ANOTHER CHANCE.


The Cadets Recently Ordered Dismissed
From the West Point Military Academy
for Failure to Pass Examination, to ba
Given Another Chance, by Order of the
Secretary of War.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1s.-The journal
says: BY order of the secretary of
war, the West Point cadets who were
dismissed after the January examina-
tion are to be given another chance
for military honors. Thirty of the
cadets were discharged for deficiency
in this examination. Among them
were sons of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee and
Col. Ward. assistant adjutant-general
army. Winnie Hancock. grandson oil
the great department commander, also
failed, but he was given another
chance.
Col. Ward went to Washingto ton sever
al days ago and lodged complaint of IA
voritism against the examining board.
Secretary Lamont gave his personal
attention to the matter, but at frs t
refused to act on the ground that it
was not within his jurisdiction.
There the matter rested until Satur-
day night, when Col. Ward returned
to his headquarters on Governors Is
land, with the announcement that the
examining board would reconsider the
entire batch of 20 cadets who were d is
charged.
1t was believed at the island last
night that the action of the secretary
of war was due TO influences brought to
bear on the administration by Gen.
Lee

GOMEZ INDIGNANT
At Spanish Lies Circulated In America

At Spanish Lies Circulated In America-
Will Fight Until Cuba is Free.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1s.-A special cable
dispatch to the Sun from Havana says:
Information is received here from a
reliable source that Gen. Gomez and
the Cuban government have been
addressed by the junta of New
York requesting from them an
official declaration of their SEN
timents with regard to the ar
rangement reported in New York to
be making between the cabinets of
Madrid and Washington for granting
to Cuba some reforms on the part of
Spain for home rule in order to sat
isfy the revolutionists.
A special messenger from Havana
carried the document, which arrived
safely in the hands of Gomez and
President Cisneros at place near the
boundary of the province of Matan-
zas.
Gen. Gomez was very indignant over
the news that he was reported In the
United States TO be ready to enter
upon any negotiations whatsoever
with the Spaniards that are not based
upon absolute independence.
He at once prepared an answer
which will be signed not only by him
self but by the government, emphati-
cally denouncing as lies all the re-
ports about him spread by the Span
ish legation in Washington, and de-
claring that the war will continue un-
til Cuba is released forever from the
Spanish yoke. This answer will not
go to New York by way of Havana.
1t is intended for publication by all
the newspapers of America.

CUBAN REPRISALS,
Butcher Fondeviella Given a Sur
prise at Guanabacoa-
A Spanish Patrol, sent to Execute veR-
geance Upon n Suspected Cuban.
Fell Into an Ambuscade Pre-
pared for Thom.

KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. 17.-Intelli.
gence that reached the city to-day has
| thrown the Cubans into ecstasies, as
from reports Butcher" Fonde viella,
Spanish commander In Guanabacoa,
has had a taste of his own medicine,
losing many of his men in a well.
planned ambuscade by suspect whom
he had doomed.
Nearly all the houses of the sus-
poets there are marked and the in
mates know that it is but a question
of time till their turn comes. One
OF the suspects, Jesus Miranda, a res
taurant keeper, was secretly informed
by friends that he was to be visited
last Tuesday night. His house is To-
Gated near the city limits, and with
few residences near by. He sent word
to his friend, a captain of an insurgent
band, and so of his men were secretly
taken into the house and hidden away,
all armed TO the teeth.
Tuesday night, at about ten o'clock,
the Spaniards knocked at his door, and
as he did not opon quick enough
they knocked it down. Rushing in,
they found the lower foor vacant.
they did so the Cubans emerged from
their concealment, threw a huge flash
light In the faces of the affrighed
Spaniards and opened fire. Tho Span
iards were too much taken by surprise
to reply, and they attempted to fee.
To their horror they found another
strong force at the bottom of the
stairs. Caught between the two fires
they attempted to escape from the
windows, but the Cubans, now
thoroughly infuriated, cut them
down mercilessly with their machetes,
and but five of the entire 80 of the
patrol escaped. These fell and hid
under the bloody corpses of their COM
rades. The Cubans then fred the
house and escaped.
The Spaniards were attracted to the
spot by the fire, and they rescued
some of the dead bodies, but most of
them were cremated. Maj Fonde-
viella was furious at the news, and
issued strict orders that not word
should be given out about it. The
Cubans there soon knew of it, however,
and thrills of sympathy were felt
throughout the city. All patrols have
been doubled since then, and Fonde-
viella swears he will have two Cuban
lives for every one of his soldiers.
Over 300 families have moved to Ha-
vana this week. Wednesday night the
patrol killed two men of Cuban birth
near their own houses as they were
returning home not later than seven
o'clock, shooting them without halt
ing them.

