THE CUBANS ACTIVE
Conflict Rages with Unabat-
ed Fury.
A SERIES OE HARD CONTESTS
Insurgents Capture Spanish Convoy
in Pinar del Rio-Town of
HoIguin Captured.
4 SERIES oE HARD CONTESTS

New YoRK, Nov. A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
The insurgent troops in the field are
very active. On October 80 the Span
iards sustained the most severe loss they
have met for some time. On the borders
Of Matanzas province General Molina
was defeated by the insurgents under
General Betsucourt.
General Molina was on his way to
Havana with brigade of troops to par
ticipate in Blanco's reception. At Agu-
AGATE he heard that the rebels we're en-
camped in Purgatory hills, and broke
his march to attack them. The fight
was long one and the Spanish loss was
large. He was finally forced to re-
treat.
In Pirar del Rio province the rebels
under command of Captain Lorr at
tackled a convoy that left San Cayetano
and captured large supply of clothing
and ammunition.
A report apparently well founded is
current in Havana to the effect that
Holguin has been captured by rebels
under Cebreco. That has been attacked
and that rs Spaniards were killed, is ad-
mitted, but the capture is denied.
General Luque with heavy reinforce
ments left Havana yesterday for Hol-
guin.
Ina book on the Cuban war just pub
lished, here, General Weyler writes the
introduction. In one place he says:
1.-THE system of warfare carried on by
me in this campaign is not new one.
1t is the same as that pursued by the
Americans OF the North when they
fought their brethren of the South"
A million dollars in paper currency
has mysteriously disappeared from the
treasury here. The money was intend
ed for the payment of the navy and the
troops.
This fact coupled with an attempt tc
deprive the army and navy of their pay
for the months of April, May and June
is causing great indignation.

1900 Men WIN be Employed.

Los ANGELES, Nov. 4.-Another inn
portant enterprise in the beet-sugar in
dustry is about to be launched by the
Oxnards, proprietors of tho Chino fac
tory. After examining several different
sites in widely different localities, they
have at last decided in favor of Huene-
me, Ventura county. In selecting this
locality preference was shown over San
Louis Obispo and Sacramento counties,
as we'll as over Texas. all of which places
were in competition for securing the
proposed factory.
The production of beets raised upon
10000 acres OF land for five consecutive
years has been guaranteed for the fac
tory's use at the price of 1925 per ton
during the entire term. One hundred
acres of land for the factory site has
been donated by the local people inter-
ested.
Work on the building of the factory
will begin promptly, in order to have it
ready for the crop of 1898. 1t is to have
capacity of l 900 tons of beets per day.
which will be increased to 25 900 tons
in 1898. 1t will give employment to
1000 men at the factory, while from
1000 to l 800 men will be employed in
the field.

THE LANGUAGE OF THE DAY.

The Use of 1t Caused the Broker to
Shut Down on the Use of Slang.
From the Detroit Free Press
There is a man in the Hammond block
who hates slang with an abiding hatred.
He is a authority in the business world,
and is frequently called upon for advice.
The other day a broker entered hurriedly.
Il have chance to go in with Blims on
what looks like "a good DEAL" said the
caller. rs Blims a square man,
NO sir: Mr.. Blims is round as a marble

You misunderstood me. Is Blims on the

anything crooked about Bims?"

Perfectly so. He was with me for ten
years and 1 found that he wouldn't even

Then the broker hastened back to his Of

LIKE RED PEPPER.
Slang Should De Used Very Lightly
md With Discretion.


md With Discretion.
From Harpers Bazaar
There is a fashion in slang. as in every
thing else, and that used by the youth of
today is not the same as that employed by
their parents when they were young. But,
although slang may change, it never goes
out of fashion. And I think 1 may safely
state that among young people 1t was never
more deplorably popular than it is now. 1t
is argued that there is no harm in it; and
when used only occasionally, among a Sc
lect few who know one another well, this
may be true. But the harmful thing about
1T all is that the habit of slangy speech is
easily contracted, and that 1t vitiates the
speech all unconsciousy TO the speaker
l have tn mind young girl, bright and
OF Intimate friends she used slang so con-
stantly that when she was with people to
whom she wished to talk well and nuen:Iy
she was obliged all the while to be on her
guard lest some slangy idiom escaped her
She was at dinner, and for the first half
hour she managed to avoid all rocks and
reefs OF slang. Then she grew more conf
dent as she became interested in the con-
versation OF the man next her-a brilliant
ntterateur. He was telling her of young
girl, rich already, to whom had been left
a legacy which she was to spend upon lust
what she most desired for herself Here
he named the sum to be used for that pur-
pose.
Our woud-be careful heroine forgot her
caution in her amaZement.
Imagine having all that cash Just to
blow in!'' she exclaimed
'. And then she remembered. and remem-
beTing, flushed scarlet, and was overcome
with confusion.
She told me of it with tears of mortifica-
tion in her eyes.
Just when 1 wanted to appear at my
best! she lame1ted. But 1 have learned
my lesson. and shall stop using slang. if
have to be dumb to do it. Never. even In
the heart OF my own home. will 1 allow
myself to use the hateful thing"
1t Is pity that more girls have not
learned TIE same lesson. A little slang
used jud!ciously may be expressive. 1t is
never elegant, and should only be utilized
in speech as red pepper is employed in
cookinS-very lightly, and with great dis
cretion.

The Speedy Razorbnck.

