LOS ANGELES, April 29.-Deputy
Sheriff F. o. Slanker of Pomona last
night arrested one of the most deSper-
ate criminals that has infested the
southern portion of the State in many
years.
Through the bravery of Slanker, Juan
Lugo, alias Frank Revada, is now in
the County Jail The officer had a des-
perate fight with the man before he had
him subdued, and fortunately the en-
counter ended with Slanker not sus-
tanning injuries.
Lugo is wanted in Mono County for
a murder committed in 1892, when he
shot in cold blood T. H. Leahy, fore
man of the J. n. Evans ranch, located
near Bridgeport, the county seat. Lugo
was captured by the Mono County Off
GERS, but escaped. 1t was learned that
he was in this part of the State, and
last month he was captured near San
Bernardino, but escaped again. He
went to Fullerton, where he stole a val
liable race horse, and since that time
he has been living in the foothills.
Deputy Sheriff Slanker learned that
Lugo was making nightly visits to
friends in Pomona, and last night he
located him in the house he was visit
ing. Slanker entered the barn and re-
moved Lugo's horse. He then waited
inside the door for the coming of his
man. Lugo soon entered the barn,
carrying a large dirk knife. Slanker i'm
mediately felled him with his revolver,
and after desperate struggle succeed
ed in Handwriting the murder and land
ing him in Jail.
There is a reward of 500 for Lugo's

FAIR ESTATE CONTEST.

OLIVER WINTHROP.
Fails in His Efforts to Keep Out of the

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29.-Oliver
w. Winthrop's efforts to keep out of
the penitentiary have failed. He was
given a life sentence for kidnapping
James Campbell, the Honolulu million
aire, and attempts to extort from him.
Since his sentence Winthrop has been
confined in the County Jail, pending an
appeal to the Supreme Court. The stay
of execution has expired, and recently
the Sheriff expressed his intention of
removing Winthrop to San Quentin.
To prevent this Winthrop's attorney
peuuoned the Spreme Court yesterday
for a writ of probable cause To-day
Chief Justice Beatty denied the appli
cation, giving as a reason that he found
no probable cause for an appeal in the
record"
The decision win result in Winthrop's
being taken to San Quentin Immediate
~. From Judge Beatty's language it
would seem that the court has no in
tention of granting the kidnaper new
trial. The papers on appeal have been
filed in the court.

THE WAR IN CUBA.
The Spanish Caught i'm a Trap and
Defeated.

| NEW YORK, April pa dispatch to
the Herald" from Havana says:
| The engagement which the Spanish
had with General Rodriguez in the Pur-
gatory Hills, and which was reported as
a decisive Spanish victory, turns out
to have been the reverse. The Spanish
columns encountered the insurgents
and attacked sharply, relying on their
superior forces. The rebels retreated
| toward their camp and succeeded in
playing their old trick of drawing the
| Spanish into an ambuscade.
| General Castillo arrived with rein
forcements while Rodriguez was en-
gaging the Spanish and fell on their
flank. The fighting lasted five hours
and in killed, wounded and prisoners
the Spanish lost $50 men.
| News comes from Santiago de Cuba
that 200 volunteers, headed by a priest
and prominent physician, have joined
the insurgents because they were dis
satisfied with the conduct of the Span
ish authorities and believed that Garcia
would succeed in maintaining his SUI
premacy in the eastern province.
The situation at Banes continues to
command attention. Four cruisers and
several gunboats have been ordered
there to land a force to march on the
port from the direction of Holquin
The rebel force in and near Banes is
estimated at 5000.
General Weyler came quietly back to
Havana early yesterday morning, after
a six-weeks trip to Santa Clara. during
which if he accomplished anything
from military point, the fact has been
most effectually concealed. 1t is now
reported that he is going to Spain very
soon, but the report is probably due
to the report that his son sails on
April Both. 1t was reported last night
that some insurgent chief of Importance
has passed into Pinar del Rio. He is
believed to have been Quintin Ban
deras. but the statement lacks confirm
alton.
From Matanzas and other towns in
| Havana, Santa Clara and Pinar del
| Rio comes news that starvation and

WILD ANIMALS IN TOWN.
A Curious Effect of the Great Drought In
West Virginia.

A peculiar feature of the recent drought
is the fact that it drove hundreds of wild
birds and small animals from the forests
into the cities and towns in every section
of West Virginia Parkersburg was al
most as thickly populated with quail us
an English game preserve, and their shrill
piping as they rose with whir from
hundred lawns in the early morning long
since ceased to be a novelty.
The reason for this is supposed to be the
scarcity of food in their accustomed haunts,
which forced them to come into the towns
upon foraging expeditions While Park
ersburg has been the home of quail and
cartridges, a town on the line Of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad between here
and Grafton has had far less desirable
visitors it being literally infested with
skunks. Through trains increased their
speed as they passed through the town,
and those in charge of the local trains
made their stops as brief as possible. Pas
sengers from the unfortunate village were
given wide berth when they entered the
cars, having no difficulty in securing a
dozen or more seats in case they desired
them.
All efforts to rid the town of the pests
have thus far failed, and the inhabitants
are greatly worried over the outlook for
the winter. In the mountains of Tucker
and the Black Forest of Randolph coun-
ties the larger animals are invading the
towns, hardly night passing without a
visit from either bear, wildcat or deer.
SO bold have the bears grown that a
huge black animal of that species recently
blocked the turnpike within half a mile Of
Parsons, frightening the horse OF United
States deputy marshal, causing the animal
to run away, wrecking the wagon and Sc
verely injuring the driver. While it is no
unusual thing for game and wild animals
to invade the smaller towns during the
middle of hard winter, the conditions
during the drought were never before
