A Spanish Warship Destroyed and a. ~
Garrison Town Captured.
SOME DESPERATE FIGHTING. .
A Hand to Hand Conflict In Which the
Brave Patriots Proved Their Valor.
Havana Ofliclals Are Excited
Over the Dual Defeat.
HAVANA, Jan. 25.—In Cayamos, prov-
ince of Matanzas, near Cardenas, the in.
surgents have Obtained a remarkable tri-
umph, which is now the topic of all Ha.-
vana. The Spanish gunboat Cometa has
been blown up by the Cubans at that place,
and the town of Cayamos has been de-
stroyed after a. fierce engagement.
The Cometa was one of the fastest gun-
boats used in the island service by the
Spanish navy. She carried two cannon
and a crew of 50 men.
The attack made by the insurgents on
the gunboat was a surprise. The boat
was anchored near the shore, and there
was nothing to indicate the possibility of
an attack. A heavy fire from the shore
suddenly announced to the Cometa’s crew
the proximity of the enemy.
The fire was returned immediately, and
the Comcta drew nearer land so as to use
her cannon with greater effect. A few
moments later, however, she struck a tor-
pedo and was blown to pieces.
Few men of the crew escaped. It is said
here that only six of them are still alive.
They surrendered to the insurgents when
they reached the shore.
Burned the Town.
The sinking of the finnboat was imme-
diately followed by the attack upon Caye-
mos. The insurgents used a dynamite gun
and explosive bombs with the greatest ef-
fect, and the Spanish garrison soon sur- I
rendered. Then the patriots reduced the
town to ashes.
Large Spanish forces which were near
Cayamos did not dare to go to the relief of
the garrison, they Were so frightened by
the explosives.
In Havana this news will be mentioned
tomorrow by the newspapers, because it is
impossible to conceal it. They will say
that it is a matter of no consequence. A
small gunboat was surprised and was
practically defenseless, as she had no ade—
quate armament. The news has created a
great sensation here.
The continual use of explosives here by
the Cubans and their last successes at San-
tiago de Cuba, together with the alfair of
the Cometa, have thrown the Spanish sol-
diers into a state of terror. The columns
do not dare now to make long incursions
into the interior of the island.
The Cometa was one of the most power-
ful of the smaller Spanish vessels in Cu-
ban watcrs and has been cruising near
Cardenas to prevent the landing of filibus:
tering expeditions. For some time she has
been accustomed to anchor at night off
Sierra Morra. The place where the gun-
boat anchored was favorable for an attack
from the shore, and so the insurgents de-
termined to capture or destroy her.
. Weyler’s Tactics.
By orders of General Weylcr the ten offi-
cers of the garrison of Guanabacoa who
were captured by the rebel Aranguren will
be court martialed, nine for traveling un-
armed in war time and one for not resist-
ing capture, though armed.
General chler’s order that all owners
and managers of plantations who cannot
show areceipt for the payment of taxes up
to date must leave their plantations is
causing great hardships. The deserted
plantations are immediately sacked and
ruined by marauders and irregulars of
both parties.
Hitherto the rule has been not to exact
taxes on estates except when making crops
and grinding cane, which is now forbid-
den. The interests of American citizens
are especially affected, claims being filed
at the United States consulate which will
aggregate many millions.
Clemencia Arango, a girl of 21, sister of
the rebel chief, Raul Arango, has been or-
dered to leave Havana in ten days; other-
wise she will be incarcerated in a house
with fallen women. .
Smallpox is increasing. There are no
reliable official figures, nor are there any
intelligent sanitary arrangements to com-
bat the epidemic. There were 175 deaths
last week, and there are now 5,000 cases of
the disease in Havana,including convales-
cents.

