Exeter Times, 1906-06-28, Page 6GAR'S BATTALIONS MUTINOUS
An Exciting Day at the Fortress
of Sebastopol.
The Times' correspondent at St.
Petersburg cables as follows :-Sehepkin
has returned from Bialystok with evi-
dence that minor police officials instl-
fitted and organized the manner,,,
higher officials observing a benevolent
neutrakty.
DisaffecUon In the army steadily in-
creases. Two garrison artillery batta-
lions at Sebastopol mutinied, but were
disarmed. Soldiers at Krasnoyarsk
wounded a colonel and killed a captain.
Both had sabred linen while in a state cf
intoxication. At Blazon the mutineers
killed nobody, because they aimed high.
The ►nutiny is reported over, all the
men's demands having been granted. A
strike of the dockers at Rybensk serious-
ly interferes with the grain trade.
DETAILS OF MUTINY.
The Associated Press cables from St.
Petersburg :-A serious mutiny, which
for a time threatened to place ttie for-
tress of Sebastopol in possession of the
mutineers was suppressed yesterday,
according to a special despatch to The
Novoe \'renrya. The mutiny was started
by a battalion of fortress artillery which
declined to obey orders, whereupon the
men were promptly disarmed. The two
battalions then muUnied and took pos-
session of the guns in the north shore
batteries, but on the appearance of
several loyal regiments of infantry the
mutineers abandoned the idea of fight-
ing and returned to their barracks.
General Nepleuff, commander of tho
fortress of Sebastopol, Is represented to
be greatly concerned about the temper
of the sailors as well as the soldiers of
the fortress.
MORALE OF THE ENTIRE ARMY
SHAKEN.
That the morale of the whole array
is being shaken by the revolutionary
propaganda is proved by the continual
extension of the rebellious outbreaks
among the troops. It appears to be con-
firmed that the lloltschotf regiment at
Ryazan has driven out its oflicens anti
burned the armory. Another report Bays
the soldiers deliberately attacked the
officers' club at ilyazan, killing one offi-
cer and wounding two others. A panic
prevails In the town.
Four companies of the Viborg regi-
ment stationed in St. Petersburg have
presented demands which were acceded
to, and they have now returned to duty.
The soldiers of tho notorious Senmen-
ovsky regiment, whose name became
synonymous with repression owing to
the deeds committed by these troops at
Moscow, are reported to have held a
meeting and to have decided that they
cannot any longer endure the public
opprobrium, and must wipe out the
stain on the regiment. The tenderness
with which the military nuthoritiee are
treating these and recurring exhibitions
of the mutinous spirit among the troops
Is sufficient evidence that they fear the
entire army Is infected.
REMARKABLE FIND.
Blieleton and Treasure Map in
Brunswick Cave.
An Andover despatch says:
ery that has excited the whole commun-
ity and started scores of eager people
treasure -hunting, was made on Tuesday,
when John and Charles Stewart, of
Johnsville, blasted their way into an old
Crocaded cave and found there a skele-
ton with some old books dated nearly
200 years back and some manuscripts
purporting to be maps of other caves
where wealth is hidden. The discovery
was caused by the recent storm, which
tlew down a large tree, revealing a
smoke -blackened holo under its roots,
extending far Into the ground. The find-
ers got dynamite and forced the en -
ti once, when they wero astounded to
find twelve stone steps leading down to
a passage seven feet long and two feet
wide. This opened into a main room,
*Lout 12 feet square.
Upon entering the larger room they
were startled to find the bones of a hu-
man being, lying in a bunk made of
stone. The bones were dry and crumb-
ly Near the bones was a gold ring; on
which was inscribed, "John Long, Dec.
4, 1779." A few inches away was n
15ilvor watch, which bore tho dote 17.10,
but In which can be found no inscrip-
tion of any sort.
Underneath tine hunk they found three
hooks, two in Latin, the third one writ•
ten In English. One of the i.ntln books
was Suetnnius' "History of Rome," dat-
ed 1667, and on the fly -leaf were several
Latin inscriptions. Inside was the fol-
lowing: "11. A. Strang, Oxford Ce,llege,
'tiny 24. 1676." Underneath this appear -
C.] the name, "Jaunes Hayward. 1655."
The other Latin book was Seneca's
"Tragedies." and in was marked the
date. "1659." The English book was "The
Memoirs of Cardinal de Retz." Inside the
rover of this hook were written the
names. "David Fowles" and "Michael
Carney." The books were wrapped in it
pine of Lark. and the whole were in an
old iron kettle. On the hark was M-
ee -libel n map and seine written instruc-
tions. which the efessrs. Stewart are
guarding carefully. helieveing that it
contains n clue to secret treasure.

