WE REMEMBER MACEO
The Texaiis Answer to a De
mand for Surrender.
AS AT THE ALAMO, ALL ARE KILLED
Surrounded by Overwhelming Jium
bem They Sell Their Liven
Dearly Their Z.unt Cry,
"Vive Cuba Libra."
New Yoek, Dec, 27. A special to the
World from Key West, Bays :
The Lone Star company, of the Patriot
Army of West Cuba, consisting of 15
Texas sharpshooters, perished to a man
after battling more than five hours
against vastly superior Spanish forces in
Pinar-del Bio province, killing double
their own number and wounding prob
ably as many more. Havana Officials
are jubilant, passengers say, over the
news of this victory.
A Cuban band was observed near
Pinar del Bio city Thursday morning
and General Melquiz sent two squads of
cavalry to attack it. After a running
fight, the baud, which proved to be com
posed of the 15 Texans, was chased into
a "bottle," a bit of hummock having one
opening. The Texans, seeing they were
in a hole, retreated to the further end
and fortified themselves behind some
boulders. TheSpanish troopers dis
mounted and surrounded them. ponriDg
in a fire from both sides. The bra ye
Texans replied and kept up the fight for
more than five hours. By that time, six
of the 15 bad been killed and four
wounded, while 25 Spaniards had bit the
dust and 10 or more were wounded.
A flag of truce was sent in by the
Spanish, and tha Texans were called on
to surrender, but the Americans refused,
shouting. "We remember Maceo."
This infuriated the Spaniards, and
they fought with renewed fierceness.
Twice they charged, but the rapid firing
of the brave little band drove them back.
By getting on a high ridge behind the
Texan's position, the Spaniards were
enabled to kill all but two of those left.
Those two gallantly continued to fight
and held off the enemy an hour longer.
Then, overcome by thirst and enfeebled
by loss of blood, flowing from a dozen
wonnds, they were cut to pieces by the
Spanish, who finally dashed up as the
Texans cried, "Vive Cuba libre."

COAL. MIKES ON FIRE.
Valuable Property In Nova Scotia Seems
to be Doomed.
Halifax, N. S. Dec. 26. Abont 5
o'clock Thursday the coal mines of
Springhill were discovered to be on fire.
The fire originated in a pipeway on
the east slope of the 800-foot level, and
soon ate into the 300-foot.
When Government Inspector Gilpin
arrived fire was issuing from every open
ing of the mine. Two cupolas were
burned and a bankhead had to be torn
away. The miners tried to stop up
every airway. Gilpin bad to call the
men from this work, as it was attended
with great risk. . The flames shot 100
feet into the air, the reflection being
visible at Amherst.
The extent of the fire is not known,
but most disastrous consequences are
feared. The loss of the east elope is be
lieved to be complete. At 4 p. m., Fri
day, the slope was reached all right, but
the men will have hard work to save it.
Five years ago 130 lives were lost by an
explosion in these mines.
It is likely the most serious damages
will be confined to the east slope, in
which the fire started. It seems to be
burning itself out. The loss wtll be
enormous.
The fire will cause great destitution
among the miners, as, oven if the fire
does not spread through the entire mine,
it is considered doubtful if work can be
resumed during the winter.

King's New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds, so demand it and do
not permit the dealer to eell you some
substitute. He will not claim . there is

New Discovery because you know . it to

Colds, Consumption and for all affec

Something to Know.
It may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centres in a the. stomach,
gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids, these organs in throwing off
impurities in the blood. Electric Bit
ters improves the appetite, aids diges
tion and is pronounced by those who
have tried it as the very best blood puri
fier and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for
50o or $1.00 per bottle at Blakeley &
Houghton's Drug Store.- (2)

HOW CHILDREN ARE SPOILED.
The Young Mother Fosters Ugly Traits by
Injudicious Management.
The dangers that cluster about the
v.ntried feet of the young mother begin
from the very first dawning1 of her
babe's intelligence. Long before she
dreams of bis knowing anything1 or re
ceiving mental impressions, the seeds
are sowing for good or ill in his char
acter. I have watched the growth of
weeds that, with the lightest touchy
might have been flipped away from the
tender soil, but time passed by and the
intruder flourished apace. Get control
o your child during the first tlirec
years and you are sure of him. If the
habit of obedience and deference is
firmly rooted then he will never fail you
in after years -when he has slipped the
apron leash.
The trouble is too often with the
parents. The mother herself fosters
ugly traits by injudicious management.
Her baby refuses to kiss her. She makes
believe to cry about it and thus gives a
lesson that will soon have him crying
for what he wants. He bumps his head
and she whips the door or whatever it
was that hurt him, thus teaching him to
be combative and spiteful. What is it.
that makes nearlj- all children liars and
many of them thieves? They are
trained to be so by the unconscious fin
gers that point the way. The mother
promises anything, everything to keep
peace and avoid a combat with, the
little'creature, who even now is beyond
her control. She does not fulfill these
promises and the child becomes her
judge. Never tell a lie to a child, or in
any way deceive bim, if you would hope
to get the proper influence. Do not rob
him of the happiness of supreme trust
in you. It will cling to him through life.

Askotl Too Much. (
"Is it true that your engagement is
broken?"
The beautiful girl inclined her head
slightly and acted as if she considered
the subject a particularly painful one.
'He must have done something ter
rible," persisted the best friend. "I
never knew of anyone more devoted
than vou."
'We could have been happy if it were
not for his intolerant spirit," answered
the beautiful girl. "I gave in to him on
every point that I could and still retain
my independence, but when he insisted
that I should give up my bicycle and
ride the retake he favored it was too
much." Chicago Post.
