BAncaxoNA. March 8. This city was the cane to-day of further demonstrations against the United State. The bands In the place of public reort played patriotic Airs, and were encored again and again. People on the boulevards sang- patriotic air, and there was much cheering- for Spain and shouting- of Death to the Yankees! It was very evident from the conversa tions everywhere that a war with the United States would meet with popular approval, but the Government Is not paying much attention to the populace beyond pre venting- It.

so far as possible, from acting In a disorderly manner. It being Sunday, the authorities feared that the demonstrations might become riot ous, and extra precautions were, taken to quail disorders in their Indpiency. As the day wore on, the crowds In the streets rapidly Increased la number. The gendarmes were active In their effort to prevent any large assemblage. When a large crowd would gathrr in the main Wtreeta.

the mounted gendarmes would charge Into It and drive the people Into the aide streets. Many person gathered about the French Consulate and enthusiastically cheered for France, which country, according to popular belief, would surely be an ally of Spain In the event of a war with the United State. The strong- guard that was placed some days ago about the American Consulate was strengthened, to-day. and It was well that this wa done, a the crowd attempted several time to approach the building, with the undoubted purpose of again attacking It. The guards were very vigilant in repelling the mob, and finally the latter, seeing that a more determined attempt to attack the Consulate would result tn bloodshed, sullenly withdrew to give vent to their patriotism In other direction.

Valencia. March 8. The actions of the snob element in Valencia became so threat- ening to-day thaftnartlar law waa'pro- claimed to-night. A crowd numbering fully ten thousand person met outside the bull ring and attempted to enter that place for the purpose of holding, a meeting to express anti-American sentiments. The authorities had Isaued an order forbidding- the holding of such meetings, but no attention wa paid to It.

The gendarme at the -bull ring refused to allow the mob to enter, and were told that they were traitors to Spain. Then several persons In the crowd cried Long live the republic!" 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 assumed euch a menacing aspect that order were given to the gendarmes to fire upon the mob. A volley was fired from the carbine carried by the gendarmes, and the crowd a curried for shelter.

It Is not known whether anybody waa hot. but It Is believed that the volley was fired over the heads of the rioters. The courage of the crowd returned later, and. with augmented numbers, the mob marched through the streets, shouting "Long- live Spain! "Death to the Yankees I The police and gendarmes repeatedly opposed the crowd, but their effort to restore order were not of the slightest avail. The Governor of the province then proclaimed martial law.

and any further riot- Ing will be dealt with sternly by the military power. The Governor, acting under Imperative order from Madrid, had concentrated a trocg force around the headquarter of the American Cousular Agent at Oroo, four miles from here. The crowd attempted to pass these guards, but were unable to do o. Then they, with a volubility and scope possessed only by low-class Spaniards, hurled Insults at the American Government and American people. The city Is quiet to-night, the mob not having the courage to face the troops, who are awaiting order to deal with rioters.

There were several small disturbance today at Saragosaa. but the authorities were alert and determined and the rioter were easily dispersed. At Tarragona a meeting- attended by two thousand person was held. A number of fiery speeches were made, the speakers glorifying Spain and holding- the United States and It people up to derision and contempt. The meeting broke up amid cries of Long live Spain! Death to the United States! At Bllboa a crowd of five hundred persons attempted to make an attack upon the 'American Consulate, but were prevented by the police.

At Vltorla poster were put upon walla declaring that Spain must go to war with the United State and put a curb on Yankee arrogance. The demonstration at Valencia was or-, ejanlsed by Republicans. The gendarme who waa wounded by a re-Tolver shot waa a corporal. He died tonight from the effect of hbj Injuries. During the rioting three civilians wete Injured.

L. March 8. Stephen Powell, a prominent business man of this place, wa murdered last night within a few feet of his own home. He waa found lying on the sidewalk by a neighbor, and died a few minutes after being carried into his house. Only a short time had elapsed from the time Mr.

