GREAT BATTLE
Won BY the Cubans, One of the Most Inn.
porlant of the War.

HAVANA, Feb 27-The estate Of
Juan Criollo, in the province of Santa
Clara, is becoming famous. Besides
The great victory Gen. Gomez won there
IN February the Cuban general has
Just obtained in the same place the
most important success since the revo-
tuition began.
The utmost efforts of the Spanish
authorities in Havana have been eX-
erted to suppress all news of the en-
yagement.
Gen. Gasgo, at the head of /, 500 men,
met Gen. Gomez on the estate of Juan
Criollo. Gomez was marching with
5000 men. Gen. Gasco gave orders to
retire, while his rear guard was in
structed to keep up fighting to
prevent the Cubans from too rapidly
pursuing. Gomez ordered his cavalry
to advance rapidly on the TANKS of
the Spanish column. Gasco ordered
his column to form a square and stand
with fixed bayonets against the Cuban
cavalry.
Go1nez's cavalry and infantry then
began to fire. AS soon as the Span
deploy themselves in guerrilla order
the Cuban cavalry attacked them. The
fight had been in progress two hours
and Gasco had already lost more than
100 men killed, when Gen. Segura ap-
peared with a column. Segura adj
vanced resolutely against the Cuban
cavalry, obliging Gomez to withdraw
the two lines with which he was at
lacking Gasco The Cuban cavalry
then formed in one body to the left
and the infantry faced Segura S
troops.
But unexpectedly for the Spaniards,
the Cuban artillery began to fire from
the higher of two hills. The dynamite
gun did splendid work. Three shells,
exploding in the ranks of Segura, blew
up so men.
Gasco was then on La Reforma es-
tate. Then Segura's force also retired
Seeing that the forces of Segura were
also defeated, Gascc sent messengers
asking help from Jatibuonico or Tag
asco. Gen. Ruis came with 1,2OC
men. At the approach of these, Go
mez retire d to the Juan Criollo estate.
The Cuban cavalry suddenly turning
on both sides, attacked them, while
the patriot infantry, holding the two
hills, with the artillery on the higher
one, made havoc in the Spanish lines.
Again the Spanish forces, leaving
more than 500 killed on the plain, were
routed in great disorder. The news Of
this battle reached Gen. Weyler at
Placeta. He was i'll. Some say that
he has been wounded, others that he
is suffering from fever, and again it
is affirmed that his illness was produc-
ed by the shock of the news of this
battle. 1t was a brilliant master
stroke by Gomez. 1t will usher in the
season with all Cubans in good spirits.

attending it.
Mr.. Corliss said that the memorials
presented by Mr. Murray and which
were the subject OF the hearing were
addressed Ito the congress of the
United States" and asked Mr.. Pope if
he thought, under these circumstances
if it should not be joint, the senate
participating. Mr.. Pope replied that
the house committee. he thought,
could act indepe ndently, but individu-
ally he favored a joint investigation.
After further hearing the committee
went into executive session and de-
cided to submit the facts gathered by
them to the house with the recon-
mendation that the whole matter be
referred to the next congress. In view
of its Importance it was deemed I'M

grams from Madrid received at the
Spanish legation regarding the death
of Ruiz, show that the government is
aroused to most energetic action and
that orders have gone forward to Cuba

for whether he is an American or not,
the government has determined that
if crime has been committed those
guilty shall be punished. If Gen
Lees charges are correct that the doc

military law will be executed on those
responsible.

The HOUSEHOLD.
Economy In Lamp Chimneys.

"That lamp acts fairly viciousl u

snap and a crack heralded again the
frailty of glass. $50 many lamp chin
neys will bankrupt me; but / can't see

