Fifteen Texans Killed in Cuba-A
Brave Fight.
NEW YORK, December PA spe-
cial to the World from Key West says:
The Lone Star Company of the patriot
army of West Cuba, consisting of fif-
teen Texas sharpshooters, persisted TO
a man, after heroically battling more
than five hours against vastly superior
Spanish forces in Pinar del Rio prov
ince, killing double their own number
and wounding probably as many more.
Havana officials are jubilant, passen-
gers arriving here say, over the news
of this victory.
a Cuban band was discovered near
Pinar del Rio city Thursday morning,
and General Melquizo sent two squad
rons of cavalry to attack it. After a
running fight the band, which proved
to be composed of fifteen Texans, was
chased into bottle" a bit of hum
mock having only one opening.
Inc IeXans, seeing they were in a
hole, retreated to the further end and
fortified themselves hastily behind
some big powders. The Spanish troop
ers dismounted and surrounded them.
pouring in a fire from both sides. The
brave Texans replied and kept up the
fight for more than five hours. By that
time six of the fifteen had been killed
and four were wounded, while twenty
five Spaniards had bitten the dust and
ten or more were wounded
\ flag of truce was sent in by the
Spanish and the Texans were called en-
to surrender, but the Americans refused
to lay down their arms, shouting. we
remember Maceo." This Infatuated the
Spanish and they fought with renewed
ierceness. Twice they charged, but
the rapid firing of the brave little band
drove them back. By getting on a high
ridge behind the Texans position the
Spaniards were enabled to pour IN
fire that killed all but two of those left.
Those two CALAMITY continued to fight.
and held of the enemy an hour longer.

CHANGES IN STAR
Ed. Towse Will Be Sue
ceeded by Mr.. Atkinson.
Two Years Hard Work on the
Star Two Writer'S of Ac-
knowledged Ability.

1t was announced in yesterdays is
sue of the Hawaiian Star that after this
week A. T. Atkinson will be editor
of that paper. The only inference to
be drawn from the item is that Id
Towse, for the past two years editor of
the paper, will withdraw.
Mr.. Towse has been here for nearly
four years, during which he has ac-
ceptably filed positions in the local
and editorial departments of the Star
and Advertiser. As news rustler, he
has no superior in Honolulu, as the
columns of the papers on which he
has been employed testify. He has
been lively spirit in matters con-
nected with the military and the af-
fairs of the American League. Should
Mr.. Towse decide to leave Hawaii and
return to his old stamping grounds in
the United States, his presence in Ho-
nolulu will be missed by a large circle
of friends.
He is an able, conscientious worker,
man of exemplary habits, and one
who has done much toward bringing
the Star up to its present standard.
Alatau T. Atkinson, who will succeed
Mr.. Towse as editor, is a writer Of
wide reputation. He was editor and
part owner of the Gazette in years
gone, and has filled the position of ed
itor of the Advertiser at various times.
He was never active in politics, out
was ever close observer of passing
events. He is a great reader and an
authority on light literature of the
present day.

HOW MACEo WAS KILLED.
First Correct Version of the Affnir From
the Generals Secretary.

First Correct Version of the Affair From
the Generals Secretary.
NEW YORK, Dec. PA letter re-
ceived here by member of the Cuban
Junta from the secretary of the late
General Maceo gives the first really
official information of his death. 1t
says that Maceo was not betrayed to
the Spaniards under a flag of truce.
He had passed the trocha with thirty
of his officers, his intention being to
concentrate the forces of Havana Prov
ince and probably attack the city while
Weyler was away in the field. His
plan was betrayed to the Spaniar1s,
and for this DR.. Zertucha is suspected.
At San Pedro, near Havana, the par
ty had to pass along roadway, on one
side of which was stone wall. A
company of Spanish sharpshooters had
been stationed behind it. General
Maceo and young Gomez were in adj
vance of the rest of the party. Sud
denly the rifemen fired volley, killing
Maceo and Gomez. Justiz and Nodarse,
who were following closely behind,
were also killed instantly. The writer
of the letter was wounded, but made
his escape. The remaining members
of Maceo's staff were allowed to escape.

There are people in Hawaii, who fol-
lowing an old custom, buy their groceries
in California believing that they can save
money. It is possible this might have
been done with success in the long ago,
before competition reduced the cost Of liv-
ing on the Islands. 1t is possible, too,
that the people who continue to buy at
the Coast are not aware that the canned
and bottled goods, 1--WE mean delieaciesl,
may be bought from US at strictly whole
sale prices. 1t is not probable that per-
sons ordering from California order in
small quantities; they probably get case
of vegetables or fruits in an order. We
are prepared to fill such orders in Homo

The long wharf at Heeia was blown

The sugar wharf, in connection with

a similar fate by the bags of sugar that

Residents at Heeia report that Friday

seen there for many months.

Italy offered to assist in bringing
about an amicable arrangement OF the
trouble, without promising to support
Spain. The attitude of the Vatican is
absolutely favorable to Spain.

HARD COAL TRUST
Alleged That Morgan's Scheme
Will Save Over Forty Mil
lions Annually
In the Cost. Of Handling and Dis
posing Of the Product in
This Country.
Cost to Consumers Will Not Be
lncreased--Milk Combine;
in Gotham.

New YORK, Dec. 23.-For several
weeks Wall street has been alive with
rumors of a deal arranged among the
anthracite coal companies, designed to
increase the profits of the railroads and
their mining companies and to stiffen
the price of coal. Evidence of the deal
has been given in the steady rise Of the
''coalers" upon sluggish and sagging
market.
The new plan is monster piece of
finance and bears the unmistakable
stamp of j. Pierpont Morgan's handi-
work. The total profit annually to the
coal combine by the new scheme, it is
figured, will be $44, ,80O, 900.
The plan of the coal men is to or.
ganize under the liberal charter of
Pennsylvania and Reading railroad as
sales agent, which would dispense en-.
tirely with the middlemen and save his
profit to the producers without materi-
ally increasing the price to the con.
sumers. This new company. which
has not yet received a name, is to buy
from the coal roads their entire product,
pay them adequate rates for transpor.
tation to the markets, and sell to the
retail dealers direct.
The profits so saved it will distribute
monthly pro rata among the railroads.
It has been figured out that the plan
means an increase in the earnings of
the Jersey Central, the Reading, the
Lehigh Valley and the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western, respectively, Of
$1,000, 900 annually.
Will Control the Entire Output.
AS the Independent producers have
been taken into the agreement, every
ton of anthracite coal consumed in the
United States must be purchased from
the general agency at whatever price it
may see fit to fix. The law of supply
and demand will no longer enter into
the economy of this commodity.
Under the new plan cars will be
transported direct to the coal yard by
the railroad companies in their own
transfer floats, which will save at least
20 cents q ton towing fees and one per
cent in the loss in dust and droppings
which is caused by breaking bulk. AS
the railroads market 10000, 900 tons at
the seaboard cities annually, the sum
of Zoo, 600 year will be saved to the
trust.
Those who have figured on the saving
to the trust by the new departure allow
66k cents per ton profit from the abol.
ishment of lightering across the bay
and river, and IS cents per ton saved on
the profit of middlemen. This makes a
total profit of Silly per ton. On the
10000, 900 tons annually marketed this
would amount to $44, SOC, 900.
