REFUSED THIRD PETITIOY.
Aldermen Vote Not TO Allow Dirigo Telephone

pany should be allowed to enter the

why they should be denied admittance,

Mayor Choae called the meeting to

sent.
Hon H. NJ Heath for the Dirigc

matter to the aldermen, saying that H.

public sentiment was in favor Of the
admission. as it would connect the city

pany does not ask for any competition
and merely ask for permission to entel
the city over the route laid out, anG
stop at Haymarket square. There
would be no local exchange. Until TIL,
city of Lewiston grants the company
permission to enter that city, there
would be no move made by the com,
pany to extend its line out of the city
to the south.
Leslie c. Cornish. Esq, appeared fol
the New England Telephone Co
against granting the rival line permits
sion to enter the city. He said the
company was a small one, having only
about $4,000 paid in, and they woulc
either sell out their franchise, or them

make money enough to pay the run

was that there are already enough

DECOY FLAGS.
SpanIards at NeuVitas Used the Emblem of
the Red Cross to Deceive an American
Gunboat, but Lost the Game In the End.

Spaniards at Neuvitas Used the Emblem of
the Red Cross to Deceive an American
GunbOat, but Lost the Game in the End.
Key West, Aug. 5.-No confirmation
has been received of the report that
Neuvitas, the chief port of the prov
ince of Puerto Principe, has been
evacuated by the Spaniards after a
bombardment by American warships.
The auxiliary cruiser Badger, which
captured three prizes at Neuvitas on
July 26, arrived here yesterday. Capt.
Snow said that at the time of his de-
parture all but about 1900 Spanish
troops had left the city and general
evacuation was expected, but the place
was still held oy the enemy and there
had been nothing in the nature of an
attack. The large gunboat Pizarro
and two armed tugs were in the har-
Dor.
The Badger was covering the block
ade station at Neuvitas on July 26
when one of the Spanish boats slipped
to the mouth of the harbor and took
peep at her. The enormous hull of
the American ship, bristling with Nor
denfeldt guns, scared her and she
scurried back to shelter. A little
while later three vessels were OBJ
served coming out, and Copt. Snow
thought a fight was coming. He
brought the ship up to the mouth OF
the harbor and prepared to give the
Spaniards a warm greeting, when it
was discovered that instead of gun
boats the advancing ships were tug,
a brigantine and a barge, the last two
in tow, all flying Spanish and Red
Cross flags. A couple of shots were
fired in their direction and they sur
rendered.
The tug was the Humberto Rodri-
guez, fine and new, and worth $4,000
The brigantine was the Safi and the
barge was the San Fernando. A party
from the Badger boarded the prizes
and found distributed over them about
400 Spanish soldiers, who, it was said
| had been ordered to Havana by Gen
Salcido. The surgeon in charge as
serted that there were six cases Of vel
low fever among the troops, oUt q
careful examination by the Badger'l
doctor showed there was no infection
among the men and that the Red Cros:
flags were used as decoy.

workmen. There was grand scram-
BILE to get away, and when the men
had clambered out of the trench it
was found one man was dead and an
other seriously injured. The dead
man was buried under hundreds of
tons of clay. His name was Louie

They Fear an Injunction.

Cleveland, Aug. "a United States
court injunction is feared more than
anything else by the wire mill strik-
ers and it is realized that if one is Sc
cured against them it will practically
break the strike. The American mill
was in operation Monday, and it is
said by the strikers that the first i'm
portation of men has arrived. In the
importation there is alleged to be two
colored men. 1t is claimed that there
are Ave wire drawers at work. The

Washington, Aug. ct having been
stated that much of the hardship suf-

army at Santiago was due to the large
number of officers IN that army who
were appointed from civil and political
life, Adiutant Gen. Corbin pointed out
last night that the statement could
not be correct, as few officers with
Shafter's corps had been appointed
from civil life. The record shows that
there were 1O1 general and general

campaign and that only IA Of them
were appointed from civil life
