r - . ZETTELI CLOSI'ABMHAVANI; Maceo’s insurgent Forces Approach the Cuban Capital. , FIRING HEARD IN THE CITY. The Action of the Congress of the United States Cheered by the Patriot Troops. Several Important Engage- w»-.. . ments Reported. u . KEY WEST, March 6.—-Passengers by the steamship Olivette report that the in- surgents under Maceo are in Reglas, prov- ince of Havana, and just across the bay from the city of Havana. 7 Reports of firearms were distinctly heard in the city. Maximo Gomez is reported to have pass- ed into Santa Clara province to get a few days’ needed rest. His troops are in the extreme west of the province and well fortified. When Maceo was informed of the action of the United States senate, he ordered three cheers for the United States and ex- claimed, “The machete will cut twice as deep now that other people think Cuba‘s cause is just. ” Strict military discipline is maintained by Maceo. An insurgent found asleep while doing guard duty was immediately shot. It is rumored in Havana that General Weyler is about to resign, believing it im- possible to check the insurgents. Many Americans are leaving Havana, fearing a mob rising by Spaniards similar to the Barcelona affairs. ‘ A dispatch from Havana says: The government is holding 8,000 troops quartered in the fortifications of the city in readiness to suppress disorder and demonstrations against Americans here. Extra police guards are placed convenient to the American consulate. The only manifestations of hostile feel- ing yet were a few shouts, “Death to Uncle Sam!” while the new troops Were landing on Tuesday and hisses around a cab in which two Americans were driving in a side street. There is great confidence in the ability of General Weyler to preserve order. ‘As an indication of the feeling Mr. Wilson, proprietor of an American bookstore, who happened to be an Englishman, re- moved the sign in front of his store, pre- ferring not to invite attack. The better treatment of Americans here than at Bar- celona or Madrid is largely due to the fact that the populace there is Spanish, and here it is Cuban. The students here, both Spanish and Cuban, are friendly to the United States. Cuban Merchants Pleased. Cuban property holders and merchants, and also many Spanish, whose market is in the States, are more pleased than other‘ wise by the prospect of congressional in- tervention, which, meaning an early res- toration of quiet, would save many from bankruptcy. Even loyal Spaniards ad- mit this. Such hostility as is shown here ».is confined to the .ofi‘iceholding masses and others receiving government bounty. The Cubans here were jubilant when the news of the prompt action of the house was received. The main body of insurgents, instead of continuing eastward, as expected, has returned to Havana province in great numbers, leaving a large force of troops moving east to head them off. , Gomez remains in the center of Matan- zas province. burning cane on many es- tates, where preparations Were making to resume grinding in obedience to Weyler’s orders. ' Maceo, with a largely augmented force, has re-entered Havana province and re- sumed burning cane wherever prepara- tions to grind are under way. So far as can be learned, there is no wanton de- struction, but they are simply carrying out the order issued by Gomez two months a l lgI’lblaceo has with him the parties of Mas- I seo, Maestro. Nunez, Alvarez, Rodriguez, Collazo, Rabi and others from the east in addition to Castillo, Miro, Diaz, Aguirre and others. These forces now hem in the citi of Havana. ll telegraph and railroad lines are cut The poles are removed and rails carried away. Milk, fruit and vegetables are scarce in Havana. The same conditions prevail in Matanzas and ‘ Santa Clara. The insurgents seem to increase in num- bers, and they obtain ammunition and continue depredations in spite of all the troops can do. The daily record of bridges, culverts, stations and railroads destroyed, cane burned and towns attacked is grow- ing larger= Encounters Reported. The troops had six encounters in Ha- vana province. One was at Las Guacimas, between Managua and Havana, so close to the city that relief for the wounded was sent from the suburb of Jesus Del Monte. The official report is silent about the loss. Information is that 1 officer and 8 soldiers were killed and 70 wounded on the Span- ish side. The insurgents’ loss was 2 dead and 10 wounded. Other recent engage- ments were not sufficiently important to prevent the insurgents from returning to Havana province. within ten miles. General Navarro has been sent back to . Spain for failing to keep Maceo in Pinar province. Gomez sent his wounded men and broken down horses to Siguana val- ley, Santa Clara, leaving his forces clear for action in Matanzas and Havana prov- Ince. There are rumors that Collazo’s expedi- tion has landed near Matanzas. To Prevent Lawlessness.

