finlly :md the mayor of Havana, the
Maiquis do lOsteban, would Have
caut-ed anothor Cuban-Spanish roit
luet nipht but for tho American pro
vost guard .
General Sanguilly went to tho Al
bisu theater with his son and Major
lVp. lio do Cardenas. Muneipal gurdu
had btreo placed tit tho theatre en
trance s uual and an altercation
took place between one of thene and
Major- Cardenas, owi'ig to the guard's
refu9.il to salute G neral S tnguilly.
After the j erformance cl. bea C.ir
deijjis went out Orst and another vio
lent scene ensued. The guard threat
ened to hit Cardenas on the head with
hid musket, whereupon Cardenas
rushed back into tho theatre, calling
for banguilly.
Ar the latter responded the mayor,
tho Marquis de Ksteban, came up.
Sanguilly shouted threateningly to
tho marquis, who heatedly replied.
Sanguilly thon drew hi revolver,
threatening to shoot Ksteban, at
which the marquis quickly raised his
walking stick and struck Sanguilly in
the mouth.
A scene of tho wildest excitement
ensued. 1 he Cubans around Sanguilly
were ro: dy to attack tho municipal
guards, who under Ksteban's orders
loaded their rilles. Hut for the p'-mpt
arrival of the American provost
guard, which separated them, both
parties would have fired with terrible
results. Mayor Esteban asked the
provost officer to station some of hi?
men near the theater to prevent an at
tack on the guards by the Cubans, who
had gone off uttering loud threats.
This was done.
The marquis made a formal com
plaint to General Ludlow today re
tarding the matter.

Travesties on Her Father.
"One evening, a few months after
their return to Concord to live, my
Bister and I accompanied our mother
on a call on the Alcotts." writes Ed
ward W. Emerson of "When Louisa
Alcott Was a Girl'" in the Ladies
Home Journal. "Before we left Lou
isa was persuaded by her mother to do
something for our amusement. She
disappeared and soon came in trans
formed. Her hair, which girls in those
days wore brushed low and braided,
was twisted up into a little knob on
her head so tight that she could hard
ly wink. "The broad collar, white
undersleeves and hoopsklrt of the day
were gone, and she appeared In an
ugly, scant, brown calico dress, with
bloomer trousers to match, blue stock
ings and coarse shoes. She had a
manuscript in one hand and a pen in
the other, which she thrust behind her
ear and began a harangue on the
'Rights of Woman,' and offered and at
once proceeded to read in strident
tones a gem of thought which she had
Just turned out, called "Hoots of a
Distracted Soul in the Wilderness.
She then passed on to other confirm
atory manuscripts that she professed
to be editing travesties on her fath
er's writings, I think certainly on
those of my father, under the name of
Rolf Walden Emerboy. Mr. Alcott
came in from his study to hear, and,
however little he could understand
such manifestations of the spirit of
prophecy, he seemed to feel the pride
of a parent In his daughter's wit."

By the purchase of a large block of
stock of the Caibarien railway in
Cuba, L. Ruiz & Co., bankers, repre
senting English capitalists, have se
cured a controlling interest in that
line. The same men have a'.so been
large purchasers of the stocks of the
Sagut aud Cienfuegos companies'.
They expect to have soon a control
ling interest in those two concerns,
and, owning, as thy do. the united
railway linet, will be in a prsiticn to
dictate terms to the Jucaro ccmpiiDy,
which is the wealthiestnd most pros
perous in the island. If the Jucro
stock eennot be purchased, the line
will undoubtedly be paralleled, thus
giving a t: unk line from Pinar del
