That Rattle At Yalenznala.

TAMPA, Fla, July 29.-Passengers ar irving by the Plant steamship from Cuba state that in the battle at Valenzuela Campos' force numbered l, 600 and the in- surgents, 2,500. By the vigilance of the Spanish advance pickets the Spanish troops were not led into the Cuban stronghold. but sheered off into plain, where tho forces met. The insurgents killed all the Spanish horses in order to capture what provisions, arms and ammunition they bore and to cut off Campos' escape.
 Two mounted pickets arriving, they gave their mounts to Campos and a com- panion, who reached Bayamo at ? o'clock in the morning. The insurgent losses were between 80 and 100, while the Spanish loss is said to have been more than 700.
 In this engagement Lala Penitez had 200 men under his command, of which but 29 survived. General Maxine Gomez'S S headquarters are now at Najasa, which is of easy reach to a number of principal cit ies. Colonel Afrabel, commanding 600 men, hovers between Puerto Principe and Nuevitas, intercepting all provisions and live stock. He also tears up the rails and otherwise destroys the railroad.
 It is saiu that the Spaniards in Havana desire Campos to institute reign of ter TOT by slaughtering Cubans indiscrimi- nately.
 About the 20th inst. small bill was cir culated ill Havana urging that in the re- view of the 24th, which was the queens birthday, the proper action would be to visit the Cubans, and get Sanguilly, Aguirre and Gomez, put a rope around their necks and drag them through the streets. The United States cruiser Atlan- ta, arriving there on the morning of the 24th, caused a suspension of the outrage.
 The review did not occur. Manuel San gully, now in New York, received a let ter from his imprisoned brother advising him of the contemplated move and Man uel Sanguilly at once notified the secre- tary of state. The departure of the Atlan- tn from Key West immediately followed. When the Atlanta returned to Key West, she was placed in quarantine. Campos is expected ill Havana today or Tuesday.

THE ESCAPE.
A Chivalric Tale of a Bold and Ingenious
 Knight.

Knight.
 CHAPTERI Fondly the Knight of the Silver Shield loved the fair and noble Lady Gwendo- line, and she as fondly returned his love. She returned it because it was so nice to have him give it back to her, as he always did
 My own" he murmured, clasping her to his bosom.
 "Here, too," she whispered as shl coyly nestled her flaxen head upon thG stove lid cuirass he wore over his manly chest, partly for protection and partly for revenue only.
 CHAPTER II.
 But the old duke, the Lady Gwendo. lines father. was opposed to the match. He had asked the knight to take off his silver shield 'and substitute a gold one, and the knight had refused with scorn and contumely.
 The knight still owed for the silver shield, and he did not care to mortgage his immortal soul for a change "Do as command, sternly ordered the old duke, ''or never be son-in law of mine.
 "Well, I don't think" hissed the Knight between his set of teeth, and the strike was on.
 CHAPTER III.
 The Knight of the Silver Shield had told the Lady Gwendoline all He could not tell her more or he would have done so gladly. so much ho loved her.
 "I will flee," she bravely said. I,o they packed small kit of wedding things
 In half an hour they were flying from the gray and grim old castle.
 CHAPTER W.
 And fast before the old duke then.
 Three hours they'd fled together,
 And if he'd caught them III the glen
 He would have mopped the heather
 up with the knight.
 The old duke hard behind them hied.
 Should he their steps discover,
 Then what could cheer tho bonny bride
 When he had slugged her loVer2
 But still, as wildly blew the wind
 And as the night grew drearcr,
 The duke was coming up behind,
 His pulling sounded nearer.
 CnAPTERV.
 A great thought came to the Knight of the Silver Shield.
 Sweet one" he said softly, stacking his speed, "wait but little. I will come again. "
 Waiting for you," she whispered, "were such sweet sorrow that I would wait until tomorrow.
 It was then II :55 p. m., and the knight, kissing the fair lady's hand, hurried back over the way which they had come. CHAPTER VI. "Savedr" he exclaimed, returning to her side and once more moving swiftly forward.
 "But papa?" she asked, with anxious eagerness.
 "Knocked out ill the first round, :" laughed the Knight of the Silver Shield in loud, triumphant tones II filled the road with tacks, and the old man $ tire is punctured so that he has to lay up for repairs. y My hero!' murmured the fair Lady Gwendoline, gazing fondly on him as they flew along the glistening turnpike. CHAPTER VII. Two bikes with but single thought, Two lovers safely carried Into the haven which they sought, And so they married.

 TO REVIVE GAMBLING.
A New Clubhouse to Be Opened on the Out.
 skirts of Saratoga.

ALBANY, July 29.-It is probable that the restrictions against gambling now in force in Saratoga will be abrogated the first part of next week, and that those per sons who go to this summer resort for the purpose of gambling will again patronize the hotels, the proprietors of which are complaining bitterly of the closing of the clubhouse. In this city an interested party to the arrangement to have fashionable gambling at the springs said to a reporter:
 |" A number of moneyed gentlemen who have made the clubhouse at Saratoga their headquarters for a number of years Sun- day visited the old Hilton mansion, which is just on the outskirts of the village and beyond the control of the police commits sioners. It is about decided to take this property and convert it into q clubhouse where those who desire to stake their money upon games of chance may do so. It will be distinctively club, and no Saratogan will be allowed within its doors and no person not q member"
 It is believed that all the old patrons of the springs who have refrained from visit ing it this season because of the strict en- forcement of the law will be drawn back there by this move. The now clubhouse will be fitted up in the most gorgeous man. her.
