INSURGENT R& ID i
ON HAYANA
Passed tlie Forts and Attacked,
the Suburbs of the City.
New York, "July 30. A dis
patch to tho Herald from Ha
vana says: Havana's outposts
have again been attacked by a
large body of rebels, who, be
fore the Spanish troops could
be gathered to resist, had swept
through the suburbs, carrying
all before them. They used, it
is belfevedj rapid-firing guns
and a large quantity of dyna
mite. The attack was made last
night. To-day there is an incli
nation among the Spanish offi
cials in Havana to deny the
fact that lebels had evaded the
forts and swept into Havana's
limits. The facts, however, re
maiu, and the path left by the
rebels through the suburbs
southeast of the city may be
ulainlvraced.
J At the first sounds of firing
iMiS1 tIie SPansa Soldiers
in thetity and suburbs sprang
to arms. T.ifty proceeded hur
riedly to thVsblheasterji part
of the city, fromwuVre ths rat-
tie of musketrlipli2Yofk anefaTveston with due
the boom of heavy gunsj comdfegulsfHy.
be heard plainly all over Ha-
vana. Then the sound of firniif
increased and finally, after
few hours, died away, showing
'that the rebels had retired.
Several wounded Spanish sol
diers were brought into Havana
and removed to hospitals after
the engagement and several
were killed. The reticence of
Spanish officials prevent any
knowledge of the result of the
attack becoming general. It is
a fact, however, that great
damage was done by tile in
surgents in their bold raid-and
that a considerable 'quantity of
dynamite was used.
There was great excitement
in Havana during the rebel at
tack. Hundreds, aroused by the
heavy firing, poured into the
streets and the word passed
along. "TlfereDels have attack
ed the city," and created almost
a panic in some quarters. There
is still great excitement her5
due largely to the refusal of the
officials to give out information.
ms attacK on navaua was
not Unexpected. For weeks
past tbe-rebels have been within
sight of the capital and have
practically moved without in
terference. The insurgent lead1
ers neaiest Havana now are
Brigadier General Castilloj with
a large force at Mariano, nine
miles southwest, and Colonel
Nester Arauguren, at Guana
bacoa, across the bay. General
Alexander Kodriguez, rebel
commander of Havana pro
vince, with a large force, is
near Minar and Colonel Rabul
Arango is at Calorrov
There is a belief in Havana
that the rebel raid was led by
"1 M "u iJ uutcu U3 one
a innrHnnn tnlr -1 - - A A J3 . -
for llie most oaring or the rebel
chiefs.
Captain General Weyler has
(left Havana for Matanzas, and
the belief is expressed that the
knowledge of the insurgents of
Uiis intention en his part led
to the attack. It is understood
large bodies of insurgents have
recently centered from Pinar
del Rio and Matanzas and have
assumed formidable propor
tions. Quintin Banderas with
S00 men is among those who
have conie into the province
from Matanzas.
GOSSIP OE THE RATE WAR
CaliforniaGoods Sent to New
York aud Returned to Gal
veston by Water.
Galveston News.
""What have you to say re
garding the action of the Gal
veston wholesale dealers' asso
ciation?" was asked of Traffic
Manager Bartholomew of the
Mailory line yesterday.
"Only this: It occurred to
me that if the Galveston whole
sale dealers wanted to get to
gether and pass resolutions,
that is their business. We a
uot disposed to criteise them.
It is my belief that, notwith
standing their aJbliondJ&5,llPs

ri rvw -

"othing transpired in the
rTe war yesterday. But a few
a'TOUe points were revealed that
show the effect and demonstrate
how far-reaching it is. The
Southern Pacific has a rate on
California goods from the -pa
cific coast to Galveston and
Houston of 75 cents per 100
pounds. It has a rate from the
Pacific coast to New Orleans
and New York of 50 cents per
100 pounds. The rate to New
Orleans is based on a contract
with the New Orleans mer
chint that it shall not be great
er than the New York rate.
Galveston merchants are not
doing a thing but taking ad
vantage of this. They are
ordering their California goods
shipped via the Southern
Pacific across the continent
to New York aud back
to Galveston I5y Lone Star
steamers. This rate to New
York is 50 cents and from New
York to Galveston is 5 cents, a
total of 55 cents as against to
cents by direct shipment. As
a result, the Southern Pacific
will carry Galveston goods right
by the doors of this city and
hundreds of miles beyond, and
perhaps bring some of them
back by their.own Morgan- line
and lay them in Galveston, all
for 55 cents. The only disad
vantage to merchants is in time
consumed, out me su cents a
hundred saved on freight more
than makes up the difference.
Another incident of the rate
war was a shipment of flasks,
the rate on which was o cents a
hundred or 6 cents for two
cases The wharfage, which the
steamships had to pay, was 6
cents, exactly the amount of the
freight. In other .wordsj the
freight paid the Wharfage and
no more. Several like instances
are cropping oUt since the
goods have begua to arrive on
the cut rate basis.
Another phase of the fight j
has been suggested by a local
dealer as a surmise. He, sug
gests that possiblythe steam
ship lines are engaging iii this
war with well defined fore
thought, the idea being to re
cover the Texas trade from the
grasp of the east and west rail
lines. He recites the time when
the Mailory liue used to run
three steamers'a week here, but
now-a-days they run two and
Oiteti only one each week. They
were held by contract, and,
further, he says, this contract
was such that the Southern
Pacific would make out the
rate sheet, baud it to the Mai
lory company and saj: "Hei
are 3Tour rates." In other words,
the Southern Pacific and its
Morgan line made the rale and
the Mailory had to abide by
it, while its business dwindled.

service, they may hope to re
cover any trade they may have
lost; and the Lone Star line
would hardly be a loser on any
increased business.

Importers Cautious in
Ordering Goods:
City of Mexico, July 28.-
New York exchange advanced
today to $1.22 and "S1.25
premium. , Bankers believe
5
thlire will be 2 better Drice for
silver soon, but. there is a
growing sentiment that silver
will have to wait some months
before circumstances shape
themselves so as to materially
aid it. Some people here hold
the theory that bankers in
Europe are hammering- down
silver in order to show the
United Sties bimetallic com-'
missioners that Europe has an
answer to the Dinsflev tariff
bill. Importers will be com
pelled to bring in goods with
the greatest caution for the
time, as they do not dare risk
ordering largely, with pros
pects of exchange growing-
even worse aofamsfe them. It
is believed that the fall in sil
ver will- immensely stimulate
home manufacturing, and lead
also to a rapid expansion of
tropical agriculture. ' the pro
ducts of which command eold
prices abroad. It is generally
believed that exchanp-e will
grow worse for a few days,
A leading banker says Mex
ico will simply adjust itself to
the lower price for silver and

NEW GOLD MINE
IN MEXICO;
Measures to Pay Gold Interest;
The Country Prosperous;
Mexico City, July - 30. A
new gold mine has been locat
ed on the famous El Oro vein
in the state of Mexico, and the
prospect for a valuable proper
ty is excellent. The Esperanza
gold mine, at Tultenango, is
taking out $ti6oooo in gold
Ore monthly.
The government has takeh
measures which will result in
economies which assure the
punctual payment of the gold
interest in October without in
anyway crippling the publie
service. There is a more hope
fuK feeling in the business com-1
munity as it is recalled thattfe
country has never been more
prosperous than during the
past lew years of the declining
value in silver. All the remark
able progress here has been,
effected under apparently ad
verse conditions A lanre;

bought the last two days.
