Havana, Oct. PA brisk battle be-

conservatives gathered in front of a

firing was brisk
Strong forces of mounted police and

mob returned the fire from the Win

club by the supporters OF General As

Forty Wounded
Here occurred the hottest fighting
Several pOlicemen's horses were shot
A number of shots struck the Ameri-

Reinforcements of police, rural guards
and soldiers arrived and the mob
which was then composed of adnorents
of both parties. was driven from the
park and gradually dispersed. After
wards the park was occupied by
strong force of cavalry for tile re-
mainder of the night. The total of
the wounded who included two wom-

The fronts of the hotels and cafes
facing the park are riddIed with bull

Immediately after the firing had

the city also ended in a riot, during
which many shots were fired. one
version of the start of the rot in

MANx, THE NEW CARD GAME

A new card game, "Manx," has TAX
en- London by storm. Everybody s
playing it, although it made its first
appearance only last month. 1t has
this list of virtues to its credit:
1t is a game in which each player
plays Independently, free of the part
nership which so often fosters I'M
neighborly thoughts and expressions.
1t may be played with any number
Of players from two TO ten.
Anyone may join in at any point OF
the game, the players agreeing on an
average starting score for the new
conner
1t has been constructed so as to
give skill the first chance and luck
the second.
1t is easily learned, and is full of
life and endless variations,
"Manx" is worth a book of introduce
ton. The merest outline of its rules
however, will prove it's power to fas-
cinate
The pack consists Of sixty cards,
and has two new court cards-"Billi-
ken" and "Manx" The ace counts 1,
the Jack II, the Queen IL, the King
Is, Billiken ii, Manx Is, and there
are, of course, the ordinary pip cards
ranging from to 10.
The object Of the game is to score
by honors and by making multiples
of five. Each player is dealt five
cards, and as each plays a card in
turn the numerical total increases ac-
cording to the values of the cards.
Whenever "Manx" is played the fig
ures revert to zero. The player who
first scores 200 points wins. At the
end of each hand the multiples made
by each player as well as the honors
made by each, are counted, and a
fresh hand is dealt
There are no trumps in "Manx" or
dinarily.
Scoring is done on a sheet of pa
per with line drawn across the mid
die, As in bridge, what is made in
play is scored below the line; what is
made in the hand, above. When a
game OF 200 is called the scores both
below and above the line are added.
Every multiple of five scores l.
\ pair scores /.
Two pairs score 5.
Three OF a kind scores 5.
a full house three of a kind and
pair scores s.
A straight or flush scores 10.
A straight flush scores %.
/. a royal straight flush scores so.
The first player who reaches 200
adds up an extra % to his score, but
tie hand must be played out
