An Actor Elevated.

Gus and exciting incident that befell
the veteran irish comedian, Grattan

Grattan Riggs is neither as young nor

A CUBAN CAMORRA.
Spanish Outlaws Set Free by Gen.

The Last Piece Of Treacherous Hos.

Island.

AS final act of hostility TO the
Americans, the Spaniards have. accord
ing to the Cuban junta in New York,
let loose the worst gang of thieves in
Cuba.
They are expected, in gratitude for
their deliverance, to become a camorra
and prey upon the people.
AS the day for the evacuation Of the
island drew near it became evident that
Blauco and his subordinatcs, acting
under direct orders from the govern
ment at Madrid, were planning II final
coup which. while it would not infringe
on the provisions of the treaty OF peace.
would serve to embarass the United
States government at the outset of its
administration and lead to intermina-
bic disorder in the island.
On the last day of his administration
Gen. Blanco announced that las evil
dence of the love of Spain for the peo-
pie who had been taken from her he
had resolved to order general release
