SAME OLD STORY OF VICTORIES
By the Spanish Which Have Been Re-
ported Since the War Began.

Havana. Ootob Der 26.-Col Segura has
reported to the government that his COM
mand surprised q body Of rebels at
Garganta Soroa, Province of Pinar Del
Rio, and In the fighting that followed,
four insurgents were killed. The
Spaniards by this victory gained possess
sion of q route to the hills and started to
build trenches to defend their position.
While employed in this work the troops
were continually fred upon by the rebels.
No losses were sustained.
October "a. Col. Segura left tho main
body of his command and with small
force started to reoonnoitre the country.
On his way back he learned that the
Zamora battalion was engaged with the
bells. He hurried to the scene of the
fighing and took part in the oom bas.
The rebels made desperate efforts to
carry the Spanish position and thus open
way for their return to the hills, but
were compelled to retreat closely
followed by the Spaniards. A series of
bloody fights occurred during the two
days of pursuit.
The rebels left sixty one-dead on the
field, but it is believed their losses were
much heavier. The troops lost q
lieutenant and twenty-one privates
killed, and one hundred and ten
wounded. including four captains and
two lieutenants.

Potatoes Go Up.

Bangor, October 26.-A man who ar
rived In Bangor Monday from Aroostook
county said that ON Saturday, potatoes
were selling for rs cents per barrel at
Caribou. They have taken big jump
during the past few days and the farmers
In that section are feeling highly de-
lighted.
We also learn from other trust worthy
sources that buyers from outside the
state are already operating quietly in
several of the towns in North Aroostook,
and buying up considerable quantities at
an advanced price. The yield there is
excellent, and the quality unsurpassed.
Should prices go to 81 or over per barrel,
as now seems not at all unlikely, it
would mean nearly million dollars put
In circulation in Eastern Maine which
would move all other kinds of business
in corresponding ratio and cause
things to hum with activity all winter.

New York. October 26.-P. J. lyman,
the alleged "No. 1"lof the Phoenix Park
murderers, was passenger on the steam
er Saale, which arrived this evening
from Bremen via Cherburg. Mr.. lyman
when interviewed at Quarantine, said
he naturally hesitated to talk for puhli-
cation, even in this country, az 1t was
possible that any utterance by him might
compromise others, and perhaps those
who had been kind to him.
He refused to discuss the purpose Of his
visit to Europe. but stated that his mis-
sion was entirely successful. He ridicules

detectives began to suspect him. He re-
fus ed to say what city he referred to.
His treatment in the French prison, be
stated, was exactly the same as that ao-
corded other prisoners. The sub-prefecs
and all the attaches were very much in

his cause. After his release he went TO

Third Quarterly Meeting at the State
House Yesterday.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1

Augusta Octo Der 26-The third
quarterly meeting of the State Board Of
Health was held ut the office of the
board in the State House at 10 O'Clock
this forenoon. There were present, the
president of the Board, DR.. Charles D.

Robinson Of Brunswick, DR.. M. c.
Wedgwood of Lewiston, DR.. q. M. Wood.
cook of Bangor, DR.. A. X. Smith OF
Whiteield and the secretary, DE-. A. G.
Young of Augusta.
Professor Robinson made further re-
port upon his experiments with formie
aldehyde as practical disinfectant. The
result of such experiments seems to in
dicate that this gas exercises fatal in
fuence upon most forms of bacteria and
promises to supplant sulphurous acid
gas, as an efficient disinfectant.

American Public Health association,

on the same SUBJECTS at that meeting.
Several Investigators are working In
different laboratories in this same line,
but credit must be accorded to our State
Board for Initiating practical series Of
experiments and to Professor Robinson
for cevising and first exhibiting any
practical and satisfactory form of appara.
rus for the generation Of the gas. II
should be understood by the public and
local health boards that the whole
method il far from being perfected.
1t Is probable that the efficiency of the
generator will be increased by further
improvements In Its construction, an6

There was also before the board for dis
cussion, the question of some Legislation
to secure more protection for the publ.

