He is an honest, industrious old German

the State prefer, see him turned loose to

1t is in the power of the State to do either.
In this case, through much private cor

tlon and aid. 1t is only one of innumer-
able instances arising daily, and presents
the practical side of a much vexed ques-

Francisco Mengeres and Jesus Feliz
entered the saloon at 324 K street at 2
o'clock yesterday morning and ordered
drinks. After absorbing the liquid re-
freshments, Mengeres refused to produce
the necessary collateral, claiming that he
had already paid the barkeeper.
Taking umbrage at friend who in
formed him that he was mistaken, he
went on the warpath, struck his friend in
the face, and when Maurice Higgins, the
barkeeper, attempted to act the part of
peacemaker, he drew knife and chased
him around the saloon and out into the
street.
AS Higgins ran through the swinging
doors that lead to the open air Mengeres
flung clgar-lighter at him and broke an
SIS pane of glass in one of the doors. He
then followed Higgins, who was making
bee-line down X street at the top of his
speed.
After running a short distance the fran
tic Mexican was captured by Police Ser
geant Plunkett, who speedily put an end
to his fun and landed him in the CITY
Prison.
In the Police Court this morning Men
ceres was found guilty of battery and

HAVANA, Dec. 29.-In spite Of the
reports received here yesterday that
the main body of the insurgents had
retreated from the province or Mat
anzas and were once more in Santa
Clara, reports continue to come in Of
damage done at various points in Mat
anzas and of threatened movements of
bodies of insurgents. Whether these
are wandering and isolated bands can
not be estimated accurately. An en-
gagement with an insurgent band is
also reported today from the province
of Pinar del Rio the westernmost on
the island.
Uneasiness is also caused in official
circles by reports that come from San
tiago de Cuba, the Oriental province.
The report of Jose Maceo's flight
which was received here yesterday
seems to have been without founda-
of his activity in that province and the
troops stationed there are finding
abundant occupation. The Spanish au-
thorities have reason to suspect that
movement is contemplated in the Ori-
entail province to bring about juno
ton of the insurgent bands there and
troops are actively engaged in trying
to prevent the coming together of Jose
Maceo and Rabi, whose combined
forces would afford means for formid
able movement that would effect di-
version and prevent the withdrawal Of
Spanish troops to reinforce those act
ing against Gomez, Antonio Maceo and
Bandera in MatanZaS and Santa Clara
provinces. Nothing authentic is known
of the immediate whereabouts and do
ings of Gomez and his forces, who were
said to be threatening Cienfuegos.
Nothing has been heard from there
today, though several skirmishes are
said to have occurred in Santa Clara
province, with the result that fifteen
Insurgents were killed and nine taken
prisoners. The insurgents seem to be
still in considerable force in the neigh
borhood of Cardenas and C1marroneS.
The bands of Pancho and Perez, who
were said to be retreating, burned the
station at Burga and destroyed sew
eral houses at La Guinallas. They al
so plundered the stores at ContreraS.
The bands Of Lacrete and Roloff were
last evening discovered to be moving in
the immediate vicinity of Cardenas, just
east of Matanzas, and the news created
a great deal of excitement at that place,
as it was suspected that an attempt was
about to be made to capture the town
in pursuance of the earnest desire Of
the insurgents to hold a seaport. The
garrison was called to quarters in hot
haste and waited long in expectation Of
an attack, while the volunteer forces of
the business men of the place were also
put under arms, manifesting enthusi-
asm in the service. The band of Robau
was also reported to be moving upon
CinmaroneS.
The authorities here continue to claim
