HOW CUBANS FIGHT.
II Is said That All Their Attacks Are
Made From ambush.

New York. May 21.-A special to
the World from Havana says: The en-
gagemcut at ,Iovito affords "A good eX-
ample of the methods of fighting which
the Cuban insurgents have adopted.
The combined bands of Periquito,
Perez, Miro. Bonnie, Cartagena and
Carzon lay IN ambush IL the woods,
and suddenly attacked Lieutcnant-Colo-
mel Boch. on the march, with IA part of
his regiment the Fighting Siman-
acs " Boch, the surgeon and another
officer at the head of the column fell at
the first fire Then the Spanish soldiers
under Major Robes orders, got under
cover, and firing was kept mp all day.
The insurgents did not disclose them
selves but shot from shelter, whenever
they could see the suggestion OF sol
der. The position chosen by General
Maceo was strong, and he was able to
place his vastly superior force III Sc
cure cover. If General Maceo had as
many followers rs We're with him two
days previously, he had certainly 1000
men. The Spanish authorities assert
that he actually had 5000. The por-
ton of the Simanacs regiment with
Northumberland Boch, the same au
thorities say, number only 400. After
desultory firing had continued the en-
tire day detachment of volunteer cal
vary, formed i'll Guatanamo by Major
Garringo, made a vigorous attack on
the insurgents, striking them on the
flank. This disconnected General Ma
ceo's men. The Cubans seem unable
to meet a sudden change III the situa-
ton. Major Garringo drove IA squad
of insurgents from their sheltered po-
sition, infictng considerable loss.
The number of killed is uncertain.
A Spanish regiment from Porto Rico,
which has just arrived at Santiago, was
dispatched III haste to Guantanamo.
Maceo's force, it is said, is probably
charging its base. The loss of Lieu
tenant Colonel Boch is unfortunate for
the Spaniards.

ROBBER OUT OF SIGHT.
The klamath Falls and Ager Stage Was
again Held Up.

Ashland, Or, May 20.-The stage
from Ager to Klamath Falls was rob-
bed again last night. The stage left
the railroad at Ager at o'clock yester-
day afternoon. Ed Walters was driver
and two passengers, John Wells, a
prominent and wealthy Klamath stock
man and Populist county commissioner
of Klamath county, and Emanuel Cora
a merchant bound home to Picard, Cal.
About 10 o'clock, as the team settled
down to a slow pull up the narrow
Topsy grade, six miles long, the COM
mand came from ambush beside the
road for the driver to hold up and
throw out the express box and letter
pouches. The driver and passengers
were then ordered to dismount. Wells
was told to cut open the Therapeutics
and while he was slashing away at
Uncle Sans property with a pocket
knife, the other passengers were order
ed by the robbers to break open a box
supposed to contain Wells-Fargo' S
treasures. The highwayman objected,
however, to the merchant making SO
babe the driver take an AK from the
stage and make neater job of it with
less noise. This work completed, the
passengers and driver took off their
coats, at the request of the robber, who
was still 'Out of sight" and left the
contents of their pockets with the other
booty. Little was obtained from them,
h.
and driver were then permitted to get
aboard the stage again and move on.
1t is not known yet that anything
was secured from the express box or
letters The robbery was within few
hundred feet of a similar robbery
hardly a month ago, and there is little
doubt that it was executed by the same
lone highwayman. 1t was carried out
in almost the same manner, the robber
giving his orders from his ambush and
was not seen by the driver or passen-
gers, though his presence close at hand
was as firmly impressed upon them as
if he stood at the horses heads and
covered them with his gun.
A more favorable place for a stage
robbery could hardly be selected. 1t
was at the foot of the Topsy grade and
for several miles either way there is no
human habitation. Eastward Topsy
station is at the summit of the grade,
six miles away, while westward there
are few houses nearer than Shovel
creek, almost ten miles back. Heavy
timber, rocky ravines and mountain
wilds surround the place in every di-
rection and make it possible for rob
Der to easily make his escape before the
officers could be notified.

YALE AND HARVARD.
The Crimson Must Retract Before the
Two Colleges Meet

New Haven, Conn, May 2O.-Har-
ward is to be asked to apologize to Yale.
Captain ThOrne, of the Yale team, has
sent Il letter to Harvard asking for a
retraction of the statements said to
have emanated from some Harvard
players and cOachers last year, concern
ing the alleged brutality of ex-Captain
that he sent the letter under advice of
cOachers and prominent Yale alumni.
He says that the letter was of general
nature, simply declaring Yale's posi-
ton, but making the statement that
Yale cannot play unless there is a re-
traction. The general body Of Yale
undergraduates are surprised beyond
measure that such a letter has been
written, although Captain Thorne pos
sesses the unqualified support and SYM
pathy of the university, as no Yale
captain has in years.
Walter Camp, the well-known coach,
was interviewed by a reporter last
night. He said that he had no hand
III influencing the Yale management TO
take this stand. He did not care to be
quoted in the matter. He said that he
had handed i'll his resignation as a
member of the athletic advisory COM
mittee to Captain Thorne, and would
not in the future take an active inter
est in athletics Mr. Camp stated that
his reason of health and business were
the sole causes for his action.

