EDlSON'S WTASCOPE.
Beautiful East Lake Continues to Be Crowded With Eager Spectators-A
 New Plan Now in Vogue.

Edisons wonderful vitascope attracted another large crowd to East Lake yester- day afternoon and last night. The ani- mated pictures are so nearly real that the spectator forgets that he is only gazing on the result of the wonderful inven- tion of fellow being.
 New pictures are being constantly added and include the Mckinley inau- gural parade, the burning stable on Edi- sons farm, the water melon contest, the army of employees leaving the thread mills and the great "Black Diamond" express train.
 The last picture is a wonderfuhachieve- ment and 1t Is a natural inference, while looking at it, to mistake it for a real passenger train. so perfect and life like is it's appearance.
 The exhibitions are given every after noon at o'clock and every night at g.. Ample accommodation is provided and excellent transportation facilities ar ranged. -.l
 Beginning last night a new plan has been adopted whereby all passengers on the electric cars are given tickets for a reserved seat in the spacious pavilion.

NEWS FROM CUBA.
Bandera, the Lnsurgent Leader Crossed the Military Line, Though at ,Se- rious Cost of Men and Muni-
 tion of War.

Havana April f3.-Senor Fontane.s, the publiS prosecutor, who is to push the trial of the government officials arrested at Cienfuegos by order of Capt.-Gen. Weyler. has arrived there.
 A dispatch from Camajuay announces the arrest there of police inspector and twelve gamblers.
 It is officially stated that great activity prevails among the troops operating against the insurgents in the province of Santa Clara. Capt Gen. Wey.er, on Sr- irving at Sancti Spiritus, learned that gent leader, had passed the military line across the province of Puerto Principe from Jucasro to Moron and the Island of Turigano before the Alphonse XIII. bat talion occupied that island, The insur- gents succeeded in passing through the swamp lands between the island and Mo- ron The captain general has ordered the Alava and Visca battalions to pursue the enemy.
 A skirmish with the latter has already taken place at Picojoe. The insurgents left eight men killed on the field, among them Lieut.. Damien Gonzales, as well as 1000 cartridges, five Mauser rifles, a quantity of medical stores and the diary of Quintin Bandera. Bandera was ac- companied by only 150 men.
 The Barcelano battalionGhas killed fif- teen men in a skirmish, and it is believed that the latter formed part of Bandera's s band or of dispersed groups formerly be- longing to the force commanded by Gen. Maximo Gomez. The troops in the en- gagenent with Bandera's insurgents had fifteen men wounded.
 The Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes sailed from this port yesterday with the chief of staff of the marine department, Frigate Capt. Marenco on board. He is going to inspect the coasts of Cuba.

Ritter Murder Mystery.

The cold-blooded murder OF Amos
Ritter near Watsontown is still shroua-
ed in mystery. The only real mixing
or incriminating material at hand now
are the red cotton handkerchiets that
were found over the face of the dead
man when discovered. The detec
tive has traced them to store IN
Dewart where they were purchased
The proprietor of the notion store
states positively that the hanoker-
chiefs were bought at his place but he
does not remember the purchasers
However, he admitted that certain
characters of Watsontown suspected
of the crime, frequently purchased al
his place of business.
1t is said that the county commis
sioner will offer a reward OF $500 to
the apprehension and conviction c
the criminals.
