to have killed the mayor and n prominent
merchant of tho place. Similar tales conic
from other towns In tho routo of tho In
surgents' inarch. Guam, a small village
east of Guira Mulunii and west of Guinea,
was also burned.
Tho mayor of tho vllliago of San Felipe,
It Is said, was Intent upon olTorlug a vlg
orous resistance to tho Invasion of his
town by tho insurgents. Tho mayor's
tomorlty eausjd much suprlso to Maximo
Gomez, and his forces set about to burn
tho village. Tho citizens went to tho mnyoi
with a request that ho offer no resistance
to Gomez, ami thereupon, says tho report,
he desisted.
The zone Included in tho country about
tho villages of Qulvican, Duran and San
Fellpo in tho southern partof tho province
of Havana, has boon swept clean by tlit
destructive touch of tho lnsurgonts, and
the plantations of Salvador, Julia, San
Augustln, Santa Toresa, Morccdlta, Mora
and Mirosa havo been burned.
Incoming trains from tho south are
bringing in vast throngs of refugees, men,
women and children, some of whom have
been burned out,;jf houso and home, but
"most of whoih lira sflnply fleeing from fear
of violence, having hastily gathered to
gether a few household goods. This largo
infusion of paulo stricken people into the
city's population spreads n, contagion of
alarm, and tho force and proximity of tho
insurrection becomes mora real to tho
mind of Havana overy hour.
Saturday night a torpedo was oxplodcd
ln.front of tho Corona cigar manufactory
In tho city. No ono was hurt, and tho flro
that resulted was extinguished without
much damage, but tho incident has a sin
ister look and is a tangible expression of n
thing that oven tho most hopeful citizous
fear, and that Is an outbreak in tho city of
disaffected eloinonts in casotho insurgents
should cotno within reach of nn effort at
co-operating in such an attempt.
Loud disclalinorsf are being uttered by
tho authorities hero that thoy havo nuy
fear for tiio wolfaro of the city. It is
pointed out that tho city is well fortllled,
being protected by tho strong fortress
Morro, and being garrisoned by tho Cn
bannes, Prlncipo, Alaros, Santa Clara and
Kclna troops, with heavy artillery, and
by !X),000 volunteers, with 10,000 most loyal
citizens in tho city willing to take arms.
With these forces at command tho au
thorities express tho opinion with great
confidence that It would bo impossible for
tho Insurgents to capture tho city unless
thoy wore provided with siego artillery.
It is claimed that only small bands of
insurgents aru engaged in tho operations,
under Gomez, ami that thoy aro successful
only In small towns. Tho opinion again
holds hero that tho movement of tho In
surgents Is dlroctod against tho country
districts, and although preparations havo
been imulo hero against u possibles surprise,
there is no present fear of an attack.

Itiiliard Jenkins, liieiiard hoarded lu a
bouse kept by a relative of Mary 11. Walker,
who was also an occupant, and a discussion
about ii meal arose, terminating in Iiichard
attempting to assault the woman. Cries of
"1'olico !" ended the allair and Iiichard was
arrested. He pleaded guilty and lecelved a
sentence of 30 days, $1 line and costs.
Tho grand jury lias found a true bill
