In a Inter engagement Bovlra was captured by the Hpanlsh, court-mnrtinled and sentenced to receive 400 lashes nnd be shot. The sentence wns carried out while Bovlra was shouting for Caban liberty.

The battle lasted from II o'clock a. tn. to 1 o'clock p. in. It was resumed in tbe early alteruoon. "Gen. Antonio Mnceo cleverly turned the Rpnuisn column aud gnlned tho puss of Baa cuno.

"I bey did not gain any advantage howevor, and alter burning tbelr provisions they con tinued to retreat to Mountanln, which place tbey entered in scattered groups." The Cubans bnve no cavalry, but made nse of dynamite bombs, which tbe letter states, struck terror to the enemy. In the engagement the Cuban' loss wns 40 men wounded nnd killed. The Spanish lost over 300 men, 40 horses, and n large store of provisions and munitions of war. Ths Cuban are still capturing straggler and picking up arm near Monutanln.

At Coffey vllle Ibe mercury fell 40 degree In two hour. At Wichita the full was 00 de grees, and tbs weather Is the coldest in Sep tember ever recorded. Material Injury to crops wlll follow if the cold spell continues. At Ardmore, I. T., there was n severe thunder-storm, accompanied by a slight rain and a very high wind. Tbe storm was followed by a cold wave, a fall ot 40 degrees occurring In a few hours. A general frost fell over the Southwest Hunday night.

Consul Oeneral Max Judd, of Vienna, bas forwarded to tbe Department ot Btnte a re port on tbe grain crop ot tbs world for 1895, compiled horn tbe report of ths annual inter national grain fair. Ths abstract furnished by Mr. Judd (hows that the wheat, rye, bar ley and oat crops of Europe are somewhat below tbe average, while corn Is exceedingly promising, end It Is expected that the yield will be one-half again as large this year n it has been on an average for lev years Canada shows an increase of about 0,000,000 In wheat, wbile India shows a loss of about double that quantity, both as compared with 1804. Most of Ihe Bussian proviooes Indicate an lucrease tn wheat and rye. Ths Austria-Hungary wheat Is poor In quality; and less In quantity than usual. A lighter V wheat crop is also In dicated In the United States. Tbs French wheat crop estimated aj 98 per cent) rye at lot, and oats at 95 per cent of tbs average. Tbe wheat orop ot Great Britain and Ireland Is put down a poor, and 1 estimated nt from 40 to 09 per cent of tbe average. The English barley erop will be better than the wheat crop, but tbe quality will be poor. ' Egypt will export considerable wheat, It Is anticipated tbat tbe loss on wheat In India and tbe United Btates will be compen sated for by tbe gain in Canada and Russia, and that, taking this crop throughout tbs world, tbs result for tbs year will be about quel to ins average season.

Developments of ths Pest Week Encour aging In Soros Branches. B. O. Dun A Co., In tbelr weekly review of trade sayt About 1,800 commerolnl failures for ths third quarter of 1A9J ,h0w liabilities of about .10,0(0,000. of which about I1.000, Oi l) have been ol manufacturing and 1 17, 000,000 of trading concerns. In the same quarter of last year the failures were 2.W18 and tho liabilities t2l,4U,l!KI, ot which 12, il!l,l'!2 were of manufacturing and 1 2, 1H1, 230 of trailing concerns. Ths week s reports are highly encouraging as to monetary matters although exporta of gold still continue, and also ns to the cotton manufacture, but not ns satisfactory regard ing Iron, woolen, leather or silk manufac tures. Prices ot cotton goods rise each woek, ad ding to the prollt ot mills, which on both sides of the ocenn can use for ome time to come old cotton bought nt low prices. Somo of the largest Pittsburg Iron and steel con cerns, professing to have orders for many months abend, are bidding for small con trnels In Pastern markets at l to 1.50 per ton less thnn tbe quoted rate. Home say that It Is dono to depress the market, nud ngnln it Is thought that the bhject may bo to bay materials, but contracts have been mnde in the Knst for iljo.ouo ton ot foreign ore, to lie used In Bessemer Iron mnklug at P.nstern ftirnnms, and the termination of the Mar quette strike sots free nbout C00,0)0 tons more of Bessemor ore within the period of bike navigation. The strike ol coke workers at ( oniiollsvllle, Pa., seems to havo been avoided. For the llrst week In many months the average of prices ol Iron and steel pro ducts show no change whatever, though lho demand for finished products is distinctly re. duced, Failures for tho week have been 210 In Ihe United States, ngnlnst 235 lust year, and CO in Canada, against 03 last year. STILL THEY COME. Another Claim for Damages Against Spain. Alexander Porter Morse nppenred nt tho Stale Department, and as counsel for Gustav lllchlieu preferred n claim for (20,000 ngnlnst the Hpanlsh Government for Illegal nrrest nnd Imprisonment. lllchlieu nnd Bolton, claiming to te Amerlcnn sailors, were picked up olf tho Cnban port of GiiKiitnnnmo several mouths ago by a Bpnnlsh patrol.

Tbey were thrown into jail nt Santiago, nnd, In spite of tbe efforts of Con sul llyutt, they wero kept imprisoned for several weeks, meanwhile suffering from fever. Tbe department probably will call upon our consular olllcers for a full state ment of the facta before presenting the claim. ALL ON BOARD LOST. An Iron-Laden Steamer Goes Down In Green Bay.

Seeking to Proteot Fourth Class Post- Masters. Both the rostofflco Department and Civil Service Commission are taking Interest In tbe movement toward putting tbe fourth class postmaster andor Ihe protection of tbs civil service laws. Wbile nothing Is likely to be done at present, It Is probable tbat before the end of this administration the looked tor action will be taken. There are over 05,000 fourth class post offices In the country and the number is con stantly increasing. Of these some 20,000 carry salaries less than (50 per annum, and nt least half are In plnces where there la much greater difficulty In finding a compe tent and reliable person who Is willing to sorve thnn In choosing between competitors. It Is obvious that tbore can bo no question ot examination aud certification In tho usual civil service method In these offices. Several plans have been suggested, and a combina tion of tbem will probably be adopted. Murdered on His Schooner. Cspt Benjamin F.

A year ego Commissioner ot Pensions ochren said that ths limit had probably been reached In ths number of pensions, or, rather, In Ihe amount to be yearly appro printed for pensions, but that for two or three rears tne pnyinent wouia probably remain he same. It wns his opinion that there would be a alight reduction In the number of pensioners on account of denths, but tbat the allowance of pensions with buck pay and ar rears would probably keep the amount about even, While the amount of money paid for pen sions will not be materially different from that of past years. It appears that there has been added to tbe pension rolls during ths year about 1,000 names In excess of tboss that bave dropped out, bo thore has been an Increase Instend of a decrease. A great many otdandlug pension claims bave been ad justed during the year, nnd that accounts lor the large Increase. The year bas not been very fatal to pensioners, the death rate being less than would be anticipated at the time of life which fie vcteruus of tbe Inte war bavs arrived. Renovating The Wblte House.
