' THE CUBAN SMON
Very Hopeful View Given In a
Letter From the Island.
REGENT ATTACK ON ARTEMISA
The City Was Partially l>estrnyed bat
Maceo Made No KfiLnt to Force a Pas
sage of the Famous Trocha—Cubans
-Not Desirous of Making War l«i Havana
Province at This Time.
Philadelphia. Nov. 3.—Private let
ters received iu this city from-Havana
throw light upon recent events in the
island of Cuba. One in particular deals
with late occurrences in Pinar del Rio,’
and gives a very hopeful view of the
present Cuban situation.
This lettter says that Antonio Maceo
has not attempted to reach Havana
province, and that although he made an
attack upon the city of Artemsia, which
was partially destroyed, he did not en
deavor to force a passage of the famous
trocha. On the other hand, it is stated
in the communication, which is from
Captain Delgado, who recently was iu
this city, and who is an officer of Gen
eral Maceo’s staff, that the rebel army
in Pinar del Rio province is not desirous
of making war in Havana and Matau
zas at this time. Both of these prov
inces are comparatively low and flat,
and the effect of the copious rains upon
the soil is still detrimental to the proper
handling of an army. The letter reads:
••To be with the Cuban army in Pinar
del Rio does not mean that one is en
tirely cut off from communication with
the outside world. The mail system of
the republic is not in operation in this
province, but the carriers of our com
mander reach Havana as regularly as
do trains in the Graud Central station
of New York.
Amused the Cubans.
••Among the accounts that furnished
us with the most amusement was that
published iu The Diario de la Marina
concerning %n attack upon Artemisa a
teyr days ago. I hear that the same re
port was sent to the United States and
published as news. Still, after my visit
terNew York, Philadelphia and Wash
ington, I feel that the readers of Amer
ican papers have learned to discern the
difference between Spanish and Cuban
news.
“At Artemisa the fight was well car
ried ou, and some of our heavy guns
were used to splendid advantage. We
did not attempt to pass the trocha, for
it was not a part of General Maceo’s
program. Artemisa was quite-strongly
entrenched, and more than *4,000 men
were there garrisoned. ' Maceo did not
attack with his entire force, but desired
to give practice to the artillery. The
enemy was amazed, I am sure, for dur
ing nearly two hours there was no re-
I sponse from the town.
H “General Maceo personally directed
K the attack. We retired in good order
B about midnight, after the artillery of
V the enemy had shelled our position. I
„do not know the enemy's loss, but our
killed numbered 80. We left no dead
on the field, but carried all of the bodies
away. Among the killed was Major
Perez, who has been one of our best
officers.
Macao's Force Increased.
•'Maceo’s force does not now amount
to so much cavalry, but it has been in
creased more than 2,800 since the ar
rival of the two expeditions."
Lieutenant Colonel Fondeviela se
■cured information that the insurgents
had a camp in the neighborhood of Oog
imar, near Guanabacoa, which is just
■opposite the city of Havana. He went
in pursuit of the insurgents, but they
were warned of the movements of the
| column. They encamped between Pe
nalvar and Oambute, and counter
marched by Donna Felicia to the moun
tains of Guanabo.
Lieutenant Colonel Fondeviela pur
, sued and overtook the insurgents as
they were passing the River Baracu
l>oyo He took the positions that they
held at Bodega Sitio, in the mountains
of Guanabo, and put to the bayonet the
last of them in their retreat. The loss
of the insurgents was 52 killed, while
on the Spanish side the columu lost one
captain and 14 privates wounded.
DAUNTLESS FINED AGAIN.
The Persecution of the Alleged Cuban
Filibusterer Still Continues.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 3.—lt hae
, just been learned that Collector of Cus
toms Baltzell of the port of Fernandina,
has, by instructions from the treasury
department, levied another fine of SSOC
against the steamer Dauntless for viola
ting the navigation laws on her last
trip.
The treasury department evidently
has it in for the little steamer and will
give her owner all the trouble possible
before he can again get possession of
the Dauntless. The capture of this
steamer by the Raleigh is the first case
on record where the government has
•ent one of its large, armored cruisers j
to arrest a little bobtailed tug for not
having its lights burning. The captains
of towboats are now afraid to go out
side the St. John’s river at night to look
for a tow, for there is a chance that if
their lights should accidentally go out a
United States warship would swoop
down upon them and take them into
custody.
The fines against the Dauntless now
amount to |1,200 and it is possible that
several more may be added. The owner
of the vessel is willing to pa v the S2OO
fine, but will not pay the others until
proof has been submitted that the navi
gation laws have been violated.
HUAYAQUII.’S GREAT FIRE,
Detailed Account of O.ie of the Worst
Hlbspm In the World** History.
Panama, Nov. 3.—The Star and Her
-aid publishes the following detailed ac
count of the conflagration at Guaya
quil:
“On the night of Oct. 5 the port and
city of Guayaquil was visited by per
haps the greatest fire in history—if we
\ except that of Nero’s Rome.
“The fire is stated to have originated
‘in a suspicious manner iu the store of
MaMauovich A Bowski. two
North American Jews. Their store was
located about the center of the city. At
the time a strong breeze known as ‘el
morrow' was blowing, and it did not
subside for 80 hours, long after the fiery
element had devastated the whole city
to the north and northwest. About two
thirds of the house property and nearly
the whole of the commercial quarter
were destroyed. The only four banks
iu the city were razed as also three out
of the four newspaper offices, the cus
tomhouse—-containing some $1,000,000
worth of goods—and the church of St.
Domingo, a relic of the Spanish occupa
tion.
“The gre spread with indescribable
rapidity, and at no time was the fire de
partment able to cops with it. It sim
ply burned itself out. The blaze lasted
fully 32 hour 1. Only five peo
ple have been known to have lost their
lives. It was stated that in a launch,
laden with furniture, which caught fire
and was swept down with the tide to
the island of Puna, five sisters of the
Sacred Heart perished, but this could
not be verified.
“It is estimated that 8,030 persons
were rendered homeless and that the
house property destroyed aggregates
$15,000,000. Goods destroyed amount
to $15,000,000, and the loss to the insur
ance companies is about $3,500,000.
About a fortnight after the fire the
vaults of the banks destroyed were
opened, and all securities, etc., were
found intact.
“A Ijill has been introduced into the
Colombian congress appropriating $30,-
000 in gold to be devoted to the sufferers
of the recent Guayaquil fire."
The Star and Herald also says:
“Owing to the frequency of suicides
in Chili the daily newspapers of Valpa
raiso and Santiago propose to suspend
the publication of all details respecting
such crimes. It is hoped that this may
exercise some influence toward reducing
the number of suicides.”

