OPEN PORTS.
Mexico's Concessions to Cuban Pat
riots.


NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Secretary
Gonzales Quesada who has been in
Mexico City almost a fortnight, in con-
ference with President Diaz, in rela-
ton to establishing open ports for the
Cuban navy and coaling stations,
writes that all his plans have been
successful so far. He says the first
vessel to take advantage of Mexico's
concessions to the Cuban patriots will
be a British craft fitted out with an
armament to enable it to cope in
Cuban waters with any Spanish war
ship now cruising there. 1t was built
in the United States not long ago at
cost of $3.50, 600 for the West Indian
trade and for transatlantic business,
and has been running between New
York and Cuba.
1T lies in the river Thames at Lon
don and has been out of commission
about six months. Its armament is
now in warehouse in Tampico ha1'bor,
consists of two heavy guns, two rapid
firing guns, one Calling gun, one
Maxim, six torpedo tubes and 1000
stand of small arms and cutlasses.
Above the water line it has been sup
piled with ten-inch armor plates.
Five Hundred Crew.
"The vessel was bought about
month ago by an English syndicate
which has spent 800, 600 in fitting it up
as a cruiser and commerce destroyer
The crew will consist of 500 men under
the captain who commanded it while
in the Cuban trade. In letters re-
ceived at Cuban headquarters in this
city he writes that he will not need
pilots. 1t will have five officers who
have served in various navies of
Europe.
An exceptionally large amount of
provisions will be carried.
Part of the agreement with the Eng
lish syndicate was that General Maceo
should supply $4,000 to help pay for
its equipment.
1t is said it will carry to Cuba on its
first trip, an immense quantity of arms
bought in France. Germany and Eng
land Before leaving for the City of
Mexico Quesada exhibited letters from
President Diaz granting protection to
the Cuban vessel and agreeing to sup
ply it with coal and provisions. 1t
will also be protected while taking on
it's armament.
Struggled Plans.
Plans for the expedition were taken
to Cuba by DR.. Donald A. Dodge, a
young New York physician. DR.. Dodge
was arrested as a spy in Santiago.
One of the sailors, a Cuban at heart
conveyed secret messages to him from
friends outside and delivered to them
MESSAGES from the doctor.
The papers describing the plan,
which he had succeeded in secreting
from the prison officials, were con-
veyed through this guard to repre-
sentatives of the Cuban cause in Santi-
ago. and by them sent to General An
tonic Maceo, who was asked to for

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The reports
of the last engagement in Cuba, which
are received from insurgent sources in
this city, differ materially from the re-
ports sent from Havana, where a press
censorship is maintained. on Monday
President Palma received a letter from
General Antonio Maceo, describing the
victory which he and his brother, Cen
eral Jose Maceo, achieved over the
Spanish forces in the Pass of Santa
Maria. Today President Palma re-
ceived a long letter from General Car
los Roloff. which described a spirited
engagement near Los Pasitos. which
is within hailing distance of Los VIII
las.
The letter, which is dated Los Villas,
September 6, says:
On the 9Th l found myself in camp
near the plantation Of Pogo Azul, with
forces under the command of General
Joaquin Castillo and Pedro Diaz, which
Included the celebrated 'Caic Infan-
try regiment under Jose Rafael Ze-
men. He told me it would be compare
lively easy to capture the forces of
Defaguasco, by surprising them. L
placed under Zegen picked cavalrymen,
with whom he attacked the Spanish
fort. He was stoutly resisted, how
ever and had ITO retreat. l reinforced
him with the Cayo regiment, led by
Captain Esquira and Sirra and later
on by our entire troop of cavalry. We
advanced against them, and after
many engagements, lasting until the
9th. Lieutenant Pomoras, who COM
manded the fort, unconditionally sur
rendered. We left him his sword and
captured twenty of the civil guard
with considerable stores of arms, am
rnunition and provisions.
In this enga cement we had six men
killed and twelve wounded, the Span
ish loss being heavy.
On the 18th we made junction with
General Zerafnische, at Los Pasitos,
where we were at orce attacked by a
Spanish column, which we repulsed.
The enemy retreated and took his po-
sition in a strongly fortified house
We stormed it repeatedly, but heard
that reinforcements for the enemy was
coming We met this reinforcement and
at this date are keeping up running
fire. We are forcing the enemy to re-
treat along the road to Hantaspiritus.
President Palma anxiously awaits
further news of this engagement. If
the Cubans succeed in gaining strong
foothold in Santa Spiritus, they will
come into possession of a straSetio
point of great advantage.

