A CHURCH THE TRAP.
Spanish Forces at Pelanos Surprised
and Routed.

KEY WEST. Fla, Jan. 24-Another
defeat for the Spanish is reported from
Pelanos, in the southern part of Ha-
vana province. The place has 1000 in
habitants, Is well fortified and has a
Spanish garrison of 600 men, with one
field piece. Lieut.. Col. Hernandez. in
command of 500 insurgent cavalrymen.
made a dash at the town Monday
afternoon while the troops were at the
church celebrating some local holiday.
Before they could form the insurgents
had possession of the block house fort.
The cannon was trained at the church,
and before the Spanish were fully
aware Of what was the trouble solid
shot came hurting through its walls.
while cries of Cuba libre" filled the
air. Out they rushed, only to fall be-
fore a deadly volley from a strong
force posted behind some neighboring
houses. Col. Muncio, the Spanish off,
Ger, bravely rallied his men, but as
they formed for charge he fell with
dozen balls through him.
The second in command took his
place, but he too fell in a few seconds,
time, the sharpshooters of Hernandez
dealing death with a rapidity that
made the troops panic-stricken. They
made one more attempt to charge the
block house, but Hernandez's cavalry
reserve dashed at them, sweeping
through their ranks, cutting a bloody
path with their nfatchetes
They turned and agin they came
through the crowded ranks of the
Spanish, carrying death in their tracks,
though many empty saddles spoke Of
the bravery of the Spanish troopers.
The Spanish then retired, it being
rout, though a portion stubbornly pro-
tected their rear, making stands until
forced to retire bV HernandeZ'S fierce
charges. After pursuing them nearly
to Cajoio, on the coast Of Hernandez,
they withdrew. They burned the fort

asked is excessive, and they feel that
they were not fairly dealt with by the
county attorney when they presented
their sureties Saturday night. The
fact, however, that they have been able
to overcome this little difficulty has a
tendency to make them forget the first
obstacle met with since the return or
Mr.. Haney to Minneapolis.
Every indication seems to point to
determination on the part of Mr.. Haney
to refuse to gain his liberty by telling
the inner workings Of the alleged coun-
Gil combine. 1t was generally under
stood prior to Haney'S arrival here that
he would go before the grand jury to-
day and tell them everything he knew.
IN fact, 1t was given out on very good
authority that a programme had been
finally arranged and that there was no
possibility whatever of it not being
carried out to the letter. That the
county attorney and the leaders Of the
civic federation fully believed that this
course would be pursued there is little
doubt. All they wanted was Mr.. Han
ey's presence. They have him now.
but things have taken on a different
hue.
There Is more probability that Mr.
Haney will be subpoenaed to appear be-
fore the grand jury today or tomoc-
row. The length of his session with
that body will be the best evidence the
outsider has whether or not he has
given up" 1t will take him but a
few minutes to explain to them that 1t
would but incriminate himself if he
were to give testimony before them,
provided, of course, that he can be in
crIminated, but it would take several
hours for him to tell all his accusers
believe him to know of municipal af-
fairs
Those who hope that Mr.. Haney will
take the course which will give him
his liberty, at the expense of others,
point to the action of Attorney Hall III
asking the court that he be allowed to
change his plea Of mot guilty tomor-
row, which they look upon as a favor
able omen. When asked in regard to
that phase of the question, Mr.. Hall
simply smiled and looked wise. He
had nothing whatever to say. He had
been retained by Mr. Haney as his at
tCrney, and was doing what should be
done for his client
If Haney does not go before the
grand jury for a lengthy session and
does not change his plea tomorrow, he
will remain in Minneapolis until his
trial, Feb. rs. He declares that he is as
anxious as any one to have it over
with as soon as possible, and will run
all risks arising from a sojourn in Min
neapolis in order to accomplish that
purpose. He seems to feel perfectly
confident, although his attorney will
allows him to say nothing vindicating
himself. This confidence is equally
shared by Mr.. Hail.

M'KINLEY TAKES COMFORT.
Weather Kept the Offceseekers
Away for o. Day.

CANTON. O., Jan. 24:-With the mer-
curry lowering near zero out of doors all
day and the earth shrouded in a deep
covering of snow, caught up by flurries
of wind and hurled into the faces of
pedestrians, the McKinleys found their
home the most comfortable place for
them today, and there they remained
except during the hour of morning wor-
ship, when the major attended services
at the First Methodist Episcopal
church. He was accompanied to and
from the church by, his old Canton
friend, Josiah Hartzell, and Alex. Fl :.

the Mckinley house during the day. A
number Of callers were received during
the day, but there was little of polit-

BETTER WEEK FOR BULLS.
Wheat Holders Are Ahead on the
Weeks transactions.

