ROBINSON AND WHIGHAM.
Still Confined in q Spanish Prison
in Cuba.

HAVANA, May 31-1O p. m-(Copy-
| right, 1898, by the Associated Press.)-
Mr.. knight, the correspondent of the
London Times who is imprisoned in
Cabanas Fortress, says he intended to
land at Havana some time ago when
he came on board the American vessel
which brought the first proposition for
an exchange Of prisoners. Subsequent
ly, in company with Mr. Book, a Ger
man merchant, he tried to reach Ha-
yana on board the German ship Po-
laria. Disappointed in this, he says he
finally bought a boat, and was towed
by an American dispatch boat to a
point about eight miles off the coast
when he was lowered and started for
shore. Owing to the strong surf, his
small boat was upset, but he managed
| @ right her. and eventually succeeded
reaching shore in about twenty-eight
.iours. The Spanish forces captured
him near Jaruco, Havana province. He
will probably be soon set at liberty and
treated with great consideration.
On Saturday. May 2Sth, two persons
landed at Matanzas who gave the names
of Philip Robinson and H. J. Whigham,
claiming to be Englishmen. According
to their statement, they left Key West
of Cardenas on Wednesday, May 25th.
On the 2Sth Of May, in the morning,
they approached Matanzas, where no
American warship was in sight. A
small boat was lowered, and in 1t they
effected a landing near Matanzas har-
Dor. They carried four British flags
and one white flag when they were
taken, as we'll as the oars of the boat
which brought them ashore
About midnight on Saturday they
were arrested at the Louvre Hotel and
taken to San Severanio Castle, where
they will be put trial, as it is be-
lieved they are American spies. On
Sunday the supposed spies were
brought here to Cabanas Fortress
CORRESPONDENT 2 WARNED TO
KEEP AWAY.
KEY WEST F'la.), May 31-(6 p. m. }
w. H. j. Taylor, the British Consul
here, to-day received a telegram from
Mr.. Gollan, British Consul at Havana,
in the following terms:
please warn British correspondents
| of newspapers who may be in Key West
with the intention of coming to Cuba
to avoid attempting to do so, and es-
pecially by the means adopted by
knight, Robinson and Whigham, all Of
whom We're arrested and are now in
prison. It is needless to say that this
recommendation applies with still
greater stringency to correspondents
who are American citizens. Give all
possible publicity to this"

and the miscalculation of fraction of
would have slaughtered the men in
the boats. But there came mo-
ment's pause in the awful believing
from the ships, and that moment was
thte fatal one; snap, snap, crash from
hundred different points came the fire
from the Spanish rifles. and eight brave
men sank down in the boats. Two
were dead and six wounded.
But the Spaniards were too late. Al
ready one cable had been hauled up,
and $50 feet cut out of it. This was
the cable that ran to Batanabo and
connected with Havana. The heavy
cables had to be hauled up across the
small boats. and then by slow degrees
the tough steel wires were cracked on
with chisels and saws.
After the volley had been fired by
the Spanish the men transferred the
dead and wounded to another boat,
and began looking for the other cable
which ran to Santiago. This was soon
found, and again under the canopy OF
shot and shells from the ships worked
bravely on until a section of eight feet
had been taken from that one. After
this another smaller cable running TO
some local point east was cut, and
Captain General Blancos last line OF
communication with the world was ap-
parently severed.
When our ships first opened fire on
the shore it was the intention to al
low the lighthouse to remain standing,
but when the Spaniards poured thelI
fire in on the boats, the Marblehead
decided that a large number of Span
iards had came from the lighthouse.
"Cut it down." shouted the Comman-
der from the bridge, and the Marble
heads guns again thundered. The
Workmanship was marvellous. First
the small hut. the base of the tower,
was literally torn to atoms, and then
like an axman cutting down a tree, one
of the great guns of the ship, with
shot after shot, bit off the great tow
er This was done at a range OF l.
600 yards, with a heavy sea rolling.
1t was just Z o'clock in the morn
ing when the small boats were put
off, and it was 1915 a. m. when the
boats were again hauled up. For
nearly three hours these men worked
under the very shadow of death with
out f1inching 1t is said the men in
our navy are untried. That is true,
but this is how they conduct them
selves when the trial comes. They are
veterans without service.

CUBAN INVASION.
An Expedition Of Nearly Four
Hundred Men Landed.

