THE NEWS OF The CITY.
PROPOSITION TOR ELE=TRr=
LIGHT PLANT.
-Acrz DvzENEA1T1T TINED R35
AND COSTS.

Mayor st. Lawrence, while in
Portland few weeks ago, called
upon the General Electric Light
company in regard to the putting
in of light plant at Pullman. The
proposition is to combine an elec-
trio light plant with the water
works system, one engineer to op-
crate both, the boiler capacity be-
ing ample. 1he light plant to be
paid for from a portion of the pro-
ceeds, each month, till all is paid.
Travelling Agent Cranston, repre-
senting the Portland company, was
here Thursday looking over the
ground in reference to the PROPOSE
ton, and on his report will rest the
action of the company. We under
stand he was favorably impressed
with the idea, and on his return to
Portland written proposition will
be forwarded by the company. 1t
is to be hoped that the proper ar
aangements can be made, and the
plant paid for from the proceeds.
In this way the city would ulti-
mately own the plant, when it
would prove a source of revenue.
The cost of running a combined
water and light plant would not be
much greater than the cost of oper-
ating one alone.
Judge Sullivan fined Jack Buh-
mann, who was found guilty Of
assault and battery committed up
on one Johnson, $35 and costs last
Wednesday. Buhmann gave bonds
for the payment of the fine within
6O days. Fred Buhmann's attor-
neys haue asked for a new trial,
which will doubtless be granted on
account of certain Irregularities in
the late trial. One of the jurors
now admits having conversed with
witness during the progress of
the trial. Judge Sullivan gave the
prosecuting attorney great scor-
ing for bringing these petit cases
before the superior court. The hear
ing on the application for new trial

Spanish Troops Are Said to Have
Been Moved in That
Direction,
Which Is Taken to Mean They
Are Retreating Before
Insurgents.
There Has Been Fighting Near
Havana and Some Have
Been Killed.

HAVANA, Jan. 3.-An engagement
between the Spanish troops and insur-
gents has taken place at Ell Estante,
south of Alfonso XII, and not far from
the frontier of the Province of Havana.
The official announcement says that the
troops captured the insurgent positions,
but that the loss to the enemy is not
known. 1t is admitted that two Span
ish officers and four soldiers were killed
and fourteen were wounded. The in
surgents, following their usual tactics,
did not accept a decisive engagement,
but after the skirmish, proceeded west
ward, devastating the country as they
marched onward. The authorities
here, in announcing this skirmish.
added the significant statement that
1.-The troops were moved closer to the
Province of Havana which would
seem to indicate that the Spanish forces
are once more in retreat.
More Fighting and Further Retreat.
Later in the day it was announced
here that further fighting between the
Spaniards and the Cubans is taking
place in the vicinity of Ell Estante,
which with the announced movement
of the Spanish troops "closer to the
frontier of Havana" leads people here
to believe that the insurgents have been
in pursuit of the Spanish troops in that
vicinity. The latter are commanded
by Colonel Galvis, who was also in
command Of the troops first engaged in
the vicinity of Ell Estante, which seems
to be a confirmation of the suppositior
that the Spaniards were worsted anC
that the Cubans are making for the
frontier of the province Of Havana, in
spite of all the statements to the con
trary.

Superior Duluth-The output this

ST.. PAUL, Jan. 3 Hon. Charles r.
Conner, regent of the Pullman Agricul.
tural College CT the State of Washing
ton, has been in the city a few days On
his way to the national capital. Mr..
Conner would not speak of his mission,
but it probably has to do with the Col
vile Indian reservation, just across the
line from which there is rich gold
county.
"Something will have to he done
with the reservation soon,' said Mr..
Conner. The great riches uncovered
by the miners north of the boundary
have made 1t clear that in the saIne for
nation to the south there is much
wealth, and when you find natural con-
ditions that promise like those, you
can't keep the whites out very long.
Candidly, ! believe that the wealth of
the Kootenay country is equal to that
of Cripple Creek, and if there is an.
other great gold field developed on
this continent, it will be there.
