Roman, between Jap Matsada Sorakichi
and Peter Schumacher, Of Anaconda, for

and was heavily backed, every dollar being

The referee did not happen to see it and

TRIED TRAIN wRECK1NG.

The King OF the Cuban Forests Tries Jesse
James Style.
NEW Yo9K. Aug. H.-Latest adyices from
Havana state that the outlaw Manuel Gar
ola, who styles himself king of the Cuban
Forests" has been trying his hand at train
wrecking. Recently he sent to the presi-
dent Of the Villa Nueva railway letter de-
manding 5000, and intimated that fail.
ure to comply with his request would prob
ably result In serious interruption to travel.
The ofncials Of the road paid no attention
to Garcia's communication, therefore the
king led his men to place
called Empalme and tore up about
one hundred and fifty yards of track
on the side Of sharp curve. Late in the
afternoon freight train. bound from
Regih to Matanzas, came along. The en-
gineer did mot perceive the danger until il
was too late to stop, and bad wreck en-
sued. Garcia and his gang promptly AZ
rived ON the scene and directed the con-
duct0r to tell them which cars contained
provisions. Rodriguez, the conductor, re-
piled by warning not to meddle with any
OF the freight, and showed a revolver TO en-
force his admonitions. A fight followed, in
which Garcia and his thirty colleagues
made short work of the five train men.
Rodriguez was killed, and the engineer,
fireman and one of the brakemen were
wounded and the other brakeman ran
away.
Loading their mules with whatever suited
their fancy, the outlaws returned to their
mountain Businesses before the civil guard
could put in an appearance. Garcia left
two letters at the scene of the wreck. One
was addressed to the captain of the civil
guard and is translated as follows:
SIR:-This train has been wrecked and
the most valuable part of its cargo carried
OF by Manual Garcia and his men, whom
you have previously tried in vain to cap-
ture. You are welcome to try to catch 1s
again, but I know you will not succeed.
The whole government OF Spain cannos
catch us. You and your miserable troops
are no good against Yours in Defiance.
MANUEL GARCIA.
The second letter was for the president OF
the Villa Nueva railroad. 1t said:
Dear Presidsnt:-You see have kept my
word. It would have paid you to send me
that "a, 900. write this to assure you that
mean to have money. You can send it now
or wait until have wrecked few more
trains. II you fail to send it before Friday.
AuRust5lbth, shall assume that you want
more trains wrecked. Do not t1atter your
self that the civil guard can catch me.
MANUEL GARCIA,
King of the Cuban Forests"

somewhat Of speciality Of tho now ar

pleasure ground, and had hoped that they
would work satisfactorily. Only few
weeks altar taking ONCE, he executed a
lease to the Yellowstone Park Association
Of three acres at the Mammoth hot springs,
ON which the hotel il erected, one acre At
Norris geyssr basin, two at the Lower gey-
cor basin, two acres at the Grand Canon,
ons acre At Yellowstone Lake, and one acre
at Tho Thumb Of the Yellowstone Lake, on
Shoshone Lake. Permission was also
granted to the association soon afterward
to place naphtha launch on the Yellow

ferred to BY Judge Tree 90 costing ''eight

was TO increase the attractions Of this re-

ferring particularly to his own lease to the

he was 'impelled solely by desire to make
the visits Of our fellow citizens to the park

Undoubtedly, therefore, il there is just
cause for the complaints made by Judge

to remedy them.

Especial Correspondence OF TIE INDEPENDENT. ]
LONDON. July 26.-Country house visiting
is an immense institution in England. and
exists to the same extent nowhere else,
although our elegant French cousins in
their present mania for everything British,
are trying hard to introduce it into their
stiff chateaux. Things have changed very
much since the old-fashioned days when
people paid visits Of months duration,
and when the height Of ambition Of every
outsider was to be received into county
society, the members of which entertained
one another with due solemnity. Even
county society in these democratic days is
less exclusive, and consequently more lively
than it used to be, but as matter Of fact,
the smartest and pleasantest country enter
tanning is done altogether outside the
county" strictly speaking, namely, by
rich people who live half the year in Lon
don, and who fill their country houses with
relayso London friends during the autumn
months. By these enterprising spirits the
"county''-at least that part of it which
lives in its ancestral mansions for nine or
ten months of the year-is voted dull and
prosy, and it is only admitted on stated oc-
casions when the London guests are apt to
look bored and to refer disrespectfully to
the local magnates behind their backs as
'the natives"
On the other hand the baronet's wife con-
fdes in the generals widow that "it is so
bad to see x house in the possession
of such fast set of people" the invita-
tions of the said fast people being neverthe-
less gratefully accepted whenever the op-
portunity presents itself.
