CAPTURE OF SANTA CLARA
Event Confirmed by Late Arrivals
From Cuba.
Utmost Gaiiantry Was Displayed,
the Spaniards Being Overcome
BY Magnificent VaIor
OF the Cubans.

City of Mexico, Jan. 27.-Various
travellers just arriving from Cuba con-
firm the capture of Santa Clara by the
Cubans and also bring news that the In
surgents have been fighting in the near
Vicinity of Havana, and a few days ago
wrecked a passenger train within Two
miles of that city. Two young English>
men, direct from Cuha-Forry e. York
and Lee A. Hervey-haye reached this
city after having passed several weeks
In Cuba and with the insurgent army
part of the time ami the remainder in
the field with the Spanish troops. Her
Yey has received a shot through the left
arm. They are preparing n report for
Senator Cameron, which will be for
warded to Washington in a few days.
The Cubans are not in want Of men, but
money, ammunition and medicine.
There are not over 25,000 Cubans, while
the Spaniards and volunteers now mum.
Der 2S5. 900 men, mostly very young and
not good fighting material.
All operations are in the nature of
guerrilla warfare and both sides are
Systematically burning plantations, and
the country will be reduced to barbar-
ism. The Cubans are relying on being
favored by Mckinley and expect im-
mediately upon his Inauguration he Will
recognize their belligerency if not their
Independence.
Harvey gives a graphic account of
the capture of Santa Clara by the In
surgents, where the utmost %gallantry
was displayed, the Spaniards being
overcome by the magnificent valor of
the patriots.
Hervey says it was told him in the
Cuban amp that Maceo had his lower
jaw shot away, but was alive and recu-
perating.
General Gomez is not treating for
peace, and, although there is II peace
party among the Cubars, it is a small
one.
The capture of the town OF Agutec by
THE Cubans was Il brilliant piece of
work. Three thousand Spaniards held
the place. but the Cubans showed bet
ter generalship. AT Santa Clara the
Cubans took and held the town just
long enough to ruin it. Harvey does not
consider there is any decided prospect
of victory for either side.

SERIOUS CHARGE,
Death Of Marshal Bird Laid to Gov

Death OF Marshal Bird Laid to Gov
crnor Bradley.
Lexington, Ky, Jan. 27.-EN-Deputy
United States Marshal J.. b.. Bruner,
who made man raids with the late
Deputy Marshal Bird. who was mur-
dered in Breatfitt county, tells the fol-
lowing sensational story:
1T is the general belief in jackson
hat a remark made by Governor Brad
ley while there during the campaign
last summer vas the cause of Birds
death. I had heard of this several times
before, and yesterday Tom Coates, the
county attorney of Breathitt county,
stopped over in Lexington and recalled
it to my recollection.
Last summer Governor Bradley
made a political speech in Jackson. in
which he challenged anyone present to
deny hat the republican party in Ken
lucky had fulfilled every pledge made
the people before il came into power.
Bird, who was in the audience and had
been drinking, replied by denying the
truth OF the governors statement. Sew
eral men in the audience made a rush
for Bird when he said the governor had
lied, but he drew his revolver and kept
them at bay.
ION the governors return to his hotel
he said he could easily pardon u man
for killing Bird for the part he had
taken in the disturbance. His words
We're repeated, and it IA not long be-
fore 1t became currently reported, and,
in many instances believed, in Breathitt
county that Governor Bradley had said
he would pardon the man who would
kill Deputy Marshal Bird.
This report came to the ears of he
moonshiners in the Neace neighborhood
and, no doubt. Neace thought when he
killed Bird that the governor would par
don him."

the hollowware shop. Naptha is used
there, n McTaige struggled M OF
it to his cell, where he had secreted an
impoverished lamp which he used as a
heater to make tea. The lamp was II
crude affair and he aphtha became

veloped the man. The inmates OF the