WASHINGTON, Sept 25.-Commission-

his annual report to the secretary of the
interior. 1t shows progress in nearly all
directions. The only new important de-

this matter Commissioner Browning en-
closes a former special report he made

AT least zoos persons passed through
the front doors and into the brilliantly
lighted hall during the evening. This
is a conservative estimate, as half that
number of Democratic badges were
sold, and not more than half of those
who came and went invested in these

WATCHING THIEVES.
Fisher Gang Giving the Officers Much
Trouble.

DENVER, Sept. ga special to the
Republican from Glenwood Springs,
Colo, says: The Gordon of officers
watching the hill on which the Fisher
gang of cattle thieves are fortified are
still unable to effect their arrest. The
hill is covered with thick growth Of
brush and also has two or three caves
in which refuge can be had The des-
peradoes from their position can see
every movement for miles around.
Sheriff Crumley and his posse, which
has been strengthened by a crowd of
stockmen from Carbonate and vicin-
ity. had determined on campaign Of
waiting, depending on starving the
men out This has suddenly been
changed, however, it having been dis
covered that the men have secured
help in the shape Of food and clothing
probobly from ranchers in fear of the
outlaws vengeance. The latter are
said to have threatened to burn sew
eral of the farms in the vicinity and
most Of the ranchers are sitting up
each night
Old man Fisher. father of the des-
peradoes, has told the officers to kill
his sons rather than capture them
He says they are ba dot, but none
of his kin have ever been in the peni-
tertiary. and rather than see them go
there he would like the officers to
shoot them. Since the discovery that
they can stand a siege all winter, an
other effort to effect their capture has
been decided upon. Sheriff Ware. Mar
shall Murray and another strong possee
will go from here to join Sheriff Crum-
ley. a number of -cattlemen from Gyp-
sum are also bound for the scene and
an army of officers numbering over 100
men will climb the hill from all sides.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25.-The de-
partment of the superior court in which
Theodore Durrant is on trial for the
murder of Blanche Lamont was a
scene of excitement this morning. The
announcement by the district attorney
that 1.-The people rest" and the subse-
quent statement of the attorneys for
the defense that they would be ready
to proceed today, drew to the city hall
a large crowd which could not secure
admittance to a room ten times the
size of the apartment set apart for the
trial The fact that the defense, in
its opening statement, would reveal for
the first time the nature of the evil
dence relied upon for an acquittal
served to arouse public interest to
degree never before seen in California
at a trial of a man for his life. The
hot sultry day was intensified in the
crowded court room, packed with la
dies and prominent persons.
Cool as a Ccumber.
Although the occasion was of the
greatest Importance to Durrant he was

idea Of the amount of work that is
being done by the two committees.
In the southeast corner of the rotun

by members of the ladies' committee.
Near it was the postoffice, where all
kinds of encouraging missives were re-
ceived, and further. on was the tent
where Maize read the palms Of all
who presented themselves. In the
northeast corner was the lunch counter
and cigar stand.
The WOman's Room.
But the prettiest place of all, and
the busiest during the evening, was
the ladies' room, from which the ex-
ecutive committee sent out the young
ladies who were selling the badges and
buttons. Over this was hung the
white canopy. Inside were pretty
tables, chairs and settees, a pretty
japanese screen and flowers and

P.nkerton agency passed through this
city.
He had just come from San Francisco
and is familiar with the whole proceed
ings in the Durrant matter. When
pressed by a friend for a tip on the sur

show to the court a letter which is
bound to establish his Innocence, of the
crime with which he is charged. This
letter was written by Blanche Lamont

could be no doubt but that the letter was
written by Miss Lamont later than

The young ladies did yoeman service
for the cause. Every man who came
in was presented with the alternative
of buying a badge or absolutely refus-
ing. Even Republicans like Gus
Holmes, Richard Macintosh, Colonel
Squires, Frank Knox and James B.
Bloor, could not refuse, and Richard
Macintosh was seen wearing his bit
of red on his expansive chest, as he
wandered around through the corri-
dor. No change was given. Men who
handed out quarters or half dollars
found that the law of supply
and demand was invoked and the de-
mand for cash equalled the supply.
The whole supply of 900 badges,
which had been considered an eX-
travagant amount, was sold before
the evening was over and a very
handsome profit was realized. The
