Cruiser Cincinnati Meets a Danger
GUS Obstruction in Santiago Harb0r. !
Santiago de Cuba, Dec. 1s.-While the
United States cruiser Cincinnati was
leaving port about sunset Saturday
she ran full speed upon a rock, clearly
defined In the charts. but not buoyed.
Last September General Wood, con-
sidering the absence Of buoy there
might lead to some accident. anchored
one. the first ever placed there. The
Bessie, on entering the harbor one
night, carried 1t away, and since then
there has been no buoy to mark the
location Of the rock.
1t now turns out that the man who
was shot Friday morning by Cuban
negro, after landing from a schooner
hailing from Baracoa, was not. as was
at first supposed. Celeste Rodriguez.
the guerilla. but merchant from
Baracoa, who had come here to pur-
chase supplies. The assumption Is
that the crime was committed for the
sake of robbery. r'
From Firmesa, a town which Is vir-
tually the property of the Jurugua
Iron company, comes report that the
alcalde has been attacked and stabbed
with machete, and there has been
another stabbing affray at Daiquiri.
Although these affairs are probably
mining rows, the authorities now feel
compelled to police these places, which
heretofore has been unnecessary, owing
to the fact that majority, of the work.
men were Spanish soldiers and under
military discipll' e.
The arrival of the news that the Uni.
ted States senate had confirmed tho
nomination Of General Wood as ma
jor general was the occasion for uni
versal rejoicing here.

Quoted store, and 1t was known that
they kept large amount of money in
the dwelling across the road from the
store. A young man named Cook was
employed to superintend the farm, and
he occupied room in the house. Some
time between midnight and daylight
Cook was aroused by noise.in the
room of the elder Mrs. Myers. He
sprang out of bed and ran to fne door
Of the room and saw Mrs. Myers strug.
CLING with strange men.
He rushed to her assistance and was
knocked senseless with a club. When
he regained. consciousness he found the
house on fire and the elder Mrs. Myers
apparently dead on the floor. Dragging
her from the fire he went in search of
the younger Mrs. Myers. and found
her dead in her room, her brains having
been beaten out He rescued her body
just In time from the flames.
He then rang the farm bell and
aroused the neighbors. who came in
great numbers, but were too late to
save the house or any Of Its contents.
1t is believed that the robbers OBJ
tained $4,000 In cash. and evidently
they thought they had killed all three
parties. and fired the house to cover
up their crime. The condition Of the
elder Mrs. Myers is critical.
