"w’ 1:, SEPARATED FROM GARCIA. “'eyler Professes to Be Anxious to Bring About a Decisive Action—Evils Brought About by the Currency Mudd'lc In the Island. HAVANA, via Key West, Feb. 19. —If the official reports are correct, the insurgent army under General Maximo Gomez has been divided into small corps, and Gomez tinned advance of Captain General Vt eyler. Dispatches from Ciego de Avila say that the insurgent commander in chief, with 4,000 men, has reerossed the military line in the province of Puerto Principe, extend- ing f10111 lucaro to Mo: on, and that ho is going eastward through Puerto PIincipo and in the di1ect-ion of the (apital of tho! province. also called Puerto Principe. General Calixto (Gomez’s second in com- : mand) was report-ed four days ago to be in the vicinity of Puerto Principe, on the north coast of the province, and retreating toward the same point as Gomez. Captain General Weyler arrived yester- day at Sancti Spiritus, the most important town in the eastern part of the province of Santa Clara, near the boundary of Puerto Principe and in the territory where the in- surgént headquarters were recently located, and as he has been able to reach that place, apparently, without any serious molesta- tion upon the part of the insurgents, the report that Gomez is retreating would ap- pear to be borne out by facts. It is announced that the insurgents have retreated to the mountains and to the woods before the Spanish advance, and that from Sancti Spiritns Captain General Weyler will push forward his columns to Moron, Ciego de Avila. and J nearo, thus1 seemingly sweeping across the island with a large force and driving the enemy before him toward the eastern part of the island. In Santiago de Cuba. strong columns of Spanish troops have been assembled, and it is believed the plan is to attempt to catch Gomez and Calixto between the armies advancing under Weyler and the Spanish: columns in Santiago de Cuba. 111 any case the most interesting stage of the campaign seems to have been reached, and the outcome will be awaited with Consid- erable anxiety by both Spaniards and Cu- bans. The Two Theories. The supporters of the , former hope that the Spanish commander will succeed in bringing about a. decisive action before the rains begin and end the military opera- tions for the season. On the other hand, the friends of the insurgents assert that Gomez may be trusted to thwart the plans of General Weyler, and that, if it is true that the insurgent armies have retreated from the province of Santa. Clara, the in- surgent general has done so for a. purpose and in order still further to carry out his policy of exhausting the Spaniards to the utmost, while remaining in the field in spite of, their efforts. General Weyler now occupies a very ad- antageous position from which to con- duct his future operations against the in- surgents. From Sancti Spiritus a short line of railroad communicates with the port of Tunas, on the northern coast, and by this means he can have conveyed to him by water all the re-enforcements, sup« plies, ammunition, etc., which he needs, and it also gives him a. convenient high- way over which he can send his sick and wounded to the rear. Ciego do Avila, from which point the news of the retreat of Gomez is received, is a place of some importance on the mili- tary line, and the reports are believed in official circles to be authentic. Advices from Santa. Clara under date of Feb. 11 said that a force of more than 1,000 insurgents was camped at San Gil, 12 miles from that city, under the com- mand of Generals Mayia Rodriguez and Chuco Montagudo, apparently intending to continue their march toward the Vuelta district in the same province. Pinar del Rio Not Pacified. A dispatch from Consolacion del Sur, province of Pinar del Rio, further confirms the statement that Pinar del *Rio is far i from being pacified, as the captain general claims. Numerous bands of insurgents are hidden in the thick woods, and on Mon- day the insurgents threw an exploring train from Pinar del Rio from the track, by the use of dynamite, bfitween Los Pala- cios and Paso Real, blowing 11p a. culvert, destroying the engine, overturning an armor plated car, killin thO soldiers of the escort, wounding eig others and seri- ously injuring the engineer and fireman. The line is still interrupted, and passen- gers bound from Pinar del Rio to this city have to be transferred to trains in waiting at the point where the explosion took place. Otherwise trains to and from the city are running as usual. The military commander of Artemisa, Senor Hldalgo, after reconnoitering the Las Canas district, reports that families can resume cultivation there under the terms of General Weyler’s first edict, but not as living inside a fortified zone. Ac- cording to the terms of the captain gen- eral’s second edict, fully 60 families 'of that district were compelled to abandon their homes, burning all their houses, includ- ing some handsome dwellings and a. large starch factory. ' The bank bills question is‘producing so; rlous differences among the proprietors of the exchange houses and the government officials. Many of them have returned their licenses to the government and in- tend to close their businesses. The whole matter has caused great excitement among the people, particularly in the case of the poorer classes, as the stores of all descrip- tions have, in consequence of the forced silver bill currency. raised the price of all. ‘ kinds of merchandise 40 per cent. This is making the people more desper- ate and has added greatly to the burdens , they have been hearing for a long time; Milk and beef are scarce. all kinds of prof: . visions are very" dear, the butchers have“ just raised their prices another 50 per cent, and grocers and others have followed theiw example. ,. The statement that everybody' Is tired of the war has so frequently been made that it is almost useless to repeat it. But recent developments'have intensified this feeling considerably, and there are signs of it on all sides. The feeling of depression cannot be dissipated by changes in the features of the campaign. Everybody wants the war Sympathy For Insurgents. H.111 rusnuue, Feb. 19. —In the house of repiescntutivcs today a Cuban, resolution \1 .13 ieported from the federal relations' committee and adopted.

