m a recent job we printed the outside

print more than 3,oco?" Ans. "Not
more than 20 over" Customer: owe
had $50 of yours left over" Natural de-
duction: the other fellow gave short
count. That's the kind of competition
that makes friends for us. He cheated
the customer out of nearly 10 per cent.
of the job.

troops at the point of attack and they
We're almost cut to pieces. more than a
hundred being killed and nearly two
hundred wounded. Most of the Span
iards fled, but a few took refuge in the
fort. Against the fort the insurgents
hurled dynamite bombs, SCATTERING it
and killing and Wounding many of the
inmates. Maceo's Amazons, who had
taken part in the attack, We're carried
away with rage, thinking Of the wrongs
inflicted upon them, and they rushed
upon the wounded Spaniards with their
machetes.
The women killed many of the wound
ed before they could be controlled, Ma
Geo had even to threaten to shoot the
Amazons in order to prevent further
slaughter of the Spaniards When 1t is
remembered what grievous wrongs
those women have suffered it Is not
strange that they show no quarter to
the Spaniards. One woman, whose
daughter had been a victim of the
Spaniards, was in a perfect fury. AS

crossed the trocha, and is now supposed
to be in Havana province. Maceo has
fully 10000 men in Pinar del Rio, and
they are strongly fortified, Nearly all

also ten field pieces, three of which
were procured in the recent attack on

troops along the trocha a general at

Key West, June S.-One of the most
thrilling incidents of the Cuban war &C.
CURED when General Maceo made his
recent attack on the trocha. The Span
ish official report stated that Maceo
was repulsed, but advices received here
are to the effect that the insurgent chief
broke the strong line, secured a large
quantity of arms and ammunition. and
then retired leisurely to his stronghold
in the mountains of Pinar del Rio. In
making the attack Maceo used only the
column of General Bermudez, $500
strong.
Attached to this column were four
companies of women soldiers. Nearly
every one of these Amazons has lost a
husband, father, brother or lover at
the hands of the Spaniards. Some of
them had even been dishonered, and
they hate the Spaniards bitterly. The
attack was made at a point on the tro-
cha, some distance north of San Mar
cos. The point attacked was strongly
fortified, but the insurgents dashed up

pILrERED THE MAIL,
But Is Captured by Decoy Letter Sent
BY Detectives.


HOUSTON, Aug. 26.-About q
month ago the postoffice' depart
ment began receiving complaints
from points along the Houston,
East and West Texas railway of
the rifling of registered packages.
There were not great many pack
ages tempered with, nor were the
amounts involved OF any consider
able aggregate, but Uncle Sam is
equally jealous in ferreting out
crimes of this sort, whether the
amount involved be large or small !;
so two of the best inspectors in the
service, Messrs. Lake Jones and
Sam Fry, were detailed on the
work and sent TO Houston a week
or ten days ago as good point
from which to conduct operations.
They soon located the Office
where the leakage occurred and re-
sorted to the old but effective
method of employing the decoy
letter, in which $25 in marked
bills were placed, and the innocent
but enticing looking missile was
sent through the postoffice at
Shepherd, and there 1t met its fate
and accomplished the desired pur-
pose. 1t WAS riiied of it's contents
and young man about II years
of age, named Edward Sherman,
a clerk in the Shepherd postoffice,
was arrested, and in his pocket
were found the identical bills,
bearing the private marks placed
upon them by the inspectors, max
ing very hard case against young
Sherman, who was brought to
Houston yesterday morning and
locked up in the Harris county
jail. He will be taker before
United States Commissioner Po-
land for preliminary trial.

They Did Not Fight.

NEW YORK, Aug. ga special
cable to the Herald from Havana.
Cuba, says:
The report recently published, in
which it was stated that General
D. FREDERICK Ochando, of the Span
ish army in Cuba, had an encoun-
ter with swords with Captain Gem
eral Weyler in the palace in Hav-
ana, 1t untrue.
1t was said that while General
Ochando was away from Havana
his nephew, a Spanish lieutenant,
was summoned to the palace, and
that General Weyler accused him
OF being in correspondence with
the insurgents. According to re-
port the lieutenant was then given
the choice of a court martial or q
suicide, and that he chose the lat
ter and shot himself. This, it was
stated, caused the encounter be-
tween General Weyler and General
Ochando.
General Ochando's nephew died
of yellow fever, and the general
was at his bedside when death
came. He was never accused OF
disloyalty. General Weyler, Pal
merala, secretary Of the general
government in Cuba, and several
other palace officials attended the
young mans funeral.
