A Bold Hold-Up by Footpads at
Cleveland.
Leadville, Colo., Nov. IX A light
occurred in a saloon In which five men
were stabbed.one of whom at least will
die. The injured are:
Stephen Frankowltz, wound fatal.
ClJerry Dormanry, wound serigus.
tJoeph Austerman, badly cut.
John Jackson, badly cut.
An unknown man, wound serious.
Fifteen or twenty men were engaged
n tlie affray. A party of Austrian", '
were followed into the saloon by strik
ing miners, who called them "scabs."
The Austrians resented this. Then
the light began, in which kulves were
the only weapons. When the police
arrived all the fighters had escaped
except those who were too badly
wounded to flee. Frankowltz, Dor
mandy, Austerman and an unknown
man were captured. Jackson escaped.
The Austrians are union smelter
men, but were mistaken by the miners
for men who had taken their places in
the mines.
Hold-Up at Cleveland.
Cleveland, Nov. 13. The most
sensational and successful robbery
that has occurred in this city for
years was perpetrated at the works of
the Star Brewing Company yesterday
morning. Nightwatchmaa.Chrlstlan
sen was making his routine Inspection
of the building, when five masked
men sprang out of the darkness. A
fierce struggle ensued. The robberi
were heavily armed, but refrained
from using their weapon. The
watchman was overcome, bound and
gagged and tied to a steam pipe, The
robbers then broke open the ofilce
door and wrapped the safe with wet
blankets. The combination handle
was broken off and the safe blown to
pieces with dynamite.
After securing the contents, and
talcing everything of value in the
the office, the robbers departed. The
watchman managed to free himself,
and gave the alarm. It Is the opin
ion of the police that the crime was
the work of professional safe-blowers.
The robbers secured $5,000 in money
and carried away a coljeption of rare
coins, valued at $1,500.

nf Bhootlng stars began to appear
before midnight, and acquired in
creasing intensity until 4 o clock in
tho morning, and then diminished by
degrees until daylight. Bonpland as
serted that there was not a space in
the sky equal to three diameters of
the moon that was not seen ut every
instant filled with shooting stars.
The Inhabitants of Cumana were
6omewhat alarmed, and recalled to
mind tho fact that the earthquakes
of 1700 were precoded by u similar
phenomen. This shower of shooting
stars lnl709wasobsorvcd throughout
America, In Brazil, In Labrador and
Guiana, Germany, andeven Greenland,
During the night between Novem

therefore, is 72,000 meters.
If the period of the swarm's revolu

might have expected tho return of tho

Havana, NugU&rThc following
details liayoj btSrecclvcd from the
front of the capture of the insurgents
positions In the mountains of EIRubi,

Operations began on Monday. The
plan of the captain-general was toad
vanco on. tho Insurgents' position

umns. Gcnferjil M, Muooz, nt the
head of six battalions of all arms, en
tered tho mountainous district by
Mauuelltn. General JEchaguc, with
four battalions from Artemlsa, en
tered tho mountains by way of Caya
jnga, while Bonot Scgcl with his col
umn, udyanced froni Sonora on tho
insurgent position. Captain-General
Wcylcr, with tho Relna Castilln,
Amtrlea, Barcelona nnd Puerto Rico
battalions, and six field pleccs.pushed
forward from Marlcl to attack tho
Insurgent front nnd cover tho proba
blo outlet from tho mountains. Tho
insurgents believed they hold a strong
position, and they nndoubtcdly oc
cupied points most favorablo for de
fense. General Ecljague advancing from
Artemlsa toward Cayajaga and
thence Into tho mountains, had tho
"better road, and his troops' wore the
first to engago the enemy. After sus
taining a uaranro these troops cap
tured tho insurgents' position in the
pass at tho south entrance to the
mountains.
At daylight on Tuesday tho troops
of General Echaguo were reinforced
by a column commanded by General
Agullar. Tho combined forces at tho
point of the bayonet captured In suc
cession all tho insurgents' positions.
The enemy defended their works with
tenacity, but tho Spanish troops sue
cccdcd In occupying the heights of
El Rubi, tho principal insurgent de
fense In the vicinity of the military
line.
It is believed the greater, part of
tho insurgents in tho province of
Pinar del Rio took part In this engage-
ment. The Spanish troops lost six
men killed. General Echague, six
oflicers of minor-rank and 54 soldiers
wero wounded. Tho insurgents left
seven men killdd on. the field Their
uctual loss Is not known. General
Echaguo was bhot in tho hip after tho
actual fighting was over.
During the engagement a shower of
bullets fell over General Wcyler and
stall, whereupon somebody expressed
anxiety as to tho safety of tho captain
general. To this he replied; "The
bullet which will kill mo Is not yet
cast. General Echaguo nnd tho
other wounded have arrived here
General Lono, after embracing Echa-,
guc, asked after his health. Ho re
plied: "I am doing tolerably well un
der tho circumstances."
