Insurgents Force an Entrance Into the
 Town of Tapaste.
 Havana, Jan. 19-The newspapers here now give incomplete details of an attack made by the rebels upon Ta- paste, province of Havana The fight occurred on January 10, and the fact that the news of the engagement has been so long suppressed Is taken to in- dicate a Spanish defeat
 The newspapers state, under govern ment permission, that when the insur- gents attacked the town the residents took refuge in church. The Spanish defended the place for four hours until the rebels retired. No mention is made of the losses on either side Further details are at hand of the recent rebel attack upon Placetas, province of Santa Clara. The rebels entered the town from different directions. They crossed the line of forts and attacked several houses. Later there was fierce fighting in the streets which lasted for three hours, when the rebels were driven out of the town.
 The insurgents left six dead in the streets. The garrison had sixteen men wounded. One woman resident was killed and three male citizens and child were wounded Nineteen persons in the town have been arrested on the charge of having been implicated in the attack

GOLD DEMOCRAT SELECTED
hyESSRS. NEARY,S AND KENNEDY,S
 PROTEST OF NO AVAIL.

New Haven County Members Elect Audi
 Chairman of Republican Caucus Judges
 for Waterbury Will be Selected Next
 Week-Ten M embers May Call a Meeting.
 Reuben H. Tucker, republican. of Ansonia, and William P. Hill, gold democrat, of Guilford, were elected auditors yesterday afternoon at the caucus of the New Haven county mem bers of the senate and the house of representatives.
 The caucus was called to order by Representative Andrews of East Ha- ven, who said that it was his duty to do so because Of his age. which he neither regretted nor was ashamed of
 On motion of Representative Averill of New Haven, Reuben H. Tucker was chosen chairman of the caucus. MT. Averill was selected for clerk. The only business before the meeting was the selection of auditors, as the county commissioners report was ready to be submitted.
 The republicans nominated Repre- sentative Tucker, who was elected without opposition.
 Representative Neary nominated A. K. Kennedy, and he had no sooner taken his seat than Colonel Leaven- worth of Wallingford arose and placed in nomination William P. Hill of Guil- ford, gold democrat, the representa- tive announcing him as such.
 Representative Neary said that 1t hoI x1 members of different parties. He real ized that he could do nothing in the face of so large majority, but he ab- jured his republican colleagues to rec ognize the only democratic party.
 Representative Cowell said that he did not know that he was competent to judge of the merits of democracy, but he certainly thought that the dem ocrat who stood by the platform adopt ed by the convention held in New Ha- ven last June should be elected He assured Representative Weary that this silver fever was like the measles they would get over 1t all; and these old sterling fellows who had stood by sound money would be found in the lead.
 But Representative Weary did not think 1t a joke to do away with what he thought was a time-honored cus- tom
 An informal ballot was taken, which resulted as follows: Whole number of votes cast, 32; Kennedy, 6; Hill 26. Another protest was offered by Mir. Neary, who suggested that the statutes provided that the auditors should be chosen from different parties. The general statutes were produced, but there was nothing in them that pro- hibited the auditors being taken from one political party. MT. Kennedy also protested, but the result of the formal ballot gave 30 votes to Hill and to Kennedy. MT. Kennedy asked that his protest be recorded. The caucus then sd journed.
 The republican members met iinmedi- ately after the adjournment and or ganized with Representative Tucker as chairman and Representative Hall of Waterbury as secretary. The caucus will meet next Wednesday afternoon at o'clock to select a district judge and deputy district judge for Water bury.
 E On motion of Representative Barnes 1t was voted that the chairman should call a meeting if ten members request ed it.

FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR'S.
Results of Elections in Various State Legis-
 latures.

ihthtCos
 Springfield, H.. Jan. 1s.-William D. Mason was tonight nominated by ac- clamation for United States senator at the joint republican caucus, all other candidates withdrawing when 1t be- came apparent that nothing could keep the Chicago man from receiving enough votes to make him the nominee. To- morrow he will be elected at a joint session of the general assembly. It be- came evident last night that Lorimer could not hold Cook county. This even ing twenty-five Cook county men went into caucus, the others (thirteen) refus- ing to participate. Lorimer's chances were discussed at length and by no combination suggested could he hope for senatorial success. He therefore withdrew in favor of Mason. When Mr. Carr heard of the result he withdrew and rendered his support to Mason. When the joint caucus met Mason was nominated without a bal lot.
 Jefferson City, Mo, Jan. 19.-Both houses voted separately for United States senator to-day. The ballot re- suited as follows: In the house--Vest, dem., S5; Kerens, rep, 34; Jones, pop, 4. In the senate-Vest 19; Kerens. IA. Tomorrow both houses will meet in joint session and re-elect Senator Vest. Colorado.
 Denver, Col, Jan. 19.-Semator Henry M. Teller was to-day reelected United States senator in both houses of the general assembly, the vote being non- partisan and almost unanimous. Nom- mating speeches were made by demo- crats, populists and silver republicans, and the total vote of the two houses shows 94 for Teller and 8 for Judge AL len, who was nominated by the Me- Kinleyites. The joint session will be held tomorrow, when, 1t is thought, but two votes, if any, will be cast in opposition to Senator Tellers re-elec- l tion.

Graham Was Sentenced
on ii in District Court.
Convicted of Being a Com
mon Railer and BraWler.
He Had Made Great Trouble For the
0'Briens For Many Months.

William III. Graham. a file cutter by
trade whose home is at IA Lyme street, has
the distinction of being the first man in
Rhode Island To be charged, convicted and
sentenced for being common railer and
brawler.
Graham was due in the Sixth District
Court yesterday morning but when an
officer went to his house Graham was not
at home. Not that Graham suspected
anybody after him but his absence was
accidental.
Graham and his family live on tho
lower portion Of "A four-family house at IA
Lyme street and among the other tenants
Is John O'Brien ana his wife, who IL Is
said, own the house but for some reason
unknown canno5 get the Graham family
out of the tenement
About five months ago O'Brien and
his wife were convicted in the Sixth DIS
trlct Court for assaulting Graham and
since then Graham has had picni, with
the o Briens
His great trick was to open the win
dows and doors of his coop and call tho
o. Briens and the other tenants foul
names. When told by any of them
to keep quiet he would answer I'm in
my own house and can do as 1 like" and
he did so for months.
The O'Briens at last could stand IL no
longer, so they called on Chief of Police
Baker and told their story.
The chief looked over the laws carefully
and at last came to the conclusion that
Graham could be arraigued on warrant
charging him with being common raiier
and brawler.
When erraigned in the Sixth District
Court this morning he pleaded guilty and
wasusent to the state farm for six months
