BATTLE IN THE MOUNTAINS.

Grent Excitement Over the Most Re-
cent Engagement i'm Cuba.
New York. May Ga dispatch to the
World from Havana says: All Ha-
vana is a%nxiously discussing the bat
tie in the mountains of Pinar del Rio
province. 1t is believed that the in
surgents who p~ersistently attacked
Gen. Yuclan's troops from Cacaraji-
cara to the seq We're led by Maceo in
person. The stronghold stormed by
Yuclan's forces was not, properly
speaking. a fort. There is an old ranch
OH the top Of the hill at ~Cacarajicara,
whose sides form roads through bold
rocks. and are not wide enough for a
column to spread out to advantage.
There is little timber OF brush around.
The insurgents Certified the roads in
two places with barbados. one above
the other, with the intention Of pre-
venting the Spanish troops from reach
ing the hills. Here the main rebel
camp is located. The officials say the
insurgents fought desperately. and say
the results given prove that they had
every advantage of the situation. They
poured down shot from above upon
the troops. who were practically shut
in a cul de sac in the ravine. 1t is
supposed that the rebels sent from the
point OF attack to notify Antonio
Maceo. who hurried forward to attack
Yuclan. The official report says he
was repeatedly repulsed.

Engineer Kelly Almost Killed by nm
Accident to His Engine.
Engineer Kelly met with an acct
dent that may prove fatal. When
Great Northern Train No. 9 was about
n mile this side of Marvel the other
evening n of the side rods on the
engine broke, n end remaining fas-
tened to the rear driver. The heavy
iron whipped around as the wheel re-
volved, breaking through the eide of
the cab where Engineer Kelly sat and
smashed the air pump,stopping the
train within q distance of n train
length and a half. The engineer was
knocked off his seat and went down
three times under the heavy blows of
the pOnderous piece of iron. His
shoulder, arm, face aud back were
badly injured, and it is really a mira
Gle how he escaped death. He was
brought to Grand Forks and taken to
Engineer Conklin's residence, and DR..
Wheeler was called. Mr.. Kelly's
wounds were dressed and he recovered
sufficiently to be taken to GAINESVILLE.
1t is believed that he is injured inter-
nally, but to what extent is not known.
The side rod is the heavy piece Of
steel that connects the two drive
wheels, and the ponderous blows that
landed on the cab completely demol-
ishcd one side of it. The fireman was
sitting OIL the opposite side, and was
not injured III the least. Engineer
Kelly lives at Breckenridge, and runs
the passenger train between that place
and Eeche.

SENSATION SPRUNG.
Railroad Man Testaes in the Scott
Gaze

Case.
Newport, Ky, May 6.-The most sen
sattonal evidence given in the Scott
Jackson trial to-day was by William II.
Trrsty of Urbana, Ill. He was a
brakeman on the Southern railway at
the time Of Pearl Bryan's murder.
He testified to meeting Emma Evans
at 10 o'clock on the night of the muir
der. They were joined by an old 0 c
tor who was q friend of the woman.
Through these parties Trusty was EN-
ployed to drive a cab. They stopped
at a house on George street, i'll the
tenderloin district. where the doctor
carried the body Of a woman from the
house into the cab. Then they drove
across the Newport bridge and stopped
near the place where Pearl Bryan's
body was found the next morning.
The old man carried the body across
the fence. and afterward they drove
back to the city. Jrusty testified that
they drove a gray morse and rig SIM
liar to the one that George Jackson
described. The old doctor, whose
name Trusty never learned, gave him
$40 for the Job. Trusty afterward re-
turned to his home in urbana. ILL.,,
where he told the story Q TINS
midnight drive to his father.
The witness identified certain let
teIs on cross-examination. One was
to Pearl Bryan's father from William
r. Trusty. the father of the witness,
stating that Trusty and his son were
related to a detective, and that they
could solve the mystery of Pearl Bry-
ans murder. Mr.. Bryan referred the
letters to Mr.. Hayes. his attorney. Mr..
Hayes afterward received letters from
Trusty soliciting employment for him:
self. telling that the defense would
prove that Pearl Bryan died in Cincin-
nati, and that he and his son and their
cousin, who is a detective, could
tkwart this evidence. The cross-eX.
ansination also showed that their
co;.sin was John Seward, who had con.
siderable experience in working ur
testimony.

The Portrait With Two Faces.
On the grand staircase Of Hatfield
house is a portrait of the fourth earl
of Salisbury, to which a curious story
attaches. A casual glance at the pic
ture gives the impression Of a man
with two h~eads-behind the features
Of the earl peers another face in much
fainter outlines and of quite a distinct
type-the face, in fact, of the unfor-
tunate duke of Monmouth. 1t seems
that the duke. when a fayorite or
court, was a friend of the earl of Sal
isbury, and as a mark of his esteem
presented the earl with his portrait.
After Sendgemoor, however, it was not
safe for the earl to keep the picture on
his walls, and it was accordingly hid
den away in the lumber room. Years
after the discarded canvas. from which
the features of the rebel duke had n
tirely disappeared, was found by the
fourth earl of Salisbury at a time when
he was about to have his own portrait
painted, and in a spirit Of economy he
resolved to utilize it for this purpose.
When this portrait came to be cleaned
up some years ago the face of Mon
mouth appeared, to the confusion of
the person engaged in the task. This,
at any rate. is the explanation of the
mystery which Lord Salisbury himself
has accepted, if only for want Of q
hetter-CaSsell'S Magazine.

Grand total ............$27,79 1860
In a number of counties the lands Sc
lected for the. various institutions Of
| the state We're offered for lease this
year for the first time, and the result
| was very disappointing, the total first
wears rents from this source being but
S430.1:3,, which is singular in view Of
the fact that the major portion of these
lands are as fine as any in he state,
and the leases We're for five years. In
order to lease these lands a special APP
praisement had to he made. which, TO-
gethcr with the cost of advertising so
many small tracts (the selections are
all in forty and eighty-acre tracts,
added largely to the expense Of the
| general leasing, and when this expense
is charged against the institutions
and credited to the land department
| appropriation, there will be nothing
left to the credit of the institutions out
of the first years rental.
A special effort was made to lease
tho lands belonging to the university
aud normal schools, but the annual
income from this source derived for
the former will be but $6O.13 and for
the latter S67.s3 after this year:
General satisfaction was expressed
DV the fme because Tue ledSluSS
were held early in the year instead OF
at a time when they were either N the
midst of preparations or actively en-
gagged in seeding. The leasing of the
hay, pasture and cultivated lands at
| the same time was so universally sat
| isfactory that it will probably be the
| rule in future leasings, as it saves
| more than one trip tn the county seats
| by both taxpayers and state.
While in many counties more lands
were leased than i'll former seasons,
| the leasings did not bring rs high
prices, owing, doubtless, to an AMIGA
| bic arrangement among the bidders.
A prominent feature-and the best
vet inaugurated--of the leasings this
| year is the fact that every dollar of
| the first years rent was paid at the
time of leasing. and the state will rot
suffer the losses heretofore sustained