The Italian Premier Announces His Ministry’s Resignation. THE KING HAS ACCEPTED IT. Each Report Makes“. the Adowa Disaster Appear llIore Appalling—Baratieri’s Death and Crispi’s Impeach- ment Are Now Demanded. '~.~. Roma, March 6.—The ministry an- nounced its resignation in the chamber of deputies today, and Premier Crispi added that it had been accepted by the king. The disaster to the Italian army at Adowa on Sunday last grows more appall— ing with each bit of news that finds its Way to the public. The report that General Baratieri, who commanded the Italians, had committed . suicide turns out to be incorrect, but it Would seem As if that would have been the best'thihg he could have done under the circumstances, for, if the darker and darker reports which are reaching Rome from Massaua are substantiated, he will have great difficulty in escaping a capital sentence after his trial by court martial. It is said, among other things, that he deserted his troopswhile the latter were fighting gallantly against overwhelming numbers of Abyssinians, and that he fled to a spot 100 kilometers from the scene of the massacre (for that seems to be the proper term for the rout of Italy’s troops) without knowing or apparently caring what became of Generals Dabormida and Arimcndi, whose columns have never since been heard from, so far as can be as- certained here. The column of troops commanded by General Albertone also appears to have been crushed, and that officer is still miss- ing. The war office today admitted that “at least” 150 Italian officers were killed, but the officials still refuse to admit that over 5,000 men were killed. They say, however, that they “believe” 9,000 Italian troops and 8,000 native troops in the Italian service were engaged, 17,000 in all, and that “nearly all” the artillery, ammunition and supplies fell into the hands of the enemy. Public Buildings Guarded. The official and private residences of the cabinet ministers, the royal palace, the embassies and all important public build- ings here were guarded by troops through- out the night, and the soldiers are still on duty. The neighborhood of the chamber of deputies today is held by a strong force of infantry and police, and every precaution has been adopted to quell an outbreak, should there be such a disturbance. In addition to the crowds of people be- longing to this city; large numbers of per~ sons, including many Socialists, reached Rome from the country yesterday evening and this morning. They are still arriv. ing. ‘ Nearly all the deputies are in town, and Capriani, the Socialist leader, has boldly declared that proposals will be submitted in the chamber of deputies to impeach Premier Crispi and his ministers for their alleged mismanagement of the Abyssinian campaign. An intimate friend of the Marquis of Rudini, the opposition leader, is quoted as saying that Rudini will not consent to accept office during the present crisis. He is reported to be of the opinion that Signor Crispi, whose friends have now rallied strongly to his support, should be compelled to straighten out the difficulties into which he has led the country, and that the defeat of General Baratieri is not so much a misfortune as the greater finan- cial troubles which are likely to follow. This view of the case is shared by some of the more thoughtful class of newspapers. They say that Italy is confronted by a knotty problem—whether it would not be better to make peace at any price with the Abyssinians than incur the immense ex- pense involved in undertaking a succeSS< ful campaign against them. The Financial Aspect. Fears are expressed that the disaster of Adowa will have, a very bad eflect upon Italian securities abroad, and any finance minister would under the circumstances dread the task of floating another loan. The financial appect of the situation consequently may be such as to so alarm Crispi’s enemies that they may not press him to the wall even if they are in a posi- tion to do so. . The savage excitement throughout Italy caused by the defeat of General Baratiel‘l shows little sign of abatement. It is true, however, .that the disturbance caused by the news of the great disaster and the consequent display of indignation against the government have been greatly increased by the calling out of the army reserves of the class of 1872, which brings 80,000 additional men into active service. The great majority of those reservists are married men, whose families will thus be deprived of their chief or only support for an indefinite period. Thus at Milan and other places serious rioting has occurred when the reservists were preparing to obey orders, and in many cases they have been prevented by force, women and children leading the agitation, from leaving their towns. Railroad cars have been demolished, rails torn up, telegraph wires cut, and the po lice have been beaten and stoned into help- lessness. _. The soldiery have been attacked, the bayonets have been freely used, and men and women, frenzied with rage, have thrown themselves on the naked steel of the troops. , . Large numbers of