tered tho village of Calyario, 10 miles
from Havana, and burned the records
there and captured two policemen.
Whom General Marin arrived at Cando-
laria, after the attack. of Alnceo upon that
town had been rcpulsed he offered his
congratulations TO the garrison and TO the
people upon their heroic defense. He offer
ed a title to the town and decorated all
its defenders with the red cross of military
merit, and those among the garrison who
had most distinguished themselves lac dec
grated with The cross of san Fernando.
It Is now reported that members Of the
garrison, which consisted Of zoo vulun-
toers saw 10000 cavalry passing Cando-
laria from a church tower IN the village.
A letter signed by Aaceo and Miro was
then written to the colonel of the yolun-
tecrs, Ahumara, and TO tho priest de-
mnnding tho surrender Of the village.

gents succeeded in entering the town and
burned six houses before the column OF
Colonel Canella came to the assistance OF
the hard pressed garrison. Several Of the
insurgents dead were found in the town
churchyard.
Colonel Canella has been the recipient
Of some not very gentle attentions from

OF these women warriors riding on horse

behind her and sho called upon the mcl

LONDON, Feb 1O.-The Times has an
article on the plans of Hon. Cecil Rhodes
in South Africa, Of which it says: 1.-THE
first chapter in the scheme is the creation
under British administration Of q Brit.
ish johannesburg in Rhodesia. Mr..
Rhodes believes that the mineral wealth
of Rhodosia justifes q reasonable hope
that within five years the population Of
RhOdesia will exceed that Of the existing
uitlander population Of the Transvaal. In
addition TO splendid climatic advantages
experts believe that the platcaus Of Mash
onaland and Matabeleland are highly min
eralized. Coal exists in enormous quanti-
ties, and it is supposed that there is gold.
1t is also understood that Mr.. Rhodes
project includes an intention to lead the
way by putting the bulk of his own large
fortune into the local enterprise and also
to encourage the cultivation of wool, cOf-
fee, tea and spice, and possibly cotton"
The Times says in an editorial on Mr..
Rhodes plan: 1.-THE foregoing grandiose
scheme rests wholly upon the condition
that gold can be found. If it fails, the
scheme must fail too.
The Daily News publishes an article by
a person who knows Hir. Rhodes views
and who says that he has abandoned the
plan Of addressing the meeting Of the
shareholders Of the Chartered South AZ
RIGA company because it is undesirable to
prejudice the trials arising out of the
Jameson raid. This writer says that Mr..
Rhodes may probably return to London
in time for the trial.
Mr.. Chamberlain has Professionally de-
cided that nothing has happened necessi
Eating other than such slight modification.
