RIOTING IN SPAIN.

Madrid, Aug. S.-Further riots owing
to the taxes imposed upon the people
have occurred throughout the province
of Valencia. The most serious dis
turbances occurred Monday night in
the outskirts of the city of Valencia,
where fifty men armed with rifles pa
raded about shouting: Down with
the taxes" Down with the govern
ment," and defying the authorities to
interfere with them. They at last
made an attack on the officials who
collect the octroi, the tax collected
upon provisions of all kinds entering
the city and attempted to shoot them.
A strong force of police was hastily
dispatched to the scene.
Upon their arrival the police were
greeted with volley by the rioters,
who proved themselves bad marks
men, none of the police being hit. The
latter then charged upon the mob,
which speedily dispersed, when they
saw that the police were determined
to suppress the disorder. Five of the
mob, including a woman, were wound
ed by the police.
Similar disturbances occurred in vii
lagos in the province and many ar
rests have been made. The authori-

ESCAPED SAFELY.
Relatives of n Cuban General Are
Landed-Bloody Spanish
Defeat

New York, Aug. S.-AmOng the pas
sengers on board the Ward line steam
err Niagara, which arrived today from
Santiago de Cuba, were the sister and
son of General Lucret, of the Cuban
insurgent army. They were obliged
to leave the island and with the great
est difficulty managed to reach the
steamer at Santiago with small
boat. They went on board with
number of persons who We're bidding
adieu to friends and were secreted in
one of the state rooms until after the
steamer left the harbor Gen. Lucret,
with a force of insurgent troops, had
inflicted damage to the Spanish lines
of transportation in which the use of
dynamite played important parts.
Much railway property and bridges
were destroyed in this manner. In
consequence Captain General Weyler
warned Lucret that unless he ceased
that mode of warfare the government
would retaliate by blowing up the res
idence of his family near Santiago.
The family being duly warned i'm
mediately abandoned their home.
Other passengers arriving by the
Niagara report that the Spanish troops
suffered a crushing defeat in battle
fought near Santiago Tuesday, July
2Sth. The Spaniards We're ordered
to attack the insurgents and three
bodies of troops left Manzanillo,
Guantanamo and Santiago, respec-
lively. and marched on the insurgents,
who were supposed to be short dis
lance from the city of Santiago On
the approach of the first Spanish col
umn Gomez and Garcia gathered
their troops and succeeded in engag-
ing each column before they could
effect junction. The Spaniards met
severe defeat, leaving numerous dead
and wounded on the battlefield. Hos
pitfalls and private houses at Santiago

CUBAN ARMSICE.
1T Is SAID THAT AN AGREEMENT
HAS BEEN REACHED.
Various Rumors Are Afoat and Special
ENJOYS Are on Their Way to the
United States.

New York, Aug, A dispatch to the
Herald from Key West, Fla, says:
1t is openly declared here that Capt.
Gen. Weyler has. reached an under
standing with the chief insurgent
leaders, and that negotiations will be
begun with a view to the cessation of
hostilties in Cuba on terms satisfac-
tory to all concerned. 1t is also stat
ed here that the captain general and
his deputy commanders have held a
confidence in relation to this impor-
tant movement. The author of these
striking declarations says the truth
of their reports is established by the
fact that within the last few days in
fiuential emissaries have arrived here
and at other points in this state from
Cuba, bearsng important dispatches
for the Cuban junta in New York.
Some of the sympathizers in the rev.
dictionary cause admit that this dis
patch may have reference to a pos
sible truce, that they are not inclined
to talk freely ON the subject. Other
reports which have arisen on account
of the arrival of the Cubans are to
the effect that the Cubans are at this
time dispatching messages to the
United States, urging immediate aid
in the way of arms and ammunition
of which they are sorely in need. BY
far the greatest importance, however,
is attached here to the report that a
truce is likely to occur soon in the
island.
Ernesto Castro and Jose Rosellea
brought here last night are still held
by the authorities, despite the efforts
of their friends to have them released.
Habeas corpus proceedings were
held today and the men may be re-
leased tomorrow. The apparent anx-
iety and the unusual efforts made L.
secure theCrelease of the two Cubans
detained in order TO enable them to
proceed to New York, are evidences
of their mission to the United States.

GEN. oCHANDO RETURNS TO
SPAIN.

New York, Aug. S.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Madrid says: Gen.
Ochando. chief of staff Of the army of
Cuba, leaves Havana at once for
Spain. This fact is causing much
surprise and comment. His determi-
nation is attributed to various reasons,
the principal being that he has taken
offense at letter received from the
minister of war. According to the
correspondence of the Herald his ex-
pressed reason is that he is sick from
over work and needs rest. Gen. SUI
arez Ynclan will be the probable sue
cessor. Everything is quiet in yalen-