Powell had left three friends two blocks frOfh his home and the time the crime was committed. Robbery was the motive of the deed, but, in their haste, the murderers overlooked a large sum of money which their victim carried In an Inside vest pocket. The murder startled the entire place, and early this morning two negroes were arrested on suspicion, by order of the Coroner. The two suspects told such a straightforward story that they were released. On of them left the village, while the other remained near by.

A short time after their release a briar-wood pip with the name of one of them cut on the bowl was found within a block of the- scene of the crime. When this became known, the one who had remained In the village was promptly rearrested, while officers armed with a warrant were sent after his com panion. They found him in a distant village this afternoon, and brought him back to this place. He was locked up In the Town HalL In the -meantime a third negro was taken into custody on suspicion. The murder was such a cold-blooded one that many persons remained away from church to assist the authorities la the search for clues.

Several hundred citizen engaged In a search of th territory surrounding Mr. Powell's house, with the hope of finding the weapon with which th deed was committed or some evidence that might assist In running down the perpetrators. Stephen Powell was seventy years old. He lived In a comfortable cottage on Fulton Avenue, a short distance from the business centre of the village, where he conducted a prosperous shoe store, sir. roweu was also manager of the Hempstead Electric Light and Gas Company.

He was a man of very steady habits, and was generally respected In the place. He closed his 1 shoe store at the usual hour last night, and. after going to the barber's shop, stopped In Post's grocery store. It was his custom to buy a supply of corn for hi chickens every Saturday night. He purchased several other articles at Post' store last night, and started for hi home, accompanied by ex-Justice B.

Valentine Clowes. Albert Cooper, and John Treadwell, three neighbors. Messrs. Cooper and Clowes parted company with Mr. Powell at the corner of Fulton Avenue, while Mr.

Treadwell left him one block away. They proceeded toward their home, while Mr. Powell walked leisurely toward his. Sir. Powell Foaad.

Dying-. "About ten minute after Mr. Powell and hi companions left Post' store. William Q. Lowe, a near neighbor of Mr.

Powell's, left the store for his home. When he arrived with fifty feet -of the gate leading Into Mr. Powell's yard he saw something lying on the sidewalk directly ahead of him. Without a suspicion a to what the object was, Mr. Lowe hurried forward and was shocked to find Mr.

Powell lying in a pool of blood, unconscious. He lifted up the dying man and then shouted for help. Mr. Lowe had left two friends a short distance away, and he faoied to secure their aid by his shouts. His crie were heard by Frank PowelL a son of Mr.

Powell; Samuel Mlntshell, and George Howell. They rushed from their homes, and were shocked beyond ex pression on learning- what had happened. Mr. Powell wa carefully carried Into his house, and Drs. Lanehart and Ludlow- were summoned.

They reached his bedside in a few minute, but saw at a glance that nothing could be done to save his life, Mr. Powell died in fifteen minutes, without regaining consciousness. The condition of Mr. Powell's clothing showed clearly the motive for his murder. One trousers' pocket was turned insido out.

his vest pockets were empty, and two but tons that were missing- from his vest showed that It had been torn open by his murderer In their search for money and other valuables. There were two Inside vest pockets to his vest, and in the left hand on was found 2S8 in bills. The other pocket waa empty. It I not known how much money the murderer grot. Mr.

Powell was In the habit of carrying In each of his pockets change, which he used In bis business, and he never told his family how much money he carried at a time. It was generally known In the village that he always carried a considerable sum with him. and his family believe that the men who killed him secured quit a large amount. Mr. PoweU wore no jewelry, not even car rying a watch.

Everything surrounding th crime shows that It must have been committed In a short apace of time. Mr. Lowe is positive that he was only ten minutes behind Mr. Powell and his three friends, and a he walked rather rapidly the murderer did not have moment to spare. Mr.

Powell's house stands about tte centre of the block, be tween Hilton Avenue on the west and Ter race Avenue on the east. At each of these street corners, but on the side opposite to where the murder wa committed, two powerful electrio light shed their rays for some distance each way, making th street very light at night. Th authorities believe that th murderers wer la hiding, behind a big tree that stands close to the sidewalk where the dying man was found, and which Is flanked by two large telegraph poles.

