A SERIES OE HARD CONTESTS
Insurgents Capture a Spanish Convoy
In Fioar del Rio Town of
HoIgulD Captured.
New York, Nov. 4. A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says : '
The insurgent troopa in the field are
very active. On October 30 the Span
iards sustained the most severe loss they
have met for some time. On the borders
6f Matanzas province General Molina
was defeated by the insurgents under
General Betancourt.
General' Molina was on his way to
Havana with a brigade of troops to par
ticipate in Blanco's reception. At Agu
acate he heard that the rebels were en
camped in Purgatory hills, and broke
his marchto attack them. Tne fight
was a lopg one and the Spanish loes was
large. He was finally forced to re
treat. In Picar del Rio province the rebels
under command of Captain Lorr , at
tacked a convoy that left San Cayetano
and ciptored a large supply of clothing
and ammunition...
A report apparently well founded is
current in Havana to the effect that
Holguin has been captured by rebbels
uder Cebreco. That has been attacked
and that 75 Spaniards were killed, is ad
mitted, but the capture' is denied.
General Luqun with heavy re:-iforce-ments
left Havana yesterday for Hol
guin. In a baok on the Cuban war just pub
lished, here. General Weyler writes the
introduction. In one place ha says :
"The system of warfare carried on by
me in this campaign is not a new one.
It is the same as 'that pursued by the
Americans of the North when they
fought tneir brethren of the South."
A million dollars in paper currency
has mysteriously disappeared from the
treasury here. The money was intend
ed for the payment of the navy and the
troops.
This fact coupled with an attempt to
deprive the army and navy of their pay
for the months of April, May and June
is causing great indignation.
Spain Ready to Defy Us.
Madrid, Nov. 4. The Spanish . cabi
net has decided to reply to the United
States minister's acknowledgment of the
Spanish note in reply to the represen
tations of the United States on the sub
ject of Cuba, declaring in guarded terms
that with reference to granting autono
my to Cnba, Spain will do what she sees
fit..
It is also understood that the Span
ish government is determined to main
tain that the Spanish officers acted cor
rectly 'in making the capture of the
Competitor in April, 1896, and the pro
tocol of 1877 solely referred to American
citizens residing in Cuba.
The letter of Senor Salvon, published
in the Spanish newspapers yesterday,
Replying to the article of Hannis Taylor
formerly United ' States minister to
Spain, on the Cuban question, recently
published in the American magazine,
has created the greatest etir here. The
Spanish papers hotly attack Taylor. -

Columbus, Nov. 4. Up to noon, the
state committees had not changed their
respective claims. Their advices from
the close counties indicate that protests
are being filed today in anticipation of
contests of about a dozen eeats in the
legislature. . '
The state ticket is no longer in dis

is increasing.
2,000 Men Wilt be Kinployrd.
Los Angeles, Nov. 4. Another im
portant enterprise in the beet-sugar in
dustry is about to be launched by the
Oxnards, proprietors of tho Chiuo fac
tory. . After examining several different
sites in widely different localities?, they
have at last decided in favor of Huene
me, Ventura county. In selecting this
locality preference was shown over San
Louis Obispo and Sacramento eounties,
as well as over Texas, all of which places
were in competition for securing the
proposed factory.
The production of beets raised upon
10,000 acres of land for. five consecutive
years has been guaranteed for the fac
tory's use at the price of $3.25 per ton
duriDg the entire term. One hundred
acres of land for. the factory site has
been donated by the local people inter
ested. Work on the building of the factory
will begin promptly, in order to have it
ready for the crop of 1898. It is to have
a capacity of 1,000 tons of beets per day.
which will be increased to 25,000 tons
in 1898. It will give employment to
1,000 men at the factory, while from
1,000 to 1,500 men will ,be employed in
the field. -'

Domestic service in America has
passed through' three distinct phases.
The first extends from the early col
onization to the time of the revolution;
the second from the revolution to about
1850; the third from 1850 to the present
jtimie.
:- During' the colonial period service of
every-kind was performed by trans-,
ported ' convicts, indentured white
servants or "redemptioners," "free will
ers," negroes and Indians. . The first
three classes convicts, redemptioners
and free willera were of European, at
first g-enerally English, birth. . " "
- Protests were often made against
sthis method of settlement, both by the
colonists themselves and by English
men, but it was long before the English
government abandoned the practice of
transporting criminals to the Ameri
can colonies.
Of the three classes of whites, or
Christian servants, as they were called
to distingush them from the Indians
anoT negroes, the free willers were
evidently found only in Maryland. They
w ere received under the condition that
they be allowed a certain number of
days in which to dispose of themselves
to the greatest advantage." ' " - " y
' It i? impossible to state: the pro
portion of servants belonging to the two
classes of transported convicts and re
demptioners, but the statement is ap
parently fair that the redemptioners
who sold themselves into service to pay
for the cost of their passage constituted
by for the larger portion. These were
found in ail the colonies', though more
numerous in the southern and middle
colonies than in New. England. In
Virginia and Maryland they outnum
bered the negro slaves until the latter
part of the seventeenth century. In
Massachusetts apprenticed servants,
bound for a term of years, were sold
from ships in Boston as late as 1730,
while the general trade in bound white
servants lasted until the time of the
revolution, and in Pennsylvania even
until this century.
"SThe first redcrationers were natural
ly of English birth, but after a time they'
were supplanted by those of other
nationalities, particularly by Germans
and Irish. As early as 1718 there was a
complaint of the Irish immigrants in
Massachusetts. . -
It has been said that a great majority
of the redemptioners belonged at- first
to a low class in the social scale. A con
siderable number, however, both men
and women, belonged to the re
spectable, even to tho so-called upper
class of society.' They were Kent over
to preve c "lisadvantageous iuarriages,
to secure inheritances to other members
of a family or to further some criminal
scheme. .
Many of these bond servants sold
themselves into servitude, others were
disposed of through emigration brok-.
ers and still others were kidnaped, be
ing enticed on shipboard by persons
called "spirits." The evil of "spiriting
away," both childrea and adults, be
came so great that in 1CC4 the commit
tee for foreign plantations interposed,
and the council created the office of
register, charged with the duty of keep
ing a record cf all persons going to
America as servants, and the statement
that they had voluntarily left England.
This act was soon followed by another
fixing the penalty of death, without
benefit of clergy, in every case where
persons were found guilty of kidnap
ing children or adults. But even these
extreme measures did not put an end
to the evil; and it is stated that 10,000
persons were annually kidnaped after
the passage of the act.
The wages paid were, as a rule, small,
though some complaints are found,
especially in New England, of high
wages and poor service. More often the
wages were a mere pittance. Elizabeth
Evans came from Ireland to serve John
Wheelwright, for three '"' years. Her
wages were to be three pounds a year
and passage paid. Margery Batman,
. after five years of service in Charles-
town, was to receive a she goat tojhelp
ner in starting life. Mary Polly, accord'
ing to the terms of her indenture, was
to serve ten years and then receive
"three barrels, of corn, and one suit of
penistone and one suit shirts of dowlas
and one black hood, two hifts of dowlas
and shoes and hose convenient."
