DYNAMlTED BY CUBANS.
Cubans Attack a Spanish Military Train
Killing and WOunding Fifty.


Havana, May 27.-It is reported
from Santiago de Cuba that a Spanish
military train from El Cristo to Songo
was attacked by 600 insurgents. The
train was carrying troops to reinforce
the garrison at Songo. At the first
shot of the insurgents the train stop
ped, and Lieutenant Lafuente, who was
in command of the Spanish troops, Or
dered his men to fire on their assail-
ants, but at that moment several dyna-
mite bombs which had been previously
placed on the track by the Cubans ex-
ploded, killing Lieutenant Lafuente and
IL Spanish privates and wounding 80
others. The locomotive and one car
were destroyed by the explosion.
The Spaniards surrendered and the
Cubans, after plundering the train and
securing large supply of provisions
and munitions of war, burned the re-
naming cars.
Sixty Spanish soldiers and 200 per-
sons, employees of the railroad and Off
GERS of the Spanish government, were
made prisoners. Two hours later they
were set free by order of General Ca
lixto Garcia.
The Spanish military commander of
Songo was afraid to go to the aid of the
troops, but waited until they were re-
leased and the insurgents were far
away. Then he sailed forth, and near
the town killed two countrymen, one
of them non-combatant and the other
a Cuban of his own forces. He then
returned to town, reporting victory
over the insurgents.

Charles Kemble, the great actor, and
second cousin of Fanny Kemble and
Algernon Sartoris, who married
Grants daughter Nellie, was found
dead yesterday, lying by the side OF his
l3-year-old son, William Kemble Hill

although there were two pistols shots,
no person in the house among the
neighbors heard them. Hillyard was
Christian scientist. Beside his table
stood Bible on stand, open at the
fifth chapter of st. Matthew-Christ' s
sermon on the mount. Near the Bible

The Only Solution.

New York, May 27.-Nathan Page,
of Washington, the lawyer who con-
Quoted the Moro claim against Spain,
has just returned from visit to Eng
land, France and Holland. He was
asked about the concensus of opinion
in Paris and London concerning the
war in Cuba. He said:
"In Paris l met many highly edu-
Gated spaniards, and they do not see
how Spain can retain Cuba. They
and others in Europe think it is only a
question of time when Cuba will go to
the United States. They do not see
any other solution of the problem, and
they do not seem to grieve over the Sit
uation,

spirits and was walking up and down
the deck ON passengers arm. Sud
denly Barnato asked his companion to
tell him the time. But before he re-
ceived reply, he wrenched his arm
away and jumped overheard. The

If silver continues to go down
they recognize the fact that they

they think it unwise for Bryan
to harp on the silver string any
longer.
THFD Democratic assertion that

hand in hand is somewhat weak
ened by the fact that trusts never
fourished in the United States as
they did during the three years OF
the late Democratic tariff, which
has happily passed.
