INSURGENTS WON A VICTORY

Different Account Of Late Battles Co mes
by Way of Key West.
KEY WEST, Fla, Dec. 6.-According
to advices which reach here from Ha-
vana, the Cubans once more have won
q notable victory over the Spaniards.
The battle was fought between Cana.
guey and Lac Villas. Generals Gomez
and Sanchez, with 5000 insurgents,
encountered Generals Suarez, Valdez
and Garriet, commanding $500 Span
iards. Three hours Of desperate fight
ing was waged. the Spaniards retiring
with a loss Of 200 killed and 300 wound
ed. Among the killed were several Of
fcers. Insurgents loss about half that
OF the Spaniards.
1t is asserted in Havana that the re-
port that Gomez and Maceo were
routed was ordered cabled to the United
States by Campos to prevent, if posi-
BILE, the recognition Of the insurgents
by congress-.

duced below $1,000 and about 5000 OF
that amount are represented in un-
threshed grain" The Press makes q
grievous mistake in the above. Lake
county sold only 5000 worth OF grain
on liens in the first place, and over two
thirds of that has been collected and the
balance is in a. tair way to being re-.
covered. Besides this information, Mr..
Press, permit US to add that in q
month up to the middle Of November,
Lake county people discharged LOO
ohattlel mortgages and that during the
months of October and November, 5000
more taxes had been received by the
county treasurer than In any three
months of former years. Oh, no, MIR.
Press, do not think that Lake county is
either poor pay or poor business. Look
at tho ~postoffice receipts for Madison
the past year-almost as great as any Of
the land office towns of the state, and to
crown all, carful enquiry Of those in q
position to know, discovers the fact that
nearly one-half Of the immense crop in
Lake county yet remains unsold.

NORTHWESTERN MILLING.

Output Il Expected to Decrease After
the Present Week Fair Sales.
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 6.-The flour
output at Minneapolis last week was
go, $40 barrels, against $50. 800 the week
before and 294 400 in 1894. At Superior
and Duluth ia, 125 barrels were ground
last week against III, 06O the week be-
Sore and Al, 800 in 1894.
With lake shipments possible up TO
the present time. there has been an in
centive to keep the mills going at full
capacity, and tie output Of flour is
likely to be quite heavy again this
week. Though flour was generally r.
garded as quiet last week, the total
sales were in the neighborhOod of 25O,.
600 barrels. Quite Il block went to
Chicago, and the scattering orders
booked assumed surprising proportions
in the aggregate. Eastern prices We're.
OF course, irregular and far from a basis
that would afford the miller much So
lace. While feed is Of slow sale and a
shade lower, Western trade is a trifie
better, and it is hoped that cold weather
will improve the market. Output in
the future will be expected to decrease
considerably, though the figures are
likely to hold high compared with last
December.
Super.or-Du Duluth operations this week
depend good deal upon how long
-four is taken by the boat; output will
decrease heavily soon as lake shipments
cease.A Flour, both domestic and for
eign, is weak. and sales last week were
not large. Feed prices are dull and
lower. Asking prices of flour and feed
are now based on across-lake rates
Some hope Is expressed among miller>
that the markets, thanks to trade from
winter wheat sections, will improve
earlier i'll 1886 than they did in 1895
which would make it possible for these
mills to run more generally in the
earlier months of the new year.

Mrs. Holmes win Have Custody of
Her Little Baby.
Little John C. Holmes, the little eleven
mouths-old baby, who was a prisoner
at the First precinct station house last
night. as exclusively told in to-day's Morn
ing Times, has been returned to the custody
OF his mother, without further official
inquiry.
The father complaiued that the mother
was not a proper person to have the custody
OF the child, as She was without means
to support herself and the little one, and
he filed petition to have the babe turned
over to the board OF childreu's guardians.
The mother remained at the station
house with the child last night.
This morning, before the case came up in
the police court, Assistant District Attor-
Jeffords received q note from R. Newton
Donaldson, counsel for Holmes, saying
that q physician had been consulted in
regard to the matter, and had stated that
the child was too young to be separated
from its mother. The letter asked that
the case be dismissed, and Mr.. Jeffords
accordingly nolle pressed it.
