The liquor known as Chartreuse has been
manufactured by the Carthusian monks for
3G0<years. and for a century and a half at
a great monastery called the Grand Char

France. There have been many attempts
to initiate it. but none of them has been
successful. and until now the French gov
eminent has been diligert in protecting the
friars from Infringement. They began to
make the liquor in Paris in 1907 where the
receipt was discovered by Marschal d Es-
trees. chemist In the LuXumberg Gar
dens. He gave 1t to the monks. Twenty
years after Friar Jerome Naubec perfected
the process and gave the liquor the proper

with barrels Of brandy distilled by the
monks from grapes grown. In their own

TRAIN WAS DERATLED
CUBAN TROOP TRiIN JUMPED
FROM The TRACK.
Desperate Attack Made by Insurgent
General Guerrero Train Would
Have Been Captured but for Arrival
of General AValos and 400 Men
Who Forced Insurgents Back.

Paso Real, Cuba, Sept. 10. = The
government troop train, from Havana,
jumped the track three miles east of
Consolation del Sur. The train was
surrounded by several hundred insur-
gents, commanded by Pine Guerrero
in person, and sustained a fire for sew
eral hours. The train would have
been captured but for the timely ar
rival of Colonel Avalos and 400 men,
who had fought their way through
from Consolation del Sur.
When this force arrived the revolu-
tiOnists retired westward, after having
destroyed the bridge over the Santa
Clara river near Herradura. The rev.
olutionists are camped at Arroyo Cruz,
west of Consolation del Sur. Guer-
rera's forces at Consolation del Sur
and in that neighborhood number 200
men and those of the government 500.
The government forces suffered one
man killed and six wounded, including
Captain Ravenna, who was slightly in
jured.
Previous to the fighting Pine Guer-
rera sent note to Colonel DiaZ, COM
handing the troop train, commanding
his surrender. Diaz replied that he
would die first.
The engagement between Colonel
Avalos and the insurgents near Con-
sOlacion del Sur lasted an hour. In
both these fights Pine Guerrero car
ried away dead and wounded.
The troops will proceed westward
as soon as possible.
Reports received by the government
say that 200 insurgents were killed in
the encounter near Consolation del
Sur, but these figures are not consid-
cred authentic.
