The ante was So and the blind was
SO, the next man put in $40, the
stranger $40, which was followed by
$13O. They went on raising each
| other in the usual fashion, except that
the hundreds jumped rapidly into
thousands, while the breathless crowd
around them instinctively drew closer
with a sense that something was com.
ing.
At last 100000 was stacked up on
the table and the dealer and one Of
his confederates had dropped out.
The man who made the blind and the
stranger remained, looking into each
others faces, the former with flush
on his forehead, the latter pale and
cool, as if mapping at church. But
his eyes were very vigilant and he was
only waiting for the crucial moment
when the dealer would slip card to
his opponent.
Suddenly rising he drew long,
hideous looking knife, with curious
curved point, from his bosom, and
throwing his own hand on the table,
said serenely:
"Four kings and a ten take this
pot.
Then he seized the gambler by the
wrist and added: "Show your hand as
it is. If it contains six cards I shall
kill you"
The strangers voice was almost as
quiet as if he were speaking in a lady
parlor. But there was depth, a pur-
pose in it which the whole crowd felt
from head to foot.
As the cards from the gambler 8 sud
denly twisted wrist fell on the table,
they were seen to be four aces, a queen
and knave.
There was moment of deathlike
silence. Then roar like the breath
Of a prairie fire went up from the
crowd, which was composed chiefly Of
planters and honest travellers.
"Who the devil are you, anyway"
cried the baffled gambler when the
shouts subsidized.
"James Bowie" was the answer.
The voice was like velvet, but it cut
like steel into the hearts Of the chief
gamblers confederates and deferred
them from any purpose or impulse
they might have had to interfere
They, with the crowd, shrank bacl
from the table, smitten with sudder
terror by the name. Bowie softly
swept the bank notes into his large
slouch hat and lightly clapped it on
his head.

Abundant Proof of the Growing
strength OF the Revolt.
Havana, July 2s.-Before leaying Man
Zanillo for Cienfugoes Capt Gem Mar
tinez Campos pardoned all political and
war prisoners. The prisoners thus re-
leased include many under sentence TO
be shot according to military law. 9th
ers were condemned to Imprisonment in
an African colony. The captain general
has granted three months leave of alb
sence to Gen Salicedo, who will leave
shortly for Spain.
Havana, July 29.-It is asserted here
this afternoon that Antonio Maceo, at
the head of 5000 insurgents, is attacking
the town of Jiguan, near Bayamo. in the
province of Santiago de Cuba Gen. La
Chambre, with 1000 troops, has gone to
the relief of Jiguan. No further informa-
ton is obtainable at present.
The guerrilla forces of the Songo dis
trict and a detachment of men from Gu
ban regiments numbering 100, soldiers
have dispersed the insurgents near Songo,
province of Santiago de Cuba, the enemy
leaving two killed on the field.
Lieut. Talavera, in command at Baracoa,
hearing that the insurgents had burned
the village of Sabana, not far from
Baracoa, in order to force the garrison
to surrender, left Baracoa recently in
steamer, having on board 300 soldiers,
and landed at Mata Bay, under the pro-
lection of the cruiser Alsedo, which had
shelled the woods and other spots likely
TO shelter the insurgents. The troops
then started for Sabana and met and dis
persed the insurgents. who left eight men
killed upon the field. On the side of the
troops only four men were wounded.
The garrison of Sabana made heroic
defense and was many hours without
water. Lieut.. Talavera, fearing that
Baracoa might be attacked, re-amoarked
his troops having previously destroyed
the fort az Sabana.
Antonio Maceo. with 1000 insurgents,
recently attacked the fort at Bayara.
The garrison, consisting of forty men,
made a gallant resistance until they had
fred THEN last cartridges, after winch
the soldiers broke their weapons INTO
pieces so that they should not fan into
the hands of the insurgents for use.
II is rumored that a filibustering expe-
dition has landed at Cartunos.

Polar Fxpiorations.

London, July 29.-The session today or
the international geographical congress
was opened with a description of polar
explora tons Mr. Neumayer and Mr..
Joseph Hooker a survivor of the Arctic
expedition headed by Sir John Ross,
1928, urged that fresh expeditions be
equipped, and Or. Murray, leader or the
Challenge expedition, argued in support
of the theory that the Arctic continent
was succession OF volcanic islands. and
that investigation I'm the Antarctic ocean
ought TO be undertaken by the nations OF
the world and as a result of private en-
terprise 4 small committee was appoint
ed 10 draft a resolution in favor OF furth-
err explorations.
There was only a small attendance at
today's session. According to general
opinion, the paper read by Gen. A. w.
Greedy was too technical TO be popular.
Most of the interest of the day .centered
in a paper read by NJ. s. Andre. propcs-
ing a balloon route TO the north pole. The
idea seemed feasible, as propounded by
the explorer The only difficulty appeared
10 be how TO make sufficient gas for the
balloon. Then, again prominent geogra-
phists seemed TO think that the proposal
would fail without the use or boats and
much provisions TO rely upon in case of
accident. The general impression of the
congress, however was that the PROPOSE
ton lacked practical application.

Another Denver Bank Fails

Denver, July 29.-The Union National
bank, of which r. w. Woodbury. is presi-
dent was closed today. 1t will liquidate
and go out of business. The Union bank
was closed during the panic of 1898, but
subsequently resumed business. and later
consolidated with the State National,
which had also been closed during the
panic. 1t is said the depositors will lose
nothing and business will not be seriously
affected. The immediate cause of the
banks closing was loss of business. In
the published statement of J5-'y = the de-
posts were given at about $4,000. Since
then the deposits have dwindled to $685.
900. The banks loans and discounts, ac-
cording to the last statement, amounted
to LOSS, 494. 1t Will be possible to pay
% per cent. dividend to depostors from
the resources on hand inside of ninety
days, and according to the statement OF
the clearing house all depositors will be
paid in full without the necessity of MAX
ing an assessment upon the stockholders.
The banks capital is 100000. divided
among 400 persons. David Fl. Moffatt,
president of the First National bank, said
the closing of the Union National bank
would not have any bad effects.
