" HOODLUM" AS A WORD.

Several explanations have been
given to account for the formation of
this word, which plainly has no
chronological percentage. A Califor-
MIA paper has this story about it: "In
the 70s there was gang OF young
toughs in San Francisco who perpe-
trated many atrocious acts under the
leadership of youth named Null
doom. An editor writing about this
gang called its members the mood
lums,' reversing the name OF the
leader. But his penmanship being
imperfect, the compositor read h for n
and set the word up 'hoodlums. The
word struck the fancy OF the public
and soon became generally used.
Another story is that gang OF
young rowdies had the warning cry
"H uddle'em," from which the name
"hudde'ems" or hoodlums was given
them. Still another explanation is
that such gang adopted as IA head
covering folded soft hat which re-
sembled a hood; and yet another is
that the gang was headed by some
depraved girls wearing hoods. The
first explanation is as probable as any
other; nothing is certain save that
the name originated in San Francisco.

CUBAN REBELS
PUT TO FLIGHT

HAVANA, Aug. 29.-General Rodri-
guez, commander of the rural guards,
has received a telegram from Colonel
Vale telling of the engagement be-
tween the government forces and the
insurgents near C%ienfuegos, province of
Santa Clara. The dispatch reads:
"Insurgent parties under Guzman
and Porteia, having camped near
Aureus and commenced harassing the
rural guards, we proceeded toward
Aureus with a force of rural guards
and volunteers and encountered the
revolutionlsts. who were entrenched in
the town of Aureus.
1--WE routed the enemy, killed many
revolurlonists and captured Il quantity
of arms and ammunition and Il number
of horses. We continued our opera
tions to Rodas, where our advance
guard was charged by the revolution
lists who were holding the town and Il
little fort called De Piedra fort, where
fierce fighting continued.
THE enemy was persistent, but the
revolutionists were finally dispersed
and ran away in different directions,
leaving a large number of men killed
In the streets. The full extent Of the
revolutlonlsts' casualties is not yet
known. Ii
"Once in possession of the town we
got in touch with the detachment of
rural guards commanded by Lieutenant
Toro. Our forces fought valiantly
throughout the engagements. Later
the enemy returned and rushed the
town, but the revolutionists were again
scattered by our machete charges"
Colonel Vale expresses the opinion
that the engagements in Santa Clara
will prove to have been of great i'm
portance toward ending the insurrec-
ton in that province.
A band Of insurgents fired n volley
at a passenger train on the Western
railway west of Alquizar, Havana
province, thirty-three miles by rail
southwest of the Cuban capital. Sew
eral bullets hit the cars, but nobody
was wounded. 2
Investigation shows that the state
ment made by Senator Dolz, a leader
of the Moderate party, at the conclu-
sion of n conference with President
Palma at midnight, to the effect that
practically all the insurgent leaders of
consequence except Pine Guerra had
signlfied their willingness to disband
their men if all were positively guar
anteed immunity for their insurrection-
airy acts, was an exaggeration. but the
impression is very general that the in
%surgents, with the exception of Pine
Guerra, will shortly lay down their
arms.

TO WELCOME BRYAN
New York Ready to Extend Hearty
Greeting.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-New York rs
the host is ready to extend to William
Jennings Bryan a welcome home such
as 1t has been the lot of few Americans
to receive. Partisan, fractional and
eve clashing personal interests have
been sunk in the universal sense OF
fair play and recognition for the com
moner that the demonstration upon his
homecoming shall not compare unfa.
vorably with the greeting given to him
in foreign lands.
From the moment the Princess Irene
reaches Quarantine Mr.. Bryan will be
made aware of that fact. The Bryan
party will leave the ship down the bay
and be transferred to the yacht Of Mr..
SOltra, a st. Louis millionaire.
The Nebraska delegation of Bryan
men called upon William r. Hearst at
the headquarters of the Independence
league here and heard Mr.. Hearst's
prompt avowal to them that he would
do all within his power to assist In
making the Bryan reception a success.
Mr.. Hearst then stated that as the
personal friend Of Mr.. Bryan since
1896 he would call OH the commoner
on his arrival, but that he did not
deem it proper for him to appear on
that occasion as the representative Of
the independence league. Mr.. Hearst
also stated that he would attend the
Madison Square Garden reception.
