Spanish Spies Outwitted.

A dispatch from New York SAYS that
when the Richard Peck reached her dock
In Peck slip, from New Haven, yesterday
morning, there was an unusual scurrying
around of officials OF all kinds. Some
were representatives OF the Cuban junta
some were detectives In the employ of the
Spanish government and others were there
representing the United States govern
ment. Notification had been sent frol.a
New Haven that several thousand Win
. chester rifles and an enormous quantity OF
ammunition had been stored in the steam
er's hold.
The arms had been ordered by the repre-
sentatives OF Cuba in this country. There
was no secrecy observed about the load
ing of the munitions Of war, because it
was felt that it would be useless. The
cases containing the guns and cartridges
We're marked with "C' over "J' In q
diamond, and consigned to New York.
When the cargo was unloaded ON the
pier there was no sign OF the long cases
They had been carefully and quietly re-
shipped on n lighter sehich had been made
fast alongside the Peck, and as soon as
they were all transferred. the lighter was
drawn away by tug. They will be
shipped TO Cuba when another expedition
is fitted out.
The Spanish detectives stood on the pier
and scrutiiiized carefully every package as
1t was unlonded, but found nothing. Tho
boxes and cases were all innocent mer-
chandise. They did not notice cases about
five feet square being lowered by means of
ropes on the other side Of the steamer If
they had done so and made any protest OF
a forcible nature, there might have been
trouble, for there were many Cuban SYM
pathizers on the dock.

PATRIOTS ARE BUSY.
Lack of Arms All That Prevents Cuba
From Being Free.

Boston, March 90 Two Spanish spies
have arrived in tho city. They have been
seen and recognized by local Cubans.
They came here from Washington, but
their description and u warning came on
the same train, addressed 10 all the prom
inent Cubaps OF this city. They are either
Americans or English, and some say they
are Plnkerton detectives.
President Fuentes OF the Boston Cuban
club, last might, said: II was glad to
know they were in the city / have not
met them yet as far as / know. although
/ might have done so. Every day hun
drcds OF people apply to me for informa-
tion respecting Cuba. and try TO learn
what we are doing for our fighting broth
ers. The spies might have approached
me and would not have recognized
them They did not find out anything
from me, however.
"We are waiting for the Cubans to be
finally recognized before we act. When
this is done we will act in such manner
that Cuba shall be free forevermore. We
have thousands of volunteers ready TO go
II they have chance. We have lots Of
arms, and it is n wel-known fact that give
the patriots 1000 rifles they can capture
5000 men.
Every Man Patriot.
"All the patriots want are sc, 900 stand
OF arms. They do not want money, cloth
ing or food. They are fighting for free
dom and every man is a patriot 1t is i'm
possible TO defeat such men. In the report
of a recent battle fought In the immedi-
ate vicinity OF Habana, the Spaniards
claimed to have won the victory.
'This Is absolutely false. The Cubans,
1000 strong, attacked Spaniards OF about
the same strength. armed only with few
rifles and machetes, and completely routed
them and captured numbers OF cannon,
small arms and ammunition.
"All they are doing now Is getting ar
tillery, and when once this is obtained,
they will be invincible. Every day they
have to refuse TO take volunteers, owing
to having no arms. Once remove this diff
fculty and they will double their present
strength.
1--WE have numerous arms stored all
over the country. particularly in Florida.
The coast of Florida is dotted with places
where rifles and all kinds of arms are
awaiting shipment to Cuba"

Now Orleans, La, Oct. "A Key
West special says: Advices received
here from Havana state that Antonio
Macco in his recent attack on the tro-
cha inflicted terrible losses on the Span
iards, more than 1000 being killed and
wounded. The attack was made at
night and was carefully planned. The
lighting was general all along the line,
but was fiercest near Artemisa, where
Antonio Maceo led a picked force of
insurgents against the Spanish column
commanded by Gen. Aralas.
The Spaniards were taken complete
ly by surprise. They were reused from
sleep to find hail of insurgent bullets
falling upon them. Gen. Aralas and his
staff, half clad. rushed from their head
quarters and tried to rally the Spanish
troops, who were panic-stricken by the
insurgents attack. 1t was half an hour
before even sembance of order could
be restored to the Spanish column, and
during that time the troops huddled to-
gether an easy mark for the bullets OF
the Cubans. 1t was during this period
of panic that so many of the Spanish
troops were killed.
The insurgents had several dynamite
guns, and these were used with terrible
effect, the shells bursting among the
Spaniards and striking them down by
scores. The wounds made by the dyna-
mite shells were frightful, in many in
stances men being literally blown to
pieces. 1t is said that many Spanish Of
ncers were killed and that Gen Aralas
himself was wounded, After Gen. Ara
las succeeded in rallying his men he
made a retreat, and the Spaniards fell
back four miles or more, leaving the
trocha near that place in the hands OF
the insurgents.
Antonio Maceo did not pursue the
Spaniards, but held possession OF Arte'
misa until morning, when he retreated
to his stronghold. Before the insur'
gents retreated they demolished the sec
ton of the trocha near Artemisa, blow
ing I'D the Notifications with dynamite
They captured six pieces of artiller!
and many thousands of cartridges ant
several hundred stands of arms.

The latest silk petticoat may be a
forerunner of the much despised bus
tie. 1t is billowy creation made with
a deep rufie, through the bottom OF
which a fine reed is run. At the back
the lower half of the skirt hangs in
folds. There are six folds, and through
each one a reed is run which makes the
skirt stand out with certain agrees
sive stiffness at the bottom, though
at the waist line it is very fiat. All
the new silk skirts have either the fine
reeds to aid them in standing out, or
they are lined from the bottom to a
few inches above the knee with hair
cloth. Women of fashion in buying
a silk petticoat these days order a
shorter silk skirt to match as well as
a corset, Brocade is the silk most in
favor, and both the skirts and corset
are exquisitely embroidered with the
owners monogram. Lace founces trim
both skirts, and tiny frll of the same
pattern of lace finishes the corset at
the top.

