Germans and Americans Held Prisoners at
Sant.ag'o—Insureents Expecting Aid
From the United States
Tampa, Fla., March 24.—The steamer Oli-
vette arrived to-nlx'ht from Havana, bring-
ing a number of passenger* from the east-
ern end of the Islands. These were aide to
give more authentic accounts of the Cu-
ban Insurrection than any yet received.
Among them was a gentleman who has
been at Manzanillo from January 8 to March
17, excepting occasional visits to the In-
terior. He sta'tes that the uprising occurred
simultaneously throughout the province of
Santiago February 24. Next day General
La Chainbre arrived at Guantanamo from
Santiago with 200 Spanish soldiers, return-
ing to Santiago on the 2Ct'h with a part
of the waine troops, ills reason was un-
known then, but it Is supposed that he
feared a trap. The chief of the rebels is
Henry Urooks, nephew of Richard lirooks,
of Santiago and Guantanamo. Some state
that he is Insane; others think liiin very
ftbie, but all concede his bravery, deter-
mination and etllclency in the use of lire
arms. He has no Americans with hlin.
Since the first outbreak he has been Joined
by Periquo Perez, a very good soldier.
They have 600 men at Guantanamo.
Mirabel, a bandflt, who held for ransom
the 11-year-old son of Senor Lopez of Htan-
agua, returned the child to his parents
on March 15. He claims to hold a commis-
sion of colonel. He commands a strong,
dangerous band. At Santiago some youm<
men who were In sympathy with the cause
did not join the movement, fearing that
the negroes were the principal directors.
This Inference was drawn from Guillernos'
statement that his chief was Gunalberti
Gomez.
About thirty miles from Santiago near
Eleobez. 400 Spanish troops were on March
15 ambuscaded by an insurgent band un-
der command of Pallachlo. The Spanish
loss was exceedingly heavy. They were
routed and the Cubans defied the Spanish
authorities to send for the dead and
wounded. The number of the Cuban band
Is unknown. Guillernos, who has a band
In the vicinity of Crosti, was seen by the
passengers Interviewed. He is a leader of
strength a<nd the government forces fear
and watch him. fhey have circulated re-
ports that Guillernos died recently of dia-
betes. He was a government employe un-
der the Congo treaty, but he has re-
nounced his employment for the present
Insurrection. That his band is well
equipped Is positively known. The alcalde
or mayor of Iremza at the first outbreak
received orders from the governor of the
Santiago province to collect all arms possi-
ble from the inhabitants, which he did,
and then fled to meet Guillernos at an ap-
pointed place in the mountains.
Guerra, under the command of Marso,
Is considered t'he 'bravest insurgent leader.
He 'hovers near Manzanillo. commanding
COO well armed cavalry. About Marc'h 10
he ransacked Champuegla village, which
consisted of about 70U inhabitants, and
which was guarded by fifty Spanish sol-
diers. The commanding lieutenant was
captured While absent from the garrison,
but refused t'o give up the arms -of 'the
'fortification, which was surrounded, and
upon the promise of life being spared, the
aims of the barracks were surrendered.
The Guerra band carry a Spanish flag with
diagonal white stripes. Kntering a town
they cry, "Viva Kspan^l!" "Viva Cuba!"
"Viva Autonomic!" "Muerto Mai Guviern-
er!" (death to bad government).
A great many ex-Spanish soldiers are
with Guerra and Marso. Four miles from
Manrillo Guerra captured all the arms on
the plantation. As a rule the plantations
were unmolested. In Manzanillo the vol-
unteers are constantly fearing capture.
The entrances are guarded and no one is
allowed to pass the gates at night. Those
entering during the day are compelled to
surrender their arms to the guards. The
streets are constantly patrolled at night.
Some of the stores have erected opposite
their stands small turreted towers with
their round bo,lies projecting into streets
from the corners so that the loop holes
command the four directions on the streets.
These towers are of stone, fourteen inch 'S
