WITHIN FIVE MILES OF HAVANA.


Insurgents Burn Couple Of villages Close
to the Cuban Capital.
HAVANA Jan. H.-There was another
alarm here yesterday afternoon. Clouds
OF smoke wsrs seen arising in the dircc.
ton Of the village Of Vegas. near San Fran.
cisco de Paula, a small town only about
I'VE miles distant. This was followed BY
a red glare showing that q great fire was
in progress in that direction. The alarm
spread once more throughout the city and
the report was again circulated that tho
insurgents were approaching.
But this was as nothing to the feeling of
terror which came over the more timid
portion OF the population when q still
larger fire was seen to have broken out.
This time it was made out that the town
OF San Francisco De Paula had been set fire
TO by the insurgents and the alarm in.
creased. although the authorities pro-
tessed to sncer ut the matter. claiming
that the fires were only the work of few
beaten and retreating insurgents who had
been driven to desperation.
The greatest apprehension here is for
the safety OF the water works which sup
ply Havana. They are situated at Vcnto.
about five miles from this city, and less
than that distance from San Francisco de
Paula, reported to have been burned by
the insurgents.
Word received last night from the
eastern provinces indicates that the in.
surgent leaders Rabi Jose Maceo Chongo
Rivero and others. with their bands fror
the district Of Sancti Spiritus and Rene
dios. and the bands of GARLIC and Jose
Aguirc have united with the band Of
Rego at Eiajaca in the district of Rene.
dios, province of Santa Clara. Their
course seems to be westward

NApOleOn's Generosity.

Count de P had been raised b.
Renaparte to honors and dignities, but
for some unaccountable reason he be-
trayed the confidence which his patron
had reposed in him. When Ronaparte
became cognizant of the mans treach-
cry, he ordered him to be arrested. He
was to have been tried the following
day and in all probability he would
have been condemned, as his guilt was
fully established. In the meantime
Nine. de P solicited and obtained
an audience of the emperor.
Il am very sorry for your sake, ma
dame," he said, THAT your husband
should be mixed up in All affair which
places his ingratitude in SO glaring a
light
perhaps he is not SO guilty as your
majesty supposes," said the countess.
do you know your husbands sigma
ture?" inquired the emperor, taking a
letter out of his pocket and handing it
to her.
Nine. de P rapidly perused the
letter, recognized the handwriting and
fell into a swoon. When she came
around, Bonaparte put the letter into
her hands, saying:
'Take it. This is the only legal evil
dence that exists against your husband
There is lighted fire behind you.''
The countess quickly snatched up the
important document and threw it into
the flames. P--'s life was saved, but
as for his honor, not all the influence of
generous emperor could avail to restore
it.-Chicago Daily News.
