THE EXECUTION
Of Lieut. Col. Joaquin Riuz by the
Cuban Insurgents.
Detachment of Spaniards Besieged by In
surgents-The Garrison Completely De-
stroyed-Insurgent Loss goo Killed
and Wounded-Spanish Loss 81.

HAVANA. Dec. 20.-The official state
ment as to the execution by the insur-
gents of Lieut.. Col. Joaquin Ruiz SAYS
that he was shot on Friday last by or
der of the insurgent commander, Ale
ianro Rodriguez, with the approval of
insurgent commander, Aranguren.
The general opinion is that it was q
| barbarOuS act.
A Spanish detachment at Guamo. on
the Cauto river, north of Manzanillo,
in the province of Santiago de Cuba,
was besieged. according to the official
account, from November to 10 last,
and valiantly repealed the insurgents.
On November 81 fierce attack was
made ON the fort by large body of in
surgents with two cannon. More than
$50 cannon shots made sieve of the
forts and destroyed factory. Finally
the insurgents got inside the wire
fence around the fort and called on the
garrison to surrender. The garrison,
still, according to the official account,
refused to listen to the demand, and
with heroic pride continued the de-
fense'' until December 10 last.
The insurgents left 26 killed inside
the wire fence and quantity of arms
and ammunition, which the garrison
used, according to the official account,
to prolong its desperate defense. Gen.
Aldave, while accommodating in the
neighborhood, found the bodies of three
other insurgents and many graves.
During the siege and the attack
l. &c 1<1 - IL
fcially asserted 200 killed and wound
ed. The garrison had only six killed
and.31 wounded. But the fort was COM
pletely destroyed and the garrison was
without water, with pestilence all
around and only little pork for food.
Gen. Blanco will recompense the mem
bers of the garrison for their losses.
Gen. Pando and the column under
Col. Bruna, assisted by the gunboats
Dependence, Luisa, Centinala and We
lasquez, found in the River Cauto three
large torpedo and also many small
sunken vessels They destroyed with
dynamite quantity of the effects of
the insurgents at Cienaga Del Buey
and Cayaman.
Gen. Aldave, who left Cauto Del En-
boscadero about the same time, had an
engagement on December at Laguna
De Ytabo, losing 90 killed, among these
two captains, and 95 wounded, among
them doctor and two officers The
insurgents were compelled to abandon
their trenches and retired with large
loss
While accommodating the extensive
zones in that district Gen. Aldave had
one soldier and captain wounded.
A dispatch from Havana says that
while the insurgents report the execu-
ton of Lieut.. Col Ruiz after court
martial, rumors are also current Nat
be is still living.

fire early Saturday morning. Only
the east wing was saved from the

left standing. Besides the damage
to the building thousands of dollars
worth of valuable property belonging
to professors at the college were de-
stroyed by the flames. A heavy portion
falls on j. Madison Porter, professor of
civil and Typographical engineering.
His machinery, instruments, ETC., were
valued at $500 on which there was

NEGRO LYNCHED.
Accomplish of Charley Lewis in the Smith
Family Murder Hanged by a Mob Within
Few Feet of Where Lewis Was Strung


AccompIice OF Charley Lewis in the Smith
Family Murder Hanged by Mob Within
Few Feet of Where Lewis Was Strung
Up.
BROOKHAvEN, Miss, Dec. I7.-An-
other Negro was lynched at Bankston
Ferry, in Simpson county, on Wednes-
day, as an accomplice of Charley Lewis
in the murder of the wife and four
children of Brown Smith on Wednes-
day of last week. For the past several
days a posse of about thirty determined
men have been securing the country in
search of evidence, and Tuesday last
they found a Negro woman in posses
sion of a bloody coat which she claimed
Charley Lewis left with her, request
ing that she lock the coat up in her
trunk until he called for it. The coat
appeared to have been washed but
bloody stains on the right sleeve and
breast still remained. Upon this evil
dence mob of 400 men held another
meeting at Bankston Ferry bringing
before them three Negres, Oscar Fer
rell, Tom Waller and Giles Berry who
were with Charley Lewis the night of
the murder. Oscar Terrell testified
OO1OAC C1AO Lewis,
Giles Berry, Tom Waller and himself
went TO church across the river on the
night of the murder. On returning
Charles Lewis stopped at a Ne
gro house, the other three pro-
ceeding to cotton house
where they had been stopping. Char
| ley Lewis soon overlook them and all
retired together. Lewis and Waller
did not remain long and left them
| about two o'clock, returning just at
break of day with some fresh meat and
remarked that they had killed Brown
| Smiths wife and four children because
she refused to cook them a meal. They
| threatened the witness and Giles Berry
with instant death if they mentioned
| the matter.
Giles Berry denied the statement,
but Oscar Terrell made public declara-
ton that it was true.
| The mob became Infatuated and
placed a rope around Tom Walters
neck and dragged him up the hill and
hanged him within few feet of where
Charley Lewis was hanged several DAYS
ago. Waller protested to the last
that he was innocent, but it did no

THE RUSSIANS,
It is Reported, Have Taken Posses
sion of Port Arthur.
The HarbOr is Free From Ice the Year
Round, Which is Not the Case With Via
livestock, Present Headquarters of
the Russian Fleet in the East

LONDON, Dec. 2O.-A dispatch to the
Standard from Vienna says it is ru-
more there that the Russians have oc-
cupied Port Arthur.
Port Arthur, which is situated at the
extremity of Leao-Tong peninsula, has
practically been in the hands of Russia
for some time past. After the Jap
anese evacuated the port, which was
the scene of the terrible massacre of
chinese during the war with Japan,
Russian engineers began supervising
the reconstruction of the docks and
forts, which had been destroyed by the
Japanese previous to leaving the
place.
Previous to the war between China
and Japan, Port Arthur was the larg-
est naval station possessed by the Chi
nese and was strongly fortified. There
was a naval dock yard there, built by
the French company, large refitting
basin with a depth of 25 feet at the
low water, spacious wharves and
quays, two docks, one 400 feet long,
and facilities for repairing ships of
all sizes, from ircnclads to torpedo
boats. The foundries and work
shops were constructed on the most
improved models and c0tained the
best modern machinery. Japan was
very anxious to hold Port Arthur per-
manently, but Russia strongly object
ed and would have backed up her OBJ
lection by force. Russia's great anx-
lety to possess Port Arthur is due to
the fact that the harbor is free from
ice all the winter, which is not the
case with Vladivostock. the present
headquarters of the Russian fleet in
the far east. 1t is proposed to connect
Port Arthur with the Russian railroad
now being built through Manchuria,
which in turn will connect with the
Great Trans-Siberia railroad.
kilograms from all the continental
capitals show that Russias step at
Port Arthur is regarded as tantamount
rs permanent occupation and 4 reply
to Germany'S action.
A well informed st. Petersburg COR
respondent says there was no agree
ment between Russia and Germany
and that the latter simply warned Rus
STA when the occupation of Kiao- Chau
was already decided upon.
