THEIR OWN COMRADES.
Spanish Guerriilas Fall Into q Snare
Set for Cubans.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 23.-A special TO the
Commercial Tribune from Key West, says:
A horrible story comes from Jumento,
province of Santa Clara. telling o: quick
retribution to the Spaniards for their
butchery and barbarous methods OF war.
Spanish force under Capt. Martelli,
entered the place which had been the
camp OF the insurgents, and before going
away. secretly poisoned a well and a
spring. noted for affording excellent pure
water. That evening Spanish band OF
guerriHss entered the town and used the
water from which over twenty-five died.
The guerrilla captain charged the Cuban
residents and shot them dead. He then
turned the women over the tender mercies
of the men, who shot the boys who at
tempted TO save their mothers and sisters.
He burned the village.
The next day some of the Spanish
troops told the guerrilas the story Of the
trap they had set for the Cubans, and
learned that their own companions in
arms had been caught by their own bar
barous plot.

green being one Of the prettiest tints. A
small turban wound with this trimming

Feathers still hold their place IN the

Such hats never go out OF style for the

Of plain visage dares attempt them. The
long dropping feathers that are lost in
fluffs of bonny hair win continue to droop
over fair faces, but folks Of only average
good looks will shun them, and buy hats
with two feathers standing up together,
instead OF the solitary one of last season.
Sometimes thg, fluffy aigrette is made
to keep the solitary feather company, in
stead OF procuring a mate. When loops of
ribbon are used in conjunction with feath-
ers the latter are made subordinate, the
ribbons standing up at the ioftiest posi-
BILE height, and the feathers forming q
sort OF hedge at the base. A straw hat
