Reported Spaniards Have Been
Badly Whipped at Puerto
Principe.
Insurgent Soldiers to the Num-
Der of $4,000 Occupying
the City.
They Made Feint Of Retreat and
Drew Spaniards Into an
Ambuscade.

New YORK, Sept. ia special from
Havana under date of Aug. 30, says:
There is a report about town that
great battle has been fought in Puerto
Principe and that the Spanish have been
defeated and the capital captured by the
insurgent forces. 1t is said that
strong force of Spanish troops left the
city of Puerto Principe to make bold
attack upon the insurgents, who were
beseiging the town. The insurgents
fed after making weak resistance, but
it was only to
Draw the Spanish Into an Ambuscade.
Once in the trap the Spanish were at
tackled in the front by General Antonio
Maceo and in the rear by General
Gomez. The rebel forces obtained
complete victory and entered the capital
triumphant, $4,000 strong.
How near the truth this statement is
cannot be ascertained, but General
Campos' immediate departure for Neu-
vitas the very day he arrived here is
suggestive of something serious having
happened.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 1l.-Something is
wrong in the county jail. What it is

Harry Hayward, the once star Of the in

ernoon workmen arrived at the jail and
proceeded to make several alterations i'll
the abode of the distinguished prisoner.
The most notable thing IS to place lin.
ing Of sheet iron about the cell he occu-
pies, that he may be kept i'll absolute Sc
clusion. Why this change has been made
cannot be learned. The authorities
claim that there is no cause for
alarm, and that nothing has
transpired worthy of note. They
did give out, however, that of late
the prisoner has been decidedly sullky,
and for some time has dropped his cheer
full demeanor This is given as one OF
the reasons for the change-an indefinite
fear that something might happen un-
less great care was taken. 1t was limited
that he had communicated to another
prisoner that he would do something
deperate, and that it was told to the au-
thoIities, but there is no certainty that
such is fact.

kidnapping and subsequent escape OF
Freddie Pierce, the 11-year-old son OF
