Use of Rebate Tickets,

The passenger agents of the various East

putting the rebate ticket system into effect

Atlantic and the Canada Eastern roads have
refused to honor these tickets for points on
their lines, but the agents who have roads
that have entered into the agreement will
issue tickets to those points, Notwithstanding

GRIFFIN HALSTEAD HURT.
Son of Murat Halstead and n Speedy
Racing Cyclist.

WASHINGTON. July 2-Grif1n Halstead
one of the speediest racing cyclists in the
district, met with serious accident while
training at International park. Halstead. who
is at present riding in magnificent form, and
who has won numerous races in this section
was making an attempt to lower the quarter
mile paced record, when the accident occurred
1t appears that a triplet which was pacing
him., swung out too far on the first bank, and
accidentally crowded Halstead with terrific
force into the fence at the turn. Halstead
struck the railing head down, and was hurled
backward on the embankment. 1t was found
that Halstead's front teeth were all broken
off, his gums cut long cash in his chin,
arms. legs and back severely lacerated and
bruised and 1t is very doubtful whether Hal
stead will ever race again.
Halstead is son Of Hon. Murat Halstead.
and is chief page in the house of repre-
sentatives, position he has held for several
years.

NEW YORK, July 1.-Several
months ago scientists were astonished
to hear of the invention of a system
OF telegraphing in which wires were
dispensed with. To most people 1t
sounded too incredible to be accepted
seriously, and as the experiments had
not at that time reached a stage where
doubters could be made to see and be-
iieve, the matter was temporarily for
gotten. The experiments have gone ON

At this time of the year, when the
busy season of the bicycle thief is at
hand, all riders should take the pre-
caution Of writing down the number Of
their wheels in some memorandum
book where they could always find 1t
quickly. The number is one Of the
most important points to be considered
in identifying a stolen wheel, but it is
safe to say that not one rider in ten
could give the number Of his machine

the city is captured by the Americans
Capt. Gen. Blanco admits that
the situation is desperate. He rec
ognizes, it is pointed out, his in
ability to control his troops, goad-
ed by hunger, much longer, and he
is reported to have said that he will
never leave Havana alive, as he is
prepared to take his own life when
the outbreak occurs.
Senior Cabin Rio, a prominent
Spanish merchant, had five thous-
and bags Of flour hidden at Guenia-
dos, suburb of Havana, and was
retailing it to the public. Gen.
ArolaZ, the military governor of
Havana, was informed that Senior
Cabins trucks had traces Of fresh
flour upon them, and he caused the
vehicles to be follows.
The store being thus disclosed, it
was seized and distributed among
the ravenOuS soldiers.
Referring to the strength Of the
Spanish forces, the Briton says
there are 10000 men under arms
at Havana, but that the great ma
jority of them are ready to surren-
der rather than die of hunger.
In conclusion the gentleman says
he credits the report that the gun
ners at Moro Castle and at other
Spanish batteries were taken from
foreign warships and he says the
consuls, including Mr.. Gollan, the
British representative, are strong
Spanish sympathizers. British Vice
Consul Arastegoi, he continues, is a
Spaniard by birth, and reporter
for La Lucha, the mouthpiece of the
government Mr.. Gollan, the Brit
ish consul general, he further re-
marks, gave dinner on the
Queens birthday at which all the
guests were Spanish and three
British subject, prominent socially
and financially at Havana, were, it
is alleged, relegated by Mr. Gollan's
orders to the forecastle of the Tai
bot when she left Havana because
they were Cuban sympathizers.
1t is sid that as a result of the
energetic protests of the English
men to the British foreign office and
to the governor of Jamaica, the Tai
bot will shortly return to Havana
with Mr.. Gollan's successor.
