THE TROCHA BROKEN.

a Cuban Bard Did Good Work With a
Dynamite Gun.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 30.-A Commercial
Tribune special from Key West says:
A daring attack was made on the
trocha west of Arteinisa last week.
A strong force of insurgents, under
Colonel Pedro Bodarz, attacked Fort
No. 10, and after two hours fighting
dislodged the garrison. After sum-
moning the fort to surrender, which
was refused, Bodarz ordered the dyna-
mite gun to open on it. The first shell
flew wide, but the second and third
made big gaps in the sides, killing
several of the garrison force. A furi-
Gus infantry fire was maintained. and
soon the garrison flew the white flag.
They were all paroled. Fifteen of the
garrison were killed, while but one
Cuban was hurt.
Proceeding on the next fort, the
garrison there came over to Bodarz'
forces at the first demand, and stated
that they wished to fight for Cuba. They
were sick at heart of the murderous
work which they were obliged to do.
There were 100 men, and three officers,
with goodly supply of ammunition.
Both forts were destroyed.
At fort No. stout resistance was
made, but two shots from the dynamite
gun compelled them to surrender. The
Spanish soldiers were allowed their
freedom. This fort was burned also.
In all the three forts much ammunition,
guns, etc., were secured.
At fort No. +, a strong Spanish rein
forcement had been received, and the
Cubans moved off. This leaves the
trocha open for any Cuban band that
may desire to pass through.

CORVALLIS, Or, Jan. 29.-An
alteration between b. B. Miller,
president of the agricultural college,
and ]. Fred Yates, prominent Cor
| vallas lawyer and chairman of the
Benton county republican central
committee, occurred this morning on
main street. Miller sought Yates,
| and, meeting him, accused him and his
brother, William E. Yates, who is
prosecuting attorney for this district
and member OF the board of regents,
of circulating report that Miller was
instrumental in bringing forth the
Stanley bill, to establish an agricul-
tural college in Eastern Oregon.
Yates asked Miller his authority for
making such an accusation. Miller
at first refused to divulge his authority.
Finally he said he did not know who
told him, but that he was so told and
that such reports were derogatory to
him and harmful to the institution.
Yates replied that if Miller was told
such thing he would certainly know
who was his informant.
"You are liar" said the president
of the college, and was Immediately
knocked down by Yates. In falling
he clinched with Yates, and both fell
in the street. Yates broke loose and
they continued to fight until separated
by friends.
Mr.. Miller could not be seen in re-
gard to the affair, as he took the train
for Salem.

MONEY FOR A "RAINY DAY."

Confession of a Dying Women to Her
Husband.
SAN FRANCISCO, JAM. 29.-On her
dying bed, in rickety waterfront
boarding-house, Mrs. w. Fl. Thomp-
son, an aged woman, confessed to her
husband that, though he was about to
lose her, she would leave behind her a
small fortune which she had spent SO
years in saving for a ''rainy day." The
best verification of the story was the
money itself.
The secret was told by the wife only
when she felt Deaths approach. Then,
calling her husband to her bedside,
she told him to tear up the carpet of
the bedroom at certain place. He
did so, and found $4,000 neatly con-
cealed. Mrs. Thompson finished her
story by saying that she also had $15,-
600 in the Hibernia bank.
"Brother Bill" was dumfounded, and
asked his wife how she had got to-
gether so much money. She replied
that she had been saving since 1861.
when Thompson had Ptarted board
ing-house. She said she fully under
stood "Bill's'' generous ways, and felt
that if she did not quietly put away
some money they would have none
when they were old.
"Brother Bill' Thompson is one of
the characters of the water front. He
is between go and IS years old. He
has an excellent reputation among
men of his class, and three years ago
astonished the entire water front by
joining the Salvation Army. He is
now an officer in the corps.

voted for Squire.
The return was: Turner, 6S; Denny,

did so.

The Roseburg Hold-up.

ROsEBURG, Or, Jan. 30.-Y esterday
the sheriff tracked one of the supposed
train robbers over the hill east of the
railroad into Grosser canyon. The
man had gone north evidently holding
to the fence as he went down the hill
to the creek, finally turning and
coming toward town, where the trail
was lost on the hard ground. The
supposition is the robbers are now in
town.
The officers are reticent as to the
theory they are working upon, but
claim they have slight clue, which
they will not divulge. Several detec-
tives are on the case Many people
today were fishing for valuables in the
small slough at the scene of the hold-up.
One man found one 800 and one so
gold piece in handful of mud.
