MADRID, Spars, Dec. 9.—The corre- epondent of the Imparcial, the only news- paper representative accompanying the Spanish army in its campaign against the insurgent leader, Antonio Maceo, sends an account of the engagement fought on December 7 about fifteen miles from Havana between a reconnoitering party of 500 Spanish troops under Major Cirujeda and about 2000 insurgents, in which Maceo d to have been killed. The rebels were found in a good position at San Pedro, sheltered behind stone alls, ete. Though the Spanish troops ¢ been under the fire of detachments of bels for some time before coming up to N main body of the insurgents Major Cirnjeda charged the rebels with fixed bayonets and desperate fighting at close ters ensued, lasting until night. The Spaniards then retired to Punta Brava, having austea tneu ammunition and lost a number of men. During -the reconnoisance upward of s dead rebels were found, among them two bodies which were undoubtedly those of Antonio Maceo, the insurgent leader, and a son of General Maximo Gomez.

Not Known Whether He Has Encoun- tered Any Body of Insurgents. HAVANA, Cusa, -Dec. 9. —A corre- pondent at Artemisa reports that Gen- ith his troops, passed tobal, in Pinar del Rio ce, on the 7th, marching along the | v east toward Candelaria, It is; unknown, the correspondent adds, | ether or not the captain-general has ericountered any body of insurgents. The Havana newspapers all priut lead- ing articles upon the alleged death of Maceo, and all of them express joy over report of his demise. They also pub- h a detalled account of the finding of | the bodies alleged to be those of Maceo and g Gomez, tending to verifly the re- ports of their death. It is reported that a band of rebels at- tacked Arroyo Naranja, near Havana, setting fire to many of the houses in the town. After sharp fighting the insurgents were repulsed. Five of the soldiers form- ing the garrison of the town were wounded and one woman was killed. The rebels, it is sdid, lost heavily, but carried their dead and wounded away with them. Jacinto Collado Rodriguez was shot to- day at Matanzas for the crime of rebellion. Twenty-five hundred more re-enforce- ments for the army in Cuba arrived from €pain to-day. Captain-General Weyler, in view of the scarcity of the supply of meat for the troops and the residents of inthe Piner del Rio province, 3 the difficulty of getting cattle ter, issued a decree ordering the ops to assist the cattlemen to get their téck into the fields. The decree also pre- " <crives rules for the payment to the own- ers of the value of their cattle. Tue newspaper press of Havana remains silent concerning the references to Cuba contained in President Cleveland’s mes- sage. Official circles also maintain abso- lute reserve in regard to the subject. gy SPANISH CABINET MEETING. President Cleveland’s Jessage a Matter of Grave Discussion. MADRID, £parx, Dec. 9.—The Heralde says: The Cabinet held a meeting to-day for the purpose of considering President Cleveland’s message to Congress. Ex- Premier Sagasta declared that the message s of so.much imporiance that he will await the receipt of the full text of the document before discussing it. All of the Spanish newspapers declare that the message provokes Europe, nqt Spain alone. The general opinion here is that the references to Cuba and Spain contatned in President Cleveland’s mes- sage to Congress show that it is the inten- tion of the United States to conform more and more to the Monroé doctrine each time a case arises to which that principle is applicable. The Cabinet afier debating the text of the message tc-day will form a definite judzment, which it is believed will result in e modification of the relations of Spain »ith the Umted States. - e 3 BELIEVES MACEO LIVES. credits the Leports. BOSTON, Mass , Dec. 9.—Captain G. H. Lane of the Cuban army was in Cam- bridge y and he characterized the report of Maceo’s death as a Spanish trick 10 off-et the effect of the message of Presi- dent Cleveland, ‘While it was possible, | ) ptain Tane of the Cuban Army Dis- to-d Le said, that Maceo had been killed, yet it was altogether improbable that he would have been found by the Spaniards at the head of so small a detachment of men as it is reported he was leading. Then agal he stated, the general was certainly miles away from where the skirmish is reported to have occurred. Captain Lane left here to-night for New York. He was wounded badly about two months ago by a gun shot in the leg and was granted a month’s leave of absence. He is now on his way back to Cuba. While Captain Lane would not speak of the number of men in the Cuban army, be stated that they were numerous enough to meet Weyler and his soldiers in open battle, if Gomez and Maceo so determined, with the result that the Spanish would be driven to Havana in disorder. The captain 1s an American, and witha former Haryard student owned and operated a sugar plantation in the province of Havana at the time the insurgents first rose in the East. He known nothing of the reported aeath of Major Osgood. Eibehe o I Celebrating in Madrid.

