ATTACKED BY CUBANS, Two Gunboatszve a Sharp Fight With Bold Rebels on Shore. | , | | A Spanish Convey, Censisting of Arms, ; Ammunition £ni Provisions, i Captured. | HAVANA, Cusa, June 20.—The Spanish | gunboats Sateliite and Ardilla, while mak- | inga cruise of inspection along the coast | near Vertientes, close by the terminus of the Jucaro-Mcron trocha, were attacked by | rebels from the shore. With the assistance of the garrison of the fort the enemy was repulsed after a sharp fight. The rebels | lost seventeen dead and many wounded. | Commander Bauza of the Ardilla was also | wounded, but not seriously. General Bernal, operating near Fran- | cisco in the Pinar del Rio province, re- ports that he has dislodged a party of rebels from their position in the hills in that ity, capturing their camp and destroying 100 huts. In the engagement preceding the taking of the camp eighteen | of the insurgents were killed and two of | the Spanish force were wounded. | General Gasco reports that a band of | rebels numbering 600 attacked a force of | sixty guerrillas on tihe road from Man- | zanillo to Bayamo, and a_long and fiercc | tight ensued.” The guerrillas were re-en- | forced by 200 troops, and the enemy was defeated and driven toward Peralejo. of the rebels were killed. losses were a lieutenant and a corporal killed, and a captain and fifteen privates | wounded. 1 The Commercio squadron, which was | organized last year by merchants, has | been disbanded because of a lack of funds, | severe penalties being inflicted upon per- | sons connected with it, | Consul-General Lee was busy the whole day vesterday preparing a report which, it is believed, was sent to Washington to-day. The convoy captured by the rebels on the Cauto River consisted of 900 rifles and | 135,000 cartridges, besides a great quaniity | of provisions destined for Bayamo. ! It is rumored that Manzanillo has been attacked, but details are lackin ». | It is said a big fight occurred yesterday | near Cabbias, in Pinar del Rio province, | belween the forces of Maceoand the Span- ish under General Gonzalez Munoz.

Y., June 20.—A spe- cial to the Herald from Havana, via Key West, says: Consul-General Lee forwarded to Presi- of the utmost importance. The dispatches contain the full reports of the Consul-Gen- eral upon the Cuban situation and are of an extremely sensational character. In the dispatches there are two quite di tinet documents, the one wholly confiden- tial and for the personal information of | President Cleveland; the other z clear, frank exposition of the situation in the island at the present time. ‘With the grea test candor the representa- tives of the United States in Havana de- scribes the exissing condition of affairs in ‘uba, both from a political and a commer- cial point of view. Notwithstanding Consul Lee’s extreme | reticence I am justified in drawing the conclusion that his document is of tre- mendous importance to the United States ana to Spain. So strong is it in fact that its conterts may, it is hinted, be made the basis of armed intervention in Cuban affairs on the part of the administration at Washington. The report, intended as information particularly designed for the Department of State and whici will be presented to Secretary Olney, is, I am informed, a com- plete and impartial review of the field. Consul-General Lee takes the ground that the only possible solution of the dreadful problem existing in the island is autonomy on Canadian lines. While the Spanish flag flies in the island of Cuba, Consul-General Lee says no other remedy can be found to stay the rebellion or end the bloodshed and devastation which are at present making a Golgotha of oneof the fairest portions of the earth’s surface. Even this remedy, the Consul-General informs Presi- dent Cleveland and Secretary Olney, at this late day, may be ineffectual. 3¢ i Made a Bad Impression at Madyid. MADRID, Srarx, June 20.—A very bad impression has been made here by cebie- grams received from the Unitea States announcing that the Cuban flag was dis- vlayed at the Republican National Con- vention at 8t. Lonis. The press, in their comments upon the occurrence, agree that the real Cuban question is not in Cuba but in tbe United States, and the Government is urged to prepare at once for all contin- gencies. | MISSIONARIES IN JEOPARDY. | and very general dissatisfaction having SOME MORE BARGAI NEW TO-DAY, B e ST bl gl I NS WORTH HEARING ABOUT.

