An Engagement at Jaruco In Which the

as "Mot a Word i Bald ol the
Losses on Either Side."
HAVANA, Fob. 20.-Autonlo Maoeovlth
a largo following, on Tuesday mtulo nn at
tack upon Joruco, which Is tho largest find
most lmportnnt town on tlio railroad be
tween llnvinui and Matatlzas. Theolllcial
report states that the garrison made n
herolo defense, but not a word Is said of
tho lossos on cither sldo or of tho damage
Inflicted, by tho Insurgents. After tho at
tack Mncco loft tho town nnd joined tho
column led by Maximo Gomez, which
camo to meet him.
It sconis evident that Gomez and Mncco
Intend to movo into Mntauziis and form n
junction with tho Insurgent forces from
tho east under otlior lenders which lnwo
arrived thero. Their course from Jnruco
was to Sabnno Itoblcs and La Cabalina,
and from thero In tho direction of Mad
ruga, which Is towards Matnnzas. It is
reported that tho position of tho troops
makes tho situation of Gomez and Mncco
extremely critical.
Captain General Wcylcr has given of
ficial notice of tho transfer of tho caso of
Joso Lnreuzo Cepodo from tho military to
tho civil Jurisdiction, and Ccpcdo will soon
bo removed from tho Cabanas fortress to
tho civil prison to nwutt trial.
For a week tho city 1ms been filled with
wild rumors of midnight shootings of
prisoners at tho Cabanas fortress. Cepero
is said to have been one of tho victims.
From very high authority It Is learned
that thero is no truth whatever in any of
theso reports. Thero hnvo been no mili
tary executions, and no prisoners havo
been shot in the Cabanas fortress.
Cepero is an American citizen, accused
of tnklng a conspicuous part with tho in
surgents in tho affair at Malticmp. Tho
order of tho captain general is issued at
the request of tho United States consul
general, Itamon Williams. Strong lnllu
encos havo been nt work ever sluco Ccp
cro's capturo to havo htm tried by court
martial, but Captain General Woylcr rec
ognizes tho cuso as coming under tho pro
visions of tho treaty with tho United States.
Captain General Weylcr has been so
much annoyed by theso rumors that ho
lias made a paref ul investigation and de
manded a special report upon tho facts.
Sentinels shooting nt stray goats or other
moving objects thut failed to respond to
challenges at night, it Is said, gavo riso to

who says that a syndicate has inndo un
offer to tako 15,000,00U of Cuban bonds it
tho Insurgents uro granted belligerent
rights by tho United States. Tho prlco
tho syndicate will pay, ho says, will be
ubout forty cents on the dollar, giving tho
Cubans about $0,000,000. If tho Insurgents
Bucceed, ho nssorts, not only will tho now
bonds bo paid, but thoso Issued during tho
ten years war.
Dr. Gulteras also says that subscriptions
havo been nitulo by otlior parties for 15,000,.
000 bonds on tho same condition, that tho
United States rocogulzo tho revolution,
Ho says: "Thero nro n largo numbor of
wealthy Cubans lu this country. Somo

is surprising how generally this money
bus boon subscribed by Cubans. Men

"If wo could socuro $11,000,000 tho ones

Considerable comment has been created by

as "justice of tho peaco for tho borough"
under the contention that each borough was
only entitled to two justices and they were

into which a borough may bo divided, accord'
iug to an act passed in 1878 nud under whicli

question is being discussed considerably and
will probably get into court for decision.

Interesting; Results Shown by a Census
of the Pupils.
THE NATIONALITIES CONSIDERED
Children of American Birth and Parentage,
Those of the Same Birth, But of Foreign
Parentage, and Children of Foreign
Birth Classified.
People who hike an interest in tho local
public schools will Ilnd the table published
below of considerable importance. Tho 11k
ures were gleaned and tabulated by .Superin
tendent M. P. Whltaker-and Secretary W.
T. Trrziso after a discussion ono day as to
the number of children of tho different
nationalties in attendance nt tho respective
schools. Secretary Trezisa prepared the
necessary blanks for the consul and Superin
tendent Whltakcr distributed them among
the teachers in tho schools, Tho census was
very diligently and carefully conducted
and the flffurcs may bo relied upon
as being as near correct as it is pos
sible to get theui. They are not based
solely upon the statements or pupils,
but upon information through them from tho
parents to teachers. The children f Ameri
can birth and parentage aro tho greatest in
number by a great majority, which is con
trary to the supposition of many people.
They form over 10 per cent, of tho total
school attendance.
As to tho children of foreign parentagotho
Irish rank tiit, tho Poll's second, English
third and Lithuanian fourth, und of the
children of foreign birth in nttendanco at
the schools tho Lithuanians arc tho greatest
in number, the Poles a closo bccond, and the
English third.
The fact is apparent that the Polish and
Lithuanian children are rapidly increasing
in nttendanco and with tho constant increase
in the population of these two nationalties
and Fteady depreciation of most of the others
wo may expect tq sco tho former's percentage
greatly increased within the next four or live
years.
Another interesting iact brought out is
that tho Hungarian population of the town
is not near as large as many people suppose.
The census shows but 23 children ot that
nationality and parentage in attendance at
the schools and assurance is given by a
prominent Hungarian that the percentage
thus shown is a fair representation of his
nationality in tho town.
