The Texans Answer to a De-
mand for Surrender.
AS ATTHE ALAMO, ALL ARE KILLED
Surrounded by Overwhelming Num-
bers--They Sell Their Lives
DearIy--TheIr Last Cry,
'.Vive Cuba Lfbre.'

New YORK, Dec, PA special to the
World from Key West, says:
The Lone Star company, of the Patriot
Army of West Cuba, consisting of 15
Texas sharpshooters, perished to man
after battling more than five hours
against vastly superior Spanish forces in
Pinar del Rio province, killing double
their own number and wounding prob
ably as many more. Havana officials
are jubilant, passengers say, over the
news of this victory.
A Cuban band was observed near
Pinar del Rio city Thursday morning
and General Melquiz sent two squads of
cavalry to attack it. After a running
fight, the band, which proved to be COM
posed of the Is Texans, was chased into
tbottle,' bit of hummock having one
opening. The Texans, seeing they were
in hole, retreated to the further end
and fortified themselves behind some
boulders. The Spanish troopers dis
mounted and surrounded them, pouring
in fire from both sides. The braye
Texans replied and kept up the fight for
ulOI0 ILhu AYo Oy Iudb SIX
of the 15 had been killed and four
wounded, while 25 Spaniards had bit the
dust and 10 or more were wounded.
A flag of truce was sent in by the
Spanish, and the Texans were called on
to surrender, but the Americans refused,
shouting. ''We remember Maceo."
This infuriated the Spaniards, and
they fought with renewed fierceness.
Twice they charged, but the rapid firing
of the brave little band drove them back.
BY getting on high ridge behind the
Texans position, the Spaniards were
enabled to kill all but two of those left.
Those two gallantly continued to fight
and held off the enemy an hour longer.
Then, overcome by thirst and enfeebled
by loss of blood, flowing from dozen
wounds, they were cut to pieces by the
Spanish, who finally dashed up as the
Texans cried, ''Vive Cuba libre.''

COAL MINES ON FIRE.
Valuable Property in Nova Scotia Seems
to be Doomed.

HALIFAX, N. S. Dec. 26.-About 5
o'clock Thursday the coal mines OF
SpringhilI were discovered to be on fire.
The fire originated in a pipeway on
the east slope of the 8OO-foot level, and
soon ate into the 300-foot.
When Government Inspector Gilpin
arrived fire was issuing from every open
ing of the mine. Two cupolas were
burned and a bankhead had TO be torn
away. The miners tried to stop up
every airway. Gilpin had to call the
men from this work, as 1t was attended
with great risk. The flames shot 1OO
feet into the air, the reflection being
visible at Amherst.
The extent of the fire is not known,
but most disastrous consequences are
feared. The loss of the east slope is be-
lieved to be complete. At p. M, Fri
day, the slope was reached all right, but
the men will have hard work to save it
Five years ago 130 lives were lost by ar
explosion in these mines.
1t is likely the most serious damages
will be confined to the east slope, il
which the fire started. 1t seems to bt
burning itself out. The loss will b.
enormous.
The fire will cause great destitutior
among the miners, as, even if the fire
does not spread through the entire mine
it is considered doubtful if work can bt
resumed during the winter.

HOW CHILDREN ARE SPOILED.
The Young Mother Fosters ugly Traits by
Iniudicious NIanagement.

The Young Mother Fosters Ugly Traits by
Injudicious Arrangements.
The dangers that cluster about the
Untried feet of the young mother begin
from the very first dawning of her
babes intelligence. Long before she
dreams of his knowing anything or re-
ceiving mental impressions, the seeds
are sowing for good or i'll in his char
acter. 1 have watched the growth of

intruder 1ourished apaee. Get control
OF your child during the first three
years and you are sure of him. If the
habit of obedience and Difference is
firmly rooted then he will never fail you
in after years when he has slipped the
apron leash.
The trouble is too often with the
parents. The mother herself fosters
ugly traits by injudicious management.
Her baby refuses to kiss her. She makes
believe to cry about it and thus gives
lesson that will soon have him crying
for what he wants. He bumps his head
and she whips the door or whatever it
was that hurt him, thus teaching him to
be combative and spiteful. What is it
that makes nearly all children liars and
many of them thieves? They are
trained to be so by the unconscious fin
gers that point the way. The mother
promises anything, everything to keep
peace and avoid combat with the
little creature, who even now is beyond
her control. She does not fulfill these
promises and the child becomes her
Judge. Never tell lie to a child, or in
any way deceive him, if you would hope
to get the proper influence. Do not rob
him of the happiness of supreme trust
in you. twill cling to him through life

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centres in the stomach,
gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing eff
impurities in the blood. Electric Bit
ters improves the appetite, aids diges-
ton and is pronounced by those who
have tried it as the very best blood puri-
fer and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for

Calvin W. Evans of Bennington, senior
major in the Vermont national guard, has
rendered his resignation to Gov. Wood
bury, who has accepted it. Maj, Evans
has been connected with the militia for 20
years, when he enlisted in the Park guard

Park guard, in 1889 he re0rganized it,,
when the present name, Bennington Rifles,
was adopted. He was elected major in

event Capt. II. D. Fillmore of the Ben

next in rank.

Big Marble Failure.

A failure in which some Vermont con-
Germs are largely interested is that of the
Davidson's Sons Marble company of New
York. The company was Incorporated on
Feb. "a, 1891, with capital stock of $780,
600, to manufacture and cut marble for
building, ornamental, and monumental
purposes, the business having been started
there two years previously as branch Of a
Chicago concern. For two years its bust
ness has been improbable. The liabilities
are S1S2,922 of which there are bills paya-
BILE for S150,613, and open accounts for
S32, 300. The assets are nominally $780,
AT. Among the creditors are The Smith
& Brainerd Marble company, Middlebury,
sos, $40; Davidson & Sons, Chicago, S55,-
600; E. r. Brainerd, Chicago, S16,S65 I;
Barney Marble company, Swanton, $3.50.