NOT ENOUGH MEN FOR HARVEST.
Cry For Help Will he Great. Says Immi-
gration Official.
A Winnipeg despatch says:: "Not for
many years has there been such a short-
age of labor es this season," said J. J.
Golden, Provincial Commissioner of Im-
migration, on Thursday. "There has
been so much railway construction in
progress and the roads are so hard up
for amen that they are snatching up
escry available hand. However, even
with the rallw•nys eliminated. it would
be impossible this summer to supply
IN demands throughout Manitoba and
the West for lama help to gather the
lears'ests. Even now we cannot meet the
deniend, and as the srnnnmer advances
the cry for help is going to be enorm-
ous. fly estimate now is that Ihere will
be needed at tenet from 20.000 to 25,000
men to harvest the crops."
Among the immigrants teller will ar-
rive in Winnipeg on Saturd^y will be
tturlv•twe fishermen frnrn Stornoway,
nt the island of Lewis, which l.elengs to
the Hebrides group. The immigration
nulhotilie, are puzzled where to place
the fleSermc•n from the farnwwy island,
es they know nothing of farming.

Magnificent Structure at Nlcolet, Que.,
a Prey to Flames.
A despatch from Nlcolet, Que., says :
Fire broke out in the cathedral on
Thursday night, utterly dtrstruying the
magnificent structure, together with the
old parish church, Convent of the Sis-
ters of Assumption and the residence of
Monategneur Suzor, late Bishop of
Nicolet. The loss is estimated at about
8400,000, on which there was partial in-
surance. Three hundred Sisters were In
the convent when the fire broke out, but
they had time to escape, not, however,
beforo many had fainted and some of
the older ones had become hysterical.
Fortunately, the children who go there
to study had returned to their homes
for holidays. It is not known how the
fire originated. The local fire brigade
was quite overpowered, but assistunco
came from St. Hyacinthe.

of Murder.
A despatch from Oxbow, Sask.,
says : Vincent Magyar, the Hungarian
farm laborer, who shot hes employer,
Donnie! Campbell, at Frobisher last
March, was on Thur: day found guilty of
murder and sentenced to hang in
Regina September 6. The crime was
peculiarly brutal. Magyar was of a
sullen disposition, and wished to leave
Campbell, who refueed to give trim his
discharge, owing to the approach of
seeding. Baulked In his desire, the in-
censed foreigner walked into the house,
got a shotgun and fatally wounded
Campbell, who was one of the best

