 inaIies Were Given.
bourne

Only a small crowd of spectators wit messed the athlstic exhibition in the Coli scum last night. The officers were there, but not in such force as at the previous ene. The go of the evening was preceded by four prilfminarie.s. Lee McGimsey refereed ehe preliminaries, while Jack Monnahan. of Boston, acted in that ca- paoGty during the last contest.
 The first contest, a three-round affair between c. Graham. of Birmingham. and J. Instohe, of Woodlawn, resulted in a draw
 John MeGims y was given the decision over '7Eilly Ptmmer, Jr.," in the second round. This proved good go.
 Excellent work was done by Jack Mon naihan. of Bosom and Patsie Nonton, of New York in their three-round argu- ment. Norton was given the decision on points. Before the first round of he sue ceding contest, Norton challenged the wnrsr, or any 132-pound man in the state.
 Denny Gallagher the champion feath- eI-weight of he south and Oscar Geier, champion of Alabama, went ten rounds for points. The referee announced the contrst a draw.
 Gallagher appeared in the ring with his left ankle banda ged. and he suffered all through the bout While boxing with his trainer, Dan Sullivan, Sunday afternoon, he spiained his ankle but gamely insisted on going on
 Geier put up an exceeding lean contest all the way through Several oppoutuni- tiss were offered him to do dirty work" but he let them pass. He showed himself to be a clever man.
 Both men. Were game, scientific and earnss.. Everyone was satisfied with the '7vening'S entertainment and no objec- ton was made by the officers, although some Very fast work was done

It has ben said in olden. times eat, drink and be merry. A learned physic- ian once said in lecture that he could practice with three different medicines, calomel, quinin- and alcohol, as no tine ture could be preserved without alcohol, and in certain eases stimulants had to be used. He, like George Washington, did not know of the hfe-givng and in vigorating fluid, J. Martins 6-year-old Rye Whiskey that is being sold at the surprisingly low price of D cents per full quart, by Wm.

Neither Women Nor Children
Spared by Weyler's Fiendish
GuerrillaS.
BUT THE BRUTAL BUTCHERS
ARE PUNISHED.
Now the Captain. General Is Burning
All the Villages in His
Pathway.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. PA special
from Key West, Fla, says: Spanish guer-
rillas surrounded Las Palmeras, twenty
miles south of Artemiss, at midnight and
fired all the dwellings. AS the inmates
rushed out they were shot down, women
and children as well as men. Many per-
ished in the flames rather than face the
Spanish bullets.
When morning came more than fifty
bodies were seen among the ruins. The
guerriIlas fed after looting the two stores
which the flames had spared.
A Cuban band, attracted by the firing,
came up two hours later and started after
the Spaniards. Catching up to them Il
fight ensued and out of seventy guerrillas
thirty-fv only escaped.
General Weyler has burned four villages
since starting out, warning the people to
move to the larger places, which are gar
risoned.
A special dispatch to the Herald from
Havana, via Key West, Fla, says: The
ten officers of the garrison at Guiana bacoa,
who were captured by the rebel, Aran-
gueren, will be court martialed, nine for
travelling unarmed in war time and one
General Weyler's order that all owners
and managers of plantations who cannot
show a receipt for the payment of taxes
up 10 date must leave their plantations is
causing great hardships. The deserted
plantations are Immediately sacked aud
ruined by marauders and irregulars OF
both parties.
Clemencla Araguos, girl of %, a sister
OF the rebel cher, Araguos, was captured
to-day and probably will be placed in the
refuge for fallen women.
HAVANA, CUBA, Jan. A.-The authori-
ties here ignore the Cometa affair, and it
is impossible to learn from them what, if
any, truth there is in the report that the
little gun boat had been destroyed by in
suTgents. The military authorities pro-
fess to know nothing of the matter and in
this case their professions are believed to
be true, for in view OF the antagonism be-
tween the military and navy authorities
1t is thought that if the former were in
possession of facts detrimental to the
navy they would not hesitate to make
item known to the general public. From
other official sources it is learned, how
ever, that the reports that have already
reached the United States regarding the
loss of the gun boat are correct.
The official reports issued to-day give
the details OF number of engagements
between Government forces and rebels in
the provinces OF Santa Clara, Havana
Matanzas and Pinar del Rio According
to these reports the troops were uniformly
victorious.
The rebel losses in the various engage
ments are placed at thirty-seven killed, a
large number wounded and two captured

NEW YORK, n. Y, Jan. PA Key
West special says: Another effort to kid
nap Major FondevielIa, "Weyler's as
sstant butcher" in command at Guiana
bAcoa, is reported from Havana.
An effort was made to capture him on a
train between Regla and Guiana bacoa, but
it failed because he was not on board.
This time a small band of rebels COM
manded by an American named Welch,
one of the famous Texans, went 10 Guiana
bacoa, Wednesday and hid in public
house near the town line where Major
Fondeviella's train passed.
When his party reached the house il
stopped for liquid refreshment. Colonel
Fondeviella had twenty men with him.
The insurgents rushed out, killing ten oi

The rest surrounded Fondeviella, while
one cavalryman galloped off for aid.
1t was impossible for the Cublns to get
near enough to Fondeviella to knock him
down, but just as they were going to tie
him to his horse before galloping away
re-enforcements came. WEIGH seeing that
the attempt to kidnap was failure
snapped his revolver in Fondeviella's face,
but it failed to go off.

