Havana, via Key West. Aug. 9. The town
OF Esperanza, in Santa Clara province, was
attacked by the insurgents last week for
the second time within month. The gar

Cuban soldier and wounding several others,
but surrendered after half an hour. The in

large amount OF clothing, drugs and
money. All the Spanish guerrilla forces in
the town joined the insUrgent forces with
their arms and ammunition.
Gen Montaris, Commanding 1000 Span

after the insurgents had left the town. The
Spanish general, very angry over the
news, disarmed all the guerrilla forces and
arrested the few Spanish soldiers who
remained in the town. He then set fire TO
all the houses owned by Cubans and shot
several Cuban residents. While this was
occurring the towns OF Encruci lada, Crcsva
and Plsacetas, also in Santa Clara province,
Were Taided by the insurgents of the leader
CayitO Alvarez, and the garrisons made no
resistance, allowing the Cuhans TO take

ASA ssination Of this exponent OF the present
Spanish policy was the topic of general
discussion among politicians and about
the State Department, where there is
much speculation as TO the possible ef-
feet of the death of this conservative
leader upon our relations with Spain aud
the war in Cnba.
But few statesmen are in the city. Of
the House Committee on Foreign Affairs
not member is in Washington. and the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
finds ITS only representative i'm Mr. Nor
gan When seen by Times reporter Mr.
Morgan said it was useless for him to at
tempt To guess at what the effect OF this
assassin s deed might be. He did not know
the local situation in Spain, an his guess
would be, he said, no better than that of
anyone else.
Accepting the Spanish statement OF the
facts, however" said Mr.. Morgan, there
is 8 line OF reasoning that seems probable
as the outcome OF this act l would not
make it in the shape of prediction, but
simply suggest il to you as the logical
conclusion of the situation given in the
dispatches. The statement is made that
the crime was comnlittaed by anAnarchist.
Now Anarchists are not going about kill
Ing people just for the sake OF blood
letting IL they did they might find more
than one to murder about whom there
would be little hue or cry. Assassination
is deplorable thing under any and all
circumstances, but it is claimed by some
as the remedy for the relief of the
oppressed. IL this be the argument of the
Anarchist We must look for the cause Of
his dioontent.

except by bull leaders themselves. As far
as we can detect their movements, this
afternoon, they are selling some stocks
with the idea of taking hold of the market
at a lower range We hope they Will do
SO. It will help the market if they shake
out small holders and take a strong grip
upon the market at q decline of two or
three points. Tonight we think they are
doing this. If such q movement is made