thick, about ten feet high and twelve feet
in diameter. Four have been erected in
Manzanillo, while six old turrets of wood
from the former revolution have been re-
paired and several towers of timber have
been constructed. Guerra has charge of
the coast from Manzanillo to Cape Cruz,
rdxty miles of Cuba's richest territory.
The latest reports are that the insurgent
forces have withdrawn into the interior to
plan an outbreak, it is thought upon San-
tiago.
Colonel Santocilda has arrived at Man-
zanillo from Santiago and is in command
of the Manzanillo station of Spanish troop*.
Colonel Santocilda was in command of
100 soldiers, who. after a fisht at Bayre,
started for Manzanillo. When passing
Bayamo and about live miles distant he
was ambushed by nearly 400 insurgents.
The fire was so fieive that they v.ere com-
pelled to form a hollow square to protect
themselves from each direction. The Span-
ish ranks were fearfully mowed down,
while Cuban losses were insignificant.
Among the latter Rodriguez, an aide of
Masso. was killed. Had It not been for
the timely arrival of Spanish troops from
Bayamo the band of Spaniards would have
been»a total loss. This assertion was made
in person by Santocilda to a passenger in-
terviewed. This conflict was the one seen
from the housetops of Bayamo and oc-
curred about March 10.
At the battle of Los Negros the govern-
ment was said to have defeated the in-
surgents. TVis is not so. as the battle was
an even draw, and not as reported by the
government
A report savs t'hat at Vetago on Friday
the Soanish troops attempted to regain
possession of Yare, now in the hands of in-
surgents, luit were forced to withdraw af-
ter a spirited siege; losses unmentioned.
The Whole country Is under the sway of
rebel influence. Bands of these are march-
es- toward Lasumas de Victoria and Puer-
to Principe, growing stronger as they
march. A strong band of insurgents are on
the northern coast, daily expecting an ex-
pedition from the United States. They are
to as.-ist in the disembarkation of such an
expedition the moment of its arrival. The
insurrection movement does not appear to
'be received with favor by the people in
the fields, who are moving into the cities.
All kinds of work is suspended. The cut-
ting of high grade timber was stopped,
from the fact that numbers of the settlers
are with the insurgents and others dare
not enter the forests for such purposes.
The insurgents do not allow the movement
of cattle, keeping them in their regular
pastures.
In the latter part of April the rainy sea-
son begins in that section. Then the roads
will become impassable, making all kinds
of movement difficult and expensive, espe-
cially with foreign troops, as horses with
tender feet will have to be shod or aban-
doned for their unfitness.
The small gunboat Counter Mister was
patrolling the coast near Cape Cruz on
Saturday, March 16, and noticed a ship's
yawl heading for them. It proved to be
two German sailors, who wanted water.
Jhey claimed to be fishermen from San
Domingo. They were sent to Santiago on
March 18 and put in jail where were also
two Americans found in the same manner
'two weeks previous. Their actions aroused
Spanish suspicion. The American and Ger-
man consuls both have the matter before
them.
The passenger mentioned is an American
citizen and gives a truthful account of the
situation. Many incidents mentioned he
is acquainted with by personal knowledge.
TO AID MRS. MAY BRICK.
Chicago, 111., March 24.—A decided step
was taken by Chicago women Interested in
the case of Mrs. Maybrick to-day at a spe-
cial meeting of the Woman's press league
of Chicago, which resolved to send to Eng-
land a member of the league to try to
arouse the interest of the English press in
the case of Mrs. Maybrick.
A number of petitions, one signed by the
vice president, have been sent to the home
secretary but without accomplishing any-
thing. So the women of Chicago have re-
solved to try, as a last resort, to inlluence
the children were murdered and
into the Ohio river. Ringo is now li
and will have a hearing to-morrow. ^

