New OlK, NUNeLlpSl -o. OiA Sunday morning, for the first time in the history of the Cuban war, rebel bullets sought the palace in Havana, according to a dispatch to the Herald from Havana. The shots came from Casa Blanca, six hundred yards acress the entrance to the harbor, and while nobody was hurt, the palace with its numerous lights was a shining mark, and must have been hit. The Spanish authorities attempted to make light of the affair, but at the same time a re- porter for La Lueha, who was on the spot, attempted to publish the facts and was arrested and is still incommu- nicado.
 Under the Guns of Moro The attack on Casa Blanca was made by Brigadcer General Raefel Cardenas and fifty reb:ls. They entered town shortly before midnight on horseback, and at the end of -four hours each man led out of town a horse with one extra he had appropriated laden with clothing, provisions, silver plate and considerable money. Before they left they fired two volleys aorors the marrow flarbcr en- trance att the palace and then coolly r5- tired to a friends house inside the Span ish lines and took supper, previously ordered All this was done under ths gums of Castle Moro.
 Wanted to Release Rivera
 It is learned from an fnsurgent source that the object of the rebels was to ef- 1o,o- of ,1iV hang a citizen named Fumerio, who is krown as a Spanish spy They failed in the first only because of some misconcep- tion regarding the appointed time on the part of ths confede-ates inside the prison, with whom arrangements had been made to admit the raiders into the fortress Fumerio managed to escape across the harbor.
 Plans Well Laid
 The whole affair was well planned. Gen. CardenaS came In early in Iha evsn- ing with two colonels along the s-ashore and at 10 o'clock the men moved forward. The first visit was to Cabanas When they saw that the arrangements had faded the rebels went after Fumefdo. He fled across the harbor and the rebels did not dare to follow. Then the rebels wen. to Casa de los Frailes to the priests. house, where they took blankets, silver plates and money. This house is close to Moro castle The priests made a great outcry, but no soldiers came. The rebels then entered and sacked the store of Fumerio, securing some gold. They also footed three other stores without mo- lestation.
 Fired Upon Mariana
 The authorities made every effort to suppress the details of the raid, though an official report admitted that six rebels entered rhe town. The rebels approached and fired upon Mariana last night. There was great excitement The volun- teers were called out and along with the troops returned the rebel fire. The reb els did not succeed in entering the town. The lines have been strengthened all about Havana.
