headed steadily for the frontier of
the province of Havana, thus turn
ing the flank of the captain gen
eral, who, with the bulk Of the Span
iSh forces on the island of Cuba, is
, now to the rear of the i1lSurgent col
umns. The latter, moving much
more rapidly than the Spanish troops,
who are utterly unused to travelling
i'm this thickly wooded country, with
out regular roads and with the heavy
grass and low brush-wood to inter
fere with every movement, are not
thought likely to be able to catch up
with the quickly moving Cubans,
whose machetes clear a road for their
advance and who, much more famil-
lar with the country and accustomed
to the climate, easily distance the
Spanish soldiers, only recently
brought into the country. Gomez,
by a quick counter-march, has made
his appearance close to the town of
Jovellanes, well to the south of Colon
and commanding the railroads to Car
denes, Matanzas and Havana. This
splendid generalship was accom-
plished under the most trying cir
cumstances and in the face of over.
whelming numbers of Spanish troops
commanded by the best officers of
Spain. The insurgents were in two
columns, one to the south, under
Laceret and Suarez, numbering over
1000 men; another north, under An
tonic Maceo, numbering 5000 men,
and the center, the main body of the
insurg gents, numbering over 5000 men
under Gen. Gomez. In the center of
each column was the artillery, con-
sisting only Of two field pieces for
each column. Ahead of these three
columns was the vanguard OF the
insurgents, composed of 1000 men.
and commanded by Gen. Francisco
Perez.

uonal and very romantic events with
Miss Clara Dawson, with whom he has
been in love for long time. His sen
timents were reciprocated by the young
lady and they wished to get married.
The stern father, however, in the per-
son of S. r. Dawson, was opposed to
the match, and at one time went so
far as to incarcerate the young lady
in an asylum for the insane at Mount
Pleasant in order to remove her from
the path of young Scott, who followed
persistenty, faithfully and deter
minedly to the bitter end. That end
occurred today. This afternoon Walter

by Justice Silvani. After the cere-
mony Mr.. Scott, accompanied by Po-
lice Officer Duvalle, went to the resi-
dence OF the brides parents to get
some clothes belonging to her Mr..
Dawson refused to give up the clothes.
Scott and Officer Duvalle then turned
to go, when the .latter, glanc.ng be-

HAVANA IN DANGER.

The insurgents burned the railroad
station of Quintinia, east of Joval-
lanoS, and destroyed the railroads be-
hind them to prevent the advance of
the Spaniards in the rear. The last
news received this afternoon was that
they had passed Limonar, a small
town only a few miles from Matanzas,
and were pushing for the railroad
which conects MatanZas with Havana.
1t seems that there is nothing likely to
prevent them besieging Havana with
in the next few days, for the Spanish
commanders appear to have entirely
lost their heads. and unless Gen. Cam
pos accomplisheS. miracle of military
strategy in allowing Gomez and his
forces to slip by in order that the Span
ish troops may hurry after them, and
by a sortie from Havana catch them
between two fires, the insurgents are
masters of the situation. The odds
against the Spanish being able to
press on after the triumphant insur-
gent army are heavy. Not only have
the insurgents destroyed the railroads
behind them, but they have in many
ways done everything possible to i'm
pede the progress of the Spanish army,
and the friends of the insurgents here
are confident that the arrival Of Gomez
before Havana will be shortly an
nounced. AS it is, the insurgent cav
airy has been sighted within about
fifty miles of Havana. Railroad and
mail communication between Jovella-
nos, Colon and Matanzas are interrupt
ed, and it is believed to be only ques-
ton Of few hours when telegraphic
communication with Matanzas and the
east will be cut. Gen. Campos has or
dered the Spanish commanders nearest
to the insurgents to do everything pos
sble to attack the insurgents, under
any and all circumstances, but it is
not thought likely that these three
generals will be able to do what the
captain general has been unable 10
do.

Doubtful Report of Il Serious Dis
aSter to Maceo1s Army-Ha-
vana in Great Danger.

