sII Couples Married.

Cupid had busy day in Washington
yesterday. Early in the morning a
party of excursionists from Virginia
landed there. The little god had been
active, and sin couples straightway made
for the courthouse To get marriage
licenses. They found the courthouse
closed on account OF Labor Day, aud
grief marked them for its own until n
Yatchman told them where Assistant
Clerk Of the Court Frank Smith lived.
Thither the six pairs Of lovers wapdersd
hand in hand. To him they told their
tale, aud his heart soflened with tender
sentiment as he listened. He went TO
the courthouse with them and issued the
six marrisge licenses, then he told them
that nearby lived the Rev. James b.
Mclaughlin, who set them in line, and
so they we're married, two at q time, IN
til all we're happy.

Embraced as They Drowned.

Locked 10 each others arms 10 death,
the bodies of a young man and young
woman lay at the bottom of the Pros
pect Park lake, Brooklyn, for two hours
Tuesday night. Within a month they
were to have been married. Hundreds
in carriages, automobiles and afoot had
seer; them 90 down to their death, while
the brother of the man and another girl,
upset while rowing with them, had es-
capped like fate by the narrowest OF mar
gins.
Turning to each other as they realized
their last moments of life had come, the
two sank TO the bottom.
Among the crowds who thronged TO
the Brooklyn park we're Miss Sara Levine,
is Yeas old, of Jersey City; Herman
Ruben. of New York, 10 whom she was
engaged; William Ruden, 20 years old,
and Miss Rose Folk OF New York, to
whom William was engaged. William
Ruben aud Miss Folk were drowned.
In October there was to have been a
double wedding of the two brothers 10
the girls. They were spending Sunday
together, and after watching the crowds
at play in the park and on the lake
they bired rosboat about z o'clock
and rowed the length of Prospect Parks
little sheet of water. They were passing
among the three little islands which are
called the Three Sisters when the two
girls, who had been sitting in the stern
seat of the boat, found it uncomfortable
there. Miss Folk decided to change her
seat to the forysrd thgart of the boat,
where she would be near her lance,
William Ruden. The men we're rowing
In attempting to make the change the
boat was rocked violently and a mis-
step of the girl who was making her
way forward completely over balanced
it. In an Instant the rowboat had turn
ed turtle, and the four in it were IN the
water. None OF the four could swim,
and when the boat upset William Ruden
and Miss Folk, coming 70 the surface
near together, but far from the boat,
we're helpless. They we're too far from
the boat to grasp it and they thought
only Of each other. Floundering toward
each other they chung together as both
sank again. They never returned to the
surface until their bodies were drawn up
an hour later.

Today's Telegraphic News
Conditions In Cuba.

Havana, Sept. 4.-Pino Ciuerrs's in
surgent army is again in motion, and
this time, it is asserted, Guerra plans to
sweep the entire north coast of Pinar
del Rio province before ending his march.
His purpose Is TO seek recruits, and 1t is
admitted that il he is able Id make such
a march unhindered by the government
forces his army will be strengthened.
In the face of Guerra's fresh activity
the loyalists on the other hand are show
ing marked willingness to get away
from the immediate vicinity of the in
surgent army instead of rushing to
battle. Guerra's army at present Ia at
Mantua, fifteen miles northwest OF Guane,
Pinsr del Rio province. Colonel Ayalos,
who was sent from San juan de
Martinez toward Guane to engage
Guerra, has left Gusne and fal.
len back toward San Juan. This
movement has caused the greatest sur
prise. Avslos explains that provisions
were running short 10 Guane and that
telegrsphic communication with San
Juan had been interrupted, 30 that he
was forced to move backward instead OF
forward.
A new element has been injected into
the revolution through the offer OF Gen.
eral Menocal, who il regarded as the fav-
orite of liberals for President, to co-ope-
rate with other veterans in srbitrating
the differences which led to the upris-
ing. President Palma, however, de-
cines to srbitrate.
The financial side of the problem fac
ing the government is beginning to at
tract great deal of attention, and nearly
all the newspapers devote space to dis
cussing the country's financial standing
and pointing out that the strain of war
expenses cannot be borne long.
Havana, Sept. Am important en-
gagement on larger scale than any of
the previous fights between the loyal
forces and insurgents, is reported to be
in yrogress at Cumanayagia, near Glen
fuegos. Fighting is said to have con-
tinued for two days.
So far, the insurgents, who outuum.
bered the loyal forces, have had the
better of the fighting. Col. Vale, COM
msnder of the loysisls Is said to be in a
disadvantageous position.
Reinforcements have been dispatched
to his assistance from QienfuegOs. Heavy
losses are reported to have occurred on
both sides.
Cal. Vale left Cienfuegos three days
ago to attack Col. .iuzman, the chief
insurgent leader in Santa Clara province.
Yesterday Vale encountered a band
of insurgents under Major Postels, Guz-
mans chief lieutenant. The two forces
came together near the bridge over the
Arimao river, southeast OF Cieufuegos.
While this battle was 10 progress Col.
Guzman came up with his main force.
The fighting became general, both sides
losing heavily.
Late reports received here state that
Col. Vale still holds n position near the
river bridge, but is in great danger.
Requirements have been hurried to
his assistance from Cienfuegos.
Col Vslle's force numbered 300, and
the insurgent army was between | 1000
and |. 500 strong.

amid the greatest naval spectacle this
country has ever seen, is dissolving to-
day Heading to the eastward at dawn

ably take up the stations Of the battle

ships will probably return to this coun-
try. This division is under the COM

Der 20.
