His FOndness for the Fair Sex.
Havana, Jan. 2S.-Further details re-
garding the killing of Nestor Aranqueren,
the insurgent brigadier general, known as
the Sheridan of Cuba" have been receiv-
ed. They show that Col. Bransabe of the
Spanish forces had known for some time
that Gen. Arangueren was in the habit
of visiting his mistress in a hut on the
Tapaste hills, and the day before yester-
day he ordered three columns of troops
reinforced by cavalry, TO surprise the in
surgent chief, with the result that the
latter was shot and killed with one of his
companions. The troops also captured
two women and the father of Aranquer-
ems mistress, who is described as being
the dynamiter of the band.
About 1900 persons have visited the
morgue where the body of Aranqueren
lies exposed, among them being many
ladies, the uncle of the deceased, Jos
Maria Arangueren, and his nephew, Mes
tor Arangueren. The remains were iden-
tined by the chief of the fire department.

well as by his relatives
There is considerable comment In diff
ferent circles here at the fact, which is
now being pointed out, that nearly all the
insurgent chiefs of the province of Ha-
vana have been killed owing to their visi-
ting their mistresses. Another fact, which
is being commented upon considerably in
social circles, Is that the Bishop of Ha-
Vana has visited all the secretaries of the
autonomous government, while although
two weeks have elapsed since he did so
the secretaries have pot returned his
visit. .-....
Havana, Jan. 2s, a. NIT is said the
mistress of Arangueren and another wo-
man, who were both wounded when the
insurgent chief was captured, have since
died of their injuries.
Arangueren, it is now stated was shot
while he was writing. The remains of
Arangueren will be buried to-day.
The Spanish officials say that among
the papers that fell into the hands of the
troops when Arangueren was killed was
his diary, showing that he ordered the
