Lotteries in Old Havana.

In Havana the strangers attention
Is arrested by the vendors OF lottery
tickets, who stand on the street corners
with pair of shears in one hand and
sheets of lottery tickets in the other,
ready to cut off any number for buyers.
They are very adroit, and are apt to
persuade the credulous that they will
draw a fortune in the scheme. These
licensed lotteries are one of the great
evils there, especially to the Spanish
people, who seem to be born gamblers,
and for whom the chances Of dice,
cards. and lottery tickets appear to
have an irresistible charm, all classes in
Havana dealing in them habitually.

MILLION DOLLAR FIRE.

Serious Blow to the Town OF Colorado
Springs-Eight Blocks Burned.
Colorado Springs, Colo, Oct. A.
This city had visitation of fire this
afternoon which threatened for four
hours to destroy the entire business
district. The wind was blowing at the
rate of 45 miles an hour from the
southwest when the fire started at the
Denver & Rio Grande freight depot, at
the foot of Cucharis street, at 2:10 P.
M, and the flames spread with great
rapidity. A strip four blocks long
from north to south, and two blocks
wide from east to west, has been burned
over, but at this hour the confagration
is believed to be under control. The
flames are still leaping high over the
burnt district. but the wind has died
down, and there is no doubt that the
fire engines, which have come from
Denver and Pueblo in response to ap-
peals for aid, will be able to confine
the flames within the present limits.
The Antlers hotel, one of the largest
in the West, three lumber yards and
two blocks of business houses have been
destroyed. In round mum bers the loss
is estimated at $1,000, 900, and insur-
ance at one-half of that amount.

4 Wild Spanish STORY.
Madrid Paper Publishes Details Of
Spanish Victory.
A GREAT MYTHICAL BATTLE.
Cervera Said to Have Given Combat to
Sampson-Two American Warships
Said to Have Been Destroyed and the
American Fleet Vanquished.

MADRID, May BEL Progresso pub
fishes dispatches purporting to come
from Paris, giving details of an al
legged battle near Jamaica, in which, it
is said, two American warships were
destroyed and one Spanish warship
was injured.
The story is that Commodore Schley's
squadron parted from Rear Admiral
Simpsons off the eastern point of
Cuba, steered toward the Yucatan pc
ninsula, followed closely by Simpsons
I ships. Both were sighted from the
watch towers of Jantiago de Cuba.
Rear Admiral Sampson arrived off
the province of Puerto Principe, con-
tinuing in the direction of jamaica.
Admiral Cervera left Santiago Thurs
day, May 20, at midnight, all his lights
being extinguished, with the Vizcaya
and the Almirante Oquendo, preceded
by the Torpedo boat destroyer Furor.
He took up position in proximity to
Jamaica. Two hours later the remain
der of Admiral Cervera's squadron
withdrew from the harbor of Santiago
and proceeded in southerly direction.
On the morning of Friday the Furor
came up rapidly to the Vizcaya and
the Almirante, advising Admiral Ger
vera of the approach of the enemy.
Rear Admiral Simpsons ships steamed
with full steam toward the Spanish
vessels, but moved in southerly di
rection to effect a juncture with the
remainder of the Spanish squadron.
Presently the battle ragged furiously
on both sides. The Americans de-
tached three cruisers and three smaller
ships to surround the Vizcaya and the
Almirante Oquendo. The Furor, be-
tween the cross-fire of the enemy,
made for the American flagship, not
withstanding the fire of the heavy
guns.
The outcome of the contest was that
two American warshipS were sunk and
one Spanish warship disabled in its
steering gear. The remaining vessels
of the American squadron were so
much damaged that they were com
PEELED to take refuge in Haytien
waters. 1t is reported that the Cristo-
Dol Colon captured one American ship,
which had been disabled from Il shot
by the Vizcaya that perforated her
side.
The Vizcaya rislScd destruction from
an American destroyer. 1t is believed
that after the combat the Spaniards
sailed for Havana, or, if the conditions
of the vessels or the presence of a su-
perior force of the enemy required,
took refuge at Cardenas or Matanzas.
The publication of this dispatch from
Paris caused an excited discussion of
the conflicting reports from various
sources, which completely absorbed all
sections Of the press and all circles of
the public in Madrid.
WASHINGTON, May 30.-Ofiicials of
the navy department not only discredit
the reports of naval engagement near
Jamaica on Friday, but declare with
the utmost positiveness that it did not
occur. Advices from Admiral Samp-
son and Commodore Schley clearly in
dictate that the statements contained
in the Madrid story are without the
slightest foundation in fact.

Big Steamer on a Reef.

New LONDON, Conn, May 31.-The
300 passengers on board the south
bound steamer City of Worcester of
the Norwich line, Captain Ward, had a
long to be remembered unpleasant ex-
perience at an carly hour this morning
on account of the steamer running
hard upon Cormorant reef, two miles
off this harbor, during the fog. The
accident proved so serious that it was
necessary to put back and beach the
boat just above the Pequot house. A
panic ensued among the passenge rs,
but the perfect discipline of the crew,
as well as the fact that the City of Lo-
well, sister ship, returning from New
York, doomed up as the boat was
beached, helped to allay their fears.
No casualties resulted.
