Report of Insurgent Victory

NEW YORK, Sept. l0.-A special
to the World from Havana, under
date of Aug. 30, says: There is a
report about town that a great bat.
tie has been fought at Puerto Prin-
cipe, and that the Spanish army
has been defeated. 1t Is said that
a strong force Of Spanish troops
left the city o. Puerto Principe to
make a bold attack upon the in
surgents who were besieging the
town. The insurgents fled after
making a weak resistance, but 1t
was only to draw the Spanish into
an ambuscade. Once In the trap
the Spanish were attacked in the
front by Gen. Antonio Maceo and
in the rear by Gen. Gomez. The
rebel forces obtained q complete
victory and entered the capital tri-
umphantly. How near the truth
this statement is cannot be told.
Gen. Csmpos made his departure
for Neuvitas the third day after b e
arrived here.

DENVER, Col, Sept. 9.-After
being bound in $4,000 and his case
remanded to Philadelphia, Fred,
Wentz, bank clerk in the employ
Of the National Bank of Commerce

This offer was accepted by the girl,
her brother and the court officials,
and the ceremony was performed
yesterday afternoon in the office Of
the United States District attorney.
After the ceremony, the partici-
pants went to fashionable resi-
dence for entertainment. The case

All eyes are on the champion
yachts of the two great maratime
powers of the world to-day. Which
of them will carry the pennant can
only be stated when the course is
sailed. Uncle Sam has held the
trophy for four and forty years, but
If his English cousin takes this
race those years Of triumph will be
forgotten by the British and there
will be crack in the empy-ean
where their hurrahs go through.
Fortunately there are no bloody
scalps sought for on this watery
field of hammered endeavor, and II
the British win, the defeat will be
taken in good part and better LUCK
invoked for the next trial. Nc
matter who wins, this Is not the
last of the International yacht
races.

Yacht Race Weather.

New YORK, Sept. 10.-The World
received the following from local
Forecaster Dunn to-day:
UNITED STATES WEATHER b.
REAU, Sept. 9.-The weather con-
ditions for to morrow will be gov
erned by an area of high pressure,
which is now passing off the Allan
tic to the east. This will probably
give shore winds, mostly from a
southerly quarter, with a fresh
breeze. The wind Is not likely to
be any less than it was in the pre-
vious race and probably a trifie
stronger, with fair weather, except
that there may be light fog
though hardly sufficient, however,
to interfere with good view of the
race. The conditions altogether
appear to be more promising for a
good race and more pleasurable
10 the sight-seers. There will be
very slight change in temperature.
n any, it will be a trifie cooler to-
lay. (Signed) E. B. DUNN.

Wholesale Charge on Letter Carriers.

Wholesale Charge on Letter Carriers.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. TO-
Twenty-Five mail carriers connected
with the postoffice Of this city were
cited to show causes why they
should not be removed, suspended
or reprimanded. Each of the men
yesterday received q letter from
Washington in which the nature
of his offense was set forth and the
men all required to make an ans
wer within one week from date.
This is all the result of a secret in
vestigation by the government,
which has been going on in several
cities for some time back. 1t was
known in postal circles that this
Investigation vas in progress, but
the number OF men implicated
here was a general surprise to
Postmaster Horth. The men who
are in trouble will allege that there
are political reasons for the charges
and there promises to be lively
fight here.

This is the week in which those
who are in earnest about having a
stock exhibit and poultry show
and good series of sporting events
in connection Herewith, can show
their earnestness by their works.
There is no sense in rushing into
the expenses entailed in engineer
ing such events without the finan-
cial wherewithal to make all
promises good. Money is needed
and without the money there will
he no fair. The new management
called for has materialized and
now let the funds materialize and
the business is done. Put UP the
money and the people who exhibit
will do the rest.

SEATTLE, Sept. 9.-Advices from
Alaska by steamer Willapa state
that the Chilkoot and Chilkat In
dams engaged in free fight near
Dyes recently, during which two In
dams were shot dead and a squaw
was badly wounded. The cause of
the bloody affair was whiskey, and
it Is feared more bloodshed will
follow owing to the lawfess and

Watterson will not support the
Democratic nominees for National
office. He cannot consistently
jump the fence into:the Republican

woods he will go to Europe.
It may have been said once or
twice ere this, but it will bear re-
peating; there is good money to be

SAND INSTEAD OF CEMENT

/
this city was first seriously enter
tanned, and there was prospect o
. the work being speedily under
: taken, the LIGHT pointed out the
danger TO the futurehealth of this
! city, in case the work was not
! properly done. 1t was contended
.. then, and it is asserted now, that
the improper sewering of this city,
. leaving sewer gas to escape aud
sewer exhalations to permeate the
ground all over the city, would be
infinitely worse, in so far as the
health of the people is concerned,
than to leave the city without
sewers. This fact cannot be too
strongly asserted, nor too FREE
quently brought to the notice of
the city council, particularly as it
