Charge. Gideon is q resident of Wash

The story told by Mr.. Reddington is

my connection with the land office are

records to his apartments and kept
them for two days, changing them so
as to insure an increase Of several
million acres in the land grants. After
this transaction Gideon had resigned.
and the witness could not say what
had become Of him. He said that $50 900
had been paid for the change of the
records. Reddington was unable to give
the committee the residences of wit
nesses, but he said that If placed In
charge of the investigation he could get
the facts. He thought that such an
investigation as he would make would
cost the government about 100000.

small purchases at the shop called to
see her and to offer her sympathy.

HAVANA ATTACKED.
A Daring Raid Made by Cuban In
surgentn-Panic Among Citizens.

-.
Havana, July 3e.-Hayana's outposts
have again been attacked by a large
body of rebels, who before the Spanish
troops could be gathered 20 resist had
swept through the suburbs, carrying
all before them. They used, il is be-
lieved, rapid-firing guns and large
quantity of dynamite. The attack was
made late Wednesday night.
At the first sounds of firing the Span
ish soldiers in the city and suburbs
sprang to arms. They proceeded hur-
riedly to the southeastern part of the
city, from where the rattle of musketry,
followed by the boom of heavy guns or
dynamite, could be heard plainly ali
over Havana Then the sound of firing
increased, and finally. after few hours,
died away, showing that the rebels had
retired. Several wounded Spanish Off
GERS were brought into Havana and re-
moved to hospitals after the engage
ment and several were killed.
The insurgent leaders nearest Havana
now are Brig. Gen. Castillo, with a
large force at Mariana, nine miles
southwest, and Col Nester Aranguren,
at Guanabacoa, across the bay, while
Gen. Alex Rodriguez, rebel commander
of Havana province, is near Truce, and
Col. Raoul Arrange is at Cutro Caminez.
There is belief in Havana that the
rebel raid was led by Aranguren, who is
noted as one of the most daring of the
rebel chiefs. Capt. Gen. Weyler has left
Havana for Matanzas, and the belief is
expressed that the knowledge of the
insurgents of this intention on his part
led to the attack. 1t is understood large
bodies of insurgents have recently
crossed from Pinar del Rio and Matan-
zas.

placed his head through the sheet and

to take them for. a ride if they wouia
walk TO the top of the hill. The boys
walked to the top of the hin and werr-
taken into the wagon.
Walter wanted the men to take them

They wrote two days later demaEd-

granted, and Mayor Stokely offered
a reward of $4,000 for the arrest OF
the kidnapers and the return Of the
boy. This immense reward attracted
worldwide attention.
Mr. Ross received l6 letters from the
abductors during the four following
months, but they were SO carefully dis