arrests have been made. The troops everywhere are either confined to barracks or occupying the streets, and night has been turned into day by torchlight processions, indignation meetings and riotous demonstrations in public squares and in front of municipal and government buildings. \Vhole Kingdom Agitated. This is a summary of what has occurred in a greater or less degree at Milan, Flor- ence, Turin, Como, Ferrara, Belluno, Lodi, Verona, Parma, Bergarmo, Naples, Brescia, Venice, Hassara, Palermo, Cre- mona, Catania and almost any other town mentionable. The agitation has spread to the country districts, and from all sides come accounts of rioting and indignant protest, of bitter denunciation and loud cries for vengeance upon 'those who have been responsible for the terrible reverse. to the Italian arms.. In spite of the strong force of troops and police present about the chamber of depu- ties today it was with difficulty that order was maintained. As it was, the soldiers and police were frequently jostled by the excited populace, and had it not been for the great forbearance displayed by the Advertise in the “Gazette.” WEEKLYrNORWALKIGA disturbances authorities many serious would have occurred. . __ The chamber of deputies was crowded, and the galleries were packed with excited spectatofs. The crowds about Monte Citcric, upon which the :.".I:an-.r of depu- ties stand's. every now and again raised cries of, ‘Down with the government!” “Death to Bamticri 3” 61:9,,“ anal from the galleries, previous to the entry of the min- isters, a number of persons were ejected by the police for uttering similar cries. Cabinet Resignation Announced. Almost immediatu‘y after the appear- ance of the premier. who'was greeted with cheering by some of his supporters and by cries of derision from his opponents, he announced that the cabinet had resigned and that the king had accepted its resig-' nation. The announcement was followed by loud cheers, which were heard by the crowds outside, and, being understood, were taken" up and echoed far and wide. Some moments elapsed before the cheering subsided, and even then the loud, excited shouts of the Leftists continued for a time. Crispi gazed calmly upon the shouting, cheering deputies, as if such a demonstra- tion was quite an ordinary occurrence, and when he was again able to make him- ' self heard he added: _ “The ministers will remain at their posts until their successors are appointed. ’ ’ More cheers and shouts of disapproval followed this statement, after which the president of the chamber asked .that the house adjourn until the crown decided ,upon the successors of the ministers who had just announced their resignation. The Leftists raised a storm of protest against the proposition, saying that the government should be impeached; that the public was entitled to know who was responsible for'the disaster in Abyssinia, and that there was no excuse for not mak- ing public promptly all the facts in the possession of the ministers. But when the protest of the Leftists had been ex- hausted the house adjourned, pending the appointment of a new cabinet. The Gresham Pension. WASHINGTON, March 6,—The house com- mittee on invalid pensions today decided to report favorably the bill passed by the sen- ate granting to the widow of ex-Secretary Gresham a pension of $100 per month.

A Regular Knockdown 'and Drag Ont Fight In a Justice's Courtroom. . PASSAIC, N. J., March 0,—Passaic city has a sersation that threatens to involve half a dozen merchants before it is settled. Julius Ruppert came to Passaic from Europe a few months ago. He said his son promised to support' him, but failed to do so, and he was left penniless. Simon Slofi', a prominent Second street- merchant,’ took charge of him and paid his expenses. Failing to get any remunera- tion from the son, he started suit against him, and it came up before .Tus‘ice Louis White in his hat store in Passziic street. The courtroom was crowded to the doors. After hearing the evidence on both sides the justice rendered decision against Slofl‘. ~ No sooner had he said the words than SlofI sprang to his feet, leaped over the desk. and, with an oath, knocked the jus- tice to the floor. This started both sides, and in a few minutes the fight became general. The stock of hats was torn down and crushed and showcases and other break- able property destroyed. Knives were drawn and a half dozen of the fighters cut. Justice White struggled to his feet and went for Slofi with a paper knife and struck him between the eyes. The latter returned the blow, nearly knocking one of the justice's eyes out. Word was sent to the police station,»and Acting Captain Mat Kelly hurried to the scene. He arrived just in time to stop two men from killing each other with long knives. He cleared the store and drove the crowd away. Slofi‘.‘ went across the street, secured a hatchet and came back shrieking that he would have White’s life. It took half a dozen of his friends to quiet him. White sought refuge with friends and is in fear of his life. Both men have sworn out warrants. \Veighing the Idails.
