are rowing about now, knocking at every

other side. Germany was thought by
them likely ally, but no sooner did she
decline to draw the chestnuts out Of the

United States, and they seem to think
that in return for few pretty phrases

SPANISH HONOR
TRY TO ESCAPE IN SHIPS FLYING
THE RED CROSS
Nuevitas Bombarded and Burned
Gunboats Capture More Prizes.
Astor Goes to Join Miles

KEY WEST, July 81, $50 p. m.-Reports
have reached here that Nuevitas, on the
south coast of the province of Puerto
Principe, Cuba, has been bombarded by the
ships of the blockading squadron, evacuat-
ed by the Spanish and subsequently burned.
No details are known, and the only infor-
nation Of the affair was that given to Cap
tain Maynard, of the gunboat Nashville,
by Lieutenant Colonel Rokas of the insur-
gent forces at Gibara, last Tuesday. Col
onel Rojas himself has the news at second
hand.
The only American ships known to have
been in the vicinity of Nuevitas lately are
the Prairie and Badger. The latter cap
tured three Spanish ships coming out Of
Nueltas harbor and took them to Dry Tor
tugas. All were flying Red Cross flags, but
when boarded were found to have O num-
ber of Spanish soldiers, only three of whom
were sick. The Badger is expected hero
shortly.
The Nashville reached Gibara on Tues
day, when she captured the schooners Gil
bara and Espresso. On entering the har-
Dor she was met by the former United
States consular agent and president of the
railroad line to Holguin. He told the
Americans of the evacuation of Gibara two
days before by General Luque and his 800
Spanish troops, who feared a concerted at
tack by Americans and Cubans. They fed
to Holguln by rail, and afterward tore up
the track.
The steamer Tabasquano, flying the
Spanish flag, was captured by the Hawk at
Sagua La Grande yesterday and brought
here today by prize crew. She is a Mex
lean ship of 800 tons, and was bound from
Vera Cruz for Sagua, loaded with coal, pro-
visions and mules. The Hawk took her
without difficulty, and also went into the
harbor after dozen small ships and
smacks. OF these all but one escaped by
scudding into shoal water, and this ona
was aground. Col. John Jacob Astor has
been appointed to the staff Of General
Miles, and today is in Florida on his way to
Join General Miles in Porto Rico.

PAY CAR WRECKED
THE COACH WAS BURNED BUT
THE MONEY WAS SAVED
The Engine Derailed Near Benson.
Fireman Taylor Killed and En-
gineer Walker Scalded

A disastrous wreck occurred yesterday
morning near Benson on the Southern Pa
cific railway in Arizona. The pay car of
the company was on its way to the east
with the officials paying off the men, Its
work to be completed on reaching Ell Paso.
After leaving Benson very sharp curve
was struck by the engine, which was run
ming at a high rate of speed, and Its
drivers left the rails, overturning the great
machine and piling the car on top of it.
Immediately the car took fire, and only
by the hardest work on the part of the Of
ficials was the money saved, as we'll as the
records of the pay rolls. the coach being
completely consumed.
Investigation showed that Fireman Tay-
lor had been instantly killed. while En-
gineer Walker was terribly scalded by the
escaping steam, his injuries being con-
sidered so severe as to prevent his recovery.
Conductor Crowder was picked up sense
less, and examination disclosed the fact
that he had received such internal inju-
ries as TO make his recovery impossible.
None of the pay officials received any Sc
rious harm, though all Of them were more
or less bruised and cut by the shaking up
they received. From all that could be
learned last night 1t is thought that they
escaped more severe wounds from the fact
that they were in their berths at the time.
The engine is reported to be one of the
most complete wrecks on record, being
nothing but a mass of twisted and ruined
metal.

lowing interesting statement for the con-
sideration Of the under secretary Of war, In
reference to the campaign on the Indian
frontier:
Lieut.. Ford was dangerously wounded
in the shoulder, and was bleeding to death
from the bullets having cut the main ar
terry, when Surgeon Lieut.. Hugo came to
his aid. The fire was too hot to permit
lights to be used to examine the wound,
and there was no cover; nevertheless, the
surgeon struck a match and examined the
wound. The match went out amid splut-
ter of bullets. which kicked up the dust all
around, but by Its uncertain light he saw
the nature OF the injury, and seized the
bleeding artery, and, as no ligature was
available, he remained for three hours un'
der fire, holding the vessel between MS
finger and thumb. When at length 1t
seemed that the enemy had broken into
the camp, he picked up the officer, who
was unconscious from loss Of blood, and
bore him into place Of safety, without re-
laxing his hold of the artery
Sir Walter will ask Mr.. Broderick wneth-
er the authorities have taken steps to re-
ward suitably this splendid act OF devotion.

MURDERERS AT LARGE
The Probable Assassin Seen Walking
With Chag, Brant

Although 1t has been a week since Chas
A. Brant, the former hotel man of this
city, was assassinated in st. Louis the
detectives of that place have been unable
to unravel the mystery connected with
the case. either by learning the motive for
the crime or finding the murderers. A
number of theories have been advanced,
but no proof has been found for any of
them. The chief of police said that he
thought the work had been done by high
waymen, but this was refuted by his own
officers. The detectives discovered wit
nesses who had seen young Brant and
three other men walking down the street
talking in an excited manner. When the
corner where the tragedy occurred was
pistol shot was heard. Brant uttered a
cry. then staggered across the street and
expired on the doorstep of a house. The
men escaped.
A Chicago paper says Roger c. Harding,
the father Of the ex-wife of Grant, claims
he and his daughter know nothing concern
ing the murder, and In an interview at AS
bury Park, N. j., said:
AS to the divorce, in his opinion, the
direct cause for the undoing of the mar
riage knot was religion. Brant being, as he
supposed a Catholic. while his family
were Protestants. The father admitted
that the marriage took place in his house.
and that the ceremony was performed by
Protestant clergyman.
Brant's former wife is Millie Amy Hard
Ing, says a Chicago paper. daughter of
Roger C. Harding of St. Louis. and he
with his daughter, is now at Davenport
Inn, Asbury Park. for the summer. He
was formerly we'll known gambler. An
other daughter came into much notoriety
from her connection with a newspaper
man who was concerned in the liaison of
Mrs. John W. Norton. wife of the manager
Of the Grand opera house, and Henry W.
Moore, editor of the Post-Dispatch, a few
years ago. They eloped, Moore dying
pennlless in London, Mrs. Norton now be-

Disappointment

The poet was billed to read from his
"works" before the Chautauqua assem-
bly, in his own town-that Is to say the
town where he was boy. The after
noon was clear and cool, and a consid-
cradle number of townsmen came out,
either as friendly partisans or to satisfy
a curious interest in the personality of
the young man who had been a bare
footed boy among them, and who was
now proud contributor of verses to the
columns of The Baled Hay Monthly and
other sterling publications of high liter
ary character. A party of charming
young ladies'. musicians from neigh
boring metropolis, were to divide the
program with the poet. One Of these
ladies appeared first, winning enthusi-
astic applause. She was followed by a
singer of ballads, and then the chair
man led the poet forward and introduced
him In terms calculated to recall the
story Of the prodigal returned from far
lands. The reading proceeded, and was
succeeded by decorous silence. The poet
retired gladly to the friendly shade of a
hand painted stage mountain. Turning
to one Of the musical young ladies'. he
stammered out the inquiry: "How-how
do you think they liked it?"