Paul, March 8. There is a great deal of excitement among the Republican this evening over the report that letters have been written to several leaders In this State, trying to get -them Into a combination looking to the defeat of McKlnley In the National Convention. The purport of these letters Is that Reed will have the New-England delegation. Morton those of New-York and Florida, Quay that of Pennsylvania, Allison that of Iowa, and Cullom that of Illinois, and that if the Davis delegation from Minnesota will go into a deal with these and other scattering delegations the nomination of McKlnley may be prevented. in addition to this, it is discovered that a number of the men slated to go on the Davis delegation from this State are for Reed, and Allison as second and third choices.

This has distressed and angered the McKlnley Republicans so that they threaten to organize Immediately for McKlnley and defeat the Davis delesrationa In both State and Congressional conventions. i nis mattes tne situation aecidediy critical for Davis, as the Republicans of Minnesota are really for McKlnley tn a ratio of 10 to 1, and are opposed to having the vote of th State manipulated in the interest of another attenuate or a set oi canaiaates.

The Superintendent and foreman looked at the box and then at each other, and without further argument left. the room. As nothing further happened in the next ten minute they decided to go back and take another look at what they wero now waa a mysterious machine.

Superintendent Henderson carefuly untied the string and pulled the wrapper from the box, which proved to be a small affair of two compartments, one sliding into the other. Not wishing to run any risks, however, the Superintendent cut a small round hole in the middle of what appeared to be the upper portion of the object, and discovered through the hole in the lid a piece of three-quarter-inch gaspipe fastened securely so a to avoid rattling. At its end wa a protruding fuse which was connected with a small cap that wa so arranged that It would explode If one box was drawn through the other, as would necessarily follow In case the recipient tried to get-at the interior. The article was then placed in the safe, which was locked. Should the box prove to contain deadly explosives.

Ita mailing will constitute the fourth unsuccessful attempt that has been made to kill or Armour, and in each Instance the United States mall will have been the means of discovering- the character of the missives. The officials of the Hyde Park postal station are of the opinion to-nig-ht that the bomb wa mailed by a reporter for the paper which published the story exclusively this morning. Superintendent Hendrlck-son said the package had been in the office only twenty minutes when a reporter for a morning paper came In making inquiries about it. Information was refused, and the supposed infernal machine was locked up In the vault. A report was written on the matter, but It wa not taken to Postmaster Hesing nor was any information given out by the three employe of the station.

Notwithstanding this, the paper published a minute description of the bomb, and Superintendent Hendiickson says It could not have been written unless the writer had seen tho alleged Infernal machine. The matter will be reported to Inspector Stuart and Mr. Hesing to-morrow xnorhing. CARDINAL GIBBONS MAKES A. PLEA Urges Laitjtj Co-operate with Clergy ani Talis, Apparently, Acralnst the A.

Many of his au dience thought that th Cardinal had In mind th opposition of th A. P.

A. to Catholic Institutions. Every kingdom that fights against it self falls," he said; on th other hand. every kingdom or republic whose citizens ar Imbued with a united spirit of patriot ism Is destined to prosper and flourish. A moral leader, no matter how high, his character, is powerless, unless he has a loyal, devoted, united community behind him.

With united co-operation such a leader can elevate and lift up his community. The iami la true of the religious world. Our course is plain. We must trv. as did the fathers of old, to maintain an unalterable patience amid calumny and persecution.

Thus shall we gain in the esteem of our fellow-men. Let us break down all the barriers between the laity and clertrv. for are we not all brethren and eisters In Christ Jesus, the children of the same God, and are we not all of the one Church and one baptism? You can advance Christ' Kingdom by a manltf rkai -ariBrAlll nrnaaainn as ifmim Christian faith. While granting to all other freedom in their religion, stand firmly lor ail your own rignts as Christians and Catholics. All we ask Is a fair field and no favor; we demand simply our rights."