INTENSELY COLD
AFTER THE STORM
Appalling Suffering Among
the Poor in Large
Cities.
Chicago's Prisons Crowded With
Un ortunates Seeking Warmth
and Shelter.
Mercury From IS to 20 Below in the
Nortbwest-Thou ands of Cattle
and Sheep Perish.

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 24-The cold
wave which reached Chicago last night
tightened its grip to-day, and at midnight
Chicagoans were shivering in 16-below-
zero atmosphere.
At 8 O'Clock this morning the thermom-
eter registered IA below. The tempera-
ture then moderated somewhat, but at no
time during the day did the mercury rise
above below. Shortly after sunset the
temperature began dropping rapidly and
tonight promises to be a record-breaker.
The weather bureau promises no relief for
four or five days.
The suffering among the poor is intense,
and tomorrow morning Mayor Swift will
issue proclamation, calling for bread for
the starving.
| According to the report made to the
Mayor by the Bureau of Charities and
other associations which have applied to
him, the number of destitute families is
increasing every day, until the condition
in some parts of the city is appalling. I'M
mediate relief is necessary or, it is said,
| some will die from starvation and cold.
| The police stations all over the city are
filled with dodgers, hundreds of homes are
without fuel and food, and skilled work
men are begging on the streets.
Com mittees of charitable institutions
and many individual philanthropists have
called on Mayor Swift and urged him to
make an appeal to the public for immedi-
diate help for the sufferers. He will issue
proclamation to-morrow setting forth
the exact condition of the poor in Chicago
and will make an appeal for public help.
No actual cases of starvation have as yet
been reported but many are suffering with
hunger. Distributions of food and fuel
have been carried OH by the Bureau of
Charities, but they say they are unable to
take care of one-tifth of the people who beg
for assistance
County Commissioner Beatty reported
to Mayor Swift yesterday that the lists of
needy are growing at the rate of from 300
to 500 families per day. These are not the
families of paupers but the families of
skilled workmen, who are unable to get
work.
Last nights blizzard continued until
early this morning, but there was no Sc
rlous delay to streetcar traffic, as the
thoroughfares were kept open by the hun
dreds OF men who were at work all night.
Many of those suffering from want were
given an opportunity to earn few PEN
nies by clearing away the snow.
ALI trains are late, but the delay is not
serious.
Through the suggestion OF Mayor Swift. |

Blood Fever Being Worked
Up Among the Friends of
Little Pete.
THE PITIFUL PLIGHT OF HIS
WIDOW.
King Owyang, the Vice.Cons u1, Has
Been Threatened, and 1t Is Feared
He Will B. the Next.

The ephemeral sensation of an ordinary
Chinese murder has no place on the list
with the feverish anxiety, bitter vindic-
tiveness and cuss-dog deviltry that have
| been engendered through the cold-b -blooded
assassination of Little Pete Saturday night
in Chinatown.
That brainy little heather, connected as
| he was with the most powerful elements
among his own people, being a man of
wealth, having almost intimate acquaint-
anceship with the social, financial and
political classes among the whites, could
hardly be shot down without a word of
warning without his killing assuming
greater importance than any of the hun
dreds recorded on the mortuary tablets of
former years.
Little Pete was better known among his
own people and the Americans of this
State than any Chinaman in the local col
ony, but where he was most cherished,
and where the weight of his counsel was
best felt and most needed was right in the
chambers of the Sam Yup Company, OF
which he was a leader.
What will the Sam Yup people do now
to avenge his death? Those who, like
Captain Lees and his officers, have studied
the ways of the heathens during three de-
cades of blood-spilling, and who know
these almond-eyed queue-bearers to blend
in their constitution the vendetta of the
! Corsican and the love of lucre which
causes Italian brigands to take the life OF
| non com batants upon whose head price
is set, look forward to troublous times in
Chinatown.
| Already the regular squad of six men
has been increased to two score and even
with that force of guardians the peace is

BALTIMORE, Md, Jan. 24.-General
Carlos Roloff, Secretary of War OF the
Cuban Provisional Government, and DR..
Joseph J. Luis, who were given a prelim
mary hearing in New York yesterday on
the charge of violating the neutrality
laws in connection with the shipment of
men, arms and ammunition to Cuba by
the steamer Woodall, will be brought to
this city for trial. District Attorney Mar
bury said tonight that instructions had
been sent out to that effect from Wash
ington.
The reason assigned for the transfer OF
the case from New York to Baltimore was
that the steamer Woodall was purchased
here and cleared from this port. Mr.. Mar
bury will ask the United States Grand
Jury for an indictment against General
Roloff and Dr. Luis, and it is thought that
when they appear before Commissioner
Shields in New York next Saturday, they
will be turned over to United States Mar
shals and brought here.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan. 24-The

The firm has not definitely decided,
owing to the dull condition of the market,
whether the Laureada will be ordered to

Notwithstanding the recent announce

greater number of engagements referred
to took place in that province, which is
pretty good evidence that the rebels are
still conducting their operations.
