for
New York, Dec. 29.— A special to
the Wo Id from Key West, says:
The Lone S tar company, of the P a­
trio t Arm y of W est Cuba, consisting
of fifteen Texas sharpshooters, perished
to a man a fte r b a ttlin g more than five
hours against vastly superior Spanish
forces in P in ar del Rio province, k ill­
ing doable th e ir own num ber and
w ounding probably as m any more.
H avana officials are ju b ilan t, passen­
gers say, over the news of this viotory.
A Cuban band was observed near
P in a r del Kio city T hursday m orning,
and G eneral M elquiz sent tw o squads
of cavalry to attack it. A fter a ru n ­
ning fight, the band, w hich proved to
be composed of the fifteen Texans, was
chased into a ‘'b o ttle ,” a h it of hum-
m o .k having one opening. The Texans,
sqeing they were in a hole, retreated to
the fu rth er end and fortified them ­
selves behind some boulders.
The
Spanish troopers dism ounted and su r­
rounded them , pouring in a fire from
both sides. The brave Texans replied
and kept up th e fight more than five
hours
By th a t tim e, six of the fifteen
had been k illed and four wounded,
w hile tw enty-five Spaniards had bit
the dust aud ten cr more were wounded.
A flag of truce was sent in by the
Spanish, and the Texans w ere oalled
on to surrender, but the A m ericans re ­
fused, shouting, " W e rem em ber Ms-
ceo. ”
T his in fu riated the S paniards, and
they fought w ith renew ed fierceness.
Tw ice they charged, but the rapid fir­
ing of the brave little band drove them
back. By g e ttin g on a high ridge be­
hin d the Texans’ position, the Span­
iards were enabled to kill all b u t two
of those loft. Those two g alla n tly con­
tinued to fight and held off the enemy
an hour longer. Then, overoome by
th irst aud enfeebled by loss of blood,
flowing from a dozen wonnda, they
w ere cut to pieces by the Spanish, w ho
finally dashed up as the Texans cried,
‘‘Viva Cuba lib re .”

seven m iles from here, a t 7:10 this
m orning, aud tw enty-tw o lives were
lost.
T h at num ber of bodies have
been recovered, ¡ftid fu rth er search may
sw ell the list of dead. The wreck ia
regarded as alm ost certainly accom­
plished by th e rem oval of a ra il on the
m iddle span of the trestle. T his de­
railed the train , w hich caused it to fall
down the two spaus aud precipitated it
into the river, 110 feet below. The
wreck w as the w orst th a t has ever oc­
curred iu the state, and the survivors
ate so few and so badly h u rt, th a t they
are unable to give any detailed descrip­
tion of how it happened.
It is not known and may never be as­
certained ju s t how m any passengers
were on the train . Most of them wore
m iners aud rts id e n ts o f m ining towns
iu th is d istrict who had round trip
tickets, an 1 were re tu rn in g to th eir
homes along the line of the B irm ing­
ham M ineral road.
Conductor K ennel, w ho probably
knew better th an anybody else as to
how m any passengers were aboard, is
dead. It is thought, however, there
w ere not exoeeding tw enty-five or
thirty. Only one passenger purchased
a ticket a t B irm ingham .
The railroad company to n ig h . fu r­
nished the follow ing as the list of dead:
Jam es Bolling, of G uthrie, K y .,
Southern express messenger; F ran k
W hite, of B irm ingham , engineer; A.
P. C onnell, of Helena, oondnotor;
George C arney, of B irm ingham , flag­
m an; R. Webb, of B irm ingham ; Bruce
• C. P h illips, of Blcotou; I. W. M artin,
of Brookwood, A la.; Mis. H enry
H a n lb e rry aud two children, of B ir­
m ingham ; R. H. Blount, of B irm ing­
ham , colored; Miss Ada Powers, of
Bloctou; Dr. L. N. Pow ers, of Blooton;
Mrs. Emm a Powers and tw o children,
of Bluctou; Mrs R, L ittle, of Blooton;
Mr G ardner, of Blooton; Miss G ardner,
of Bloctou; one nnidentified body, sup­
posed to be B. S trother, oolored porter.
Seven -were injured.
The m ineral train s operate over the
Southern railw ay ’s Briarfield, Blooton
& B irm ingham branch, under a con­
tra c t arrangem ent. Six m iles south of
Guorney is the Caliaba riv er, a shallow
m ountain stream , w hich has a depth
a t th is tim e of about three or fonr feet
T his riv er is spanned by an iron bridge,
w ith wooden trostles on euoli side. Its
entire length is 800 feet, and the height
of the span, w here tho wreck occurred,
is 110 fuet. The bridge w as b u ilt only
four years Rgo, and wus regarded as a
very safe structure. The m ain span
and the span ju s t beyond it, both made
of iron, gave way and precipitated the
entiro tra in into the river. The en­
gine landed on its side, alm ost a t rig h t
angles w ith the truck. The cars piled
upon each other through the m ain span.
The entire wreck took tire soon a fter­
w ards, and was rapidly burned to the
w a te r's edge. N ine persons alone es­
caped alive from all who w ent down,
aud several of them w ill probably die.
The first news was brought to H ar-
greave, a station four m iles from the
Cababa river, by a farm er, who aaid
th a t w hile passing near the place, he
heard a crash. G oing nearer, he saw
the tw o spans of the bridge broken out.
He then discovered the burning w reck­
age in the shallow w ator below. He
could hear the groans of the wounded
and dying, bnt w ithout w aitin g to see
fu rth er, he rode on horseback to H ar-
greave as rapidly as he oould, w here
th e operator telegraphed to B irm in g ­
ham and Blooton for relief.
M eanw hile, a few country people
gathered a t the soi-ne to render w hat
aid they conld, but it was too late to
do much. Nine people had gotten oat
and the rest hud been burned in tbe
wreckage.

