XIII.
Many persons believe that the pres
ence OF the American ship here is de-
signed to bring about disturbances on
the streets of Havana, when the Amer
lean sailors and marines land. This
morning two battalions OF infantry and
a section of artillery arrived from the
province OF Pinar del Rio.
Havana, Jan 26.-(via Key West)-
General Molina on the morning OF the
Goth of January began a second attack
upon the insurgents position between
Boca Camarioco and Punta Maya The
insurgents were under Leader Tabarts,
and they stood continuous vOlleys until
the Spanish, about II O'Clock, began
an artillery fire. The insurgents being
without cannon burned their camp and
made q flank movement toward the
coast and the Spanish rear, obliging
General Molina to abandon his position
in order to avoid rear attack and COM
polling him 10 retreat toward the coast.
The insurgents Immediately divided
their forces and invaded the rich zone
of sugar cane, burning immense cane
fields, with incalculable loss. The Span
ish had II killed, including a captain.
They buried their dead and then re-
tired. They had % wounded.
The insurgents have burned the
greater part OF the cane fields on the
plantation Union, near San Luis, al
though the plantation is protected by
forts and detachments.
The military authorities here criticize
General Molina for attacking the in
surgents camp at Camarioco, as they
consider it unimpOrtant, and the sacri-
flee too serious for experiment.
General Molina had 1880 infantry and
400 cavalry. He attacked the rebel
camp and there was fighting for five
hours, but finally he was obliged to re-
tire without success. The loss on both
sides was Insignificant.
The rebels are still devoting their at
tenticn to preparing for the coming wet
season. Every day large quantities Of
supplies of all sorts are sent to them.
Radicals here say that General Blanco
is playing his last card in his present
visit to the eastern provinces. for the
purpose, it is said, of attempting to
induce General Rabi and Salvador Rios
to lay down their arms. Both these
men refused to surrender at the close
of the last war and the Cubans be-
lieve them incorruptible. Before leav-
ing Havana on Monday General Blan-
co. it is known, drew from the treas
ury $780,
General Blanco received news that an
American warship would be ordered to
Havana, while at BatabOno, but did
not delay sailing for the east. Yester-
day he was in Jucaro inspecting the
trocha, and today he went on to Man
Zanillo. He is expected to return at
the end of the week.

ARID LANDS
Governor r. A. Richards of Wyoming
next spoke on The Cession Of the Arid
Public Lands to the States"
Governor Richards took the position
that not only the arid lands bur all
the public lands should be given to The
states. They would then, he claimed
soon be made to help pay government
expenses, and sooner be put in the
hands of actual settlers. Speaking Of
the arid lands, he said:
I have come TO the conclusion that
there is only one way for us to work out
our salvation, and that is through the
transfer oS the lands to the several
states and then make it a matter Of
patriotism o. state pride to make the
most Dossit of the donation. The
only objection which ever has been
urged is not based on facts, but on a

TIMBER LANDS.

Continuing, he said: Every arid
state ought TO control its timber lands.
The states now control the streams
which rise therein; they ought to be
given the opportunity to protect and
preserve the fountains which feed these
streams. If we are to judge the future
by the past, the continued control of
the timber lands by the general govern
ment means the continuation of tn eir
spoilation and destruction. Every re-
serve thus far made has simply resulted
in stopping mining, preventing the con-
struction of roads, the building of res
ervoirs or bitches, in laying an embargo
on all development and in doing moth
ing whatever to protect the fol ests
from fire, the chief agent of their de-
struction.
IF 4 is the desire Of the ariG states
to secure a class of settlers who will
engage in agriculture. it is necessary
that state aid in some form should he
afforded them. Reservoirs should be
constructed and maintained by the
state and the waters distributed under
state supervision.

UNMITIGATED FAILURE
The truth is that the administration
of the general land Office in the dis
posal OF arid lands and in its neglect
TO do anything for the conservation Of
the water has been an unmitigated
failure. Two bills for the cession Of
the lands have been introduced in the
present congress. one by Congressman
Shafroth of Colorado, and one by Con-
gresham Hartman of Montana. The
present commissioner of the general
land office opposes both these bills, and
If his reports are any indication he Will
oppose any measure providing for the
transfer of these lands to the sta'es."
Governor Richards said the money re-
ceived from the sale of public lands
had been very largely used in states
other thar those in which the lands
were situated, TO the advantage of the
older Al the expense of the younger
states,

Nt.. lfa
The bicycle, in one phase or another
Of its career, u just now engaging the
attention Of many legal authorities, and
before long we shall have precedents
enough established to settle every BIZ
cycle case before IL goes ON trial. But
q week or two ago it was decided that
minors could not be held to installment
contracts, and now comes q decision to
the effect that beginners injured in rid
ing academies cannot recover damages
therefor when the instructors have ex-
ercised reasonable care in the perform
ance Of their duties.
Justice Scott, in trial term Of the
New York supreme court recently DIS
missed, at the close of the evidence on
both sides, an action brought by Flor
ence Hass against Sidney Bowman to
recover $4,000 for injuries alleged to
be due TO the negligence of an employe
of the defendant in teaching her how
to ride bicycle. In October, 1898, Mrs.
, IIass went to the defendants academy
to take n bicycle lesson. She was en-
abled to maintain her equilibrium dur
ing her maiden efforts to steer n wheel
by a strap held by the teacher, and.
after the manner of timid learners, she
begged him not to let go. To let go be-
ing part of the business of teaching
bicycle riding, the teacher did so when
he thought the pupil sufficiently at
home, and as a result Of his first disre-
gard of her entreaties she had bad fall
and broke the bones OF her leg. The ac-
ton was tried on the theory that the
teacher was guilty of carelessness in at
tempting to make the pupil ride alone
so soon, and in not preventing her from
falling.
The defense was denial of negli-
gcrce, and nonsuit was moved ut the
close of the case on the ground that
neither the pleading nor the evidence
disclosed n cause Of action, either on n
contract or for n tort.
Justice Scott, in refusing TO give the
ease to the jury, said: This lady went
TO this academy to learn TO ride alone,
and it was absolutely necessary that nj
some time or other the teacher should
let go Of herr" that it appeared that the
defendant had engaged competent and
careful instructors, and TO hold him
liable for 50 much of the affair as was
not an unforeseen accident would be tan
tamount to making him an insurer
against injury by falling Of every pat
ron who came voluntarily to learn in
his academy, and that no such duty was
contained in his contract to teach how
10 ride the bicycle. Several members Of
The jury intimated that had the case
gone to them as n question of negli-
gcncc in fact their finding would have
been for the defendant.
