Maceo Clever1y Outwits the Span
tards and Bombards a Town.
New York, Oct 29.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Key West, Fla, says:
Well Informed passengers, who ar
rived from Havana last night, con-
firm advices that Maceo has crossed
the trocha at Artemisa and joined 9TH
er insurgent forces in Havana prov
1nce. They declare that the report cir
culated by Maceo of his arrival at
Cacarajacara and an attempted at
tack on the town was merely a feint
on the part Of the rebel commander.
Upon their arrival at Cacarajacara the
Spaniards found nothing but the de-
serted camp. Maceo's followers, under
forced marches, made a detour to the
southwark and suddenly appeared at
Artemisa, the central post on the line
of the trOcha.
The insurgent chief sent word to the
commandant that he intended to bom-
bard the town, giving the inhabitants
five hours in which to leave the city.
Not needing Maceo's threats, the Span
iards would permit no one to leave
Thirty rebel shots from their dynamite
guns We're thrown into the city. Every
building is said to have been leveled,
while the: slaughter of the non-com-
batants was appalling. During the
carnage Maceo and his followers
crossed the line of the trocha into

BLOCKADE AT BUFFALO.
Fleets of Vessels, Loaded With
Grain, Are Arriving,

Buffalo, n. :, Oct. 2S.-Buffalo is.
threatened with the biggest blockade
of vessels in the history of the people.
Chicago, Milwaukee, Duluth and the
ports of Lake Erie are pouring in vast
floods of grain every day, much great
er than the elevators can handle, and
it now looks as though the elevators
would be hopelessly swamped in few
days unless there is a let-up in the ar
rival of the fleets. For the past week
the feet has been accumulating. The
!immense grain crops of the West are
now ready for shipment, and under
the influence of the demand grain
rates at Chicago and Duluth have ad-
vanced to such figure as to attract
the fleets usually busy in the iron and
ore trade. There was grain enough
ito go around for nearly all the boats
in service, and vessels that had been
laid up were fitted out again and sent
after grain cargoes. Nearly all Of this
grain has come to this port and the
elevators have been unable to unload
the boats on their arrival. There were
nearly score of boats waiting at one
time for one elevator last week.

Chicago, Oct. 28.-Both elevator A
and elevator B, of the Pacific Elevator
company, were destroyed by fire, with
other smaller buildings. The loss will
approximate 81 100000; insurance two
thirds. BY i o'clock the fire had as
sumed such dangerous proportions
that general alarm was turned in.
1t had by this time spread to several
small buildings used as weighing Of
fees and these were soon destroyed.
The heat from the burning elevators
was terrific and finally compelled the
abandonment Of four lines of hose
which had been run into the boiler
room of elevator A. ..
Five fremen of Company 33 nearly
lost their lives while fighting the
flames from the roof of the office. a
small brick building in close proximity
to one of the elevators. Notwith-
standing the fact that the roof had
caught fire and was burning beneath
them, they stuck to their posts, till
suddenly the roof fell from beneath
them. Two of the men were close
enough to the edge Of the wall to grab
and were left hanging there as the
roof fell in. The other three went
down but held onto the hose and were
rescued with great difficulty. Burn
ing embers were carried by the high
wind, and for a time it was thought
many OF the buildings in the vicinity
were doomed. Long lines Of freight
cars standing on the track We're re-
moved as fast as possible. P. D. Per-
ry, the superintendent of the Pacific
Elevator company, said that there was
over 100000 bushels of wheat stored
in the elevators. Shortly after the fire
broke out the south wall of the eleva~
tor gave way and thousands of bushels
Of wheat fell into the river. Directly
to the west of the elevator are the
yards of the r. R. Crane Hardwood
Lumber company, and several times
small blazes were discovered among
the piles of lumber, but as fast as
they were discovered they were ex-
tinguished. The greatest danger ex-
perienced by the firemen was the fly
ing debris. The burning buildings
We're covered with corrugated iron and