port For the Mouth of October.
Washington, Nov. 3 —The treasury

ceipts and expenditures for the fiscal
year to date and for October has been

or $8,387,000 greater than for the cor
responding period of 1895.

$58,143,000 iu the first third of 1895 to
$46,966,000 for the corresponding period
of 1896. Internal revenue receipts are

BISHOP F. R. WYNNE DEAD.
Expired While on the Way to Fetch e
Doctor For Hia Wife, Who Alto Died.
Dublin, Nov. 3 The Right Rev.
Frederick R. Wynne. D. D., Episcopal
bishop of Killaloe, Kilfenora, Colonfert
and Kilmackdnagh, was found dead on
the sidewalk near his residence in this
city. The wife of the Bishop of Killa
loe was found dead in her bedroom soon
after the body of the bishop was dis
covered on the sidewalk.
An investigation of the strange death
of the Bishop of Killaloe and his wife
shows that the prelate recently left Kil
laloe for his home in Dublin, on account
of his wife’s health, and had left the
house to fetch a doctor for her at abont
5:30 a m. when he fell dead near his
residence. His wife must have died
soon after the bishop left the house.

William Niven, the Well Known Mineral
ogitst, Found Tremendous Pyramid*
That Serve ! a* Fortresses and Were Ab
solutely Impregnable—•» What He Dis
covered In the Chamber*.
New York, Nov. 3.—William Niven,
a well known New York mineralogist,
who has been in Mexico for some
months on a tour of exploration, writes
that he has been more than ordinarily
successful, and when he returns he pro
poses to exhibit some photographs that
will be surprising. A few years ago he
made a similar trip, and the pictures he
secured at that time are now iu the Mu
seum of Natural History.
Mr. Niven has visited the site of a
dead city known as Teuchomictlepan
This place was an important town
among the Aztecs before the discovery
of America. It is situated about 200
miles from Chilpanzingo, in a region
little known and inhabited by Indians.
It was first discovered by miners search
ing in the mountains thereabouts for
minerals. In the vicinity are many
temples and pyramids intended as places
of worship.
Some of these largo pyramids were
built by utilizing huge hills. After the
hills were cut down into regular shapes,
rectangular and slanting to a small
square at the top on which the temple
was erected, the sides were covered with
granite and arranged like stairsteps.
When attacked by an enemy the Aztecs
would retreat to the top of a pyramid
and there they were safe, as no army
could climb the pyramids in the face of
the defense the men at top cbuld offer.
Mr. Niven has written a letter to a
friend iu New York, in which he says:
“I have dug into some of the subter
ranean chambers of the larger buildings
and found them filled with broken
pieces of plater, painted bright red and
white, and on the floors beads, axes,
idols and broken pottery. In an excava
tion which I made at the place called
Guayabo I found at the depth of 9 feet
from the surface, under the altar,
an olla or jar of terracotta filled
with dirt, and mixed with it were
72 objects of mother-of-pearl, all
perforated. Five of them were heads of
kings, with crowns nicely carved.
The olla, unfortunately, was broken by
the peon’s pick, but I picked up the frag
ments and saved half the olla intact
with the dirt and objects sticking to it
undisturbed. I found also, at other
places, the bones of strange animals,
some of which I have preserved. I
found the ruins of 20 temples around
Teuchomictlepan. ”
Paris, Nov. 3.—A man named Le
maire, who was out of work, shot and
seriously wounded a policeman with a
revolver in the Rue Des Petit Champs.
Another policeman was shot in the
shoulder. When Lemaire was finally
overpowered he declared himself to be
an anarchist. The police have seised a
lot of anarchist documents and litera
ture at his lodgings. It has been ascer
tained that Lemaire is a native of Oor
reze. The man gives evidence of being
a crank
