General MaceO, the Cuban Rebel.
in a Tight Place
ARRIVAL Of THE INSURGENT
Landing of the General and His Band
at Barac0ba
Much Dissatisfaction Said to Exist Over the
Condition Of Affairs on the Island.
The Latect Advices

GIBARA, Cuba April 10. Your cor
respondent has just arrived from the
town OF Baracoba, which awoke OH April
10th to find it had gained prominence by
the landing of Maceo and his party. The
town has again subsidized into it's usual
tranquility excepting that $50 govern
ment soldiers arrived from Guantanamo
on April 18th and those were followed
few days later by 200 more who came
overland from Santiago.
The soldiers are guarding the different
Notifications and entrances to the town
both day and night. Besides that men
patrol the streets at nj ,ht, and hence any
effort on the part of the insurgents to en-
ter or capture the town would be an i'm.
possibility unles, perhaps they were in
very large numbers.
The party that landed on the first have
doubtless found it somewhat unpleasant
around he an ha' @ evidently sought
more conge....i quarters. The few that
left the town on the first to join those
that landed are mostly mulattoes. 1t is
said they are not many miles from Bar
acoba and are DESTROYS of returning to
their homes. but fear imprisonment.
Last night of cial kilograms were re-
ceived from Guantanamo stating that the
regulars and insurgents had exchanged a
few shots which resulted in the killing OF
Alor Crombet and another insurgent and
the capture of seven rebels and all their
fire arms.
The dispatches further state that Gen.
eral Maceo, with his few followers, j.
said to be SO surrounded that he will
either be killed or starved to aeath.
1t is rumored Maceo is very much dis.
satisfied with the condition of affairs n
the island and says he has been deceiN d
in coming to Cuba. He expected to II
the entire island up in arms but upon is
arrival he finds things entirely aiffere, l.
The two English sailors captured from If
the steamer Honora, which landed Maceo
on the first, were sent to Santiago two
days ago on the man of war Condo de
Nenadito.
The latest news today states that all
Maceo' 5 forces except two have been cap
tured.
KEY WEST, Fla. April % ,-Advces
received here by steamer from Cuba state
that near Guantanamo on the 18th there
was fierce battle between band of 200
Spanish troops and the insurgents. The
Spanish troops were greatly outnumbered
and they were literally cut to pieces.
Only four or five of them escaped to tell
the tale. 1t is said that the insurgents
gave no quarter. Orders had been given
to take no prisoners, and the insurgents
butchered the 200 Spanish soldiers with

Sterling. To punish Mr.. Trumbull for his
alleged dist sss.sd tue former close rela
tions between the Union Pacific and the
Gulf NJ. Clark had concluded to send all
Denver ssenger BUSINESS around by
way of G .eyenne and by withdrawing
from lie J llesburg connection, leave Mr..
Trumbul with 100 miles of track segre-
gated from any other line of railroad ex-
cept its divorcee, the Union Pacific.
Receiver Trumbull seemed not to have
been greatly disturbed by this threat.
The reason is said TO be that by building
ten miles of track Letween Greeley and
Kersey or Orr station, he can connect the
Grin Junction-C Cheyenne branch of the
Gulf road with the Julesburg line. and at
Sterling the Gulf can make connection
with the Burlington road. The Burling-
ton branch from Holdredge to Cheyenne
would IN turn relieve the Grin Cheyenne
line from its present position at the
mercy of the Union Pacific.

Love, made deposition that the latter

depositions state that he told Opponents
that the buggies stock and horses were
insured for more than they were worth
ana that the business had not been pay

In We OIden Times

Radcliffe to this day possesses the ira
diton of terrible tragedy of which there
are several versions. 1t appears that one
Sir William de Radcliffe had very beau
tiful daughter, whose mother died in
giving her birth. After time he mar
ried again and the stepn:other actuated
by feeling of jealousy, conceived
violent hatred to the girl, which ere long
prompted her to be guilty of the most in
sane cruelty. One day, runs the story.
when Sir William was out hunting, she
sent the unsuspectlng girl into the kitchen
with message to the cook that he was to
dress the white doe. But the cook, pro-
Tossing ignorance OF the particular white
doe he was to dress, asserted, to the
young lady's intense horror, that he h,
received orders 10 kill her, which thee
and then he did, afterwards making htr
into a pie.
On Sir Williams return from hunting
he made inquiries for his daughter, but
his wife informed him that she had
taken the opportunity in his absence OF
going into a nunnery. Suspicious. how
ever. of the truth of her story-for her
jealous hatred of his daughter HAD not
escaped his notce-he flew into passion
! and demanded in the most peremptoly
manner where his daughter was. where
upon the sculion boy denounced the
stepmother and warned Sir Wllllam
against eating the pie.
The whole truth was soon revealed, and
the diaboic wickedness of Lady William
did not pass unpublished, for she was
| burned, and the cook was condemned to
stand in boiling lead. A ballad in the
Pcpys collection. entitled The Lady
lsabella's Tragedy. or, The Stepmother's
| Cruelty, records this horrible barbarity;
and in Lancashire ballad called Fair
Ellen of Radcliffe, it is thus graphically
| told:
! She straighte Into The kitchen went,
Her message for TO tell;
And then she spied the master COOK,
Who did with malice swell
"Nowe, master cook, it must be 500,
Do that which thee tell;
| You must needs dress the milk: white doe
You which do knowe full we'll"
Then straight his cruel. bloody hands,
He on the ladye laid.
! Who quiverng and gnastly stands
While thus to her he sayd:
| "Thou art the doe that must dress;
See here behold my knife!
For it is pointed, presentiie

O, then cryed out the scullion boye,
| Asloud as loud might be-