specter.
A Toronto despatch says: In it's ap-
pointment of J. A. Ayearst, of Tltsnte.;-
ville, to be Provincial Inspector, under
the Liquor License Act, 14m Omer'ao
Government has again exemplifled its
desire to enforce fully the law as It Is
ed present. This new official will b& em-
ployed for the special purpose of seeing
that there are no violations or evasions
of the statutes In local option dish•icts.
Such a position was provided for by the
Liquor License Act, as it stood, prior
even to the amendments of last session,
1 ul no steps were taken to f111 it. The
duty of seeing that liquor was not sold
in local option municipalities was left
to the Inspectors of licenses within
whose jurisdiction such places existed.
These officers aro not absolved from
that duty now, but they will have the
aid of a new authority, who will travel
about the province, visiting Local op-
tion districts.
PEES SHOW INCREASE.
Payments to Provincial Secretary for
May Were $15,074.
A despatch from Toronto says: Tho
Increasing number of concerns incor-
porated In the province has resulted in
(ho augmentation of the fees paid Into
the Provincial Secretary's Department.
During the month of May the incorpora-
tion of companies and other sources of
Income produced a revenue to the pro-
vince of 815,074. Last year during the
Name period the fees were $14,431. In-
dications are that the total fees for the
year will be very large. Already since
Jan. 1 they have produced $25,000 more
than in the first five months of 1905.
VETERANS COMMUTE GRANTS.
Applications for Cash Payment instead
of Land Are Being Received.
A despatch from Toronto says: Large
numbers of veterans are applying to the
Government for the right to exchange
their certificates for land grants for a
cash payment of $50. Under the legis-
lation of last session, old soldiers who
have received the scrip and have not lo-
cated their property may commute their
grant for that sum of money. It looked
at first as if few were going to avail
themselves of this opportunity, but now -
the requests are corning in readily. As
soon as the applications are certified by
the rnilitury land grants branch of the
Department of Lands, Forests and
Mines, the treasury issues cheques with-
out delay.

A DOUBLE MURDER.
A Quarrel Between an Indian and a
Ilalf-Breed.
A despatch from Hazelton, central
British Colurnbin, says : A double mur-
der was committed here on Tuesday.
Alexander McIntosh, a halfbreed, and
Max Leclerc, a guide, from Kamloops,
are the victims, and the murderer is
alleged to be Simon Johnson, an In-
dian of the Kisplox tribe. McIntosh and
Johnson quarreled on Munday night,
and when the halfbreed was found next
day in the middle of the road a mile
and a half from town, suspicion at once
pointed to the Indian. McIntosh had
been shot from behind, apparently
while riding into town. A man was at
onee sent on a hunt for Johnson. Halt
an hour later an excited Indian rode
into lows from Kispfox to say he had
discovered another body. It turned out
to be that of Leclerc. He loo had been
shot In the back while returning to his
camp on IClsplox trail, north of Hazel -
on. Leclnre's horse Is missing, and i1
is supposed the Indian killed the guide
in order to get the animal so that he
might escape on 1t. Several Indians aro
on the trail of the suppqsed murderer.
CHURCH GUTTED BY i'IRE.
Hamilton's Central Presbyterlan Badly
Damaged.
A Hamilton despatch says : Central
Church, the leading Preshyterian church
here. situated at Jackson and Mc\ab
streets, was gutted by fire early on
Wednesday morning. The fire, which
was supposed to have been caused by
electric wires, broke out shortly before
1 o'clock. There was some delay in
giving the alarm, end when the fire-
men arrived they had work cut out for
therm. The smoke was so dense that it
was hard to locate the fire, but after
Neater was poured into the building for
Borne Bine flames burst nut of the front
tool side windows. which were all blown
out. The firemen prevented the flames '
from spreading to the Sunday school,
but the inside was gutted. The loss will
be heavy. The church was built many'
years ago, and was one of the hand-
somest in the city, having been improved
several years ago. A short time since a
fine new organ was installed. Rev. Dr.
I.ylc Is the pastor.

PLENTY OF RAIN.
The Western Crop Reports Continue
Favorable.
A Winnipeg despatch says: The
weekly crop report of the C. I'. 11. was
issued on Wednesday and shows that
the average growth is about eighteen 10
twenty inches, which Is quite satisfac-
nt this time of the season. The west
occasionally suffers from dry weather,
but this season the only question is
whether there is to be damage from ex-
cessive rain. Eighty teens' rain Is re-
ported at Poplar Point and Varquelte,
\vluich suggests n damage of 5 per cent.
\\ltlr This exception, ogeuls of the
C. P. 11. agree in staling that no harm
has yet hero suffered from the ruins of
the pest week, and practically the
unanimous opinion of the reporting
egenta is that the crop was never in
rnr,re promising condition than it is at
the prt.sent time.
