CHIVALRY NOT DEAD IN CUBA.
INCIDENT FOLLOWING A RE
CENT HARD FIGHT.
Tribute Paid a Cuban BY a Spanish
Oficer-Affairs of the Island.

New York, Nov. 15.-A dispatch to
the World from Havana says:
The chivalry of Cuban leader, Juan
Delgado, has illuminated this bar
barous war
Delgado and his forces had hard
fight with the Spanish regulars in the
Hanbre hills, near Managua. In a
brilliant charge and after hand-to-hand
battling, Delgado captured a. Spanish
captain and IA soldiers. Most of them
were severely wounded by machettes.
While Weyler was here scores Of
wounded Cubans were stabbed to death
with bayonets or shot to death as they
lay stretched on the field.
1t Jared differently with Delgado's
prisoners. His surgeons were not too
busy with their own wounded to dress
the wounds of their enemies. Then,
while the fight was still raging, Del
gado hoisted a. flag of truce and under
it returned to their commander the Is
men, with their wounds staunched,
and they had a. chance for their lives.
The splendid chivalry of this action
touched the Spanish commander, who
retired, sending word back to Delgado
by the wounded mems escort:
Il will fight no longer today with an
enemy who has treated wounded Span
ish soldiers so nObly.'
A plot is on foot to capture or kill
Raoul Arrange and Nesrtor Arangueren,
the two Cuban leaders who have been
so active in the vicinity of Havana.
Besides harassing the Spaniards, their
presence so near this city utterly con-
POUNDS all the official statements about
"pacifcation'' the subsistence of the
rebellion and such Spanish twaddle.
The best efforts of the Spanish have
failed to kill or capture Arrange and
Arangueren on the field. So this plot
was put on foot to buy their followers
to betray them.

Butte's Football Challenge.

Chicago, Nov. 15.-The six-round con-
test between Kid Mccoy and Australian
Billy Smith, in which George Siler was
referee, was stopped by the police in
the first half of the second round to-
night The fight would not have lasted
two rounds, anyway, as Mccoy had
knocked Smith down twice in the first
round, four times in the second, and
had him nearly out before the police
interfered.
Mccoy opened the first round with
rush, planting a left square in Smiths
face and right on his ribs. Smith
managed to land two blows on the
shoulder, but they were light and did
no damage.
Mccoy then went at him with a
cannonade of rights and lefts and sent
Smith to the floor with a right on the
jaw Smith was not groggy, but took
his nine seconds, Mccoy waiting for
him with a. smile on his face. The gong
rang as Smith rose.
Second Round.-McCoy went right
after Smith and knocked his head back
three times with straight lefts as fast
as Smith could bring it forward. He
then put a right on the body, two more
lefts on the mouth, and sent Smith to
the floor with a left half-arm swing on
the Jaw. Smith was down elSnt sec
onds and, as soon as he was up, Mccoy
met him with another left, and then
sent right and left on the jaw, which
laid Smith fat once more. He was
down eight seconds again, and came
up with the blood pouring from his
right eye and trickling from his nose.
The two danced across the ring, when
out went McCeYs left with q short
arm jab, and down went Smith a third
time. He was on the floor eight sec
onds and was very groggy when he
arose. McCoc came at him fast and
put in two hard ones on the face. Smith
staggered, and, it being evident that he
could last but very little longer, the
police stopped the fight.
The contest was McCoy's from start
to finish, and Smith was never in it at
any time. Mccoy hit him when and
where he pleased ard got away from
Smiths swings without trouble. The
latter was badly punished, his right eye
being cut and nearly closed When the
fight was stopped.

THE FIRE IN ASPEN'S MINES
SITUATION MUCH IMPRoVED
LAST NIGHT.
Feeling in Camp Very Gloomy, as Be-
lief is General That Shutdown
Will Occur.

Aspen, Colo, Nov. 15.-The owners of
the Smuggler mine, which has been on
fire since yesterday morning, an
nounce tonight that the situation is
much improved, inasmuch as they have
succeeded in carrying lines of steam
pipes to within a short distance of the
fire, and hope in a few hours more to
be playing upon it. Outsiders, how
ever, take a different view Of the stu
alton. 1t is the general belief tonight
that it is not the wooden crib which is
on fire, but the silale footwall itself,
which is said to be a very low grade
of coal This belief is strengthened by
the fact that the gas which is driving
the men from the workings on Snug
gler mountain is more like that from
burning coal than wood. If this theory
is correct, nothing but the flooding of
the mine will stop the fire.
Already the gas has per1neated the
workings in the various mines on
Smuggler mountain for two miles to
the north of the Smuggler shaft, and
500 men have been driven out and two
or three times that number will have
to quit work if the fire is not Quenched
The gas is gradually going lower hav-
ing now reached the seventh level. If
it drives the men from the pumps in
the ninth level, it will mean the flood
ing of the district, as the Smuggler
pumps are the principal ones fin the
district.
The feeling here is very gloomy, as it
is believed a long shutdown of the
principal mines of the camp is certain
to occur

SPAIN AND CUBA.

The Spanish steamer Alicante re-
turned to Spain with 500 sick or in

all Cubans who have been murdered
as Maceo, Castillo and Zayas.

Much incredulity is expressed pub
licly as to the ability of the govern

General Blanco's Investigations into
the condition of SDain's army in Cuba

DR.. THOMAS EVANS, GREATEST
OF Els PROFESSION.

Sums to Charity-Biography.

Paris, Nov. 15.-Dr Thomas w.
Evans, the famous American dentist.
who facilitated the fight of the ex-
Empress Eugene from Paris in 1870,
died suddenly yesterday evening.
DR.. Thomas Evans was born in Phil
adelphia about IS years ago, and went
to Paris in 1916, where he won great
reputation. Since his advent in the
French capital, DR.. Evans has attend
ed to the teeth of most of the crowned
heads of Europe, to say nothing of al
most innumerable members of the
royal family, excepting Queen Victoria
and the sultan of Turkey. He attended
Napoleon III, and through his advice
made considerable money in Specuia-
ton. He also attended the Empress
Eugene, and assisted the latter to es-
cape from Paris in his carriage after
the battle Of Sedan. Dr.. Evans was
very wealthy. his fortune being esti-
mated at from S25, 000 900 to $35, 900, 000
He visited the United States in August
last, bringing with him for interment
at Philadelphia, the body of his wife
They had no children.
While here, DR.. Evans is said to have
made arrangements TO endoW schools

the course Of his life he received in
Vulnerable orders and other decorations
from foreign potentates. He has two
nephews, Colonel Charles f. Miller of
Utica, N. Y, and j. r. Evans of New
York
He said to an interviewer recently:
THE greatest sorrow have found was
to find my chosen profession deep in
the mire. The greatest joy of my life,
my proudest achievement and most sat
isfied thought, is, that 1 have lifted it
up from the mud, and placed 1t on the
pedestal where it belongs. Year after
year I worked. and my best reward is
to know that dentistry is now recog-
nized and honored as a profession"
The secret of the success of DR..
Evans as a dentist, is said to be the
fact that he was practically the first
person to introduce gold filing for
teeth in Europe.
The French emperor, Napoleon III,
was one of DR.. Evans best friends, as
well as best patients, and the dentist.
In consequence, was in favor at court.
He never recovered from the shock
of his wife's death. He died of angina
pectoris, after q hours illness.

claim that nearly if not all of the 961
ballots rejected in about 300 precincts

the ballots though irregularly marked
according to the general election law,
were not irregular under the law pro-
