite bomb that, from

The box was addressed to P. D. Armour,
21 lit Prairie avenue. Chicago. .
The box was neatly wrapped' In yel
low paper, tied with green ribbon, and
has evidently been mailed In t'hicago
at some of the outlying districts.
Should the box prove to contain dead

that has been made to kill or seriously
injure Mr. Armour, and in each In
stance the United States mall will have
been the menus of discovering the char
acter of the missive.
The officials of the Hyde Park postal
station are of the opinion tonight Hint
the bomb was mailed by a reporter for
the paper which published the story ex

Notwithstanding this, the paper pub

bomb, anil Superintendent Hendrlck

journal, affecting national Impartiality,
Hocuses the Americans of pursuing
schemes tif trade and conquest under
the guise of u feeling for oppressed
nud suffering: hiimnnily. Spain accord
ing to the (lazelte ought to repel the In
tervention of the United States between
herself und the Cuban rebels upon lines
similar to those upon which the United
Stales rejected the Intel volition of
Franco and Faigland In behulf of the
secessionists of the southern slates of
America. The Vorwaerts on the other
hand, holds that the vote of the United
States senate favoring the recognition
tif the belligerent rights of the Insur
Kents lu Cuba, was of such enormous
moral import that Spain will hence
forth be aide by any possible successes
in the field to accomplish the subjection
of Cuba.
This utterance of the Vorwaerts may
menu to imply that n revolution In
Spain Is among the possibilities, but
it must bo uccepted us referring to the
reports now current of un alliance be
tween France ami Spuiti against the
1 'lilted States. The Vorwaerts adds:
"Such an Idea ns a Franco-Spanish nl
llance ugalnst the United States Is fan
tastic. The great republic was founded
with the aid of the French, who have
ever since looked toward the sister re
public." THK INSURANCE CASE.
Huron V'ondcr Recke Vonder Hoist,
Prussian minister for the Interior, has
forwarded a communication to Wash
ington llirnugli the regular diplomatic,
channels, stating that he Is astonished
to Hud that a certain state of the Ameri
can union is seeking to negotiate direct
ly with the Prussian government
through a special envoy, thus Ignoring
the established usage. The minister
says he has not taken cognizance of the
fact that (lovernor Morton has not yet
ncted upon the proceedings of the Al
bany Semite and assembly, and In turn
admits that there was a chance that
the decrees cancelling the licenses ot
two Now York Insurance companies
might be repealed. Hut, he adds, since
the Interference of the amateur special
envoy from New York state to Merlin
the position bus been so completely al
tered that the Prussian government
cannot repeal the decree, us it might
now be represented to the public that
the inlluetiee of an umnteiir diplomat
had cuused Prussia to yield.
Even at the risk of Governor Mor
ton's application of the recent resolu
tion of the Albany legislature refusing
to renew the licenses of Prussian In
surance companies doing business in the
stale of New York this decision, he
says, will in the meantime be adhered
to.

Madrid. March 8 The actions of the
mob clement in Valencia became so
threatening today that martial law
wus proclaimed In that city tonight. A
crowd numbering In.OHO persons met
outside the bull ring and attempted to
enter that place for the purpose of
holding a meeting to express anti
Amerlcnn sentltr -nts. The authorities
had Issued un order forbidding the hold
ing of such meetings, but no attention
was paid to It. The gendarmes at the
bull ring refused to allow the mob to
enter and were told that they were
tvaitnrs to Spain. Then several persons
in the crowd cried: "Long live the re
liublic" whereupon the gendarmes
charged the mob. The crowd answered
with several revolver shots and one of
the gendarmes was seriously wounded
in the chest. The situation had ns
siiniPd such a menacing aspect that or
ders were given to the gendarmes to
tire upon the mob. A volley was llred
from the carbines carried by the gend
armes and the crowd scurried for shelt
er. It Is not known positively whether
anybody was shot or not, but It Is be
lieved that the volley was llred over the
heads of the rioters.
Later the courage of the crowd re
turned nnd with augmented numbers
the mob mnrched through the streets
shouting "Long live Spain", "Death to
the Yankees". The police und gend
nrmes separately opposed the crowd,
lint their efforts to restore order were
not of the slightest avail.
The governor of the province then
proclaimed niur'.iul law. und uny fur
ther rioting- will be deult with sternly
by the military power.
The governor, acting under impera
tive orders from Madrid had concen
trated a strong force around the Ameri
can consulate. The crowd attempted
to pass these guards, but were unable
to do so.
Tonight the city Is quiet, the mob not
having the courage to face the troops.
There were several small disturb
ances today ut other places but the au-"
thonties were alert and determined and
the rioters were easily dispersed.
