Key West, Fla, Aug. 4.-Captain Del
valley Ignacio of the insurgent forces
was brought here yesterday morning by
the gunboat Helena, which took him
aboard near Tunez de Seazo, on the
south coast of Cuba, July %. He said
that on July 9 General Gomez, under
whom he served in the Sancti Spiritus
district of the province of Santa Clara,
attacked the town of Gibora with 500
men, and. after two hours, compelled
the Spaniards to raise the white flag.
Three dynamite shells from the Syms-
Dudley gun. he says, tore big holes in
the walls Of the town, killed nine Span
iards and wounded II. One hundred and
Is prisoners were taken, and the town is
now held by. the Cubans. The Cuban
loss was one killed and three wounded.
When Capt. isnaCio left Gen. Gomez
was making plans to attack the tincha
and restore communication between
the eastern and western provinces.
The Helena, which has been on block
ade duty for nearly a month, sank a
number of harbor tugs and lighters at
Casilda last week, and sent one little
tug. the Manatee, which surrendered in
preference to being sunk, to Guantana-
mo bay.

George Herbert, was walking to Sails
bury one evening to join musical
party when he met poor man with
poorer horse that had fallen under his
load. They were both in distress, and
Mr.. Herbert pulled off his coat and
helped the man to unload his horse. He
then gave him some money and left
him. At his arriving at Salisbury his
friends wondered at his coming into
their company so soiled and discom-
posed. Unexplained the cause, and when
one remarked that he had disparaged
himself by so dirty an employment, he
answered that the thought of what he
had done would prove music to him at
midnight, and that the omission OF II

Important battle in Cuba.

Havana, Jan. 14.-It is reported that
an important engagement has taken
place between the Spaniards and the
insurgents under Gen. Rabi in the dis
trict of Manzanillo in which the in
surgents lost 800 men killed and the
Spaniards 14O men killed and wounded.
On account of the concentration of the
insurgent forces few leagues distant
from Havana, Gen. Valdarama left here
Wednesday with 500 troops to engage
the enemy. AS several chiefs of Spanish
columns have burned farms and corn
fields and have shot prisoners of war,
including sick and wounded men, Gen.
Blanco has issued a new decree prohibit
ing the destruction of all kinds of prop
erty and forbidding the shooting of
prisoners who are sick or wounded.

dragged the huge old gun toward him
and seized the sword.
Suddenly there came loud knock It
our very door and a disguised voice
growled out:

The voice sounded maudlin, as II its
owner had been drinking.
"You stay oud!" cried Dolph. "If you
don'd you Will"
A single heavy kick broke the light
latch of the door, and there stood a
man with a handkerchief tied over the
lower part of his face and his hat drawn
down TO his eyes.

and Doiph's courage gave way in the

''Sic 'em, Yack! Take i'm Yack!"
There was scratching, rushing
sound under the bed, and low, angry
snarl deepening into a growl, as the
ugly dog l despised and Dolph loved
darted forward and bounded upward
toward the man.
The stairs were directly behind the
intruder. As old Jack shot forward the
man stepped back, and the next instant
he and Jack were rolling down the steep
flight of steps together, the man yelling
out in voice that was not disguised
now:
Call him off, boys! Call off the dog!
Git out, you ugly whelp-oh, OH"
Dolph's courage rose instantly. He
jumped out of bed, laid the barrel of
the old gun across the top of the chair
on which stood the candle, and fired.
Over went the chair, the candle and

Goot boy! Goot for you, Yack!"
shouted Dolph.
BY the time we had lighted the candle
again the noise hao ceased downstairs.
but we heard running footsteps outside
and old Jack barking and snarling as he
gave chase.
Presently the dog came back with
nearly half of the skirt of mans coat
in his mouth. The old dog limped and
had three knife-cuts on him.

clapping me on the back and talking in
an hysterical manner "Oh, told you
