MRS. RORER'S LECTURE.
Serving, In Fox Hall, Well
Attended.

Notwithstanding the counter attraction
at the opera house, large crowd assem-
bled in Fox's hall last night to hear Mrs.
Rorer on THE Chafng DISH" and Cary
ing and Serving" Many gentlemen were
to be seen in the audience, and some
never before appreciated the extent Of
their ignorance of the modes of carving
and serving until Mrs. Rorer so plainly
and so clearly pointed out the way so
easy to look upon, but seemingly so diff
ficult to perform when once attempted.
The first subject taken up was THE
Chatting DISH and with practical Illus
trations Mrs. Rorer demonstrated it's
usages and advantages. Several dishes
were actually prepared during the course
of her talk upon the subject Its advant-
ages were dwelt upon carefully and the
misuse, as explained by the excellent
speaker caused great deal of merri-
ment.
When the second subject Carving and
Serving" was taken up, the gentlemen
paid strict attention to every detail.
Practical illustrate were also given in
these lines, except there was no fowl
carved. Mrs. Rorer made the manner of
correctly carving so plain that everyone
present vowed to themselves that they
could easily do it. AS the speaker aptly
says, wait until they try it the first time,
and they will see that it is not SO easy.

The body was taken in charge by the
Warner-Smiley company and removed to
their morgue on Twentieth street, where
1t still remains. Coroner. G. b. Burk-

Galveston, Tex, Feb. 19.-From
time TO time sensational stories have
been sent out to papers throughout
the country from different points in
Texas telling of certain alleged expe-
ditions to Cuba that were being start
ed out from here.
Yesterday morning the Daily News

Dallas date, telling of mysterious
expedition that was said 10 be about

tanning about 300 armed men and am
munitiOn.
And now another Cuban expedition
has developed. In his round today a
News reporter came across Mr.. An
dres Sacrazo, a representative of the
Cuban government, who is in the
city. a guest of a we'll known labor
ing man, who asks that his name be
Withheld.
Mr.. Sacrazo tells a very interesting
story. He claims that up to a short
while ago he was in Cuba as a clerk
in the government offices. He left the
island as a sailor aboard a vessel and
arrived in Key West about three
weeks ago. There he consulted with
well known cOmpartriOts with the re-
Sult that he came to Galveston. under
an assumed name.
He claims to be here for the purpose
of enlisting a brigade of 800 cowboys
to 20 with him to Cuba.
Il want nothing but cowboys" said
he. They are all good hOrsemen,
trained marksmen and of dauntless
courage caring nothing for danger and
valuing the success Of the cause in
which they are engaged more than
their lives"

New York, Feb. 19.-The New York

Our associates in the conduct of the
United Press, the Tribune, the Herald
and the Times having entered upon ne
gotiations for the surrender of the
United Press to the Chicago Associat-
ed Press without consultation with
the Sun and without even asking our
consent, it becomes proper that we
should now give public notice to whom
it may concern that the Sun has no
part in these negotiations but firmly
rejects them, believing them to be con-
ceived in bad faith, and conducted in
folly. Furthermore, the Sun makes
known that thirty days from date here
of, it will cease to be a member of the
United Press. The Sun will also con-
tinue to collect the news for itself and
to discharge all obligations imposed
upon it through the confidence Of its

A PHILIPPINE BATTLE.
INsURGENT TROOPS DIED BRAVELY
DEFENDING THEIR POSTS.
Only Gave up Notifications When Blown
Out of Them by Spanish Artillery
Bravery in Every Instance.

New York, Feb. ia special to the
Herald from Madrid, says: A newspa-
per here publishes the following de-
tails of the operations in Cavite, Phil
lipine islands:
In conformity with the plans of Cen
eral Polavieja, which up to the present
have been realized in all respects, Col
Barraqueratt attacked an advantag-
eous rebel position at Pamptona. The
Notifications at Pomptona are most
important. There a large number Of
rebels had gathered, it is said 5000 in
all, with firearms. The enemy defend
ed themselves with great courage
maintaining a heavy fire for three
hours, but finally they weakened I'M
der flank attacks and commenced to
dispense. Attacked by bayOnets and
harrangued by the rebel leaders, they
rallied again on the defensive, and
were more obstinate than ever. 1t
was then that the Spaniards met with
most of their losses-twenty killed and
forty-seven wounded. The rebels were
completely routed and they lost 400
men, mostly killed with the bayonets.
The first man to enter the Notifications
was a native named Garay, who after
ward was complimented in front Of
the troops.
Gen. j. Marillo's column, after taking
Buyunyungan and Fort Tranquero,
commenced a march for the Sungay
mountains. The march was extremely
trying, owing to the natural difficult
ties.
The rebels had added numerous tren-
ches and bitches which are calculated
to have necessitated the work of many
thousand men for months even to
move the earth required for the in
trenchments and other defenses. In
many of these the rebels offered a de-
termined resistance. In not one did a
rebel flee, and all died fighting.
In Vigay the rebels also displayed
great courage. The artillery at short
range caused many losses, stacking the
enemys fire. Gen. Jamarillo then or
dered a bayonet charge. When the
rebels had fed, leaving their arms,
ammunition, etc, in the trenches and
Notifications, thirty-seven bodies were
found and buried. The Spanish los
was eight killed and twenty-eight
wounded.
