Bridges Near San Luis and Armed
Men Prevent Workmen From
Making Repairs.

Havana-Two bridges OF the West
ern railway between Pinar Del Rio
and San Luis, south of that city, we're
blown up with dynamite Friday morn
ing. A force of men sent to repair the
bridges was stopped by a body Of
rebels, numbering at least 500 men.
General Avalos, commander of the
government forces, has telegraphed to
the authorities to send three rapid fir
ing guns to the scene of the bridge de-
struction in order to enable him to
protect the workmen sent to rebuild
the structures. With proper protec.

think they can repair the bridges in
