TWO INSURGENT VICTORIES.
Spaniards Defeated at Dua Camlnoi
and Holguln.
Nbw Yobk, Nov. 23 The World this
morning publishes the following corres
pondence from Santiago de Cuba, under
date of November 12 :
General Linares and Cara del Rev,
with 2000 men, were defeated November
10 by Mendoza and . Freire at Barracoa,
near Dos Caminos. The Spanish fled,
leaving many killed and wounded, aruorjg
the latter a colonel. The wounded, in
cluding the colonel, were cared for by

some women living near. When the
Spaniards afterward returned from Dos
Caminos to get their wounded they ar
rested and shamefully, treated the
women. "
On the 9th Spanish commander Ard
anaz, with a large force, was defeated by
the rebel leader Torres, near the wharf
of Banes ( Holguin), where there is a fort.
Tbe rebels laid a wire cable across the
harbor entrance so when the gunboat
Vincente Tanez went to protect tbe
Spanish column she could not get in.
She retired in a shower of bullets, after
losing two men killed. Tbe Spanish col
umn again fought the insurgents on its
return in Loma de Los Angeles, and suf
fered considerable loss. Commander
Garndos' guerillas and regulars were de
feated on the 10j.h by Brigadier Bonne.
Garridos was severely wounded. Alnuut
the entire force of the guerillas joined
the rebels.
General Weyler's orders to send fire
men to tbe field has produced a result
jnst contrary to hia expectation. Of tbe
100 colored firemen who left Havana for
Pinar del Rio, November .7," 90 have
joined the rebels at tbe first chance. A
selection of 150 firemen of Santiago were
ordered to be ready to take tbe field yes
terday. Forty disappeared night before
last, taking their arms and ammunition.
Tbey had joined the rebel force of Col
onel Veea. In Manzanillo 250 'firemen
with a lieutenant did likewise as soon as
they got tbe order to be ready for ser
vice. Mr-TEKIOUS FLYING MACHINE.
Queer terms for tea.

nothing; we pay him.
Not queer at all. It pays;
for the tea surprises you
more than the terms.

San' Francisco Continues to Speculate
: Regarding It.
San FbAncisco, Nov. 23. The inven
tor of the mysterious air ship which has
been puzzling local scientists and others
for the past week, is believed to be one
"Dr. E. H. Benjamin," an alleged den
tist, who has occupied rooms in an Ellis
street lodging house' for the past two
years, but so far he has successfully
evaded all attempts to discover bis iden
tity. .. His attorney, Collins, 'when Been
yesterday and pressed to tell further
about the alleged inventor and his ma
chinery, said :
"This morning the inventor came to
my office in the Crocker . building and
told me that he bad tested tbe merits of
the ship in last night's storm, with the
greatest success. The wind currents
weie very contrary, and tbe test tried
the merits' of the machine in the hardest
possible way, but it came out of the or
deal n tbe best condition, having breast
ed tbe storm like any bird. He started
in the locality where the vessel is housed,
and flew over Alcatraz and oat through
the Golden Gate, skirting the Cliff
house and returning by the same route
across the bay. He hovered over the
seal, rocks for fully 10 minutes and
played bis searchlight on the seals. His
intention is to make another trip this
evening, probably over the same ground,
running on hia return trip as far as Sac
ramento." i
A dispatch was received from Sacra
mento last night that hundreds of peo
ple there bad again seen- tbe mysterious
meteor in the heavens; but as yet, no
one has been able to see the object suffi
ciently to state definitely what it is.

AT HIS WITS' END
Father Tells How Hia Baby
- Suffered from
Eczema.
IN ITS WORST FORM
Grew Worse Under Treatment of Beat
Physicians. Tried
CUTICURA REMEDIES
Oreat Change In Fire Days.- To-day
' Entirely Cared, With Nice Head -of
Hair. Lively and Hearty-.
' I had a baby t'hat had Eczema in its worst
. form. I had one of the best physicians in
the city attending her, but she continued to
get worse all the time under his treatment,
e finally admitted that he was at his wits'
, end. I then got Cuticura Remedies, and in
ikfeio day noticeti great change in her con
dition. She continued to improve after that,
and totay ie entirely curd, has nice head of
hair, and is lively and hearty. J can fully
recommend them as being the best medicines
for the cure of this disease. I spent con
siderable money for drugs and doctor's bills,
which was useless in this case, for I think
t if your remedies don't cure, nothing will. I
am telling every ono that I see suffering,
about Cuticoka Remedies, and can cheer
fully recommend them to those in need of
them. - -
