The spaniards ia a Tight Place.
NEW York, FEB. GA private
letter from Havana says the affair
at Trinidad is regarded as an ex-
ceptional one, and not at all indica-
cative of an uprising Of negroes
and burning Of plantations. The
opinion prevails that the insur-
gents will he able 10 cross the old
Troeha In comparative force Here
tofore they have been able oeea-
siOnally TO cross in small parties.
Should they succeed in crossing in
large numbers, the burning OF
plantations is inevitable. a secret
organization is thought TO exist,
with qualifications extending toall
parts Of the island, the object OF
which IS 10 give moral and mate
rial support 10 the insurgents, who
if successful in their operations i'm
the central and eastern depart
ments, win endeavor to pass into
the Villas district. TT is conceded
that the Spaniards are just now in
a tight place, and need men and
money to carry on tho war. The
want of both is apparent, and is
telling severely against the Span.

FIRE In MEMPHIS.


MEMPHIS. February 1.-The
burning Of the Memphis and
Louisville railroad machine shops
last night was done by John Me.
Carthy, in company with another
man, entered the office of the mas
ter mechanic and pretended being
intox Gated, and raised a row with
Dennis Roach, the Waterman,
whom he knocked down, and
Light ting a match set fire to a lot of
paoer. About this time Lee
Thomas, another Waterman, en-
tered the room, and taking in the
situation at glance, struck Me-
Carthy over the head with his
club. Mccarthy then ran, and
was pursued by Thomas, who
fired several shots at him, one of
which took effect in his side, as
stated by the woman who dressed
the wound. Up to an early hour
this morning tile police had failed
TO capture Mccarthy. The entire
loss reached $4,000. Fully two
hundred men are thrown ont Of
employment by the fire, but it is
thought now that the shops viii
be rebuilt az once.