No definite action was taken, the senti
ment of the board being strongly il
favor Of some enactment in the mo-
distant future Of general law providing
for systematic inspection of food products
to guard against authorizations and the
sale ofssarticles unfit for food consumption
or ouher domestic use. law which
might be made to include such legisla

Cornell, lawyer and son of ex-Gov
A. B. Cornell of Hastings, has been ar

Charles Savage, charging Frank Palmer
with both the shooting aud burning of
Mrs. Hobbss"
This question brought from one OF the
county officials, today, the admission of
the belief that Charles Savage told only
half the truth when he made his con-
fession to the coroner's jury, Saturday
afternoon. The people of the neighbor-
ing village feel gratified at the outcome
of the inquest, but they fully expect that
more details will be learned In conneo-
tion with the case before the slayer of
Mrs. Betsy r. Hobbs gets his just
deserts.
The testimony before the inquest will
not be spread before the public till the
expiration of the statutatory limis of it's
concealment, but many new facts of
more or less Importance have been
divulged since the adjournment of the
jury. One of the most important is that
Arthur Savage, ayoungsr brother of
Charles, the alleged accessory was in the
possession of knowledge regarding the
authorship of the crime. After his
brother had confessed, Arthur was re-
called to the jury room, the "screws"
applied and from him was wrung the ad-
mission that he knew who killed Mrs.
Hobbs. He said that when he carried
home the news of the tragedy he met his
brother, Charles, and Frank Palmer in
the potato field at work. Charles was
sent home for some bags, and during his

Canada. Hodgate was indicted for en-
bezzlement from the company, but the

Chicago, October 26.-Fire broke out

burning elevators. but the fire was ex-
singuished after hard fighting. The Ere
started in the engine room of the first
elevator and within 10 minutes the
building was mass of flames. Several
alarms in quick succession were turned
in, but all efforts to save the elevators
were unavailing and the depart mant
turned attention 10 the property adjoin-
ing.
At the property lost was estimated to

1000, 600 capacity, is the regular house,
and holds over 800. 600 bushels of wheat.
and some corn and oats.
The locality Ia as dangerous as could
be selected for big fire. The two Pa
cihc elevators were filed with wheat and
OF themselves would furnish material
for eoodly con fagration. Directly
north is the Armour elevator, the larc-
est in the world, stocked up to the roof
with grain.
Northeast Is the immense mailing

gunshot lie the GOAL she'd and lock of
the Crescent Coal Company, stocked
with thousands of tons of bituminous
coal. The lumber yards in the vicinity
offer more material for blaze in addit-
ion to which there are any nulpbsr of
frame cottages scattered about.
The fire spread to several small frame
buildings owned by the Chicago, Mil

were destroyed. When the walls OF sleva-

gust of wind and blown onward. Tween

ESPECIAL TO THE FRESS.1
Alfred, October 26.-Stiu further light
was thrown on the cowardly murder
of Betsey Hobbs, the aged Parsonsfield
couple of weeks ago, at Alfred Jail this
morning.
Another confession has.been made, this
time bysyoung frank Palmer who was
Saturday accused Of committing this
most oowardly and brutal crime, by
his fovmer chum Charles Savage of
Ef1ngham, N. H.
Pslmer's story differs considerably
from that told by Savage in that it con-
neots the New Hampshire boy much
more closely with the affair than the
latter was willing to admit.
Palmer's story, however, does not soft
en- any of the details of this most recent,
and some respects, most horrible of the
many bloody crimes which have stained
the criminal history of Maine.
Both Savage and Palmer were brought
to Alfred Saturday at the conclusion OF
the inquest and lodged in jail.
This morning when Sheriff Hurd came
to Palmer's cell, the latter asked to see
copy of some paper which contained
an account of his arrest He was given
one, and devoured the printed lines
eagerly. AS he read Savage's confession
he burst into tears.
Sheriff Hurd noticed his emotion and
questioned him sharply, for there was
doubt In the minds of many whether
young Savage had not shielded him.
self somewhat In the story he had told
at the coroner's inquest.
The boy hesitated, but finally broke
down and told his story.
He admitted killing the Widow Hobbs,
but said that Savage in his endeavor to
shield himself had misstated most of
the important particulars.
Savage told me the day BEFORE" he
said to Sheriff Hurd, "tbat the old lady
Hobbs had some money in the houss
which he thought We could get at. We
talked it over and finally made nm ap-
pointmenr to meet the next day. Saw
ages story Of our meeting and visit to
the house Is about as it occurred.
The kindling wood story is also cor
rect. After Savage had carried the
wood into the house we both started for
the well to get some water for her. The
old lady was walking towards the house
when Savage raised the gun to fire at
her. As he was about to pull the trig-
ger his courage failed him and he set il
down.
Then grabbed it and fred. Mrs.
Hobbs fell. We both took hold of her
and dragged her into the house. Then
we set fire TO the buildings. Savage
set three of the fires and also applied
the match 10 the old lady's clothes. We
pledged ourselves to secrecy and left fol
home, as Savage has said."
Palmel's story is regarded as oonsid.
erably more probable than that told by
Savage and In the main is thought to
be true account Of the killing OF Bet
sey Hobbs.
PALMER HAD CONFESSED BEFORE.
Had Told savage's Brother That He