KEY WEST, May 31.-Nearly 400
men, with a pack train and a large
quantity of arms and ammunition, sail
ed for Cuba on the Plant Line steamer
Florida on the night Of May 21st, and
succeeded in landing.
The War Department absolutely for
bids correspondents telegraphing the
name of the landing place of General
Lacret's expedition, which, 1t was un-
derstood this afternoon, was at point
about twenty-fiy miles east of Ha-
vana- Later information raises strong g
presumption that the landing was eff
fected as originally planned, not far
from Guantanamo, Province of Santi-
ago de Cuba.
These men and the equipment con-
stituted an expedition able to operate
independently and to defend itself
against any body Of Spanish troops
which might oppose it. The expedition
was under the command Of Colonel Jose
Lacret, formerly insurgent commander
in Matanzas Province. He assumed
the direction of affairs Immediately on
the landing of the expedition Until

The natty young man looked at the
aged banker.
I'm afraid you do not remember
me-" he said, with smile
The banker squirmed uneasily Old
recollections were tugging at his mem
ory strings.
Il am sorry to say that 1 do not fully
recall you." he hesitatingly replied
Let me refresh your memory" said
the young man. "On the 7th day Of
September, 1895. you kicked me
through that doorway and down the
outside stairs"
The aged banker turned pale.
"I-I-remember, "he stammered.
Yes" said the young man. II
thought you would recall it, l had
asked for your daughters hand. You
harshly repulsed me- You called me a
designing pauper You jumped on me
and flung me out. Do you remember
those pleasant details?"
Yes" groaned the banker, as he
looked at the card the youth had just
handed him
'Of course you do,' said. the young
man. You are not as senile as you
look. 1 see you recognize the name on
the card. You know it is that of the
smartest operator on the street. Yes,
sir, the pauper target for your boots is
now. treble millionaire. In this little
valise / have securities to the value OF
100000. By the way, is the rumor
true that your bank is toppling?"
1T is too true" groaned the banker.
And would 100000 help you"-
yes, yes" cried the aged man.
And how is your lovely daughter?"
''She is WE'LL" shouted the banker
And unmarried?"
Still unmarried" shrieked the old
man.
Then said the youth as he calmly
picked up his handbag, give her my
compliments and tell her to expect
cards Of invitation for my approaching
marriage with the Harlem heiress, Miss
Van Damn. That's all, old boy. Good
day. No, you needn't show me out
I-ha, ha, know the way!"
He was gone with the handbag, says
the narrator, in a Chicago paper, and
the banker fell back on the velvet fau-
teuil and cursed his unfortunate quick
ness Of foot.

In the landing Of the expedition the
United States army was represented by
Captain ]. A. Dorst and Tomas Es-
trada Palma was represented by J. E..
Car'taya, who has been landing and en-
gagged in nearly every filibustering ex-
pedition for more than year Messrs.
Castillo, Cartaya and Dorst will return
to Key West. General Julio Sanguilly,
on the way to report to General Maxi
mo Gomez, was also on the boat.
This is the most powerful anti Span
ish expedition ever sent to Cuba. About
300 of the men are Cubans. The others
are Americans. The engineer corps of
the expedition was composed entirely
of Americans under Aurelian Ladd, and
with the party are Americans. The men
were dressed in canvas uniforms fur
nished by the United States Govern
ment and the Commissary Department
has rations enough to last fifteen days
after the landing. The pack train con-
sisted Of seventy-five mules and twen-
ty-five horses. The expedition carried
1000 rifles and 100000 rounds Of am
munition for General Calixto Garcia.
The expedition is composed of hardy
young fellows who looked fit for any
! thing.
General Sanguilly's return to Cuba is
a remarkable incident in his extraordi-
nary career. His gallant services in
the ten years war: his arrest in Ha-
vana at the beginning Of the present
insurrection; his sentence of death and
his release at the intercession of Secre-
tary Sherman on a promise to remain
outside of Cuba, has made him con-
spicuous American. About six months
ago General Gomez ordered him to re-
port for duty, but he did not obey. Now
he is going to humble himself before
''the old man." and Cubans say that
General Gomez is likely to receive him
gruffiy, take away his sword, and or
der him to fight in the ranks. General
Gomez is a stickler for obedience
General Enrique Collasso, through the
failure of the Junta to land him in
Cuba after the death of General An
tonic Maceo, was unable to take the
command to which he had been as
signed. When he did reach Cuba later
with an important expedition, General
Gomez reduced him to the rank of Colo
mel as a punishment for his failure to
obey the previous order. This actior

event OF repentance at the last mo-
ment he instantly stops the marriage
rites. The wedding breakfast is both
primitive and satisfying. 1t consists
of cattle or. goats slaughtered for the
OCCASION and large calabashes Of ''uty-
wala," or Kafflr beer, an intoxicant
brewed from grain resembling mill
let. On the coast a vile concoction OF
treacle and water called ''isityimiyana"
is in great request.
When the marriage is announced, It
produces a flutter in the neighboring
kraals and the braves of any tribe not

tile demonstration, known subsequent
ly to the avenging law as a faction

proach the scene of the ceremony

and when the ceremony is at a most
interesting point challenge the able
bodied guests to come forth and skir-
mish. Several Of the latter, who
have drunk of the ''utywala" not wise
ly but too well, sally forth to avenge
the insult, and amid rival jeers and
taunts do their level best to break
each others heads. Blows are given
and taken, but the average kaffir's
head is as cast steel. The women, too.
are not behindhand, and urge on the
combatants with strong hints as to
their degeneracy from the days of yore,
and in one case, when several of their
injured foes tried to rise, felled them
to the ground with fiat stones When
the intruders are driven off, the wound

