A BANDIT IN PETTtCOATs.
TAKES PANT IN RAIDING, STEAL

An Estate "A Few Mics from Havana

Troops Sent in Pursuit of the Des-
peradOes.
Havana, April 15.-News has been re-
ceived from Marianoa that twelve or If

woman, raided the Plnellos plantation,
owned by Sonora Puri, two miles south Of
Caimlto and ten miles from Havana, at
twilight yesterday and took 800 in silver
from the owners residence, and after
ward burned the house of the overseer
and a warehouse containing 5000 worth
of tobacco.
The bandits then rode into Caimito,
where they plundered two dwellings and
then went to a third, where a dance was
in progress. A captain, "A sergeant ana
two Cuban soldiers, who were present at
tho dance, went out of the house to in.
vestigate, and other persons crowded to
the doors and windows.
The raiders fired a volley at close range,
killing the captain and one soldier and
one man in the house and woundlng the
sergeant and another soldier and two other
men, who were also inside the building
The bandits then galloped away.
A report of the raid from Guanajay says
that fifteen well mounted and armed men,
some OF them masked, entered the village
of Caimito a O'Clock last night, broke
INTO the house of Jose Rodriguez where
they secured a sum of money. first robbed
and then killed Jose Maria Armas. and

where they were met by Cuban sergeant
and two soldiers, The bandits killed one
of the soldiers and wounded the other and
the sergeant, after which they rode away.
The operation was reported a Gen. Lees

directed to send body OF cavalry with the
utmost haste to pursue the outlaws. Much
excitement was manifested in the Cuban
camp upon the receipt of the order and
joyful preparations were made, as If for
a picnic. Three attachments of from TWEEN

sent onfdlnerent roads in pursuit of the
bandits

The following telegram was received to-

Effort of the Defense of the Lynehers
to Prove AIibis.

Charleston. s. c., April ia great mass
of testimony was given TO the jury in the
Lake City cases here to-day.
The defense devoted itself to proving
alibis for various prisoners and incident
ally to breaking down the character of
Joseph p. NEWMAN, the defendant who
turned states evidence, and whose testi-
mony is the central feature of the gov
ernment's case.
Witnesses were called to reinforce the
claim already made that Mcknight was
at his home on the night of the lynching
Three witnesses testified to this fact to-
day.
The alibi set up for Rodgers Is to the
effect that he was fishing near his home
when Baker was killed and that for Mar
tin Ward is to the effect that ne was at
the house of a nelghbor named Collins
nursing the latter's sick wife. Three wit
nesses testified to each of these state
ments.
During the cross examination the coun.
sci for the prosecution brought, to light
more than one inconsistency in the testi-
mony of witnesses for the defense A
man named Whtlock, for instance. swore
one minute that he was on good terms
with NEWMAN, and the next that he
would not speak 60 him in the road or
believe him OH oath.
Sauls who swore he slept with Rodgers
the night of the lynching. admitted he
had never staid a night at the mans
house before or since. He could not ex-
plain why Rodgers left his wife and his
own room TO sleep with him, and he did
not recall the fact that the night was
bitterly cold, Notwithstanding the cir
cumstance that he fished until after mid
night
These are fair samples OF the evidence
given on the cross examinations. The case
is not nearly concluded yet; ell of next
