CUBA'S INSURRECTION

Tackled BY THE REvOLUTIONIsTs.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Callejo's Prom

pressed by Spanish CcnsOrs.

HAVANA, May 15.-Important revela-
tions have just been made regarding the
action of General Calleja. who was Captain
general of Cuba, previous to the landing of
Marshal Martinez De Campos. 1t appears
that General Calleja. az the commencement
of the revolution, lamented the outbreak
and sent a telegraphic message to General
Capriles. who then Governor of Santi

on various persons TO remember their prom

board additional troops from Spain. had ar

The garrison lost one man killed. The loss
of the rebels is not known. The village of
Palestine, near Doscaminos, has been de-
stroyed by rebels, who set fire 10 it. The
rebels have also attacked several stores at
Tiarriba and burned them. They also made
an attempt to capture Doscaminos, but were
repulsed for the second time AT Teurto
the rebels burned several houses. Rodri-
guez one of the rebel leaders, has placed
himself at the head of twenty men who

Castillo. which, as announced in these dis
patches yesterday, was dispersed by the
Spanish troops.
railroad, which now runs between that place
and Manzanillo, will soon be commenced,
and it is expected that Bayamo and Hol-
guin Will eventually be Joined by rail, thus
giving a road right across the province of
Santiago de Cuba. The story that Maximo
Gomez recently made an attack on .Guai-
marc with force of 5000 cavalry is classed
by the Spanish authorities as being entirely
unture. The Spanish troops have Captured
the celebrated bandit, Juan Estrand. Milan

RICHMOND, Ind, May 15.-The attorneys

In accordance with this the letters testa-
mentary which has been issued to Elgar G..
Hibberd are taken away. His wife will
most likely be made the executrix of the
estate. with a bond that will exceed
100000. the largest ever given in Wayne
county.
The defense made application for new
trial. and were given 80 days in which to
file bill of exceptions.
The outcome of the case was the all
absorbing topic last night everywhere in
the city. Many people are asking what the
cost of the great trial has been but this
Information cannot be given out accurate
~ Tor some time. as all Of the costs have
not been ascertained. even by those who
have such matters in charge. The trial
lasted almost four months and a half. and
covered total of 13i days, of which 103
days were consumed by the actuaI prCceeu-
ings. The jurors were paid 81 per day for
each day of actual trial, which i'm the ag-
gregate, makes $2,472. OF the 81 per day
the county pays 20 cents and N.25 per day

be paid by the losing side. BESIDES the
VIZ, the jurors allowed cents per
mile each time they went to their homes
and this will cut no little figure in the costs
One juror has bill OF 100 miles, which
makes S3S. and the average will be about
SO for such expenses. The costs of the
judge, the court reporter, the sheriff and
the clerk will also be quite large, although
the exact amount at this time cannot be
given The cost of witnesses will be large
although IL is not probable that all OF them
will claim fees. The amount paid the attor-
neys has never been rightly given, and in
most cases the amounts stated to have been
paid the array of legal talent have most
probably been exaggerated. The plaintiffs,
OF course, have the heaviest expense of this
kind, the fee of General Harrison being, no
doubt, very large, possibly $1,000
