pects Shon to Accomplish.

HAVANA, Jan. 6,—General Weyler has
conferred the title of chief of staff of divi-
sion upon General Andres Gonzales Munoz,
who has been very sick, but has recovered
his health. The steamer Santo Domingo
has arrived here from Spain with 14 ofli-
cars and 400 soldiers on board.

The steamer Julia, from Santiago de
Cuba, brings Colonel Favia, 24 officers
and 670 soldiers, and the Manuele, from
the same port, brings 55 sick. ‘

The chamber of commerce of Havana
and several delegates from other towns in
the province of Havana met under the

presidency of Civil Governor Porua. They.

adopted resolutions referring to the recon-
struction, as far as possible, of civil order
in the province, the establishment of zones
of cultivation in the neighborhood of the
fortified towns and measures to defend
agricultural laborers. - The meeting ap-
pointed a commission to consider the ques-
tion and to advance the project.

Twenty-three political prisoners have
been sent to the isle of Pines by way of
Batabano.

General Luque reports from Cienfuegos
that he has had an encounter with 1,500
insurgents, under Maximo Gomez, at Mor-
roquin, which is in Santa Clara province,
west of the central trocha. The attempt
of the insurgents to pass, General Luque
says, was prevented at Santa Teresa and
at several other points. At Santa Teresa
400 insurgent cavalry attacked the Spanish
convoy and were met with grapeshot,
which caused great destruction.

Queer Story of Losses.

It is estimated that the insurgents lost
over 100. The loss of the column was a
captain and a soldier killed and 13 soldiers
wounded. The Spanish convoy arrived at
Arroyo Blanco. which is on the boundary
1i e between Puerto Principe and Santa
C are.

Colonel Alsina reports that he has dis-
persed several groups of insurgents at
Brujitas, in Pinar del Rio, and has killed
9 insurgents and burned over 100 huts.

Mr. Olney, secretary of state, has sent
an order to United States Consul General
Lee to visit Henry Delgado, the corre-
spondent of a New York newspaper, who
was captured as a political prisoner, and,
being sick, is confined in the hospital of
San Ambrosio. Dr. Burgess, physician to
the U ited States consulate general, hav-
ing ob' ained permission from the govern-
ment, visited Mr. Delgado and found the
condition of the patient slightly improved.

Representative Money of Mississippi up-
on his return to Havana said that he had
been in the interior on business of a wholly
private character. He saw certain estates,

' he said, with a view to investment. ' He

was neither molested by the government
outposts nor did he see any insurgents. He
dined with Consul General Lee and with
Mr. Walter B. Baker, United States con-
sul at Sagua la Grande, who is here for
consultation with General Lee.

It is understood that the prisoner Oscar
Cespcdes will be transferred from Matanzas
to the Cabanas fortress in Havana at the
request of General Lee.

There is a report current that Senator
John Sherman, chairman of the senate
committee On foreign relations, is expected
in Havana.

 

Weyler's Latest Statement.

MADRID, Jan. 6.—The correspondent at
Havana of E1 Imparcial of this city ca-
bles that he has had an interview with
Captain General Weyler during which the
latter expressed surprise at the newspaper
campaign in Spain against him. The gen-
eral did not deny the existence of abuses,
but said his conscience was clear and that
at the proper time he would show what he
had done. GeneralWeyler also expressed
the greatest satisfaction at the progress of
the campaign in Pinar del Rio province,
which, he asserted, was so far pacified that
he could withdraw the greater part of the
trOOps from that part of the island for use
in the imminent operations in the prov-
inces of Havana and Matanzas and: as far
as the military line of Puerto Principe. .

Continuing, Captain General Weyler is
quoted as saying that he expected to finish
the insurrection in .theprovince'of Havana
within a fortnight and achieve a total
pacification of the island to J ucaro, the
southern extremity of the military line in
the province of Puerto Principe, long be-
fore the rainy season. He further stated
that he was inclined to conduct ceaseless
operations until he had achieved his object,
as the conditions prevailing were promis-
ing.

