HE WOULD GIVE AN ARM

FOR a Sight OF His Couutry's Flag Once
More, Says Owen Milton, A Prisoner In
Cuba-How Gen. OIivsra, Governor of
Cabanas Fortress, Tried to Bulldoze Him
into Revealing the Name of a Letter
Writer.
New YORK, July "A Herald special
rom Key West. Fl a., says:
There was a sensational scene in the
cabanas fortress, Havana, on June 13,
IN which Owen Milton. the American
captured on the Competitor, and Gen.
0livera. governor of the prison, were
principals. Gen. Olivera had received
an anonymous letter from Key West
for [iiltSn containing $40, and had
summoned the prisoner to his
office. Describing what happened,
Milton, in a letter to Il friend
lere says: Gen. 0livera showed the
General Lee wanted to know the name
Of the writer. | refused TO disclose
the writer's name, and Gen. Olivera
threatened to run his sword through
ne. Again he demanded the writer's
name. l told Olivera l would fur
nish it to Gen. Lee in person.
The Spaniard saw hat I had
penetrated his purpose, and stormed
IN a terrible swinging his
sword about my head. Finally he
ordered me back to the prison, telling
the guard not to let me escape. Olivera
used Lees name without authority and
[ have learned he has tried to trap
other prisoners in a similar manner"
Milton says new prisoners are being
thrust into the Cabanas daily. Almost
every new prisoner has a story of al
legged Spanish atrocities to relate. Clip
rian Perez, n of tho late arrivals,
tells Of an alleged massacre near
Cuanajay. Spanish guerrillas, the
prisoner says, raided an estate
near that place on June 90, burning
buildings and shooting Jose Gonzalez,
Serafin ~Caravaja, Pedro HanerO, Jose
Castro, Juan Gonzalez, Meregito Perez
md Julian Castenada. Perez also re-
ports hat two women were killed.
Milton says he fears he will never

ST. LOUIS, July United States Sc,

ton OF Chief ~llazen, this morning made
an important series OF arrests
in the persons Of DR.. Matilda

father of Mrs. Walter, Ralph CreeSe,

the home Of Mrs. Walter there was
captured a complete counterfeiting
outfit. consisting of photo engravings
of a so bill. some of the bills, the cop
per plates and all the necessary para
phernalia for etching the plates.
This is the most important counter
feiters' capture that the secret service
has made in years, and is the result of
weeks of hard work on the part OF the
ablest detectives in the secret service
of the government.
The gang is credited with having
foated the most perfect imitation of a

of the ablest bank cashiers and re-

II TRUTH OF 1T.
A Banished Newspaper Artist Gives aa
Inside View OF Cuban Affairs.

A Banished Newspaper Artist Gives an
Inside View of Cuban Affairs.
New YORK, July Thomas r.
Dawlcy, Jr., an artist from Harper
Bros, sent to Cuba some five months
ago, arrived here this morning on tine
steamer Orizaba. Nh. Dawley. when
seen by = United Press reporter said
that the situation in Cuba was the
same when he left that it hG,: been for
the past six weeks. Tie insurgents
still occupied 4 large portion Of the
island and seem to be equal in
strength to any OF the Spanish
troops yet sent there. The real var
seems to be between Gen. Wcylcr and
the newspaper correspondents On the
island, said Mr.. Dawley. lie described
MORO castle as being worse than any
prison he had ever seen. He claims
that a force SEN against any OF Gen.
Weyler's troops with a few dollars
worth of fireworks would capture any
fort in their possession, as the Span
iards are the greatest lot of towards
ever sent on 4 field of battle. As IL
stands at the present time, it looks as
though neither of the forces are anX.
iOus to fight a decisive battle. The
Cubans seem &c be waiting IN hopes
of some favorable action on the part
of the United States.
The battles which the Spaniards re-
port as having taken place between
Spanish troops and insurgents are
nothing more than attacks by the
troops upon defenseless farmers,
which are afterward reported as vic,
~torious engagements with the insur.
gents.
Mr.. Dawley says that the insurgents
have food, clothing and ammunition
enough to last them a year, and from
present indications the Spanish will
never again have entire control of the
VIII ole island.

A LIVELY BATTLE

Between the Sheriff and the Mob a
Borea, Ozone Striker Killed and One
Wounded-Women Put y Party of Depu-
ties to F~light-Militia Promptly Called
Out, and Serious Trouble with the En-
ragged Populace Feared.
CLEVELAND, o., July 1.-The strike
at the quarries of the Cleveland Stone
Co. to-day resulted in the shooting to
death of Vinton Machusski and the
w~ounding Of John Melosky, who can
not survive the night. Joseph Wanx.
oaski and Antonio Totak sustained
desh wounds which are not serious.
The battle between Sheriff Leek
with 40 deputies and 200 strikers oc-
Cured at Westview. three miles from
Berea. The mob had driven out the
workmen, and when the sheriff ar
rived he ordered the mob to disperse.
They refused, and a shot was. fred at
Deputy Carman. The sheriff then or
dered his men to fire, and about sixty
shots were exchanged before the mob
fed. Machusski was helped to Berea,
where it was found he had been shot
from the back through his left lung.
He died shortly after noon.
While the sheriff was fighting this
battle the women assaulted another
party of deputies at the scene of yes
terday's riot, and put them to flight.
The sheriff early in the afternoon
asked for troops, and Co. F, of Cleve-
land, and d, of Berea, were called out,
Col. KEENAN, of the Fifth regiment be-
ing now in charge.
Henry Smith, the deputy who Ma
chusski, in his ante-mortem statement,
accused of firing the fatal shot, was
arrested and brought to the Cleveland
Jail.
The streets are guarded tonight by
deputy sheriffs and the militia. The
people are wild with rage, and it is
feared serious trouble will occur to-
morrow, as the company is determined
to make an effort to start men to
work.
