New York, November 25.-On Sun
day morning, for the first time in the
history of the Cuban war, rebel bullets
sought the palace in Havana, says
dispatch to the Herald from Havana.
The shots came from Casa Blanca, 600
yards across the entrance to the har-
Dor, and while nobody was hurt, the
palace, with its electric lights, was a
shining mark and must have been hit.
The Spanish authorities attempt to
make light of the affair, but at the
same time a reporter from La Lucia,
who wrote up and attempted to pub
lish the facts in the case, was arrested
and is still in communicate.
The attack of the Casa Blanca was
made by Brigadier-General Rafael de
Cardenas and fifty rebels. They en-
tered the town shortly before night on
horseback, and at the end Of four
hours each man led out of town
horse with one extra he had appro-
priated, laden with clothing, prOVls-
ions, silver plate and considerable
money. Before they left they fired
two volleys across the narrow harbor
entrance at the palace, then coolly re-
tired to a friends house inside the
Spanish lines and took supper pre-
viously ordered. All this was under
the guns of Cabanas and Moro.
1t is learned from an inside source that
the object of the rebels was to effect the
release of Gen. Rios Rivera and hang
citizen named Fumiero, who is known as
spy They failed in the first only because
Of some misconception regarding the APP
pointed time of the part of confederates
Within the prison, with whom arrange
ments had been made to admit the raid
ers into the fortress. Fumiero managed
to escape across the harbor.

ST. Louis, Mo-, November 25.-It is
somewhat unusual for the labor
unions to take action regretting the
death of wealthy man, but there was
a noted exception when local union
No. 3, United Brotherhood of Carpen-
tiers and Joiners of America, adopted
resolutions of respect to the memory
of John E. Light, the millionaire to-
bacco manufacturer, who died Tues
day. The resolution recited that the
deceased was a good friend of organ
lied labor and the sympathy of the
union was rendered to his family and
friends.

BATTLE BETWEEN SNAKES.

and Nearly XIII woman.
A battle royal between two large
snakes and an attempt on the part of
the surviving reptile to count woman
among its victims were the cause of
great deal of excitement at New York
the other afternoon, says the New
York Journal.
The two snakes were tcn-foot ana
conda and an sHs-foot cross between
python and a boa constructor. They
were put into box together. Sudden
ly there was commotion on the inside
of the box that brought over Miss
Madeline. to whom they belonged, in
hurry. She found the two snakes
intertwined so that it was hard to tel
which was which. The anaconda was
making frantic efforts to get the boa's
head into its wide-open jaws. and the
boa, on the other hand. was contracting
its muscles around the body of the
enemy with strength born of despair.
Miss Madeline made quick dive into
the box through the glass lid. which
had been broken in the melee. and
seized the boa at the back of its head
with one hand, while with the other
she clutched the anaconda in the same
spot. With all her might she began
tugging away. but to no purpose. The
snakes then wound themselves around
her body. During the struggle one of
the woman's hands slipped. and quick
as flash the boa turned and bit her
hand, making a deep flesh wound.
Miss Madeline dropped the snakes
then in a hurry. The anaconda twisted
itself with renewed vigor around the
boa's body. and with a spasmodic, sud
den jerk finally succeeded in breaking
its enemys back. 1t was caught and
put back into the box after much diff

Gould you give me a little assistance,

"A job, after 1 get square meal,

Take that dollar, get bath, shave

well worn out, which were nearly enough
unique in their character to Identify them
with the Senate. Altogether there was
great lot of such furniture packed away
in the storeroom in the way and OF no
value except for its association and its pos
sibility of a revival of former splendor at
a cost greater than that of handsomer and
newer things. There was a great demand
among the lovers of the curious and unique
for articles of this furniture and all sorts
of devices were suggested by which they
could be got possession of. The three-cor-
nered chairs were particularly coveted and
very large prices were offered for them.
There was no authority to sell nor to give
them away, and no law authorizing con-
demnation. From the point of view of
utility the furniture was no more than rub
bish in the inventory of property of the
government. Finally, when Bright was SER
geant-at-arms the first time, a resolution
was passed through the Senate donating all
this furniture to a hospital the idea being
that the hospital could sell it to some of
the persons who were making eXtravagant
bids for it, and with the proceeds of the
hospital purposes. A number of large
wagonloads were shipped to the hospital by
Colonel Bright, and shortly afterward he
saw some of those who. had been particu
larly liberal In their offers and told them
that they might be able to make the pur-
nered chairs were the things most greatly
valued, and two fashionable ladies of
Washington were prepared to bid against
each other for them. They were informed
simultaneously. and hurried off to the hos
pital together ready to offer from $50 to $50
to their breathless inquiries whether the
prizes had heen sold vet, the hospital
steward told them that he had chopped
them up the day before for firewood.

when any thought at all is given TO the
matter, is shown by the fact that of the
60 600 visitors a year, over $1,000 are
strangers m the city. These out-of-town
people do not fail 10 dhate on the mer-
cenary spirit of Cleveland.
From the cash register $1,000 n year is
extracted But the thrifty association has
another source of profit. Inside the tomb
IS counter where relics of the dead Pres
ident are sold. Here can be bought at q
bargain bits of the marble of which the
tomb is built, and pictures of the monu-
ment and the man. From the sale table
$500 year is cleared. This makes the fine
total of $500 yearly which the city of
Cleveland saves by not taking over the
monument in her own hands, and making
the care of ii a fixed charge.
