CUBAN WOMEN WAR
A SECOND JOAN OF ARC LEADING
A BAND OF THE INSUR-
GENTS.
REBELS RAID cALVARIo,
PRESSING AGAIN CLOSE UPON THE
SUBURBS OF THE CITY OF
HAVANA,
SLAUGHTER AT SAN CR1sToBAL.
Agent of Maceo Succeeds in Escap-
ing the Spaniards and Reach
ing Key West.

HAVANA, Feb. 9-Last night the
insurgents entered the village of Cal
varlo, fifteen miles from Havana, and
burned the records there, and captured
two policemen. This morning they
went in the direction of Cotoro. When
Gen. Marin arrived at Candelaria after
the attack of Maceo upon that town
had been repulsed, he offered his con-
CALCULATIONS to the garrison and to the
people upon their heroic defense He
offered a title to the town and decor
ated all its defenders with the red
cross Of military merit, and those
amongst the garrison who had most
distinguished themselves he decorated
with the cross of San Fernando. 1t
is now reported that members of the
garrison, which consisted of 700 volun-
teers, saw 10000 cavalry passing Can
delaria from a church tower in the
village. A letter signed by Maceo and
Miro was then written to the colonel
Of the volunteers, Ahumara, and to the
priest demanding the surrender of the
village, which was refused. 1t Is ad-
mitted that, Notwithstanding the de-
tense offered, several of the insurgents
succeeded in entering to town and
burned six houses before the column
or Col. Canella came to the assistance
or the hard-pressed garrison. Several
OF the insurgents were found dead in
the church yard.
Col. Canella has been the recipient of
some not very gentle attentions from
the so-called Amazons, who are in the
field with the insurgents. Recently he
saw one Of these women warriors rid
ing on horseback with her hair stream
ing down her back, and she called upon
the men who were following her to
fire upon the troops
Gen. Marin, with the column of Com
ella, arrived at Artemisa, and had an
escort of two squadrons from there 10
Guanajay.
AT 6 O'Clock this morning a train
running towards Havana was derailed
at Govea. Several cars were DESTROYED
The accident was believed to have
been due to the bad track, but another
train arrived at Havana having on
board colonel, chief of staff and
Maj. Suarez Inclan
In the engagement between Col. Sc
gura and the insurgents under Maceo
at San Cristobal, the troops lost three
of1lcers killed and three wounded.
Among them was Capt. Gil de Gil. who
was distinguished for his talent. Sew
efal soldiers were killed and FORTY
wounded
At Rio Seco the insurgents have
hanged two defenseless men. They
have burned the Central plantation at
Esperanza Cardenas, with a loss of
S4oo'ooo. At San Juan Martinez they
nave hanged five farm laborers, and
nave Killed with a machete boy four
teen years old. At Las Cruces they
hanged Sebastian Torres, who left nine
children orphans.
AT Vuelta Abeljo, thirteen members
OF the band of Eulogio Garcia sur
rendered to the authorities, and were
afterwards set at liberty.

ANOTHER CHAPTER OF WRONGS.

ANOTHER CHATTER OF WRONGS.
In our special correspondence from
st. Hilaire this morning appears a
detailed statement Of the prosecution
Of one Of the wheat buyers for an ele-
vator company, which is worth study
ing in full because 1t shows the meth
DDS which are adopted in the purchase
Of grain from the farmers and the
cruel and relentless grip in which the
agent Is held. 1t is q convenient trick
to transfer the responsibility for such
action to a distant corporation, which
can exact the uttermost and play the
tyrant at it's will without fear Of the
bitter public feeling which such
course is sure 70 arouse. The bond
guarantee company which assures the
elevator company against loss assumes
the odium and pushes the unhappy
buyer to the wall. We think that the
people of Minnesota have only to read
this story, the main incidents Of which
are taken from papers of court record,
to feel a righteous wrath stirring with
in them at the wrongs that have teen
perpetrated for SO long without him
drance and almost without remedy.
How many more men there are whose
experience has been similar to that Of
Eickhoff, it is easy to imagine.
Behind the oppression Of the indi-
vidual there stands always The greater
and more gigantic wrong of which it
Is but an incident. This is the estab-
lishment Of a system of handling the
farmers grain which will bring the
elevator companies out ahead in
weights, grades and prices, as surely as
the seasons roll around. g'he legitimate
Purchases must be so made that the
houses will be The gamers thereby;
and it is matter Of common knowledge
that some Of the elevator companies
make immense profits merely out Of the
difference between the quality and
quantity Of the grain as reported to
the farmer and settled for with him,
and as 1t appears after passing into
the terminal markets. We see here
how 1t is that the elevator business
has been able to make profits Of 80
per cent per annum; how men WHO
have gone into the business have
amassed great fortunes; how COMPARE
lively insignificant companies grow in
few years to corporations OF i'm
mense wealth md power; and how 1t
is that they are able to wiring these up-
earned profits from the earnings Of the
FARMER. 1t Is a shameful story, from
beginning to end. Ne mistake rhe
temper Of our people if they do not
solemnly determine. that the practices
here set forth shall come to sudden
and peremptory end.