Turkey Retires Gracefully and Thus Avoids Conflict With Greece, \Vho Still Continues to Send Re-en- forcements Forward. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. IS.—'l‘he coun- cil of ministers, as a result of its all day session at Yildiz kidsk,‘ has decided to leave the pacification of Ciete to the pow- ers. This is regarded as a wise dccidon in the face of a most complicated situation in Crete, where the flags of Russia, France, Great Ioitain, Italy and Austria are flying alongside the Turkish standard, while Greece is seemingly defying the powers 01 acting as the mandatory of Europe. The ministerial council also decided to send Karatheodori Pasha to Crete as im- perial high commissioner to adopt mili- ary measures 011 the Greek frontier, as previously intimated, to appoint Marshal Edhem Pasha, who directed the operations against the insurgents of Zeitun in 1896, to command the Turkish troops at Elas~ sons. and to call out the rcdifs, or land- wehr (first reserves), of the Third army corps, which is now at Salonika. These measures, however, are for purely defensive purposes and are taken in order to enable the Thrkish government to be prepared for all evontualitics. ’l‘he sultan has informed the ambassa- dors of the powers that, in view of the ag- gressive attitude of Greece, he has been obliged to adopt measures 1equired by the situation. At the same time the sultan took the oc- casion to express his satisfaction at the landing of the detachments of marines at Khania from the warships of Russia, France, Great Britain, Italy and Austria for the restoration of order in Crete. " The Porte “'as Angry. In spite' of this peaceful outlook it is known 13 at the discmbarkation of the Greek for s in Crete caused agreat sensa— tion at Yildiz kiosk, and it required the use of much tact and diplomatic skill upon the part of the em bassadors to prevail upon the portc to accept the situation as it is now presented. Anti-Turkish manifestations are report- ed to have occurred at Arta and Prevcssa, in Thessaly. Shots have been fired and a Turkish frontier guard has been wounded. It is hoped, however, that no further trou- blc will occur, although the Greeks are known to be gathering troops near the frontier. Tho sultan seems to be well aware that Greece has not acted as defiant- ly as she has done without having at least one powerful friend behind her, and it is this feature of the complications which is having the most calming effect upon the Turks, who also see in the abandonment of Crete to Greece 3. possible loophole of escape from further and much more im- portant changes in the map of the Turk- ish empire. To the sultan it seems to be the old story of its being an ill wind which blows nobody good, and he is credited with hoping that; his obedience to the wishes of the powerful friem‘. or friends of Greece in the matter of Cl etc may be placed to his credit when the long dis- cussed and much postponed “re."orms” of the Turkish empire (the plans for which wore finally signed by the embassadors here on Feb. 10, just as Grcece began her active demonstrations in the direction of Crete) come to the front again. The action of Greece may have been nothing more than a. coincidence, it is remarked. But it is out of such coincidences that oriental diplomacy is framed. A Significant Incident. There was an incident at the People’s theater in the Stamboul quarter yesterday evening which is regarded by many people as being an attempt to provoke another outbreak upon the part of the Mussul- mans. Two Albanian soldiers of the Yildiz palace guard, the most trusted\troops of the sultan, were among the audience, and suddenly these two soldiers discharged their revolvers in the air, causing a. torri- ble panic. A rough and tumble fight fol- lowed, during which a bystander was wounded, and the two guardsmen were arrested and taken to the nearest police depot, previous to being handed over to the military authorities of the Yildiz kiosk. It has been announced in the newspa- pcrs’hcre that the Turkish minister at Athens, Assim Bey, has been appointed a member of the council of state, that he is to be recalled immediately, and that the Greek minister here, Prince Maurocordato, is to be given his passports. But as this dispatch is sent the report has not been confirmed, and the sultan may have been induced by the embassadors to delaythe matter indefinitely. Greek Troops Going Forward. ATHENS, Feb. 18.—The battery of field artillery commanded by Prince Nicholas of Greece started today hr Larissa, 20 miles from the gulf of Salonika. The naval mud military reserves are still being enroll- ed. The Greek ironcladSpezia, which ar rived from Toulon yesterday, will be pre pared for active service with all possible haste. Re-enforccments are being sent to the Greek troops on the island of Crete. Stores, provisions and munitions of war accompany them. The Greek government maintains that it is acting in the interests of the peace of Europe. An Incandescent Light Trust. ST.

