Insurgent Leader Maceo Has Crossed the Rubicon.

SPAIN'S TROOPS IN PURSUIT.

Important Engagement Imminent in Cuba. Royal Forces Endeavor to Prevent a Junction of tlie Armies of Maceo and

Gomez—Censorship Press Dispatches on the Situation. HAVANA, Dec. 5.—Reports current for

several days that Antonio Maceo had crossed the military line of La Trocha on Nov. 29 are confirmed here. He was accompanied by the bands of Miros, Cebreco and Quinton Banderas. The crossing was effected between the forts of La Sanchez and La Redonda, on the line north of Coego de Avila.

Upon crossing the line a force of the insurgents was detached to make an assault upon La Redonda fort, thus creating a diversion to prevent pursuit while the main force pushed on toward the borders of Santa Clara province, which it is proposed to invade. Maceo's force is closely pursued by Generals Aldave and Aldecoa, and Generals Suarez Valdez and Navarro have also been sent to attack him. An important engagement is imminent, the Spanish object being to divert Maceo's advance upon Santa Clara, and to prevent his junction with the forces of Maximo Gomez.

The mui)ii oi!S and baggage belonging to Maceo's forces has been carried on schooners from the Manzanillo coast to Santa Clara province, in order to enable the insurgents to go unencumbered and move more quickly.

An attack upon a fort near Santa Clara has been made by 800 insurgents. A column of 150 troops was sent to the relief of the fort and the insurgents were dispersed.

Lieutenant Aguilar, at the head of 28 guerrillas, was surrounded by a band of 200 insurgents, under the leader, Rios, near Manzanillo. The troops fought bravely and the official report says they dispersed tlie insurgents, who left three killed and five wounded when they retreated. Tho troops had one killed, the lieutenant, and six wounded.

It is reported that the Collazo expedition landed last Saturday. The insurgent leader, Lacret, moved out of Ciencaga, Zapata, and encamped near Jaguaramos. Columns of troops were dispatched to disperse them.

The insurgents have blown up two small bridges with dynamite on the Santa Spiritus railway.

A column of troops has fought the band of Zayas in the villas with a loss of 20 dead and wounded.

The insurgents have boarded the small schoooner Julio, near Cayo Frances, and have hanged Jhe captain on the mast.

Generals Suares, Yaldes and Navarro have met Gomez and Maceo near Ciago de Avila and Jicolea. After a short and fierce fight the insurgents were forced to retreat with a numerous loss. Tht troops occupy the insurgents' positions, their loss having been insignificant. It is reported that Lieutenant Winston Churchill of the royal army, son of the late Lord Randolph Churchill, took part in the engartment.

In an engagement in the province of Manzanillo the troops lost three prisoners and four missing, but all reappeared after the enc .unter.

"DIED OF CHOLERA."

•grille History of Eigjitfign Graves In the Country ChurchyM« at Sandy -Hill.

In the old graveyard of the Sandy Hill district, in the town of Dansville, are 18 graves, the time stained stones of which, below the names and dates inscribed thereon, bear the words, "Died of Cholera." The time covered by the dates is from Aug. 24 to Sept. 5, 1834 —12 days. The settlement thereabout, in 1834, was an isolated one among the pines that then covered northern Steuben county, and composed of not more than threescore souls. The story'of how it fell victim to the scourge that carried one-third of its population away is told by an old resident.

Among the earliest settlers in the Sandy Hill district was John Brail, who came with his wife and seven children in 1817 and began clearing up a farm. He was a Pennsylvania German, eccentric, but kindly and lovable. A physical pe-

culiarity of this pioneer was that his I teeth were all double, every one of them I being sound when he died at the age of I 90. In 1834 a great many Germans began settling in that part of Steuben I county. They came from New York up the Hudson river to Albany, thence to

Buffalo by the Erie canal, and the rest of the way as they could. In the summer of 1834 five Germans came to the Sandy Hill district, where they had purchased land of agents and became guests of Brail. They had walked from Buffalo, where they had left their families. In the kindness of his heart Brail sent teams to Buffalo to I. fetch the latter in. He had a vacant I loghonse on his farm, which he placed at the disposal of the emigrants until they could put up houses on their land.

Mrs. Brail helped some of. the women in washing clothes the day they arrived. That evening she was taken violently ill and died in great agony the next day, Aug. 24. Doctors had been summoned from Dansville. They said Mrs. Brail had died of cholera morbus. Some of her neighbors insisted that it was a case of malignant cholera and forbade a public funeral. Mrs. Brail was buried on Thursday. On Saturday two of her daughters were prostrated with the disease. One of them died the same night. While her plain hemlock coffin was being made a brother was seized with the malady and shut himself in the barn, where he died while his sister's body was being taken to the graveyard. One by one the emigrants fell Victims to the disease. A Mrs. Kerch and her children died within three days. Between that time and Sept. 30 eight others fell victims to the plague. All were buried, after the funeral of Mrs. Brail, with the clothes they wore or wrapped in the bedding on which they died. It was afterward learned that on the way from Albany to Buffalo a sister of Mrs. Kerch died after symptoms such as had attended the victims at Sandy Hill. She was buried, but her clothing was kept and placed in a trunk. That clothing was some that Mrs. Brail assisted in washing on the arrival of the emigrants at the Brail farm.

Near by the Brail farm was the Stone farm. The Stones came from Massachusetts. Mrs. Stone brought with her the seeds of a sweet apple that grew in an orchard on her father's farm in that state. She planted them and raised a fine orchard of the same variety of apples. In the season %f 1835 the trees bore apples that were as sour as they had been sweet before, and their fruit was sour ever afterward. One of those trees of that original orchard is standing yet and bore apples for the last time three years ago. They were sweet—the first sweet apples it had borne since 1834.—Bath (N. Y.) Letter in New York Sun.

A Double Dinner.

A distinguished judge frequently brings friends home to dinner quite unexpectedly. This habit is certainly hospitable, but it is not popular with wives.

One court day the genial judge invited a number of his legal brethren to dine with him, serenely oblivious of the fact that his wife was totally unprepared for such an incursion. The lady, however, was equal to the occasion. She did not fuss and frown and make things unpleasant all round. On the contrary, she accepted the situation with a good grace and made the best of it.

The modest meal was served as promptly as possible, and though it was not a sumptuous banquet it was at least agreeable to.guests and host. When dinner was over, just before leaving the gentlemen to their wine and cigars, the lady rose and said: "Gentlemen, I wish to say one word. You have dined today with the judge will you do mo the honor of dining tomorrow with me?"

A chorus of applause greeted this speech, and next day the lady welcomed her husband's friends to a dinner worthy of such an accomplished hostess.—Exchange.

Unconventional Preacher of St. Albans.

The unconventional preacher at St. Albans, Holborn, has been giving his congregation some seasonable advice as to the kind of dinner parties they should give. "Do not," Father Stanton said the other day, "give dinners at

guin

eas a head to rich people who have plenty of food at home and do not appreciate your attentions, but spend the £50 which the diuner would cost you on a feast to the poor, who are in want of the necessaries of life and who would not say at the end, 'How thankful we are that this is over.'"—Westminster Gazette.

Churches and Electric Light.

The congregation of sacred rites in Rome was recently asked to decide whether electrio lights could be used "for dissipating darkness and for increasing the exterior attractiveness of churches." Its answer was as follows: "For worship, no. But for dispelling darkness and illuminating ohurches more brilliantly, yes with caution, however, so that the manner may }iot ai^oduce the appearance of a theater.'*
