Tie DiMlTY GOWN.

Oh, that dear dimity gown,
That charming dimity gowni
With ruiiie and pun
IL was sweet enough
To make a colibato frown.
And the girl who wore it smiled
In such II superior way.

Not 10 follow her nod

In the sunshine and in the cloud.
Oh, belle of the town
In your dimity gown.
How often you've done me proud
Old fashioned dimity gowni
Dear, dainty, dimity gown.
With the sash Of blue
And the little shoe,
You are my kingdom and crowni

HAVANA, CUBA, Dec. 4.-The stu
alton across the bay is very grave. The
insurgent forces which have within the
last week several times attacked Guam
abacoa, which is directly under the
guns Of Morro Castle, today made a
bold dash and entered the town. The
resistance OF the garrison was over
come and the Spanish troops were de-
feated and compelled to flee. The in
surgents then began their work of de-
struction and piled the torch in every
direction, burning a large part of the
city. The citizens as soon as possible
fed TO Havana or to the suburbs.
The feeling here is one of great con-
cern. Large bodies of troops have
been dispatched by the Government
10 dislodge the rebels. The firing of
the combatants was heard here, and
the sight Of the red sky, showing the
devastation that was in progress,
struck terror into many hearts in the
capital. The strength Of the column
that entered Guanabacoa is not known.
If the Government authorities are
aware of the name of the leader they
have not disclosed it.

NEW OCEAN LINER.
Pacific Mail to Have New Steamer.
Profitable Year.

Pacific Mail to Have New Steamer.
Profitable Year.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov.-The Paci-
fic Mail Steamship Company has at last
awakened to the necessity of building
vessels that can successfully compete
with the swift liners of the Canadian
Pacific and the new japanese Steam
ship Company. A dispatch from New
York has been received which announ-
ces positively that by unanimous vote
the directors of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company have ordered the build
ing of new steamer. The ship will
fly the American flag and will be avail
able for use by the Government as
transport. She is to be of 1000 tons
burden and capable of making not less
than sixteen knots an hour. This
steamer is to be used in the China
trade of the line.
The directors have authorized the
payment of the semi-annual dividend
of / per cent of the capital stock of
$4,000, 900. The report of the treasur-
treasury S1,500,000. When Coils p
Huntington took the presidency of the
company in 1887 there was a deficit it
is said of s1,25OO0O
The new steamer will be built at
Newport News and will be at least one
third large than the Empress of China
and Empress of Japan of the Canadian
Pacific line and 2030 tons, gross, larger
than the China, the best vessel the
Pacific Mail has on its China route at
present. AS compared with the great
American greyhound st. Paul, the new
craft will be about 400 tons, gross,
smaller, but her passenger accommoda-
tion will be equal to that of the St.
Paul, and her engines built on very
much the same designs.
The propelling engines will be of the
triple expansion type, capable of driv-
! ing the ship at about 19 knots under
pressure. Electricity will be furnish
ed by two powerful motors that will
furnish 400 lights. One of the features
of the new ship will be a promenade
deck, such as have the Atlantic liners.
1t is thought here that the company
viii not stop building after they have
completed the vessel mentioned. At
present a number of White Star boats
are chartered by the company, and if
mail subsidies can be secured it would
not be at all profitable to hire English
craft.

Suicide and Fails.
James Clancy, a quartermaster on
the U. S. S. Adams, shot himself on
board the warship early Saturday
morning, and was afterward removed
to the Queens Hospital, where he now
is, and in fair way to recover.
Clancy has been much interested in
church matters since his arrival here
six months ago, and has had room in
the Sailors Home when he was on
shore
A young woman in the Methodist
Church, who takes deep interest in
the spiritual welfare of sailors, met
Clancy during one of the meetings, and
by her wise counsel kept him on the
right road. The young man became
enamored of her and was 10th to leave
Honolulu.
Friday the nearness of his departure
so worked upon him that instead of
remaining at his boarding house in the
evening to receive some church friends,
he yielded to temptation and went to

CINCINNATI. O., Dec. A special
10 the Commercial Tribune from Key
West, Fla, says: Passengers by the
steamer from Havana tonight say that
q train with 500 wounded Spanish SOL
diers arrived there today. 1t was said
that most of them came from the vi
cinity Of San Cristobal and Candelaria.
No definite statement could be had as
10 what battlefield they came from.
Rumors prevailed on their arrival that
Weyler had sustained another defeat.
Counter statements were also made
that the vanguard of Maceo's army
had been defeated. Moreover, it was
announced that Weyler is on the eve
of attempting to storm some of the
hilltops where Maceo is intrenched.
This afternoon the rumor was cur
rent on the streets there that another
garrison of Spanish had deserted over
10 Maceo with their arms, ammunition
and stores. The place was not given,
though It is supposed TO be near Pala-
cious Over $50 men were in the gar
rison.
Late in the afternoon guerrilla fight
ing was reported across the bay from
Havana. Just beyond the line of forts
a small party of insurgents made
dash into the suburbs. They succeed
ed in killing three Spanish soldiers,
capturing one Captain and firing sew
eral houses. They lost five killed. Sew
eral American correspondents at Ha
vana have had friendly warnings that
Weyler is contemplating deporting
some of the more outspoken ones be-
cause their reports do not please him.
