STORY OF A HEROINE.
How She Fought and How She Died
for Cuba's Cause.
From the New YorkPress.

From the New YorkPress
Havana, March THE Cuban Amazons
recently have been playing prominent
part in the fights between the insurgents
and the Spanish troops. These women
have exhibited upon frequent occasions
courage. endurance and fighting skill to
a greater extent than many of the men.
Any old thing of a dress contents them,
and they can dispense with shoes, much
less hosiery. They are able to use
machete, rifle, revolver or knife with the
best of men.
There was one who deserves being told
about. She went to the front in recent
engagement between the Spanish troops
and a number of insurgents at Olayita
when the insurgents started to retreat
She was tall, fine looking, bright of eye,
well built and looked heroine from the
top of her bare head to the soles OF her
naked feet. She called first tauntingly and
then in grand despair upon her fleeing
companions to fight like men. They paid
no heed to her, and the Spaniards crept
closer and closer
Then this woman, with her back against
a tree steadily loaded and fired her car
bine taking the cartridges from the bosom
OF the cotton dress, almost the only gar
ment she wore So long as the carbine
worked, she pumped lead at the Spaniards,
keeping them well at bay. But the old
weapon finally got out of order. and she
threw ii away, drew revolver and shout
ed: Long live free Cuba"
The Spaniards seeing the carbine thrown
to the ground made simultaneous dash
forward, firing repeatedly as they did so.
The Cuban woman calmly awaited their
approach, and when they were well within
range of her pistol, the Amazon gave an
other cheer for Cuba and again opened
fire until she fell, pierced by four Maui
ser bullets.
Then there was another rush forward
of the Spaniards, and the dying woman.
half rising with awful difficulty on her
elbow, fired her last shot at the nearest
soldier of Spain, killing him instantly, and
sank to rise no more, with a faint cheer
for free Cuba on her liDs.

The shoulders are longer than in the last

Discovery of Dead body Thought
to HAVE Been Buried

From the New York Journal.
A curious tale comes from France OF a
dead body that was found again in the
room from which it had been taken days
before, supposedly. and Inferred with ali
the solemn rites Of burial
A poor old woman who lived i'm wretch
ed state i'm the village of Portes died not
where she was accustomed to sleep. II
was four days before her death was dis
covered. at the end of which time a search
was made for her by the villagers, who
had missed her from her accustomed
haunts
The mayor was notified and sent the vii
lage physician to investigate. The latter
reported that the old woman had met her
death from natural causes. and prepara-
tons for the burial of the corpse were at
once begun. The undertaken brought the
coffin to the place whore the body lay, but.
feeling that a strict compliance with all
the requirements of the law was the only
safe course for him to pursue, he did
not place the body on it's bier, but left
mayor for a burial permit.
Shortly after the undertaken had de,
parted some monks came with hearse.
The mayor had given these monks the
burial permit in question, and they, hav-
ing other urgent matters which demand
ed their attention, picked up the coffin
huriredly and placed II In the hearse. Then
the funeral cortege, headed by the cure
and followed by some of the town folK,
proceeded to the church. where mass
was said, and thence to the cemetery,
where the interment duly took place
Every one believed that the old woman
had been buried when, twenty three days
later, a man happening TO enter the de-
serted bake house, noticed something UNI
usual in the rags which covered the bed
where the old woman had been accus-
toned to lie. Looking a little closer. to
his surprise and horror he discovered rest
ing there the body of the woman whom
every one supposed to have been buried
nearly a month before. The cold weather
had stayed decomposition, and 1t was well
preserved.
The result is that the mayor, the under
taker. the cure and the monks are all
quaking in their shoe for the project OF
the department has ordered judicial in
vestigation to discover who is to blame,
and threatens to punish severely whoever
is found to be the guilty one.
