ALARM IN HAVANA.
Insurgents Blow Up Bridges Near the
City with Dynamite.

Havana, June IS. = The city was
startled and alarmed Saturday night at
nine o'clock by the noise of two sue.
cessive explosions which shook the
ground for long distance and was
heard for several miles. CONSERVATION
prevailed for time, as it was feared
that this was a prelude to an attack or
II series of similar explosions. Excited
throngs rushed to the streets, while an
armed party proceeded in the direction
from which the detonations had been
heard.
1t was soon found that the stone
bridges of Christina and Concha and
the aqueduct of Fernando Septimo
were the points that had suffered from
the dynamite. The bridges were par
TALLY destroyed and the pipes on the
equeduct, upon which the city is de.
pendent for it's water supply, were
much damaged. 1t cannot yet be stated
how extensive is the damage done or
how long it will require to remedy IL.
There is no doubt that the dynamite
which caused this wreck was placed by
agents of the insurgents. 1t has been
their determination, announced some
time since, to cut off the water supply
of Havana and so serve to make it as
nearly uninhabitable as possible.
It is believed that the insurgents are
bent upon investing Havana by cut
ting off as much as possible the supply
of necessities, though not by actually
besieging it. All fruits and vegetables
and fresh meats are unprecedentedly
| high priced and difficult to obtain, and
milk is of the poorest, such as is brought
in being much adulterated before it is
| delivered. There is much fever and
smallpox has broken out, which, in the
unwholesome state of affairs, threatens
to become epidemic. Many are suffer
| ing from measles, and there is much in
testinal trouble among the inhabitants
owing to poor and insufficient food.
| The failure of the water supply under
these conditions is dire calamity.
| Madrid, June ia council of Spar
ish generals in Cuba has decided to sus-
pend operations against the insurgents
owing to the rains.

In one of the Canary islands there is
tree of the laurel family that rains
down occasionally in the early evening
quite a copious shower of water drops
from its tufted foliage. This water
often collects at the foot of the tree,
and forms kind of pond, from which
the inhabitants of the neighborhood
can supply themselves with drinking
beverage that is absolutely fresh and
pure. The water comes out of the tree
itself through innumerable little pores
situated at the margin of the leaves.

DIR. WALKER, a prospector in Alaska,
took some horses up with him. AT the
first Indian village the sight of the
horses drove all the dogs howling into
the woods. The children dropped their
rude playthings and fed crying into
the huts. The men and women stood
their ground, although in open-eyed
wonder. After much inducement they
were finally prevailed upon to approach
the horses, and their wonder knew no
bounds. No amount of persuasion
would induce them to mount. They
were the first borses they had ever
seen.

THE effect of terrific wind or a
great fire on the tall business and of
flee buildings of Chicago has been a
subject of serious consideration among
architects and engineers. The st.
Louis cyclone appears to have solved
one end of the problem. The we'll
constructed buildings, with steel slSele-
tons and brick filing, did not suffer.
Two or three tall buildings, of which
Chicago architects made the plans and
superintended the construction, were
in the direct pathway of the storm.
They were not seriously affected, while
the low, cheap structures around them
became heaps Of ruins.
