mr Tho death of Drlg.-Gen. Ncstorrangurcn.
,f second in command of the Cuban forces in
iU Havana province, robs tho patriots of ono of
rtH their most promising ofllcers. Aranguren was
-L born In 1874 and bolonged to ono of tbo oldost
f ,. and best known families In Cuba. Ills father
k was during tho ten cars' war one of tho
ff. Junta's representatives in Ilavana.
Sf At tho outbreak of tbo present war, on Feb.
g? 24, 1804, Aranguren planned to join Gen. Julio
5i Sangully's regiment, but tbo latter's capturo
W caused the project to come to nothing. Sovcral
" zhonths later he joined Gen. Maximo Gomez and
i ' soon distinguished himself by capturing n Span-
' lib fort near Santa Clara. This act was ono of
'M- tho many daring raids which made him
i famous. Ilostolo Into the fort alone, and. after
J overpowering a sontry, opened tho door to
iS bis companions. Here ho scoured 1DO rifles,
OiJ several thousand rounds of ammunition nnd six-
ifl teen prlsonors. Gen. Gomoz promoted him to
? . the grado of Captain for this exploit. Ho wns
fli promoted to tho rank of Drlgodler-General for
tho brilliant manner in which ho captured tho
ii ' QuanabAcoa train last year. Tho attempt was
' made with tbe idea of seizing Major Fonsde-
iM vlela, tbo military despot of Guannbacoa. The
S- DC t'iat attracted tbo most attention to him was
U' ' tho execution of Colonel Itulz, who was sent by
jrf Gen. Illnnco to try to secure his support to
'pt autonomy by the offer of a bribe. In a recent
m letter to a friend In this city Aranguren wrote:
ft "You must all know by this tlmo of Hulz's
f,' sad end. None, moro than I, regrettod his
fjk death, but I am a soldier, and as such must obey

The Cnbaa Patriot I'annet Pay His Flao
nprlsaament a Month Ionser.
Baltiuorx, Md Jon. 28. Tbe term of Im
prisonment of Dr. Joseph J. Luis, tbe Cuban
patriot, expired to-day, but ho is not yet free.
Aflnoof WOO was Imposed, and this ho Is un
able to pay. Unless this Is paid he must remain
confined for a month longer, when, upon taking
an oath that he Is unable to pay the fine, he will
be released. A movement to raise a fund of $500
for the benefit of Dr. Luls's family Is meeting
with approval. Already contributions have
been received, and It Is moro than likely that
tbe necessary amount will be raised. In accept
ing offers of assistance Dr. Luis said to-day:
"Homo ot my friends in Now York offered to
raise the amount, but as I found they oould not
do so without great embarrassment, that. In
fact, the money was needed for other purposes,
I chose tho alternative. Somo months ago a
Spanish gentleman Intimated to me tbat if I
would consont to intercession bslng mado in
my behalf at tbe Spanish court a pardon could
bo obtained for me from the Government of the
United Slates. That offer I declined to con
sider. I could not accept aid from tbe enemies
of Cuba.
"After my conviction tho question ot making
an appeal was discussed. I found it would In
volvo a large expense several thousand dollars.
Including batl and other Items and that even
should it be successful aud tho verdict of the
court here reversed, I would thon have to reap
pear for trial in New York, with doubtful re
sult. So the appeal was abandoned."

contlnuos to report to the Stnto Department
that everything Is tranquil In Havana. While
the department persists In the statement that
there Is no dangor of more rioting there, it is
significant that Gen. Lee has been directed to
report twice a day on the conditions in the city.
In a telegram received this afternoon he con
tinued the newspaper accounts of the assassina
tion of Gen. Aranguren.
Tho cruiser Marblshead returned to Key West
from Port au Prluce last night. It is said at tho
Navy Department that sho will be under tbe
orders of Hear Admiral Slcard, who can attach
her to his squadron or use her for special duty.
Tho belief nt the department is that the Marble
head will bo kept nt Key West for use In an
emergency, as there Is no telegraphic communi

