Efforts In Favor of Marin Arc Having the
Elect of Continuing Weyler—Tho
Captain Genes-111’s Joy at Bear-
ing of Macao's Death.
HAVANA, Jan. 19, via. Key West.—
There is considerable complaint here
among newspaper correspondents and
others in regard to the alleged tampering
with mail matter upon the part of the
Spanish authorities, and it is believed that
the attention of the United States authori-
ties will be called to the matter.
Powerful influences continue steadily
working to bring about the recall of Cap-
lain General Weyler. In the first place, it
is beyond doubt that the attacks made up-
on him by the Madrid newspapers have
placed the general in a very unenviable
position toward the government, and al-
most any other man would have resigned
before this.
. Then, again, the sister-in-law of General -
Marin, the captain general of Pucrto Rico,
who was acting captain general of Cuba
previous to the arrival here of General
Weyler, is actively intriguing In his behalf
at Madrid. She' Is alady Of great influence
in political circles, is wealthy, of great in-
telligence and knows when and how to
spend money in order to satisfy her ambi-
lions. She took the chance of General Wey-
ler being attacked and is reported to have
been throwing wood on the fire kindled
with the intention of having General Wey-
ler relieved and General Marin appointed
his successor as captain general of Cuba.
In addition, the wife of General Marin.
who is also famous for her ambition and
generosity, is skillfully working in his be-
half at Madrid. It is said that she and her
family took away with them from Cuba
nearly $2,000, 000. But this is one of the
reasons ‘why the name of General Marin is
not favorably received by producers here
as a successor of Weyler. They do not
wish to see him captain general under any
' conditions, and this is having a counter—
,aeting effect upon his wife’s ambition.
Palmierola Against Marin. .
The Marquis Palmierola, who is looked
upon as being an honest man, and who
commands the friendship of many highly
respectable and influential merchants,
has, it is understood, used his influence
and that of his friends against General
Marin, taking the ground that even Wey-
ler is preferable as captain general of Cuba.
to General Marin. This has had the efi‘ect
of strengthening General Weyler’s posi-
tion, although it is not believed he can last
much longer unless he succeeds in inflict-
ing a severe defeat upon the army of in-
surgents under General Maximo Gomez,
which is understood to be steadily advanc-
ing upon Havana from the east, following
the same route as the one used when Go-
mez over a year ago pushed his forces al-
most to the gates of this city. Therefore
it is thought probable that Weyler will
gather together all the forces he can _dis-
pose of without weakening to a dangerous
extent the garrisons of the large towns
and will push forward into the province
of Santa Clara and occupy positions calcu-
lated to compel Gomez to fight a pitched
battle. Here it is that the strategy of GO-
mez is likely once more to come into play.
Marshal Martinez de Campos and his gen-
erals, when the insurgents first pushed on
westward, mapped out a similar plan of
campaign. But step by step they were
compelled to retreat before the insurgents
without really bringing about a single ’en—
gagement Of importance. The tactics of
the insurgents were, upon hearing that a
Spanish force had been collected across
their route, to pretend advancing in force
upon it. A detachment in nearly every
case was sent to the front and engaged the
Spanish advance posts, drawing upon the
enemy eventually the attention of the main
body of the Spaniards. While this was in
progress the insurgents almost invariably
turned the left flank of the Spanish troops
and pushed onward, compelling the gov—
ernment forces to retreat or to concentrate
in the towns in order to avoid being taken
in the rear as well as possibly on both
flanks. After a long series of such ma-
neuvers, admirably executed, the insur-
gents drove the Spaniards through Puer-to
Principe, Santa Clara and Matanzas ~ and
wound up by almost cutting off the retreat
of Captain General Martinez de Campos,
who had considerable difi‘lculty 1n reaching
Havana in safety.
\Veyler's Probable Fate.
As a military man Campos is classed as
being far superior to Weyler, and so, if
Gomez was able to play with- Campos in
this manner, the insurgent general is likely
to handle Weyler much more severely.
In connection with the reports of the ap-
proaching recall of General Weyler it is in-
teresting to note the manner in which he
received the news Of the death of Antonio
Maceo, a circumstance which has only just
leaked out from the palace. At first Wey-
ler would not believe the report and an-
nounced his intention Of paying no atten-
tion to it until he received official confirma-
tion of Maceo’ s death. This was eventually
