CRUSHING BLOW TO SPAIN.
Victoria de las Tunas Captured by
an Insur8enf Force.


MADRID, Sept. 10.-The news re-
ceived here of the capture by the Gu
ban insurgents of the town of VIC
toria de las Tunass province of san
tiago, has caused great excitement.
The newspapers condemn Capt. Gen.
Weyler. The Laparoeial says that
Gen. Jooveller was removed from his
command for a similar disaster in
1876. 1t is pointed out that the STRAIT
egical position of Victoria de las Tu-
mas is important The government
has decided to actS vigorously and to
Immediately dispatch further rein
forcements to Cuba, if that is neces-
sary.
The minister Of war has cabled
Capt. Gen. Weyler asking for an ex-
PLANTATION regarding the capture OF
Victoria de las Tomas, province OF
Santiago de Cuba, which is defended
by seven forts, , having two Krupp
guns among their armament. 1t is
stated here that the intention OF the
insurgents is to establish their gov
eminent there and to obtain recogn1-
ton of their belligerency by the
United States.
The minister for the colonies, Senior
Castellano, has beaded to hasten the
application of the cuban reforms. The
law providing for the election of the
commission for Cuban administration
will shortly appear. The munleipal

ly attended. Col Welz threw open his
large dining room to the merry mask
ers, who began ing5early, and by
10 o'clock the floor was crowded with
a throng. Costumes of every descrip-
ton were in evidence. knights, cour-
tiers and fine ladies mingled with
clowns, tramps and peddlers, while
creatures of fairyland darted hither
and thither in spangles and fantastic
attire of every hue. 1t was a picture
from the Arabian Nights, and while
the dancers joyously whiled away the
hours in the maze of the waltz or the
dignified lancers many spectators en-
joyed the gay scenes from the balcony
and sides of the room. 1t was a sight
not often witnessed by many who
gathered at the Ryan, and the nov
city heightened the pleasure. The floor
was reserved exclusively for those en-
masque, and it was season of merrf-
ment such as infrequently comes to
many, and the huge enjoyment de-
rived by all should recommend the
Mardi Gras as an annual feature.
The dances at Lifts hall and the
Merchants were also well attended
Many of the maskers went from
trated at the Ryan for the grand final
of mirth. At each place the same
happy vein prevailed, and ample OPP
portunity was available for all those
who had responded to the requests
to appear masked to take part in the
festivities.

streets, from early in the evening un-
til far beyond midnight, when the
asphalt street was a damned mass Of
surging humanity, all anxious to see
the sights, all in the height of good
humor, and joyously entertained by
the excitement and novelties provided
by the committee in charge. AT the
beginning of the festivities the crowd
disciplined itself by, in general, keep
ing on the opposite sides of the street
during the promenade. The side
streets were roped off to prevent
teams from driving through the
crowds, and with excellent police reg
ulation the biggest concourse of peo-
pie ever seen on Sixth street, not en-
cepting the gathering of Grand Army
week last year, was admirably han

The fun never Jagged for one mo-
ment. Thousands donned masks and
costumes to make the feature sue

of the keenest, it in no way surpassed
that of the throngS of SightSeers Peo-
pie of every nation were represented,
gallant knight, the roustabout negro,
while grotesque creatures OF magma
ton and legend added weird yet
attractive effect to the scene. During
the early hours of the evening the
gaily bedecked maskers mingled with

Resolved, That circular appeal be issued
by the national executive board to organized
