WASHINGTON, June l6.-The welcome
news came to the navy department dur.
ing the afternoon that the little band
Of American marines who had planted
tho flag ON Crest Hill, Guantanamo.
and were defending it night and day
against heavy odds, were not only safe.
but were strongly reinforced by 1900

enough to more than hold their own.
It was disclosed In dispatch from Ad.

lief to naval officers. The carly reports
had indicated that the marines were
surrounded, and it was feared that they
might be compelled to return to tho

and naval officials give the fullest
credit to the timeliness Of this Cuban
cooperation. The sdmiral's dispatch
stated that tho condition Of the marines
was ''enttrely satisfactory" " hioh a.
surance, although brief, was enough to
relieve officials here Of the fears they
had entertained. But probably the
most significant feature Of the ad.

that the Cuban general, Rabbi, had
occupied Acerraderos, only eight miles
from Santiago, and practically suburb
of that Spanish stronghold. It was the
execution Of plan arranged in Wash.

a like number of hours. At o'clock
Thomas Dougherty requested the al

rest of John and Peter Higgins on the
charge of assault and battery, and an
other warrant charging Peter Higgins
with selling liquor without a license.
One hour later Special officer Ruddy
brought the defendants before the
magistrate for hearings, and in his tes-
timony Dougherty stated that Peter
Higgins conducted a saloon and Tues
day evening he was in Higgins place
drinking when John Higgins suggested
that the trio shake dice" for drinks
and Immediately a game was COM
menced. Within short time a dis
pute began, each man averring that
he was the winner of the game. When
Dougherty concluded his testimony,
John Higgins arose and said to the al
derman: "Your honor, the game was
on Dougherty, for on the first shake
Peter threw three aces and went out,
and it was leg and leg between Dough-
erty and me, and on the last shake I
had four aces and king, and you
know, your honor, that it takes five
aces to beat that" THAT will do"
shouted the alderman.
John Higgins was held in $500 bail
on the assault and battery charge, and
his brother, Peter, was discharged, but
Peter was held in $500 bail for selling
liquor without a license.
Then warrant was made out for
Dougherty, who was charged by Peter
whit threatening to kill him, and he
was held in $500 bail. The three men
furnished bail in their respective cases.
