Reported Narrow Escape F-om Capture
of General Gomez.
BRAYELY FOUGHT HIS WAY OUT.
Surrounded by Spanish Infantrymen, but
Escaped Without a Scratch Cost of Liv
ing in Havana Has Increased Fifty
Per Cent., and Prices are Rising.
Havana. Jan. 10. Tho cnuso of heavy
artillery firing heard on Tuesday In tho
direction of Hojucnl, south of this city,
nnd nbout half w.y between Havana and
Untabnno, remained a mystery until yes
terday noon. It now npponrs that General
Linares, comninudlng a strong forco of
Spanish troop, moved from tho vicinity
of Managua. Santiago, It I neon and Salud
upon Bejucal upon learning thnt Gomez's
forces had attacked Bejucal and wore re
pulsed by tho garrison of that place nftcr
flvo hours' lighting.
Not satisfied with this repulso, tho In
surgents prepared to mnko n second at
tack upon ltejucal. But by that tlmo not
only had tho gnrrlson boon strongly rein
forced, but tho Spanish troops commanded
by General Llnaro3 had tuken up well
chosen nnd concealed positions In tho vi
cinity. Tho Insurgents woro allowed to
get within a short distance of Bejucal nnd
then tho garrison oponod lira upon them.
This was tho signal for tho Spanish forco
to unmask its batteries, and a hoavy artil
lery and rlilo llro was poilred Into tho In
surgent ranks. Tho enemy was taken
completely by surprise, camo to a halt,
feebly returned tho flro of tho Spaniards,
then wavered, broko nnd fled. Tho Insur
gents nro said td hnvo been commanded
by Gflnc-al Maximo Gomez In person.
General Llnare3 Is reported to havo
started In pursuit of General Gomoz with
nil tho Spanish troops avallnblo In tho
neighborhood of Bojucal, but ns tho In
surgents aro mainly mounted men, and
the Spanish troops In that vicinity nro
nearly all Infantry nnd artillery, thoro Is
not much prospect of coming up with, tho
fleeing enemy.
It becamo known today thnt General
Gomez had a narrow cscapo from being
capturod shortly after ho executed his
countermarch in tho provlncoof Plnardel
Rio nnd -made onco more for tho bordorsof
tho provlnco of Ilnvnua. Ho was In tho
neighborhood of Las Mangas, southwest
of Artemtsn, at tho head of n small oscort
of Insurgent cavnlr, men, when ho sud
denly camo upon a Spanish blvouno. Be
fore tho Insurgent commnndor-ln-chlef had
rocovored from his surprlso ho was almost
surrounded by Spanish Infantrymen. But
Gomez was equal to tho emergency. Spur
ring his .orso forward ho emptied his re
volver r.jht and left, and then, drawing
his mnchote. ho Utornlly cut his way out
of tho ring of Spanish soldiers, killing flvo
men with his own hand, nnd getting
away, with his escort, without a scratch
It Is said thnt tho principal object of
Gomez's attack upon Bejucal nnd tho
other plapos south of this city Is to crcato
a diversion under which ins lieutenant,
Goueral Antonio Mnceo, may retlro from
tho provlnco of Plnar del Itlo. But, It Is
claimed, tho Spanish generals will bo nblo
to pursuo Maeeo nnd pay attention to
Gomez at tho snmo tlmo. They hopo to
bo ablo to crush thoso two Insurgent com
mandors beforo tho second lnsurgont army,
now movlryj westward through tho prov
lnco of Santa Clara, can offect n junction
with tho Insurgent forces In this vicinity.
Tho damago dono by tho Insurgents In
tho provlnco of Plnar dol Rio Is described
ns ononnous. They nro said to hnvo de
stroyed all tho railroad brldgos and all
tho culverts on tno lino oi raiiroau run
ning from this city through GuiraMclona,
Artemlsa, Candelanln, San Cristobal,
Paso Ileal and Consolasclon to tho city of
Plnardel Rio, In addition to sacking a
number of towns, burning plantations,
plundering houses, and doing damago
north and south of tho railroad lino.
