Havana, via Key West, June 16.-A
large force under General Quintin Ban
dera succeeded in destroying a body of
Spanish near Sabana. General Bandera
placed his men in ambush and then in
structed five scouts to approach fort
where the Spaniards were barricaded.
The Spaniards sailed forth from the

ningly fell back, leading their pursuers
into the heart of Bandera's ambush. A
hot fight ensued, first with musketry, but
finally hand to hand. All Of General Ban
dera's men were negroes with machetes.
Ten of the insurgents were killed and
the entire pursuing party of the Spani-
ards

THE LARGEST CIRCULATION NORTH DAILY PAPER
WHAT ENGLISH PAPERS SAY.
The Annexation of Hawaii Considered a
Deviation from MonrOe's Doctrine.

London, June 16.-Most of the morn
ing papers contain editorials on the pro-
posed annexation of Hawaii.
The Times says: "The United States
government has made a new departure
from its historical policy. The action of
Japan is hardly likely to retard the Sen
ate's speedy acceptance of the treaty, for
the Senate at the present time will not
pay much Difference to the feeling of
the country.
Such an acquisition Of foreign de-
tendencies will bring of necessity O new
and serious foreign policy, which cannot
in all cases be determined by an unlim-
tied application of Monroeism.
will America pursue the colonizing
course upon which she has now en-
tered? President Mckinley tries hard to
represent the case as wholly exceptional,
but the forces tending in an opposite di-
rection are very strong"
The Morning Post says: President Nc
kinley should be satisfied to shelve the
matter, now he has brought it before the
public. Japan is not likely to consent
without a struggle; England will require
a quid pro quo. and the affair will
scarcely escape the notice of the Austria
lians."
The Daily News admits that the United
States has a superior claim and expects
that the japanese protest will be merely
diplomatic.

AND THE SIZZLE CONTINUES.
The Hot Weather Confined to the South
Atlantic States.

All day long yesterday the sun poured
down upon the streets, heating them
blistering hot. The people sweltered
and ''cussed," raising the temperature a
few notches. But it didn't have any
effect upon Mr.. Won Herrmann's ther-
mometer up in the top of the Fisher
building, and that at 3 o'clock stood at
95-the same it was Tuesday. And no
relief in sight.
Mr. Won Hermann, who makes the
weather, says this is TO continue for some
time. 1t is confined, though, to the South
Atlantic States with it's centre about
Savannah where the temperature was
100. Florida, Alabama, Georgia, South
Carolina and North Carolina are the
principal States affected.
The conditions last night were favora-
BILE to thunder-storms in the northwest,
but none were in sight for the South.
While the people complain of the heat
the crops and the street car company
fiourish-and DIR. Blacknall at Morehead,
they say, is initiating the green bay tree.
