An important battle is expected hour

most formidable demonstration against
Havana of the year. General Parros

Rivera and a negro named Osman. They
went into Consalo from Blanco with
money and a proposition to lay down
his arms and accept autonomy. A note

fate. , ' .". . '

ing the month of July, acknowledged
.her identity, besides giving more or leBS
explanation relative to the reason which

agRin on trial for his life."
Such was the startling declaration
made by John Schofield, of St. Louis,
to & Globe man. Schofield supplement

tive assertion that Mrs. Luetgert was
at the house, No. 7 Bullfinch place, for a
period of three or four days- during the

as well as for reason? which she thought

that he believed Mrs. Luetgert was still
in Boston, and that she will yet be

The Globe has interviewed Mr. Moss,
of No. 7 Bullfich place, who says that
the woman supposed to be Mrs. Luet
gert went by th name of Millie Barker.
One day the woman seemed distressed

ROASTED IN A. SMOKESTACK-
A Boilermaker the Victim of Criminal
Carelessness.
San Francisco, Dec. 10. Michael
Parcell, a boiler-maker, was making
some repairs inside the smokestack of
the steamer Wilmington, at the Fulsom-
street wharf, when six fires, were care
lessly started below him. He was strap
ped in a chair suspended from the top
of the stack forty - feet from the dampers
below. It waB impossible to go up, and
to go down without assistance meant be
ing roasted alive. '; ''- r . '"
Dense volumes of hot smoke began
sailing up the stack'.while Purcell shout
ed loudly for help. The beat increased
every moment until the toiler-makers
clothes caught oh fire. - He beat on the
pipe with all his might, and shouted for
full ten minutes before his helper on the
outside, ' Martin ' Pil pot, "realized his
plight and rescued him, just as the rope

DE LOME HAS ENEMIES.
Efforts at New York to . Have the Span
ish Minister Recalled.
New York, Dec. 10. The Spanish
colony in this city has been divided by
a petition sent to Madrid at the time of
the assassination of Premier Canovas,
asking for the appointment of a strong
successor to Senor de Lome. According
to the World the petition was made so

as to attack de Lome without mention
ing hia name, and among the forty
prominent Spaniards who signed it were
several friends of the minister who did
not see any attack in the apparently
harmless recommendation. The result
is a bitterness among the factions almost
as strong as their hatred of the Cubans.
The petition says : .
."For Spain to succeed in ber relations
with the United States Bhe most have
in Washington a representative of abili
ty and firmness, whose heart will beat
with the pulsation ot our mother coun
try, and with a head balanced to base
all his diplomatic relations on an indis
putable right, and not allow the right to
be curtailed in the least by nnfounded
demands or unjust pretensions from the
opposing party." .
The enemies of de Lome are said to be
Senor Canelejas and A. Taltavnlla.' They
charge the minister with lack of fore
sight and weakness, with permitting
Americans to have a voice in Spanish
affairs and with bowing to the 'senate.
These opponents are led by Zeraus, for
merly vice-president of the Spanish ex
change. . - - . .
How to Prevent Pneumonia.
At this time of,. the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and if left to run its
course without the aid ot some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in that
dread disease, pneumonia. We know of
no better lemedy to cure a cough or cold
than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
We have used it quite extensively and it
has always given entire satisfaction
Olagah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy tLat is knowu
to be a certain preventive of pneumonia
Among the many thousands who have
used it for colds' and la grippe, we have
not yet learned of a single case having re
suited in pneumonia. Persons who have
weak lungs or have reason to fear an at
tack of pneumona,' ' should keep the
remedy at hand. The 25 and 50 cent
