CUBAN WAR NEWS.
Reports of Encounters which Favor the
spaniards.-ship Load OF Arms Seized.

Dispatches from the scene Of war In
Cuba are very conflicting. II only
seems reasonable that the Spaniards
having control of most of the news
sources should color information to
suit themselves. Here are some Of the
latest dispatches:
Havana: Gen. Navarro engaged the
insurgents near Cobre and routed them
with slight loss. The coffee plantations
of Nuevo Songo and Magdalena lave
been burned by the insurgents. At
Invista Hermosa 500 insurgents at
tackled Maj. Arminian with 100 men
and after an hours fighting were
forced to retire with loss Of - killed
and 40 wounded. The Spaniards lost
four killed and nine wounded.
New York: A specia. from Havana
says every body knows that some great
battle have been fought lately some
where on the island, but particulars
of them are kept from the public.
There are rumors that Spanish coll
umn of over 1000 men, presumably
commanded by Gen. Suarez Valdes,
was defeated by force of insurgents
near the border between Puerto Prin-
cipe and Santiago province. Gen.

either wounded or taken prisoner.
There has been severe fighting also
between the towns of Sibanicu, Cas-
zorro and Guaimaro. All three places
were burned to the ground by the in
surgents.
New York: After test of dynamite
balloons which was claimed to be very
successful, the New York Cuban Libre
club have placed in the hands of the
manufacturers large order of bal
looms and rockets with a full compli-
ment of dynamite cartridges to be
ready for shipment July rs. The brig
Pearl, used in the transportation OF
sugar between New York and Cuban,
and South American ports, has been
seized by u. 5. officers at Brooklyn,
for having taken on board large
amount of arms and ammunition tor
Cuban ports.

FIlibustering Vessel Captured.

Upon oath of VIM. Lynch, seaman,
that the tug George w. Childs had
been engaged in landing men, arms
and ammunition for the rebel army in
Cuba, Collector Brown, of jackson
vile, Fla, ordered the tug to be de-
tanned. A revenue cutter gave chase
and fired a blank and loaded cart
ridge, which caused the Childs to
heave to, and the cutter returned to

not having passenger list for party

REVIEW OF TRADE.

Dun's says; The weeks news is not entirely
encouraging, but is all the more natural be-
cause there are signs OF midsummer duliness.
Wheat prospects are not quite so good. but still
there are lower prices, as corn and cotton are
both down. The exports OF gold ana the less
favorable treasury returns for July are not
unexpected aud mean nothing as to coming
business. There Is a perceptlble decrease in
the demand Tor most manufactured products
ana the actual distribution TO consumers nat
urally lessons in midsummer. Much OF the
recent buying was to anticipate rise in prices
and such purchases fall on when prices have
risen. There are still numerous advances in
wages, but strikes grow more numerous and
important British accounts do not indicate
any anxiety about cotton, while efforts are re-
ported by some OF the American mills to sell
part OF the stock taken recently which may ex-
coed their needs for the year. Cotton mills
continue to ENJOY large business, but some
striSes OF considerable Importance are threat
ened or are in progress. Wool advanced per

The strike OF several thousand miners in the

quences. Producers of non Bessemer ore have
sold largely for the future at prices so low that
they cannot add TO cost OF production and other
mines in the northwest may be affected.

where fire has ravaged. The strange
lights in triangle may no longer be
mysterious and puzzling to astronom-
ers, while the black dots and dashes on
the white polar caps of the planet may
be deciphered. Railroads, water-works
ships and whole cities existing on the
surface of Mars may come out under
this huge telescope, the glass of which
has just been photographed in the
workshop of Mr.. Clark.
The latter, by the way, is the great
est builder of astronomical lenses the
world has ever seen. 1t was he who
made the Lick lens. and the Clarks
have been the foremost makers of as
Economical glasses for two generations.
They have witnessed the steady growth
of glasses to their present enormous
size.
Alyan E. Clark, aided by his father,
constructed the 5-inch rejecting tele-
scope which showed the satellites of
Jupiter and the rings of Saturn. Then
followed in succession from their work
shops at Cambridge the 12-inch for the
Vienna University, the 12h-inch foy
Morrison, the 1914 for Wisconsin, the
16 for Warren Observatory, the Is for
the Northwestern University, the 20
for Denver, the % for Princeton, the
26 for Virginia with one of like size
for the Naval Observatory, the 80 for
Russia and the 36-inch for the Lick
telescope.
All of these have now been eclipsed
by the 40-inch lens for the Yerkes
telescope. Even this may not reach the
limit, for Mr.. Clark believes that il
can be expected If any millionaire will
be liberal enough to give the order
And ii requires a very rich man to

