they Do Great Damage to a Spanish Force
by Means of Dynamite. I
- Havana. M'ay ISL—General Ducassee,
who is in Pinar del Rio province, re-
ports that he recently had engagements
at Candelara and also at Guadalupe
Alonso Rosga. At the former place he
captured the town, and the small Span-
Ish garrisonwas forced to retreat. The
station was burned and a large portion
of, the railroad damaged. At Guadalupe
the fight was more serious. A large
Spanish detachment had been sent
from Pinar del Rio city to attack a
Cuban stronghold. They were ambush-
ed by the insurgent force under Del-
gado.
The Cubans had dynamite gun with
them. The first 11» tice of the firesence
of the enemy the-ISpaniards had was
the explosion of dynamite shells in their
ranks. These cut down the soldiers by
the dozens and created a panic at once.
The troops hurried to the shelter of the
wooded hill and there made a. stand.
The Cubans advanced and got in range
of the Spaniards. The dynamite shells
fell again among the Spaniards, cre-
ating considerable loss. At times the
shells hit trees and broke them into
flinders. Fragments flew in all direc-
tions, producing a scene of the “utmost
destruction. For a ha‘l f.- hour the gov-
‘ernment troops stood the bolnbard-
ment“ Then they broke wildly a d fled.
The Cubans pursued them, andla run—
ning fight ensued for several thrs.
A letter from a staff officer ofIS‘reneral
Ducassee says that the Spanish loss
was over 200 men and that the Dubans
captured a large number of arms and a
quantity of supplies, as well as a small
rapid fire gun. General Ducassee has
complete control of the province and
has established cultivated
where hundreds of pacificos are man-
aging to exist. Spanish troops never
venture out of the fortified towns ex-
cept in large numbers. Railroad travel
is almost entirely suspended, and it is
only carried on with armored cars.
Either pacificos or Cuban women, who
are held as captives, are placed in the
forward part .of the train in open
coaches, so that the Cubans can see
them and will not attack the train.

Hand’s Colic v
HAWAIIAN REGIPEZOGITY.
1173 Restoration to the Pending Tariff
Bill Is Considered Probable.
Washington, May 18. -—Several south-
ern senators have been informed by the
friends of the sugar schedule, as con-
structed by the finance committee, that
their interests will be made the subject
of reprisals if they do not vote for the
schedule. After this method of induc-
ing votes was used a. proposition was
made to the California senators to give
them the Hawaiian reciprocity clause
of the Dingley bill in exchange for their
support of the sugar schedule of the
finance committee. These circum-
stances are taken as a fair indication
of the coming contest on the various
schedules of the tariff bill. There is
no doubt of a safe majority in favorJof
passing the bill, but the form which
certain schedules shall have in the fin-
ished measure will be the subject of
some very shrewd trading between the
east and the west as represented in the
senate chamber.
It is said that Senator Aldrich of the
finance committee stated two days ago
that if the senate refuses to accept the
'committee’s sugar schedule there will
be no tariff bill passed at the present
session. Though it is now known that
the report is not true, it is quite certain
that Mr. Aldrich has set his heart on.
the sugar schedule as it now stands.
It is equally certain that he and the
other Republican senators who are in-
terested in that schedule are prepared
to entreat their western associates in
the senate for the purpose of carrying
it through. Some of the far western
senators have been threatened with re-
prisals affecting citrus fruits and other
coast products in which they are par-
ticularly interested in case they oppose
the Aldrich sugar tariff.
The probability grows stronger every
day that the Hawaiian reciprocity
clause of the present law will become a
part of the senate bill and that it will
be reaffirmed again by a. majority there.
From the freely expressed opinions of
many senators it appears that the ac—
tion of the finance committee in strik-
ing out the Hawaiian reciprocity clause
of the Dingley.bill does not represent
the prevailing sentiment in the senate.
The most vigorous opposition to the
Hawaiian treaty which a few weeks
ago it was expected would be exerted
by Senator Allen and others whoare
opponents of the Sugar trust will not
appear, probably, now that it is learned
the trust desires the abrogation of the
treaty. This fact makes the- vote of
three years ago, which was 5 to 1
against abrogation, likely to be repeat—
ed if the matter comes to a vote.
THE PIUTB OUTRAGES.
The \Vallahi lVould Like to Help Er-
terminate the Other Tribe.
Kingman, A. T., May 18.——T'he sher-
iff’s posse has returned to White Hills
from the chase after Ahvote, the Piute
Indian murderer. They report that the
body of Judge J. M. Morton was found
in a cabin at Goldbug, seven miles be—
low Eldorado canyon, shot through the
head. Ahvote was killed on Cottonwood
island in the Colorado river, 30 miles
below the canyon. The bodies of five
"of his victims have been found. Bop-‘-
uty Sheriff Rosbrough left here with a
posse to arrest Mouse, the other Piute
Indian murderer.
The Wallahi Indians held a big pow-
wow and expressed a desire to go out
and exterminate the southern Nevada
band of Piutes. They say that for
years Indians reported the killing of
whites by this band of renegades. Chief
Levy offered the services of 100 war—
riors to the whites for the purpose of
driving all the Piutes away from the
Colorado river.
Insurgents In Uruguay Rented.
Montevideo. May ISL—A battle lasting

Died Aft-er Being Beaten by Thugs.
Albany, May 18.—Ex-Supervisor Pat-

liam Collins, John Hayden and Michael
O’Connor were arrested. The autopsy
showed that death was due to conges-
tion of the lungs. ’
Floods Cause an Assignment.
