RiatinR An cuba.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Nov. 22.-The steam
ship Olivette, of the Plant Company, ar
rived at Key West to-day directly from
Havana, and brings reliable information
concerning the troubles there. which are of
q riotous rather than of an insurrectionary
character. A special correspondent at Key
West sends the following tonight: Cuban
disturbance is confined to riots in San Girls
tobel, owing to differences arising among
aldermen there relative to the enforcement
of a city ordinance. The Mayor called out
the military. and the riot was quelled after
two men had been killed and several others
wounded. All other participants were ar
rested.
On Nov. p. at Matanzas, the military in
terfered with the civil authorities, which
go incensed the latter that a riot eusued.
Then two regiments of Spanish soldiers met
during the riot on the street and fought,
creating much excitement. The hight be-
came general. and one officer and three
men were killed. and many more wounded.
Trouble still exists in and around Matan-
zas, though no serious fighting has occurred
since Thursday.

He was struck by a solid cannon ball weighing
twenty-six pounds, which lodged between the

considerably, but, although IL was examined by

place six hours afterward, when it was extracted,
TO the surprise of the whole army.

Special TO the Statesman.
GAINESVILLE, Tex, October 29.-Ben
Brown Chickasaw man, was in the city
to-day on his way home from Paris, where
he had been attending the United States
court. He says there is so much prejudice
among the Texas jurors and Choctaw citi-
zens that it is impossible for them to get
fair trial before a jury composed of men of
Red River county and other border coun-
ties in the Paris district.
Brown says that Judge Bowman, special
judge, Informed the jurors yesterday that
unless there was more respect paid by them
to the law and TIE evidence and less pre-
judice exercised that he would dismiss the
court and send every juror home. He is
positive this court will be removed from
Paris when congress meets and believes it
will be taken either to Muskogee or Gaines
vile, as both places are favorably men
toned by both Chickasaws and Choctaws
These people are going to lay their griev-
ances before congress next winter, and ask
that the United States court be taken from
Paris and located at some more convenient
point, where local prejudices do not exist
to the extent Of preventing a trial from
being fairly carried out.

KYLE, October 27.-Today's sun shon
over the noblest act ever done by the chival-
rous people of Kyle and Hays county. The
benefit feast and entertainment for the
Confederate Home at Austin netted over
$500. Yesterday, last night and today hum
dreds of people fiocked to the HEADQUARTERS
of the committee, and with the fine stock
exhibit today this may be styled the red
letter day of the noble little prairie city.
The speech of Honorable A. B. Storey, Of
Lockhart, last night, was made to about
600 people, and was one of the finest efforts
ever made by the eloquent young
man. Everybody was in earnest and
everybody contributed to one of the
noblest causes ever supported by patri-
otic people, the establishment Of a home
for the INDECENT and disabled soldiers who
gallantly wore the grey Three cheers and
q tiger for old Hays county. Her fund for
the Home will no doubt reach $500, sum
that can't be equaled by any county of its
population in the state.
The stock exhibit came off today and was
attended by people from Caldwell, Travis
and Comal counties. 1t will no doubt re-
suit in the Inauguration of county fair
for Hays county, the banner county Of
