Tended the engine and killed three inyurg-
ents, besides their leader, Calderon. OF the
escort three were wounded.
1t is reported in Remedies that Maxine
Gomez has returned with an escort to the
district of Sanct Spiritus, in Santa Clara,
ordering the main force of the insurgents,
under other leaders, to march to the west.
The fact of Gomez absenting himself from
his troops is much commented upon and
many persons see in it a confirmation of the
rumors that Gomez is likely to die soon.
From all over the island reports are re-
ceived that hundreds of political prisoners
were liberated in observance of the king S
birthday on last Sunday.
1t Is alleged that in consequence of the
last engagement in which they took part, the
bands of Zayas and others to the number of
1000 have become demoralized and have
passed in prec!pitate retreat by Charcos and
Retro, in Matanzas, going toward the east.
Colonel Molena reports that he has had
an engagement at Gaia, Herradura wit hthe
bands of Bermudez and Colazzo and that he
took their camp, the insurgents leaving eight
killed and their colors and arms and carry
ing off their wounded.

NEW YORK, May 22.-The appellate div-
sion of the supreme court today denied mo-
tion to confirm the report of the special com
mission on rapid transit appointed by the
supreme court. This defeats the under
ground railway plan adopted by the commits
sion.
The courts finding is based upon the fact
that the cost of the plan OF the commission
has not been estimated and that in any event
it would be 50 great that 1t would precludn
the city for some time to come from building
new schools, buying new park lands and
making other public improvements. The
court says: "The probabilities indicate that
after sinking s51, 100000, the sum which
the legislature empowered the commission to
eXpend without being able to complete it,
the enterprise will have TO be abandoned
since no legislation could afford relief. All

saying that this city began to buid and was

Quite a party had entered the great wheel
there known as the gigantic wheel and
recreation tower. This structure is an i'm
itation of the famous Ferris wheel of the
Chicago Worlds fair, but it is larger. the
highest point being 800 feet from the ground,
while the top of the Ferris wheel was only
26i feet high. Then again the London wheel
carries forty large cars, while the Chicago
wheel had thirty-siX. All the cars of The
Chicago wheel were alike but ten Of the
cars of the London wheel are upholstered
and luxuriously furnished for the use of
first class passengers. Five of these are re-
served for smokers and five for non
smokers; the remaining thirty cars carry
second class passengers, the full capacity
Of the wheel being 1,2OO people. On top of
the two towers on which the wheel revolves
are two promenade saloons.
Shortly before Sis o'clock last evening the
wheel started with quite number of people
IN board and everything went merrily until
$40, when the structure ceased revolving
At first little or no attention was paid to the
matter, but as time passed and the wheel
did not bulge those who were able to do so
left the cars and steps were taken to rescue
those who were imprisoned higher up. Lad
ders wee procured, and, later, fire escapes
were used. But in spite of all these efforts
quite number of people were compelled to
remain aloft.
Every means were resorted to to feel them
and make them comfortable for the night.
They eventually went to sleep, but awoke
this morning early and in a very hungry
condition. By means of ropes, cans of
coffee and baskets of bread and other pro-
visions were hauled up to them. But 1t
was not until noon today that the prisoners
were finally released, amid much cheering
