Three Forts Were Destroyed.
Spanish Soldiers Joined the lnsurg-
ents-A GueriIIa:Raid.

CMcrNNArf, Feb. LA Commercial
Tribune special from Key West says
A daring attack WAS made on The
trocha west OF Artemisa last week. A
strong force Of insurgents, under Col
onel Pedro Bodarz attack Fort No. le,
and after two hours fighting dslodged
the garrison. After snmmonlng the
fort to surrender, which was refused,
Bodarz ordered the dynamite gun 10
open on II. The first she'll few vide,
but the second and third made big
gaps In the sides, killing several Of the
garrison force. A furious infantry
fire was maintained, and soon the gar
rlson flew the white flag. They were
all paroled. Fifteen Of the garrison
we're killed, while but one Cuban was
hurt.
Proceedlngon the next fort.tlle gar
rison there carne 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 a good supply Of ammunition.
Both forts we're destroyed.
At fort No. 7 stout resistance was
made, but two shots from the dyna-
mite gun compelled them TO surrender.
The Spanish soldiers were allowed
their freedom. This fort was burned
also. In all the three forts much am-
munitIon, guns, etc, were secured.
Al fort No. 0, a strong Spanish rein
forcement had been received, and the
Cubans moved of. This leaYes the
trocha open for any Cuban band that
may desire 90 pass through.
One Of SanRuIl's guerrilla bands en-
tered a small town, Montrovia, and
told the people to move on to San
Crlstobal at once. The town was then
burned. Six men were shot. Sixteen
women we're taken "prisoners" and
turned over TO the tender mercles OF
the men by Captain Mordario. Two
of them killed themselves with dag

Weyler's Successor

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The Madrid
dispatch announcing the appointment
OF Weyler's successor as governor-gen-
eral OF Cuba is considered here as alb
solutely authentic. A week ago Senior
de LONE communicated TO Secretary
olney that General Azcarrago had
been rendered this position, but no
definite action had been taken.
All American citizens now In prison
in Cuba as suspects will, with few ex-
oeptions, be given their release some
time during the coming week, This
information, 10 is said, has also been
conveyed 20 the state department by
the spanish legation. The whole
Competitor crew, II Is understood, is
included In the amnesty, and there is
a possibility that General Julio San
gully and Louis Someillan may also
be freed.
The state department has for some
time been conducting correspondence

Ing for the release OF the imprisoned
American citizens, The department

PARLIAMENT.
English Lawmakers at Work.
ChamberIain's Remarks Cause
Great Exctment.
Cause

| LONDON, Feb. 1.-The conservative
newspapers warmly ,protest againts
the protracted debate on the address
10 reply to the speech from the throne
at the opening Of parliament. They
claim the debate was about nothing
and that IL reduced the house to the
level Of a provincial debating society.
Yesterdays proceedings were the first
pieces Of practical business, and it is
an interesting fact that the govern
ment's support yesterday and In
Thursdays debate on the action Of
the board Of trade in the dispute be-
tween Lord Penrhyn and his quarry
men came from the liberal benches.
Not single unofficial tory defended
the government, and the radical
organs point to this as indicting a
decline in the standard Of parliament
AIRY honor Of the tories, and ask what
the latter care about, since they ap-
parently care nothing for their own
bills, their own word or their own
government.
The grave remarks of the secretary
Of state for the colonies, Joseph
Chamberlain, on the situation In
South Africa created a deep impress
sion, more especially as they were
unexpected. The members assembled
in the lobby afterward and discussed
the passages Of his remarks in which
he hinted at dangerous undercurrents
In affairs at the Cape, and remarked
that his tone in reference to the
Transvaal was much sterner than his
former utterances on the same sub
ject.
Conservative newspapers praise
Chambellain's attitude, and the Globe
expresses the hope that President
Kruger will take the warning to heart
"for persistence In injury and insult
In Boer dealing will only result In the
assertion OF British supremacy in
South Africa" The comments OF the
other papers point to the committee
as expected TO rake up evidence Of
Boer treachery and intrigue.
The house OF commons yesterday
authorized a loan OF e5.5O0, 600 (s27,-
1000 for military scheme, which
the parliamentary secretary for the
war office, w. j. Broderick, explained
is part Of general scheme for ma
tional defense, and includes increased
provision for rifle ranges and the ac-
quisitlon OF Salisbury plain for a
maneuyer ground.
Irish affairs continue In the fore
front. The split in the Irish parlia-
mentary party viii be complete next

for the south division OF Langford, ,ad-
opted on Tuesday last at meeting OF

ing signed by the Healyitcs, they will !
be considered as being expelled from |

tlon was that every member OF the !
party should slgn declaration that |
