ers Overpower Their Assailants.
Madrid, May 10.-There was serious
rioting Sunday at Linares The mob
assembled in front of the town hall
and, finding the doors locked, tore out
the windows, swarmed into the build
ing and threw everything movable
into the streets. The civil guards in
tervened and desperate struggle fol-
lowed in the building. The rioters
were finally driven out by the civil
guards, who frequently fired into the
mob. Some of the rioters procured
guns and returned the fire. Twelve
persons were killed and so wounded.
Later the mob made another attack
on the town hall and drove out the
civil guards. The rioters were well
supplied with ammunition and kept
up CALLING fire, while shouts of
Down with the taxes" were raised on
all sides, After forcing an entrance
into the town hall the rioters pillaged
the building; subsequently they cap
tured the residence of the tax collector
by assault. They demolished every
thing in sight and stole 2, 100 pesetas.
Serious disorders have occurred at
Brones, near Seville, at which place
the village priest was stoned to death.
The disorders in the Spanish prov
inces are increasing. Riots have bro
ken out at Cadiz and Alicante. Martial
law has been proclaimed in the prov
inces of Albacete and Jaen.

London, May 1O.-The Biarritz cor
respondent of the Mail, dilating upon
Spain's internal troubles, says: But
for the necessity of getting the war
credits voted in the cortes, Sagasta
would have placed the whole country
under military jurisdiction. The poor
people are unable to obtain food or
employment. The wages of the labor
ers are too small to buy food for them
oelves and their families. In the min
ing regions the miners are nearly fam
ished. Meanwhile spectators make
corners to raise the price Of food and

Nunez Was Successful.

Washington, May 1O.-Gen. Nunez'
of the Cuban army, came here Sunday
night on his return from landing a
party in Cuba. This landing was made
after conferences between Gen. Nunez,
Gen. Miles and Senor Quesada, the Gu
ban delegate, about two weeks ago,
and was for the purpose of opening up
communications with Gems. Garcia and
Gomez. After conference with Mr..
Queseda, Gen. Nunez left for New
York, where he will report to Presi-
dent Palma. The results of his trip
are guarded with much care by the
Cuban officials. 1t is said, however,
that his party found no difficulty in es-
tablishing communication with the
Cuban commander in the field.

Secretary Gage Declares that the People
Would Not Subscribe for Even S10O,OOO,-
900 of a War Loan.
Washington, May THE testimony
of Secretary Gage as to the condition
of the treasury and it's requirements in
order to meet the monetary demands
of the war; as made before the senate
committee on finance, was given to the
public yesterday. The secretary stated
on April 80 was $179, S32, 472, but from
this it was, he said, necessary to de-
duct the S5O,OOO,OoO appropriated for
the national defense. He estimated
that when the deficiencies in the war
and navy departments were met there
would be an available balance of SOL
900, 900. The treasurer estimates that
he must have $50, 900, 900 for working
balance from day to day. This would
leave now only 500, 100000 of available
net cash in the treasury.
Mr.. Gage stated at the time that his
| testimony was given that none of the
volunteer forces had become tax upon
the government, but that the entire
125, 900 men would have to be taken
care of within month. The best es-
innate placed the extraordinary eX-
penses for war and navy departments
at $52, 900, 900 up to July l next, in adj
dition to the $50, 1000, 900 voted for ma
tional defense. He thought that from
$40, 900, 900 to $50, 900, 900 in addition to
the ordinary revenues would have to
be realized between now and July to
preserve the gold reserve intact.
Without this extra fund he thought
| the reserve would be reduced to the
extent of $50, 100000, leaving in the
treasury only $40, 100000 at the end OF
the fiscal year. Mr.. Gage said he
knew of no other method for raising
this extra money except by taxation OIL
the sale of bonds.
Mr.. Gage said it would be impossible
to place as much as 500, 900, 900 of the
loan among individuals and in small
sums. Explaining his reason for this
opinion, he said:
"Our people are very different from
the French people, in whose country
there are no savings banks. In oul
country there are 5000, 900 people who
have money in savings banks, at a gen
eral average interest of per cent. The
money is available to them at any mo
ment. The temptation to invest in
per cent bonds and disturb their little
balances in the savings banks is no

Three workmen Killed in a Mine.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 6.-The Hal
stead mine of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western Co. at Duryea was
the scene of an accident last evening
which cost John Monohan, Stephen
Jenkins and John Titus their lives.
The men were repairing the lining OF
the shaft, which had been damaged by
cave-in. Some heavy timbers were
being lowered into the shaft when the
rope which was attached to them
slipped off and the timbers struck the
platform upon which the three work
men were standing with great force,
demolishing it and precipitating the
men to the bottom of the shaft.

