from a Difficult Spot.
He had deposited his ticket in the
box on the downtown station of the
Sixth avenue 81" road at Fiftieth street
early one morning, and was counting

and niclels. A quarter fell from his
hands and rolled along the platform
until it lodged under the raised steps
which form the edge of the platform.
There it lay in plain view, but as unob-

rage, says the New York Mail and Ex-
press.

THE THREE FRIENDS EXPERIENCE.
Story of Her Fight With Spanish War
ships Denied in Havana.

CINCINNATI. Dec. Pa special to the
Commercial Tribune from Key West says
Much comment was made today in
Havana over the report cabled from New
York that the filibustering steamer
Three Friends had been fired on by
Spanish cruisers, and that the steamer
had disabled Spanish gunboat. This
report is positively denied in official Cir
cles, who affirm that nothing of the kind
occurred, but that the story is made
from whole cloth. 1t is admitted that
the steamer landed on the south
side of the island. It is further admitted
that only part of the cargo was secured
by Gomez, the Spanish coast guard hav-
ing captured good portion. The
Three Friends is here, lying under the
guns of the Raleigh. Captain Lewis re-
fuses to say anything about the trip,
save that he had been after derelicts.
As to the story of a fight, he processes
ignorance. None of the crew can be in
duced to speak of the affair. The vesst
does not bear any mark of conflict. and
the report is doubted here.
HAVANA, Dec. 25.-Inquiries in official
quarters by the correspondent of the AS
sociated Press elected a denial of the
story published in the United States,
that the flibustering steamer Three
Friends fred upon a Spanish guard
steamer and a Spanish gunboat.

New YORK, Dec. 26.-A special from
Key West to the World says:
Steamship passengers say that Gener-
al Rivera, who is in command of the
army of Maceo, has sent formal warn
ing to General Weyler, General Rivera
notified the Spanish captain-general that
if he persisted in his threats to kill pa
cificos found in the country, the Cubans
will make reprisals on all Spaniards
whom they may capture.
General Weyler is affecting to disre-
gard the warning. Those near him how
ever, cay he will not dare to carry out
his ideas as ruthlessly as he intended.
His guerillas still have full authority to
capture or to kill pacificos in. the coun-
try and to force their families into the
garrisoned towns. AS the troops in such
places have little extra food and the re-
sidents none to spare, this order, lays a
great hardship upon the poor country
folk. Hundreds will soon be starving.
General Rivera is moving out of his en-
trenchments. All indications point to
an important engagement soon.
General Weyler has visited various
points on the trocha and San Christobal.
He is always accompanied by a large
force.
There is skirmishing daily along the
trocha and on the outskirts of Artemisa.
A battle has been fought in Santa
Clara province between guerilla bands.
The Cubans forced the Spanish to retire
into Remedies with heavy loss.
Regia, across the bay from Havana,
was attacked again last night almost un.
der the guns of the fortress. Several
houses were burned and running fight
maintained for two hours.
The fighting around the city greatly
alarms the residents. The troops night
watch in the suburbs have been doubled.

scare on Wednesday. A large ST. Ber-
nard dog belonging to Mr.. w. c. Moore,
near Midway, went mad, and bit several
dogs in the neighborhood. The st. Ber-
nard was finally killed about two miles
above Raphine. One OF the dogs he bit
went mad, and bit several other dogs ana
heifer the next day. The farmers in
the neghborhood are very much exercised
over the affair, as IL is not known just
how many Of the stock in the vicinity
were bitten.

Court to advertise for bids for the erection

McKINLEY AND THE PUBLIC
 SCHOOLS,

On page $50 of the life of William Me- Kinley. IT,, published by Hamilton Publishing Company of Cincinnati, is given an extract from a speech delivered at Canal Fulton, O., August 30, 1887, by MT. Wm. Mckinley, es follows:
 "An open school-house, free to all, evidences the highest type of advanced civilization. It is the gateway to pro- gress, prosperity and honor. and the best security for the liberties and in- dependence of the people. It is the strongest rock of the foundation, the most enduring stone in the temple oi liberty-our surest stay in every storm, our present safety, our future hope.
 Within Its jurisdiction all distinc- tions, feocisl, political and religious, are banlshed, all differences hushed, all barriers removed. It recognizes neither party not church, creed. condition nor station; but free as the air we breathe it's bounties and benefits fall in like measure upon sll."
Arizona weekly citizen., 1896-05-23

IT is reported that number of capi- talists of New Bedford, Msss., are about to engage in venture which will bring them into direct competition with Eng fish capitalists in 8 field which they have never heretofore encroaohed upon. They are sending 8 trading expedition to South Africa, and claim to have an abundance of money at their immediate disposal. The expedition will carry materials for the construction of a large fire proof warehouse at Cspetown, which will serve ss base of operations in the interior. While the exact nature of trading is not made public, it is hinted strongly that prospecting for precious metals and stones will occupy consid- erable portion of the time. Several ex- pert asssyists and minerslogists are to accompany the party.

r IT is exceedingly strange to what ex- tent unjust criticism can be carried and how absolutely conscientious effort can go uprecognized. It must be conceded by the most prejudiced mind that Hon. N. O. Murphy. during the time he has represented Arizona in congress, has accomplished as much. if not, more than any other representative the terrl- tory has ever had. In spite of the strenuous opposition to the admission of any more Rotten Boroughs," as Boston calls rs. MT. Murphy has suc- ceeded in keeping the matter Of state hood so prominently before congress, and has so ably presented her claims for admission, that bills have been re. ported favorably. In addition to this his untiring devotion to each and every vital interest of the territory has created debt of gratitude which the loyal oiti- gems of Arizona should take care is paid before it becomes outlswed.