but Keeps Her Own Counsel.
WASHINGTON, Jan. :5.——Liliuokaram,
HaWaiian ex—quccn, arrived here rather
unexpectedly yesterday. Her intention to.
.visit Washington at this time had not been
as any one’s could be.
Miss Kia Nahaolelena and Mr. Joseph
Helelulie of Honolulu and Mr. J. N.
Palmer of Boston, the queen was driven
direct to the Hotel Shorcham. Rather fa-
tigucd by her trip, she retired and refused
herself to all callers. Concerning her visit,
Mr. Palmer said:
“The queen is traveling in her capacity
as a private lady, and I have no doubt that
she will foliow the same rule here that she
did in Boston in declining any official at-
tention. ”
“How long does she expect to stay in
Washington?’ ’
“I have not the slightest idea. The
queen enjoys travel immensely and is vis-
iting Washington precisely as any private
person might do. ”
“Will she be given an audience with the
president while she is here?”
“As to that I really cannot say. She
has not said a word on the subject, and I
do not even know that she would desire an
audience. ”
“Is she on her way back to Honolulu?”
“I cannot say anything on that point
either. If she has anything at all for the
future, she has not taken me into her con-
fidence. I do not know how long she will
be in Washington, where she will go when
she leaves or whether I shall go with her.”
Though the length of the queen’s stay
here is indefinite, she is likely to go from
here to Philadelphia and after visiting
several other cities start homeward. Her
present plan is to get to Hawaii in the
spring.
BOOMING DUBOIS.
Chairman Jones Urges His lie-election to
the United States Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—Senator Jones,
chairman of the Democratic national com~
Imittee, has sent a telegram to Secretary
Walsh, who is in Idaho, saying in the
, strongest terms that party expediency de-
, mended that the Democrats in the Idaho
, legislature vote for Dubois. Following is
the text of Senator Jones’ message:
I Upon full consultation on the situation
3 We believe that the controversy in Idaho
today is the same that was fought in the
last campaign—that the interest of the na-
tional Democracy demands the election of
Dubois, who, with Teller and others, led
the Silver Republicans out of the Repub-
lican party. His defeat by Democratic
votes or by the failure to obtain them will
not only afiect our party in the senate, but
will weaken and dissipate our strength in
the west and central west. We regard his
election of supreme importance. Can we
present a stronger argument to our broth-
er Democrats of Idaho?
BOISE CITY, J an. 25.~—The last vote
taken was Claggett, 2S; Dubois, 26; Nel-
son, 13; J. C. Rogers. 2.
GAGE WOULD ACCEPT.
But He Hasn’t Been Asked and Won’t Be
Disappointed if He Isn’t.
CHICAGO, Jan. Six—The following state-
ment has been given to the press by Mr.
Lyman J. Gage:
In view of statements and queries now
current in the public press relating to my
name in connection with the secretaryship
of the treasury, I deem it propre to say:
First—That I have not been tendered
the appointment to that position.
Second—Should that ofiice be tendered
to me I should not feel at liberty to de-
cline it.
Third—If Mr. McKinley is considering
my name in connection with the treasury
portfolio but shall finally determine upon
some other man for that high office, I shall
feel no sense of disappointment or chagrin,
but shall congratulate myself that such a
personal sacrifice in many directions is not
required of me. LYMAN J. GAGE.
She Died With Her Children.
William Croyle was completely destroyed

two children, were burned to death. While
the fire was raging Mrs. Croyle threw two
of their children from the second story to
her husband and then returned for the re—
maining two children. She was not seen

all that remained of the mother and two
children was their charred trunks. One
of the rescued children will die. The fa-
ther is also badly burned.

