NEARLY GOT WEYLER,
But Only Killed His Horse, More's
the Pity.

New York, Feb. IA special to Che
World from Key West says:
AS General Weyler was marching
with his columns, just before entering
Santa Clara. his horse was shot under
him by a Cuban sharpshooter. 1t is
supposed the shot came from a distant
hillside.
Throughout the march from Rodas
Me captain general was assailed by
missiles of this kind and several times
barely escaped being wounded.
He is greatly worried over it. and
large scouting parties precede the adj
vancing Spanish columns to capture
the Cuban sharpshooters.
A Spanish force of 500 men was am
pushed Wednesday night near Nazar
enc, just west of Santa Clara, where
General Weyler then was, and narrow
1y escaped humiliation.
The insurgents had mined the road
and bridge over a creek, and hid on
the roadsides. AS the SDaniards were
crossing the bridge mines were eX-
ploded, killing 20 or 80 men and wound
ing many more. The blowing up of
the bridge divided the Spanish force.
The Cubans fired on those in the rear
and then charged with machetes.
Many Spaniards were driven into the
creek, where they were drowned.
The soldiers in the rear column just
managed TO escape humiliation. The
Cubans captured 30 prisoners and re-
port over 100 Spaniards killed. drowned
or wounded and missing. The Cuban
loss was Slight

THE DREAM-TOWN SHOW.

Where the drollest things are done.
And we will sail there, if the winds are
fair,
Just after the set of sun.

world.
Or anywhere, so it seems:
And the folks there play at the end of
In curious Show called Dreams"
We sail right into the evening skies.
We are there at the port and ready for
sport,
Where the dream folks give their show.
And what do you think they did last
night.
When crossed their harbor bars?
The- hoisted a plank on great cloud
bank.
And teetered among the stars
And they sat on the moon and swung
their feet
Like pendulums to and fro:
Down Slumber Sea is the sail for me,
And l wish you were ready to go;
For the dream folks there on this curl
Gus isle
Begin their performance at eight;
There are no encoreS, and they close
their doors
On everyone who is late.
The sun is sinking behind the hills,
The seven o'clock bells chime;
L know by the chart that we ought to
start
If we would be there in time
Oh, fair is the trip down Slumber Sea;
Set sail and away We 90:
The anchor is drawn. we are off and gone
To the wonderful Dream-Town show.

DON'T LIKE STEAMBOAT SPRING
No Place For Corbett to Train For
His Fight.

Carson, New, Feb. &c. G. Cook.
James ]. Corbett's advance represent
alive, is not favorably impressed with
Steamboat Springs as training place.
The roads in the vicinity are rough and
unfit for foot travel at this season of
the year, and the conveniences are not
exactly what he expected. Mr.. Cook
will visit Valleys Hot Mineral springs
near Genoa in Douglas county tOmor-
row. and it now seems probable that he
will make Corbett's headquarters there.
Valleys springs are only IA miles dis
tant from Carson and are more happily
situated than Steamboat Springs. A
number of prominent sporting writer's
from the east have already arrived in
Carson and others are expected daily.
The arrival of Dan Stuart is anx-
iously awaited. He will be met at
Reno by delegations from that city
and Carson and urged to decide upon
the location of the battle-ground as
quickly as possible.

out board delivery pipes with the con-
denserS are also leaking and the pumps
have been working for the last two

Men from the construction depart
ment have been making repairs but 1t
will be some time before they are COM

The engines worked roughly in the

found to be badly burned. They were
sent 20 the steam engineering shops,
where new ones will be made.
One Of the officers attached TO the
ship said yesterday:
I'VE found that the valves connect

side of the ship leaked to such an ex-
tent that it was necessary to keep the
small pumps working all the time. The
trouble was caused by the packing IN

AGAINST the National Lead Trust.

New York, Feb. edward A. Cas-
we'll. one of the principal metal brokers
of this city, takes exception to the Den
yer telegram announcing a movement
among western lead producers and
shelters against the National Lead
trust.
This telegram said Mr. Caswell to-
day, stated that the Lead trust is
seeking to freeze out the English mine
owners in British America, and that
there is a scheme on foot there to
break the backbone of the Lead trust.
Both statements are untrue. The ship
ments of lead from the west to Europe
are simply what has been going on for
several years past. When the London
price pays more than is paid here, lead
goes abroad. When our price advances,
and it is more profitable to sell it here,
it is sold here. The entire movement
is simple natural trade movement of
the article and is in no wise connected
with any action on the part of the
Lead trust"

HOW LONG! HOW LONG!
MORE AMERICAN CITIZENS AR
RESTED BY SPANIARDS.
Although Ordered Released, Betan-
court is Kept In Jail-Of What
Use Are American WarshipsP-
Cubans Decline All Offers, Except
Absolute Observation-Disclosures
Chatters Through His Chapeau.

