Their Rescuers.
San Francisco, Nov. 30.-When the
thirty.seven survivors of the crew Of
the wrecked collier San Benito were
landed at Mission street wharf by the
steamer Point Arena between 8 and A
o'clock this morning, the poor fellows
were still shivering from the thorough
chilling they received while clinging
to the rigging SO many hours waiting
to be saved. As they climbed on the
dock, they gathered in a group, OF
which Captain Smith was the center,
and gave a succession of rousing cheers
for the crew of the Point Arena. Then
the shipwrecked men quickly scattered
to their homes, most Of them having
families.
Many Of the San Benito's men were
pitiable pictures as they landed. As
a rule tEoy had more to say in praise OF
their rescuers than Of their own suffer
ings. One and all lauded Mate Louis
| Olsen, of the Point Arena, to the skies
and were full of praise for Peter An
derson, Andrew Lilleland aud Axte,
Henricksen, who, with Olsen in charge
manned the first boat that approached
the wreck to rescue the men hanging
to the rigging for life.

special from Jacksonville, Fla, says:
Colonel Jose Reyes. abide camp of
General Naceo, wounded and en- route
to New York for medical treatment,
and with dispatches 10 the junta, passed
through here yesterday. He says the
fighting in the Rubi hills Of Pinar del
Rio was the most ssnguinary battle of
the war. He claims 1000 Of Weyler's
men were killed in two days, and twice
as many wounded.
Weyler went to the field with So, 900
men in three columns, one Of 10. 900
under himself; one of 10, 600 under
General Echague, and q third Of 5000
under General Munzo. They found
Maceo entrenched in a crescent shaped
range Of hills. When at the foot of the
hills the Spaniards were met with a
whitening fire that cut gaps in their
ranks. Maceo's men shot from behind
rocks and trees, and gradually gave
way before the Spaniards, who. en-
coursged by what they thought to be
q victory, pursued them.
Suddenly a deatening explosion rent
the air, and a scene followed somewhat
like the mine horror at Petersburg dur
ing the late war. Horses and men
were blown high in the air and fell to
the earta dead and mangled. The
dynamite mine was touched of by John
Linn, formerly Of this city, who IL
Mao,o's electrician. Maoeo then
loosened his dynamite guns, prepared
+ by Linn, and more havoc was wrought.
In the mine explosion, Colonel Reyes
says, Weyler lost 700 men killed, and
Z 500 more in charging, besides 1900
wounded.

serve force under Weyler, retreated t.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Dec. IF. M.
Arnhold, living near this city, reports
a terrible experience with masked rob.
bers, who entered his house at an early
hour in the morning. Mr.. and Mrs.
Arnhold were awakened and found
three masked men in their bedroom.
The robbers covered them with pistols
and demanded to know where their
money was concealed. Arnhold denied
that he had any money, and his wife
was too terrified to speak. The man
and woman were then dragged into the
cellar and were held there while II of
the robbers went to the rooms above
and heated an iron poker to a white
heat and returned with it to the cellar.
When they threatened to apply this to
Arnhold's naked feet, he weakened and
told them where they could find what
money he had. There was but SlS il
the r%ancher's cache, and so angry were
the robbers that they demolished much
of the furniture in the house before
leaving.

ner disappeared from st. Joseph county.
Mich, then his home, in 1856. His
wife did not give up hope of his return
until 1864, when a letter alleged to
have been written by her husband on
his dying bed solved the mystery. The
letter came from Los Angeles, Cal,
where Mrs. Weidner believed her hus.
band died. Mrs. Weidner donned
widows weeds and mourned her hus.
band as dead. She subsequently mar.
ried John Tompkins, and to this union
six children were born.
Yesterday Weidner returned to find
his family, little believing that his
wife was alive. He found in gray
headed Mrs. Tompkins the bride Of hi
youth, and as husband and wife they
will live together again. Weidnel
went to the coast to speculate, and sew