A DIvISlBLE LAND GRANT,
Secretary Smith viii Await the Deci'
sion of the Supreme Court.

Washington, May 21.-An important
decision has been rendered by Secretary
Smith in regard to the land grant to
the Burlington x Missouri River rail
road, now part of the Chicago, Bur
lington q Quincy. In decision by
the supreme court of the United States
1t was held that the grant to this com
pany was Invisible; that Is, that a GER
tain amount of land was granted on
each side of the road, and that it was
not authorized to increase the quantity
en- one side to make up deficiency ON
the other. An adjustment of the COM
pany's grant III 1888 showed that it
had received POI, 10l acres to the north
of its line in excess of the amount
granted, and demand was made for
the reconveyance of the land. The com
pany refused to comply and suit is
now pending to compel it to do SO.
The amount of land patented to tie
company south of the road is admitted
to be less than it is entitled r., and
lands still exist south of the road that
might be patented. Certain OF these
southern tracts, it is alleged, have al
ready been sold by the company, and 1t
is DESTROYS of securing patents for them,
and offers to surrender an equal
amount north of the road if these are
patented to ii.
The law expressly forbids the patent
ing of lands to any company which al
ready has more than it has been grant
ed, and the secretary declines to patent
any further lands to the company until
the suit i'll the supreme court to COM
pei REIMBURSEMENT of the excess to the
north Is decided. Innocent purchasers
under the railroad will be otherwise
protected.

Its Affairs.

the Bona SNnulCate BUSY ~ettiihE Up

New York, May 20.-The Wall Street
News Agency says: Evidences point
TO "A cleaning up process having been
begun by the bond syndicate. The re-
cent return to members of 40 per cent
of their subscription money was the
first step in this direction. 1t is uncer-
tain when the balance will be returned,
but some think it will be in a short
time. The calling from the syndicate
members of extra gold is another step
i'll the same direction. There is au-
thority for the statement that the prog
ress of events in the desired direction
has been a good deal faster than the
syndicate expected or even hoped would
be the case. The development of for
eign investment on a large scale, SO
noticeable last month, has practically
assured the country against any large
demand for gold for many months to
come. Most of the syndicates' prepare
tions We're made against this danger.

say: The severe cold snap, with extern
sive frosts, and i'll some states snow.
has fortunately done little damage to
the great crops, though much to fruit,
but has considerably retarded retaiL
trade.
The best news of the week is the ad-
vance of 10 per cent in wages in the
Carnegie works, followed by the Jones
q Laughlin establishment and evil
IDENTIFY implying similar advance by
many other concerns. The Illinois
Steel Company is starting it's furnaces
without granting the demands of the
employees No advance has been found
practicable III woollen markets. condi-
tions as to prices and foreign cOmpeti-
ton are very different and about 10, 600
are still idle at Olneyville, where the
works should consume 900, 900 pounds
per week. In other departments of
labor, troubles are not serious and the
demand for manufactured products in
creases.
With material and steady enlarge
ment in domestic trade, there is still
great want of employment in the inter
Tor, for the money which comes hither,
50, 500, 600 during the past week, and
the millions distributed by the syndi-
cate on the bond account, stimulates
speculation. Accordingly, wheat has
risen cents, although reports of in
jury by frost do not appear upon sift-
ing to concern any considerable proporEA
ton of the growing grain. WesterE
receipts for the two weeks of May have
been 2,917, 200 bushels, against 2,6O0,-
600 bushels last year, and Atlantic ex-
ports 3,059, 900 bushels, against 1865, a
900 last year, being reduced by the ADJ
vance in price less than would be ex-
pected, because of generally current re-
ports of decrease in acreage. With
only six weeks of the crop year left,
stocks in sight constitute a heavy sur
plus, although not as some Western
statisticians estimate.
Corn has advanced only one-half
cent, being apparently injured more
than wheat, but the acreage gives
promise of a yield of 1000, 900, 900
bushels. Cotton is one-eighth cent
stronger. Wool has been remarkably
heavier for the past week at the three
chief markets, 5, $50, $50 pounds chang
ing hands, and for two weeks of May
IL, 059, 750 pounds, against 1857, 100
in the same week of 1892, the last year
of full demand. In that year the sales
of domestic were 5,962, 900, and this
year 1851, $50 pounds. Bessemer iron
has risen to $11.40 at Pittsburg, with
gray forge to $9.65. Finished producH
are in lagre demand, but as yet not
enough larger to cause any general adj
vance and proposals of combinations IN
merchant steel, structural iron, cast a,
pipe, wire rods and cut nails, with the
existing combination in steel rails,
show the market does not rise Of its
self.
Failures during the week past have
been 211 in the United States against
219 last year, and 81 in Canada,
against 26 last year.
