Spaniards Sustain Decisive Defeat III
Cuba.
Key West, Fla, July 2O.-Spaniards4
under General Suarez Inclan, have sus-s
tanned a crushing defeat at the hands
OF the insurgents under General Ma
Geo.
Not only was Inclan's column defeat 4
ed with heavy loss, but it is reported n
Havana that the Spanish general him
selI was captured, and is now held as a
prisoner by Maceo.
The battle is said to have occurred on
July Is near Maceo's stronghold In the
province of Pinar del Rio.
For the last two weeks the rebels
have been aggressive, and small par
ties repeatedly have attacked the tro-
cha, causing the Spaniards much an
noyance. General Inclan was ordered
to drive back these bands OF insur..
gents, and for this purpose took with
him 1000 men.
Maceo seems to have expected such y,
movement and arranged to ambush ths
Spanish. He stationed large force in
a favorable position and ordered his de-
tached bands to lead IncIan into tha
trap.
The Spaniards followed the skirnish.
ers incautiously, and fell into the am
bush. Then the Cubans opened fira
from all sides, which threw the Span
iards into confusion.
While the Spaniards were thus dis
ordered the Cubans charged, completes
ly routing their foes. General Incian
made a desperate effort to rally his
demoralized forces, but was surrounds
ed by gCubans and compelled to sur
render.
1t Is said in Havana that the Span
iards were pursued almost to the tro-
cha, and lost more than 300 men, killed
and wounded. There were fourteen Of
ficers among the killed
Cubans here also say that Maceo will
hold Inclan as a hostage to save the
lives Of prominent insurgent officers
who have been captured by the Span
iards. One of those officers is Capote.
If this rebel leader is shot by the Span
ish it Is said that Inclan will meet the
same fate at the hands of Maceo.

at Lincoln.
Lincoln, Neb., July 20.-Fifty Colora-
do delegates to st. Louis came in to-
day, en- route to st. Louis, and called
on Mr.. Bryan Several of the delegates
made speeches and said they were go .
ingto follow his lead In reply Mr
Bryan said:
THE interest 1 have taken in the
money question is not due to the fact
that We are producing silver in this
country. Nor do I believe that those
of you here to-day would have differ
ent opinions if you lived in states
which did not produce silver 1t is not
because we produce either silver or
gold, but because we are in need of
both, that am in favor of the restora-
ton. In so far as you have express I'd
yourselves in terms of personal compli-
ment to me, while l cannot be indiffer-
ent to your kind words, we all know
that this campaign is not going to be
conducted on personal lines. 1 believe
our opponents are men of pure, noble
lives and upright characters. 1t is not
q contest between men.
1t is contest between great prin-
ciples, and if 1 should be elected, and
if Mr.. Sewall should be elected, it will
not be considered a declaration of the
people that we are personally more
meritorious than our opponents 1t
will simply mean that the voters of the
United States believe that our policy is
better for the United States than that
of our opponents. and especially on the
one great question that towers above
and overshadows all the others-the
money question-and that we represent
an American system of finance for the
American people, while our opponents
would have this government run on the
European plan and our financial sys-
tenn run by those who are hostile TO
our interest"

VOTING THE SNOW.
The Prfm aries quite Lively But the
Woman Vote is Light.

Woman Vote is Light.
The Republican city primary is be-
ing held this afternoon. The polls were
opened at 2 p. m. and will close at T.
The voting is very light because of the
storm and the women especially are
neglecting to turn out. The fight on the
school board is having the effect of max
ing the primary a rather lively one; in
the Second and Fifth wards it is very
bitter.
1t is impossible to tell what will be the
result of the fight between the opposing
factions on the question of members of
the school board. There are workers for
the wards are being canvassed by people
with buggies and carriages As one
man said facetiously: this is a campaign
of education. Following are the candi-
dates for the school board in the various
wards:
First ward, DR.. L. A Ryder and s. c.
Miller; Second ward, Jesse Shaw and
John Mckinney; Third ward, S. S. OFT
and Edward Wilder; Fourth ward, J.sH.
Squires and Elias Shull; Fifth ward, I.
A. Beck and Ira Howe.
In the Third ward the name of s. b.
Bradford was allowed to remain on the
ticket, though he announced to his
friends that he had Withdrawn.
Whether her it was the intention
to take advantage of circumstances
or not and keep Nettles' friends at home
the supporters of Nettles have conclud-
ed that is why it was done and they are
getting out as many votes az possible.
Nettles will be nominated beyond a
doubt.
Col. Burgess is in the lead in the
Fourth ward and there is little doubt of
his nomination by handsome majority.
Warner will be nominated in the Fifth.
Following are the candidates for con-
stable and the three receiving the high
est NUM- Der of votes will be the nominees;
Captain ]. 1. Wintrode, w. 81 Williams,

