However, They Effected Retreat
in Good Order.

HAVANA. Oct. 29.-According to Of
fetal advices a large force of insur-
gents has met with a check while at
tempting to pass from the province of
Santa Clara into the province of
Matanzas. The details of the affair as
given out here are that 1000 insurgents
under Lacret marriott and his Heuten-
ants Nunez and Rdban. have been try
ing for some time past to force their
way into MatanZas. They were met
partly on that territory and partly in
the province of Santa Clara by a de-
tachment of 1000 Spanish troops COM
manded by General Suraez Valdes.
During the fight which followed the
insurgents made great efforts to drive
back the troops and pass into Matanzas
but the troops succeeded in barring
their way and compelling them to re-
treat.
General Prats, who had been in
formed of the retreat of the insurgents,
pushed forward with reinforcements
from Colon to assist General Valdes in
pursuing the enemy and for the pur-
pose Of stationing troops at places
where it was apprehended the insur-
gents might attempt to pass. The loss
sustained by either side is not known.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct ga Taco.
ma dispatch to the Chronicle says that
ex-City Treasurer Boggs who held Of
flee from 1890 to 1894 is an embezzler to
the extent of $109,O5O and that the sher-
if is on the road to Jacksonville, Ore,
to arrest him.
The recent bank failures here have
disclosed the fact that Boggs. while
treasurer, deposited a large sum of city
warrants in the banks. receiving credit
as cash. The warrants so deposited are
supposed to aggregate $212, 900. The
German-American and Columbia ma
tional banks have brought suit to have
their accounts with the city offset with
warrants. claiming them to be illegal,
because issued in excess of legal indebt-
edness
The city's deposits in these banks ag-
gregate $4,000 and if their contention
is upheld it is claimed the city would
lose this amount as it would be morally
bound to validate and pay these war
rants.
Put on Trial.
These facts have led to a. close inves-
LEGATION of BOggs' alleged warrant
transactions by the city officials and
prosecuting attorney with the result
that it was decided Saturday to Put
him on trial. Just how the sum of
100000. the alleged stolen amount is
arrived at, cannot be told as the Off
Gals win not talk unit the arrest is
made
When the banks were failing in 1895
Boggs redeemed all the warrants when
issued with cash out of the regular or
der, with the object of upholding the
city's credit In this manner he accu-
mulated a large quantity Of warrants
which were deposited in four or five
banks as cash just before ne went out
Of office. Most of them were resold in
the east.
In September. 1894. he was arrested
on a similar charge to the present one
and acquitted. the evidence beine.
chiefly documentary. and some of that
offered was ruled out. Boggs has Keen
at Jacksonville developing a gold mine
situated thirty-six miles across the
California line. He has recently sold
the mne, and trends say he will receive
$4,000 between now and January I. It
is believed he will come back without
assistance

tain himself, did wilfully neglect to do

half of the guardians. He said the cir
cumstances of the case were rather pc
cuiiar. The defendant was an inmate of
St Pancras workhouse and was able in
part to maintain himself.
The prisoner, who IS blind and very
feeble, made d motion of dissent.
Mr.. Kendall Moore: lie is pensioner
and has means on August 30 he asked
leave from the workhouse for the purpose
OF drawing his pension. He was allowed
out and he promised to bring his money
back to the worlhouse- Hickey, it was
thought, might contribute something
from his pension money toward his sup
port. He drew $S5; but instead of bring
ing any of that sum back TO the work
house he put the whole of it into the
Postofiice Savings bank On his return
TO the Workhouse he declined to allow
any of the money 10 be taken out for
his support and The guardians had no
power to touch it.
Mr.. Horace Smith: l see by letter the
defendant has handed me that he is one
of the Six Hundred who charged at Bala-
clava.
The letter was as follows:
NO. l ward, ST, Pancras Infirmary-

will, but through instructions received in
all that L have done. L am leaving the
intirmary very shortly and shall require

ruffled him. He believes that Senator

This is a HUMOROUS year. in Park

banner, and on it is an inscription to
the effect that Republicanism protects

There are those who predict heavy
vote against statehood in Summit

The people who favor the removal Of
the county seat are not letting the grass
grow under their feet.
If the present fine weather continues.
Park City will poll the largest vote
ever known in her history.
Democrats who were seen today are
perfectly willing that the Four-Ringed
Circus should come again.

The territorial taxes in 1871 amounted
TO $lSf. 51621 OF this the school tax was
S29S. 77615 The tax for territorial ex-
lenses was S19S.7i005. Therefore, to carry
on the territorial government of Utah in
1924 cost the people only $l9S, 1905
The taxes for 1895 viii be no greater
athan in 1884, but in 1896 we are to have
statehood. and the people should carefully
consider what statehood viii cost them
and how much their taxes will be in

The esteemed Tribune had a scoop
yesterday.
Early in the afternoon one of its re-
po11ers came to the desk in the city
editors room and was given his in
structions in sepulchral whisper. He
went out, treading carefully in the ball
of his foot SO that he might not make
any noise. Ee went stealthily down
the stairs and, glancing up and down
the street, entered the Tribune job Of
fee.
He approached the foreman with an
air of secrecy and whispered some
fthing in his ear. The foreman went to
: the press and in moment the bright
young man was in possession of a
coveted scoop.
The story appeared yesterday under
the heading Fight Against State

being sent out from the rooms Of the
Utah commission and presumably
formed part of a Democratic" at
tempt to defeat statehood. The num-
Der of circulars being sent out was