The lens of the Yerkes telescope, now
at Cambridge, when the glass came
from Paris in the rough, and before a
stroke Of work had been done upon il
to fashion 1t into its present delicate
and beautiful shape, cost $4,000.
Probably the grinding and polishing
OF the lens, which have been going on
for two years, cost as much again,
while several hundred thousand dollars
were required to furnish the grounds
and buildings for the new observatory

A Brave Engineers Nerve.

As the Montreal express on the
Adirondack x ST. Lawrence railroad
rounded a curve on a heavy down
grade near Utica, n. Y, the engineer.
VIM. Brassel, saw 500 feet in front of
him a trestle, n quarter of "a mile
long, enveloped in flames. Brassel
says he was SO frightened his hair
stood on end, but he saw it was impos-
sible to stop the train, so he opened
the throttle to it's widest and the train
rushed sway.ng through the flames,
and stopped safe on the other side of
the structure. Before it came to a
standstill the burning trestle fell in a
heap of ruins on the rocks so feet be-
low. There were 75 passengers on the
train.

THE FIEND INCARNATE.
Eight Murders are Now Laid at the Door
of H. H. Holmes.

The more thoroughly the detectives
investigate the record of ii. III. Holmes,
the tiend who is now in prison at
Philadelphia, the more blackened his
hands become with the blood of his
innocent victims. In addition TO al
most positive proof that he murdered
u. I. Pietzel, at Philadelphia, to Sc
cure insurance on his life, and Pietzel's
two little girls at Toronto, to be rid of
two heirs of Pietzel's property, it is
scarcely doubted that he killed Pet
zefs boy at Detroit for the same rea-
son. The detectives clai N that Holmes
also murdered Minnie and Ina Will
Jams, of Forth Worth, Texas, at Chi
cago, TO secure possession of their
property. And now IL is thought that
he also removed" Mrs. |. l.. Connor
and her IL year old girl, of Davenport,
Ia, at Chicago, after he had caused
her husband To obtain divorce from
her. The reason given by the officers
Tor the last two crimes is that Holmes
feared that they knew too much for
his comfort. Thus, 20 recapitulate,
there are now eight murders credited
to Holmes as follows: Pietzel i'm Phila-
delphia; Julia Connor and her daugh-
ter; Minnie X. and Ina Williams, in
Chicago; Alice and Nellie Pietzel in
Toronto, and little Howard Pietzel,
possibly in Detroit.

hugest telescope glass over made
which Alvan e. Clark has been working
on Tor more than year at Cambridge.
Mass, for the Yerkes telescope, is COM
pleted and will soon be shipped to its
destination. The big telescope at the
Naval Observatory had been unable to
bring out the signal lights of Mars. as
the telescopes before that time had
rallied to note the satellites, and the
Yerkes telescope will be so much big
ger than the Lick, now the largest in
the world, that astronomers are con-
ndent astonishing discoveries may be
made as soon as ii is set up.
Who knows but that looking through
the great 40-inch glass of this huge
instrument, astronomers will be ena-
bled to make out definitely the system
OF signals which the Martians are be-
lieved to be using in an effort to COM
municate with the inhabitants of
Earth? Even the great canal system
of Mars, as is now suspected by more
than one, may turn out to be a gigantic
semaphore.

canals fill up with water and irrigate

crops. as Flammarion has witnessed,

process of cultivation, here noting