brought to him while he was at the break-
fast table, whereupon General Weyler arose
from his seat, and raising his hands and
eyes heavenward he exclaimed:
“Me buena estrella aun no ha eclipsai
do!” (“My good star fortune is not yet
eclipsedl”)
This happened at a time when, as was
well known to the captain general’s most
intimate friends, he was disposed to resign,
and it is thus shown that the death of An-
tonio Maceo actually saVed Weyler from
throwing up his position.
Incidentally the eclipse of the captain
general’s good star is only averted at pres-
, out by the, ambition of the sister-in-law
and wife Of General Marin in their efforts
to obtain for him the captain generalship
'Of Cuba, and if General Polavieja, the cap-
' tain general of the Philippine islands, who
seems to have made great progress in sup~
pressing the insurrection there, accom-
plishes the task he has before him within
a reasonable time it is believed here that
he will be chosen to succeed Weyler in
Cuba.
Active Demonstration Necessary.
It is still insisted in Havana that Max-
imo Gomez recently wrote to the New York
)unta informing them that he «must have
additional supplies of arms and ammuni-
tion shortly or else the insurrection would
“die of consumption,” but this is not
credited in insurgent circles, and it is em-
phatically denied that he has notified the
junta that the insurgents who are under
arms are prepared to accept autonomy. As
previously stated, a peace party does exist
among the insurgents, but this party is in
the minority at present.-
' demonstration upon their part is absolutely
necessary within thernear future they
are to retain the, strong sympathy ardused
for them in the United States, and it is
ordered to advance westward and finally
consented to do so, much against his will,
as he is fully alive to the difficulties of the
task. In the first place, the movements of
the insurgents can no longerbe made with
the remarkable rapidity which character-
ized their first march through Cuba, for
they no longer have the horses which they
had in the first raid, and it was the in-
surgent cavalry which so frequently out-
witted Martinez de Campos and his lieu-
tenants. Then, again, the wearisome cam-
paign has had a depressing efl‘ect upon the
insurgents as well as upon the Spaniards,
and this feeling was increased materially
by the death of Macao and by the fact that
the supplies of ammunition are running
short. The scenes of suffering, destitution
and ruin which are witnessed on all sides
in Cuba have also left their mark upon
the minds of the really patriotic Cubans,
although their desire for independence is
as strong as ever. They believe, however,
that the Object of the insurrection would
have been attained long before this, and
consequently there is a growing desire to
allow the authorities at Washington to set-
tle upon the degree of autonomy which
Spain may be willing to accord the Cu-
bans.
Gomez VVon't Surrender.
All talk about the willingness of Gomez
to surrender is classed as utter nonsense by
the insurgents, and even the Spaniards
pay no heed to it, although he may be .de-
sirous of seeing thfi end Of the insurrection
that he did not think Spain would have
been able to make the sacrifices she has
made. In any case, Gomez seems to be
pushing on westward, and the Spaniards
hope to bring about a fixed battle before
long.
A friend of the insurgents who Is usually
very well informed was heard to remark
today that he did not believe that the main
body of the insurgents would advance far-
ther westward than the city of Colon, in
the western part of the province Of Ma-
tanzas, as Gomez would be taking too
great a risk in so doing with the resources
at his command. Nevertheless, the gentle-
man referred to added, it would perhaps
be best for him to do so in any case, as it.
would tend to raise the drooping spirits of
the insurgents, who, 1n addition to Maceo,
have lost beyond doubt a. number of other
important leaders.
Under these circumstances a really ener-
getic general, with 30,000 or 40,000 men
under his command, might be able to make
short work of the insurrection. But Wey-
ler is not the kind of man to accomplish
anything brilliant.
Outside assistance is what the insur-
gents stand badly in need of at present, and
without it, it is concluded, they will be re-
duced to a state Of weakness which will
compel them to accept the terms of Spain,
although this may turn out to be but a.
temporary arrangement, which will be fol-
lowed by another and more successful in-
surrection in due course of time. In any
case everything depends upon the friends
of the insurgents in the United States. If
they do not exert themselves promptly and
effectively in the very near future, the
dream of independence for Cuba may pass
away for the present. The turning point
of the insurrection, it is believed here, has
been reached.

