It is suspected that the jealous news
papers in rival Kansas towns which
are making so many coarse comments
on Topeka's latest social sensation, the
maid which it is reported a new bride
expected here shortly viii bring with
her, are trying to disgust the maid
who may refuse to come on account of
the ''horried, disagreeable newspaper
notoriety," and thus deprive US of the
distinction of her presence. Here are
some of the latest paragraphs on the
subject from the Lawrence Journal:
No less than three letters have been
received in Lawrence from Topeka Ia
dies to know how to treat the maid
which Mrs. Dave Mulvane is going to
bring with her from New York. To-
peka society is agog to know how to
receive the maid. VIII they introduce
her at receptions or will she be passed
over? That is the social question just
now and it is one that is new to To-
peka.
Topeka let's on as if it has swarm
Of hired girls in every home, and that
the mistress of the house does not have
q thing to do. This IS not true. A To-
peka young wife whose husband has a
big, fat income, told US few days
ago she had to do her own work for
the reason that hired help was out Of
the question.

Avalos and 400 men, who had fought
their way through from Consolation

revolutionists retired westward after
having destroyed the bridge over the
Santa Clara river and some culverts,
and cut the wires near Herradura.

Havana. Sept 10. Government,
military and railroad officials and the
newspaper correspondents were thrown
into a state of excitement yesterday
by men who had arrived here from
Paso Real with stories that the arm
ored train which left Havana Friday
had met with various obstacles be-
yond Herradura, had been thrown
from the tracks and its 800 men, ma
chine guns, horses and equipment cap
tured. AS these tales were confirmed
by the Western railroads first tele-
graphic advices from Paso Real they
were believed to be true until au-
thentic reports Of actual occurrences
were wired by those who had returned
to Paso Real from the scene.
Rebels Given a Bad Repulse.
The facts of the case are that Col
onel Avalos, who was believed to be
surrounded in Pinar del Rio city, and
the armored train made a junction east
of Consolation del Sur, and the gov
eminent situation to that extent Is i'm
proved. The news Of this fact caused
much relief in official circles. The
train proceeded Saturday evening
from Paso Real to two and one-third
miles east of Consolation del Sur,
at which point the rails had been re-
moved, and replaced a locomotive and
three cars which had been thrown
from the track. The insurgents at
tackled, but were driven OF by the two
machine guns handled by Captain
Webster, the citizen Of the United
States who commands the gun.
AvaIos Has Lively Fight
1t is believed that many insurgents
were killed, but the number is not
known. Meanwhile a large portion Of
Colonel Alvalos' force had come east
ward from pinar del Rio for the pur-
pose of making a Junction with the
machine gun corps. At Consolation
del Sur their advance was disputed by
a large band of insurgents, and live
" fight ensued The insurgents were
driven off, and several of them were
killed or wounded Ava.los and his
men continued their journey eastward
and made a junction, first with the
cavalry force of Captain Ravenna,
which is scouting, and finally with
the disabled troop train. The train has
not been molested since the junction
was effected, butfthe bridge over the
Santa Clara river eastward from the
train was blown up yesterday, together
with two smaller ones, preventing the
use of the road beyond Herradura.
