A CUBAN RAID.
Supply Train Surprised
and Captured.
Spaniards Resisted at First
But Finally Fled.
Captain Medoro Was Among the
Eleven Insurgents Killed.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb IA special
from Havana via Key West, Florida, from
Major Frederick Nunez, the insurgent
leader In Pinar Del Rio, says some OF Col.
San Morton's guerillas had . fight day be-
fore yesterday west of Las Mangas on the
military road. San Morton's men had
charge OF large convoy:of ammunition
and provisions going to San Christobai.
Nunez attacked the Spanish camp about
midnight. IL was on the edge of q vast
field OF tall dry grass. Nunss set hre to
it ana the wind drove II right on to San
Mortons camp. The Spanisrds rushed out
to save their supplies not suspecting Q
raid, whereupon the insurgents with cries
OF "Vive Cubs Libre" dashed In, dealing
death right and left. Tbs Spsnisrds
offered . stout resistance, but after some
sharp lighting broke and fed leaving all
their supplies and pack-horses to the In
surgents. Twenty Of the Spaniards were
killed and IL Cubans. The latter, how
ever, lost Captain Medoro, one OF the
holdest OF the scouts in Maceo's old
army. Mirand, less than i've miles wesi
of Havana, was rsided by the insurgents
last night and ten houses were burned.
The small Spanish garrison Withdrew

the writer, neither is 1t made sttra ctive
for the reader. II 10 too puerile, too
ideal. Rabid, morbid, rampant realism
that knows no shame is the Moloch In
whose sty these men-swipe fatten and
draw their inspiration. For while the
realistic novel threatened to become cpl
'demic, and the end of all purity was pre-
dicted. DIR. wstson's recent visit and
honor among a. are, however. reassur-
ing. He 10 not OF the realistic school,
and yet he has.been honored more than
all the pornographic writers combined.
The thousands that fiocked to DO him
honor demonstrated that the realistic
filth has run its course, and the reaction
has set in. AND the return OF the pure
novel may well be made an occasion for
rejoicing, for the purer the novel the
purer become its readers, and the purer
the readers the better becomes society.
"Ours Is the duty to assist in roofing
out whatever yet remains OF the perDi-
cious realistic novel. It's poisoniis dead
ller than that Of the viper-its bite more
fatal than that of the scorp ion."

The Origin of Tobacco
Smoking in Pipes.
Remarkable Statement Made
BY an Evangelist.
Claims That He Went to Heaven and
Spent Three Days There.

The smoking of tobacco In pipes un-
qrestionably had it's origin among the
American indians, but when they began
the practice is ore of those questions that
sntiquarisns have never been able to an
swer even approximately. Pipes were in
use by the natives when Columbus made
his first voyage of discovery and how
long before no one knows. The most
ancient pipes OF which remains still ex-
ist were found In mounds or tumuIi called
pipe mounds principally In Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and.Iowa. Aubrey who wrote In
1850 declared that tobacco smokers at hrst
used silver pipes "but the ordinary sort
made use of wa lnut shell and straw"
In the reign OF William Ill pipes were oc-
cssionally made of brass and iron. The
clay pipe, much the same as is used now,
probably came into use very soon after
the introduction of tobacco In Britain.
The most noted seat of the pipe industry
in England is in Broseley, Stafford shire,
where 1t appears to have been established
in the middle of the sixteenth century
and where IL continues.

As early ~ 1901 the pipe makers OF
London enjoyed privileges which gave
them practical monopoly of the busi-
ness and in 1919 the craft OF pipe makers
was incorporated. The interesting state
ment is made In connection with the
introd uction OF smoking In Eng
land, that when the ancient tower OF
Kukstatt abbey fell, in 1873, Whitaker a
few days afterwards discovered, EN- bedded
in the debris several little smoking pipes,
such o. were used In the reign Of James
for tobacco, q proof OF the fact that not
long prior to the introduction of the
plant from America, the practice OF smok-
ing some indigenous vegetable prevailed
in that country. Captain Bragge OF Eng
land who has a collection of pipes con-
sisting of 5000 specimens, claimed to be
the largest in the world, has among them
,lay pipes from the sixteenth century.
DIR. George Des Lions OF New York is
said to have the largest collection of pipes
in the United States. The state pipe OF
the Shah of Persia, which Us richly inlaid
with precious stonss,is said to be worth
e3s7. 200.