BAD FOR LBADVILLB.» '
All the Great Mines In Carbon-to Elli
May Be Flooded. -
LEADans, Colo.. Jan. 18.—The crisis
in the trouble which Leadville has under-
gone since last June has been reached, and
a calamity far worse than the strike of the
metallic miners here has overtaken the
camp. For the first time in 15 years the
immense pumps that have drained the big
her of Leadville, have been pulled out,
while the pipe lines connecting sreto be
removed at once. The Maid-Henrette
water a minute. and depending upon this
were nearly all the great mines of Carbon-
ate hill. _
How long the mines afiected by this
move can hold out is merely a matter for
‘conjecture. There are fniles Of workings
in Carbonate hill, and these will probably
fill up slowly, so that down workings may
not be reached by the rush Of water for a
month or two. It is, mwever, only a
:loubtedly find many mines idle as a re-
sult of the floods.
A prominent mining man said that it
was his opinion that the pumps Would
never again be placed in the Maid property
even if the strike was settled. Indeed, if
there is any settlement made with the end
in view that the pumps would be replaced,
it would have to come very soon, for with-
in a week the Maid and the Henrette would
to put the pumps back or even to get into
the stations.

railroad from washington for New York "
ran into a. Philadelphia and Reading local,
bound from Philadelphiato Bound Brook,
has resulted in one death. Mahlon Dick-
inson of Philadelphia, the baggage master
on the local train, died in the Muhlenberg
hospital, Plainfleld, early today. George
Behl of Bound Brook, the fireman of the
local train, who is suffering from concus-
‘sion of the brain as well as other injuries,
is still unconscious and likely to die.. .
The engineer, Charles A. Clapp of J er-
sey City, of the Royal Blue express, who
was severely scalded all over the body and
was injured internally, was reported to be
slightly better today, and it was stated at
the hospital that there was now Some hope

stopping his train it continued slowly un-
til the end of the siding was reached. Ash-
ton did not stop even then. and it was not
until his engine, tender and the baggage
car had again got on the main track that
he brought his train to a standstill. The
express was but a short distance away
then, and before the local could be backed

occurred. Those hurt were all railroad

THE BIG OOPFEE WAR.
Statements by the Chief Director of the
“’oolson Company.
TOLEDO, Jan. 19.—The fight between
the Arbuckles and the Sugar trust regard-
ing the price of" coffee is becoming more
bitter. “Were it not for the injunction suit
hanging over our heads, ” said the chief
director of the Woolson Spice company to-
day, “we would cut the price of coffee an-
other half cent a pound. We cannot do it,
however, in face of the order of the court.
Instead of. losing $1, 000 per day, as it is
stated by the Arbuckles in their petition
against us, on account Of cutting prices, we
are making over $1,000 per day, which our
books will show. . We have no fear of the
outcome of the suit, because we can show
that the business is prospering. The price
Of coffee is too high now, and we can aflord
to lower it if the courts will only permit
us to do so. We are running night and day
and employ 60 hands. and if the suit comes
our way we will employ 1,200 inside Of the
next ten days. If the suit goes against us,
then we will be compelled to remove from
Toledo and secure a location elsewhere.
Our purpose is to make Toledo the great
and only ccflee center of the world.
“ The trouble with Arbuckle is that he
bought codes for 11 cents per pound when
he could have purchased it a short time
afterward at 9 to 9% cents per pound. He
is trying to sell coffee on the basis of his
11 cents per pound purchases, while we are
twilling to give the public the benefit of
our 9 cents per pound purchase for the
same class of goods. This is where the
whole fight hinges. Arbuckle made a. bad
deal in buying cofiee, and he wants the
public to help him out, while we bOught
at market prices and arewilling and ready
to let the public enjoy the benefit of our
economical purchase. We are in the coffee
business for the money there is in it, not
or our health, and we propose to stay
here regardless of threats and intimida-
tions. ”

APPAIES IN ALASKA. -
l lonofi‘oioi Bennits of tho Blgid Enforce-
meat of Existing Statutes.
PORT TOWNSHEND, Wash, Jan. 19.:— .
From latest Alaskan advices it is appzrent
that the former lawless spirit preva.ent in
the territory is being supplanted by a . t
- wholesome respect for law and order avd
for the district court, which has just fin-
ished the first winter in Juneau. Concern-
ing the indictment of" Joseph Murray by
the grand jury for libel TheMining Bec-
ord says:
“Mr. Joseph Murray late fish cemmis-
sioner for Alaska and special treasury
agent, saw fit' In his last annual report to
impugn the Inotives and integrity of our
court, and this action of the grand jury
will afford an opportunity to substantiate
his words or to crawfish his way out of
the predicament into which he has permit-
ted his prejudiccs to lead him. All Alaska
is indebted to United States Attorney
Benney, Clerk Rogers and Marshall Wile
liams for the able suppOrt which they have
rendered Judge Delaney in his efl’orts to
kill the germs of -' . ime with which Alaska
seems of late to has become inoculated.
Every one seems to have been actuated by
no purpose other than‘a conscientious per;
formance of the duties imposed, and that
they have sneceeded is not to be gainsaid.
The manifest determination of the court
to maintain and enforce the laws as they
stand has won the applause ofj’he judge’s
friends and the respect of his L .emies, and
it is to behoped that the good work so well
begun may not he suffered to lapse, but
may be prosecuted to a finality.
“No better method 'could be adopted for
bringing about the enactment of whole-
some legislation than lies in the rigid en-
forcement of existing misfit statutes. If
these law 5 be disregarded and be permitted
-tO become 'a dead letter upon the statute
books, they will remain so forever. It wilf
require hard work and plenty of it to se-
. cure substitution of better laws, but Judge
Delaney has pointed out a way and opened
the gates, and it remains only for the peo-
ple of Alaska to act in concert and in
unity Of purpose to secure the remedial
leigslation which has so long been un-
availingly sought. _”
.Alaska and Puget sound merchants and
the steamship companies are preparing for
-an influx of 10, 000 to 15, 000 miners into
Alaska this spring. Last year about 5, 000
men went north in search of wealth. The
success of many of these, coupled with
strikes made on Cloudy creek, a tributary
of the Yukon, late last season and system-
atic advertising now being done, is hav-
ing the effect of attracting gold seekers
from every part of the country.