TEMPLE IMPKOVKMENTS.
New Waterworks, Fleet rlc Lights and
Railroad Shops; in prospective.
Temple, Tex., March "I -Temple has en- I
tered upon a new era of improvement in ,
building and securing • iiierprlm a. The
waterworks company has arranged to Is-
sue $150,0)0 In bonds in lieu of the $60,000
now outstanding, and with the $90,000 bal-
ance it Is proposed to replace the 8-inch
main to the river with a 16-inch main, ex-
tend the system in the city, build huge
reservoirs, place new machinery, and in
general make the plant strictly first-class.
W ork on the reservoirs has already com-
menced. The electric light company is
also arranging for extensive improve-
ments, and the machinery for same is now
en route. The present Heisler incandes-
cent and Ball long distance arc lights will
be superseded by the Edison system in the
city proper, and the old lights used for dis-
tant points, mills, etc. The PMison will
be a day current also and will be applica-
ble to machine uses. The new dynamos,
boilers, etc., will cost a large sum of
money. Temple enjoys the distinction this
season of being the largest cattle shipping
point in the south. This comes from the
establishment here of three large oil mills.
These mills will put in extensive additions
and improvements for the next season's
run.
The Santa Fe roundhouse, shops and
depot move is fast taking shape. The
plans have been accepted and work will
commence "S soon as titles to lands can
be arranged. The city donates about
fifty ac res of land in the heart of the clly
for shop purposes, and ::ll this territory
will be occupied with buildings and tracks.
It Is estimated that the contemplated im-
provements undertaken by the Santa Fe
at this point will cost in the neighborhood
of quarter of a million dollars, and most
of the money will be spent Immediately in
shops, tracks, etc.

