Alleged Liberal Plot.

HAVANA, Sept. 23.-The govern
ment has dispatches from Cienfuegos
which state that plot of the liberals
to blow up the city hall, court house
and other public buildings was discov-
cred through the action of liberals in
taking into their confidence a man
named Ayola.
Ayola was offered a big sum to join
the plot ana assist in carrying it
through. He agreed, learned the de-
tails and then informed the chief of
police. The liberals were preparing to
assassinate all urges, raid the lotels
and seize the attendants and a tragedy
followed. The body of Congressman
Viluendas was ordered brought to Ha-
vana to lie in state in the house of
representatives, but it was buried at
Cienfuegos this morning, being car
ried to the cemetery On the shoulders
of liberals. Moderates attended and a
conflict was narrowly averted in the
cemetery. According to reports the
election at Cienfuegos today is pro-
ceeding quietly. Several outbreaks
have occurred in the interior. There
was one fight at Pinar Del Rio, but
the police quickly restored ORDER
Trouble is expected this afternoon
and tonight. The report Of an at
tempt to asSassinate Gomez is ap-
parently merely a political trick
without foundation. 1t appears the
government is preventing the trans
mission of messages to Cienfuegos in
tended to influence voting. Liberal
newspapers in the city have not a line

hours, in attracting the attention Of
persons passing.

assaulted by two. strange men, who
stuffing her apron in her mouth to pre-
vent ner crying out She said the men
after cutting off her hair, disappeared
in the direction of La Grande.
The sheriff and his deputies were
notified here and organized a posse and
went in search Of the men. The posse
searched in vain, and at last the sher-

not been telling the truth. After an
hour and a half spent in questioning
her, she broke down and admitted she

off her own locks, stating that her
reason for so doing was that she hoped
to get her parents to take her from the
work she was doing and send her to