MILLIE’S CATAPULT LEG.
Two Reckless Policemen Come in Contact
vith a New Kind of Weapon. . '
“My, mother was a. lady, sir,” roared
Millie Archibald, as she went swinging
up Minetta Lane about 1 o’clock in the
morning, accompanied by a wooden leg
and a violent jag, which she was mo-
mentarily increasing.
‘ ‘just the same as yours.”
Her remarks were di-
rected at Policeman Ma-
hafiy, of the Charles
Street Station House,
who informed her that
her maternal ancestor
must have lost control
of her at a tender age.
Millie paid no atten-
' - tion to the protestations
4? of the policeman (lon-
cerning her hilarity, but insisted that
she had a right to occupy as much of
the street as was in sight. She raised
ment houses, and, after carefully sur-
veying the situation, Mahaffy decided
to call his friend~in~arms, Policeman
Gallagher, to assist him in taking pos-
session of Millie.
‘ ‘Stand ofi? there. you
g blue-coated bums, or
2, I’ll give both of you
9 the half-hitch. Chase
yourself.”
, _ . Then the two police-
, . men, calling all the
skill they possessed
. - 1ntorequisition,closed
in on Millie, and
dragged her shriek-
ing toward the sta-
J tion house. But, be-
'J inga Tartar as well as
a lody. she flopped down on the side-
walk and informed the policemen that
if Magistrate Wentworth wished to see
her he could come along whenever he
got ready, and that she would be on
hand. Mahafiy very foolishly laughed,
as did also Gallagher. ‘
“Close yourjaw, Mahaify, or I’ll shoot
the ImiIOllS off yer uniform. Shut your
face. G rllagher, oryou’ll get it, too.”'
Then the policemen
1fruit-lined again. Reck—
less men they, for the
next instant Millie
pointed her timber
limb at Mahaify,
'lapped her hand on
on her hip and the
wooden appendage
left her soiled and
- bedraggled skirts en
route tor Mahaffy’s stomach, which it
struck with a violence that doubled the
bluecoat up and caused him to emit re-
marks not down in the manners manual
of the Police Department. It then
glanced off, took a fall out of Gallagher
and bounded against a building, falling
back in the neighborhood of Millie, who
reached for it, and was preparing to
load up again when Mahaify, skilled in
his art, rose in the air and pounced up-
on Millie and her weapon in time to
avert another shower of scantlings
from her body.
She was dragged off to the station
house, leg, jag and abuse, but refused
to explain the mechanism of her bat
tering ram—New York Journal.
One Hot December Day.

test day I ever knew in winter.” said

clubmeu came in this morning. blow-
ing their cold fingers and stamping
their chilled feet.
“In what year?”

asked a younger
, Then about noon it cleared off, and the
thermometer, which had indicated, a
temperature of 70 degrees, suddenly
rose to about 80 degrees, at which it
remained all the rest of the day. Even
the night failed to bring relief, and
during the evening it was curious to
note the citizens of Utica sitting by
their open windows vainly striving for
a breath of fresh air.”
“But how do you remember seer-
actly what took place so long ago?"
“By connecting it with an event of
historical interest, which is not likely
ever to pass from my mind.”
“And what is it?”

An Aged Goldfish.
The goldfish is not as tender an ani-
mal as is imagined, for in handling
and moving them from one pond to an-
other they are dipped up in nets and
carried about in baskets, much like
corn or potatoes. Sometimes they are
out of the water thirty minutes, and
seldmn is it that they are injured.
How l'rrig‘ they will live depends alto-
gciilu-r‘ on their treatment. In the gov-
ernment aquarium at Washington isa
goldfish that is known to be fifty years
of age, and it is not perceptibly larger
than when first placed there. There
{is said to be in the Royal Aquarium at
. tome. ltuly. a fish that is more than a
hundred years of age, but it has grown
slightly in the lust twenty-five years."
Its color is the same except a slight
changr will: the seasons—Indianapo-

A “’eird Story.
A weird story is floating about to the
effect that four American millionaires
have recently had made at Sheffield,
Eng, steel waistcoats and coats which
are warranted to secure them immu-
nity from death in ordinary cases of
attempts at assassination. The armor
is of chain mail, so light that when
one has worn it a week or two it is
no incumbrance to him, and strong
ellOllgll to turn a dagger or sword
thrust. though it would not stop a bul—
let. A number of English statesmen.
