SOME SPANISH VICTORIES.

Investigation Showed Them To Be
Wanton Butcheries.
Havana, June 20, via Tampa, Fla,
June 1S.-Saturday, the 9th, the par
ties of Eduard Garcia and Sanguilly
routed the Valencia battalion near
Union de Reyss. with loss of "a dead
and a great number of wounded. In
their fight the soldiers left a consid-
cradle quantity of arms and ammuni-
ton, among which were two cases of
cartridges. Col. Forts column, which
was travelling on the train blown up
with dynamite near Bermsjat, lost Ia
dead and Is wounded. Enrique Col
laSe and Pedro Nasquez are lowering
around BOlondron, MatanZas Province
with 1900 men, waiting for the arri-
val of Marjia Rodriguez from CANA
guey or Francisco Carrimue. In
butcheries here are a few authentic
cases:
In Sabanilla, Matanzas Province on
the 9th inst. two young ladies named
Fernando Vega and Manuel Jimenex,
were taken from their homes in the
town and killd in the fields near by
without any apparent reasons save for
the pleasure of killing and for Span
iards to satisfy their thirst for blood
on defenseless people, whose solecrime
lies in their bearing the Cuban stamp
on their faces.
The mayor of the same town of Sa-
banilla named Vincent Orriole and a
captain of the local guerilla" with a
section of the same while marching
through the sugar and estate Carmen
belonging to Mr.. Alfredo Hernandez,
came across four laborers, who were
quietly sowing corn in a patch of
gfound and without provocation, fired
on the poor wretches, killing them out
right, leaving their bodies to be de-
voured by the buzz ards and dogs.
Here are the names of the victims:
Federico Garcia, FlOreicio Yorjas,
Secundino Hernandez, Sisto Morenjon.
Two days before the same guerillas
killed tenant of the estate named
Celetinio Cruz, father of IA children of
which two daughters are married to
corporals in the Spanish army, one a
civil guard and the other of the regu,
lar troops.
They also burned the farm houses
of the tenents of that same estate
belonging to Federico and Mamon
Banera, Bros and Ysidro Sanchez
all white men of some means, saying
that since the rebels are burning
Spanish toyS1s they would burn Gu,
ban homes. Next day they returned
and threatened the tenents and the
man in charge of the estate that they
would burn all the buildings if they
did not clear out of the place imme,
diately. Mr.. Alfredo Hernandez
the owner being an American citizen
reported the fact to Consul Lee, who
reported the case to General WeyleI
and it is said orders were issued to
protect the property and stop commit

CYCLE NOTES.

Roads to the country are good.
The best valve is not a cheap one.
Galveston has made q mistake in
putting crushed shells in cement for a
track. The sharp shells cut the tires.
This the Galveston people promise to
correct.
A good many of the gentler sex
who ride wheels, by night or day,
need some instruction as to the rules
Of the road. Keep to the right and
give vehicles and cyclers chance.
Don't hog the road because you are. a
woman.
A married ladies' wheeling club is
among the certainties Of the near fu-
ture in our city.
Hackmen, milkmen and butchers
who fail to observe the rule to keep to
the right, particularly in turning corn
ers, should be taught sound lesson
before the courts.
Wheelmen are becoming very bitter
at the pigheaded huckster wagon driy-
ers who hog the road in the residence
portion and will not give an inch of II
to the cyclers they meet
The Bexar Athletic Club auxiliary
starts with bright prospects. 1t is, in
part, the outgrowth of the recent inn
petus to wheeling afforded by the big
race meet
Cyclists are learning to distinguish
the careless drivers who take the
wrong side of the street, try to run
them down, and in various ways to
annoy them, and some fine day the
courts may be invoked and the wheel
riders rights asserted.
New Orleans wheelmen have estab-
lished a fine club house or Wheelmen's
Rest out on the West End road. and
1t has been finally appointed through
out and supplied with a custodian and
matron for the wheelwomen. San
Antonio cyclers could easily get togeth
er and establish at little cost a club
house, either on the Austin crossing of
the Salado, OF at Southwestern ark.

