FORTIFYING HAVANA,
Civil Governor and All Government En-
ployes at Work.

NNii po'erHor anu All government En-
ployes at Work.
HAVANA, June 6 90 p. m.)-Delayed
in transmission.-Wor Oh the forti-
tications about Havana is being push
ed without an hours intermission.
Even the Civil Governor of Havana
and all the employees of the Govern
ment are at work on the forts or bat
teries and all persons out of work are
finding similar employment.
The cultivation zones are turning
out very successful and are proving a
great relief to the poor.
ltisannouncedf from thePalace that a
Spanish column has defeated an insur-
gent force, near Palisada, in the Pro
vince of Pinar del Rio. The insur-
gents are said to have left II men dead
on the field. The insurgents, it appears
were almost naked. The Spaniards
admit they lost 10 men killed.
In n number of encounters which
have taken place recently between the
Spaniards and the insurgents, the
former claim to have killed 81 of the
latter, to have destroyed several camps
and 33 huts and to have captured a
quantity of arms and ammunition.

The Situation of the War as Presented to
the People of Havana.

Inc situation OF the War as Presented to
the People of Havana.
The following, taken from the EZ
ProgreSS0, is a sample of the bluster
the Spanish papers are giving their
readers:
"A month has gone by since the
cowardly Yankees proclaimed war
against Spain. They then declared
that they would annihilate us: that
they would come and take Havana
and level our forts to the ground. We
now see that it was a cowardly boast,
for not one bastard Yankee has set
foot on Cuban soil.
They are already sorry they have
begun the war against Spain, but we
Will give them cause for deeper regret.
will not be long before our victor
lous army will cross over into their
territory and do them as they would
have liked to have done to us. We
will give them some of their own med
icine
Already our gallant fleet has bonn
barded their city of Boston and driv-
en- the inhabitants of that place into
the interior, compelling them to flee
for their lives. Next we will move
upon New York and no Yankee ships
dare attack us, knowing full well
their inability to cope with the for
midable Spanish navy
Already there is tumult and insur-
rection among the Yankees because
of the failure of their arms, and the
people are blaming President McKin-
ley. a military guard of 900 soldiers
surrounds his palace to prevent an
assassin from reaching him. He
never goes out, and it is expected
daily that news will be sent out of
his death, so intensely enraged are
the people because they see nothing
but defeat in the war against Spain.
Civil war is threatened among the
United States, and it may be looked
for at any moment. The wealthy
Yankees of New York and Philadel-
phia have barricaded their houses
and armed their servants, fearing
both the attacks of our forces and
the mobs of their own people
"Such is the condition which exists
in America to-day while our noble
army and our government under the
brave and good Capt Gen. BlancO
has succeeded in pacifying all of Cuba
so that peace reigns upon our shores.
"Spaniards, we have nothing to
fear from the cowardly Yankees. We
are already the victors and gladly
would the enemy sue for peace"

TELLER GIVES WARNING.
Notifies the Republicans That He Will
Defeat Them if He Can.

Washington, Jan S.-The feature of
the senate session yesterday was a
speech delivered by Mr.. Teller (COlo),
regarding press reports that the recent
efforts to make it appear that Secre-
tary Gage had rendered his resignation
as a member of the cabinet to Presi-
dent Mckinley, were g. part of a con-
spiracy of the silver men to disrupt
the cabinet and create dissensiOn be-
tween the president and his advisors.
Mr.. Teller branded the publication as
an insult to the advocates of the free
coinage of silver. He was satisfied that
fully in accord upon the financial ques-
ton. He attacked the Republican par
ty because it was a party advocating
the gold standard and expressed his in
tention of doing all in his power to de-
feat the party in 1900 and to drag the
present administration from power be-
cause the policy of the party, was in his
opinion, inimical to the best and high
est interests of the people of the United
States.
Mr.. Butler IN. c. presented a joint
resolution proposing an amendment to
the constitution providing for the cleo
ton of the federal judiciary by the peO-
pie. The resolution went to the table
to permit Mr. Butler to make a speech
on it.
ed the senate that the sale of the Kan
sas Pacific railroad had been postponed
to February 16, 1885, and also submitted
the agriculture department report on
experiment stations.
At 2:45 the senate went into executive
session and at $40 adjourned until
Monday.

have made more noise. Quick as a flash
the crowd turned. From 20 threats an
other ear-piercing scream was given,
and 40 fleet feet carried the Bethany
girls away from the startled young
gentleman.
Reaching a point about $50 feet away,
the young ladies ran in behind some
evergreens and hid themselves from
the view of the strange visitor. They
peered from around the foliage in a
startled way. All were out of breath
and excited.
"Oh, horrors!" said one. DO you sup
pose that fellow will know who we are?
I was never so badly scared in my life.
I didn't see him till I pretty nearly ran
over him"
Limitations of night air were taken
frequently by the young ladies as they
recovered from their run and the ex-
element.
Say. girls" said one, lets don't
say anything about this No one knows
it now. and we will keep it secret"
The talking ceased and only whispers
could be heard.

SHUT OUT OF CEMETERIES.
No Burial Place in San Francisco viii
Receive Durrant's Body

San Francisco. Jan. s-FolIowing the
execution Of Theodore Durrant yesterday
the body was allowed to hang for fifteen
minutes, when it was cut down and placed
in a black coffin provided by an under
taker from San Francisco. 1t is not
known what disposition will be made of
the body, as Durrant's parents have been
so far unable to secure accommodations
in any of the local cemeteries for the body
of their son. It is very probable that the
body will be cremated.
AS soon as the drop fell the spectators
were hurried out of the room, and nobody
remained except the physicians and news
paper men.
Durrant senior went Immediately to his
wife, who was waiting in one of the
guard rooms and together they accom-
panied the body of their son to San Fran
cisco.
Durrant's most urgent request of War
den Hale was that no autopsy should be
held over his body. The prisoners medi-
cal training seemed to have imbued him
with a horror of the surgical treatment
of corpses and he vowed that knife
should ever touch his flesh. He also re-
quested that the rope with which he was
hanged should be burned His wishes in
both these respects were observed by the
warden.
1t was a sad day. not only for Durrant
but for eight other 1nurderers who are
confined in San Quentin and whose fate
depended on the success of the fight made
by Durrant's attorneys in his behalf. They
were all prepared to follow the same tao
tics for delay, but now that the courts
have shown that it is possible to hang
murderer in California they have given
up hope.

that hour were 10, 800 bales. 1t was a local

Appears on Bethany Campus and
Breaks Up a Frolic of the Students.
Last evening at $50 o'clock the Beth
any girls had royal good time on the
campus in what is there termed a
running match"
All the boarders, dressed in their
cahsthenic suits, consisting of bIouses
and knickerbockers, assembled in the
large room in the basement, and when
the $50 bell rang, they broke out into
the campus with yells and screams. In
the moonlight dozens of boarding
school maidens ran here and there
among the trees. The Bethany campus
was checkered with them. They ran
over every part of the 20-acre lot and
made the air ring with their laughter.
There were big girls and little girls,
fat girls and thin girls. All were dress
ed in the black calisthenic suits and
they formed amusing siIhouettes in the
moonlight.
AS a bunch of five of the best look
ing girls were running at their best
speed along the east border of the
grounds and were pursued by a crowd
of Is laughing, shouting girls, they
suddenly came face to face with a
young man who was just leaving the
grounds.
He stopped as if surprised at the
sudden arrival of 20 "black sprites."
There were 20 Mortified screams given
in unison, and then repeated several
times. An Indian war cry could not
