HAVANA April 1S-Further informa.
tion from the front shows that the battle
of Tuesday last at Laehuza was the most
severe since the beginning of hostilities
1t was complete defeat for Colonel Lin
ares by General Maceo, whose force CON
sisted of 5000 men, Spanish reports place

whom $50 were killed and 500 wounded.
The insurgents lost POO killed and about
400 wounded.
Maceo led his troops into the thiokest Of
the fight, and Colonel Llnares' forces re-
treated in disorder They finally made
stand on the wharf of the San Claudia
plantation behind rude Notifications, un-
til warship came to their rescue. The
Cuban forces on the shore made sad havoc
with the troops as they embarked, shoot
ing them down in their boats.
In the battle a company of Cuban wo-

ture Colonel Linares an insurgent, Al.
varez, got separated. Seeing his danger
Mrs. Alvarez and several others followed
him. Both husband and wife were caught
in the Spanish lines, and tried to fight
their way back with machetes. Thinking
that his wife was still at his side Alvarez
made his escape, but she was cut off at
the last moment, and was literally hacked
to pieces by Spanish machetes. In his
grief and chagrin Alvarez shot himself Sc

General Maceo commanded Alvarez to
appear before him. On demanding a
reason for his crime, Alvarez said he could
not endure life purchased by his wife's

may die, for if you live will surely hang
you. Cuba needs men too sorely to lose
any except in the face of the enemy"

A nIshop Under Arrest.

WASHINGTON, April 18.-The state de-
partment has received brief cable mes
sage from Consul General Williams, at
Havana, announcing the arrest of Pro
testant Bishop Alberto Jesus Diaz, who is
well known throughout the south and to
many church people in all parts of the
United States. Dlaz is naturalized
American, and of strong Cuban sympa-
thies, but his friends insist that his work
in Cuba has been confined to proselyting
for the church, and deny participation in
the rebellion on his part.

Impossible to Avoid Future Trouble.

LONDON, April 1s.-The Times has a
letter from johannesburg, bearing date
of March 30, which confirms the intelli-
gence hitherto brought by cable that Co.
ionial Secretary Chamberlain had de
manded President Krugers reply to the
Invitation to visit England within a GER
tain number of hours, but that Mr. Cham
berlain had granted an extension of the
time on President Kruger's request. III
peace is patched up now, however, sLJs
this letter sit seems hardly possible to
avoid trouble in the future The military
preparations here are quite inconsistant
with any other explanation than that war

Medill and the governor, Mr.. Medill

day comes directly before the G. A.

RIGHTED WRONGS.
Board of Education Restores
ignored Principals.
SUPERINTENDENT NOT SETTLED.

Music Substituted for Calisthsntics and
Other Important Action Taken at
Last Nights Meeting Buildings to he
Inspected.
The board of education at a special
meeting last evening righted several
of the wrongs of the late board. 1t
reinstated Principals w. N. Halsey,
Of the High school, Miss Anna Fitz-
patrick. of Building No. 6, read
lusted some salaries improperly in
creased, and substituted music for
calisthenics in the schools. All the
changes were made in the line of
rectifying errors growing out of the
unfortunate controversy which char
acterized the last Board.
Miss kirkpatrick was reelected to
her old position at salary OF 5000
per annum on the votes of Messrs.
Robbins, Donaldson aud Marshall and
Mrs Hamilton, Mrs. Norris voting
negatively. Mr.. Halsey received the
votes of the three gentleman men,
bers. the ladies opposing his restora-
tion. His salary was advanced $500
per annum, making it $1,000. The
old board had raised Miss Platt's
salary from 5000 to $l,100 and had
advanced Miss Doonan from $50 to
500 per month. The board last even
ing cut the salaries of both to what
they were originally. although the
lady members protested against the
change.
The board then abolished the su-
pervisor Of calisthenics, which posi-
tion has been filled heretofore by
Miss Sarah Greene and which duties
may be readily assumed now by the
teachers, and reestablished the posi-
tion of supervisor of music. but made
no appointment last evening. the
ladies again voting against these
changes. wise as they are in every
respect.
The Superintendency.
The directors devoted considerable
time to the discussion OF the super
iltendencv, the choice having mar
rowed down to byt few candidates.
but it is important that certain in
formation be had yet before action is
finally taken. The board hopes to
fully determine on this matter now
in very short time.
The supply committee was in.
structed to solicit bids for needed
desks, and the fuel committee di.
rected to advertise for coal and WOO
bids. The president and secretary
were authorized to sign and Issue
necessary orders. bills being allowed
as follows: Coal Valley Mining com
pany, 1900; NJ. Yerbury, $i0D.
The board decided to make a tour
OF inspection of the school buildings
Friday afternoon, and adjourned.