SABINE PASS JETTIES.

Is Progressing Rapidly,
Orange, Tex., March 23.—The stone barge
being built here by J. W. Johnson & Co.
for the Sabine Pass construction company
will be ready to launch assoonasjier rud-
der Irons get here. A few hours' work calk-
ing her deck Is to be completed, when she
will be ready for work transferring rock
front the cars at the town of Sabine Pass
to the walls of the jetties on Sabine bar,
four miles below. Messrs. Johnson & Co.
have commenced work upon another barge
for the same parties and will rush it to
completion as fast as the men can put it
together.
Captain Dan Gillis will have a big barge
ready to launch during the coming week.
This one is also for the.Sabine construc-
tion company, but will be used to transfer
brush. It is estimated she will stow 450
cords. He delivered one In February.
A barge load of poles was towed down
to the pass yesterday and a barge load of
brush went down to-day. The brush cut-
ters are putting out a barge load a week
and in a short time double that quantity
will be shipped every week.
Mattresses are being constructed on t'he
company's wharf at Sabine Pass and as
soon as stone begins to come the work
of building up the west wall will com-
mence.
AN OPAL EATING CHICKEN.
Sad Fate of a Pet Bird With a Fondness
for Precious Stones.
Orange, Tex., March 23.—Colonel W. D.
Bettis has a valuable opal, about the size
of a grain of peaberry coffee, that he
wears in a scarf pin. Yesterday he called
up a pet chicken and took it in one hand
while he allowed It to pick some grains ol'
corn from his other hand. The chicken
soon swallowed the half dozen grains that
were held out to It, and, looking about
for more, spied the opal and struck it. but
did not quite dislodge it from the setting.
As quick as a flash the bird made another
and more successful grab at the stone,
tearing it out and swallowing It down
with a single motion. The chicken was a
great pet in the family, but opals cost
more than chickens. A council of war
was tailed, and it was decided that the
opal must be found even at the cost of a
life, so about two hours later the chicken
was executed and the opal discovered
lodged in its gizzard.
SMALLPOX WIPED OUT.
Milwaukee, Wis., March 24.—The small-
pox, which was for some weeks last sum-
mer and fall epidemic in this city and
which has kept the health department busy-
all winter, is practically wdped out. The
Isolation hospitals have been closed and
there are now only six cases in the city.
In nine months there have been 1011 cases
and 269 deaths. The authorities have had
many evils to cope with in their work of
suppressing the disease. Mobs have fought
tlio health officers who were sent to re-
move patients to the hospitals and a con-
stant warfare has been waged In certain
quarters against the method of coping with
the pest.
ROBBERS JAILED.
Birmingham, Ala., March 24.—Peter Tal-
lcersley, Isha Falls John Robinson and
Mack Falls are In jail here charged with a
brutal attack upon Mr. and Mrs. John Barr
last night. There is intense excitement
and some talk of lynching. Barr, who
has a store at Tuscaloosa, was returning
home late last night with his wife, having
in his pocket the proceeds of the day's
sales. The couple were attacked by the
four negroes and both were beaten into
insensibility, Barr being probably fatally
injured. Mrs. Barr identified Talkersley
as one of their assailants and he con-
fessed, implicating the other three.
BIG CATCH OF BURGLARS.
Fort Wayne, Ind., March 24.—The biggest
catch of burglars ever made in northern
Indiana was made here to-day. For six
months burglars, highwaymen and cracks-
men have plied their nefarious work here,
also at Wallen. Dubois county, and at
Huntington, looting twenty or more stores.
Captain Bergman and the police surround-
ed the entire gang in a house here and
captured them. Among them were George
Dolan and William Thompson, pals of the
notorious Marvin; Jack Guy, Henry Lacey,
Adolph Rellling and a locksmith. One con-
fessed thirty jobs. The house has thou-
sands of dollars worth of stolen goods in it.
WAS NOT INTERFERED WITH.
New York, March 24.—The Pacific Mall
steamship Colombia, from Colon March 6,
arrived to-day. Captain Henderson re-
ports that at S.33 p. m. on the 19th the Co-
lombia passed Cape Mays! about three and
a half miles from shore. Shortly after-
ward the officer on the bridge sighted a
Spanish man-of-war about seven miles
ahead steaming toward the north side of
the island of Cuba. The war vessel was a
two-masted schooner rigged vessel, painted
white. She showed no signals and no at-
tention was paid to her by the officers of
the steamship, which proceeded on her
usual course.
FIGHT WITH A MANIAC.
Paris, Mo., March 25.—Sheriff Umstadt
and posse, while attempting to arrest
Thomas Moulawa, a maniac, living near
here, was torced to shoot him and beat
him into insensibility. Moulawa fought

ward with a large corn knife. Several of
the posse were injured before the maniac
was overpowered. His wounds may not
be fatal.
CHILDREN MISSING.
Huntington, W. Va., March 24.—Several
days ago two little boys, aged '7 and 9, re-
spectively, suddenly disappeared from

AT TEMPLE.
Temple, Bell Co., Tex., March 24.—The ap-
proach cf the spring elections is perhaps
responsible for the dearth of news Items
that this city usually presents. Everybody
is talking election, and for tihe first time
in the city's history there is a drawing of
lines—not political lines, but a separation
into parties of t'hose who approve and
those w'ho disapprove the legislation that
'has been enacted the past year. The fight
is waxing warm, and last night the candi-
dates for city attorney made addresses on
the square to a large crowd.
The hold-over aldermen have all an-
nounced as candidates, but they contend
that t'heir offices are Illegally taken from
fhem, and t'hat t'hey do not contest for
the reason that there Is nothing in the
office to justify the trouble and expense.

nicipal election is to be held here April 2.

man in these cases, but for marshal there
are three candidates, and they are making
the race in dead earnest. F. D. Huston,
the present incumbent, is one of them, and
John llenson and W. Henry Harris are
the other two. The Sunday closing ques-
tion Is made a leading Issue, the Taw not
having been rigidly enforced heretofore.
VICTORIA TICKET.