Fort Worth, Tex, Oct. 3.-John
Wren, an engine wiper in the employ
of the Fort Worth and Denver rail-
road, was fatally crushed in the round
house in the company's yards at this
place, yesterday afternoon at 2:3O
O'Clock. At the time of the accident
Wren was riding on the footboard OF
a switch engine. A car coupled to the
front of the engine was being pushed
forward. Suddenly and without warn
ing the car was run violently against
other cars in front and the coupling
was broken, the car being damned
against the front of the engine.
Wren was caught between the two
and his left hip was terribly mangled
and crushed, this being the worst in
jury he received. The company's ply
stefan was at once summoned, but it
was seen Immediately that the mans
injuries were fatal, and he died lit
tie before A o'clock. The remains
were conveyed to an undertaker's and
prepared for burial, but no inquest
was held.

The London correspondent Of the
Manchester Courier publishes a re-
markable account of new illuminant,
which, if all that is said of it is true,
will push both gas and electric light
very hard. For its production no ma
chinery is required save that contained
in portable lamp neither larger nor
heavier than is used with COLA oil or
paraffin This lamp, it is declared,
generates its own gas. The substance
employed is at present a secret, ieal-
ously guarded by some inventive Ital-
lans The cost is declared to be at
most one-1ifth of that of ordinary gas
and the resultant light is nearly as
bright as the electric light and much
winter A single lamp floods a large
room with light. The apparatus can
be carried about as easily as a candle
stick and seems both clean and odor-
less.

Denver Col, Oct. "A special from
Albuquerque, N. NJ, says that message
received at 10 p M last night stated
that the east-bound Atlantic and Paci-
fic passenger train, due at this city at
S;45, was being held up at Rio Purcio
bridge, about thirty miles from this
city.
As soon as the train pulled out of the
station it was halted by several masked
men and the express messenger COM
mandcd to open the door Of his car. A
general fusillade of shots kept the pas
sengers terrorlzed.
When the robbers jumped on the en-
glue and compelled Engineer Ross and
his fireman to uncouple the engine and
express car from the train. Deputy
United States Marshal Loomis who was
returning from the west, took in the
situation and fired at the first man, kill
ing Cole Young. The robbers then
commenced. and shot o lantern from
abe hand of a brakeman. Rumors here
are that several others were shot, but
this is not yet confirmed.
Rio Purcio is only a watering station,
with a telegraph office, in charge of the
pump man The robbers, after cutting
the engine and express car from the
train, ran to the bridge, several hun
dred yards away. The pump man re-
ported having heard an explosion, and
believes the robbers have burned up an
excursion car Engineer Ross was

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 3.-Full and
authentic advices from Cedar Keys late
last night show the almost total de-
struction of the town and the loss OF
thirty-nine lives. This is believed to
include the complete roll of the dead.
AT Shell Mound great pleasure resort
near the place, party of five men,
three women and three children were
camping out. Some survivors, making
their way home after the storm, found
the eleven dead bodies strewn on the
shore, under logs and brush. They were
close together, which would indicate
that they were simultaneously killed by
the tidal wave. Eight other bodies have
been found on the beach. Twenty more
fishermen are still to be heard from,
all of whom are probably dead.
During the hurricane at Cedar Keys
the water came up with the wind, and
down the principal streets rushed a
mad torrent, upon which floated houses,
boats and debris of every description.
The destruction of property was as
follows:
Four miles of the Florida Central and
Peninsular railway, most of its trestle
work washed away; four cedar mills
and an ice factory badly damaged; the
custom house and w. 7. McCleary's fish
house washed out to sea, and the big
school building, the Methodist and
Christian churches, the Beatty building
and the negro church crushed like egg
shells. The loss is estimated at $780,
900.
Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 3.-The re-
ports that have been sent out concern
ing the loss of life at Cedar Keys are
grossly exaggerated 1t is so far posi-
lively known that twenty persons have
been drowned in that vicinity. In addi-
ton to this, it is feared that the crews
of numerous sponging vessels were lost
during the gale, but as communication
with that district is still impossible, any
statement of probable numbers would
be the merest guesswork. In the in
terror of Florida the destruction Of
property was great. but no loss of life
is reported.

Ladonla, Tex, Oct. 3.-The terrible
fire of Thursday is the one theme in
business and home circles. The three
lives lost in the flames were of one
family--Miss Carrie Mcfarland, her
brother Jimmie, and her aunt Mrs
Jane Knapp. 1t seems that Miss Me-
Farland was the first to awaken when
the alarm of fire was given and she
went through all the house to see
that everyone got out safely. She
waited too long and lost her life in the
attempt to save others 1t is presum-
ed that when she was overcome by
the heat she was trying to rescue her
brother, as their bodies were found
side by side in the ruins. Miss Nc
Tarland was a young lady and a gen

den death was great shock.

Some writer says that none but pro-
fessional poultrymen can learn to feed
properly for egg production. We are
pleased to believe that the writer is
mistaken, and that anyone that will
pay attention to the advice of others
will be able to feed for eggs success
fully. The point to be borne in mind is
to feed foods that make everything but
fat. Corn is to be fed in very small
quantities, If fed at all, except in win
ter, when it may be serviceable in pro-
ducing material for keeping the birds
warm. For soft feed ground oats are
good, and bran may be mixed with
them in equal quantities by bulk. Give
The fowls all the oats they care to eat,
feed the scalded food morning and
night, and we believe eggs can be pro-
duced the year round. This advice is
from experience.
