CUBANS Wi BITTLE Details of a Warm Engagement Ee,celvcd In New York. INSURGENTS REINFOROED. Mach Bravery Shown on Both Sides. Brilliant Charge by the Spanish—The Battle Raged All Day and Night—Three Hundred Spaniard* Killed and Forty I Cuban* Killed and Wounded. New York, Sept. 34.—News of a battle in which the Spanish were defeated and lost 800 men was received yeater--1 day by President Palma. It came in a letter written Sept. 14 by Pedro Rovira, a Cajjan private, who had deserted from the Spanish ranks at Pera Lego. i when Campos, was defeated. In a later engagement Rovira was oaptnred by the Spanish, court-martialed and sentenced , to receive 400 lashes and to be shot. The sentence wtis carried out while Rovira , was shouting for Cuban liberty. The letter went on to describe the battle. i A man who was sick in the hospital at Casimbra escaped to Guantenin in August and told the Spaniards that General Jose Maceo was sick in the Casimbra hospital and had only 30 men 1 with him. On Aug. 13 Maceo heard , that 1,200 men, one battalion corps, a squadron of cavalry and two pieces of artillery were inarching on him. Maceo mounted his horse and from the mountain of Santa Maria viewed the enemy’s position. He ordered eight of his men to keep up Bring from ambush to deceive the Spanish and meanwhile he had sent word to his brother, General Antonio Maceo. On Aug. 31 the Spaniards captured ■ Francis, and General Jose Maceo fortified his tew men in a plantation house near the hospital. He wished to guard the right side of the road leading to Baccalano which skirted the hospital. The Spanish were slowly closing in on him when General Cebreco and a Cut ban column came to his relief and made the enemy evacuate their position. Reinforcement* Arrive. • A hot engagement followed, in which the Spanish regained their position, but were unable to hold it long, as General i Antonio Maceo suddenly appeared on the scene and, with Cebreco and Colonel 1 Mieuninit, succeeded in wresting it from Caualle and Garrido, who commanded the Spanish. The Spanish now , made a brilliant charge, and for the time managed to secure the position, but in the engagement the Spanish captain of artillery was mortally wounded and they slowly withdrew, thtf Cubans fighting them back. This battle lasted from 5 o’clock a. m. ' to 1 o'clock p. ni. It was resumed in , the early afternoon, however, and is f described as follows: “General Antonia Maceo clfeverly turned the Spanish , column and gained the pass of Baccalano. He then massed his troops before ; the Spanish vanguard while General I Jose Maceo got his men in the rear. “A very desperate ensued. ’ It raged until the dawn of the next day, Sept. 1. The Spanish then commenced to retreat until' they reached the Igubanabano field, where they were able to use their cavalry, which was impossible on the mountains of Santa Marcia. “They did not gain any advantage, however, and after burning their provisions they continued to retreat to Mountanin, which place they entered in scattered groups. ” i The Cubans had no cavalry, but made effective use of dynamite bombs, which, ' the letter states, struck terror to the enemy. In the engagement the Cuban loss was 40 men wounded and killed. The Spaniards lost over 300 men, 40 horses and a large store of provisions and munitions of war. The Cubans are still capturing stragglers and picking up arms near Mountanin. Antonio Maceo returned to his camp at Escandel. Three miles away at Caney the Cubans can see their flag floating over his camp. Many Filibuster* at Key West. Washington, Sept. 24.—Captain Abbey of the revenue cutter Winona, which captured the schooner Lark on the 27th inst., in a report to the treasury department says that he has no doubt that the party on the Lark were making for some rendezvous among the Florida Keys, either to join other parties or wait for a suitable vessel to take them to Cuba. The Spanish consul in a sworn statement made to Captain Abbey declares that, to the best of his belief, there are 100 filibusters now in Key West preparing to go to Cuba. LONG LOST HUSBAND. Johann* Bl.h and Her Missing Partner of Twenty-Five Years Ago. , , Westfield, Mass., Sept. 24.—Mrs. Johanna Bish of this town believes she has discovered her husband, missing for 25 years, in the person of William Diamond of Marinette, Wis., a man reported to be worth about $200,000 and to have married another woman in that state. In 1868, about two years after his first marriage, Bish became involved in a ’scandal incident to the celebration of General Grant’s first election an nresi. dent and left for parts unknown. He corresponded regularly with his wife for a while, and then the letters ceased altogether and no information of his whereabouts were obtainable. During the long years till now the wife has worked faithfully and hard 4md has managed to support herself. Diamond was identified as Bish by a man who has known him from childhood. Authority has been given a Marinetta lawyer to begin suit against Diamond for support for his wife, and several well known people are interesting themselves in the case. Unavoidably Detained. • Ak r on, 0., Sept. 24.—Rev. Arthur L. Moore of this place has been jailed charged with forging the name of Rev. Mr. Hollister to a check for SSO. Moore was to have officiated at a society wedding at Toledo last night and bought a >uit of clothes for the -event with the theck.

