officer held the witness while two 9th
erlawyers caught Maddox. The jurors
quickly move backed to give the
fighters more room. Two colored ju-
rors broke and ran out into the lobby.
Both of the fighters were badly used

fined the lawyer S5 for not restraining
himself in the presence of the court.
The fines were paid, the blood was
washed off, the fugitive jurors were
recalled and the case proceeded quietly.
- Lieutenant Jose Felix Rios, spe-
cial messenger to the Cuban govern
ment, is in New York on business with
the Junta in that city. He tells a
startling story of desperate battle
that took place in the Rubi Hills of
Cuba, in October. According to Rios,
the Spanish general Melquizo, with
$1,000 men, came suddenly upon
Maceo with 5000 men. Although ap-
parently surprised, Maceo got into
action first and opened upon the Span
iards before they completed the forma-
tion of their line of battle, and moved
down great gaps in their ranks. Then
it developed that Maceo had really
been lying in wait for the Spaniards.
He began to slowly retreat. The
Spaniards followed, and when they
reached the position he had occupied,
there was terrific explosion and the
earth was torn up in great pits and
long trenches. The whole earth had
been undermined with dynamite.
Hundreds of Spanish soldiers were
killed. Maceo continued to retreat,
