The liercest battle fought in the PROV

Gen. Maceo is just reported here Ey an
official Spanish account published in
all the newspapers and by communlca-
tons from he .usurgent lines.
Though the Spanish report boasts, a
usual, of great victory, it confirms,
in many details, the Cuban story. Spec
ial information from Trustworthy
sources leaves no doubt that the result
was the most serious defeat sustained
by the Spanish army since the battle OF
Cacarajicara, IN the same province.
The battle was fought among the
hills of Romero. Madame and Los Pal

cast was encamped with 5000 men,

dynamite bombs.
The Spanish columns of Gen Bernal
and Hernandez de Nelaseo combined TO
dislodge the insurgents. Several bayo-
net attacks by the Spanish ended dis
astrously for them, and they retired to
await relnforcements after over 100
Spanish soldiers had been killed
The Spanish numbered 5000 when
the Aranjuez battalion arrived. With
"A sacrifice of 81 men, they took at the
point OF tie bayonet the heights of
Caimito. Ducasi took it again before
noon. and the three Spanish battalions
gave up the fight and retired
The Official Spanish report published
here by the press censor says: "The
losses of the insurgents were immense.
We had one major and two soldiers
killed and one major. one captain and
10 soldiers wounded" But the Span

confessed that their losses were over
200, and that it was the hardest fight
they eyer had in Cuba.

How Princess Victoria WnH Told OF
Her Chance OF Succession.
Many interesting stories of the Girl

in an article in St. Nicholas, written by
James Cassidy, Mr.. Classify quotes the
following from a letter written to the
queen by her former governess, Bar
oness LehZen:
l ask your majesty leave to cite some
remarkable words of your majesty
when only 12 years old, while the re-
gency bill was still in progress. then
said to the duchess of Kent that now
for the first time your majesty ought to
know your place in the succession. Her
royal highness agreed with me, and 1
put the genealogical table into the his
torical book. When DR.. Davys (the in
structor of the princess and afterwards
bishop of Peterborough was gone, the
princess again opened the book, as
usual, and, noticing the additional pa
per. said: 81 never saw that before"
1T was not thought necessary you
should, princess answered
Il see am nearer the throne than
l thought"
80 it is, madam" said.
After some moments, the princess re-
sumed: Now, many a child would
boast but they do not know the diff
Guilty. There is much splendor, but
much responsibility"
The princess having lifted up the fore
finger of her little hand saying: Il will
be good, dear Lehzen, will be good"
l then said: But your Aunt Adelaide
is still young, and may have children;
and, of course, they viii ascend the
throne after their father William ",
and not you, princess"
The princess answered: And, if that
were so, should never feel disappoint-
ed. for / know, by the love Aunt Ade-
laide bears for me, how fond she is of

PRIVATE STREET CARS.
One of the Recent Developments OF
the Trolley Elea.

the Trolley Eiea.
One development of the trolley-car
idea is likely to be shown ere long in
the somewhat general fashion of own
ing private cars. At present a few.
though an increasing number, of rich
men own private railway cars. The
expense is enormous, all things con-
sidered. But a moderate expenditure
will suffice in the case of the trolley,
says the Boston Advertiser.
Only, in little while, street cars
will no longer be propelled by means of
trolley attachments, but their motive
power will be applied from an inside
third rail, or by means of storage bat
terry, or, possibly, there will be some
method invented of which as yet the
public has not even hint.
Anyhow, the rapid extension of the
electrically propelled street car sys-
TEN, not only throughout all cities and
considerable villages, but into the sub
urbs and far away into the country, so
that in long time, where population is
even moderately dense, there will be an
electrical car line close to every mans
front door, will supply the conditions
necessary for vast multiplication of
the number of private cars.

Held Over the Remains of the Man who
Died ON the c. & NJ. Train.
Our Elba correspondent sends the
following porticlars of the death of
Gus Cullenhouser, detailed in Wednes-
days Leader:
Tuesday evening when north bound
C. & M. train arrived at the depot at
Elba, DR.. L. l.. st. John was called in
to the car to examine man who failed
to arouse at the usual cry of the con-
ductor for tickets. He with DIR. Gage
who happened to be in the car, pro-
nounced the man dead. The body was
taken off the train md placed in the
depot and G. C. Jackson, j. p, and L.
A. Waller, undertaken, were sent for.
At the inquest held before Squire
jackson, acting as Coroner, and from
other Information obtainab,e, the story
is as follows:
GINS Cullenhouser arrived at the de-
pot at Warner apparently after some
eXertion, just before the train was due
and got on the stept After the train
had been in motion for some time he
entered the car and sat down, hunting
iu his pockets for his ticket. After
finding his ticket he held it in his right
hand and laid his head back over the
seat. 1t was supposed by those who
saw him that he had been drinking.
The Conductor failed to rouse him
when calling for his ticket and shook
him, bat he did not move. At the de-
pot here Dr.. st. John, of this place,
and DR.. Gage, of Marietta, pronounced
him dead. The Coroner's verdict was
that he died of heart failure.
Afterwa:d the return end of ticket
from Warner to Caldwell was found on
the seat and it was supposed he was
going to Caldwell. Nothing of any
value was found upon his person. He
was tanner by trade and came from
Cum berand, O., and worked in the
tannery at Lower Salem few months
some time ago He came to Lower
salem lasG week on VlSit ana was
known to have about S2j.
He had said in Lower Salem that he
had walked to Marietta Sunday and
walked back to Lower Salem Tuesday,
thence to Warner. He had no money,
not even a pocketbook, when searched.
The body was turned over to the un-
dertaker who removed it to his under
taking establishment at Maclisburg.
The latest in formation we have is that
he is native of Germany and has no
relatives in this coun ntry, but that his
parents are well to do people. We
have not learned, at this writing, the
final disposition of the body.