TICKLING TROUT. The Little Beauties Are Often Caught by the Hand. Shakespeare Is far from being the only high authority who asserts the possibility of catching trout without the aid of any other angling Implements than the fisherman's own hands. Robert Louis Stevenson knew all about this simple but effective method. There Is a passage in ‘‘Kidnapped’’ that describes it minutely. While David Balfour and Alan Breck Stewart were hiding in the ! mountains, they supplemented their diet I of porridge In just this way, and as David says, ‘‘grilled the little trouts that we caught with our hands under the stones and overhanging banks of the burn. This,” he adds, “was Indeed our chief pleasure and business. We spent a great part of our days at the waterside, stripped to the waist, and groping about or (as they say) ‘guddllng’ for these fish. The largest we got might have been three-quarters of a pound.” So Captain Nettleton, about whose trout tickling exploits there was an editorial article In the Times on Sunday, is again i vindicated. It will be seen that Stevenson uses the word “guddllng.” In the North of Ireland the term Is “ginnling.” The latter comes probably from the Scotch “ginner,” or "ginnel,” a fish’s gill. None of the dictionaries make any attempt to explain “guddle." An ancient fisherman In whom there is no guile, Informs us that trout remain quiet when tickled because parasites, especially at the low-water season, fasten themselves upon the creature’s skin, causing discomfort which friction of any kind allays. This is- not a poetic theory. A Great Leader. We are pleased to inform you that We have received the sole agency for Otto’s Cure the great throat andlunghealrr.

W YORK DEMOCRATS Very Much at Sea as to Their Ticket and i’latfonn. LOCAL OPTION IS FAVORED. Arbitration Committee Ha* Arrnpged an Amicable Adjustment of the Contest*. , —General Horatio C. King Will Probably Be Nominated For Secretary of State—Croker Will Not Participate. Syracuse, Sept. 23.—Where one week ago the Republicans at Saratoga had practically settled all the details of their convention with the single exception of- the excise plank, it is different with the Democratic convention which will meet here Tuesday. No details have been settled and those few delegates who have arrived are absolutely at sea as to what will be the ticket and what the platform. There does not seem to be any anxiety in the matter except over two points—that of the disposition of the excise matter and the settlement of disputes between the factions. Perhaps the most curious feature of this,.coming Deinocr . ic convention is the fact that none of the leaders have arrived in this cit Senator Hill is supposed to be in Albany. Senator MurRICHARD CROKER phy, Richard Croker and William FSheehan are in Saratoga. William R. Grace, Charles S. Fairchild and E. Ellery Anderson are still in New York. In regard to contests, it is pretty well agreed, so far as the Kings county contest goes, that the arrangement entered into by the arbitration committee of the Democratic state committee will be agreed to by both factions. This agreement gives to the regular organization two-thirds of a vote apiece, and to the contestants, known as Shepardites, onethird of a vote. This seems to be satisfactory upon the ground that the third of a vote given to the Shepard men fully represents their strength in Kings county- . ’ The general sentiment among the leaders, and even among the rank and file, is that the New York contest should be settled in the same manner. But Tammany representatives here are loud in their assertions that the vote controlled by the state Democracy in New York by no means entitles them to a one-third representation, and that if they were given a one-fourth representation they would have even more than their quota. From the list of candidates the following ipay be picked out as the most likely to compose the ticket: For secretary of state, General Horatio C. King of Kings; attorney general, Daniel C. Griffin of Jefferson; controller, Augustus Scheub of Erie: state treasurer, D. L; Dow of Schoharie; state engineer, George Clinton Ward of Oneida; judge of the court of appeals, Edward S. Rapallo of New York. It is the general concensus of opinion here that a majority of the delegates to the convention will favor a local option clause ill the platform as to Sunday opening of saloons. Mr. Croker Say* He Is Oat of Politics. Saratoga, Sept. 23.-“-Richard Croker spent yesterday with Senator Murphy. The latter was suffering from neuralgia, but should he sufficiently recover he will go to Syracuse today. Ex-Lieuten-ant Governor Sheehan will also go there. Mr. Croker, when -.seen yesterday, reiterated that he is out of politics and that he will not attend the Syracuse convention. Murder and Suicide. Oskaloosa, la., Sept. 23.—M. E. Stinson of St. Louis, formerly agent for the Rock Island railroad at Fairfield, la., at which point his parents reside, shot and killed Miss Arta Moore of Panora at an early hour yesterday and then committed suicide. The girl has for some time past been a student at lowa college. She came here from Grinnell Friday night and was met by Stinson. The reason for the killing is unknown. Burled In a Landslide. Quebec, Sept. 23.—A report comes from St. Luc, Champlain county, of a disastrous landslide on the Champlain river Saturday night. Zepirim Normandin’s house was carried away and five members of the family were buried in the debris. Three children escaped by jumping through windows, one of whom has since became insane as th» result of the calamity. The bodies were recovered. - -- - Third Large Fire lu a Year. Tower Hill, Ills., Sept. 23 —About one-fourth of this town has been consumed by fire. The town has no fire extinguishers of any kind, save buckets in the hands of citizens. Five stores, a barii and the schoolhouse' were entirely destroyed. This is the third large tire in a year. Cholera In Turkey. London, Sept. 23.—The Standard’s Constantinople correSppndefit says: Cholera is increasing here and in the vicinity of Broussa,' about 57 miles southeast of here, it is raging violently. Not Popular With Austrian Police, Vienna, Sept. 23.—At a demonstration by 8,000 workmen in favor of universal suffrage held.here yesterday, serious collisions occurred with the police Mid 26 arrests were made.