THE QUESTION OF PRICES. Charles R. Flint, One of the Prominent omcers of the Company, Admits That He Knows Little or Nothing of Its Methods and Afl‘airs. NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—Mr. Charles R. Flint of the United States Rubber com- pany was recalled to the stand at the open— ing of the session of the legislative trust investigating committee today. He produced the certificate of organiza- tion of the United States Rubber company. The information regarding the capitalizw tion of the different companies referred to yesterday, he said, was not in the posses- slon of his company, but he had sent to the offices of the different companies for it. He then produced data regarding the date and place of organization of the different companies. The Myer Rubber company, he said, was organized with a capital of $200,000; New Jersey Rubber Shoe com- pany. $200,000; New Brunswick Rubber company, $300, 000; American Rubber company, $1,000,000; Boston Rubber com- pany, $200,000; Elk Candee company, $600,000; Goodyear National Rubber Shoe company, $1,(‘q30,000; the Lycoming Rub- ber company, he thought, had $400,000; Rubber Manufacturing Selling company of Connecticut, $300,000. “Now for all the comparisons you have mentioned, how much capital stock of the United States Rubber company was is- sued?” asked Mr. Lexow. “In round figures, $26,000,000. ” “How much of that stock was issued for the purchase of the Foster Rubber com- pany?” ’ “There was no subdivision of the stock. The appraisers recommended a lump sum for the purchase of all those properties. ” “In reaching the amount of capital stock to be issued there must have been some ap- praisement of value of each company. Can you tell what appraisement was made upon . the Foster property?” “I cannot. That apprdisemcnt was made by the Simmons company. I have never had access to that information. ” “Do you mean to say that you have no means of telling how much stock was is- sued to each of these companies?” “I do. I was not then th‘d treasurer 01 the company—was not even a. member of the board of directors.” A Modest Witness. The chairman then tried to get him to admit that he was the leading spirit in the organization of the United States Rubber company. but he would not admit it. This the chair1.-.zn held to be fOr the reason of modesty only, and witness finally admit- ted, after much questioning, that he was ‘ very active in its organization and expect- ed to become one of its leading officers. “Why was it that immediatelyafter the issuing of stock, amounting to $25,000,- 000, the president of the Knickerbocker Trust company ceased to be treasurer and you were elected?” “Perhaps because I was more familiar with the rubber business, I being an im- porter of crude rubber.” ‘ 'Do you mean to say that you accepted that responsibility of handling these funds without inquiring into the legality of the issue of the stock?” ‘ I depended upon the supermr, Wisdom of my counsel. ” “Did you not consider it suspicions that data regarding the value of these proper- ties should be withheld from you by the committee on appraisement?” ‘No, I did not.” “Did you ever l'now of a case where so much secrecy s. wounded the appraise- ment of the value 1' proporty upon which stock was to be i:sucd‘:” The witness said he knew personally or the details of the formation of no other similar combination. He admitted that the committee on appraisement had care- fully kept concealed from him the facts and figures upon‘which the appraisement was made. Hence his inability to give any more information upon that point. When asked whether he wished to testify that the members of the committee still had possession of those figures, he replied that he did not; that they were in the archives of the United States Trust com- pany at New Brunswick. “Under your control as treasurer?” he Was asked. - After a long series of questions he ad- mitted that he might when accompanied by another officer of the company get ac- cess to them, they being deposited in safe deposit vaults. Flint Carries His Point. The only condition upon which the wit- ness would reply thereafter was by being allowed to give his explanation, and the chairman was compelled to allow him to do so. Sometimes the chairman tried to stop him, when both witness and chair- -man would be shouting at each other at the same time. “Did you not increase the price of rub ber goods from 20 to 44 per cent immedi- ately after the formation of the combina- tion?” asked the chairman. Mr. Flint said that he did not know, but told about the hard times the rubber companies had gone through, which, he said, would justify such an advance. “Did you not advance the price of rub- ber boots from $1.90 to $2. 60 in the spring of 1893?” He said that he never sold goods, was not familiar with the details, never talked with a broker or buyer, and was in a dif- ferent line of business, when the chairman interrupted by saying that Mr. Flint had mentioned that fact 53 times since called to the stand yesterday. ‘ He asked for a direct answer. As a direct answer. the witness made 3 Speech about the improvements made in rubber boots since the formation of the combination and various improvements made in rubber goods, and this made Mr. Lexow more angry than ever.

Body of the Famous Veteran Laid to Rest . a't Taunton, Mass. After lying in state in St. Thomas’s ' Epf scopal church at Taunton, Mesa, for nearly 24 hours in the cap ofa chard of honor, the remains of Major General Darius N. Conch were taken to Mount Pleasant cemetery, yesterday afternoon, attended by many “of the men of the Seventh Massachusetts Vol- unteers, whom he led from Taunton to the seat of war on July 12, 1861. ‘ The funeral assumed a public charac- ter.