Davies, and Charles Macmillan.

BICYCLE RATES.
Wheels Will Have to Travel
Upon Tickets.
The Western Passenger Associ-
alton Has So Decided.
SMALLEST FARE %
Basis Same as On so Pounds of
Excess Baggage.
Costs 65 Cents for 800 Miles,
$1.85 for a Thousand.

CHICAGO, March 14-Owners of bicy-
cles who intend to make railroad trips
with them this season will have to pay
fare for the wheels as we'll az themselves.
The thirty-twO railroads comprising
the western association have adopted
schedule of bicycle rates, which will be
enforced upon all lines, and hereafter
wheels will enjoy the distinction of tray
cling upon tickets.
The railroads interested in the agree
ment issued notice, accompanied by a
schedule of rates, of their change of
policy, but as it has circulated almost ex-
clusively in railroad circles during the
winter, few of the great army of bicycle
riders have heard anything about it.
e As the wheeling season is approaching
and hundreds of cycles will soon be in
transit on the various roads every day
information about the schedule of rates
that is to be in force will be interesting
to owners of bicycles.
The basis which the charges are
made is the same as for fifty pounds of
excess baggage, and the only arbitrary
feature of the schedule is the minimum
charge of % cents, which will be collect
ed no matter if the wheel is carried only
a mile. 1t will not make any difference
if wheel is offered with other excess
baggage, or whether it is crated-the
only way it can be transported is to be
regularly ticketed, just like an individ-
uaL
The bicycle schedule is fixed accord
ing to the amount of fare riders pay and
not on a mileage basis. Thus, for ex-
ample, if the fare is between 81 81 and
IS, the charge for carrying q bicycle is
81 cents. The scale is progressive, in
creasing at the rate of cents for each
additional charge on the regular rail-
road ticket If the owner of a wheel
pays out a sum between $10.01 and
$1O.S5 for travel he will have to pay IS
cents for his wheel. If the amount is
$50. Oh the cost of shipping the wheel is
$I.25. The highest charge scheduled
tor a cycle is $41O, and the cost of the
railroad ticket for the owner would be
$685. Reduced to a mileage basis it
will cost 90 cents to carry wheel 800
miles, $L85 1000 miles, and % for 1900
miles.

The story of the DoRiphxn minister,
wb@ has preached for year, receiving
only 81 in pay, recalls an incident in the
life of the late Father Leak. He was
minister at Doniphan over twenty years,
and as the people could not afford to pay
him a salary, they tnally gave him the
church He, however, refused TO accept
it
Among the questions to como up at
the general conference in May ia one in
regard to the extension of the time
that a minister is to be allowed to remain
in one place. The present law in force
Is for five years.
The business work of the conference
is progressing SO slowly that the proba-
bilites now are that an adjou rnment
cannot be taken before Tuesday.

POINTER FOR sPoRrsMEN.

Kansas passed game law in 1876 pro-
viding that birds Can not be shipped out

Many years ago when Judge Brewer
was on the stale supreme bench that
court decided the law contrary to the

been a dead letter for about twenty years.
The other day a case was decided in the
Connecticut supreme court in which the
same law was involved, and the Connecti-

Wheat today was dull compared with

SO weak as our yesterdays decline would
warrant. Argentine shipments were

Quite little short wheat put out yes

Crop news is almost uniformly bearish,
