The effort, of the Cuban patriots to riee on February 29th proved futile iD the city of Havana and th. country immediately surrounding on account of the absence of Gen eral Singuilly, but now they are organized under able leaders and may be expected to rise in arms at any moment. Port au Prince is declared in a itate of rebellion by the Spanish government, which makes four out »f the five provinces of the island in a state of revolution. The report that Maximo Gomez is in Cuba is confirmed, and he is now at the head of the uprising at m Principe. These passengers de clare that so soon as it is officially known Gomez is at the head of the insurgent army, the whole island will rise en masse.

A Quarter of a Million Gone up in Smoke a-.d Hundredsof People L r 't Homeless And Desolate in the Flower State. Si. Augustine, Fla., March 29. Fire broke out in the blacksmith shop occupied by J< hn Masters, in the old building owned by R. J. Mickler, on Charlotte street, two doors North of Bunting’s furniture establishment, yesterday afternoon caused by sparks from the forge setting fire to the roof It was dis covered by a boy working in Carcaba’s cigar factory, on Hip olyta street, who gave the alarm. The fire department and residents responded quickly, as the neigh borhood is a veritcble tinder box. Forty-six residences and stores and many other buildings were de atroyed, rendering, in the space of four hours, about one hundred families homeless and leaving many boarders to seek shelter else where, many of them with only the clothing which they had on. Some of the b ises are : Carcaba’s sto - ' lued t sl2,- 000, insurance ■ : - aiding valued at $7,00 . •n -ur•• .• ;R. E. Kuhn. $2,000 on stock, valued $5,- 000; SI,OOO one Daniel Allen's house ; $2,000 on Shermans dwell ing ; Mrs. Smith r.< (Gibbs man sion) SI,OOO on ill 1: ng. $ 1.500 on furniture, SSOO wiring nrparel; Dr. Paeetti, * -a residence; Josph R. Pacett ate $600; H. T. Baya, $2,000; ?. I). de Medicis’ estate, $3,000; Mrs. Gomez’, resi dence, $8,000; Mrs. T. D. Crandall $1,500; Coburn,ssoo, furniture and clothing. There are few other cases of in surance, owing to the high rate of insurance, consequent o» the dan gerous nature of the neighborhood. G. E. Cooper places the loss to companies in his agency at $45,- 000. Hamblen’s agency has about $2,000. The losses will aggregate 4200,000. A. N. Stewart was overcome by smoke while moving furniture. Adam Banks, Lawyer Mac William and S. W. Chichelow were slight ly injured. All the palmetto tr r es along the sea wall from the fort to Baya are destroyed, as were the heaps of household effects placed there for safety. Colonel Edmund Bainbridge, commanding the United States troops ordered Lieutenant Oher nan and the fire brigade to render assistance and followed this order by personally bringing all the troops to the scene with hose lad ders and buckets. The soldiers worked manfully to extinguish the fire and save property. Many families are camping on the fort green tonight with what of their effects they saved. Several families also occupy the old slave market. There is perfect order. The guests of both the Magnolia, Florida house and Lorillard ville packed their effects ready to leave, but the danger was averted. These hotels were at one time threatened.

The soldier gh hi ■ ’'' ds, and laughed ov< • brutality. He w: utterly untrou bled by remorse, and said he would be delighted to join another simi lar expedition. The soldier deciaired that not fewer than S,OCX) Armenians were slain, and, but for the coming of the mushir to stop the slaughter, the soldier would have destroyed every Christian village in the Sa?- soun district, and hot one ( bus tian would have been left. THE HUSTLER OF ROME. KLUSTER OF BULLS EYE SHOTS The flowers that bloom in the spring tra-la have nothing to do with the joke that is being told on some of Rome’s Masons whojwent to Dalton, and last night partici pated in one of the grandest ban quests ever spread on an occasion of that kind. I would like to tell the whold story, but Capt Will El liott’and Capt. J. F. McClure have been on my trail all day and have had an intimidating effect except upon this much: ♦ « * The banquet hall, as presided over by that prince of good fellows, Mayor Sam P. Maddox, was a thing of beauty even if its bounteous profusion of good things, and cake, couldn’t last forever. The tables were the only thing in misery and they only did like well loaded ta bles do—just groaned. The deco rations were immense; among the festoons of flowers being a profu sion of roses of rare beauty. « « ♦ And it was the beauty of these roses that proved “fatal.’’ Atone of the banquet tables sat Cap. Bill Elliott, uow of Attlanta, Capt. J. F. McClure, Stark the Rome tailor and Major H. B. Kelly of Van Dykes all of this city. One of the gentle men tells me that Capt. Bill fell in love with the roses and regarded the other Romans with a jealous eye. **. “When this banquet is over,” remarked Mr. Stark, “And these beautiful flowers have served their mission lam going to capture a pair of those roses and carry them home'to my wife. ”“I have been run overby the same yearlin,’’.remark ed Capt McClure as he surveyed out a beautiful cluster. J * • * Bill Elliot, who sat opposite,diag nozed the case and noted the “risk” remarking: “I use to live in Rome and I’ve got as good a wife as any man in the crowd,and for fear of a slipup in the shank of the present exercises, here goes for this lot” in the meantime the great believer irTthe financial blessings’of widows and orphans had made a dive and was holding a couple of the blos somsto’his] nose —that settled it. *•* Judge Maddox says, “that was the finest lot of artificial flowers I ever saw.” Cal Smith, who was one of the 86 Romans present, says he agrees with Judge Maddox fully but didn’t have to climb a post to be convinced. The balance of this story is with held from the public so and sufficient reasons” or until our wife holds a policy in Capt. Bill Elliott’s Insurance Com pany. ♦ I dropp'd in to see Judge Bran ham this forenoon. I found him resting very comfortable and look ing cheerful —very cheerful con - Bidering that it is a case of North ern grippe he is suffering with. The Judge tells me that he feels like he will be able to get out in a couple of days. Those who have had the grippe know how to syin pathize with Judge Branham— those who have not “enjoyed” it, think they do —but they don't * * * Mountain City, No. 2. has been jn the “hoes swapping” business ..nd now has a manificient gray to m. sh her “Old Eagle.” John C .rley and “Governor” Taylor are strictly “in it” now.

