Are Defeated.

PLIES is SEIZED. -.
Failing to Prevent the Daring Raids
Weyler Is Busy in Sending
Out False Reports.

HAVANA, CUBA (vla Key West. Fla.).
Aug. 2.-Havana is practically in state
of siege. An attempt made by the Span
ish battalion of San Quentin to dlsIodge
the Cubans from camps among the hills
in Managua. three miles from Havana at
the suburb La Vivora, ended yesterday in
the defeat of the Spaniards. -.
The insurgents. commanded by Juan
del Gado, occupied an advantageous posi-
ton and the Spanish could not dislodge
them. The Cubans had only two killed
and very few wounded, while the San
Quentin battalion had seventy killed and
wounded. When the Spanish saw they
could not attain their end they retreated
to the capital.
A military train coming to Havana with
cattle to provide meat for the capital and
with horses for the Spanish army was
seized by the insurgents between the sta
tions of Agnacate and Banioa. The cars
were burned, the horses. were taken by
the Cubans and the cattle were sent to
Cuban stores. =:
Within sight of Jaraco, a few miles from
Havana, Spanish column was. defeated
by insurgents after several hours fight
ing. The Spaniards carried into town
sixty of their dead and ninety-two wound
ed, among whom were several officers.
One can hardly realize that it is possible
for the Cubans to do what they are now
doing near Havana. The insurgents have
been able to infict all this evil simply be-
cause they recently received some expedi.
tons from the United States, which land
ed safely in Havana province. They are
now well provided with arms and am
munition. But still their mum bers are so
inferior to those of the Spanish battalions
in the capital, and Weyler's resources are
so vastly superior. that it is positively a
disgrace to the. Spanish army that the
capital. the very stronghold OF the Span
ish captain general, is kept in a constant
state of alarm by the Cubans. =; =.
The principal desire of the Spanish u
thorities here is to prevent the publica-
ton of this news in the United States.
Nothing is happening except ''raids of a
few bandits" according to the official
declarations at the palace. The numbe I
of men in each insurgent band is said to
be not more than ten, while the fact is the
smallest Cuban force before Havana has
not less than 200 men.
The price of victuals at Havana has ad-
vanced enormously since the raids began,
and the poorer classes are starving. Pro-
visions, clothes and shoes have been sent
to few families of American citizens liv-
ing at Jesus del Monte by the American
Consul-General.
Many letters have been received from
the leaders of different insurgent bands
around the capital, ing that there is
not the slightest prospect that the Cubans
in arms Will accept home rule or anything
short of independence.
Eduardo Garcia Mates, who was ar
rested here some time ago while acting as
correspondent for the New York Sun, was
expelled from the island by WeyIer.

LINCOLN AND JACKSON.

Two Patriots Whose Names Should NeveF
BE Forgotten.
Lincoln owed nothing to his birth.
everything to his growth; had no train
Ing save what he gave himself; DO
nurture, but only wild and native
strength. His life was his schooling,
and every day of it gave to his charac-
ter new touch Of development His
manhood not only, but his perception
also. expanded with his life. His eyes,
rs they looked more and more abroad,
beheld the national life aad colnpre-
hended it, and the lad who had been SO
rough cut provincial became, when
grown to manhood, the one leader in
ell the nation who held the whole peo-
pie singly in his hcart-held even the
southern people there and would have
won them back. And so we have in him
what we must call the perfect develop
ment of native strength, the rounding
out and naturalization Of the provin.
cial. Andrew jackson was type, not
Of the nation, but of the west. For all
the tenderness there was in the stormy
heart of the masterful man, and stanch
and simple loyalty to all who loved
him, he learned nothing in the east;
kept always the flavor Of the rough
school in which he had been bred; was
never more than frontier soldier and
gentleman.
: Lincoln differed from Jackson by all
the length Of his unmatched capacity
to learn. jackson could understand cnly
men of his own kind. Lincoln could
understand men of all sorts and from
every region CT the land; seemed him
self, indeed, to be all men by turns as
mood succeeded mood in his strange
nature. -Fcrum.