Tobacco smoking probab bly, began In
France having been introduced into that
country by Jsan Nicot about 1860. Two
years earlier tobacco seems to have first
been introduced into Europe by Fran
cssco Fernandes. The manufacture of the
clay pipe which was established about the
middle of the sixteenth century, was un-
douotedly preceded by clay pipes in crude
form, improvised by smokers. W. j.
Bernhard. Smith, writing to Notes and
Queries tLondon). June 10, 1854, says
about "clsy tobacco pipcs:' tobacco

the practice OF smoking something"

FROM THE SOUTH SEAS,
Lloyd Osbourne Arrives From
Samoa and Tells of Its
EXcitements.

Lloyd Osbourne, American Vice-Consul
General at Apia, Samoa, and step
son of the late Robert Louis Ste-
venson, arrived at this City on the
steamer Alameda yesterday morning.
Mr.. Osbourne is accompanied by his
wife and baby boy. The latter caused the
enaction of an unusual scene aboard the
ship just half way between the sunny ISL
ands OF the South Seas and the equator.
The vourgster was hristened by Frede-
rick Wallis, Bishop of Wellington, and
will bear through this life tine name of
Alan.
Mr.. Osbourne's visit to America is not an
official one. He will go to Monterey in q
few days and from there to Lake Tahoe.

said Mr.. Osbourne, 1.-THE foreign men

of few years ago remains fresh in the

Domestic troubles continue to be ventl-

which prohi bits a divorced person from
remarrying for year after the granting
of divorce Suits for divorce were filed
in the office of the County Clerk yesterday
as follows:
John A. Roberts against Kate c. Rob-

Nellie Foster against Charles Foster for
neglect and desertion.
Sarah McDevitt against Daniel Nc
Dewitt, failure TO provide.
Minnie l.. Guistl against job J. Guisti,

Mrs. Julia Mebach has been granted a
divorce from Frank Mebach on the ground
OF cruelty. She has been awarded the GUS
tody of her minor child and sis month

Guiseppi Campi thinks he has good
cause OF complaint against his wife Maria
and wants legal separation. He says
that she left him after living with him
ten DAYS and that though she refused to
let him kiss her she permitted other men
to kiss her in his presence. This, he de-
clares, caused him great unhappiness and
inspired desire to be set free from the
calling bonds of matrimony.

The Alameda Has Made
That Many Trips to
Sydney.
Still as Stanch and True as
When She Left Cramps

ing twn-Purser Sutton in
Trouble.

The Alameda-the crack vessel of the
Oceanic Steamship Company's linear
rived in port at an early hour yesterday.
Her record now shows twenty-five con-
secutive round trips to Honolulu and fifty
round trips to Sydney, N. S. W. During
her fourteen years of service the vessel
has never been laid up for repairs and on
only one or two occasions was she ever
behind time.
From the time the vessel left the
Cramps yards in 1888 she has never been
laid up for day, and Chief Engineer bit
tie is confident she is good for another ten
years. Coming in ahead of time yester-
day morning the good ship looked like a
vessel just from the slips. For an odd
timer" the Alameda's record of 358 knots
for one days steaming between Auckland
and Apia is something that any of the
China steamers might be proud OF. Year
in and year out the Alameda has held her
own.
Only three of the old timers came in on
the Alameda yesterday. They were: A.
purser. and o. n Clark, chief stew
ard. Sutton severed his connection with
the company as soon as the vessel locked,
but Little is still to be found at the old
quarters.
Captain Van Oterendorp has only
recently taken charge of the Ala
media and Chief Officer Dowdell is
also new man on the steamer.
Purser Sutton has made up his
mind to retire from the steamship bust
ness and now, after his fiftieth round trip
