DEATH OF MARTI.
A War Correspondent Tells
How lie Was Killed.


New Nork, July 11.-Wood-
ward, the Cuban war corr es-
pondent, arrived today on the
steamer Ardandhu, from Glib
ara, apparently none the worse
for his trying experiences in
Cuba. Woodward, after many
weeks of hardship. managed
to reach Gibara. He proceed
ed Immediately to the United
States chonsnlar agency, where
he met Jose n. Beola, a Span
lard, who was not only a Unit
ed States consular agent, but
an officer in the Spanish army.
Beola, Woodland assert, treated
him in q most discourteous
manner, and he was compelled
to seek the protection of the
British flag aboard the tramp
steamer Ardandhu and through
the kindnee of Captain Walker
managed to reach home alive.
Beola. Woodward says, refused
to recognize him as an Amer
lean citizen.
Woodward tells the following
story Of the death of General
Marti of the Cuban army:
While Marti, with about 200
Cubans, was accommodating Ia
the vicinity of Gibara, he fell
in with a force ofSpanish troops
numbering nearly 1000 men,
who were draw up on the banks
OF a small river. The insug-
gents scouts were about to
retreat when Marti oadeFed a
charge. The Spaniards were
taken by surprise and soon
formed. 8 square. General Mapti,
mounted on a large gray stall

Spanish square, breaking down
their ranks. The horse became

eorded twenty eight deaths in
Santiago, while there is an.aver-
age of five deaths daily, ct
Puerto Principe, a city of aboat
$4,000 people. There are about
200 cases in the military hos
pital at Puerto Rico and the.
disease is rapidly increasing.
The report from Santiago,
says the. death rate is increas-
ing at an alarming rate. The.
same state of affairs is indicat-
ed by the report from Puerto.
Principe. Ffe military hospital
at the latter place IS crowded
and the disease is of the most
malignant type. This place is
near the, center of the Island Of
Cuba which would indicate that
the disease is virulent aud cpl
.demie;; it is rapidly making its,
way toward Ffavannas and the.
western end Of the island.
The news from San Juan

The report from this place is,
dated June 1 and comes from
the United States consul. He.
says that no record Of tAe cases
is published bnt that he gets
his information from reputable,

new impetus in the disease to,
tie presence there Of Spanish
troops and adds
"While the military barracks,

produce an epidemic. There
are three hundred or more cases

disease seems to be increasing.

AUSTIN LETTER.
No License Allowed for the.
Corbett-Fitz Contest.
Other Items:


Austin Texas, July II, 1895.
Comptroller Wat Finley has
the tax collector at
Dallas not to issue a license
for the proposed pugilistic en-
counter between Corbett and
Fitzsimmons at Dallas, "as the |
same is manifestly unlawful
and has been so expressly de
clared by the people of Texas
through their legislature" Just
what effect this is going to have
on the proposed fight is not
apparent, but certain it is there
is a strong effort being made to
prevent Ii.
The prize fighters wanting
license under the old law was
deep laid scheme that Comp
troller Finley knocked clean
ont. They are evidently ex-
pecting legal proceeding to en-
join the fight and, had Comp
troller Finley recognized the
license law and issued the
license it would have been pull
ed on the officers and possibly
STAYED them off until the fight
was finished. Without the
license they can offer no excuse
for the officers delaying the
execution of the process placed
in their hands. 1t is the belief
here that the fighters are Ger
tain to be enjoined about the.
time they are ready to step,
into the arena. One thing is
certain, that Dallas fight is not
going to have smooth and plain
sailing.
As yet no appofntmet has
been made to fill the vacancy
in the Brigadier General rank
Of the state guard made vacant
by promotion of General Open
heimer to be Major General vice
A. L. Roberts resigned. Report
has it that the race is between
Col. Andy Faulkner and Col. |
Cooke, with chances believed
to be favorable for the first
named. Either one of the gen
tlemen would satisfy the mil
itary boys.
The state printing board will
meet next Monday and pass
upon the question whether or
not state printing can be done
outside of the state. There
has been considerable agitation
over the matter, especially
among Texas printers and print
ing houses. From expressions
made by members Of the print
ing board they will decide that
they have the authority to in
sert in the contract = provision
requiring ali work to be done
in the state. This has been the
custom for years and it will not
