BOLD RAID ON CASA BLANCA.
REBEL BULLETS SEEK THE PALACE
AT HAVANA.

Some of Them Believed to Have Hit
It-ReIease of Gen. Ruiz Rivera the
object of the Raid, But 1t Failed
because of a Misunderstanding on
the Part of COnfederates Inside the
Prison-The Rebels Also Fail in
Their Intention to Hang n Spy.
New York Nov. 25-On Sunday morning
for the first time in the history of the Gu
han war, rebel bullets sought the palace
in Havana, says a dispatch to the Herald
from Havana.
The shots came from Casa Blanca,
600 yards across the entrance to the har-
Dor, and while nobody was hurt, the pal
ace with it's shining lights, was a shin
ing mark, and must have been hit. The
Spanish authorities attempt to make light
of the affair, but at the same time a re-
porter for La Lucha who wrote up and at
tempted to publish the facts in the case
was arrested and is still incommunicado.
The attack on Casa Blanca was made
by Brig Gen. Rafael de Cardenas and fifty
rebels They entered the town shortly
before midnight on horseback, and at the
end of the four hours each man led out of
town a horse with one extra he had ap-
propriated, laden with clothing provis-
ions, silver plate and considerable money.
Before they left they fired two volleys
across the narrow harbor entrance at the
palace and then coolly retired to friends
house inside the Spanish lines and took
supper, previously ordered. All this was
under the guns of Cabanas and Moro.
1t is learned from an inside source that
the object of the rebels was to effect the
release of Gen. Ruiz Rivera and hang a
citizen named Fumeiro, who is known as
spy. They failed in the first only be-
cause of some misconception regarding
the appointed time on the part of the con-
federates within the prison, with whom ar
engagements had been made to admit the
raiders into the fortress. Fumiero manag-
ed to escape across the harbor
The whole affair was well planned. Gen.
Cardenas Cain early in the evening with
two colonels rode along the seashore, and
at 10 o'clock the men followed. The first
visit was to Cabanas. When they saw that
the arrangements had failed the rebels
went after Fumiero He fed across the
harbor, and the rebels did not dare to fol-
low. Then the rebels went to Casa de los
ituiiS, " IhS pIleSl > HouSe, WneTe Iney
took blankets, silverplate and money. This
house is close to Moro Castle. The priests
made great outcry but no soldiers came.
The rebels then sacked the store of Fun
Zero, securing some gold. They also looted
three other stores without molestation.
The authorities made every effort to sup
press the details of the raid, though an Of
fetal report admitted that six rebels en-
tered the town.
The rebels approached and fired upon
Mariana last night. There was great ex-
citement. The volunteers were called out
and along with the troops returned the
rebel fire. The rebels did not succeed in
entering the town. The lines have been
strengthened all about Havana.

GOLD STATUE OF M'KINLEY.
Ada Rehan to BE Outdone For the
Paris Exposition.

New York. Nov. 25-Ada Rehan, in sill
yer, is to be outshone by William Nc
Kinley in gold. according to the Herald.
The added fame which the actress ac-
quired by posing for the Montana statue
of solid silver exhibited at the world s
fair in 1898 is to be approached, if not
eclipsed, by the President of the United
States, who will furnish the figure for
a life-size statue of solid gold.
f. d. Highly of Chicago, who will prob
ably induce several wealthy capitalists to
furnish such statue for exhibition al the
Paris exposition in 1900 is on his way to
Washington to get the consent of Presi-
dent Mckinley to pose for the figure
This statue from its base up viii con-
tain bullion to the value of $1,050 600,
said Mr.. Highly. while it was designed
primarily to first exhibit this statue at
Paris in 1900. the directors of the pan
American exposition to be held in Cayuga
Islands, in the Niagara river, in 1899, are
anxious to have it completed in time for
exhibition there first 1t Is likely that
this arrangement will be made. Z cannot
divulge much as to the capitalists who
are back of this. but there are half a
dozen of them, and they are ready to go
to work on it as soon as the design is
cOmDleted" "