Will Meet Him in a Four-Round Go for Points or to a Finish. She Is the Daughter of a Oace Cele- brated Bruiser Known as “Sleepy Frank.” CHICAGO, Irn., Dec. 9.—Mrs, Rosa Boyd, whose distinguished qualities are her wonderful strength and the fact that she is the wife of a shouting colored evan- gelist, wants to fight Sharkey, the pugil- ist, and has already sent achallenge to the hardy man-of-war’s man. Betore the week is ended Sharkey will receive through the mails the following bold defiance from the Chicago colored woman: Thomas Sharkey, San Francisco—DEAR Sir: I would like to box you four rounds for points or toa finish for the largest pursed offered by n{uy club, or for gate receipts—winner to take ali. Am a woman and colored, but mean busi- ness and am exceedingly anxions to complete arrangements for a maich at once, as I think | the oddity of the affair would mean money for | the one who wins. Awaiting an earlv reply, I am, yours truly, Mes. Rosa Boyb. Mrs. Boyd and her husband live on Armour avenue, in the neighborhood of the recently organized “McKinley Zion Church.” They are both Zionites and, althongh not members of the congrega- tion that worships in the cnurch with the elongated name, the Rev. Mr. Boyd isan enthusiastic evangelist and is well known tnroughout the South, where he and his wife formerly lived, as “‘the Black Sam Jones.” The Boyds have lived in Chicago about a vear, coming here from St. Louis, Mrs. | Boyd has always been an athlete. She is the daughter of ‘“‘Sleepy Frank,” a once celebrated colored rough-and-tumble | fighter and boxer, noted for his phenome- | nal strength and was trained almost from ber infancy by him. She isa tall, powerfully built weman, weighing fully 180 pounds; is 28 years old and is apparently as active on her feet as the proverbial “‘kitten.”” To a reporter { who called on her she said: “Yes, 1 have challenged Mr. Sharkey anda am in earnest about ir, too. “I will box him for points or in any way { he desires, and am anxious for the match to be brought about as soon as possible. Yousee I take after my father, who, in | iy opinion, was the greatest fighter that | ever lived. Sharkey, Jackson and Fitz- simmons would have been only play- | things for him. “Wky, be was built like Walcott, weighed 190 pounds, had longer arms than Peter Jackson and could hit so hard that wherever he went there was an un- written law established by the magistrates that he should strike no man with his | closed fist. He could defend himself onty | with his open hand. | *“All the champions of his day refused | to fight him in the ring, but he whipped | *Yankee’ Sullivan ~ rough-and-tumble { style and knocked Tom Hyer suff with a | single blow. One day, on the Erie canal, he lifted an auchor that seven men could not budge. *‘He could jump twelve feet backward, 80 yousee L snould not fear Sharkey. Yes, all I have said about my father, and there are several people in Chicago who knew him personally, is true. “I sent my challenge to Sharkey day before yesterday. I consider him the champion, and I am anxious toshow what a colored woman can do with him. Of course I would rather box him for points, but have no fear of him at any sty'e. ““Men who have boxed with him before | have gone at it in the wrong way. I should never use my rigzht band on him except in close countering. He shoula bs | kept in the lead and met with straight, | stinging leits and swinging leit upper- | cuts. 1 should try to close his eyes and weaken him by keeping his nose bieeding. “When I saw him gettine shaky I should bring up my right and put him out.” Mrs. Boyd is a good-looking, intelligent | woman, and is pleasantin manner. She says she expects (o get an answer from Sharkey soon and to really enter the ring with him. AFTER HIS FEES. Dr. Mare Levingston's Interest in tho Fair Estate Was Garnisheed Yesterday., A garnisbment was placed on Dr. Marc Levingston’s interest in the Kair estate yesterday at the instance of J. J. Rauer, who holds claims against the physician amounting to nearly $5000. i Two years gzgo Attorney John M. | Chretien, who held promissory notes of Levingston’s amounting to $3519, sold the |same to J. J. Rauer, and it is on this claim, with costs and interest, that the | Fair estate trustees were served with the | garnishment. Rauer claims that the estate owes the doctor $10,000 for medicai services rendered to the late Senator, but | the trustees are of a diffeient opinion. | _When the yvapers were presented by Deputy Sheriff Byington yesterday they declared the estate was notindebted to Levingston mn the sum of $10,000 or any other sum. e ey i A HEAVY