Cardenas, the eastern gateway to Ha
vana has been bombarded by the Ameri
can fleet
The warships appeared off the city yes
terdav and engaged the city's defences
with well-directed fire.
The bombardment OF Cardenas was 81
multaneous with that Of Cienfuegos. Six
warships took part in it.
The Americans landed a boat at
Cardenas, capturing the signal station
there.
The American warships then entered
the bay and opened a hot fire on the bat
teries on the shores. Many OF the shells
dropped into the city
The Spanish gunboat Antonio Lopez
was in the bay and began feeble re-
sstance, but shell from one OF the
warships settled her in few moments
and she sank.
The Americans attempted to land sew
eral boats, but the Spanlards, it is
claimed, drove them back.
There were several bands of Cubans in
the vicinity and they tried to cooperate
with the American forces, but gave little
assistance.
Cardcnas was one of the points
selected Ivy the military strategsts at
which to land troops for the invasion OF
Cuba.
The United States transport Gussie,
which left Tampa on Tuesday afternoon
with two companies of the LIST Infantry
and arms and ammunition for the iusur-
gents, was under orders, it is believed, to
effect a landing on the north coast of
Cuba near Havana.
1t is believed that the commandment
of Cardenas was the preliminary step to
the attempted landing of this expedition

years to my boy. as it was our last
hope, at least during the present ad-
ministration. You do not know how
many kind friends had to help me in
Washington, and wish to mention es-
pecially Senator Berry of Arkansas,
who was a personal friend of my huS-
band Clyde's father. Senator Baker
and Congressman Curtis Of Kansas and
Bailey of Texas all helped. Everybody
seemed to help, and I wish to say that
the president ana attorney general
in all three of the trials, and they be-
came convinced that my boy was inno-

splendid letters from all the court Off

EARTH ROCKS.
Like Waves of the Sea in San
Domingo.
Great Building of Columbus,
Time Totally Destroyed.

New York, Jan. 19-The Clyde Line
steamer Cherokee which arrived today
from San Domingo ports brings details
of the recent earthquakes which have
occurred with frequency since Decem-
Der 29 last. Great damage has been
caused throughout the whole country
and the inhabitants were driven from
their homes in a panic.
AT CAB in the morning of December
Is the people in the northern part of
the island were startled by a very Sc
we're trembling of the earth lasting full
ly % seconds. At Porto Plata and the
surrounding neighbOrhOod, including
the inland town of Santiago this first
shock was most severely felt Women
and children rushed from their houses
into the streets crying out to be saved.
The Swaying of walls and the rocking
OF the earth caused sensation of nau-
sea- The first shock was soon follow
ed by another and still another in rap
id succession. Then all was quiet until
p. m, when another slight movement
was felt which caused another stam-
pede of the inhabitants. Many people
say that the water in disused wells was
seen to surge level with the ground and
almost as rapidly disappear again. 1t
is calculated that damage to the
amount of S25, 900 was done in the small
port Of Porto Plata alone. The Central
Domingo railroad suffered severely
traffic being interrupted since the Oc-
currence of the earthquakes. The sub
marine cable to Hayti was affected by
the seismic movement and communica-
ton was interrupted
In Santiago a number of churches
were rendered dangerous for use, GEM
etery walls were ruined and a chapel
fell as though it had been struck by a
bomb shell. The government build tngs
were damaged to a great extent and
will need extended repairs if not COM

The grand edifce of Santa Cerro. one
of the oldest in the western hernfs-
phere and dating from the time of Col

every day since December &c, there have
been shocks, but of a comparativ
harmless nature. AS far as is known
there has been no loss of human life
The shocks were perceptibly felt on
board of vessels in the harbors of the
island.

GOLDEN JUBILEE.
California to Celebrate Her
Fiftieth Anniversary.
Beginning on Monday and Last
ing a Week.

San Franciso. Jan. 19.-Preparations for
the golden jubilee of California-the if
tieth anniversary of the discovery of the
yellow mctal-are making rapid headway
The celebration will begin on Monday
next and continue during the week.
1t will embrace many entirely novel
features, nearly every county in the state
contributing to render the affair nOta-
BILE event in the annals of California. In
connection with the jubilee a mining fair
will be held, which promises to be the
most complete exposition of the kind in
the west. San Francisco is already gaily
decorated in anticipation of the coming
carnival week and visitors are arriving
in large numbers. Governor Budd has
declared the opening day of the jubilee a
legal holiday, and during the week of fes-
tivity the public schools will be closed.
Seldom before has state and civic pride
been aroused to. a greater degree and it
is already evident that all former popular
demonstra tions here will be equaled if
not eclipsed.

.RANDSBURG IN FLAMES.
The Desert Mining Town Nearly
Wiped Out.