A Congressman’s Report.

M’OULLAGH’S MONEY.

The St. Louis Editor’s Estate to Go to
Seven Sets of Heirs.

' ST. LOUIS, Jan. 6.——Joseph. B. McCul-
lagh, late editor of The Globe-Democrat,
left no will, and his estate, now in the
hands of Dr. William C. Richardson, the
public administrator, will be divided be-
tween seven sets of heirs, part of whom
live in_ Dublin. These heirs consist of
Mrs. Rachael Souler, a sister living in
Brooklyn; another sister living in Dublin,
and the children of ,five brothers and sis-
ters who are dead. '

John G. Young and little Gladys Mc-
Cullagh, the adopted daughter of John W.
McCullagh, the editor’s favorite brother,
are the only heirs living in this city. The
others, so far as their names could be
learned, are: William Armstrong, a
nephew, living in Chicago; Sarah Rankin
and Fanny Holtz, children of a sister now
dead, who lived in Brooklyn, and the chil-
dren of another sister who died in DL‘JIID
several years ago.

Dr. Richardson has formally taken pos-
session of the estate. A conservative esti-
mate of its value is $210,000, which, divid-
ed amsng the seven sets of heirs, will give
each about $30,000. Among the dead
editor’s papers were found stock in several
mining companies, with a. face value of
$10,000,000. The real value, however, is
comparatively little.

THE PACIFIC ROADS.

Resolutions In California's Lagislat ure
Opposing Funding Bills.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 6.—In the assembly
Mr. Belshaw has introduced a” resolution
instructing California’sadelegation in con-
gress to work against all Pacific railroad
refunding bills, and in lieu thereof to favor
legislation previding for the foreclosure
and sale of the roads, upon condition that
the government shall bid in the roads and
operate them as national enterprises for
the benefit of the people. .

Mr. Caminetti offered a substitute op-
posing all extensions of Pacific road debts;
requesting senatOrs and representatives in
congress to use all honorable means to de-
feat the funding bill; favoring the imme-
diate collection of railroad debts, and in
event such debts cannot be collected fa-
voring the enforcement of the existing
laws of the United States concerning Pa-
' cific roads.

The Caminetti substitute also provides
for a committee of nine members—three
from the senate, three from the assembly
and three citizens, to be appointed by the
governor—such committee to proceed to
Washington to work against the passage
of any funding bill. Both resolutions were
referred to a committee.

 

Perkins Seems to Have It.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 6.—The senatorial
fight is the all absorbing topic of conversa-
tion about headquarters of the lawmakers.

Perkins have nothing left to do but the
shouting. Fifty-eight names have been
attached to the petition which has been
circulated among the members of both
houses by the Perkins forces, and it is
claimed that the necessary number of votes
required to re—elect the senator have been
secured.

The Yale-Harvard llluddle.

1\' FW HAVEN, Jan. 6. —According to the
present status of LIIings, negotiations be.
tween Yale and Harvard looking toward a

TWO FREIGHT WREOKS.

One Had Hardly Been Cleared Away Be-
fore the Other Occurred.

TERRYVILLE, Bonn, Jan. 6. —- Two
freight wrecks occurred on the New York
and New England railroad about one-half
mile from this station. The small wreck-
age of the first accident had hardly been
cleared away when a second freight left
the tracks at the same spot, and another
and longer delay was caused. '

Freight train No. 126, from Waterbury,-
east bound, consisting of 40 cars, had
reached a point near this station when a
journal broke, and two cars were derailed.
The damage was not great, but there was
several hours’ delay, inasmuch as awreck-
er had to be summoned from Waterbury,
and before the derailed cars could be
reached it was necessary to haul nearly the
entire train of 40 cars half a mile to a sid~
ing. The tracks were finally cleared, and
the east and west bound passenger trains
went through.

