THE SPANISH ACCOUNT.
Cuban Insurgents Are said to Have
Been Defeated.

Been Defeated.
Havana, Dec. "a. - Official advices
from Colon Of the engagement with
the insurgents convey the impression
that they were of much Importance.
Gen. Navarro. who was reported as
leaving Colon for the relief of the
Spanish forces, encountered the In
surgents at the plantation Espana,
where his coming served to rescue the
detachment Of Antilla. He followed
the insurgents upon their retreat and
overlook them at the plantation Ajava,
the cane field Of which was burning.
Here a fierce fight occurred and the
insurgents were dispersed with heavy
loss. The number of soldiers killed
was seventeen. Gen: Navarro again
went in pursuit and at Banaguizs the
insurgents attacked him with great
impetuositN The troops made u brave
defense. Gen. Pratt made a forced
march to cut off the retreat of the in
surgents. The Dieromen battalion I'M
der Gen. Asturias, with artillery, has
attacked Gomez and a force of 1000
insurgents. The troops made the at
tack with the bayonet eight times, and
this, combined with the artillery fire,
swept the insurgents position, proved
effective and the rebels fled before the
advance OF the troops. The insurg-
ents left twenty-five killed and prison
ers on the field and seventy wounded.
The official reports from the front
state that the force now invading
Matanzas number 5000 and that they
have carried away many of their dead
and wounded. The loss of troops is
stated to be insignificant.

STRIKE
Traction Company Repudiates It's
Agreement,

ASTcc1ncUl.
Philadelphia. Dec. 24.-The strike on
the Union Traction lines. which was
declared off by the labor leaders upon
a proposition sent to them by Mayor
Warwick. on the authority Of the trac-
ton officials, represented by Thomas
Dolan, through Rev. Dr.. Barker and
George Griffiths, a committee Of the
Christian league, was, later, when the
men reported for duty, declared on
again, and is apparently as hard and
fast as ever. There was obviously a
misunderstanding or a mistake in the
Interpretation of the propositions sub
mittcd to the strikers on one side or
the other.
At the West Philadelphia station of
the Market street line a email army Of
mel are confined. They We're brought
here from Boston and other New Eng
land cities to take the places of the
strikers. Soon after their arrival one
man became dissatisfied and left. 10
the strikers he said that all the men
would leave but that they We're prac-
tically prisoners. They claim they
were led to believe they were to open
a new trolley line here, and upon
learning the truth, became disguised
and wanted to leave but We're not per-
mitted. The Boston man declared he
had to fight his way through n crowd
of Traction employees to reach the
door. The strikers aver that they will
take legal action to secure the mems
release.

drawals for export to-day would ap-
proxlmate 100000, and possibly
more, created something Of a sensa-
ton among treasury officials. At
about noon Assistant Secretary Curtis
had a conversation with New York
parties over the long distance tele-
phone, and ut it's conclusion hurr1edly
left the department for the White
House, where the cabinet was In SEES
sion. He was shown into the presl-
dents room, where he was Joined IN
mediately by Secretary Carlisle. The
substance of Mr.. Curtis information
was laid before the president and the
cabinet. What measures, If any, Will
be taken ut once by the government
to aliHy the panicky situation is prob
lcmatical. but there now seems to be
Ito reasonable dobt that in case of con-
tinued large Withdrawals of gold, even
for another week, the president will
send Il message to congress urging the
gravity of the situation AS a reason OF
immediate and favorable action on the
recommendation already made that
the secretary of the treasury issue
more bonds to preserve the integrity
of the gold reserve. In the absence
of prompt legislation in this direction,
it is not doubted that another bond
issue under the same authority as the
preceding ones will be Announced. The
present situation is not regarded ma
terially different from those which
have preceded other issues, nor are the
conditions regarded us any more ia
vorable for a speedy termination OF
the outflow of gold. Already the re-

Passed by the Senate.
Washington, Dec. 22.-By a unanl-

bill appropriating 100000 for the ex-
penses of the Venezuelan commission

Good manner. Homemade.

