FRUIT Day.
The Date Set for Thursday and FRI
day, September 18TH and
10th, 1898.


Arrangements are fast being per-
fected which will make the Fruit Day
celebration this year outshine all 9TH

was thought for while that the cele-
bration would not be taken up very
heartily this year, but every promise
is now given that people will aoon be
more enthusiastic than ever before.
Some weeks ago the chamber of
commerce took the initiative, and

this committee remains largely the
same as last year. The committee
now stands: Chairman, ]. H. Harri-
son; vice chairman, w. B. FELTON,;
secretary and treasurer, Jas. Fl. Pea

has shown that a better committee

WORK OF THE CUBANS.
Reports from the Vicinity OF Guantanamo
Indicate That the Insurgents Are Doing
Splendid Work.

| WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE work of
the Cubans in reinforcing the marines at
| Guantanamo and particularly in occupy
| ing Acerraderos is receiving unstinted
| praise from officials here. Secretary
| Quesada said to-day that the Cubans had
not seen fit to reply to criticism during
| the last few weeks as to the Ineffective
| ness of the Cuban soldiers, as they knew
! the criticisms We're due to an ignorance
of the careful plans, largely matured at
| Washington, by which the Cuban forces
were to execute their part Of a well co.,
| sidered programme.
But now that the Cuban flag is floating
over Acerraderos,' continued Mr.. Cues
ada, all the criticisms are answered
Acerraderos is about fifteen or twenty
miles west of Santiago, and is the port
for the great iron and copper mines of
that locality. 1t should not be COMPOUNDED
with Aquadores, another suburban town
to the southeast of Santiago. But it is
even more important, from a strategic
standpoint, than Aquadores, as it has ex-
ceptional landing facilities.
The achievement of Gen. Rabi in maxi
ing forced march from Bayamo is char
acteristic Of the dash and genius of that
oftcer. He is chief of staff to Garcia,
| and has the rank of general of a division
which is midway between your brigader
general and major general. He is about
4o years old, tall, thin and muscular and
knows no fear. He takes pride In the
fact that he is partly of Indian descent
and he has the natural fighting capacity
of the Indian. He made a name for him
self during the last Cuban war and soon
took high rank when the present war
broke out When Gen Martinez Campos
thought to make short work of the pres
ent war he led the Spanish forces to
Saodel 1ndio, Cacacao, and Peraljo where
ne met Gen. Rabi with a Cuban army
much smaller than that of Campos but
in each of those notable engagements
Rahi outgeneraled and defeated Martinez
Campos, the recognized military genius
Of Spain. 1t led Campos himself to de-
clare that in Rabi he had met a soldier
worthy of his best efforts
In occupying Acerraderos. Gen. Rabi
had with him about 10000 men, while
Garcia is coming up with 5000 TO O9o
more Cubans. The march of Rabi can
hardly be appreciated by any one not ia
mlliar with the mountains. swamps and
tangled tropical vegetation through which
ne pushed his way from Bayamo to Acer-
raderos. 1t is extremely gratifying to Gu
pans that Admiral Sampson should i'm
mediately recognize this movement and
should of1cially report it in such compli-
mentary terms to the Navy Department"

BETTING ON THE RESULT
OF Monday Nights Contest Between
Burns and Johnson.

Everything is IN readiness for the
coming battle between those sturdy
welterweights, Charley Johnson and
Charley Burns, next Monday evening
before the guests of the Metropolitan
Athletic Club. The betting on the re-
suit Of this contest promises to be very
lively, and several good sized wagers
have been placed at even money, show
ing that while the supporters Of either
man are willing to back their opinion
with hard cash, they have a wholesome
respect for the other fellow.
I Wheeling sports have the advantage
Of having seen both men together in
their previous mill, and are drawing
their conclusions from that. Johnson S
friends argue that if that affair had
been of longer duration the Quaker City
lad would undoubtedly have received
the decision, and that he will prove
their opinion is correct in the coming
bout; while Burns admirers claim that
he will prove conclusively to be John
sons superior as ring general and a
! boxer.
However, both men are aware of the
/ long journey before them, and while
! they have not expressed themselves on
the line of battle mapped out for Mon
day, 1t is safe to say both boxers will
change their tactics to offset any opln-
ion either man may have formed Of the
others style of boxing.
The boys who will perform in the
preliminaries are all taking light exer-
else to be in the best shape possible, as
they are anxious to distinguish them
selves as coming champions.

A NEW BREECH
For One of the Big Guns on the Massa-
chusetts Has Been Shipped.

Washington, June 16.-The Navy De
partment has sent TO the battleship
Massachusetts complete new breech
mechanism for one of the big 13-inch
guns of that ship. This was due to
report reaching the department about
q week ago that the breech of one of
the guns was out of order. The new
mechanism will be delivered in a day
or two and can be readily substituted
for the old breech. The condition Of
this 13-inch gun gave rise to rumors
to-day that the Massachusetts had suf-
fered rather severely during the first
action off Santiago and that two of the
big guns were disabled and a gunner
killed There was no basis for the ru-
NOR beyond the disordered breech
mechanism referred to.

STEPHEN CRANE
Says the American Marines Were
Mutilated by Spanish Bullets Only.

New York, June 16.-Stephen Crane
telegraphs to the Evening World from
Guantanamo Bay, June "A, positive
denial of the statements that tho
bodies of marines killed in the fight
ing on Saturday were mutilated afte.
they fell. The appearance Of mutila-
ton, it is asserted, was caused By
Mauser bullets fired at close range, the
Spaniards having ambushed the ma
rines, one of whom was pierced by
eight bullets. Surgeon Edgar is
quoted as authority for the conuad.-
ton of the story of mutilation.
