A report difficult to verify reached 0t Paul last Thursday that Oen. Ba con and his soldier have been mas sacred by Indians at Leech lake, Minn. Oen. Bacon, with his Santiago ve terans from the Third Infantry, left Talker, Minn., for Bear Island, deter mined to bring the recalcitrant pillager Indians to terms by force If necessary. He chartered two stonmboats and a barge and had a (ratling gun and a hotchklas aboard with which to clear the Island of possible ambushes. The men are under the Immediate com mand of Capt. Wilkinson. A terrific battle was fought nt 11 o'clock Wednesday morning thlrdy miles from Walker at Bng-Ah-Me-O-hlrks point, close to Bear Island. The detachment of 100 men under Oen. Bacon was landed on the point shortly after 8 o'clock. The soldiers went through the thick undergrowth very carefully and with every precaution taken against ambush. The men were then ordered to line up In an open apace near the shore of the lake. Char pes were drawn and preparations made for dinner. The order to make coffee had been (riven and the soldiers were standing In column formation when the first shot was fired. It came from Bog-Ah-. Me-Oe-Rhlrks house. The ball struck Ed Harris, ex-marshnl of Walker, a half-breed. His arm was broken. This was the signal. Immediately the firing became gen eral from all directions. It seemed vthat a shot came from every bush. Three of Oen. Bacon's men dropped. They were at once carried to the rear. On the very Instant that the first shot was fired every man In the command sprang for cover without waiting for orders. Like a flash the blue column had vanished and not a sign was to be seen of the eighty men who had stood erect but an Instant before, except here and there a little patch where a gray bat might be made out. "Steady, men," Oen. Bacon called, "keep cool now, keep cool." Again there came a volley from the Indians and that was what the troops had been tvalttng for. The Krag-Jorgensene epened up with a frightful rattle Just as the Pillagers made a terrific rush. Half a dozen of them dropped and the rest fell back, yelling like fiends Incar nate. , There must have been ISO or 200 In dians. Lieut, Morrison with a squad Of twenty men, made a rush to prevent the recapture of old Ma-Quod, a very choice scoundrel, and Bap Dway We Dung. The marshals had these men under arrest and a rescue would certainly have been effected, but Lieut. Morri son yelled, "Charge," and his squad Scattered the copper-colored gang. By this time the troops were under cover. The Indians were firing In a desultory way and the order was given to vnarge. The soldiers rose, ducking and drip ping like grasshoppers. They made the most of their opportunity. Suddenly a volley was fired by the Indians at the steam tug Flora, which lay off shore. A score of bullets tore through the frail woodwork of the boat and every man except the pilot sought cover. Some blazed away In return with re volvers, but the range was too long. tVard was sent back to Oen. Hum phreys who immediately sent rein forcements to Oen. Bacon. A later re port states that four soldiers were killed and nine wounded. An attempt was made to land on Bear Island Thursday afternoon and rescue the wounded soldiers and get the bodies of the unfortunate blue coats who were killed. The attempt was so far successful that four bodies were recovered and nine soldiers who were wounded were rescued, but the citizens were driven to the boat and the boat driven from tha shores by skulking redskins. A special to the Minneapolis Jour nal from Walker, Minn., says: I have just met an Indian named Mah-Ge-Guh-Bo; who came over from Bear Island In a canoe. He says the loss of the whites Is ten killed and fifteen wounded. He denies that the troops have been wiped out, but says the In dians have had the best of it Their loss, he olalma, does not exceed five . killed and wounded. The force with Bacon are probably safe and more en couragement Is felt about It I have other information that there are fifty dead Indians within a mile of the landing. MaJ. Wilkinson, five privates and two Indian policeman are dead. Col. Shechan Is killed. Thirty Indians are dead. There has been desperate fight ing all the morning. MaJ. Wilkinson, who was shot through the leg, had his leg dressed, took the field again, and was shortly afterward shot through the body. Ly ing In a pool of blood, he raised him self to one elbow and shouted to Oen. Bacon: "Give them h I, general; nev er mind me!" These were his laat words. General Bacon ao-ys that while the Indians retreated to Bear Island after the fight he la not at all satisfied that they have enough. In case of a gen eral uprising he w:i Inaugurate a win ter campaign against them. He says It may take 1,000 men to subdue the savages during the cold weather. fsuUidt Dafoat latariiet.