Bexon the flench of tbe Poor,
Wabitingtok, Jan. 28. According to reports
from United States Sanitary Inspector Brunner.
deaths from starvation In Havana have In
creased rapidly. Food products from the United
States are so highly taxed. Dr. Brunner says, as
to place them beyond the reaoh of tho average
consumer. He quotes as an example a ship
ment of 2.412 chickens from New Orleans, on
which tbe tariff amounted to $700.85, or nearly
30 cents per chicken. Tho tariff on eggs Is also
high, and tho tax on hogs from the United
States is $5 per head. The local supply has
been exhausted. Dr. IJrunner reports that tho
steerage travel to ports in Florida is heavy, and
tho utmost sanitary precautions are being taken
in connection with this travel.
RRVZOX HFLFED CUBA'S CAUSE.
Havana's (Danish Governor Protected a Pa
triot Orcan Which Attacked Autonomists.
One of tho most interesting tales about tho
situation in Havana sinco public order was dis
turbed thoro by tho riots which took place from
Jnn. 12 to Jan. 15 was told yesterday by Seflor
Iticardo Arnanto, who arrived In Now York
from that city on tho steamer Seguranca.
Seflor Arnanto was tho editor of the news
paper Kl litconeentrado, whoso office was tho
first to ha raided by tho rioters. Seflor Arnanto
arid his editors, reporters, and printers narrow
ly escaped with their lives. It was the Inten
tion of tho mob to hang them and to that end
ropes wero carried by the Spanish ofllcers in the
mob, but, having bocn advised of tho attack,
they all got away in tlmo. Senor Arnanto
said yesterday that besides having his property
destroyed, $S00, which he left In a desk in his
ofllce, was stolen by the Spaniards.
Seflor Arnanto Is tho acknowledged President
of tbo secret Revolutionary socloty called the
Public Salvation Club, whose main object Is to
uropagato revolutionary Ideas and punish
traitors to the Cuban causo by exposing them
to the people and by boycotting them among
their countrymen.
Ho was also, ho said, the socret correspondent
in Havana of tbe Insurgent newspaper El Vara,
published at Key West.
When asked bow ho dared to DubliBh in Ha
vana such an antl-Spanlsh paper as El litconeen
trado, seflor Arnanto said he had tho secret pro
tection of tho Spanish Governor of Havana,
Seflor Don Joso Jlruzon.
Though a member of tho Junta Central of tho
Autonomist party. Seflor Ilruron hates tbe other
members of the Junta, especially the Doputy at
tho Cortes, Seflor ltafaol Fernandez do Cnstro.
Gov. Ilruzon, added Seflor Arnanto, was well
aware of tho failure of autonomy and wanted
to makejsotno capital nmong tho patriots In an
ticipation uf the not distant day of tbolr tri
umph. With tbat end ho protected F.l Itccon
cenlrado. Ills good will wns especially se
cured by attneks on Doputy Fernandez do
(.'astro, which Seflor Arnanto was delighted to
make, knowing tbat to divide the Autonomists
nnd oxcito their mutual ill-feelings helped tho
revolution. When danger came, however, tho
Governor deserted Seflor Arnanto and left him
to be tho prey of tho enraged Spaniards.
"Havann," continued Seflor Arnanto, "is a
hornets' nest. The Autonomist Cabinet Is hated
by tho Autonomist party. Iho volunteers and
tho uncompromising Spaniards hate the Governor-General
and tho Cabinet. The Spanish
troop aro orcry day less to be trusted by their
Generals."
After tho riots Oen. Blanco ordered Seflor
Arnnnto'n arrost, but In spite of the great vigi
lance of tbo Spanish police the editor, disguised
as a sailor, took passage In Havana on board ot
tho steamer Seguranca. He arrived hero under
tho namo of Nestor Prlmclles Varona.

