The death Of Mr.. William p. ST.

prominently To the forefront Of the
recent Presidential campaig1 as
one of Mr.. BryaD's most enthus!-
astic champions, will be hailed us
one of the very few unhappy results
of the late election. There can br
little doubt that Mr.. st. John, still
true To his name, proved II double
martyr to his faith in the free coin.

would have celebrated only the

birth. No one can doubt for mo.
nlent the absolute sincerity of his
course. Before the beginning of
the campaign, indeed, he had earn
ed for himself (again, perhaps in
view of his name) the title of "thp

we may differ from his convictions,

No Wonder He Was Mad.

A man rushed into the office Of the
gas company few days ago and, stick
ing his face through the opening in the
desk rail, said, whats the matter with
the gas mp my way, Oi dunno?" A little
cross examination elected the fact that
the gas up his way chad been jumping
up and down for week like bob on a

over was given and the much aggrieved
citizen took his departure, after giving
tho following warning, "If yez don't
fix it purity soon some of my family
will be asphalted. "--Hartford Post.

fired all the dwellings,. AS the inmates
rushed out they were shot down,
women and children as well as men.
Many persisted in the flames rather
than face the Spanish bullets. When
morning came more that 80 bodies were
seen among the ruins. The guerillas
fed after looting the two stores which
the flames had spared. A Cuban band,
attracted by the firing. came up two
hours after and started after the Span
iards. Catching up with them, a hot
fight ensued, and out of a company of
20 guerillas 35 were killed.

General Weyler has burned four small

An attempt was made TO capture him

his party reached the house it stopped
for liquid refreShment. FondeVeila had
only - men with him. The Cubans
rushed out, firing, killing ten of the es-
cort and knocking several others down.
The rest rallied around Fondeveila.
while one cavalryman galloped off for
aid
The Cubans managed to get near
enough to Fondeyeila to knock him
down, but just as they were about TO
tie him and lift him on his horse pre-
paratory to dashing away, a large
patrol force came up and opened fire.
The horse was shot and five Cubans
fell. Welch, seeing that the attempt to
kidnap was a failure, snapped his re-
volver in Fondeveila's face, but it
failed to go off. The Texan hurled the
pistol at the Spanish commanders
face and rode hastily away, having lost
half of his men in the raid
Fondeveila pursued the daring men
several miles, but could not catch
them. The Cubans who fell were
thrown into roadside bitches. People |
were warned not to bury them Fon-
deveila burned the inn. Had the owner |
been found he would have been shot.

THE C0META AFFAIR.
SPANISH AUTHORITIES IN
CLINED TO IGNORE IT
Several Engagements Between Span
iards and Rebels-Weyler's Lat
est Deviltry.

Havana, Jan. 24-The marine
authorities here ignore the Cometa
affair and it is impossible to learn
from them what. if any, truth there is
in the report that that little gunboat
has been destroyed by insurgents. The
military authorities profess to know
nothing of the matter, and in this case
their professions are believed to be
true, for in view of the antagonism
between the naval and military author
tiles, it is considered that if the latter
were in possession of facts detrimental
to the navy, they would not hesitate
to make them known to the public.
From other than official sources, it is
learned, however, that the reports that
have already reached the United
States anent the loss of the gunboat
are probably correct.
The official reports issued today give
the details of a number of engage
ments between government troops
Santa Clara, Havana, Matanzas and
Pinar del Rio. According to these re-
ports, the troops were uniformly
victorious The rebel losses in the
various engagements are placed at 81
killed. a large number wounded and
two captured. Many families who had
taken refuge in the woods were found
by the troops and taken into the
towns.
Notwithstanding the recent an
nouncement of the -pacification" of
Pinar del Rio. the official reports show
that the greater number of engage
ments referred to took place in that
province, which is pretty good evidence
that the rebels are still conducting
their operations. The most important
Of the several fights took place near
province of Havana, where
the troops met the rebel parties led by
Castillo and Delgado.
