BURNING OF SAN
GERONIMO.
Brave Stand Made By Spanish
Troops Against Insurgents.

Havana, June 20-Further In
quiries made here by the repre-
sentative Of the Associated
Press show there is no truth in
the story of the capture of the
American yacht Nepethne by q
Spanish war vessel and the i'm
prisonment of those on board.
The facts about the raid and
the burning of San Geronimo,
news Of which was cabled on
Wednesday to the Associated
Press, as they are learned in de
tail are found to be of import
ance. San Geronimo is the
most flourishing village in the
! provinces Of Puerto Principe.
About > o'clock IN the evening
Maxine Gomez appeared near
San Geronimo at the head Of
1900 men. He sent to the com
mander of the village, saying
he must surrender or run the
risk of being killed. The Span
ish commander, Fieut. Labor
do, tore the note to pieces, re-
plying: Tell him to come at
once and do what lie pleases;
that Spaniard will never sur
render"
Throughout the night those
men waited to be attacked. The
families of the citizens aware of
Gomez presence in the neigh
borhood, left the town seeking
shelter in the Guajamal Hacien
da, at a distance of three miles.
Meantime rain Was falling in
torrents. The insurgents allow
ed the women and children Of
the citizens to pass out Of the
city, but held the men inside.
At sunrise Gomez ordered the
mayor Of the town to tell the
spa lish commander that he had
the town surrounded and that
he must surrender Immediately.
Afterward the mayor returned,
saying. "Under no circum-
stances will he surrender"
Gomez gave an order for 500
cavalry to dismount and attack
the place. At the same time
they advanced toward the town
and ordered the prisoners to set
fire to the nearest houses. Go
mez was heard to say: "That
officer is brave: he will not sur
render in spite Of shooting ana
fire" lie then commanded that
the whole town should be burn
ed. The fire increased rapidly
throughout the town and the
garrison and quarters were soon
burning. The troops kept fir
ing until suffocated by the
smoke, when the mayor lifted
a white flag and the insurgent
ougle gave the signal to stop
firing. Lieut.. Laborado with
fifty soldiers came out and
agreeing with Gomez as to the
terms of the surrender deliver
ed their arms and ammunition.
The Marquis Of Santa Lucia
aud Maxine Gomez embraced
Lieut.. Laborado, saying to him:
You can shout Viva Espana,
because you are a worthy de
fender Of her"
The officers and soldiers with
tears in their eyes revealed in
their faces the anguish they felt

HENDERsoN.-There is a good deal
of building going on in the town of
Henderson, and quite a number of
buildings are also in contemplation.
Henderson is getting to be pref
ty town. Recently a number of
plank sidewalks have been put
down on the main streets of the
town.
Henderson has two good paying
factories, Morris Furniture Factory
and the Barton Boiler Works.
There is nota negro family living
in our town, and it is not likely
there ever will be as no property
owner in Henderson will either
rent to or sell negro property.
Darst's Landing is being put in
good condition, and a number of
coal fleets are now moored at this
landing.
Fry's landing is also in the best
of condition, and the owners are
making preparation to do a big
business, this winter.
The two landings alone are of
sufficient capacity to hold all the
boats that may be in the Kanawha
pool, when the locks are completed.

wArERLoo.-W. T. jenkins, a
former sident of this neighbor-
hood, left about three years since
for San Francisco, Cal. There he
embarked as a sailor and sailed
around Cape Horn to New York
the first trip, thence to London and
other foreign ports. After his re-
turn to the United States he en-
listed In the United States Navy,
and sailed on the steamship San
Francisco to Joppa, and being with
in about sixty miles of Jerusalem,
and l presume he visited that
ancient city. After this he sailed
to one of the ports of China, where
he now is. What an opening for
Mason county boys there is?
J. W. Smith and wife are happy
over the arrival of girl at their
home.
We are credibly informed that
there is a great deal of lawlessness
at Lock 10.
While we give the Register cred
it as working incesently for the
public good, and building up home
enterprise, and also appreciate It's
appeal for curtall OF expenses, re-
duction of taxation, etc, still we
must denounce a bonded indebted
ness, that is odious to all, except the
money lenders. If the State would
lend the money to the county, so
the interest would help pay the ex-
penses of the State and thus reduce
taxation, then we would not be so
much opposed to county bonds.
While giving the Register due cred
it we-must say that it begins at the
wrong end. Just go the Court
House and stay day or two, and
see how things are run there, and
then you will see where to begin to
Tighten the burden. County officials
say that the last term of court
ought to be a lesson TO Taxpayers