Town Hall nt Jamaica, L. I., when the caso of
Miss Edith Thompson of Hollls against Mrs.
Annto Scholl was calledyesterday. Miss Thomp
son caused the arrest ot Mrs. Scholl on a charge
ot assault. According to Miss Thompson sho
was subjected to the humiliation of bolng pun
ished in an old-fashioned way and in tho pres
ence ot several men. Addressing tho Judge
Miss Thompson said:
"I don't mind tho spanking Mrs. Soholl gavo
me, but sho hurt my feelings and I don't think
it is right nny way to spank a girl right before
tbe gazo of young men."
According to tbe stories told In court tho
trouble between the women began on Saturday
last, whon Miss Thompson, who had previously
been In the employ of Mrs. Scholl. went to tho
latter's houso to get somo of her effects. Mrs.
Scholl. according to her story, threw hor down
the stoop. Jumped upon her, slapped her in tbo
face several times, and wound up by chastising
her as complained of. Continuing Miss Thomp
son said:
" I had my things all wrapped up In a bundle,
and some of them were tblngs young men
should not see. Mrs. Scholl threw the bundle
down tbe stoop and the package broko right in
the street. Ob, it was awful! Tho young men
snickerod and evidently enjoyed the affair, but
1 didn't. After I picked up my things Mrs.
Kcboll threw out nn old worn manicure brush
which I had left behind and I flung lb back at
her. I think It bit her in tho eye, but I don't
care whether it did or not."
Both women asked for an adjournment, and
tho hearing went over for ono week.

' Claits em ar n West Aide AehooL
It hujueenagrcat thins for NlcoloCherronl to
be the only linguist n hi famlly.'but the useful
ness of that accomplishment It now a thing of
e past. Alt Italians born In this country speak'
both their mothor tongue and English, and
Nlcolo, who was bom In Llttlo Italy, on tho
upper east side, eleven years ago, learned both
languages simultaneously. Ills mother and
father are of that class Jwhoso Ungual accom
plishments consist In a very volublo flow ot
Italian and tho useful phrase, "N un'ttan'
Ingleea"for other purposes. They llvoat 428
West Forty-sixth street, and Nlcolo has been
going to school at Grammar School 51 In West
Forty-fourthjstreet when ho chose.
So far as his parents know he wat a regular
attendant. Occasionally tbey recolved notes
In English, of courso from his teachers, which,
being Interpreted by htm, set forth that Nlcolo
was the crack scholar of the Institution and
was destined to become Prosldont of the United
States It he lived long onough. As a mutter of
fact, Nlcolo's conduct at school, when ho deigned
to go there at nil, was not edifying. It con
sisted chiefly iu rapping tbo boys whom he
could whip in open battle ovor tho head with
hlB knuckles, and In performing, when repri
manded by his teacher, pantomlmio exercises
with his lingers and nose, such as are not In
terpreted at Indicative of regard and respect.
Finally the prlnoipal sent to the eldor Cherronls
this note: :
"I notify you that,your son Nlcolo Is fre-
3uently absent from school, and that when bo
oes oome It Is to rap the other boys on tho head
and rifle their pockets. Please come and see me
about It."
Great wot the pleasure of thsarents when
their son read them this message, for this Is tho
way ho read it:
"I wish to toll you your boy Is the bestlechol
ar In school. Tho othor boys aro bad. I will
give him a rifle as a prlzo for being good. Do
not come to bco him at school, at mothers and
fathers are not admitted."
Naturally the Cherronls didn't call on the
prlnoipal. On Thursday afternoon Nlcolo cap
tured a kitten, and by way of showing his con
tempt for the school, threw It Into Ibis closiroom
through the window. Mrs. M. E. R. Alger, the
truant officer, saw him and arrested him. At
tho West Fifty-fourth street Pollco Court yes
terday morning the boy wasnnrenontant. Ho
heard himself described as a "vicious boy nnd
an incorrigible outlaw."
"Dai's me," he said with swelling chest to 10-year-old
Edward Gaffnoy, who was arraigned
just for plain truausy. "I'm hot stuff, I am."
Both boys were committed to the truancy
school and wore led out together, Nlcolo tri
umphing in tho superiority of his rrlckcdncss
over that ot his companion.
