The Cuban Rebellion Causes
Strife in Mexican Towns.
SERIOUS RIOTS AT MANY POINTS
Katlvea and Spaniard Fight In the
Streets of the Cities A Spanish.
Consulate Attached.
San Diego, Cal., Dec. 23. The patri
iem of Mexicans and their fervent love
ot liberty is shown in their strong sym
pathy with the Cuban insurgents.
Every day during tho past six months
there have been encounters in the City
of Mexico between Mexicans and Span
iards, and the general government is
taking severe' measures to quell any de
monstration cj hostility to Spain.
In the ctity of San Luis Potosi the feel
ing runs soubigh that serious trouble is
threatened. v Last Wednesday' night a
mob gathered there, inflamed by a cir
cular said to have been written by a
Spaniard and defaming Mexicans' and
Mexican institutions, and especially with
reference to the part taken in sympathy
with the Cubans. This circular precipi
tated a riot. A crowd gathered early in
the evening, constantly growing in num
bers and violence until at 10 . oclock it
bad reached the proportion of a mob,
that swept everything before it. '
The mob gathered in front of the
Spanish consulate and threatened to de
molish the structure, but were finally
controlled by one "or two cools heads.
Banners inscribed with huge red letters
were flaunted at the consulate, and vio
lent talk and insults bandied. .-, The
Spanish consul was in great peril and
appealed to the authorities to protect
him. The mob finally left after severe
measures had been taken by the police,
and plans were hurriedly made- to dis
perse any subsequent gathering.

Bunco Pete, during which Pete shot and
it is supposed fatally wounded Gardner.
Pete at once mounted his horse and
struck for the cattle camp of the Shoe
sale outfit.
A po9se at once started in pursuit and
as he bad stopped to see a woman to
whom be' was engaged to be married,
the posse overtook him. He was or
dered to throw up bis hands and replied
by opening fire on the posse, who in
turn shot him dead. Garner is recover
ing, although shot through with a 44
caliber bullet. Pete was a cowboy and
all-round bad man from the locality
where Diamond Field Jack and others
recently killed several sheepherdere.

MavFielb, Ky., Dec. 23. At 4 o'clock
this morning a detachment of 30 whites
from Fulton, 30 miles away, came into

resist the negroes who propose to attack
this place on account of the recent lynch
ing. ' Eddyville, Kuttawa, . Wingo,

panies are being formed in each of , these
places. The Second regiment -of Ken
tucky State Guards at Paducah has been
asked for a gatling'gun. and the piece is
now on its way to the city.
Powers to Intervene.
London, Dec. 23. As frequently an
nounced from the various capitals since
the visit-bf the czar to the queen, 'Sep
tember, the powers have finally become
convinced that the sultan's promises
amount to nothing and are . determined
to begin a policy of coercion. All infor-
the past few ' months, have agreed in
principle to the expediency, of employ
ing coercion should the enltan be recal
citrant, but the form of coercion will not
be determined until the emergency
arises. ;

formation points to the accuracy of the
news received today from Constantino
ple and cabled by tha Associated Press.
The Marquis of Salisbury on Monday
summoned the ambassadors to the for
eign office and communicated to them
views of the British government on the
definite proposals of Russia for joint in
tervention, in-order that each ambassa
dor might communicate them to his government.
. SHARP CUBAN TACTICS.
Dynamited Spanish. Relief Train to
Enemy's Great Lous.
Cincinnati, Dec. 23. A special to Ihe
Commercial Tribune from Tampa, Fla.,
says : ' -
One of the Cuban leaders here received
news from Havana tonight confirming
the report recently received ot Spanish
lpsees sustained near Santiago and other
towns nearby, while attempting to cap
ture the cargo of a filibustering vessel.
The Spaniards were routsd, and they
wired to Deechelaine, 30 miles away, for
aid. A train was made up there, with
great secrecy, but the watchful Cubans
there knew of it and sent word to a near-J
by insurgent camp. The track was dy
namited as the train came along, .the
bomb causing destruction, four cars be
ing blown almost into splinters. The
terrified Spanish soldiers poured out of
the wreck, only to receive a withering
fire from the Cubans concealed behind
the roadbed. The Spaniards fought
bravely for a few moments, but the odds
we're too much, and they fled in all di
rections, the Cubans pursuing them for
miles. Over 40 Spanish ' soldiers were
killed or wounded and 40 taken prison
ers. The Cubans secured a quanty of
arms, ammunition and medical supplies.
It is reported that the expedition landed
Bafely, and that all the cargo was taken
to Gomez' camp.
In Havana much speculation baa been
indulged in today as to why Weyler
changed bis mind and went to pinar del
Rio section, instead of going toMatanzas
and into Santa Clara province, as - bad
been arranged. The solution is that. bad
news was received from the trocha, and
that the Spanish commanders, not wish
ing to stand the responsibility, wired for
Weyler. - t
" ONE MORE FAILURE.
Present Tranquillity Is the Calm Before
the Storm.
New York, Dec. 23. A special to the
Herald trom Kingston, Jamaica, says : .
Matters are tranquil in Hayti at pres
ent, but it is stated that a revolution is
bound to come later. The report that
the French government has refused lec-
ognition to Manignt as Haytian minister
to the republic is confirmed here. If he
should return to Hayti from Paris Man-
agat may make trouble. .
Politics in Hayti are in abundance on
account of the ravages of yellow fever,
which is still epidemic. Among the
recent victims of the fever was Henri
Pasqual, French diplomatic representa
tive. He was burie'd with - military
honors, the president attending the
funeral.

Sioux City, and H. B. Claffin & Co., of
New York. No figures as to, assets are
given. Tne failure is due to tbe general
stringency of the times. .
' Caused by a Rumor.
Paris, Dec. 23. Spanish securities
were strong today,' owing to the report
that a dispatch from Washington indi
cated that the United States was ready
to recognize Spanish authority in Cuba
on condition that the United States be
invited to intervene and end the war.