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-The Times Her
aid, in its review and forecast of the
wheat market, tomorrow will say:
Wheat holders did better last week
than the shorts, although the Saturday
price was not quite so good as the
Monday The bears started conf
IDENTIFY. They made Roadway enough
for the first few days to gain courage
ard to double up. Suddenly their luck
gave out Selling efforts did not ac-
complish anything. The covering Fri
day and Saturday easily absorbed all
the early profits. The experience was
precisely like others within the past
thirty days. The situation look spec
ulatively bearish, but in some way or
ether, after a certain amount Of SELL
ing, the market showed congestion
Raiders found themselves isolated, and
in getting back their lines first advan-
tages would all be lost
One of the queer features just now Is
that Liverpool looks to America for an
explanation Of the hesitation of prices,
while America wonders why the En-
gIishmen have stopped their buying
NO one appears to appreciate that it is
ali extraordinary thing for a market
TO maintain a 25-cent rally. The ex-
cept1onal advance for September to De-
cember spoiled the spectators taste
for anything ordinary. He would have
quotations move right on up or right
straight back. He has apparently for
gotten that f1uctuation of cents in
a week is normal and not bad one
for commission man.
st. Louis kept to the fore. The week
previous 1t started comment by OPEN
ing a. short selling campaign with a
Hourlsh. Southwestern courage did
not hold out. A little cash business
down there demoralized it as quickly
and as completely as similar incidents
had converted the same sort of spirit
here. A week ago 1t was possible to
say that a short sellers party was on
the field. 1t was hardly here Saturday
night
Herein lies one strength of the mar
ket just now, that there are deter
mined holders while there are no stead
fast sellers. The few bulls who zeal
ously believe themselves right discon-
cert the great crowd of bears, who are
not quite certain whether they are
right or not. Zeal in any cause counts
for a good deal. The wheat shorts,
who feel that the bull zealots are mis-
directed fanatics, can vouch for that.
The government report today may
have some effect on prices, although 1t
will be merely the official estimate OF
last years crops. The assumption is
that the 1896 wheat total will be put as
around 450.00O,O00 bushels. Possibly
that figure might have temporarily a
bearish effect, as it would be a consid-
cradle advance over the October sug-
gestion, crop of Ais, SOC, 900 bushels.
On the other hand, a figure under 1885,
600, 900 bushels would probably have u
temporary bullish effect, as that would
be considerably under all private ssti
mates. The government figures, what
ever they are, will not be a factor long
nor to any extent, and the trade will
soon return to it's own statistics of
stocks, receipts and exports, which are
more exact than any crop guess.

HIS VISION IS PERVERTED.
A Boy Who Writes Backward, but
Sees 1t as If Written Correctly.

A remarkable case Of what for want of a
better name, is called perverted vision is just
now attracting much attention in North
The victim Of this strange malady is John
Gh1dotu, six-year-old boy who attends the
pubic schools of that city PhvsicalIv and
mentally, far as scientists and physicians
can determine, he in no way differs from other
poys OF ms age, except that it is practically
manner. He uses his left hand writing from
backward.
This peculiarly Of the boy was noticed "a
soon as he began to take writing lessons. He
learned the letters quickly, and wrote rapidly
tor one SO young, but his writing was invari-
ably in the reverse order.
Starting from the wrong side Of the page
ne would cover his copybook with characters
winch looked unlike anything called writing
but II the page was held before a mirror the
reflection was perfectly IegibIe and appeared
IKE ordinary writing. Strange to say, he
makes hgures In the proper manner. Yet he
ngures from left to right and letters Just the
reverse. 1t seems impossible to teach this
child that there is anything peculiar about his
ch1rography, and he persists that his hand
writing is like that of any other person.
One may guide his right hand over line
OF copy in the proper manner, but the moment
his hand IS released he instantly changes the
pencil to his left hand and commences to
write In his Notwithstanding glass fashion.
Another peculiar feature of this perverted
vision is that apparently he has no diff
Guilty in reading the handwriting Of other
persons, although there is such a difference
between his own and that Of others.
His teacher, Miss Alice c. Buckley, SAYS
that he evidently tries very hard to do as
ne is told but it is as difficult for him to
write In the ordinary manner as it would be
for another to practice his unique method
She cannot make up her mind whether his
difficulty comes from a defect in his eyes or
from the fact that he is left-handed but
she has little hope of remedy unless she can
induce the child to his right hand
DR.: C. W. Wright, of North Adams, a.
specialist on the eye, after a number Of ex-
aminations Of the boys eyes, has arrived at
the conclusion that the child is, to use his
own expression, "a freak of nature" He
does not, however, think that there is any
unusual crossing CT the nerve fbers Of the
eye. The doctor, in all his years of expert
ence, never met with an analogous case.
Some years ago a returning Arctic ex-
plorer told of a number of Esquimaux whom
he met in the North of Greenland who. when
he gave thsm some colored Autographs, per-
sisted in hanging them upside down, and
when asked why they did so declared that
only when they were SO hung did they aQ-
pear natural.
To these natives the actual individual or
object seemed to occupy a proper position,
but in the case of pictures, apparently, they
found 1t necessary TO reverse them in order
to appreciate them.

