Dispatches from Puertc Principe today

The rebels came from the south and at-

government troops and put to flight, but

on the bridge. -

Lennon, Jan. 2.—Aconrding to the ofii-
cials of the foreign oilicc'here and the
Spanish ambassador to London, there is
no truth in the report which has reached
Caracas, Venezuela, from Bogota, repub-
lic of Colombia, that the Spanish and
British ministers have been summarily
expelled from Bogota or from Colombia.
in which this was not true. The first was
the burning of the Solidad plantations,
belonging to Henry Atkins of Boston, and
the second occurred this week in the burn- _
ing of the. famous Santana plantation,
owned by Mr. Auza, a prominent Phila-
delphian. Mr. Auza refused to pay the
tax levied by the insurgents, and 25,000
sores of beautiful cane Were burned and
the costly buildings and machinery de-
stroyed. The machinery was new, having
been brought here from the United‘States
but a year ago. it was considered the
finest in Cuba.
Several other large estates in the same
vicinity, San Luis, were destroyed also,
and at Guantanamo the big plantation
belonging to the English firm of Brooks
8:. Co. was destroyed, despite the fact that
the firm had paid a tax to the insurgents
of $50,000.
In some sections where the insurgents
haVe not as yet appeared several mills
have been destroyed by dynamite, and in
a few instances workmen have been killed.
At first everybody was at a loss to know
how the explosions were occasioned, but
it has since been learned that dynamite
cartridges had been placed in the standing
stocks of sugar cone in the field, and this,
upon being ground at the mill, exploded.
Many planters, fearing this, have closed
down their mills.

We take no thought of it till it ceases.

we wind the clock and set it going. How
