Teachers Driven Out and Pupils
Grossly Insulted.
Havana, Aug. "A party of Spanish
soldiers made raid on girls school
at Guanbacoa, which was attended al
most wholly by the daughters of well
known Cuban insurgents. The teach
ers were driven out and the pupils were
grossly treated. Late in the night eight
girls attending the school were arrest
ed at their homes and taken out by
the soldiers without being given time
to dress. They were grossly insulted
en- the streets. The soldiers were so
openly gross that the officers had to
threaten them with arrest IL they did
not desist. A large crowd followed
them threateningly, and were only dis
persed when additional troops were
called out and ordered to fire on the
mob if it did not withdraw. The Span
ish officials allege that the women and
girls were acting as spies for the in
surgent cause, and that the school was
merely a blind"
All Havana is ringing with a trick
played upon the major of Havana vol
unteers at Marlanao, which has just
become known. Mariana Is great
summer resort, and has a garrison of
500 troops. Major Salas and four or
five brother officers made up party
of friends, taking the ladies along
There were "a in the party. After
reaching the place they were warned
to be on the lookout, as insurgents were
in the neighborhOod. Suddenly a band
of CubanS sv01ounsed them and quick
ly disarmed the officers so that not
shot was fired or any alarm given.
Then they compelled the men to ar
range the tables for feast, under pain
of death The officers were gagged and
partly bound. When this was done
they &C :npelled the musicians to strike
up. The ladies' We're made to sit down
with them and partake Of food. After
ward they danced to the music brought
by the Spanish officers. After an
hours sport" of this kind, the insur-
gents rode off first taking the arms of