HON. WIN. MKINLEY, JR.
His Charming Personality. Habits
and Manners


Mr.. Mckinley has charming per-
sonality. He is courteous and affable
always, but he possesses a dignity of
mind and department that precludes
any attempts at offensive familiarity.
He has beeh endowed with a magnifi-
cent constitution, which has never
been impaired by eXcesses. He seems
to be devoid of nerves, and seldom
shows excitement, never nervousness.
He is under rather than above the
medium height His broad shoulders
betoken strength, and his ample girth
a love of the good things of life. In his
case good digestion waits on appetite
and health on BOTH He sleeps well
and never worries, consequently his
form is erect, his hair shows but few
traces of frost, and his eyes are clear
and bright. He is seldom liz. His face
has not been his fortune. but it has
been great aid to him. His forehead
is full and broad, the deepset, piercing
eyes, gray-blue, look almost black be-
meath the heavy jet eyebrows. The
features are clearly cut, and the jaw
is square and massive. His facial re-
semblapce to Napoleon has been often

commented upon, but his face sug-
geSts the Great COmmOner Of MasSa-
chusetts, Daniel Webster, more than
the self-made Emperor of France. He
is fond of society and of congenial
cOmpaniOnship. In his intercourse
with ladies he exercises n courtesy
which unfortunately has become ''old-
fashioned"
He is a delightful cOnversationalist,
talking on many subjects and Illus
trating the points he makes with apt
stories or illustrations drawn from
his long experience in public life and
among public men. He is as chart
table as his means will permit, and
frequently exceeds that limit. His
sympathies are easily aroused, and
that fact has made the opportunity
of the countless beggars who used to
abound in the vicinity of the Ohio
state house when he was governor.
He drinks no intoxicating liquors, but
he is an inyeterate smoker and an ex-
pert judge of good cigar. He is al
ways clothed in black. His coat is of
the Prince Albert pattern, usually
worn buttoned across the breast. In
summer he occasionally wears a
straw hat. He is fond of the theatre
and of music. Flowers are a passion
with him. He keeps his muscles hard
and his health good by taking long
daily walks, never omitted when OPP
portunity offers. AS a public speaker
he does not have to scream himself
hoarse to win attention. His presence
commands it. His voice is of tenor
quality, but full and vibrant. His
speaking manner Is original and defies
the rules of the teachers of elocution,
but it is none the less effective. He
uses few gestures, talks slowly and
forcibly, in words of common use and
few syllablesJ However abstract may
be the theme or exaulted his ideas,
his language is never above the heads
of his auditors. His enunciation is
almost perfect. He is perfectly al
home on a train. He sleeps, reads
talks, shayes with as much ease as II
he were in his own apartments. And
all this has enabled him to surpass all
records in the way of speaking tours
in the number of miles Travelled
speeches made and people addressed

CaPes and Jackets VIII Both BE Worn,
with the Latter In the Lead.
It is too early for genuine novelties in
spring wraps which can be accepted as
the reigning style of the season, but .
few models which are at least new may
serve as suggestions of things to come
Capes and jackets will both be worn,
and the latter, cut with loose fronts and
sack back, seem destined 10 lead the
styles in coats. They are made in
smooth-faced cloths and in velvet as
well, when the yoke is usually trimmed
with jet. The plated back is much
more graceful than the straight cut,
and the yoke of the velvet coat is COW
cred with colored silk passementerie,
while accordioh-plaited chiffon forms
the epaulets and full neck ruche.
Another coat of black cloth is slightly
curved at the side seam to fit in 10 the
figure, and the fullness is arranged in
two decided box plaits. The epaulets
are of white satin, closely beaded with
black. Capes are cut reasonably full
and more sloping on the shoulder TO
hang gracefully over the dropping
sleeves, and finished at the neck with 4
ruche of ribbon and chiffon, unless
made Of cloth, when they have a high
standing collar. One model is carried
out in black duchess satin. decorated
with applique figures of colored passe-
menterie, and has V of black velvet
down the back and front, edged with
a frill of black killed chiffon.
The second cape rs decidedly a sum-
mer garment, and is made Of gauzy
black grenadme over black glace silk
lining. Chine SIX flowers are applied
at intervals with opal colored beads
and black paillettes, and the rufie on
the edge and ruche around the neck are
double, of black chiffon over white.
capes are in all the shades
of fawn cloth. stitched around with
white silk, and a stylish high collar is
cut out in squares around the edge,
