500 in number, who were landed
on the shore of Guantanamo bay
after the spaniards had been
sheIIed out of position by vessels
of Admiral SIMPSONS fleet, have
had a taste of real fighting. On
Saturday they were attacked by a
large force of Spanish guerrillas
and regulars. The fighting cOntin-
ued for thirteen hours, when rein
fOrcements were landed from the
war ships and the enemy. driven
of. Four of the blue Jackets were
killed and one wounded, while the
advance picl<ets are unaccounted
for and may have been captured.
The Spanish loss is unknown, but
is thought to be heavy.
The authorities at Washington
have finally announced that the
army of invasion has sailed for
Cuba under convoy of n large fleet
of war ships. There are 1900
picked regulars in the expedition,
and they are cared for by thirty
two transports. dispatch from
Haiti, saying 5000 American
troops have landed near Santiago,
is discredited at Washington.
Belated details of the lombard
ment of the fOrtifications of Santi-
ago de Cuba early last week show
that the marksman ship of the YAM
kee gunners would have been bet
ter but for the dense clouds of
smoke that hid the shore from
view. This smoke was due to the
black powder used by the fleet.
Some of the Spanish batteries used
smOkeIess powder, but the aim of
their gunners, as usual, was poor,
and not one ship of SIMPSONS fleet
was hit. Some of the shells fred
from the big guns of the United
States battle ships played terrible
havoc with the forts.
Captain General BIanco, despite
the assertion that all the Cuban
cables have been cut, still seems
to be able to communicate with
Madrid, although he admits he has
no news from La CaimanerO,
where the United States marines
are landed. BlancO says there are
fifteen of the enemy's war ships on
Santiago de Cuba, three In front of
Havana and five on other points
on the coast. He also intimates
that the blockade at CienfuegOs
and Matanzas has been abandoned.
The squadrOns of Admiral Samp-
son and Commodore SchIey are
still off Santiago de Cuba, watch
ing that Cervera does not escape
and waiting for the transports
now en- route from Key West. Sc

THE COMPLAINT A BOOK
Owners Of Building Sued for Debts
Due BY Insolvent Contractors

The Stimson Mill company has brought
suit against F. W. Braun, L. M. Brunswig.
Parton & Tuttle, f. H. Missal and P. II.
Clark, assignee. to recover from the firm Of
Parton & Tuttle, contractors, s954632 and
$500 attorneys fees. Parton is insolvent
and futile has absconded.
Messrs. Braun and Brunswig are engaged
in the wholesale drug business, and own a
large building at the corner of Main and
Republic streets, running back to New High
street, which was reconstructed and altered
for them by Parton & futile, the contract
price being 1854. The Stimson Mill COM
pany alleges that Of this amount only $4,000
has been paid, leaving a balance due of
$8254, although Messrs. Braun and Bruns-
wig claim that they paid $500. The contrac-
tors bought lumber from the company for
the building amounting to $4,000.
e. H. Missal was the cement work con-
tractor on the same building. Parton &
futile ordered plaintiff to charge Missals
account to them. The balance still due is
1854. The Baker Iron works, the Pioneer
Roll Paper company. Harper-Reynelds,
Sriver & Quinn, w. W. Montague & Co.,
the MADEIRA Flume and Trading company,
H. Raphael & Co. and number of other
firms assigned their claims in connection
with Parton & Tuttle's contract upon
Braun and Brunswig's building to the plain
tiff, making up the sum above stated Of
$954632. Mechanics liens had been filed in
each case, and the plaintiff now asks that
the aggregate of the amounts due and still
unpaid be made liens upon the building and
| that the premises be sold by the sheriff te
pay them, together with the attorneys fees
| and costs. The complaint is a curiosity ir
its way, being book composed of 14S pages
of typewriter matter. Wilson & Bulla are

PArTERsoN's DODGE
Unwilling to Be Tried for Robbery He
Shams a virulent Disease

James Patterson. the accomplice of Dan
Mcmahon in the robbery of the Swede,
Hester, on the night of February a. ex-
perienced such a turn when he heard that
the jury had convicted his partner on
Thursday that he resolved to have his own
trial put off for while, If his ingenuity
could devise a trick that would keep him
away from the present panel, which has
earned the reputation of being dead on
convictions.
His trial was set for yesterday morning,
but at 10 o'clock defendant came not. In
stead there came word from the county
jail that Patterson was sick that he was
covered with pustules and eruptions that
looked like smallpox. DIR. Wernigk went
to examine the prisoner and decided that
he was shamming, the skin being infiamed
by chemical irritant clandestinely OBJ
tained by him from the outside. Quaran-
tine was Immediately raised and after
ward Patterson appeared, nothing the
worse for wear, in the courtroom, where
jury was promptly empaneled to try
him. He will learn his fate today.

citrus and other fruit varieties. The San
Dimas Land and Water company asks for
q perpetual Injunction against the defend
ants, restraining them from taking the
water OF the creek and from trespassing
on its land and for $500 damages.
The defense Is that section 80 was gov
eminent land, and that it was by mis-
take that In the suit Of Lyman Allen ct al
against the defendants they admitted that
the title vested In the plaintiffs. II 1t had
been known at the time that the land now
claimed by the San Dimas Land and
Water company was then government land
the suit would not have been decidedNa the
granting of an injunction, because under
the laws Of the United States the defend
ants had right to lay pipes upon gov
eminent land. When the mistake was dis
covered the present defendants commenced
suit to have the judgment affirmed by the
supreme court set aside, and the action is
still pending. The defendants claim that
they had been using their water pipes over
the land before the beginning of the first
suit and that they have a right over it
by reason of open and notorious occupa-
ton.
The San Jose Land and Water company
claims the right to 1000 inches of water
from San Dimas canyon, acquired from T.
w. Brooks in March, 1887. who posted and
recorded a location notice to the same in
July. 1885, 1t then built water system for
which 1t expended over $4,000, besides be-
ing put to great expense by litigation with
the plaintiffs. the latter having brought no
less than three suits to harass defendants.
The San Dimas Reservoir and Water COM
pany is the successor Of the San Jose
Land and Water company. The section of
land which, is affected by this suit is in the
vicinity Of Lordsburg. 1t is likely that the
trial will occupy several days, as there is
large amount of documentary evidence
on hand.