Randsburg. Cal, Jan. 19.-Fire broke
out early today in a vacant building on
Rand street and spread so rapidly that
more than 80 structures were consum-
ed within one hour.
Everything was swept clean on both
sides on Rand street from Staley ave-
nue. to above the Elite theater and on a
portion of Broadway. This includes
the postofhce and some of the largest
stores IN the camp and will entail a
loss close on to $4,000.
The absence of wind prevented the
destruction of the entire town and per-
mitted the fremen and citizens to stop
the fire by tearing down buildings and
moving them out of the way. No per-
sons were injured, and all the mail was
saved.

STORMED THE COURT.
Crowd Rushed Over the Guards
at the Luetgert Trial.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Anxiety to hear the
closing proceedings in the trial of
Adolph L. Luetgert for the murder Of
his wife, resulted in a free fight in and
around Judge Gary's court room today
in which two bailiffs, standing guard at
the door, were badly treated and sew
eral spectators vigorously dubbed.
A crowd of 400 or 500, including many
women, had gathered outside the court
room. Suddenly a rush was started for
the doors, and though the guards re-
sisted vigorously, they were swept aside
and the crowd poured into the court
room causing considerable excitement.
A detachment of police was sent on
the double quick to the court, and after
a hard fight succeeded in clearing the
room and driving the crowd out.

Of Miss Herbert and Senator

Kills Herself With a Pistol at
Crab Orchard Farm.

News of the suicide of Miss Harriet
Keith Owens on Monday at Crab Orchard
farm, the home of her father Basil d.
Owens, near Washington. reached here
last night. Miss Owens had been in poor
health for some time and had to give up
her school last fall on that account
She rested unusually well Sunday night
and seemed very cheerful eating a hearty
breakfast. She read the account of the
shooting of ex-senator Joe Blackburn's
daughter, Mrs. Lane with much interest.
After reading about the shooting she went
to her brothers room, and, securing his
pistol, placed it to her temple and fired
the fatal shot. Death was instantaneous
Miss Owens was one of the brightest girls
in the county and the Owens family is
prominent one. The tragedy is widely
deplored.

sioners are going over the situation.
The county printing in Sedgwick
amounts to about $4,000 per year.
Chairman Wilson of the board esti-
mated that a paper with the required
legal standing can be bought for at
least two or three hundred dollars, and
maybe as low as one hundred and If
ty.
To this two or three hundred dollars
worth of type could be added and a
man hired on a salary of from sixty to
one hundred dollars per month. The
commissioners estimated cost of doing
the county's work with the cOuntys

not exceed at most one-half the sum
now expended for the work.

rest of Dreyfus, Won Funcke was sud

the government. When his predesces-
sor, Baron Won Hueme, left Paris he
handed Won Funcke a list of persons in
France who were in relation with the
German intelligence department en-
joining him never to let it out of his

Shortly after entering upon his duties

MAIL AND CAPITAL FOR 1T.
Both Want the County Printing and
Offer Half Rates.

The Mail and Capital are rivals in
the contest for the county printing.
Both papers have filed propositions be
fore the board of county commissioners
to do the printing for half the legal
rates and the commissioners are now
considering the matter. The Mail has
had the contract without any Opposi-
tiOn for several years but this year a
rival appeared in the form of the Cap
ital.
The commissioners are in doubt about
the legality of allowing the delin-
quent tax list to be printed at half the
legal rates. The plan which has been
followed heretofore was to pay full
rates for this list and half rates for the
rest of the printing. This year the
board is considering the question of
paying half rates for the tax list
County Attorney Jetmore will be asked
for an opinion to determine whether
or not the fact that the lists are printed
at half rates may moi invalidate tax

MERRY GIVES UP.
Chicago Wife Murderer Certain He
Will be Convicted.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Today the alleged
Wife murderer, Chris Merry, even before
his defense could be presented to the
jury, gave up apparently all hope of es-
Gaping the gallOWs. Before court open
ed he broke into one of his fearful ours
ing spells. In the little room just off
the court Merry acted like a. wild man.
Pratt, exclaimed Merry to his at
torney, will you go with me to the
gallows. No, no priest, no minister for
me. 1 want you. I'd rather have you
walk with me to the scaffoId than any
Holy hypocrite."
Attorney Pratt tried to reason with
Merry, but the prisoner yelled volley
after volley of curses on his dead wife,
and the police.
7 won't confess" he yelled. what
for? That jury will hang me, no mat
ter what say
Counsel for James Smith who is on
trial with Merry for completely in the
murder, sprang a surprise today by
moving that Smiths case be taken
from the jury on the ground that no
evidence connecting Smith with the
murder had been introduced.
The motion was Overruled after con-
siderable argument. The defense put
witnesses on the stand today to at
tempt to prove Merry insane. Merry
himself fatty refused to go on the wit
ness stand.