The bluff and the hilltop.
The little flotilla that did the hazard
Gus work consisted of two small launch
es and half a dozen ordinary rowboats..
The launches We're armed with machine
guns, and were designed to do what
they could in protecting the men in the
small boats as they worked, and tow
them back to the ships in case the men
should be so badly disabled as to be
unable to use the oars.
With steady nerves and strong arms
the sailors pulled close to the shore
cable house. They went until they
could see the faces of the Spanish SOL
dierS peering out from behind the build
ings and out of the rifle pits. They
knew it was only a matter of minutes
when fire would be opened upon them,
but the regular swing of, the oars did
not falter. AT last point within lOO
feet of the cable house was reached.
They We're within 200 feet of the rifle
pits, where the Spaniards were lying
ready to open fire upon the boats.
Lieutenant Winslow stood up in the
boat and gave the command to throw
out the anchor and begin graphing for
the cable. The water was clear as
glass. The morning sunlight penetrat-
ed it and every object upon the bottom
was clearly seen. Calmly, as if troll
ing for fish, the men bent. over the
boats and began to work with the grap-
pling hooks.
All this time the men on the Nash
Vile, Marblehead and Window stood
at their guns ready to rain shot and
shell upon the shore the moment a puff
OF smoke was seen to come from the
rifle pits. The men in the boats work
ed on steadily and in silence. At last
one of the graphing hooks caught
something, and one of the sailors soon
brought the cable into view. Then
came the first shot. 1t was just a
flash, a sharp snap, singing over the
heads of the sailors and a splash in the
water beyond. There was no white puff
from the depot. The Spaniards We're
using smokeless powder. 1t was the
signal for the opening of deadly fire
upon the men in the boats. 1t was
promptly answered by the guns on the
ships out in the bay A hurricane Of
shells shrieked and hissed above the
heads of the sailors in the boats, and
tore to fragments the earth where the
Spaniards were crouching and hiding.
Again and again the guns roared from
the ships. Again and again the great
clouds of dust and debris flew skyward
on the shore. Another mighty crash
from the Nashville, and the cable house
flew into the air, torn into numberless
fragments Another crash from the
Marblehead, and the blockhouse was in
ruins.
4 Then this iron storm from the sea
sswung around and swept the hillside.
1t shattered the rocks and trees. It
plowed great burrows in the soft
sand. It drove a throng of panic
stricken men scurrying to shelter. Then
it lowered again like the rays of a
mighty searchlight, and raked and rid
died the rifle pits. What marksman-
ship, 47.
The terrible fire pouring in upon the
rife pits passed only a few feet above
the sailors working in the boats. Who
but Yankee gunners could do that-who
would do it, and who but Yankee sail
fors would work on like heroes under
such a blast from the furnace of de-
Struction?,
At the time heavy sea was rolling.

A KAFFIR WEDDING.
Multiplicity Of Daughters a Sourc
Of Profit to Fathers.

OF Profit to Fathers.
Marriage among natives of South At
rica is very much a matter of s. p.,
shorn of the glamour of romance by the
fact that the bride is estimated at so
many cows or oxen by her callous and
practical father. The Kaffir patriarch
rejoices in a multiplicity Of daughters,
for they are truly the props of his old
age, and each dusky damsel taken off
his hands by an ardent suitor means an
increase to his herds, calculated with
mathematical precision, according to
the rank of the brides father For in
stance. the hereditary chief in charge
of tribe when parting with his daugh-
ter need set no bounds to his bovine
ambition, and the legend Brides are
cheap to-day" is meaningless to one Of
such exalted rank. A mere appointed
chief in charge of tribe dares not de-
mand more than twenty head of cat
tie for his daughter, but ten head is the
average payment made. The ordinary
Kaffir has three or four wives, ana
when he has been in service with his
white master sufficiently long to ac-
Quire the amount necessary to obtain
the desire of his heart, he returns to
his ancestral halls, and, after brief
courtship, makes his selection in the
| "Kaffir market" and proposes-to the
father. No presents are made to the
bridesmaids, for there are none to
present; but that much-maligned indi-
vidual the mother-in-law is duly recog-
nized by the heather, for she invariably
receives a cow from her son-in-law
elect.
Kaffir modistes receive few commits

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
Lodge Will Not Formally Offer His
Amendment to Revenue Bill.

WASHINGTON. May Ex-senator
Lodge has decided not to formally offer
his Hawaiian annexation proposition as
an amendment to the war revenue bill,
but he thinks that the final adjourn
ment Of Congress can be delayed in or
der to allow the Hawaiian question to
be disposed of this session.
Senator Morgan said to-day that it
was his intention to press his measure
providing a form of government for
territory acquired in the present war
as an amendment to the war revenue
BILL He also expressed the opinion that
the Lodge amendment for the annexa-
tion of Hawaii should be made a part
of this bill.
1T is just as much a war measure as
the subjugation Of the Spanish fleet in
Santiago Bay" he said.