From the Florida Tim ,s Union.
A wild boar hunt was the exciting sport
number of the young men of South Jack
sonyille had looked forward to last week
with great deal of pleasure. The wild
boar was a razorback hog He was in
stalled in pen and fed with red pepper,
gunpowder and dynamite, and became as
fierce as his reputed cousin of the Black
Forest.
On the day of the huat cavalcade as
sembled at the meeting place armed with
javelins and spears made of bamboo with
hunting knives tiec to the end.
The wild bo was liberated and trotted
away into the woods He sauealed a half
contented, inGuisitive. where s-the-rest- of
my-family sort Of a saueal, with no
thought of the pursuers who spurred and
whipped their horses into furious pursuit.
The wild boar trotted along-just simply
and coolly trotted. He didn't look as il he
were going, but the gait soon distanced his
pursuers, and they were thus robbed of the
pleasure of 'jabbing' him full of holes.

THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER.
He Tells q Story of Love and AdveA-
tufe which Sounds Like a Book.

He Tells q Story Of Love and Adven-
ture which sounds Like a Book.
A locomotive engineer should be one OF
the most truthful of men. That's why this
little story Of southern engineer should
be believed implicitly.
"You may talk as you please about red
Needed women" he was saying to q group
of listeners, among whom was a Star re-
porter. but a red-headed woman saved
my life and established a home for herself
all at once. I was twenty-five then and
was running freight on the c. and o. in
the West Virginia mountains, where 1t took
talent to run an engine. My division ended
at Hinton, and there was a red-headed girl
lived about six miles to the east. where
tnere was q siding near a big cut and I'LL,
ard 1t was bad place. as the road was
new.
The girls name was Maggie Conroy,
and she had. the reddest head 1 ever saw
on human beings shoulders outside of a.
t0rchilght procession But didn't care for
that, and did care for Maggie. One sun
shiny day was coming down track with a
stock train loaded with some extra fine
cattle and sheep, and 1 had in the caboose
three CT the owners. 1t had been raining
al d Washouts were looked for, but hadn't
seen any and was bowling along at a good
speed when all of a sudden at the curve
thought 1 saw red light rising just over
the track. It seemed to shine like blaze
in the track, and before l took time for a
tnougnt 1 nad shut on the steam, whistled
down the brakes and was doing my best to
stop"
Right then my fireman gave me the
nav haw In way to chill the blood in the
veins or a man who can't stand teasing,
ard took a look forward and found that
the red light I thought 1 saw was only
Maggie's head of red hair sticking up IN
advarce as she pulled herself up the steep
embaLkment to get onto the track. With
an oath opened everything again, bat as
l did so Maggie threw UP her hands and
dropped In dead faint by the track. and
stopped OF everything again, for felt sure
tnat something was wrong. 1 had half an
hour or so leeway between trains, and I
shook Maggie up as quickly as / could to
ma oCt what was the matter. She came
around mighty soon, because she had only
tainted from overexertion, and she told me
now big boulder had fallen on the track
IN curve near her house that wouldn't
nave seen till 1t was too late to stop for,
and she had run across the spur of th,.
mountain to stop ME in time II she could.
That's what she was trying to do when
her red head 4hone like danger signal and
stopped me. Later the owners of the stock
gave her money enough to buy a nice little
house at Hinton and six months later l
moved in. We've got the house yet, but
we don't live In it," concluded the engineer,
Tor 1t wasn't big enough for a family of
SIX children, and not red-headed one IN
the lot" "

The COlOners Aversion.

''If theuh's anything that / dislike" re-
marked Colonel Stilwell. its supereroga-
tion. Tleuh abe too many people in this
world who insist on telling you in the most
solemn mannuh things which any puhson
might of awdinary intelligence would readi-
ly take foh granted. 1 was recently at
city on the coast where 1 met a young
friend OF mine. He was very courteous.
One Of the first things he did was to ask
me il I would not like to go down the
beach a short distance and get acquainted
with their life-saving arrangements"
You went, of co'se." suggested Major
Mott.
No I told him that the journey was
quite unnecessary, as 1 had a flask in my
pocket. He refused to join me, and IL II
had not been foh his extreme politeness
should have sought society elsewhere TO tn
with.
The convuhsation went rather slowly.
Finally, howevuh, he made an effort and
entered on a disclose about the ocean. He
dwelt upon The majestic waves that kept
rolling in to the Sho' and said that IL filled
him with awe to gaze across that stretch
Of water into the infinity OF space"
THAT was a remarkably impressive
thought"
TO be sure. That obsuhvation had some
reason in it. But his next renlahk reused
my indignation. With the air of a man
who proposes to astonish you with his
cleverness, he proceeded TO say that ii was
fine to look at, but that 1t was mighty poor
comfort when ii came to a pinch, IL
wasn't Mt to drink. What do you think,
sub, of a full-grown mans wasting words
10 construct a sentence like that?"
But" expostulsted he mai jor, 'he meant
that ii was salty"
The colonel glared at him.
'Puh-haps he meant that that ocean was
salty and puh-haps he did not; but will you
be kind enough to tell me. sub. what the
deuce that has to do with the question.

OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

The older man was the father of the we-

who wanted IL HARRY her.
The younger was the average. young
man seeking wf1eAno better. no worse.
Why the father,d did not want him as his
son-in-law must be answered by other
fathers who hakafelt as this one did. Per-
haps there is flo answer.
So when the younger man came, the
older was prepared to meet him as one who
was by no mfhas first in his estimation.
The younger man was aware Of the olders
feeling, but quite disregarded it.
Perhaps 1t Is the only successful method
OF treatment under the circumstances.
Ihat the young man was conceited goes
without saying but he was not an isolated
example, as any one may know who knows
young men.
''Wen?" greeted the father, when the
sultor appeared in his presence.

responded the caller. "As you may be
aware. 1t IS to ask your consent to the
marriage or your daughter to me-.

and violent.
