TALLAHASSEE (Fla.), Jan. 24.-The

rived yesterday, and When off Santo
Mingo January 1luh, the mate, j. j.

and from some cause unexplained the
lashings holding it broke, letting it fall
to the deck.
The Captains son, Walter, youth
about Is years of age, was standing on
the poop deck and was struck and in
stantly killed by the falling spar. He
was buried at sea January 18th The
mate, Leighton, was SO overcome by the
accident that he attempted TO commit
suicide by shooting himself with a re-
volver, but was prevented by one of
the crew throwing a marlin spike at
him, striking him on the arm, which
caused the bullet to glance off, causing
a painful flesh wound on the side of his
head He was put in irons, and on ar
irving here was handed over to Deputy
Sheriff Mattace, who took him before
the United States Commissioner, who,
finding him rational and as he was in
no way to blame for the accident in
which young Gray was killed, he was
discharged.

LEADVILLE STRIKE

DENVER, Jan. 24-The report was
spread about the State tonight THAI
the LeadVille strike had been settled.
No report has ever caused such good
feeling and general rejoicing among the
people of the whole State. AT the thea
ters when the curtains fell on the first
acts it was announced from the stages
that the strike was settled. Audiences
rose in their seats and cheered most
wildly. In the largest and most fash

1t was not until midnight that the
exact situation could be learned 1t ap-
pears that there has been a bolt of a
part of the union members, and these
have resolved to cut loose from the die
tation of the leaders and seek work in
the mines. While this has not settled
the strike, it is hoped that it may soon
reach the end. The most extravagant
claims of the boilers still leave a good
majority in the union. Eugene V.
Debs has urged the men to accept

COMETA AFFAIR IGNORED.
But There is Little Doubt of the Cum
boats Loss.

HAVANA, Jan. 24.-The marine au-
thorities here ignore the Cometa affair.
and it is impossible to learn from them
what, if any truth, there is in the re-
port that the gunboat has been de-
stroyed by insurgents. The military
authorities profess to know nothing of
the matter.
From other official sources it is
learned that the reports have already
reached the United States anent the
loss of the gunboat are probably cor
rect.
The official reports issued to-day give
the details Of a number of engagements
between Government forces and rebels
in the province of Santa Clara Ha-
vana, Matanzas and Pinar del Rio. Ac-
cording to these reports the troops were
uniformly victorious. The rebel losses
are placed at 81 killed and a large
number wounded and two captured.
The insurgent camps, prefecturaS, and
over 100 huts We're destroyed.
Many families who had taken refuge
in the woods were found by the troops
and taken into the towns.
The Spaniards say their losses We're
four killed and a Lieutena Mt Colonel,
three Lieutenants and 81 privates more
or less severely wounded.
Notwithstanding the recent announce
ment of the "Pacification'' of Pinar del
Rio, the official reports show that the
greater number of engagements referred
to took place in that province, which
is pretty good evidence that the rebels
are still conducting their oppositions.
The most important of the several
fights took place near Guines, prov

not the families of paupers but of
skilled workrnen. Last nights blizzard
