SERIOUS
RIOTING
Took Place In Havana When
the News Of Gen. Gar
cia's Death Arrived.
CAUSED BY CUBANS|
Who Insisted That All Places
Of Public Amusement
Be Closed Out Of
Respect.

HAVANA, Dec. 13.-When the new
of the death of General Garcia spread
in Havana it resulted in creating 9
collision between Cubsns and Spanish
soldiers and serious rioting ensued.
The trouble was brought about by
Cuban soldiers who insisted on al
places OF public amusdment closing il
honor of the dead patriot general.
| They partially succeeded in carrying
out their purpose butwhen ans attempt
was made to close the Tucson theater
trouble resulted.
A number of Spanish Officers were
| there in the audience and these fatty
refused to allow the house to be closed
Captain Allegrette, q captain of the
Cubans, was thrown out.by the police
and Spanish officer struck him across
the face with his sword.
The street fight then became gen.
eral. Blows were struck on both
sides and when q shot was fired by
some unknown person panic ensued.
Many weapons were discharged in
rapid succession and q Frenchman
named Arturo Fisel was struck by
stray bullet and perhaps mortally
wounded.
The.Cubans retreated as soon as the
firing became general and one of them,
Jesus Salomongo. bit the dust while re-
treating. Another Cuban who was
badly frightened broke into the room
occupied by Lieutenant Fitzhugh Lee
and besought him for protection.
The Spanish officers had completely
routed the Cubans and were in pursuit
when General Greene made his ap-
sand commanded them to
desist They Ssaluted and retired.
TheiEfght occurred in and around
the Hotel Inglaterra, occupied by
American officers and their wives. In
addition to those whose names were
already mentioned two Cubans were
killed outright and q third wounded.
Fourteen other wounded men were
picked up.
After the riot had somewhat subsid-
60 General Greene was surrounded by q
surg lngi mass OF Cubans, who implored
him to 'protect them. He-attempted
to allay their fears but told them that
the Spanish executive was the only
recognized authority and sent the
young American officers to General |
Castellanos requesting him to preserve
order.
The Spanish general ordered out a |
large body of troops and stationed |
Them in the public squares and streets. |
The cafes we're closed and crowds in |
the streets dispersed.
WASHINGTON. Dec 13.-A long dis
pate h giving an account os the trouble |
between Cubans and Spsniards in Ha-
7ana has reached the war department.
len. Corbin said it agreed substantial
y with the press reports. The presi-
lent and Secretary Alger discussed the
lispatch.
The Spaniards are still in control of
fairs, the United States troops being
here as matter OF ssufferance, aud
he former will be held responsible for
7hatever may occur.
The effect of such . riot is to hasten
he absolute occupation of Havana by
his government.

SPEAKS VERY PLAINLY
Concerning;the Shortcomings
Of the Secretary Of War
And the Adjutant
General.

WASHINGTON, Dec. .13.-Gen. Miles's
testimony before the house committee
on military affairs has created much
talk in military and official circles. he
renewed his attack on Secretary Alger
but in such a manner that 1t did not
place him in the position of criticising
his superior.
1t was just before the hearing closed
that Gen. Miles got an opportunity to
give uttersnce to the thoughts which
had been locked in his breast for many
months. 1t came quietly, and he said
it as comely as if simply making q re-
ply to an impersonsl question while
among q party Of friends.
The question was: "Do you not
last war could have been avoided If
the secretary of war had consulted
more freely the heads of the army and
had confined his attention principally
to his ministerial functions as the
administrative head of the depart
ment?"
"I certainly do" General Miles re-
piled.
He said he considered it impossible |
for any civilian to drop into the seat of |
minister of war with q proper under |
standing of the tactics and appliances
of war which officers of the army had
spent all their lives in studying. 1t is
too much to expect.
Then, without changing counten-
ance, he proceeded to pay his respects
to Adjutant General Corbin. 1t would |
have been perfectly simple, he said, If
the secretary at the outbreak of the
war did not like the gen.
e-al in command of the army
to pass him by and take the next Of
fcer in rank by placing the command
ing officer at home on waiting orders,
then send him home on waiting orders,
and so on, down the line until he found
q man whom he believed to be the pro-
per man for the place.
But to pass over the heads of COM
officers and go go far down
the line as to pick out subordinate.
simply because he was favorite and
had some political influence, could not
De tolerated.
81 don't think that is according to
he constitution" he said.
General Miles then proceeded to
make plea for the commanding officer
VI the army. Leaving himself out of ,
he question, for he was ready to retire
omorrow If congress thought fit, he ,
lid desire that the commanding ,
'fficer of the army should bave the full /
.rade OF general and that there should
'e two lieutenant generals, in order
hat Generals Brooke and Merritt
ould be rewarded according to their !
eserts. He did not mention Shafter,
because Shafter lis only a
general in the regular army
nd major general of volunteers. Z
He said both Brooke and Merritt had 9
isplsyed marked ability in their oper- n
tions. He appealed to General Scho-
eld, who later sustained him in every
hing he said, If the organization of r.
ne confederate army was not superior u
, that of the federal army.
Gen. :Schofieid indorsed all that had
cen said regarding the grade OF the
igher officers of the army. He said F
hancock, Meade, and Thomas were en-
tied to have the rank of lieutenant
enerals, and died of broken hearts d,
ecause they did not attain that grade, h
ut he had been more fortunate than d,
ley were.