HANEY HAS BONDSMElN,
He VIII Go Before the Grand Jury
Today.

Charles F. Haney spent Sunday at
the Nicollet house. He had an abund-
ance of callers, who were allowed. how
ever to remain but a few minutes. Act
ing upon the advice Of his physician.
he remained in bed during the entire
day, the swelling in his knees having
increased somewhat during the night.
Deputy Sheriff Eye, who has been
with Haney for nearly two weeks past,
was relieved early in the morning by
Deputy Sheriff Clement, who remained
at the hotel until 6 o'clock in the even
ing, when Mr.. Eye again appeared,
after having spent the few hours re-
lease given him in company with his
family. Mr.. Eye will remain with Mr..
Haney until such time as the ex-c;ty
clerk shall be released on bond
Mr.. Haney was Of course, very much
disappointed at the action Of County
Attorney Peterson in refusing to ac-
cept the sureties secured by Attorney
Hall. He had been so confident that
he would be allowed to pass Saturday
night at the home Of his mother-in-
law that he had already had the bag
gage sent to her house. and refused to
retire until early Sunday morning. when
all hope of doing anything until Mon
day had disappeared.
Attorney Albert H. Hall made a fur
Their effort yesterday afternoon to Sc
cure good and sufficient bondsmen with
such success that he will probably pre-
sent to County Attorney Peterson this
morning the names of at least ten of
the most prominent business men OF
Minneapolis.
Who they will be Mr.. Hall refused to
say. He did say, however, that he
would present one of the most gilt
edged bonds ever secured in Hennepin
county, and was perfectly confident
that he would have his client out of
the clutches of the law before TODAY
noon.
The mouths of the ex-city clerk and
his attorney are extremely well sealed.
They will say nothing whatever of the
case, siHRly expressing feeling OF
confidence asrdto the outcome. Mr..

BOUND TO MOVE.
A Chicago Woman's Idea OF What
Inconvenience Is.

The woman with the bingham bonnet was
sweeping the front stairs when her neighbor
in the adjoining fiat came out to talk over the
current topics Of the day, says the Chicago
Times Herald. The odor Of burning pota-
toes admonished the sweeper that she must
hasten back to the kitchen, and as she gave
the steps few parting whacks with her
broom. she announced that she was looking
for more desirable fiat. I'VE are going
to see if we can find a place with some mod
ern convepiences,' she said.
YES" assented her neighbor, 1--WE some
times think Of moving. Still, the light is
good here and the rooms are large"
That's all very true, but just think Of
these horrid zinc bathtubs. You know have
had our winter bedding packed in the tub
all of the summer, and when took it out the
other day the zinc had left stains on nearly
all my fine quilts and Sheets
Dear me, how perfectly awfulr'
We'll, should say so. 1t just made me
sick, and 1 made up my mind that when we
moved again we should get a fiat provided
with porcelain tub, even if we had to put up
with some minor Inconvenience and she
founced into the house to put some water on
the burning potatoes.

Brooklyn Girl Takes a Deadly Dose

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Miss Lillian
Templeton, Of Brooklyn, is dead, as the
result of taking a prescription of a
friend who meant to cure, not to kill,
her Miss Templeton had been suffer-
ing from cold. A friend gave her a
prescription which called for equal
parts Of spirits of camphor, pepper
mint, laudanum and balsam of fir. This
prescription was filled by the Bolton
Drug company. She took the medicine
Friday evening. Saturday morning
she was found unconscious bleeding at
the nose and mouth She died within
short time despite thei physicians eff
forts Coroner Coombs said tonight:
Twenty grains of landanum is a large
dose, and is generally approached by giving
gradually increasing doses from three grains
up. If the prescription contained four equal
parts, then there must have been from forty
to forty-ive grains in the dose, and that Is
enough to kill ANYBODY" g..