General Macoo's prosont whereabouts,
according to current rumor, Is In the lm
modl:.to vicinity of tho town of Plnnrdol
Rio, and ho Is said to hnvo tho lnte-'lonof
mnklng an attack upon It. Plu.ir 1 Rio
lsstrongly fortiflod, but Macoo Is h.iid to
bo under the Impression that ho can usa
dynamite witli consldorablo effect against
the town. This Is denied by military men
hero, who nro acquainted with tho naturo
of the defenses of Plnar del Rio, and It Is
aid thnt ho will moro likely pass around
to tho westward and effect a junction with
tho Insurgent bands believed to have been
collected lu tho mountainous districts.
It Is roportod that whllo fllnceo was
moving along tho northern const of Plnar
del Rio ho received considerable additions
to his supply of arms and ammunition, A
schooner loaded with arms, oto., is said to
havo nwalted tho Insurgents at Lu Mulata
and other such consignments nro said to
havo boon ruceived at various parts of tho
coast. This Is duuied by tho Spanish au
thorities. Tho distress lu tho provlncoof Matnnzas
and other places devastated by tho Insur
gents Is vory great, and tho local authori
ties In various districts havo boon granted
tho necessary permission to collect funds
by publlo subsctlptlon for tho rellof of tho
sufferers.
Tho prices of provisions, etc., aro rlsiug
very rapidly horo, and tho expousa of liv
ing Is fully 50 per cent, moro thau It was a
month ago. At tho rate things nro golug
the city of Havana will soon bo tho most
oxpenslvo plnco in tho world to llro In. If
this is tho caso with tho Insurgent forco
now In this vicinity It may bo Judged that
matters will bo considerably worso If tho
Spanish oommandors aro unablo to chcok
tho advauoo westward of tho second Cuban
army.
It Is known thnt tho holding of tho
country Immediately around Huvaua by
tho Insurgents Is regarded ns tho most
dangerous fcaturo of tho situation by tho
authorities, and they would probably bo
glad to hnvo It vacated on any terms. So
far os securlug any provisions goos, tho
city is much ns though It woro In n state
of 8lego, Tha Spanish authorities soem to
feel hoploss of bettering conditions until
they can secure an adequate cavalry forco
to operate against the Insurgents.
Tho air Is full of rumors regarding ne-
gounttons going on netwcon tuo cnptmn
general and tho insurgent londora, but tho
general opinion Is that ovou If they nro
taking placo tlleru will bo no rosult from
thorn.
Tho Spanish authorities clnlm that they
hnvo pressed Gomez hard for two days,
nnd that thoy lmvo succoodod In doing
whnt they sought In driving him bnok Into
tho heart of Plnar del Hlo provlnoo. They
say that tho comblnod forces of Gomez
nnd Macoo aro now In a seriously compro
mised position, nnd thoy do not fall to dla
senilnuto tho Impression of their confi
dence that thoy havo at last got tho Insur
gents at a disadvantage nnd will bo able
to prevent their cscapo from I'lnar del Rio.

COMMITTED TO AWAIT TRIAL I
The Lloyd Street Robbery Caso Ends in a
Pottsvllle Court by a Jury Acquit
ting the Two Young Men Who
Were Accused.
William Nolan was yesterday committed to
jail by Juttlco Dengler on a charge of
larcony. Tho complaint is made by tho
sister of the accucd, Mrs. I.lz.io Whalcn,
who alleges that Nolan stolo a key from tho
pocket of her dress and gained access to a
drawer in which slio kept a gold watch
valued at $."0.
The theft was not discovered until several
days after it was committed. Nolan boarded
with his sister. Sho was surprised by seeing
him display au unusual amount of money
nnd, tho fact thnt tho drnwor key was miss
ing, aroused her suspicions. The key was
subsequently found in Nolan's clothes and
tho watch was then found missing. Nolan
was accused, but made an emphatic denial.
Moro investigation disclosed that Nolan had
taken a gold watcli to a jeweler's and had it
examined, llo stated that it was bis sister's
watch. It was also learned that Nolan sold
the nrtitle, but tho purchaser cannot bo
traced.
Notwithstanding Nolan was confronted
with all these facts ho steadfastly protested
that bo knew nothing of tho watch, lie
was committed for trial In default of bail.
Dl'orts aro now being directed to learn who
bought tho watch.

Dougherty home drunk and went into the
house with him through the regular entrance
Dougherty becan" quarrelsome and they left
the bouse withr.ut taking anything bclon
ing to DougK-rty. The jury believed the
story of the young men and rendered a
verdict of acquittal, putting tho costs on the
