A Good Circus, Well Managed.

Lemen Bros. circus, which showed
here lately, gave very general salts
faction. At Darlington two of the
attaches quarreled, and report says
both were seriously and one fatally
hurt, but that was pnrely personal
affair for which the management
was in no wise to blame. What the
Journal says of the show and people
will be corroborated by the many
who saw them in Mineral Point, to
wit: That little Edna, the child rid
er is a wonder; one of the elephants,
Rajah, is undoubtedly the biggest
brute on earth and the boxing
match between kangaroo and its
trainer is unique and amusing.
Lemen's clowns are original fun
makers, and the other features of the
circus are first class. The proprie-
tors and their advance agents are
courteous gentlemen. There was no
gambling Of any kind on the grounds,
and the special police appointed by
the mayor had nothing to do but
stand around and look pleasant.

WEYLER OFFERS AMNESTY.
All Insurgents Who Surrender Within
Twenty Days VIII Be Pardoned.


Havana, April 24.-Capt. Gen. WeylcT
has issued proclamation which he ex
poets will result in many of the rebels
laying down their arms. The procla-
nation says in substance that the in
surgents in the province of Pinar del
Rio have been demoralized by the o.
stacles which prevent their passing the
military line from Mariel TO Majana
and by their constant persecution by
the troops. 1t being known that many
of the insurgents are DESTROYS of sur
rendering, but fearing to do so, be-
heving that they viii be shot, he there
fore orders that all the rebel leaders
and their followers who during the next
20 days shall present themselves, with
their arms, to the military authorities
in that province will be pardoned. Par
don will also be extended to those rebels
and rebel sympathizers who surrender
without arms. The military authori-
ties, the proclamation adds, reserve the
right where those who surrender shall
reside.
Rebels have captured Cruces, an i'm
portant town near Santa Clara. The
Spanish troops remained within the
forests about the town, apparently
afraid to venture forth to attempt TO
repulse the insurgents. The latter,
after entering the place, set fire to the
houses of several well-known support
ers of the government. They also
looted a number of stores owned by
Standards securing slInDlies of Drc-
visions and clothing. When the last
advices were received the rebels were
still in possession of the town.
