BRADLEY JOHNSON CHALLENGED.
A Retired Spanish Army Omcer

A Retired Spanish Army Omcer
Makes Himself Ridiculous.
Havana July 7.-Gen Bradley Johnson,
a New York correspondent here, has been
challenged TO fight duel by retired
Spanish military officer, who was
offended at Gen Johnson's pub
llshed correspondence about the
Spanish army. The challenger finds
himself in a somewhat ridiculous posi-
tion as the officers in active service re-
fuse TO recognize him as their champion.
Gen johnson, who is an ex-officer of the
confederate army, has seen much of war;
is in no wise troubled over the Vaporngs
of the self-constituted champion of the
honor of Spanish officers. He says that
If his statements are such as to render
necessary a meeting on the field of honor
he is perfectly willing TO fight when the
proper person to meet him is decided
upon. The incident is the main topic OF
conversation at the clubs and cafes, but
it is believed that it will not lead to any
duel.
News was received here to-day that I'M
known parties have burned the Santa
Barbara estate, near Baro, province OF
Matanzas. The estate is owned by Sena-
tor Manuel Coronado editor Of La Dis
cussion. The damage is estimated at $780,
900.
