THE BATTLE NEAR JOVIATO
Spaniards Said to Have Met Overwhelming
Defeat
Cuban Loss Is Reported to Have Been 700.
1any Of the Spanish Troops Said
to Be Sick and Dying

TAMPA, Fla, May 19.-The Plant
steamship Cuba tonight brings reports of
an engagement on the 18th near Joviato.
The Spanish papers say 2000 Cubans at
tackled the city. The Cubans are said to
have opened general fire from three
sides on the SpaniarGs, who retreated,
sending eighty men to another station
for reinforcements. When these arrived
the Cubans withdrew.
The Cuban loss is placed ct 700. The
Spanish lost twelve soldiers, one priest,
DR.. Ruitz, the physician, and Lieutenant
Colonel Joaquin Bosch.
The Cubans deny the story, saying that
Major Robles, second chief of the Span
ish column, has asked to be decorated
with the cross of San Fernando. To de-
serve this decoration, by army laws, one
must fight against triple his focre, sust-
ain the battle for n number of hours and
lose at least two-thirds of his force in
killed and wounded. Therefore the Span
ish loss, according to Robles' claim,
must necessarily be great.
A passenger arriving states that the
Spanish troops are sick and dying. Cam
pos has called for more troops. Campos
saw Havana merchants regarding the
issue of paper money similar TO the last
revolution issue, but the merchants refuse

A PRESBYTERIAN CONGRESS
The Delegates Passed Quiet Sunday in
Pittsburg
Sermons Delivered in All the Chnrches-Dr.
Russell Booth Welcomed by
Large Audience

PITTSBURG. May 19.-Pittsburg Pres
byterians boast especially of their ortho-
dox Presby yterianism, and claim that the
smoky atmosphere has had no effect in
obscuring the clearness of their Calvinls-
tic vision. But it is many day since
the place was taken possession of so COM
pletely as today by the forces of that
denomination. Churches of all sorts ard
varieties opened their doors and pulpits,
and it took long column OF small type
to set forth all of the appointments made
and accepted by the divines of the Pres
byterian general assembly. The great
est interest, however, was felt in the SER
mon of the moderator. DIR. Russell Booth.
who preached as usual in the church
where the assembly sits. lie was greeted
by large audience. His text was taken
from the gospel of John, 12:32-'If l be
lifted from the earth, | will draw all men
unto me-"
His subject was the vicarious and atom
ing death of Christ, and the sermon was
clear and powerful. If any of the audi
ence hoped for any utterances on ques-
tions in hot debate, they were disap
pointed, as the only thing that could be
construed into such an Interpretation was
the emphatic statement that ''as against
intidelity, orthodoxy now has its in.
nings."
Parts of two days have now been devot-
ed by the Presbyterian general assembly
to the discussion of the subject of assem-.
bly, control of theological seminaries. To-
morrow the matter vii. be resumed with
vigor. This far all attempts to limit de-
bate have been called down overwhelm-
inglv. but word has gone forth that
decision must be reached by O'Clock
Monday afternoon. Many, however,
doubt the ability of the leaders to put
this programme through. The attitude
of the liberals favors postponement, in
the expectation that if the report of the
committee conference with the semina-
ries is thoroughly accorded it will be
weakened and lose votes every day. AL
ready the time occupied is so long that
the commissioners are reminded of the
endless discussion in the Briggs and
Smith cases. The result promises to be
that the cause of the missionary board of
the church will be pushed aside and that
external questions will usurp place
which does not belong to them.
The Pacific coast is here again with a
pressing invitation to the assembly to
meet in 1896 in Seattle. DR.. Alexander
Allison and Elder W. R. Ballard, from
the First church of Seattle, are engaged
in canvassing open and informal senti-
ments in favor of their city. They prom

FIGHT WITH THE NATIVES
A Surveying Party Meets Resistance
in Mexico
Natives and Troops Have an Engagement and
the Natives Were Routed With
Heavy Losses

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, May ia special
from El Paso, Tex. says: Information
has been received here of bloody revolt
which took place in settlement between
Guadalupe .Calgva and Varvagama, in the
state of Chihuahua, Mexico, few days
ago. The trouble began when the natives
living IN the district attacked surveying
party under Captain Morrison and killed
twenty of the party. The affair was re-
ported to the commander of the Mexican
troops at Parrat, who Immediately
started detachment of 100 men to the
scene. Last Wednesday the troops were
assaulted by the natives and the troops
retreated leaving half of their dead and
wounded on the battle field.
The appointment of the american, Nor
rison, to survey government land which
is now occupied by native farmers
caused the trouble. Morrison was to re-
ceive certain portion of the land for
his work. The natives number about
200O men. living in the district, which is
surrounded by mountains. Troops have
been ordered from Chh uahua to quell
the revolt. Morrison escaped.

acres having been reserved for school
land purposes, but Governor Renfrew
gave out word today that he will imme-

fact will help hundreds of the people

the federation are a number of women's

Strange Judicial Proceedings Taken by an
Indiana Judge

ANDERSON. Ind, May ia scene

acted here today. judge of the circuit
court, aided by the court stenographer,
took down the statements of a dying wo-
man under the influence Of hy ypnotism.
Should the Judge accept the statements as
true, they will cut great figure in a
murder mystery. George Hires was sem
fenced by Judge Ellison to thirteen years
in the penitentiary on conviction Of the
murder of William Foust, July Sth, last.
The principal witness against him was
Maggie Bottom. After the trial she con-
fessed that her testimony was false and
that she herself had done the deed.
DR.. j. b. Callen, who claims to have
hypnotic power, was granted permission
to place the woman in the hypnotic state
to ascertain which of her statements was
the correct one. Today Judge Ellison,
the official court stenographer, and DR..

Bottom is said to be on her deathbed
from consumption and in the presence of
witnesses soon had the woman in the
hypnotic state. Mrs. Bottom spoke in
loud, clear tone, though heretofore on
account of her weakness, she was scarcely
able to whisper. Mrs. Bottom seeemed
to live again in the night of the crime
and in forcible manner she recounted the
details of the crime. Mrs. Bottom said
the shot that killed Foust was fired by
Hires. Her confession that she had
done the deed was extorted from her by
Hires, who said the authorities suspected

member anything of what she had just

but he declined to state what effect it