SENTENCE. One of the Dick Williams Defaulting Witnesses Sent to Prison. Wong Gim, a witness in the Dick Wil- liams case, vesterday learned that the way of the transgressor is hard and that the KFederal courts, like the buzzsaw, are not to be handled with impunity. When Dick Williams was on trial Major Moore of the Treasury Department learned that Gim possessed much valuable knowledge of the ways of thrifty Dick. He got from the Mongolian a statement that Williams once extorted a large sum of money from Gim for making a favorable report to Col- lector Wise, upon which Gim’s nephew was permitted to Jand. Just before the time for Gim to testify in court to these facts he, with several other witnesses, disappeared and he kept out of the way until a week ago, when Major Mo re arrested him in Chinatown, the fellow having just returned from Los | Angeles. Gim decided to plead guilty of contempt ot court and Judge Morrow pro- ceeded to relieve his mind upon the mat- ter. He said that he is determined that the business of the court and the adminis- tration of jusiice must not be obstructed by witnesses who are not desirous of tes- tifying. In oraer to imoress upon Gim the enormity of his offense and upon his countrymen the fact that they must obey a summons of the cour: he decreed Wong Gim guilty of contempt of court and sentenced him to _imprisonment for one year in the San Francisco County Jail. The culprit was staggered, for as his at- torney intimated he did not expect to be imprisoned over five or ten days. e A Vicious Dog. Policeman Gus Videau swore to a complaint yesterday morning for the arrest of Martin T, Doyle, 139 Silver street, for allowing a vicious \ ‘of former days, when the City Pound was dog to be at large. Monday night the dog at- t:gnpted to bite Mrs. John E. Heilman in front of St. Rose's church, Brannan street, and when the husband, who 1s a Deputy County Clerk, jumred in to protect her the dog bit him severely in the right calf and left thigh. Heilman fired et the dog but missed itand it tan away. Policeman Videau found itat514 Brannan street and took it to the City Prison. INSANITY PLEA FILED. Dennis McCarthy Cannot Have a New Trial on 1hat Plea. Dennis McCarthy, who Killed George Fox, and who was convicted of murder in the first degree, has been denied anew trial by the Supreme Court. . The decision was handed down yesterday. The defense was insanity, the homicide keing admit- ted. The trial court was found to have charged the jury correctly in these words: You are not to consider whether or not the defendant is insane at the present time, but you are to consider him as NOW sane. A person charged with & crime cannot be legally tried for such ecrime unless he be sane at the time of the trial. The defendant has presented the issue that atthe very time of the alleged commission of the homicide he was insane. As I have already told you, the bur- den of proving his insanity at that ume rests upon him, because the law presumes he was ihen sane, The court found that ‘‘the killing was an exceptionally cold-blooded and wanton one, inflicted upon a defenseless man from no other cause, so far as manifest, than a feeling of petty spite and jealousy having no foundation, while the evidence relied upon to estaplish the defense of insanity was so entirely lacking in material sub- stance - that no unbiassed jury, them- selves enjoying the blessing of sane and reasoning minds, could have justly reached a different conclusion.” THE RIATA USED AGAIN, Humane Methods No Longer Employed by the Pound Deputies. They Tzbzo the Net and the Humane Society Will Shake Up the Institution. The riata has come into use again on the pubtic streets with deputies of the public Pound in their business of catch- ing dogs, and with it is revived a custom synonymous with barbarism. The heavy noose curling over frightened animals, | that howl with agony as the rope tigntens, has come o be preferred by the dog- catchers instead of the humane net intro- duced after a long struggle by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. It was news to the secretary of the society, Charles Holbrook, when he learned yesterday that Pound deputies had gone back to barbarous methods whereby many a valuable dog was ruined, and in every instance catching was at- tended by cruelty. 