FIGHTING DUELs IN HAVANA.
Fatal DouhIe-Edged Saber Fight Be
tween Gonzalez and vlIlaverde.

Jacksonville, Fla. Sept. IL. Accounts
have reached here of mum erolis
passages at arms In the suburbs
of Havana between officers of the
Spanish army. In the great majority Of
cases these encounters have been COM
paratively harmless, but at the same time
there have been not few passages at
ar MS in which blood has been freely shed.
ard which have been fraught with serious
danger to the combatants.
One OF the worst OF these was the duel
which tool; place last Sunday few miles
outside of Havana between Commandant
Rafael Vallejo Gonzalez, Of the cavalry
regiment Principe, and Lieutenant Colonel
Viliavcrde, of Weyler's staff.
Gonzalez was killed in the third attack.
Double-edged dueling sabers were used.
Both men fought desper ately for two
periods ~ five minutes each. The MON ent
tile swords were crossed in the third en-
counter, Villavcrde, with a sweeping upper
cut, almost slashed the head of his opponent
from his body. Death was practically in
Simultaneous. The duel occurred over d.
vision OF cattle loot. Both men had letters
already prepared, stating that they had
committed suicide. Such a letter was found
in the pocket cf the dead commandment,
whose body was left on the field, and the
death was officially recorded as self
inflicted. SUCH suicides are becoming nu-
merous.

Notes of the Day.

What The country has hoped might be
svertcd, but feared all along, at lengthha
oone to pass in connection with the coal
strike IN Pennsylvania. In the Hazleton
district fourteen men lie dead, while forty
or more -one New York paper puts il at
seventy--are wounded and many Of them
will die 1t is an awful calamity, viewed
from any standpoint What its effects
mas be, IL is Impossible as vet to predict,
but il will not be without unhappy results
OF some sort. AS might be expected, ac-
counts vary as to the exact facts. What
canuot lie grinssid is, that twice during
Frida, the striking Hungarian and Czech
miners OF TIE Hazelton nelghborhood, few
ff any or whom can speak a word of
Englisi, came into violent collision with
the sheriff of Luzerne county and his
posse con,itatus. In the second difficulty,
the strikers. said TO have been in large
numbers ana wildly violent, charged the
sI,eriffs posse, which they found drawn
mp across a lane leading to the mine
toward which the foreigners were march
ing 10 coerce the few men there at work.

has displayed strength and power with
which, previously, tie world at large did

nan, Czech, or whatever he may be, is en-
titled 70 the same rights and liberties as
anyone else; but that he is here at allis a
shame and disgrace to the sordid influ
ences that imported him. In filling mines
aud industries with wild and ignorant out
handlers who do not pick up our Language

KALDENBACK Is INSANE.
Blood Poison Caused Him to Loss
His Mind.

james II. Kaldenback, a carpenter, liv-
ing at No. 9o6 Thirteenth street north
east. was taken violently insane at his
home yesterday and had to be removed
to the Ninth precinct station to prevent
him from doing bodily injury to his family.
While locked in cell during one Of his
rawlings he butted his head against the iron
bars and sustained q bad scalp wound,
which necessitated his being removed to
the Emergency Hospital, where he was
locked up in a strong room.
Kaldenback's insanity resulted from a
peculiar cause. While employed at Petit
s. Dripp's shop, at Fourteenth and b streets,
he lacersted the middle finger Of his
right hand, and in some manner the wound
was poisoned, and blood poison resulted
and the finger was amputated. This was
several months ago, and since then he has
at times showed SYMPTOM OF insanity, and
has recently beootne yiolent. He beseeched
his friends to kin him, and upon their, re-
fusal he attacked them. He viii be sent
to st. Elizabeth's Insane Asylum today.

From tie several dispatches to this Jour
nal and New York papers this morning, Il
seems evident that vigorous attack with
sticks stones and iron bars was made
upon the sheriff and deputies. The sheriff
himself asserts that he was knocked down.
beaten and kicked. From that on the
record is some what confused. AT some point
tn the proceedings the order to fire was
given. and twoor three volleys from seventy
weapons, besides scattering shots. were
fired into the mass Of the miners. To
have produced such slaughter the FIRING
must have been at very close quarters.
About every bullet appears to have found
itS billet, and naturally. a wild panic en-
sued among the companions OF those who
fell. Tine evidence as to the calamity is vet
too indefinite to justify criticisms, involv-
ing anybody. Reports indicate that out
side local sentiment holes the carnage to
have been unnecessary. Nevertheless, pub
lie opinion should wait for the full facts
before reaching definite conclusions.
