HAVANA, Aug. 30. -—Tbe: Sisters of
Mercy are going to be moved from the"
Convent of Santa Clara, this city,¢in or-
der that the children of the foundling asy- .
lum may be housed there. The building
occupied by the‘cbildren will be converted
Into a military hospital. ' '
A small fort on the railroad, about 18
kilometers from Holguin, has been at-
tacked by a numerous band of insurgents
under Gomez and Calixto Garcia. The"
enemy surrounded the fort, and the bugle
signals of the garrison were answered, it
being the intention of the inpurgents to
get asynear as possible by pretending: to be
Spaniards.
The ruse was discovered, however” and
the enemy was greeted with volleys from
the garrison. The insurgents replied with
cannon, and a three hours’ 'fight occurred,
during which four of the soldiers were
‘ killed and five wounded. Eventuallygthe
artillery fire of the insurgents ’destroyed
the greater part of the fort, and its little
garrison retreated slowly to Fort J otabo,
situated aconsiderable distance away, and
reached there safely with their wounded,
their arms and ammunition.
Dispatches received" here from Holguin,
province of Santiago de Cuba, say there
has been no communication between that
place and Gibara, the port north of Hol-
guin, With which it is connected by rail-
road since Aug. 16. Atrain which started
for Gibara yesterday afternoon returned
upon finding eight dynamite shells on'I-the
line. The guard Of the train was inform-
ed that the insurgents ‘were ambushed-far-
ther on and intended to attack it andxblow‘
up the cars. >
" Two iron bridges between Aguas Claras,
Auras and Gibara were blown. up. The
insurgents were in sight of the wooden
fort erected to protect the railroad.
It is reported that Calixto Garcia is en-
camped between Holguin and Las Tunas.
. He is apparently'pn'route to Céniaguey.
Consul General Lee-has no information
in reference to Mr. Churchill, nor do
Americans here know anything that
would confirm the sensational report wired
from Boston. Captain General Weyler
could not be seen, but Palmerola, the sec-
retary general, and various members of
the military stall talked- They consider
the allegations so trivial ‘as to be unworthy
of serious notice.
Paper Money Wanted.
La Discusion, which several months
ago Was the first among the Havana press
to relieve the financial stress of; Spain, »
newstronglysfupportsthe same idea, in-
sisting that new bills should, be based-upon
such ample nfi‘rantees that they Winsom-
mand genera .acceptancb at pm. It thinks
that a timely redemption is assured by
the future tax receipts of theisland as‘a’
privilege of collection, which the banks
would hold as collateral. In addition it
pointsout that metal deposits, one—third
face'jvalue of the bills, could be placed by
the govern‘mentin its vaults if successive
installments of the new currency are put
intocirculation. ' _ ,
Special dispatches from Madrid an-
nounce a rumor that Minister Taylor is
negotiating with the Duke of Tetuau for
a new commercial treaty between the
United States and the Spanish West 'Indian
_ possessions. The Competitor question is
still pending. The Spanish senate has ap-
proved the renewal ofthe lease of the Al-
maden quicksilver mines from the Roths-
child‘s syndicate.
Captain General Weyler’s proposed de-
cree to forbid planters to make any at-
tempts to save their incoming sugar, cof-
fee, cocoa and tubacai' crops and virtually
apprpvi g General Gomei’s threat to par-
alyze t e agricultural and commérei'al in-
terests of the island while the n-
tinues, is creating a big sensatio nd a
panic is threatened.
It is rumored that Marquis Apezctguia,
the president of the Spanish Conservative
party on the island and a leading sugar
producer, headed a committee. of Spanish
planters and merchants who called at the
palace to protest. Captain General Weyler
denied them a hearing. I
Then, it is alleged, a secret meeting was
'held, at which it was decided to send tele-
grams to Spain, demanding the recall of
General Weyler and asking that General
Polvieja be sent to succeed him.
A Protest From General Lee.
Americans here are highly indignant
over an official notice posted at the en-
trance to Cabanas castle singling out Con-
sul General Lee for exclusion and instruct-
ing the guards on duty, in the event that
he shouldtcall there to see American pris-
oners, to arrest him and take him before
General Oliver, governor of the prison.
rIlhe consul, when told the news, disbe-
lieved it, but subsequent investigation
confirmed t‘hestory of the notice. He sent
a strong note of protest to the captain
general against the unexplained discrimi-
nation and insisting that if other foreign
consuls be allowed to see‘their countrymen
equal privileges be extended to ours. Gen-
eral Lee also called the captain general’s
attention to the case of the American
newspaper correspondent, Gavin, and de-
manded that the latter be produced if
' alive and if dead that the officer who or-
dered the prisoner’s assassination be pun-
ished. '
The newspapers bitterly complained in
the name of humanity against the bad
food being supplied by the gogernment to
the prisoners in ‘Cabanas fortress, where
the Americans now held by the military
authorities are confined.

Prince's Valet Said to Have Bumped His
Master’s Head on‘tli'e ~ll‘loor.
WASHINGTON, Aug. SOL—'If'the latest ru-
mor is to be believed, Prince Augustin
Yturblde is by no means "a hero to his
valet. AocOrding to this rumor, the lat-
ter, a stout, good looking young Irishman,
named Thomas Carney, bumped the
prince’s head against the floor at the
prince’s rooms, the cause, it is alleged, be-
ing a paltry few hundred dollars'back
Wages. .-
Yturbide would have got off more easily
had-he not tried, it is stated, to punch‘
Carney’s nose when he mentioned the
matterbf wages. But he did, and Carney, /
so the story goes, hiplocked the prince,
threw him and then beat a tattoo on the
‘floor with the prince’s head until the
prince yelled “Enough !”
Now the valet spreads the story that he
is going to tell a lot of interesting things
if Yturbidc does not pay up. , ‘ .
Prince Yturbide is getting to be a pain-
ful subject in Washington society. There
is more than a whisper among the club-
ites that he has been sent to Coventry by
the Army and Navy club and by the Met-
ropolitan club for inattention to the pay-
ment of dues. Last year he ‘became in-
volved in a quarrel withIColonel Robert
Neville at the Metropolitan club over his
prowess as a horseman. ' . -.
Yturbide claimed that he could do cer-
tain feats, which Neville calmly told him
were impossible. A“ duelwas threatened,
but anxious friends were never able to get
the parties into the field.
Later Yturbide was mentioned in con-
nection with a- lot of scurrilous .letters
which had been sent to Mrs. S. S. How-
land, Mrs. Senator Wolcott and Mrs. Hen-
ry May: When called to account, Ytur-
hide, it is said, promptly declared that
they were written by Miss May Williams,
an estimable young lady of good family,
whose engagement with him had but re-
cently been broken ofi‘, but Washington so-
ciety tOok Miss Williams’ side of the con-
troversy with startling unanimity.
