Guerra's Band Dispersed -- More Forces of Insurgents in the Field--Former Governor Leads One. Havana, Aug. 2.-A telegram to the government late last night stated that Maj. Laurent with his detach- ment of rural guards fought Guerra and his 300 men for three hows, com- pletely defeating him, killing or wounding many insurgents and taking three prisoners. The dispatch adds that the rebels dispersed in all directions, being chased long distances. None of the rural guards was hurt. Another por: tion of the insurgent forces continues in occupation of San Luis. The reports of the commanders of the rural guard are that the bands of Guerra, Pozo and others, aggregating over 400 men, concentrated, yester- day, near San Luis. Seventy rural guards under command of Maj. Laur: ent were to attack the insurgents from the cast and thirty men under Lieut. Azeuy were to attack from the west, Azcuy arrived first and got into an ill-timed engagement with a far super- ior detachment, being forced to re- treat hastily to San Luis, pursued by a portion of the cnemy. The rural guards took refuge in their quarters and Guerra's men remained in posses: sion of the town. , Maj. Laurent had a hot fight with the insurgents under Guerra and other insurgent commanders and reports that several woe Kiet or wounded, He pursued Guerra, but did not re- take the town. Three large bands of insurgents are oat in the province of Santa Clara. Gen. Rodriguez, commander of the rural guards, said to the Associated Press : "Cuba is entirely competent to cope with the-insurrection. The flood of rumors about the organization of in- surrectionary bands in great numbers are not borne out by the facts: "We have, to-day, equipped and sent ont 300 volunteers under competent officers. We have plenty of Reming- tons and ammunition for all who en- list at present, and more has been or- dered from the United States. Besides, we have thousands of old but viceable ouards."' A gentleman, who has returned from Aguacate, state that as many as 500 men, most of them armed, were rid- ing about the vicinity proclaiming in- surrectionary ideas. Lius Perez, the last liberal governor of the province of Pinar del Rio, has joined the insurgent forces in that pro- vince. ser- A later dispatch from Rancho Voloz, province of Santa Clara, says that a band of insurgents has been organ. ized there under Col. Reinos, and it is believed that Mendieta is with him. Governor Nunez, of Havana pro- vince, says that the organisation of his local loyal bands, has begun here, American dealers have been commis- sioned to buy hundreds of horses for the use of the rural guards now being recruited. Practically all the inhabitants of the town of Aguacate, have with the mayor, declared themselves in insur- rection against the government. The fight with Bandera occurred this morning. A force of 100 mounted rural guards, which had for three days been seeking to surround the insurg- ent forces, commanded by Bandera, finally succeeded in doing so after the veteran commander had pitched his camp for the night. Two of Bandera's followers were also killed, but none were captured. A General Slain. Havana, Aug, 23.--Gen. Quintine landera, the famous leader of Hava- na province, who recently headed an insurgent band and began operating against the government was killed this moming in an encounter with rural troops. Bridge Still Dangerous. The story goes that, twenty years ago, before the game of bridge was known in London clubs, two families who played the came under the name of 'Russian whist," were living in neighboring house at or near Great Dalby, in Leicestershire. They were in the habit of visiting each other's hous- es on alternate evenings to play this fascinating game, and the only road of communication between the houses lay over a broken-down and danger- ous bridge, very awkward to cross in the dark." It was a frequent occur rence for the departing guests to say to their hosts, "Thank goodness, it is your bridge to-morrow," meaning that the other party would have to cross the dangerous bridge the next night. Hence. arose the title of "Bridge." Fresh Eggs, Fresh Eggs. Strictly fresh eggs, extra butter, Crawford. choice In Newboro, on August 14th, Rev. J. C.

Camille Flammarion has written a book, "Thunder and Lightnin~" in which he describes some of the pheno mena of electrical storms. Of the actions of a ball of fire in Paris, he says: "It was in the Rue St. Jac ques, near the Val de Grace. The fire ball burst into the room from the chimney, knocking over the paper guard in front of the fireplace, In appearance it suggested a voung cat gathered up in a ball, as it were, and moving along without using its paws. It approached the tailor's legs as if to play with them. The tailor moved them away to avoid the contact, of which he naturally was in terror. Af- ter some seconds the globe of fire rose vertically to the height of the man's face as he sat, and he, to save him self. leaned auickly back and fell over. The fire ball confined to rise, made its way toward a hole which had been made at the top of the pive in the winter, but which, as the chimney for the insertion of a stove tailor put it afterward, the fire ball couldnt see,' because it was, closed up with paper. The ball stripped off (he paper neatly, « entered the chimney quite quietly, and, having risen to the summit, produced a tremendous ex plosion, which sent the chimney pot flving and scattered it in bits all over the neighboring courtyard and rounding roofs." and sur Canning Time.