New York, Deo. 28.— A W orld spec­
ial from Key W est says:
The lone-atar flag of Cuba has met
the red and yellow banker of C astile
npou the seas
Tbe sharpnel, shell aud
rifle volleys of a brave filibuster have
m ade answ er to the roar of Spanish
tw elve-pounders, and have gained for
Cuba Libre the first victory on the
ocean.
The filibustering steam er Three
Friends sailed from Fernadina, Decem­
ber 13, carrying a valuable cargo of
m unitions of w ar for tbe Cuban in s u r­
gents. A fter eluding the vigilance of
the U nited States w arships and revenue
cutters, aud dodging every sail upon
the ocean, the little steam er, w ith
about fifty men, was w ith in h ailiu g
distance of Cnba, on the sixth n ig h t
out.
Surprised, trapped aud fired
upon, she threw shot into the Spanish
naval coaster, frightened off a big guu-
boat, and escaped from a sw ift orniser,
steering out to sea.
The T hree F riends p u t in again to
the joast, and safely landed her oargo
on the border of the g reat Z apata
iwanip. N ot before in C uba’s struggle
for liberty has the flag of Spain been
fired upon a t sea. No other filibuster,
after having been attaoked by the en-
emv, lias stood by her guns and fu l­
filled her perilous mission.
The aocouut of the history-m akiug
trip is th rillin g in tho extreme.
As soon as the enomy was sighted
the captain, undaunted, declared he
would land a t the San Ju an , w here he
bad been ordered, If he had to go
through hell to do it. He then told
hia men they wonld have to fight.
They broke open the rifle aud oartrigde
boxes aud soon the entire party were
armed. Sharpshooter Gorm an gathered
hia riflemen along the stern ra il upon
the upper deck. M ajor Morales waa
in charge. A flash from the ooaster
aud another in qniok succession and a
solid shot splashed in the w ater several
rods from the vessel.
The Three
Friends was under fn ll steam en­
deavoring to escape from the Spanish
cruiser. They were now about 800
yards apart. Then the Spaniard fired
for tho th ird tim e, failing a few rods
astern of the filibuster, but in a direct
line.
“ Use the H otohkiss,” oommauded
M ajor Moralea.
G unner M ichael W elsh heard the
oommaud w ith joy and oalled out to
C aptain O’Brien to aw ing the ship
around.
In a m in ate the fllibaater
waa am lost broadside to the coaster.
The iHtter boomed forth agaiii, bnt
the smoke bad not cleared aw ay before
the Hotchkiss in the prow of the Three
F riends belched forth and sent a shell
between the short m asts of tbe coaster,
•quarely over her engines. The shell
did not burst, but the Spaniards
seemed paralyzed w ith fear.
Several men on the lower deck opened
fire w ith rifles, and this w as followed
by a ra ttlin g volley from the line of
men on tbe upper deck. The sharpnel
fired from the H otchkiss ended tbe
fight, ns the Spaniards sailed away,
firing rockets calling for assistance.
The call for assistance was prom ptly
answered, fur w hile the filibuster was
sw inging into position to allow the
Hotchkiss to play upon tbe enemy, a
gunboat doable the size of the coaster
appeared on the port side. She opened
fire w ith heavy guns, but did not bHve
the range.
G unner W elsh ram m ed another
sharpnel into the gun on the prow aud
yanked tbe lanyard. Tbe shell flew
straig h t for the gunboat aud burst di-
recily over her. It was answ ered by
a still heavier thunder from the g u n ­
boat, retn rn in g shell for shell. Tbe
shot from the Spaniard disabled tw o of
the landing-boats of the filibuster, but
did not do other damage. The H otch­
kiss was again loaded w ith sharpnel,
and the next discharge struck tbe
coaster am idships.
Then the Three
Friends put on steam , leaving the w ar­
ship, possibly disabled, but, a t all
events, silent and defeated, out of sight
behind a point of land.
As the cargo of the T hree Friends
was being landed, the Spanish coast
patrol came up and a fierce fight ensued
between them and the C ubans sent by
G eneral Gomez to escort the oargo into
his ca m p A fter two hours of flght-
iug, tho Spaniards were driven off and
the cargo waa landed and safely c ar­
ried into tbe interior.
The vessel then lay to for several
days in a secluded oove aDd started for
Florida last Monday. She was pursued
by several gunboats aa ah* entered the
W indw ard Pass, and a ball from one
of them tore a hole in her bulwark*.
A barrel of oil on tbe furnace Area soon
rau up the steam , and the fast uraft
swept away.
Em erging from the kays, two
oruiaers w ere found w aitin g for her,
and a raoe ensued. T be Spanish ves­
sels fired on her (or half an hour.