HAVANA, Dec. 24.-Shortly after
noon today the startling news was re-
ceived from Matanzas that Gen
Gomez, at the head of the insurgent
army, said to number about $4,000 OF
all arms and fairly we'll supplied with
artillery, had, by feint, turned the
flank of Capt. Gen. Martinez de Cam
pos, in command of the spanish
force attempting to stop the ad-
vance of the enemy on Havana, and
We're we'll to the westward of Colon
and threatening to pass Matanzas to
the southwark and strike directly
at Havana. The receipt of this news
caused the greatest excitement here
both in official and unofficial circles,
The insurgents, a little over twd
weeks ago, entered the province OF
Santa Clara from Puerto Principe,
and defeating Col. Seguera and a
Spanish column at Iguara, they made
a most wonderful advance through
the province, passing through the
flower of the Spanish army assent
bled there, said to number about 5000
men. After some sharp skirmishes,
in which the Spaniards were worsted.
Gen. Campos, who had made his head
quarters at Santa Clara, transferred
them to Cienfuegos, with the intens
ton of personally commanding the
troops which were to check the in
surgent advance. But, in spite of re-
ported repulses, the insurgents;
pressed onward, and, passing Place
tas, Santa Clara, San Juan de Las
yeres, RancuelO and ether towns,
pushed on for the frontier of Ma t
anzas. At one time it was reported
that they intended to attack Santa
Clara, but their tactics seemed to be
to psss all the big towns and press
on for Havana. 1t was only a few
days ago that the announcement was
made that the insurgents were at Las
Lajas and marching onward to Ha-
vana. Then came the news that the
insurgents had entered the province
of Matanzas at Palma Sala. Before
this, however, Gen. Campos had
changed his headquarters to Colon,
and commenced hurriedly to con-
centrate his forces there, intending
to compel Gen. Gomez to fight a
pitched battle before passing the
place.
IN THE REAR.
A day or so ago the insurgents
caused a scurry in Colon. Firing
was heard at Ajuica, about fifteen
miles from that place, and REIN
forcements We're sent to the front
from Colon, but this turned out to. be
little more than an outpost affair,
and while the Spanish troops were
pushing for the point the main body
of the enemy passed southwark of
Colon, near the line of railroad, and

Plans for Fort Karnival We're prac-
tically agreed upon yesterday at a
meeting of the executive committee
of the Winter Carnival association.
A committee of which Maj Wilkin-
son is the chairman will at once Sc
cure estimates and bids for the erec-
ton of the fort. 1t can be built in
about three weeks, and the inten-
ton is to make it a most pretentious-
looking structure. A block house of
the old frontier type will be con-
structed inside the fort proper, and
around this viii center the main as
sauIt of the Fire King, who will set
fire to it and burn it down on the
night of the last storming. With the
aid of the Indians it is proposed TO
make the storming and des ruction
more realistic and exciting than any
thing ever before seen in St. Paul.
AS will be seen from the cut here
with printed, there will be ample
accommodation for the defenders on
the walls of the fort, while the at
tacking forces will have full sweep
at the four sides; but the principal
or main entrance. Here it is that
Judge Flandrau and Capt. Van SAINT.
as BOrealis Rex and Lord Chancellor.
will engage the cohorts of William
Henry Eustis, marshaled by him
self and Lord Chamberlain Hugo. If
each side shall be once victorious a
council of peace will wind the car
nival up in a blaze of knightly friend
ship.
Fort Karnival Will be 600 feet long
by 800 feet wide, and the walls will
be 10 to II feet high at the lowest
point. To the left of the main en-
trance will be located the inclosure
for the Indian village, and this will
be of generous dimensions. Inside of
it will be the tepees and all the
aphernalia of the real plains In
dian. To the right of the main en-
trance, almost in the center of the
grounds, the block hou3e will stand
and during the progress of the car
nival it will be used as an admins
tration building. On the Fuller street
side of the grounds the t0boggan
and cOasting slides will be built. the
first-named running the entire length
of the inclosure. almost 200 yards
A restaurant will also be provided
where warm drinks and sandwiches
oysters, etc. can be had No intox-
icating liquors will be. allowed on
the grounds.
AT 3 o'clock on Saturday the execu-
tive committee will meet again to
pass on the estimates and make rec
concentrations for the board OF direct
ors to act on in apportioning funds
to the various committees. The board
will meet at 4 p. m. on the same
day to act on the report of the execu-
tive committee, and likewise to decide
whether evergreens or staff shall be
used in covering the walls Of the
fort. Many good Judges claim that