WAS A GOOD SHOT.
Gunboat Demolishes a Spanish
Blockhouse.
An Expedition Conveying Ammunition and
Rifles to Insurgents is Met by Spanish
Soldiers and a Lively Fight En-
sues, Resulting In the Utter
Rout of the Dons.

New York, May 6.-The Mail and
Express Key West correspondent ca
bles the following account of the land
ing of small expedition from the tug
Leyden in Cuba: The tug left Key
West Monday afternoon. Wednesday
morning her men made the first at
tempt to land an interpreter to confer
with a party of Cuban insurgents who
were waiting on the beach near Mariel.
While this conversation was being held
the people of the Leyden discovered
about so Spanish cavalrymen coming
down from hill toward the shore, as
if accommodating.
The Leyden signalled danger to the
insurgents and the latter took to the
bushes. Up to that time eight cases of
Winchester rifles had been landed.
Seeing the cavalrymen, the Leyden's
boat returned alongside, lying about a
quarter of mile off shore. The cav
alrymen leveled rifles at the tug, but
hesitated about firing. The insurgents
in the meantime had opened fire, driv-
ing the cavalry back up the hill, the
latter firing as they fled.
The cavalry soon returned with rein
forcements. They paid no attention
to the insurgents, but began sharp
fusillade at the tug. Bullets flew
around the tug so fast that the lookout
aft came down.
The Leyden, seeing no chance to land
the ammunition just then, picked up
the men she had landed and steamed
back to the flagship off Havana, re-
porting it would be impossible to land
the cargo unless protected The gun
boat Wilmington was Immediately or
dered to help the Leyden. On return
ing to the landing point, the Whining
ton held off shore about mile and a
half, the Leyden going in close to the
beach. The tug was signalled by the
insurgents that the coast was clear.
Manned by four men, boat then left
the Leyden with ammunition and two
large boxes of dynamite. When a
short distance from the beach a man
aloft on the Leyden sang out that the
cavalry were coming down to the beach
again in strong force.
The Lcyden then signalled the Will
mington and the latter came closer to
shore and fred four shots from her
four-inch rapid-fre gun. The cavalry
retreated and the boats cargo was
landed. While waiting to attack the
cavalrymen the Wilmington fred at
blockhouse further down the beach.
There were some so Spanish regulars
sitting on top of this blockhouse watch
ing the Leyden and the insurgents.
The Wilmington's first shot went
wild. The twelfth and last shot was
bull'seye. When the smoke cleared
away the blockhouse, the men and all
had disappeared as though swallowed
up. The Spanish colors that had foated
from the house were seen high up in a
tree, where a shot had driven them.
The Leyden and Wilmington returned
to the flagship and the former then
came here. There are dozens of holes
in the tugs smokestack from the cav
alrymens bullets. None of the Amer
leans or Cubans of the expedition were
killed or wounded.

mously agreed to directing the secre-
tary of the navy to present to Commo-
dore Dewey sword of honor and to
have struck, in commemoration of the
battle of Manila, bronze medal for

ticipated in the fight. The resolution
appropriates $4,000 to enable the sec
retary to carry its provisions into effect.

ciate officers and men was followed
quickly with a unanimous vote, and

An English paper records a peculiar
decision in the suit of a usurer against
a Door woman. The man had lent the
woman money in such way that 1t
was to be paid in installments, and will
monthly usurious interest. The wom-
an was unable to pay the amount due.
The judge satisfied himself that the
woman was honest and honorable, and
that what she had already paid in In
stallments would cover the original
loan and a reasonable interest.
'tWill you accept five pounds in dis
charge?" asked the judge to the plain
tiff; "you will then have had ten pei
cent. on the loan"
The plaintiff would accept nothing
less than the full amount to which the
law entitled him.
''Then," said the judge, although
can not invalidate the agreement,
can make an order which, / think, will
fit the case. l give judgment for the
full amount, to be paid at the rate OF
sixpence month.
At this rate of payment, the usurel
would be seventy-five years in getting
his money
