HOW Some Spanish CZcials Add to Their Income In Havana. GEN. Werner. GOING SOUTE A Rousing Cuban Victory In the Province of Plnar del Tito, Which “7215 Official- ly Declared to Be “Pacified” Several Days Ago. NEW YORK, Jan. 28.——Delbert A. Cleve- land of Norwalk, 0., who arrived on the steamship churuncia, having been sent from Havana by Consul General Fitz Hugh ‘ Leo withcight companions of tho wrecked propeller -Elsa, says of the situation in Cuba: “The city of Havana presents in general‘ its usual appearance. The streets are ani— mated, traffic is in progress, the shops are guy, the military bands play in the early evenings, all the world and his sweetheart are on hand in the same old way, vehicles abound; only the harbor, one observes, is nearly doscrtod. Large bodies of soldiers, well dressed, of all arms, their officers handsomely uniformed, are very much in The officers have plenty of money and spend it as soldiers will who are mas- ters of the situation. The misc on scene is irreproachablo. Your Spaniard has an adequate notion of the tIrmtric. “Behind the scones—«that is, outside of Havana—another story is told. The sol- diers actually in the field are nearly naked, half fed, down with disease, dying by thou- sands. Numbers arc observed armed with the remington carbine, an arm unauthor- ized for years. The country is devastated. The people, emaciated and fever shaken, are perishing of famine. Columns of fire by night and pillars of smoke by day mark the paths of patriot and of butcher. The interpretation is plain—tho value of com- missariat and medical stores has been stolen by the gay officers who are lavishing it upon the beauty and at the gambling tables of Havana. Others have pocketed the price of $27 firearms and substituted discarded rcmingtons at $4.50. It is all an old story, old as Cervantes, leading to a common and uniform end—ruin. ” illilitary Blackmail. ”You scarcely meet an American or an Englishman on the street. great many Germans. I could not tell a. Frenchman or Italian from .a Spaniard, and do not know whether there are many of either or not. What I learned about trade I will set down here without saying where I got it, but it is true. Every two or three days a. military person appears at a merchant’s store and demands $50 or $100 or some other sum, gold, as extra taxes. It is handed over. If the merchants can only save the value of their present stocks of goods, it is as much as they hope to do. They feel compelled to make some pur- chases to avoid suspicion, but they buy as little as they can. “Persons arrested arc marched through- the streets chained in pairs by heavy chains around the neck. There is no explanation. Their property is seized, and that is thought to be often the reason of the ar- rest. Therefore merchants are very carc- ful not to come under suspicion. No one will saya word about public affairs ex- cept in a secret place such as a private office, and then only after making very sure that no one can hear.” Hot Battle In Pinar del Rio. KEY WEST, Jan. 28.—Havana news rc- ceivcd here reports a. battle at Las Manges, Pinar dcl Rio province, on Thursday, be- tween one of General San Martin’sdetach- ments and the troops of insurgents com- 111 an dcd by the brothers Delgado. The place has a Spanish garrison of 200 men. The Del- gado men began the attack, and word was sent by the Spaniards to San Martin for aid. On the way the column had to cross a deep creek through a narrow defile. Tho Cubans undermined the bridge and hid on the roadside beside the thick brush. As the Spaniards~ came upon the bridge it went down and precipitated 30 men into the water. The regular formations were broken in the attempt to rescue the sol— diers in the water. The Cubans poured in a destructive fire and then, shouting “Cuba librc!” charged fiercely with machetes. The Spaniards could not retreat, and the fight was hot and bloody. Major Andrea, the Spanish ofiiccr, was killed, with two of his lieutenants. The troops suffered torri- bly, tho Cubans hacking their way through them toward the colors, where a more des- perate hand to hand /cncounter occurred, but the Cubans captured the flag, and tth the Spaniards fled. ' The troops at Los Mangas, hearing the firing, made a demonstration, and the Cu- bans, fearing to be caught between two fires, retreated, carrying off their dead and wounded. The Spanish loss is reported as over 100, while the Cubans did not lose over 15 men. , At the palace in Havana the report was sent in from Las Manges of a Spanish vic- tory, but it added, “ The Spanish troops left the field before the insurgents did.” “Official” “'31- News. HAVANA, Jan. 2S.——At 2 a. m. on Jan. 24 the insurgents dynamitcd the iron bridge over the Tunicu river at Saguc, and traffic is suspended.

ST v-—TIlo senatorial I ballot hcrc resulted as follows: Walton (Pop. ), 2S); Dubois (811. Rep), 26; Nelson (Pop. ), 1:3; scattering, 2. The only change of moment from the previous ballot on Saturday was that tho Populists left Claggott and throw their votes to Wal— ton. The Populists and Democrats are no nearer an agreement than they were two weeks ago. Dubois holds his 26 silver Re- publican votes, and his Populist support- ers said that the Democrats would soon weary of their efforts at con'il‘2imtt'..._. with the Populists and throw their strength to Dubois, and so give him the 36 votes neces- sary to elect.

IN PRIGEJ --0ffice and Factory, Pacific Street-- ’ " STAMFORD, CONN} ' ' ' time?” A WONDERFUL TRIOKI MAGICIAN HERMANN’S CATCHrive OF BULLETS EXPLAINED. How the Minster of Mystery Was, Able to Escape Unharmeg from the Fire of Expert National Guardsmen, fi‘lio Loaded Their Own Guns. 1 Now that Herrman the Great is gone, there can be no harm in explain— ing the bullets shot at him by six Na.- tional Guardsmen was done. On two occasions the famous prestio digitateur stood alone upon the stage, while six picked marksmen from the State 'National Guard fired point blank upon him from a platform built in the audience. On both occasions Herr- mnnn, pale of face and painfully alert, caught the bullets, previously marked by a committee of noted army men, and handed them back for identifica- tion. . Of course it was a trick, but it was a dangerous trick, and one that Herr- mann disliked to do. But even he was less nervous than. the marksmcn, who, acting in perfect good faith, feared that they might kill the plucky magi- cian. Many have been the alleged explana- tions of this trick published in various newspapers. They have all been wrong. llcrrmann himself told how it was done, and here it is:— .- Of course there 'as an accomplice, and this accomplice was not one of the marksmen, but the sergeant in charge of them. This sergeant took the six regulation army bullet cartridges on a silver platter to the committee. The committee examined them, made sure they were genuine, marked them plainly and replaced them on the plat- ter. The sergeant instantly raised the platter in plain sight at arm’s length above his'hend, walked over to the marksmen, and they themselves each took a cartridge, examined itand placed it in the rifle. ’ ‘hen came the shootinv. The trick lay in the platter, which had a false bottom. Under this bot- tom lay six other cartridges, identical in size, weight and appearance, but holding bullets made of a composition of plumbago and mercury. \Vhen the sergeant held the platter touched a spring and by a clever me— chanism these six “fake” cartridges jumped into the platter, while the gen- uine cartridges disappeared beneath the false bottom. So it was the composition cartridges that the marksmen unknowingly put into their rifles, and on firing this com- position was instantly melted by fric- tion through the barrels and dissipated in the air. Meantime, however, the supposedly empty platter was taken behind the wings, where the ‘genuine cartridges were drawn out, quickly heated and carefully placed by an attendant on a table, where Herrmann, just before the firing, carelessly picked them up and palmed them. Holding them in his hands during the firing, he imme- diately produced them as. the smoke cleared. A, simple trick, but a very dangerous one, for if the platters mechanism failed to work completely, one or more of the genuine cartridges might have got into the rifles of the marksman:— New York Herald.