Friday evening while the President and Mrs. McKlnley were receiving the members of an Episcopal organization the news was reported to the Presi dent of the tragedy at Canton which was later communicated to Mrs. Mo Klnley. George D. Paxton had gone out on Haslett avenue. Canton, last Friday evening, and was about to enter the home of Mrs. Eva D. Althouse, widow of the late George W. Althouse, 819 Lincoln avenue, and lyd Just ascend ed the steps, when a woman In black rushed up behind him and fired two shots, which felled him. He rolled down upon the greensward, and two more shots were hoard. When officers arrived on the scene they found him dead. A woman at the house stated that the deed was done by an unknown woman, who was tall, slender and dressed In black, anil she had gone away as soon as tho shots were fired. The Informant said Mra. Althouse was not at home. Officers were soon on the hunt for the woman who did the shooting, and while it ts not possible Just now to tell who did It the suspicion Is strong against Mrs. Anna E. George, with whom Paxton has had trouble, and who had threatened to kill him. At 9 o'clock Mrs. Oeorgs was placed under arrest as she was entering her rooms from the back way, having come through a swamp from the dir ection of tho Althouse home.

Later he tired of the woman and has been paying attention to Mrs. Althouse. Since that time Mrs. Oeorge has re peatedly said she would kill him.

General Parron paid a visit to Colonel Ray Sunday morning, and the two officers exchanged compliments. All ths po Utical prisoners here have been releas ed. A collision between the Spanish gar rison and Colonel Ray's troops Sunday was. It appears, even nearer than then seemed to be the rase. General Per ron's orders from Havana were to re sist the Americans to the uttermost. Additional rounds of ammunition had been Issued to the troops, and volun teers would probably have brought the Spanish force up to 1,200, as against fewer than 300 Americans. Colonel Ray would certainly hnv obeyed his original Instructions to tnk possosslon of the city when tho hour for closing the cable arrived, and there would have been only the slightest chance of avoiding a fierce engagement with the odds largely against the Americans, both In numbers and In arms. Fortunately, General Parron received word from Havr.na to allow the Amer icans to possess the city. Though Oenernl Parron. on the sur- face, Is courteousness and dignity per- sonineci, ne created a great scene at the palnce after the Incident, striklna terror to the hearts of his subordinates.

"That was the mules," shrieked Parron; "not the soldiers. Away with him to the guard-house." The luckless Sergeant has been court- martialed. At first It was reported that he was to be shot at daybreak. Col lector Donaldson and Rev. Mr. Zim merman entrented General Parron to do what he could for the unfortunate man, and he promised thnt, If there was a conviction, he would Inflict the minimum penalty probably only a tew days' pay. As the Spanish rank anu tile receive no pay, anyway, this would be no very great Infliction. The Spaniards had Intended tcklng away the lantern of the Cape Cruz ligntnoune, with the annurtenancea. claiming tho whole as movable prop erty; but Colonel Ray objected, nnd the Spaniards, after being shown a copy of the evacuation avreement. abandoned their intention.

R. O. Dun & Co. in their weekly re- ' view of trade report as follows: It can do no good to disguise the fact that the larga eastern advances on wool to be held for higher prices has helped to retard the natural decline in that product, of which 100 quotations by Contes Bros, of Philadelphia aver age 18.71c against 20.3o February 1, while extraordinarily small sales, only . 3,814,300 pounds for the week nt the three chief markets, against 14,337,000 last year, 7,663,800 In lb6 and 7,090,600 In 18M, indicate very little demand at this time for manufacture. The truth Is that demand for goods Is not helped by high prices for wool. The cotton industry shows better conditions In spite of the fall of cotton to the lowest quotation ever known, and there Is larger demand for most . staple goods. The Iron industry still gains so ra pidly that an unhealthy boom would seem to be In progress but for the pe culiar conditions. In spite of tbe com bination of valley producers, who now propose a Joint selling agency at Pittsburg, sales run a little below their fixed figures, $10.40 being quoted at Pittsburg and $9.25 for gray forge, while southern and local Iron are steady at Chicago and anthracite Is not stronger at Philadelphia. But the consuming demand is remarkably heavy, and large contracts this week cover 3,000 tons structural Iron at Chicago, 8,000 tons for Boston, 2,000 tons ship plates at Cleveland and a heavy demand for bars, the Pennsyl vania railroad requiring 2,500 cars and the Northwestern 2,000. Wheat has been declining a little with foreign reports somewhat more favorable as to Kuropean crops, and yet the actual shipments have been 2.688,947 bushels, flour Included, for the week, against 4,468,954 bushels for the corresponding week last year. All reports still Indicate that farmers are quite generally holding back their crop In the hope of higher prices, and col lections at the West are almost every where retarded on that account and yet the western recelDta amount to 10.. (39,359 bushels, against 8,810,720 for the same week last year. Nor la the corn crop any obstruction, for while 2.631,003 bushels were exported during the week, against 1,855.067 last year, the movement does not Indicate large sup plies In the Interior. But nobody can tell as yet how much grain Europe will require during the coming year.
