Gen. Segura Disgusted With Pan-
do’s Method of Campaign.
SAY-S THE ISLAND IS LOST
Believes \Vnr Inevitable Between
Spain and the United States.
Canalejas \Vill Advise the Gov-
ernment to Abandon Its Colony.
Havana, Cuba, Jan. 7.—Senor Canal-
ejas was coldly received at Santiago de
Cuba. The Spanish Casino refused to
tender him a banquet and he was
hissed, on the sheets. It is understood
that the opposition to him. is due to
the fact that he is the editor of' El Her-
aldo de Madrid, which has violently
attacked Gen. VVeyler. It is reported
that his impressions regarding Cuba
are pessimistic, and'that he will advise
the Spanish Government to abandon
the island.
Gens. Blanco, Parrado and Pando
called on Gen. Segura at the Hotel
Florinda. to try to induce him to re-
main in the island. He refused. He
does not wish to be responsible, he de-
clares, for the future development of
the “disgraceful Spanish rule in Cuba.”
Gen. Segura is an intelligent and 11011-
est fighter, and is wholly disgusted with
Gen. Plandoi‘s method of campaigning.
He says Pando spends more gunpowder
in getting autonomy than in fighting
insurgents, and adds that, in his opin-
ion, Cuba is lost to Spain unless the
Government sends Gen. Polavieja 01'
returns Gen. W'eyler. The latter he c011-
siders out of 'the question. Gen. Pola—
vieja. he holds in high esteem. believing
that this officer could end the war if
an extermination policy were adopted.
Gen. Segura also believes war inevit-
able between Spain and the United
, States, and that the pretext for it will
be the filibustering expeditions.
Insurgents Burn ("11110.
The insurgents are carrying out the
orders of Gen. Gomez not to allow
grinding, and they set fire to the cane
fields wherever possible, from one end
of the island to the other.
Gen. Pando‘ sailed yesterday by the
steamer Panama, going eastward. He
will probably go first to Nuevitas.
Puerto Principe, and from there by
steamer to Gibara, thence proceeding to
Santiago de Cuba. The insurgents re-
cently made a strong attack upon Nuc—
vi-tas in considerable force, with loss on
both sides. It is believed that this is
the reason why Gen. Pando is going
there. The insurgent Gen. Ducasse is
in sight of Bahia Honda, with 350 men.
Troops have been sent to meet him. ,
Senor Vasallo, Civil Governor of
Puerto Principe, sent Senor Prinelies
to the insurgent camp to induce the 111—
s'urgents to accept autonomy and to
get a permit to drive away his cattle.
He was held by the insurgents, but
fortunately met a former servant in his
household, 110w an insurgent chief, who
saved him from certain death.
Capt. Cabalcarri, chief of the gueril-
las, who captured the insurgent leader
Villanueva, left Caimito, this province,
soon after and was seized by the insur-
gents, who m'acheted him and fifteen
others.
Senor Marcos Garcia. Civil Governor
of Santa Clara, reports that 890 recon-
:entrados died in that city during De—
cember last, and over one thousand in
November. He predicts that about the
same number will die during the pres-
ent month from lack of food, clothing
shelter and medicine.
Gen. Pando’s campaign along the
Cauto River was a total failure. Gen.
Molina will probably soon return to
Spain. .,
A Cold Greeting.
The local conservative press com-
ments editorially upon the circum-
stances of the swearing in of the new
Colonial Ministers. The company that
assembled to witness the function was
small and very cold, and there were no
crowds in front of the Palace. as uSual.
The new Cabinet hesitate to remove the
existing office-holders. ‘ who are ac-
quainted with the work of the depart—
ments, and to substitute new officials.
More than this, among the old em-
ployes are many Cubans.
Consul-General Lee called upon Gen.
Blanco with regard to the distribution
of food and relief to the reconcentra-
dos in Santiago de Cuba. At Serrayo,
that province, five persons are sick in
a small hut, without medicine or food.
According to reports from Pinar del
Rio, many reconcentrados there live in
saves for lack of Other shelter, and one
family of three women is living under
a. tree.
The report of the death of the insur-
gent leader Luis Delgado is believed to
be unfounded. It is understood that he
is now in Carmen Hills, this province,
where he was summoned by Gen. Ale-
iandro Rodriguez.

FOR IRELAND’S CAUSE.
John E. Redmond, the Great Lender.
in New York.
New York, Jan. 7.—H011. John E.
Redmond, member of Parliament for
Waterford, the leader of the Parnellite
party, arrived here yesterday on the
White Star Line steamer Teutonic,
and was met at Quarantine by Edward
O’Flaherty, the chairman of the Com-
mittee of Irish Societies that has been
appointed to make the visit of the
noted leader an enjoyable one.
The ship had an unusually rough
trip, but Mr. Redmond, whoris a good
sailor, never missed a meal, and ar-
rived looking a great deal better than.
when he was here last year. He in-
. tends to spend but twelve or fourteen
days this time, during which time he
will deliver lectures, taking for a sub-
iect the historical questions of 1798, a
date famous in Irish history. The first
of these lectures will be given at the
Broadway Theatre next Sunday even-
ing, the second at Boston on Jan. 16,
and a third two days later at New Ha-
Ven.
In additiOn to the lectuies another
object of his visit is to lend zest to
the proposed pilgrimage to Ireland
from this country in July under the
1uspices of the ’98'Centennial Associa-
23011.
nutter-worth Slightly Improved.
