Have y o u r .' j;mind on us, we’re in the .inood for low selling—lower ‘iethan usual. looking around to see what ' All the time i we can find to give our cus—* ’ tomers pleasure. Wash Silks, for instance. Something like 25 or 30 de- signs that we’re selling now for 250. yd. in stripes, checks, etc. Also just a few of Cheney’s 24-in, p ri n t e d Indies—very desirable ,color- ings, particularly in the lighter shades . Fancy Silks—leading thing for the present are the black and white checks and stripes, the white being a little in excess of the black, thus giv- ing it a more cool and sum.- mery appearance ; different size checks and various width stripes, with colors in liberal variety to please a profusion of tastes. There’s also a line of black Brocaded Indias, 24-in. wide, that have humbled them— selves to be sold at 750. yd, Just received, a new invoice of Black Mohairs—the lower price grades being especially suitable and popular for bath- ing cestumes. We haven’t much of an assortment of Black Crepons -—about enough to help out in fixing over dresses, new skirts perhaps. Although they are high priced goods, in this connection they will be sold very low. Still clearing out everthing in the way of Wool Dress Goods; prices are standing aside to let them go. Every day sees fewer VVrap- pers for us to sell. From $1.25 down to 75 cents, was a drop in price that most merchants don’t care to en- counter. At the same time customers would like to see more of them. Looking back~ ward over a business experi- ence bordering on 40 years .we can recall no buying op- portunities equalling the present. :1— ......- i “7"” _ filfilfllfimllllllELlSJ’lliLIllllllEE .‘lLllS’JliBJUKElfilU M l L.

Insurgent Leader Gomez Has Outgoneraled the Pride of Spain at Every Turn. A Serious Engagement Ad- mitted to Have Occurred. HAVANA, July 24.——Grcat anxiety pre- vails here in all circles, and news from the province of Santiago de Cuba is await- ' ed with great apprehension. Captain Gen- eral Martinez dc Campos, with the troops from Holquin and Tunas, had at his dis- posal on Friday last a force of about 11,- ' 000 men. There is no denying that the situation is very grave. The insurgents have received rc—enforcements from differ- ent parts of the province of Santiago de Cuba, and it is reported that Maximo Gomez has arrived at the front and" taken supreme command of the insurgent forces as general in chief. ' . According to private advices received here, the insurgents have united their forces at Corejo, south of Bayamo and Manzanillo, in the province of Santiago de Cuba, and about midway between those two places, and they are said to have the intention of burning Bayamo. Vogu- ita, Yarn. and Manzanillo, and if the sug— MAXIMO GOMEZ. ar planters refuse to pay contributions to ' . the insurgent army the leaders of the rev- olutionists threaten to burn all the plan- tations in the Manzanillo district, which ' property represents millions of dollars. The insurgent leader Solano has died in the province of Santa Clara of wounds. He was wounded recently in an engage- ment with the Spanish troops. A person who has arrived at Manzanillo from a. place not far from Bayamo says that 0n.Thursday last he heard 40 cannon shots and continuous firing from a large body of infantry. The firing is supposed T to have been from the column commanded by General Suarez Valdez, which is on its way from Bayamo to Holquin, in the prov- ince of Santiago do Cuba, for he is known to have engaged the insurgents on Thurs— day last. Re-enforcemcnts of 3,000 troops : have arrived at Manzanillo, and this body of men, with batteries of artillery from the city of] Santiago de Cuba and 2,000 more troops, left immediately for Bayamo. Gomez Outgenerals De Campos. LONDON, July BL—Thc Times, in addi- tion to its dispatch from Havana outlin- ing'the situation of affairs there, saying that yellow fever and dysentery are caus- ing great mortality among the Spanish troops, announcing that the rebels have cut the railway bridges, thus isolating Puerto Principe, and that Maceo is threatening an attack upon Manzanillo, publishcsa long letter from Havana, dated J une 5, giving a history of the Cuban rc- bcllion, in the course‘of which the writer says: “At every turn Gomez has outgcn- craled Campos. Gomez has raised the re- volt ovcr the whole island, thus forcing Campos to scatter his soldiers over a wide area. If Spain wishes to quell the rebel- lion, she must prepare for a prolonged oc- cupation of the island by a large force.” The correspondent adds that after months of closest study of the movement he is able to state that, “beyond the nar- row circlc of oflicialdom and the group of Spaniards directly benefiting by the com- mercial relations imposed by Spain, I have not heard a single good word in favor of Spanish rule. Almost every Cuban who 'llflS not openly joined the revolt is ready to give Spain a sly kick if he can without danger to himself.” The correspondent then reviews at length how the Cubans have suffered at the decline in prices of sugar and real estate and describes 110w the estates have gradually fallen into the handsof Spanish mortgagoes. He does not think the indo- pcndcncc of Cuba is likely or that it would present a satisfactory solution of the question to a large section of the Cu- bans, and adds, “I regard annexation as only a bare possibility, because the United States shows no inclination in this direc- tlon.” De Campos’ Inglorious Entree. MADRID, July 24,—A dispatch to The Imparcial from Havana says that Captain General Martinez do Campos, after his re. cent engagement with the insurgents, en. tered the town of Bayamo on foot.

CHICAGO, July 24.—The police inspector in charge of the search of the Holmes house here found a. rope with a. running noose. He says he is not yet ready with an opinion as to what use Holmes or any of his associates had for the rope found in the cellar. The theory that the former druggist strangled Minnie Williams and Howard Pitezel with it by hanging them down the elevator shaft the. inspector thinks may be correct, but beyond that he will not commit. himself. More secret rooms and passageways were discovered'in the house. A trapdoor in the floor of one of the upper rooms when opened disclosed steps leading to a secret door entering Holmes’ office. A letter directed to Holmes and marked “personal” was found in a. rubbish pile on the second floor. It was from the mother of Mrs. Connor, expressing anxiety as to the whcreabouts of her daughter. Mrs. Pitezcl had an agent in the house looking for a vault that has not yet been discov— cred. The Tasker Divorce Case.