citizens' meeting reconvened at the court
house last night and nominated candidates
for mayor and aldermen. There are to be
eight aldermen elected, two from each
ward, and every voter in the city votes
for all the aldermen if he chooses. The
ticket formulated last night is made up of
representative conservative business men
and will probably meet with little opposi-
tion. One of the nominees is a colored
man.

pus case of E. V. Debs and others of the

and others associated with him contend
that the United States circuit court had
no jurisdiction while sitting as a court of
equity to restrain them by injunction in
proceeding with the strike, and ask for a
writ of habeas corpus for their release.

big mare by imp. Woodlands, out of Sister,
was sent a mile in 1.43V,. Sister Mary la
entered in the Boundless handicap to be
run at Little Rock. She covered the cir-
cuit well in hand, and in obedience to
Trainer Brlen's signals the exercise boy
slowed her up in the last furlong. This is
the second time she has been worked since
reaching Memphis. The fiist work she did
was to cover six furlongs in 1.19.
The Santa Anita string was on the track
early. Rey El Santa Anita and Santiago
were galloped a mile in l.Td'y and a little
later Happy Day and Chlquito went the
circuit in 1.52. Eldorado, Baldwin's big gray
jumper, negotiated a half in 0.54.
Another good mile was that of Captain
Winn Cannon's Walter Talbert, who
worked a mile in 1.46%, finishing tinder a
strong pull. Belford, another of Captain
Cannon's string, worked a mile in 3.48%.
Walter Talbert Is a promising 3-year-old.
He is a three-year winner and will bear
watching.
Walbaum's Potentate worked six fur-
longs In 1.21, fighting for his head. All of
Corrlgan's horses were out for an airing.

SULLIVAN'S CONDITION.
Boston, Mass., March 24.—John L. Sulli
van, who caught a severe cold last week,
which threatened to develop into pneu-
monia, was resting comfortably to-night,
and Dr. Ordway, his physician, says if he
can keep the big fellow in doors a few-
days longer all danger will have been
passed. Sullivan has been confined to his
room at the house of his sister for four
days, and on Friday night his condition
was considered serious. Good nursing and
medical attendance have put him on his
feet again. With the appearance of spring
Sullivan discarded his overcoat, and the
day after the Kllraln-O'Donnell fight, at
which he became greatly excited, he com-
plained of feeling ill. Dr. Ordway was
called in at the suggestion of Sullivan's
sister, but he had to talk to the ex-cham-
pion three hours before he convinced him
that he was ill enough to go to bed. Sulli-
van was able to sit up for four hours in
bed to-day and says that he will get out
into the sunshine a day or two from now.
BLOODY FIGHT AT EL PASO.
El Paso, Tex., March 24.—Gasser of El
Paso knocked out Rochett of San Francis-
co in the seventh round last night in the
Gem theater. When the referee declared
the result of the fight, which was a bloody
one, Gasser made a rush for Roehett's sec-
ond and knocked him out. This caused a
general light, which resulted in many
bloody noses. The police had been in-
structed to prevent the fight, but there
were no arrests.

letter to a friend in this county. The

thus:
Postmaster, do not this letter delay,
But send it at once upon its way
As fast as travels the wheels of time
To W. S. Jones, in the southern clime,
At Cook's Point, Texas, let it lay.
In Burleson county, you understand;
And within ten days, should it miscarry,
Return to sender, or "Old Harry."

•INDIGNANT AT THE REICHSTAG.
London, Marcih 25.—A dispatch from Vi-
enna says there is an expression of un-
mitigated indignation at the action of the
German reichstag toward Prince Bismarck.
The scorn and anger manifested by the
press is almost excessive. The Times, in
an editorial, says: "Saturday's vote in-
jures no one but t'he reichstag itself. The
emperor's telegram to Bismarck expresses
the real sentiment of the German people,
who have abundant means of voicing it."

cold weather ceased farmers are pushing
their work to finish planting corn and veg-
etables.

to lag. It is not sufficiently strong yet to
benefit the weak cattle much.