The Smallpox Situation.

Is any necessity for removing.

since our statement of yesterday and
that is child of Juan Hernandez near
the corner of Ninth and Oregon streets
The matter is now we'll in hand DR..
Yandell is on his mettle and the board
OF health will stand no more foolish
ness. They have learned that the
public look to them to guard the citv
from An epidemic of any kind and they
will not let another point slip if they
Gang avoid it by alertness.
some OF the members candidly state
That they did not understand the true
situation and thought the HERALD was
exaggersting but they are now ready
to com mend its activity in bringing
the matter to the attention of the pub
Ito. They say that they did not be-
neve than there were any
cases being suppressed but the house
to house canvass had shown to them
over score of suppressed cases.
Again the HERALD wishes to assure
its readers that with proper precau-
tlon there is no danger in the Amer
lean part OF the city. Chihuahuita
should be given q wide birth by per-
sons who are not immune and people
who have Mexican servants who live

DOWN THE VALLEY.
DR.. Knoblauch, city physician of
sleta, was In the city this, morning
and states that he is not aware of but
three cases in that community and
they are in the pest house there. He
says that these cases came from San
Jose and that no cases have. originated
IN the stOwn of Ysleta. He further
these have been only eight
cases in his jurisdiction in the past
Two months.
The doctor is on the trail of a man
lamed LucerO at San Jose whom he |
wishes to prosecute for sending small |
oox scales through the mail. Some
lime ago he qusrantined Lucero's
smily and he says it made Lucero
-ery angry. A few days ago he re-
elved an anonymous letter
through the mail from San Jose
which enclosed number of small pox
Gales and from the wording Of the let
er and other circumstantial evidence
e thinks Lucero is the man who mail
d the letter. This is certainly heinous
fense and whoever the perpetrator
1sy be severe punishment should be
inflicted when the guilty party is locat-
d.

so that the local printers and book

From Old Sc0fleld.

The Hoffman Smelling and Refining
Company have been hauling through
Crystal a number Of loads OF smelling
machinery, the past few weeks, which
will be placed IN position at the Marble
plant. The other day a furnace was
taken down which is specially designed
to treat lead ores. Thereby hangs a tale.
Eighteen years ago, when ScofieId was
in the throes Of premature boom, the
Scofield Milling a. Smelling Company
hoated its stock upon the market, and
among other machinery brought IN was
this smelter. which employs what is to-
day one of the most approved methods
for treating the lead ores Of the district.
The machinery was never set up, and
laying in storage even since, is in good
order, after nearly two decades Of times
relentless hand resting upon the shatter-
ed hopes of those who originally invested
in the enterprise.

Sunday Dinner on Mineral Point.

Sunday eighteen people accepted the
invitation of n. W. Ward to visit the
Burt lode on Mineral Point. A portion
Of the party went in the early morning,
and the rest followed later, reaching the
mine about two o'clock. Dinner was the
first event Of interest, and chef Ross
Fulton did himself great credit in pre-
pairing delicious lot of good things to
tempt the appetite and please the taste
Of the guests. The altitude had its ef
feet in cultlvating fondness for pickles
and strawberries and cream.
After dinner the members OF the party
visited the workings Of what promises to
be one Of the big shippers Of the camp
within a short time. The upper and
lower tunnels were both visited and ex-
amined. The trip was heartily enjoyed
and the returning was prolonged until
almost dark Among those who visited
the mine were Mesdames Ward, OBryan
and Eaton, Misses Roddan and Freeman,
Messrs Fitch, Holgate, Hodges and

Tom Clark and Ernest Mohnson have

under way. They expect to be shipping
ore IN the near future
At the Laura, on Meadow Mountain,
Messrs Bardine, Reed & Rummel have a
streak several inches in width OF splen-
did copper ore, which will also carry
good silver values, the VEN being several
feet in width.
At the Daisy some rich copper ore has
been uncovered lately. and it is looking
very promising indeed. The indications
are good for an ore body at no great dis
tance and this mine will doubtless soon
be able to begin steady shipments.
Power drills were put on at the Inez
this week, to push development, in work
being done by Wright & Holgate, under
contract. Work is being vigorously
prosecuted, and no time will be lost in
uncovering the hidden treasure stored
away in the breast of old Sheep Noun
tain.
F. d. McGlothlin is working on the

Elko section for eleven years and believes
that portion of the district will show
big mines some of these days.
The writer visited the Burt lode on
Mineral Point, Sunday, where surprising
rapidity is being made with work in the
two tunnels. The upper tunnel is being
driven in on a strong contact, where the
ore streak is some four or five feet in
width. about two feet Of which is copper
and lead Of good concentrating ore. Al
a level some two hundred feet lower
down another tunnel is being run into a
cross vein, where the mineralized streak
is about twenty inches wide, and shows
steady improvement. The upper tunne
is just well under way. while the lowel
tunnel is in some thirty odd feet. The
force Of eight men, working on two shifts
has accomplished an immense amount o
work in the month since active operations
begun.