An hour later another eastbound freight
from Waterbury arrived, and at the same
spot three cars jumped the rails, presuma-
bly because of a weakness in the tracks
caused by the first wreck. The wrecker
was again summoned, but it was more
than seven hours before traffic was re-
sumed.

.A Tobacco Grower Explains the Demand '
of ms Association.

"WASHINGTON. .‘an. 5. ‘— The tobacCo
schedule was the su’o'ect of the hearing be-
fore the ways and Iiieans committee today.
Michael Tobin «if Baldwinsville, N. Y.,
representing the New York State Tobacco
wGrowcrs’ association, of which he has been
president nine years. was the first speaker.
He said the tobacco growers were badly in
need of relief. They had expended vast
sums in warehouses, etc.. and had been,
until the importation of Sumatra begun,
fairly prosperous. Tobacco‘ farms were
then worth $51.25 an acre. Such forms now
were generally mortgaged and would not
today liquidate their incumbrances. He
did not think it fair that the Holland syn-
dicate, which employed cooly labor at 12
cents a d .37, Should be allowed to annihi-
late the grcut lcaf tobacco industry in this
country. He denied that American leaf
was nut suitable for wrappers. Sumatra,
he said, had no merit except its appear-
once.

H e complained cf the elastic language
in the act of 1:. The schedule in the
act of 1890, for which he claimed credit,
he said, would be satisfactory. The duty
should be enough to relieve the tobacco -
growers. The consumer, he said, would
not be injurcdby an adequate duty. He
could get his cigars at the same price at
retail. The only way the American grow-
ers could be relieved would be to give
them an opportunity to'furnish a fair pro-
portion of the wrappers. He was not pre.
pared to suggest a schedule until he had
further consultation with his association,
but he did not hesitate to say that $2 on
unstemmed wrappers was not enough.

In reply to a question from~ Mr. Payne
(Rep. , N. Y.) Mr. Tobin said that 1%
pounds of Sumatra would wrap 1,000 ci-
gars, while it would take 16 pounds of
American to wrap the same number. He
said the quality of the American wrapper
lea-f had not improved of recent years be.
cause there had been no inducement to
grOWers to care for their leaves. Speak-
ing of the equality of tobacco, he said of
course Cuban tobacco ranked first. "Su-
matra, he said, was decidedly the worst.
He had no doubt that any importer of Sn-
matra would rather have Sumatra exclud-
ed than smoke a cigar made wholly of Su-
matra, because if he smoked it he would
probably lose his breakfast.

He said the growers cared nothing about
fillers. They were interested primarily in
wrappers. Chairman Dingley called atten-
tion to the fact that under the reduction
of duty of 50 cents per pound on wrappers
in the act of 1894 the increase of imports
of Sumatra had been over 40 per cent.
Moreover, he said, it was a remarkable fact
that the price of Sumatra tobacco increased
50 cents a pound as soon as the duty was
reduced 50 cents. Mr. Tobin confirmed
this, but had no explanation to offer.

ELECTION DEOLARED VOID.

Result of the Case Where Clerical Intim-
idation Was Charged.

MONTREAL, Jan. 5.—-The election in
Champlain county, in which clerical in-
timidation was charged, has been declared
void. Bishop Lafieche and the clergy who
were summoned to appear refused to, give
testimony, and the sitting member, Dr.
Marcottc, to avoid their committal for con-
tempt of court, admitted corrupt practices
by agents, thus making the election void.
Judge Bourgeois, in delivering the judg.
ment of the court, said that election meant
choice—that is to say, that the electors are
called upon to make a choice of a candi-
date. This choice must be a free one.
There is no liberty if the elector’s vote is
not free. No one may forcibly influence
the will of the people. A vote given is not
a free vote by a free elector if impose-'3 upon
him by a power which he fears to (3.: obey.