doP"
81 get mine from Johnson's, where
do you get yours?"
81 get mine at the same place." re-
piled Mrs. L., and the chimneys broke
just as you say yours do; but a friend
came to stay with me a few days and
she begged the privilege of cleaning
my lamps for me. i allowed her to do
it and she took the lamp apart, washed
it and cleaned the tubes, and it was
surprising how much refuse had COL
lected in it. The tubes were literally
clogged. 1 forgot now just what she
used to clean them, but l think q knit
ting needle bent so that it could be in
serted. The wick, too, was washed
and l was surprised to find that my
chimneys showed no signs of breaking
and that the light was far better. l
pass my knowledge on to you, and may
be it will cure your lamp of its de-
pravity.
Mrs. g. tried this remedy and found
it 30 effectual that she would like to
pass it on to the multitude who use
student lamps.
A year or 30 ago 1 visited in a family
where there was trouble with a lamp.
1t would not burn, and it was needed.
No n could tell what the matter was.
| had an idea the wick was gummed
from long use or standing, and suggest
ed that it be washed or replaced by a
new one. A new one was not conven.
lent, 30 the old one was washed and the
lamp burned as well as ever.
1t pays to keep lamps clean, not only
because of the chimney, but because
they will give a better light, and then
the odor from an unclean coal-o lamp
is very disagreeable, to say the least.
New wicks cost little, and it would
seem that economy would not need to
stretch a point here to allow plenty of
lamp wicks. Keep the burners clean
by boiling them up occasionally in
strong suds. Then if they are rubbed
with silver polish or whiting and am
monia they will keep clean with little
trouble. Brass can be kept clean with
silver polish, too, and 30 can nickel.
A certain lamp that I have had for
years always gave me trouble about
turning the wick up. Finally l took a
piece Of felt, cut it the right size, slipped
it into the burner and, Prestol it
turned up all right and burns finely.
The wick was too wide or too sleazy for
the teeth of the burner to catch and
bring up properly. Felt is so firm it
makes ideal wicks.

True to Each Other.

There is a lady serving as clerk in
n of the executive departments here
whose romance is unknown to her as
sociates, but was told the other day by
a friend to the Washington correspon.
dent of the Philadelphia Times. She is
rather advanced in years now, but still
retains many of the attractions of body
and mind that made her a belle thirty
years ago. She is of Southern birth,
and shortly before the war became en-
gagged to a young man in her native city
of Mobile. When the war broke out
her father, who had most of his prop
erty invested in the North and was the
Southern representative of a New York
cotton house, left Mobile and bought a
residence in the highlands of New Jer-
sey. There he lived, and the daugh.
ter, by some methods known only to
herself, kept up communication with
her lover, who became an officer in
the Confederate army. He, learning
that she was seriously ill, got leave of
absence from his commander and get
ting though the Union lines on a
forged pass, made his appearance at
her home in New Jersey. She and her
family were, of course, very much as
tonished at seeing him and were
alarmed lest his identity should be dis
covered. They introduced him to their
friends as a relative from abroad, but a
discharged servant, learning who he
was, avenged himself by informing the
provost marshal at Jersey City. The
young man vas arrested as a spy and
sent to Fort Lafayette, where he re-
manned a prisoner for several months,
until, through the intercession of Sec
rotary Seward, he was released on pa
role and permitted to leave the country
upon guarantee made by his prospec-
tive father. in-law that he would neither
return to the United States nor join
the Confederate army. Before sailing
he married the girl and they lived in
Paris until the war was over. In 1866
they returned to the United States and
he took a position in a commercial
house in New York, which he held un-
til he died. Several years ago his
widow, then in impoverished circum-
stances, wal provided with an appoint
ment in the treasury department
through the influence of John j. Knox,
at that time comptroller of the currency.

One on Lincoln.

he and Lincoln went in quest of their
respective animals.
A crowd gathered, anticipating some
fun, and when the Judge returned first
the laugh was uproarous. He led, or
rather dragged, at the end of q halter

ruped-blind in both eyes-that ever
pressed turf. But presently Lincoln
came along carrying owe his shoulders
a carpenters horse. Then the mirth
of the crowd was furious. Lincoln
solemnly set his horse down, and
silently surveyed the judges animal
with a comical look OF infinite disgust.
"Well, judge" he finally said, -" this
is the first time I ever got the worst of
it in a horse trade"

POLITICAL.
The Democrats and the Dingley
Tariff.

There is no oppression in limiting
the tariff debate in the House to ten
days. The main thing is to enact as
soon as possible a bill which shall yield
the revenue needed by the govern.
ment.
The opposition of the democrats in
Congress to the particular measure
which Mr.. Dingley and his associates
have prepared for that purpose, is
purely formal and p%erfunctory. They
desire, as much as any republican can
desire, that the Dingley bill shall be-
come a law without delay. Even if
they believed it to be a bad tariff, ex-
%travagant in some of its features, fool
ishly anti-protective in some, and as a
whole inadequate to produce the addi-
tional revenue which the treasury
must have, there is every political
reason under the sun why they should
promote its passage, rather than offer
distractions. That is to say, the
sooner the Wilson tariff is out of the
way, and u new tariff in force for
which the republican party is solely
responsible, the better, from a party
standpoint, it will be for such rem.
nants of democracy as Cleveland and
Bryan, between them, have left to the
country.
Therefore we expect to see the bill
drawn by Mr.. Dingley go through
House and Senate and to the White
House for signature, smoothly, speed
lily, substantially in its present form,
and without any more violent or OBJ
structive opposition than the proprie-
ties of partisan etiquette require.
That is likewise what the country X
pects.-New York Sun.
