Avert-x Boetruea flakes a Dangerous
Journey on III-[ere River.
NIAGARA nuts, May «iv-1". c. Heine,
e Prussian. 60 years old. has just made
one of the most perilous tripe that has
ever been accomplished on the Niagara
river. - In a canoe shaped boat 10 feet in
length he called from the milling district
through the hydraulic canal out into the
rapids and over to Withhl 300' feet of
Goat island and then returned without
any mishap whatever.
Propelled by a paddle, llelne'e canoe
darted out of the ennui into the river. The
river was full, of ice. and everybody
thought Heine and his heat would get
wedged in it and be carried over the falls.
Thirty feet from the dock he put down his
paddle and took up a 10 foot pole with a
steel tip on it and pushed the boat out
along the roof to within a stone's throw of
Gout island. Herc the boat seemed to be
wedged on a rock, and as it swung round
and round with the current the 2,000
spectators expected to use it overturned
and Heine sent over the falls. Among the
spectators on Goat lslalid was the navl~
gator's wife and children, and the woman
called out. words of encouragement to
him. while the reservation oilic‘erswere
there to arrest him if he landed. He staid
where he was, dipping water from the
river with his hands and drinking and
bathing his face. After resting about ten
minutes he started on the return trip.
This was slower work, and a painful ens.
pcnsc hung over the crowds that watched
Heine. He took a course that seemed to
be free of ice and where the water did not
run very swift and poled his craft up
stream, his chief aim seeming to be to
keep out of reach of the boiling water that
was on either side of him rushing with
lightning speed toward the edge of the
falls. It could be seen from the shore that
he had a hard job. He seemed to be exv
crting all his strength. butif he did suffer
be gained his point, and passing the Ni-
agara Pails paper mill, drifted down again
and slowly turned into the quiet waters
of the canal. lie was then safe. Heine's
trip was made in 45 minutes. He prom-
ises better time at his next trip.

Violet and green appear to be the favor-

horsehair lace or insertion, very cleverly
checkered with an applique design of
cream or white loco, picked out with
spauglos and beads or with the tiny di-

Havana, via Key West, May 4.-—‘Au-
other case of Spanish outrage has been re
ported in writing to Consul General Wil-
llama by Pedro Casanova, a prominent
planter, who become an merlcnn citizen
In 1860. He is a man of gh character, a
law supporting, sub‘stant l resident. who
has built up the splendl Central Casano-
Jaruco by enterprise. in oiligenm and in-
dustry. lie owned at San Miguel de‘ Ja-
rucu, in addition to his residence, build-
lngs and machinery, all belonging to the
estate, a large, unfinished structure on a
hill, built by Casanovn's father and intend-
ed for a public school or church. Opposite
the railway station was a drug store,
which is now closed. Casanova lived at a
distance of four city blocks from the sta-
tion, which the rebels had passed many
times without molesting him. This seem-
ed to constitute the grievances of the
Spanish troops. ' '
The regiment stationed near by had
won the title of undertaken on account
of their methods, as wherever they passed
they left death. This regiment is in com-
mand of Major Fondevicla, whose officers
say be instructed them that whenever
shots were fired from a house their sol-
diers should kill all the occupants, lnclud~
ing men, women and children. They
obeyed the order to the letter.
Casanova's family consists of his wife,
three children, the oldest a girl/of 5. the
youngest a babe in arms, and a nephew,
Julio Vidal. a young man and a native
born American. Cnsanova’s story is as
follows:
“I have suffered great outrages at the
hands of the Spanish soldiers. The sol-
diers recently passed on 9 road, and my
wife called my attention the fact that
they had broken into a vacant house where
valuable property was stored and were
pulling things to pieces. Just then I saw
two officers coming toward the house. I
was very glad and went out to meet
them and invited them to enter the house
and refresh themselves. They' accepted
and said they liked coffee. While they
were drinking one or two soldiers came
and spoke to the captain, who asked me,
‘Who are the men in the sugar house?‘

“ ‘My en:ployees,' I replied, ‘includlng
one engineer. The others are engaged in
repairs.’ The captain said:
“ ‘I hear rebels are hidden there. I
must take the men before the major for
examination. The major himself will be
here today.‘
“After he left I found the door of the
house on thehill broken open. A quantity
of bottled beer had been taken, also my
saddles and bridles. and many other
things. Gloves and other articles of wom-
en’s apparel were tossed in the yard. I
Went to the station. The drug store look-
ed as if it had been visited bya mad bull.
All the shelves and drawers were thrown
‘out and smashed. An empty store up-
posite was in the same condition. The
counter was thrown down and the door
posts hacked by mnehetes. The large cof-
fco mill was broken and all was in disor-
der. An account of this work was what
the soldiers had whispered to the captain.
The officer had remarked to me with a
sneer, ‘Tbe insurgents are very kind to
you, ‘as no harm has been done here.’

in and dragged me out by the cost collar.

Taken Into Custody.
“An order was then given to take into
custody all the men on the estate. Near
a tree beyond a hill loo yards from the
house I stopped about iii paves from the
others to tail: to the captain. who had
been at the house the week before. At
that moment a young negro, Manual to

“While I was talking to the captain my
wife and 5-year-old child were begging
for mercy for me. The cavalrynicu helped
themselves to corn for their horses and
finally started. The oillrcrs told me that
my nephew's life and my own were only
spared because we ware Americans and
they did not want to get. into trouble with
the United States. They then ordered me
to leave San Miguel without waiting a
minimal.
"’l'hoir explanation of the raid was that
the rebels had fired upon the troops. and
that they saw one man run as he fired into
my house, and that under the maior‘s in-

been killed. My wife and children we
