Fight for Freedom Lost.

Havana, April 21.-The well known
insurgent leader Julian Zarraga, who
surrendered with five Of his followers
to the Spanish authorities in Pinar del
Rio on April 16, has made a request to
be sent to Spain. He has admitted to
General Inclan that he has personally
dynamited trains in the province of Pi-
mar del Rio, and says that he surren-
dered because he considered the insur-
gent cause to be lost.
Zarraga added that the independence
of Cuba would mean chaos, would be a

that the negroes would dominate it
completely. Zarraga's frank admis-

but thought the city should pay the

City Engineer Kelly was of opinion
that the land claimed by Mr.. Martin
was property of the city's,
William B. Dickerman opposed the

PLANS NEARLY COMPLETED,
For the Merchants Carniva1-"Good Mr
Best" Presented Last Evening.

FOR Une merchants Carniya1-"Good Mr.
Best" Presented Last Evening.
The benefit performance for the Mer-
chants carnival fund, which was given
at the Hyperion last evening, did not
prove such success financially as had
been expected, the audience being rath-
er small. Evidently the interest that
the price and the object of the benefit
deserved was not taken. The price and
the artists in the cast would merit on
any occasion big house and that 1t
was not larger last night is surprising.
The piece, John j. McNally's 1.-THE Good
Mr.. Best" was presented by a company
of capable artists, which included John
G. Sparks, Mrs. Annie Yeamans, Miss
Josie Sadler, Miss Hope Ross, Julius P.
Whitman, Tom LeMack, Miss Kate
Dale and r. A. Roberts. This is Mr..
McNally's latest effort and no doubt
will prove the success which all of his
pieces have met with. Mr. John c. Rice
and his wife (Miss Sadie Cohn) of the
May Irwin company, were in the au-
dience last evening, as was Mr.. John J.
McNally, the author of the piece.
