KEY WEST, Fla, Nov. 9. passengers

gence of another outrage committed
on an American citizen. Although the
details are incomplete, the facts are
positive, since the victim has filed a
protest with Vice-Consul Springer

that near the town of San jose de
Las Laias, this province, Span
ish force patrolling the country
surprised three rebels who tried
to sneak into town. The Spaniards
gave chase and the rebels fed. In Or
der to discover the hiding place of the,
fugitives, the Spanish forces divided
into squads of so men and sent them
in different directions and one OF these
parties went to the estate owned by a
Cuban, where Frederick L. Cray craft
a native of Indiana and only two years
in Cuba, was manager. They entered
the residence, destroyed the furniture
and ransacked the premises. The
women present were insulted in the
most outrageous manner.
Craycraft protested that he was an
American and showed his papers.
This, it seems, incensed the officer in
command, who drew a sword and COM
menced slashing at Graycraft He
managed to avert death, but was
wounded in the back, receiving fear
full cash that carried away part of the
flesh. His forearm was also cut to the
bone. The other officers interfering

On that day let all the people forego their
usual work and occupation and assemble in
their accustomed places of worship. Let
them with one accord render thanks to the
Ruler OF the Universe for our preservation as
nation and our deliverance from threatened
danger; for the peace that has dwelt within
our boundaries: for our defense against dis
ease and pestilence during the year that has
passed; for the plenteous rewards that have
followed the iaborS OF our huSbandmen, and
for all the other blessings that have been
VouchSafed to Us.
