LOST A PITCHED BATTLE.

A Bloody Encounter Between Cuban Pa-
triots and Spanlards in Which the Latter
Were Badly Whipped.
HAVANA, April 15.-News has been
received here of a battle near Leichuza
between the battalion under command
of Col. De Bos and the insurgents un-
der Maceo. De Bos reports that his
battalion, in combination with other
bodies of Spanish troops, left Mariel,
in the province of Pinar Del Rio, for
the purpose of giving the enemy bat
tie. They met the advance guard OF
the insurgents, consisting of force of
200 cavalry, who opened fire upon the
government column. The Spaniards
continued their march toward Leichu-
"a, although opposed at every step,
every elevation being occupied by them
at the cost of fight Upon arriving
in the vicinity of Leichuza they found
the insurgents gathered in strong force
and the enemy made an attempt to
surround the Spanish column.
The Spanish troops fought with great
desperation against heavy odds, but
were defeated with losses of many
killed and wounded. Divining the in
tention of the enemy to encircle his
column, Col, De Bos ordered retreat.
In the retreat Capt. Tort maintained
the formation of the rear guard, though
attacked by greatly superior force OF
the enemy's infantry. The Spanish
column retired to the San Claudio es
tate on the north coast, where the
troops fortified themselves, awaiting
the arrival of other government col
umns Gen. Inclan arrived with hi:
column very opportunely and the
troops under De Bos were also pro
tected by the gunboat Alerta, which
kept the enemy at bay. Col. De Boz
estimates that the force of the insur
gents who charged upon his commanc
numbered 5000 men.

KILLED HIS CHILDREN.
Awful Crime of ChicaEoan Who FinishC

Awful Crime of a Chicaroan Who Finished
His Murderous Work by Sulcidlng.
CHICAGO, April 15-John Lehman, Il
driver for the Chicago & West Division
Street Railroad Co., killed his three
children last night and then committed
suicide. The dead:
John Lehman. aged 20
y! Clara Lehman, aged ).
Bertha Lehman, aged
Baby Lehman aged months.
Lehman was possessed with the idea
that he was growing, aged and, being
in poor health, has been despondent
for weeks past. He was fond of his
children, and while he had over $500
saved he was afraid he would die and
his little ones would not be properly
provided for. Last night he carridd
out carefully laid plan and killed his
children and then attempted to hang
himself with a rope, but, the rope
breaking with his weight, he threw it
aside and used on himself the revolver
with which he had killed his children.
Mrs. Lehman at the time was at a
fiat on Knoll street, to which the fami.
ly intended moving within few days
She had been married twice and by her
first husband had two children, who
live with her and were at home until q
few minutes before the tragedy wa,
enacted. Lehman had no desire tokil
his wife's children by former hus
band, and before committing his dread
full deed sent them out to find theil
mother There is no doubt that hC
was insane from i'll health.

UNITED MINE WORKERS.

The National Convention Meets at Column
bus, O.-Causes of Low Prices for Coal
and Mining.
COLUMBUS, O., April 15.-The annual
convention of the United Mine Work
ers of America opened here Tuesday
with about 100 delegates present, rep
resenting miners in nearly every state
in the Union where coal mining is car
ried on in large way. The day was
spent mainly in preliminary work.
President Penna's report was full OF
encouragement. He urged the men,
bers to go into politics with more pat
riotism and less partisanism, more re-
spect for home and less for the bosses,
and thus work the reforms for which
they contend.
In the report of Secretary-Treasurer
Patrick McBryde he says the coal trade
was better prior to 1890, when this as
sociation was formed, than it is now.
The value of coal on board the cars at
the mines for 1890 was S110, 420, ,S51, and
for 1894 the value was $l,76s,95o less
than in 1890, although the product was
greater by 1880, 800 tons. This con-
dtion so detrimental to both miner
and operator was caused, he said, by
the cursed system of the survival of
the fittest.
Prior to 1890 central Pennsylvania
was represented in the National Mine
Workers. Now they are not here. The
two Virginias and their cheap coal had
much to do with effecting the changed
conditions. Formerly all their coal
went to the Atlantic seaboard. To-day
there is more West Virginia coal in
Chicago than Ohio coal, though the for
mer has to pass through Ohio en- route
to Chicago.
The financial condition of the asso
citation shows debt of about $1,000
with about 81, 100 on hand. Mr.. Nc
Bryde said he expected to see the deb
of about 81, 900 wiped out before the
convention adjourned. Mr. McBrydt
and President Penna, in their respect
i've reports touching the difficulties
they encountered in trying to get Pitts
burg to agree to conditions favorable
for increased mining at better prices
in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, sought tc
show that they ought not to be cen
sured for failure. Conditions wer'
against them They had, they said
accomplished all that men could d.
under the circumstances.