Children must be taught what the
parents wish them to know. Teach
them truthfulness and gentle ways
and they will be true and gentle. If a
boy hears bad language from his
father he will repeat it just as GER
tainly as he has a tongue in his mouth;
and if a little girl hears her mother
gossip, she will gossip the moment
she meets u playmate. People who
devour their food like cattle must not
expect their children to have nice
table manners. Gentlemen and good
women are homemade. There is moth
ing on earth for which one ought to
be more thankful than for having been
brought up in the atmosphere Of a
pure home. Such a home may be de-
ficient in material comforts. A man
as sturdy as an oak once said: II was
the son Of poor parents, and from my
youth up was Injured to self-denial and
hardships, but 1 do not remember ever

Chattanooga, Tenn. Dec. "a. - The
saddest scenes ever witnessed in this
state was enacted at the little mining
city of Dayton yesterday. In sixteen
households the cres Of despairing
widows and helpless orphan children,
the heart-broken grief of mothers,
relatives and friends disturbed the
peaceful quiet of the Sabbath as the
sixteen mangled corpses, victims of
the mine disaster, fathers, brothers
and kinsmen, were carried to their
final resting place in the little ceme-
terry. Brief religious ceremonies were
held at each of the stricken homes of
the unfortunate men, and at 2 O'clock
the last body was laid to rest. The
work of rescuing the six men whose
bodies are still buried beneath the
debris of the cavern of slate and
earth was stopped last night by the
accumulation of gas.

Eattenins Fowls.

Fowls fatten more rapidly in close
confinement kept by themselves in
coops Or pens, and so darkened that
they cannot see anything which might
attract their attention and II them
to worry aud excite themselves, says
an exchange. Fattening should not be
attempted until the birds have attain
ed their full growth; in fact. it is i'm
possible to do this beforehand, al
though all properly digested food is
never lost. 1t is not we'll to fatten
fowls on corn alone. as they would be
pretty certain to suffer. from indiges-
ton. While this grain should form the
principal food. they should be supplied
with a variety of anything they will
eat. clover and all kinds Of green food
being particularly desirable. The more
the appetite is tempted the more
quickly the fattening process will go
IN. For %fattening, the pullets are the
best taken before they begin to lay,
and the cockerels just as their tails be-
gin to turn.

Aatitoxin Treatment for DiDhthefaa.
In the face Of the distrust and OPP
position with which the attempt to
extend the use Of a%ntitoxin in the
treatment of diphtheria has been met
in certain influential quarters 1t Is
gratifying to read the summary OF re-
suits, so far as obtained by the new
treatment, from the pen of DR.. WEIGH,
professor of pathology in the Johns
Hopkins university. Statistics have
been carefully collected from all parts
Of the world, and the reduction IN
mortality in diphtheria by serum
treatment is brought out in a very
striking manner. Perhaps the best
testimony to the efficacy of the new
system is furnished by the experience
Of Baginsky and others, who record
the results obtained during an invol-
untary pause in the serum treatment
caused by failure in the supply of Sc
rum. Thus Baginsky states that be
tween March, 1894, and March, 1895,
525 children were treated with anti
toxin, with a fatality of 1876 per cent.
During the period when the supply of
serum was exhausted, 126 children
were treated without antitoXin, with a
fatality of 4S.4 per cent. Similarly,
Korte noted a rise in fatality from
1873 per cent, when 10 serum was pro-
durable, and during a epidemic of
%diphtheria at Trieste the fatality rose
from 81 per cent to so per cent when
the supply of serum failed. A Ger
man medical journal has instituted a
collective investigation Of all the
cases of diphtheria treated with Sc
rum. Such statistics. owuld prove of
inestimable value in assisting the
formation of a correct official judg-
ment Of the therapeutic value Of anti
toxin. In the meantime, DR.. WEIGH
states tiiat the study, so far, Of the
results of the treatment Of over 1000
cases of diphtheria by antitoxin dem
onstrates beyond all reasonable doubt,
that anti%-diptheretic serum is a spe-
cific curative agent for diphtheria, sur
passing the efficacy of all other known
methods of treatment for the disease,
while the essential harmlessness of
the serum has been demonstrated by
over 100, 900 injections.

Preparing the Cream for C~hurnins.
Most good butter makers prefer the
cream to become slightly acid before
churnirg, but the acid should not be
carried too far, for if it is the yield
of butter will not be as great. as the
acid will consume to a certain extent,
the oil or butter portion of the cream.
The cream should be churned at a
temperature of So to co degrees in the
summer and at 90 to 62 degrees in the
winter. When milk is set in shallow
pans and allowed to stand t%hirty-six
to forty-eight hours at a temperature
not varying but little from ~ degrees
the cream will perhaps be very near
the proper condition and temperature
for churning. when removed or skim

the cold, decp-setting or Swedish
method, it's temperature is, Of course,
not the proper n for churning, and
unless sweet e butter is prefer

the proper degree of acidity has been
developed.-Denver Field and Farm.