D ow n a Boy.
Chicago, Dec. 28 —George E. Den­
m ark, 7 yeais old, was killed by a
trolley-car at Troop and E ig h tten th
streets, this afternoon. Fred Bernier,
motorm an, waa threatened w ith lynch­
ing, for killing the boy, and was w ith
g reat difficulty
rescued from the
mob of Bohemians, who. incensed a t
the terrible aooideut, surroundtd the
oar and dragged B ernier from tbe p la t­
form , determ ined to hang him. Patrick
H anley, the oondnetor, m anaged to
save Bernier from the mob, and then a
riot call was sent to the M axwell street
station. The police took charge of the
m otorm an and conductor and looked
them np.
A fter the boy had been killed, Motor-
man B ernier took refuge in the oar,
w hich stood w ith in a few feet of w here
the aocident ocourred, and in an in ­
stan t it was beseiged by angry men.
He attem pted to keep them out by
latchiug tho doors on tbe inside, hut
they broke the doors in, kuouked him
down aud kicked and beat him for a
few moments in a shocking m anner.
He managed, however, to get aw ay
from them , and ran to the door of
drugstore, w here he was handed a pis­
tol, aud was adm itted inside by Mr.
K vitok, the proprietor, before any
fu rth er harm befell him . The orowd
surged around the store and yelled:
‘‘Break it in i K ill him !”
It looked for h m inute as if the store
w ould be raided, but Mr. K vitek had
made use of tho telephone.
He called
on the M axwell station first for an am ­
bulance, but by th a t tim e m atters bad
got ao warm th a t he requested a patrol
w agon. In a few m inutes the wagon
brought a num ber of officers, who did
all they oould to q uiet the mob. W hen
sorno degree of quiet had been restored
the polico arreated'the endangered men
and took them to the station. T here
tbe men seemed unconoerned, and de­
clined to make a statem ent.
There were m auy versions given of
the accident.
W ell-inform ed people
living in tbe neighborhood said they
had been expooting som ething of the
kind for a long tim e, and were only
surprised th a t it did not happen sooner.

W ilson, who w ent to the peuitentiary
for a long term of years for m urder,
came into Spokane last night, and to­
day w ent to Mica, where his parents
live. He hud been unexpectedly par­
doned.
The circum stances under whioh W il­
son wus sent to ja il were most peculiar.
Two years ago, some sm all boys un­
earthed the body of a man th a t was
subsequently identified as th a t of
Jam es Johnson, brother-in-law of Ben­
ton Wilson. The body was found two
m iles from the W ilson homestead.
Benton Wilson and his father were a r ­
rested and charged w ith m urder. The
fath er w h s first placed on tria l, and
tho case looked black for him . P er­
ceiving this, Bentou arose aud eon-
teased to having m urdered bis brother-
in-law . He suid Johnson had abused
hia wife, W ilson's sister; bad returned
to the farm and had threatened his
wife, if she did not come back to the
city. Wilson said th a t he accompanied
them to a lonely stretch of woods, and,
a t an opportune moment, fell upon him
and clubbed him to death. F o r this
he was sentonoed to a long term of
years in the penitentiary. I t is a case

M ansur, the A m erican who was urreat-
ed several weeks ago by the Mexican
customs officials a t Tia Jn an a for a l­
leged infraction of the laws governing
the free zone, has been released by the
Kusenada authorities and is again at
hia home on th is aide. Hia release waa
obtained through the intervention of
Hon. Anthony Godbe, American vice-
consul, a u l a cash bail wa* obtained,
w hich allow ed M ansur to leave the
country.
M ansnr said today th at bia oaae was
tem porarily settled, and he did not ex­
pect it to oome np again for six month*
or a year. It is probable tbe cash bail
w ill be quietly accepted and no fu rth er
action taken, especially aa M ansur's
infraction of the law was slight.
M ansur's w ife's fam ily lives at Ro­
sario, about tw o mile* south of the

them , taking his team and paying no
attention to the law , being an old resi­
dent and acquainted w ith the official*.
B nt a new adm inistration of the Tia
Ju a n a custom-house, Senor Motavel-

sm uggling a horse into the country,
and imposed a heavy fine npou him.
F a ilin g to pay tbe fine, M ansur waa a r­