THE THIRD PARTY Was Named, Underwood, was Found Dead in The Woods. STORY OF THE PLOT. The Morrows Have Been Bur led. Will F. Martin, the who was on the Tramp Tender Was ‘of a Good Family.. Somerest, Ky., March 29.—The body of Uuderwood, one of the gang of highwaymen that attempt ed to hold up the Cincinnati South ern express train, was found late this evening in the wood!, a short distance from the scene of the shooting, by a farmer. The dead man was lying on li. right side with his left hand acrcss his forehead while hie weapons were missing. The body was rid dled with buckshot. The greater portion of the load having struck tbe would-de robber in the abdo men. Uud< rwood was the mau who was shot by Detective Allgood, of Chattanooga. After the officers fired the shot Uuperwood fell. Tbe officers thinking him dead started in search of him. They dis covered he had escaped to the woods. He went only a short dis tance before dropping the second time, and the supposition is that he lived but a few minutes. The remains ere now at the home of ths farmer who made the ghastly discovery, and will be taken toSreenwood iu the morn ing. The true story of the plot to rob the train has just coma to light. Two months ego Ram Frazier, a worthless sort of a fellow, who re sides near hers, was approached by Jerry Morrow, who asked him to go into the train-robbing busi ness. Frazier asked him bis plan and Morrow said that the way to do would be to wreck the train and get the money. Frnzier said he would think the matter over and let him know latter. In tbe mean time the Morrows and Uuderwood arranged to wreck and rob the train by putting crossties on the track. Frazier reported the occurrence to the railroad officia's. Detective Griffin instructed him tego ahead end tell the men that he was “with them.” Ho was afraid ho would be arrested for detaining the mails, but was informed that he would be taken care of in this retpect. He was told to persuade the ban dits to hold the train up and not wreck it. Frazier did so. The men, Frazier, Jerry and Tom Morrow, Underwood, Sam Johnson and the unknown person, met by the agree ment near the scone of the holdup. Frazier made a remark which caused the other members to be lieve ho was going to betray them. They sent Frazier to Greenwood af ter some whiskey and then talked the matter over. When he returned they told him that he was a coward and threat ened to kill him. H<* had told the detectives that he would be the first man to enter the car, but the other robbers would not have it, this way, and made him flag the train. Frazier turned up here last night but before morning he left for parts unknown, with three of the horses owned by the robbers. He was afraid that the friends of the dead men would kill him. The inquest in all cases will be held in the morning, and whether the officers will be arrested for the killing depends en the verdict. Tbe remains of Jerry and Thos Morrow were today turned over to A. New, a brother-in-law of Jerry, after being placed in a coffin. New secured a wagon and had the re mains taken to the late home, about ten miles from the scene of. the attempted robbery, and they were buried at the family burying grounds this afternoon. Will F. Martin, who was taken from the tender of the engine, was supposed to have been a member of the gang, but proved to be a tramp, from Alleghany, Pa,, His CLOSED Is The Maddox side of The Mad dox-Felton Contest NOTICE FOR REBUTTAL Served for Monday Morning and About the Same List of Witnesses Will be Used. One Sam Holt. About the only witness put on the stand this morning in the Fel ton-Maddox congresssonal contest was Mr. Sam Holt, the young real estate man. Mr. Holt knew noth ing of the mysterious “Sam Holt of Whitfield” the author of the in famou Sam Holt ’ection dodger which was gotten out and circu lated over the district on the morning of election, to injure Judge Maddox. Mr. Holt was the last witness ex amined by Congressman Maddox, the contestee. Lawyer Davis then served notice for the rebuttal testimony to te taken in Polk, Bartow and Floyd, for Monday. The list of witnesses for Floyd is about the same as the list used by the Feltons in the former hear ing. It is headed with Honorable Seab Wright, while Henry Ober, col, brings up the bottom. To date there has been no evi dence secured which even justifies the present contest. ———— STATE SENATORS SCRAP Lincoln, Neb., March 29.—The senate chamber was the scene of a | personal encounter this evening just before adjournment between Senator Stewart, a populist, and ■ the iergeant-at-arms, which came 1 near involving many of the mem i bers in a hand to hand conflict. While speaking against a bill Senator Stewart was interrupted I on a point of order by Senator > Noyes, of Douglas. Contrary to a I precedent, Mr. Stewart ignored 1 the point of order and also the I presiding officer when he asked him repeatedly to be seated. The sergeant-at-arms was direct ed to quiet the speaker but Mr. Stewart resisted. The two men clinched and fought up and down the aisle. Mr. Dale, another popu list, sprang to assist his colleague, but was roughly thrown to the floor by two republican members. Jeffreys, also a populist, started for the combatants, shouting loud ly that he could whip any man on the floor. McKeeby, of Webster the giant of the senate, caught him, forced him into a chair and held him. The presiding officer rushed down the aisle, parted the original combatants and finally brought about order A resolution was in troduced requesting Mr. Stewart to apologize within twenty-four hours or subject him to a vote of censure.
