WASHINGTON, Nov. l8.-The Spanish
minister, Senior Dupuy de LONE does
not expect to hear of any decisive battle
in Cuba unless the Spanish troops
should be SO fortunate as to corner the
Cubans. He says that Maceo has no
force with which, he can give battle.
The Spanish troops, he thinks, will have
to chase the insurgents from place TO

ing the state where they can secure new
supplies. In case General Weyler's
troops were able to get the insurgents
in a corner there might be battle of
some importance, but otherwise, the
Spanish minister does not look for a
pitched battle. He says the fighting
must be like fighting Indians in this
country, driving the insurgents from
one cover TO another. He does not look
for important, ,advices from Cuba except
possibly the death of Maceo, which he
believes would mean the end Of the
war; He estimates the force which
Maceo is able to collect at 5000 to LOCO

AsSailant Put In Irons and His
Victim Sent to Hospital.

Zachariah Young and James Peoples,
both colored, and employed on the
Steamer Rhode Island of the Providen ce
and New York line, got into a alterca-
tion in the cookroom of the steamer at
S;l5 last evening. After q war OF words
the men ind ulged in blows and Young
seized large catsup bottle and struck
tie was broken by the blow and with
the jagged end Young began to iab
Peoples in the face and neck. Tho affair
did not last more than a minute, but 1t
was a savage fight. The steward, John
IL. Rooney, heard the disturbance and
went into the room, separated the men,
and took them TO the forward part OF
the steamer. He then reported the case
to Captain Williamson, who ordered
Young placed in irons. Peoples was
cared for by a physician on the steamer,
and on the arrival of the boat here this
morning the injured man was taken to
the Rhode Island Hospital, while Young
was turned over TO Sergeant RobDlee OF
the Wickenden street station.

lives on street in this city. Peoples is
"a, single, and lives at 40 Watts street,
New York.

whether the assault was committed In
New York or Connecticut waters.

wound, and his face and neck are cut
up in a shocking manner. Had 1t not
been for the timely interference OF Mr..
Roony, 1t is believed that Peoples would
have been killed.

DEADLY CYCLONE

New York, July 2S.-A heavy wind
and rainstorm passed over this city and
vicinity about 6 o'clock last night The
thunder, lightning and a pouring rain
were. after 10 minutes, followed by
windstorm of cyclonic character. The
lightning struck the chimney OF the hos
Tital wing Of the colored women's home,
In East Sixty-fourth street, and panic
cnsued among the patients. The only
damage, however. was TO the chimney,
which was demolished. A number of
frame buildings were blown down in
Harlem. Chimneys and signboards were
blown from buildings in all parts Of the
city. Charles f. Seigel 2S years old, was
almost instantly killed during the height
of the storm by tall maple tree. which
was blown down upon him. Andrew
Duanny, II, received n shock from
lightning lie will probably recover.
Reports received from " sections Of the
city and state, and Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, indicate that the storm was
general, and that much damage was

A SLICK GAME.
How Directory CanvaSSerS
Secure Orders.
Refusal" Slips That Turn Up
AS Regular Contracts.
One Promoter of the Shady Scheme
Held for the Grand Jury.

Detective Parker has in bis possession
lot of blanks which ne took from
Henry Il. Parks, who was arraigne &c in
the Sixth District Court this morning
on the charge Of forging the name of A.
q. j. Larne1. Parks is a member of the
firm of j. q. a. III. 4. Parks, who, ac-
cording to his story, issued Parks Busi-
ness Directory from 76 and rs Park
Place, New York. The blanks found in
Parks possession ere a study, as there are
dozen different kinds, such as an order
slip, disseminating slip, compiling
slip, a verifying slip, etc.
Each OF these slips is supposed TO be
used for certain purpose, both for the
protection of the publishing house and
the customers, but in all cases any of the
slips can be cut, SO that they are an
order, as can be seen in the accompany
ing cut.
These agents, all of whom are first
class canvassers, will call upon busi-
ness man, and in some way get him to
Ill out one of the Sins. III they can get
none in any other way, they will cell the
business man that they have been ordered
by the chief canvasser TO call upon him
and to show that the sub-canvasser has
done his duty, will request the business
man TO sign "refusal" slip. A month
or two later another man will call in with
the "refusal' slip, but this time it comes
in the form of a genuine order, and the
business man sees it in white and black,
and cannot go back on the order.
In most cases they pay the bill. Yes
terday Mr.. Larned not only refused to
pay the bill but had the agent arrested.
Today tho latter waived examination
and was held for the action OF the grand
jury In the sum of 500. Ii Is supposed
that one of the firm will come TO Provi-
dence and furnish hail for the man, and
he will take bis departure and that will
be the last heard OF the casee. Detective
Parker said this morning that the man
had collected quite sum from business
lin the city during the past week, and
several slips bearing the names of promi-
nent men were found in his possession,
among them being George A. Leete. The
directory in question Is supposed TO be
placed in some OF the larger hotels in
New York. but in most cases there are
none except those which the cavasser
uses. Providence has been known for
some years to be fruitful deld for the
agents of these directories. Mr.. Parker
says one man has been victimized for S25
each year for a mum ber of years, but has
not yet seen his "ad."
