Routed by the Texans.

KEY WEST. Fla, Jan. 9.-News WAS
received here to-day from the Pinar del
Rio country that the lone STAR compa-
ny of Texas Rangers in the Cuban army
had defeated much larger force than
themselves, capturing the Spanish cap
tain and taking provision train.
The battle took place near Palcine. A
detachment of 200 Spanish cavalry escort
ing a trainload of provisions was halted
by sudden and fierce fire from hill
side.
The Texans, who only numbered 100
men, were in ambush on both sides of
the road. The Spanisrds retreated after
the first volley.. The Texans, seeing
them fly, came out from one side and
dashed after them. The Spaniards turn
ed and poured hot FIRE and then charg
ed.
The "Lone STAR men met them and
the shock was terrible. A second de-
tachment Of Cubans came up at this mo-
ment and ne tSpaniards again retreated.
The Texans, notwithstanding they were
greatly outnumbered, routed the Span
iards and captured their commander.
The Texans then came into the hills.
The SPaniards left dead and 10 wound
on the field, while the Cubans had kill
ed and II wounded.
One OF Colonel Sanamartin's detsch-
ments had fight with insurgents near
Candelaria on Monday in which the Span
ish troops retreated, leaving ten men
killed and wounded. The Cuban loss
was light.

who digests properly may well be envied

of every cline and nation owe a debt Of
gratitude TO Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which rescues them from one of the most
obstinate and troublesome complaints
against which medical skill is directed.
On this continent, in Europe and the

nently and justly popular, not only as a
stomachic, but also as a means ofprevent-
ing and curing malarial, rheumatic, kid

improves appetite and sleep, hastens con-

great satisfaction in witnessing the ri

Thrashed a ,Ean He Robbed.

SHANOKIY, Pa, Jan. s.-Paul Smith
was robbed Of number of dynamite
caps at Mount Carmel yesterday, and
could find no clue to the robber until to
day, when Ristus Marscck, with blood
running from the blackened stump of his
right thumb, savagely assaulted him.
A policeman arrested Marsock, ard
later, before a Justice, the former, when
asked why he abused Smith, said that
the latter had no business to keep such
deadly explosives.
Then Marsock confessed that he had
taken the dynamite, and while explod-
ing the first cap met with the aculGent.
He grew so enraged that the only thought
he had was to punish Smith, not realiz-
ing that by so doing he would betray
himself
The case viii likely be settled, as Smith
thinks the unfortunate man has endured
enough punishment.

The attempt to belittle Mr.. Penrose
as being one of Senator Quay's heneh-
men will fall fiat. Mr.. Penrose is
Senator Quay's preference, but not his
creature. His senatorial canvass took
shape from his own abilities at time
when Senator Quay's attitude was un-
certain, and the belief was held by
many who take their lead from him
that Governor Hastings would be his
preference. So far as the aspects OF the
political situation afford any indica-
tions, the relation of Mr.. Penrose to
Senator Quay is one of friendship, but
not of subserviency, and we have no
doubt that Pennsylvania will be repre-
sented in Congress by two Senators.
With an able spokesman, as well as a
shrewd negotiator, in the State repre-
sentation, its weight and influence in
the Senate of the United States will be
greatly increased.