What an Expert Says Of Insomnia.

Sir James Crichton Browne, the ex-

Up Over $4,000.
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Dec G.-Ope
OF the most extensives fires that has CO.
CURED In this place for many years broke
out at IL 80 this morning In AllenA thea
ter building, situated at the corner Of
George and Albany streets. The building
10 100 feet front on George street and 490
feet on Albany street, and contains Al.
lens theater, the common council cham
bers of New Brunswick and the Traction
company Offices also the Masonic rooms.
On the ground floor Is Leonard Schoolgirls
cafe.
The fire started in the rear of the stage
and quickly Quilted the building. John
OBrien, stage manager of the theater,
was found lying on his trunk in an un-
conscious condition. He was taken out by
fremen. Joseph Cashier and wife, jan
itors of the building, were found on the
fourth floor Of the burned building run
mag from one room to another They also
were rescued by tiremen. These are the
only persons injured as far as reported.
The whole fire department was sum-
moned to the scene. The adjoining prop.
erty was threatened, and the 1remen
worked heroically to extinguish the
flames. The burned building was owned
by the Newark Home Building associa-
ton, having built 1t in 1879, at a cost of
10000, and was said to be the largest in
the city. 1t was total loss, and other
losses will foot up probably 500 900 more.

The Commercial Tribune also wired
Senator Sherman for his views, and last
night received this by wire:
There Is no foundation for the stats.
ment that congress may not, II it will,
recognize the independence Of new ma
ton, nor do I think Mr.. Olney contests IT,
but he thinks the matter ought to come
from the president. If, however, congress
should pass resolution and the president
should veto 1t, 1t can be passed by two
thirds vote OF each house, and would be-
come law which the president must re-
spect and obey"
Senator Davis, of Minnesota, tele-
graphed; II think that Mr.. Olney's po-
sition Is untenable. In my opinion con-
gress has the power by statue or by joint
resolution to recognize the independence
of Cuba. If the president approves the
measure there can, of course, be no con-
troversy. If he disapproves 1t and IL lis
passed over his veto 1t becomes law Of
the land as effectually as If he had ap-
proved it, and his duty to execute 1t is
equally imperative In either case"

of a government alleged to DO dc facto,
must devolve upon the executive power Of
the country, which can recognize no bel

THE ATTITUDE OF SPAIN, =.
The London Times Declares 1t Is Not
Likely to be Shaken.

Likely to be Shaken.
LONDON, Dec. 21.-The Times CORES
pondent at Madrid says: 1.-THE most
striking feature to any ono knowing the
Spanish character is the little public ex-
element prevailing. 1t is only fair to
state that the newspapers are mostly mod.
crate and sensible in tone. Whether the
extent of the threatened danger is not
fully recognized, or whether it is despised
as unreal, the determined attitude which
the country and the government have
adopted is not kelly to be shaken even
under the threat of an immediate declara-
ton OF war The premier's declarations are
perfectly clear and consistent and straigh-
forward
The dispatch here quotes the utterancc
OF Senior Canovas that while am prem
Ter Spain will not provoke q conflict with
the United States. But will brook no
attack upon the sovereignty Of Spain"
The Tines Madrid correspondent adds:
This opinion is echoed throughout the
country. This resolute attitude does not
relieve the government Of the RESPONSE
bility OF crushing the rebellion. But in
stead OF following up the advantage which
the death OF Maceo gave the whole army
seems to be occupied since in feasting and
jubliatiOns TO celebrate what is called the
heroic victory of Major Cirujeda' g.
The Times says editorially: I'm face of
Mr.. Olney's distinct intimation of Presi-
dent Cleyeland's intention toward the
Cameron resolution the two houses of
congress may hesitate to accept the re-
sponsibility Of the resolution. The ques-
ton appears more likely to be conflict of
the powers within the American constitu-
ton than between Spain and the United
States. Even il Mr.. Sherman should be
secretary of state in the new administra-
ton 1t is hardly likely that Mr.. Mckinley
would surrender his Independence as ex
ecutive and enter upon tho incalculable
risk OF war with Spain"
The Standards Madrid correspondent
says: "The feeling is unanimous that
America Is treating Spain unfairly by
trying to drive hor, by systematic, violent
and unwarranted provooation, into an
unequal struggle, simply because the
United States has obtained the assurance
that European powers will only give
Spain purely platonic sympathies."