At the Grand-0The A1sat,,n,

The Alsatian,' in which Charles 2.
Ellls and company opened a weeks en-
gagement at the Grand opera house

OF the Irish, German, and Fritz Emmett

the players through Antrim and the

ruined abbey, the baronial estate. and
the Giants causeway make up a pretty

by Miss Lottie Vincent, who owned the

dramatic burlesque, combined with
dancing and an occasional handspring.

Some Irish dancing and singing are

Miss Clara Moore sings some sweet
ballads, and Miss Mabel Gardner Is a

A rare bit of cockney dialect is
thrown into the minor part of the En-
glish gypsy by William Muldoon. The
scenic triumph of the piece is the ex-
plosion of the old mill at the end of
the second act, but last night, on ac-
count probably of green stage hands,
the destruction of the massive walls
was brought off quite clunsily. Same

LONDON. Feb. 1O.-The Times has
an article this morning on the mans Of
Hon. Cecil Rhodes in South Africa oF
which 1t says: THE first chantar in
the scheme is the creation. Under q
British administration, Of a British
johannesburg in Rhodesia. Mr.
Rhodes believes that the mineral
wealth of Rhodesia justifies a reason
able hope that within five years the
population of Rhodesia will exceed
that Of the existing Uitlander popula-
ton Of the Transvaal In addition to
splendid climatic advantages, experts
believe that the plateaus of Mashona-
land and Matabeleland are highly min
eralized. Coal exists in enormous
quantities 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, coffee, tea and
spices, and possibly cotton"
The Times says in an editorial on
Mr.. Rhodes plan:
The foregoing grand scheme rests
wholly upon the condition that gold
can be found. If it fails, the scheme
must fail too"
Mr.. Chamberlain has Professionally
decided that nothing has happened
necessitating other than such slight
notifications in the terms Of the char
ter of the South African company as

WITH MUFFLED FEET.

In the movements Of cavalry in the
a bridge is to be crossed, the hoofs of
the horses are wrapped with pieces Of
blankets so that their tread shall not
disclose their proximity to the foe.
The presidential possibilities and prob
abilities among the Republicans have
taken their cue from the practice Of
the cavalrymen. The silver bridge lies
on their route Of march to the White
house. Their enemy is the silver ele-
ment in their party. If they can be
flanked without alarming them, If the
bridge can be passed without their
knowledge, the chances Of getting to
the coveted destination will be greatly
improved. So every one Of them, every
Tom and Bill and Dick and Harry of
them, has swathed his feet in blankets,
and each is treading his way as 81
lently as if he were walking on a path
paved with eggs.
No word has escaped the padlocked
lips Of Reed to indicate where he is on
the currency or silver question. He
did throttle the senate's free coinage
bill in the Fifty-first congress, an act
he now probably regards as indiscreet;
and a year or two ago he did advocate,
in magazine article, the use of
tariff tax to force England to bimetal-
ism. But since then there have come
improved prospects Of Republican sue
cess this year, and Tom would not

Secretary ]. Sterling Morton, in the three
years he has been at the head OF the depart
ment of agriculture, has saved to the gov
eminent and the people from the appro-
priations made for the support of his de-
partment the large sum of 81, $50 900. This
is a larger saving than may appear. The
agricultural department receives very small
appropriations compared with most other ex-
ecutiye branches OF the government. They
will average less than $300O,OO0 a year.
Morton has saved to the public treasury
over Is per cent of the money placed at his
disposal. where the rule is to spend every
cent. And we have yet to hear that the
efficiency of the department and its useful
ness have in any way been impaired.
1t is now proposed by the house commit
tee to devote the sum saved by Mr.. Morton
to the construction of a building for the
agricultural department adequate to it's
wants. If such a building is needed, the
money Morton saved could not be put to
more appropriate use. The building would
stand a monument to the superior hon
esty and efficiency and loyalty TO public
trust of this public servant. 1t would stand
also to future generations as a crushing
answer to the earnings of garden-seed states

miles, Charles Roberts, his wife and three
children have returned to their old home, In

Tor of Texas. Roberts moved to Texas several
years ago, and engaged in business. He
failed and started to return home but had
no money to pay railroad fares. Last summer
he started to walk the entire distance, with
his family. The youngest child is boy seven
years old, and the other children, boy and
a girl, are twins, twelve years old. The hus-
band had a little money, and the farmers
along the route treated them with great kind

at Duluth was decided to be unconstitutional,
as the elevator would have been controlled
by the wheat ring which is true. The whole
mass of legislation regulating wheat handling
and storage and grading. with which the
farmers have been deceived, has been mainly
in the interest of the wheat ring at terminal
elevators In fact the farmers are paying

these officials are protecting their interests,
whereas they are simply playing into the pock-
