NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. "A special
from Key West, Fla, says: The Texas
Rangers in the Cuban Army have distin-
guished themselves again by defeating a
large force, capturing a provision Irain
and making prisoner of the commander
of the Spanish escort.
The fight took place last Friday, judg-
ing by the date of the letter reporting it,
near Osalario in Pinar del Rio province.
The detail OF 300 Spanish cavalry escort
ing the train was halted by a sudden fierce
fire from a hillside. 1t was too steep to
charge and the Spanish replied as best
they could, taking shelter on the opposite
side of the road.
Hardly had they done this when they
were fired on from the rear, the Texans,
who numbered only 16o ambushing both
sides of the road. The Spaniards then re-
treated down the road. The Texans
thereupon came out from one side, and
with shouts for CUBA Libre," dashed in
pursuit.
When they were well out OF their shelter
the Spaniards turned, poured in hot fire
and then charged. The Lone Star. boys
met them and the shock was terrific
Men were endorsed, horses thrown down
and men and beasts mixed.
The second detachment of Texans came
up at this moment and the Spaniards
again retreated, capturing lieutenan t
named Stone and placing him in the rear
to prevent his comrades firing on them
The Texans, enraged at this, charge
with such 6erceness that they could not
be withstood. The Spanish troops then
ell back in disorder and Stone was recoY-
cred.

danced at the Grotto in Chicago during

that she had afterward written to Mr..

Lottie Morton, singer and dancing

and all Indications point strongly to their
success.
The Democrats have absolutely refused
to support Claggett (P.), and some OF his
own party have gone back on him, so that
tonight he is considered practically out
OF the race:
Johnson is urged by the Democrats, but
only few of the Populists are satisfied
with him, and 1t looks very unlikely that
the Democrats and Populists can agree
upon any candidate. Neither Angel nor
Cooper, Populists. can command even the
support OF their own party, all of which
goes to improve the chances OF Dubois.

OTTAWA, ILL, Jan. e.-The situation

noon, and, after being addressed by an
agitator, who advised bloodshed adj

miners had advanced within 100 feet of
the buildings, when he commanded them
to halt, and was instantly obeyed.
After hooting at the guards, the mob
returned to the village, quarter OF a

the streets almost constantly, and nearly
every one of them has a weapon concealed

Der that the dangers from lightning
are based on we'll known physical
causes. Lightning is merely cleo
tricity in a state of explosion. Its
freaks, so called, while they are
seemingly uncXplainable are really
founded on physical laws and con
ditions. These laws and conditions
are simple, but for this very reason,
probably few persons pay any heed
to them when the Heavens burst

Don't crawl into feather bed:

Lightning.
Don't stand in a crowd; crowds

Don't go into high buildings;
high buildings act as targets for the
bolts of Jupiter.
Don't sit by an open window:
lightning comes in at windows.
Don't wear corsets; corset steelS

DON'T sit in front of an open fire

The sugar crust on the top of a
bakers sponge cake is caused by
dredging the cake thickly with
powdered sugar. The reason why
sponge cake is tough is often be-
cause it was baked to rapidly. Use
the juice of half a lemon in it, and
allow a quarter of an hour longer
for the baking. Cheap water
sponge is generally tough unless 1t
has lemon juice added to it, and it
should be very carefully baked.