Washington, Jan. 7.-—-Repo.rts received
1 Washington yesterday from Hon.
= enjamin Butterworth, Commissioner
Patents, are slightly reassuring. His
iends do not have much hope for his
iltimate recovery.
CIVIL SERVICE DEBATE.
Gen. Grosvenor Attacks the Luxv on
the Floor of the House.
Washington, Jan. 7.——The House yes-
terday resumed the debate on the civil-
service question and Mr. Grosvenor, of
Ohio, took the floor with an elaborate
speech in opposition to the law. In
opening Mr. Grosvenor disclaimed any
leadership of the anti- civil- se1vice re-
form forces and any purpose to speak
for ”any officer of the Government, ex-
ecutive, legislative or judicial.
“All efforts to entangle me in a colli-
sion with the President,’.’ said he,
"wastes so much powder. If I believed
that my relations to the executive
would be changed or modified because
I dier with him in any representative
capacity I would despise him as he
would despise me if I faltered in my
convictions.”
Mr. Grosvenor proceeded to pay his
respects to the National Civil-Service
Reform League and to Carl Schurz, its
president. His excoriation of the latter
was the most scathing tlhat has been
heard on the floor of the House in
months. He denounced unsparingly
those who sought to read out of the
Republican party those who believed in
the repeal of the civil- serVice law. With
vilulent language he sketched the po—
litical career of Mr. Schurz, which he
characterized as the “checkered, spot-
ted, leprous career of one who betrayed
every party and every duty to which he
was bound, and whose betrayals had
been his only stock in trade in the
arena of politics.”
He traced Mr. Schurz’s political his-
tory and defied anyone to point out a
point in the trail which was not taint-
ed‘ with the political corruption. Yet,
he said, he was a man who, with other
“foul political demagogues” at Cincin-
nati, under the name of the National
Civil-Service League, had denounced
him and those who thought with him
on this question. He read the resolu—
tions adopted at the Cincinnati meet-
ing branding him as infamous beyond
description.
“I give the members of the Civil—
Service Commission notice,” said he,
“that we have a. majority on this fioo1,
and you cannot strangle a' majority in
the American Congress.”
He argued that when the St. Louis
platform was adopted the extensions
contained in the Cleveland order of
\Iay, 1896, had not been understood. Tt
was not until November 1896, that the
enormous scope of that o1de1' covering
46,000 officials was publicly declared.
Big Glass Trust Now.
Brighton, N. J., Jan. 7.—An English
syndicate, it is learned, is hard at work
forming a gigantic glass trust, and be-
il'or'e the end- of 1898, may own and oper-
“lte every glass factory east of the Al-
leghenies. Options have been obtained
and the alleged plan is to close all
smaller concerns, while the scope of
larger, more important factories is to
be expanded. One firm alone is said to
have refused absolutely to give the
syndicate‘s agents any option on its
plant. '
Fitz Was Defeated.
Oshkosh, Wis, Jan. 7.—Oshkosh has
1 strong man, August Shane, a Dane
fisherman, over six feet tall, and
weighing over 300, who, while Fitzsim-
mons was here, challenged him to an
arm-twisting contest. Fitz accepted.
The two men clasped hands and braced
their elbows Upon the counter. At every
trial the pugilist’s hand was forced
do. 1n to the counter. Fitz acknowl-
edged his defeat and accepted it good-
naturedly.
Delay for McKenna.
Washington, Jan. 7.—The Senate Ju-
diciary Committee, to which the nom-
ination of Attorney—General McKenna
to'the United States Supreme bench
has been referred, will meet next Mon-
day. The indications are that the Me-
Kenna nomination, on account of the
protests that have been filed, will be
laid aside until the nominations against
which there are no protests have re-
zeived attention. There is little prob-
ability that McKenna. will be rejected.
He Know Them.
In a western town a clergyman was
exhorting his congregation in regard to
their treatment of the new minister,
soon to arrive, and closed up with:
“And above all things, when he get-1
here I want you all to pray for him.
He’ll need it.”—-Lite.

DO IT YOURSELF.
Y 011 can tell just as well as a phy si-
cian Whether 30111' kidneys are dis
eased 01' healthy. The way to do is to
take a bottle or glass tumbler, and fill
it. with urine. If there is a. sediment——
a powderlike substance—at the bottom
after standing 3. day and night, there
is something wrong with the kidneys.
Another sure sign of disease is a desire
to urinate often, and still another sign
is pain in the back. If urine stains
linen, there is no doubt. that the kid-
neys are affected.
Any and all diseases of the kidneys,
liver, bladder and of the urinary pas-
sag es and constipation of the bowel
are cured by Dr. David Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy. ”Theie is no ques-
tion about its being the best and surest
medicine in the w01ld for such trouble.
It quickly releves and cures inability
to hold urine, and people, young or old
who take it are not compelled to get.
up a numbei of times during the night.
For putting 1111 end to that scalding
pain experienced in passing urine.
nothing is so good as Dr. David Ken-
nedy s F.1v011te Remedy. It corrects
the bad effects of VV hiskey and beer; is
pleasant to the tastc.11nd does not
seem to be medicine at all. Diseases
of the kidneys and bladder often re-
quire the use of insuuments to push
back the sandy mattei so the urine can
be avoided. In such cases Favorite
Remedy should be taken VV ithout fur-
ther dcla3 01' the. disease may prove
fatal. It is sold for one dollar a bottle
at all dr 11;: stores s. It is well w 01th
many times its price.
