When the desperadoes had taken all the money, they produced ropes and bound, hand and foot, everyone in the office Thia required nearly ten min utes, and it seems marvelous that they were not discovered. Having bound their victims, the rob bers warned them against making a noise nnder pain of instant death. When the thieves bad gone out, one of the clerks managed to free himself and then liberated the others. The police were at once notified by tele phone. Upon leaving the office, tbe robbers mounted a North Broadway car and went south when they left tbe car and went toward the river. The brewery employes were unable to give the police good descriptions of the men. H undreds of W o n n d e d Spaniards T a k e n to H a v a n a . Cincinnati, Deo. 7.— A special to the Commercial Tribune from Key West, | Fla., says: Passengers by steamer from Havana tonight say that a train with 600 : wounded Spanish soldiers arrived there today. It was said most of them came from the vicinity of San Cristobal and Candelaria. No definite statement could be had as to what battle-field they came from. Humors prevailed on their arrival that Weyler had sus tained another defeat. Counter state ments were also made that the van guard of Maceo’s army had been de feated. Moreover, it was announced that Weyler is on the eve of attempting to storm some of the hill tops where Maceo is entrenched, and this has raised great expectations in Havana. Several American correspondents at Havana have had friendly warnings that Weyler is contemplating deporting some of the more outspoken ones be cause their reports do not please him.