Cremated In the Buckner Orphans Home
Near Dallas-Nine Others Injured. Three
Charges Boys Matron Britton Forgot
Her Own Children, Who PerIshed in the
Flames.
DALLAS, Tex, Jan. 17.-Fire com.
pletely destroyed the Buckner Or
phans' home, near here early yester-
day morning. Thirteen children were
cremated and nine injured, three OF
them fatally.
All the dead except. one were buried
last evening in the Home cemetery.
Rev. Mr.. Buckner, manager of the
home, officiated The Home physi-
clans are IN attendance on the injured.
All the farmers in the vicinity
turned out and assisted in making
coffins, digging graves and burying
the victims. There We're lat boys and
more than 100 girls in the home.
The fire was discovered about mid
night. Mrs. Britton, the boys ma
tron, had been in bed some time when
she was awakened by a smell of smoke.
She jumped to the floor, but found it
so hot she could not stand on it, and
she Immediately raised the cry of fire.
The attaches were hastily aroused
and sent in all directions to arouse the
children. Such was Mrs. Britton's IS
anxiety for the safety of the inmates
that she forgot her own children, and
despite her frantic efforts at rescue
they were burned to death.
The fire is believed to have origina-
ted in the room under that occupied
by Mrs. Britton. Before Mrs. Britton
retired for the night she had the boys
clean out and prepare a stove situated
In the room just under her for the
morning fire. She then sent one of
the larger boys to see II the work had
been properly done. He reported that
everything was all right, but it is be-
lieved some live Goals were scattered
on the carpet near the stove which
ignited and soon spread to the wood
work. The building was of wood and
the fire communicated to its various
wings with incredible rapidity.
The children were hastily aroused
and hurried from the building,
bed quilts. All were badly fright
ened, and when the shrieks of those
who were being cremated in the roar
ing mass of flames reached their ears
they became almost manageable,
and were with difficulty prevented
from rushing into the fire in an at
tempt at rescue.
The building was soon destroyed,
and at daylight the work of searching
the ruins was taken up. All the chill
dren were accounted for by noon.
The home was ten miles from Dallas
and it would have been impossible to
get aid out in tine had it been asked
for. The matter will be Investigated.

TREASURE TROvE.
A Fortune Found In the Eaves of an Old
Building,


Building.
MnLvILLE, N. j. Jan. 17.-While
working on an old building on the
Hayes property, near Port Elizabeth,
Somers Cole, carpenter, found a for
tune secreted in the caves of the struc-
ture in long box. 1t consisted of
bonds, mortgages, gold and silver
coin and paper money, aggregating
nearly $25, 900.
Cole was extremely happy over his
find, but it will probably not benefit
him much, as Lawyer Newcomb, of
this city, says he was the administra-
tor of the Hayes estate and will take
charge of the box.
The fortune will be claimed by Lor-
EMO Hayes, of Millville, who states
that he is the oldest living heir. He
says that he and his sister searched
for the money up to ten years ago, and
then gave up in disgust. He is now
20 years of age, and states that the
money belonged to his grandfather,
John Hayes, and the three daughters
of the latter.