Key West. Fla, Feb. 6.-Advices from
Havana tonight state that Canovas'
famous Cuban reforms have been cur
rent talk among the people during the
week The impending financial crisis,
on account of the depreciation of paper
currency, war matters and other i'm
portant subjects are all left aside to
discuss the apparent great event.
Although the details of the plan are
hidden from the public, the government
stopping publication in the papers, the
facts leaked out and have been widely
commented on. The very fact that the
authorities prohibited the printing of
the news has given occasion for the
common people to express doubts and
misgivings of the efficacy Of the re-
forms.
The concensus of opinion of enlight-
ened liberal Spaniards is that, although
the reforms are sufficiently ample to
satisfy their aspirations, the fact of
their PRONUNCIATION by the ConServa-
tives, who have always opposed any
concessions, and who, not many months
ago, openly declared their policy gums,
not reforms inclines them to hesitate
to believe the plans will be honestly
carried out.
AS to the Cubans, it need not be said
lI1dt, WITH the exception OIL the rene
gades, all agree that the reforms are
too weak and certainly unacceptable to
Cubans in arms.
Reliable information received this
week states that Gomez fatty refused
to meet Marcos Garcia, the delegate
sent by the government to make pro-
posals of peace. Gomez would not hear
of any overtureS or receive any COM
munications tending to open negotia-
tons unless based upon absolute indie
pendence. Another delegate appointed
to go to ManZanillo to talk with Ca
lixto Garcia, declined the commission
on the spot, saying it was useless.
Gaspar Batancourt's confinement, de-
spite the decision of the court for i'm
mediate release, is the greatest outrage
ever done an American citizen. The
case has not a precedent. On the con-
trary, Spanish law requires that as
soon as a prisoner is found guiltless
he be released on the spot. The proof
is that the judge as soon as the tri-
bunal gave sentence at once signed
warrant ordering the Jail warden to
place him at liberty, consequently his
remaining in Jail under the alleged
formalities to be complied with, is sim
ply a fragrant violation of Spanish law
and shameful injustice to an innocent
man.

the city of Santa Clara, where he has
arrived, delegation of prominent resi-
dents of the city went out to receive
him and presented him with an ad-
dress. General Weyler replied to the
address and among other things he
said: Il am disposed to finish the re-
bellion at once in the Santa Clara
province. Those speaking about re-
forms must know that the government
has promised them and given the sub
ject thorough consideration. But the
estimate of the reforms depends upon

REDUCING CIRCULATION.
National Banks Expect Period of
Easy Money.

New York, Feb. 6.-The national
banks in New York are reducing their
circulation. One reason for this course
is the prospect of a long period of easy
money and another is the high prices
at which government bonds are ruling.
Government bonds have to be deposited
with the United States treasurer to Sc
cure circulation. The national bank
act by the amendment of 1882 permits
decrease in circulation of only 3,00O-
600 a month by all the national banks
in the country and there are $50 of
them. In January, for the first time,
the $3000,000 limit was reached. This
week APPLICATIONS for reduction of cir
culations aggregating 100000 were
sent into Washington from New York
alone.

Gomez Does Not Want Anything But
Independence

New York, Feb. IA special dispatch to
the Herald from Havana, Cuba, Febru-
airy 6. via Wey West. Fla, says:
General Weyler's attempt to arrange
Tor a secret conference with Gomez IN
Santa Clara over the question of the pro-

General Gomez sent word, it is said;
that he would not confer with General
Weyler upon any subject whatever and
refused to meet him under any clrcum-
stances.
While the rebel leader doubted the SIN
cerety OF the Spanish government, ana
declared that the proposed reforms Woulo
rot be promulgated in good faith, he eX-
pressed a Willingness 10 meet any ac-
credited agent of the government ex<
ceot General Weyler, for the purpose OF
giving the insurgent views on the ques-
ton.
The news of General Gomez's refusal to
treat with General Weyler caused intense