5 *I am surprised to hear this,” said Mr. Holbrook. “The society has known nothing about it and I'm sure that Mr. Osborne, the Pound Master, would not tolerate such a thing for a minute. He certainly is not aware that his deputies use the riata in- stead of the net. Formy part Ishall bring up the matter before the board wnen it meets next Thursday. “Qur society shall resent this. We bought a lot for §9000, and in all spent over $18,000 in the new Pound that ani- mals tound on the streets would be sure of humane treatment. We furnished the entire equipment, including carts and nets and asphyxiation chambers, at con- | siderable expense, and it is really provok- ing that deputies should thwart our pur- | pose.’ % > “The net is the modern way of catching dogs without injury or pain. The riata went out with the old order of things— with Jake Lindo and his methods. The riata is used only for goats, but d:puties are not allowed to use the rope on dogs. ‘That is positively against the rules. “When the society got control of the Pound it sent alt over the world for sug- gestions as to the most humane methods of catching and killing dogs and finally adopted the net gs the most approved way of catching and asphyxiation as the best | way of killing. We kili between 5000 and and 6000 dogs a year now and there is not the slightest suggestion of cruelty 1n it, except what you tell me now and of which we were iznorant.” Still the deputies gave an exhibition of old-time methods a few days ago in the | north end of the City. There were four of them on the Pound wagon and another in a blue sweater who chased the dogs with the riata, which he threw like a trained cowboy. ‘The dogs caught in the lasso | howled, but they were powerless when | tied in a knot. Meanwhile the humane net lay unused on the wagon. From what the secretary remarked it is likely that there wil! be a change of | deputies and a general shake-up in the public Pound. - POWERS' SEAT CONTESTED. John A. Hoey Says He Was Legally Elected to the Leglslature. John A. Hoey, Republican nominee for the Assembly in the Thirty-second As- sembly District, has filed a contest to the election of John W. Powers, who was de- ciared the winner by 22 votes. In assigning reasons for the contest Mr. Hoey says that in two precincts which went against him the numbers were not torn from the ballots before they were de- posited, thus violating the law, which pro- vides that there shall be a secret ballot; that in two precincts the election inspect- ors refused to count votes for Hoey when the X was placed before his name instead of atier the name in the blank space left for saidX ; that in one precinct 33 votes for Hoey were thrown out because the voters attempted to vote for too many Presiden- tial electors. Testimony 1n regard to the allegations of set forth in the complaint will be taken by A. J. Morgenstern, attorney for Mr, Hoey, before Justices of the Peace Kerri- ganand Groezinger. After the testimony is written out it will be forwarded to the Speaker of the Assembly - KEARNY-STREET LIGHTS, They Will Be Extended Beyond Cali- fornia Street to Broadway. Kearny street is to belighted with electric lights from Market street to Broadway. 1t has been known for some time that the popular thoroughfare would be lighted by a new system as far as California street, and this led the business men toward the north to go to work and, if possible, com- plete the undertaking. Dr. H. Morton Jr., H. Jacobs and Ed- ward Holland took an active interest in the proposition and have succeeded in obtaining a sufficient number of signa- tures and promises of financial aid from business men to assure its success. To-day the street, from Broadway to Green, will be canvassed and if the busi- ness men in that district take a favorable view the lineof lights will be extended over the hll___\‘_._.___ .

FElizabeth Strong Worthington will lec- ture this evening at the Emmanuel Bap- tist Church on the ‘‘Art of Conversation.” The silver-tongued lady holds that a pupil can be trained in eloguence and carried from the alpha of the system, by succes- sive steps, up to the omeea, pretty much as a child in mathematics goes from once one is one up to conic sections. Under Mrs. Worthington’s tuition the male pupil may move "listening Senates” and the fe- male scholar have the last word that will check further debate on the part of the opposita sex. Mrs. Worthington is a lady of wealth and cuiture, who took up the study of the art of how to talk when quite young, and formany years has tanght conversational classes in Chieago and St. Lowis. In her lecture she clearly describes the course of study and training and the method which any intelligent person may employ, even at home, in order to acquire ability in the noble art of eloquence. Her entire lecture is iliustrated by anecdotes and skeiches of character, given as only an elocutionist can give such wo ————— ¥ire in a Dwelling.
