The prisoners were shrieking like maniacs and ratting and pounding on the iron door of their cells. The guard were doubled and each carried a shotgun loaded with buckshot Two men who were released, their terms having expired, told what the desperate convicts are planning. According to this story, it has been agreed among the ringleaders that when they are permitted to return to work in the jute mill they will make a sudden rush, kill Engineer Young, if necessary, overpower the guards and completely wreck the magnificent plant, on which an enormous amount of money, said to lie nearly $1,000,000, has been spent The machinery is of such a nature that it could very soon be demolished and practically destroyed, and the convicts are worked up to such a high pitch that they would stop at nothing.

He arrived at his home in this city recently from Washington. Dr. Angell has for years been chairman of the American Board of Foreign Missions, whose work in Turkey has been carried on to the great dissatisfaction of the Sultan. His sympathy with mission work and a reported interview with him, in which he was made to say he hoped the Turks would meet their match in the Greeks, caused the talk about his appointment to Constantinople.

Details have been received here of an engagement at La Reforms between the Spaniards, commanded by Gen. Wev-leand the Cubans, led by Geu. Gomez. The battle was fought early last week and it was a result of Weyler's scheme' to crush Gomez by surrounding him with 30,000 men. The plan failed, and the battle was reported here as an ordinary Spanish victory without details. It was the first time in Jhe war that r, Weyler and Gomez have fac ed each oth er. Gomez, placing his men in the best strategic position at La Reforma, awaited Gen. Weyler and for six hours held him in check, although the Cubans scarcely numbered 1000 men. Goinez ordered his lest shots to pursue the Spanish general, hut the latter never came to the front. When twe fresh Spanish columns came up Gomel retired and the Spanish abandoned the field.

Weyler has the sale of imported meat in Puerto Principe, and is compelling the public to consign only beef purchased from his own agents proceeding from sonfiscsted cattle roundedup and driven in by hi troops from adjacent districts throughout Ssnta Clara province. The situation is the same in towns garrisoned by Spanish troops. Military operations having been virtually suspended, the army is being used to further the cattle speculations of the chiefs and military commanders. In one district, that of Sancti Kpiritus, the entire battalion of Alfonso XIII has been supplied with lassoes and sent in the field as cowboys. The fact has been openly announced in the local Spanish newspapers, and two steam transports subject to Wey-ler- a orders are kept busy carrying the confiscated cattle to Santiago de Cuba, Manzanillo and other good markets.
