In this olty, nnd nil Inquiries ns to his

nil of an ovaslvo nature, Mrs. Nunoz, In

know. When ho returns he may havo
Bomothing to say. We womon nro all In

us to know whoro our husbands nro at this

New YoitK, April 3. Editor E. Trujlllo,
of La Provona, who Is one of tho most no
tlvo leaders hero of tho Cuban junta, de
nounces as false thoroport that tho steam
ship Bermuda, which carrlod a filibuster
ing expedition under Goneral Garcia from
tills port, had been seized with Its cargo
of arms and ammunition by tho Honduras
authorities. In an lntorvlow ho said:
"Tho fact that tho Bermuda was at
Puerto Cortez Is not uows. Wo havo
known it several days. She landod her
men nnd cargo In Cuba safely. Sho then
procoeded to Puerto Cortez and took a
cargo of bananas, bho Is now on hor way
homo. Siio will stop at Philadelphia and
discharge her cargo and then she will
como to Now York.
"Tho report of tho solzuro of tho Ber
muda is in lino with tho other ono which
has been circulated that Gomez Is dead
and buried. Goneral Weylor is crodlted
with u telegram to tho Spanish minister
in Washington to that effoct. Wo hoard
from Gomez took weeks ngo, and ho was
then In good hoaltli. It is tho policy of
tho Spaniards to circulate anything thoy
think may affect tho American congros?,
and discourage Cubans. Tho truth is,
tho Spanish forces In Cuba are becoming
moro and moro demoralized. Thoy havo
boon boaton in every recent encounter
with tho Cubans; the revolution is gain
lng strength ovory dny; within fifteen
days four Important llllbustoring oxpodl-
tions have been landed in Cuba, and the
Spaniards aro in a bad way.

In Anaconda, Montana, Yesterday.
A Champion In His Time.
l'ierco Shortall, tho well-known foot hall
player of town, was smothered to death
whilo at work In tho Qllhcrton colliery yes
terday afternoon. His death was a sovoro
shock to Ids widowed mother, with whom ho
resided at No. 328 West Coal street.
Tho accident happened shortly before tho
colliery shut down for tlio day. Shortall was
engaged as a starter and well acquainted with
tho work, hut it seems had been quito tin
fortunate On Wednesday ho narrowly
escaped being killed at tlio same battery by
the brake stick slipping and striking him on
tlio side of the head. He jumped farcnough
back to escapo tlio full furco of tlio blow,
which would undoubtedly havo been fatal,
hut ho was dazed and his ear was badly
contused ami lacerated.
Yesterday Shortall attempted to start tho
battery and ilbout half a car load of coal
lushed upon him. It covered his head and
shoulders, smothering him aud rendering
him powerless to help himself. Whon his
poiti n was discovered tho young man was
beyond human aid. He had been smothered
to death. The body was entirely free from
any bruises or lacerations. The remains were
removed to tho home of the deceased. Mrs.
Shortall was prostrated by grief when the
body was carried into the house and sho
learned that nothing could lie dono for her
sou, save preparations for burial.
Shortall was a little moro than 1!1 years of
;e. During tlio past two years ho mado
quito a reputation as a foot ball player. Ho
was tho captain and ono of the most valuable
members of tho Shenandoah root Ball Club,
and when it won tlio victories over thu
Sliamokin ami Bethlehem teams last season
ho filled the position of full hack. He was
badly injured in the Shamokiu gauio. Tho
young man was very popular In town and his
deatli has cast an aspect of sorrow in many
circles.
Tho deceased was also a member of tlio
Phoenix Hosu Company and tho National
Club. Tho latter will hold a special meetin:
to-night to niako arrangements to attend tho
funeral.
