HAVANA, june 10. via Key west.-Several
bodies Of persons who lost their lives on the
train which, as reported yesterday in THE Sun,
was blown up by the insurgents a few miles from
Havana. between the stations Of Minas and
Campo Florido. have been recovered. Tho en-.
gineer, named Sopo. has been identified. His
body was found under the ruins OF a car.
Havana Is in n state of panic over the oxplo-
sion and no trains left the city to-day. The
insurgent leader who blow up the train was Col.
Ncstor Aranguren. All the Spanish forces in
Havana have been sent to tho outskirts of the
capital to prevent an attack on Havana itself by
Aranguren. Tho situation has been reported at
Madrid to be one of extreme gravity, because
Aranguren is gathering many Cuban bands
around Havana.
A report has boon sent to Secretary Of State
Sherman, signed by many Trustworthy persons,
with regard to the horrible outrages committed
by the Spaniards In Santa Clara province. A
Spanish column arrived at Trinidad with three
women prisoners, q mother and two daughters,
IA and 10 years Of age. The girls were assaulted
by the officers and by the Spanish General
Aldca. Then oil three were locked in a house in
which some sick Cuban prisoners were confined.
and the house was set on fire and all the inmates
persisted. The name of the women was Lopez.
In Cienfuegos and Santa Clara city similar
barbarities are Of daily occurrence. In Santa
Clara city 900 persons are dying of hunger.
Ramon Ferreira, 80 years old, his son and his
son.in-law were slain there in cold blood by the
Spaniards in his own house. Tho women Of tho
family who !nterfered In behalf of their relatives
were horsewhipped. All these crimes are con-
cealed by the Spaniards. but are constantly re.
ported to the American Consuls.
At Lajas the insurgent leader Cayito Alvarez
defeated q Spanish column and then burned the
neighboring Town of San Marcos.

Tomphlns County's skunk Farm.

BNGHAMToN, June 10.-The skunk farm near
Brookton, Tompkins county. which has been
operated by a company, has been removed to a
farm near Van Ettenville. About 1000 skunks
are being raised for the fur, which is quite val
liable. The first batch of the animals proved a
failure, as tho fur was not first class.
1t has been proved that unless skunks arc fed
on raw meat their fur deteriorRtes and falls out.
The black fur brings the highest price, and that
marked with y-shaped tracings OF white hairs
on the back Of the ANNA Is next In value. The
removal OF tho animals was accomplished with
but little dificulty, as they had become so tame
that they could easily be handled.
