INSURGENTS USE DYNAMITE.
Cause No Little Worry to the Spanish
Officials.

Havana, Aug. AVA Key West)-
The insurgents dynamited the culvert
near Esperanza railroad station, near
the city of Santa Clara, on the night OF
July 90. The culvert was completely
destroyed, traffic being stopped, and all
telegraph communication cut off. The
authorities signalled by heliograpfs to
Cienfuegoes for relief. The next night,
while the local volunteer forces were
patrolling the town, they came upon
a group of insurgents in the center of
one of the principal streets. The chal-
lenge was given and the insurgents re-
piled with ''Vive Cuba librei" and
opened fire.
The authorities are entirely at loss
to know how he insurgents entered the
town, and succeeded in getting by the
fort garrisoned by the Third regiment
of local guerillas, which was at the ex-
IRENE end of the street. AS soon as the
insurgents were discovered, a great
panic ensued among the residents,
women, children and the aged fleeing
pell nell through the STREETS and begg
ing for protection, while the men either
took sides with the insurgents or joined
the Spanish forces. The stores were
looted, the invaders providing them
selves with food, clothing and cash.
The military commander ordered the
garrison to help the patrolmen in the
attack upon the insurgents who were
in Broadway. The latter
were finally repulsed, the regular troops
losing one killed and II wounded. The
insurgents left four killed and took
away about 20 wounded.

his course in congress.
The principal feature of the evening
was a lengthy speech by Senator McEn-

AS TO ARBITRATION.
Japan Will Insist That We Assume a
Contingent Responsibihty.

New York, Aug. "A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Japan
win insist that the United States as
sumo contingent responsibility in the
matter of arbitration of her differences
with Hawaii on the subject of immi-
grafton and the tariff.

the essential conditions upon which
Japan will consent TO arbitration. and

arbitration and back up her demdnds
by naval demonstration in Hawaiian
waters.
The state department has not yet re-
ceived any official communication on
this matter. and the administration has
not indicated whether or not il will
comply with the japanese demand
when made. An official of the japanese
legation said in an interview:
I am not officially informed concern
ing the limits of arbitration. but that
japan should ask the United States to
take recognition of it and assume an
ultimate responsibility for the decisions
of the arbiter as regards Hawaii. being
carried out. seems TO be very natural.
If thu United States refuse to give
US a guarantee, it is possible that the
arbitration proposition will fail. We
prefer to entertain a grievance and to
indemnify our subjects ourselves than
to arbitrate after the indignity of the
refusal by the United States of so just
a request.
Neither the United States nor the
can justly plead disinterest-
edness. Frequently in the Hawaiian
correspondence of late. the
pending annexation has figured as a
factor in the situation This should

it looks as if we were within measur-

THE RING.
Everhardt Defeats Kelly.

San Francisco, Aug. 4.-Jack Ever.
hardt. of New Orleans. was given the
| decision over Spider Kelly tonight
after 20 rounds of fighting. All fight
/ ing at that. Everhardt sustained his
reputation as rusher. From the
/ sound of the bell for the first round
until the gong rang at the end of the
Goth, the southerner was after mis-
man.
While Jack was the. aggressor, he
had not the cleverness of the local
man. Kelly is a long-range fighter,
and while not hard hitter, is exceed
ingly clever in Guiding rushes and
stopping them with straight lefts.
t Everhardt was the stronger of the
two, and in close work may fairly be
classed as superior to Kelly. Several
times Kelly put in some straight left
blows which Strengthened up Jack but
the latter came right on after each
clinch and compelled Kelly to do some
lively sprinting.
In point of cleverness Kelly clearly
outpointed Everhardt, but begun to
tire from the terrific pace after the 18th
round. In the 13th Everhardt caught
Kelly on the right eye with a left
swing, which opened a cash in
Spiders face, from which the blood
flowed throughout the remainder of the
fight. Kelly braced up in the 18th and
put in some staggering left swings on
Jacks jaw, but the sturdy southerner
kept right after his opponent. While
the decision was not popular with the
majority of the spectators, this may be
partly accounted for by the fact that
he was local man and that he was on
the short end in the betting.
The middieweight contest between
Frank Purcell of Salt Lake and Jack
Weady, a blue jacket, was scheduled
for 10 rounds. The sailor. however,
proved easy game for Purcell. although
he put up hard fight for nine rounds.
In the tenth, Purcell floored him re-
peatedly with smashes on the jaw and
the sailor was finally counted out.