THE PLAGUE IN CHINA. Female Children Sold in the Markets for Less Than Thirty Dollars. Kiangyin Outrages Investigated by Lieutenant McLean of the U. S. S. Boston. TOKIO, Japax, May 31.—The famine in Kwangsi province has become so severe that rice is selling for $10 or $12 a picul, or about 8 to 9Ycents a pound. Atsuch a price only wealthy persons can afford to use this staple article of diet. It isstated that, in view of the impossibility of sup- porting life in the poorer families, permis- sion has been given to sell children, and that girls from 2 to 14 years of age are offered in the opem market forfrom §3 to $30. At Hongkong the danger of an increase of the bubonic plague being imminent, been expressed with the action of the sani- tary committee, which consists chiefly of | officials, British subjects were invited to vote wnether the committee should con- sist entirely of civilians or principally of ofticials. Only 362 persons took the trou- ble to vote, but 300 of them were in favor of civilians only. The British Consul at Canton has taken steps to form an estimate of the ravages of the plague in that city. By counting the cotfins as they passed out of the gates of the city he concluded that about 240 peo- ple are dying daily. The population of Canton is something like a million and a half. The Kiangyin anti-missionary outrage has evoked vigorous official action, but al- though the plot has been unraveled and the guilty persons arrested another eruel feature has been added to the affair. It will be remembered that an accusation of murdering children having been preferred against the missionaries by a quack doc- tor, who entertained a grudge against them in connection with the lease of their premises, a search of the house and yard made in the presence of the mob revealed the body of al15-months-old child. The before the United States Consul-General, who immediately communicated with Shanghai, and also with Peking, the re- United States steamship Boston was or- dered to vproceed to Chinkiang to com- plete a report, and the Boston was got ready to proceed up the river. Meanwhile a Chinese family, who were friendly to the missionaries, had applied themselves to discover the truth. They succeeded in ob- under the influence of opium. It appears that the accomvlice had been informed by the doctor that the missionaries would give him $20 for the body of a child, and the two, proceeding at midnight to a grave, carried off a corpse and hid it under unearthed it pound, whence the doctor ficials and of an infuriated mob. the children, goink to burn incense at the grave, saw that the body had been re- | moved. The friends of the missionaries induced her to prefer a complaint, and thus the whole plot was divulged. unfortunately, the quack doctor knew the family that had been instrumental in ex- posing the truth. To be avenged on them he declared, when making his confession, that the eldest son had been an accom- plice. The man was arrested. At first he | maintained his innocence, but being sub- jected to torture i:is fortitude gave way and he felsely implicated himself. What- ever rearess may ultimately be obtained, the cost of befriending the missionaries will thus seem very high to the people of Kiangyin. Reports from Hankow show thai the crop of China tea would have been excep- tionally fine this year had not the pro- | ducing districts been visited by heavy rains at the time of drying and firing the leaf. It is related of a Cantonese girl that, hearing of the terrible famine in the neighboring province, she sold all her jewels and ornaments and adding the pro- ceeds to her ovn savings and to money obtained at her solicitations from rich relatives, succeeded in making up a sum of $3000 toward the relief fund. MASHONALAND IN REVOLT. Troops Are Being Hurriedly Shipped to Cape Towa—A Long and Desultory Warfare Is Certain. LONDON, Exe., June 20.—Concurrent advices from Cape Town are to the effect that the whole of Mashonaland is in in- surrection. Troops have been hurriedly shipped at Cape Town to go by way of Beira to relieve the Britisn. Throughout Rhodesia the British only hold the terri- torv within a mile of the forts. Settiers everywhere have been murdered by the Marabeles. The troops already 1n the country find great difficulty in conduct- ing operations owing 1o the deficiency of food and horses. A long and desunliory warfare is certain. This will invelve the expenditute of funds from the imperial exchequer and the consequent abolition of the charter of the British South Africa Company.
