SPAIN LOWE CUBA. A Crisis at Hand In the Great. Sting. gle For Independence. ' HBMMING IN THE’ROYALISTS Insurgent Forces Advancing From All Sides In Greatly lie-enforced, Num- bers—The Government Officials Are filmed and Talk of Home Rule. HAVANA, Nov. 11.—It is now admitted, even in official circles, that the insurgents have recently made such progress in the different provinces they are operating in and that they have received such a quan- tity of arms, ammunition and dynamite that afi‘airs may be said to be reaching a crisis. There is no doubt that the headquarters of Captain General Martinez (is Campos, the city of Santa Clara, capital of the province of that name, is being slowly but surely invested by the insurgent forces. They are advancing from all sides, but mainly from the province of Puerto Prin- cipe. General: Maximo Gomez, the in- surgent commander in chief, has crossed the borders with a considerable body of men smile now at this writing encamped near Siguanea. south of the important town of Sancti Spiritus, which is occupied by a considerable body of- Spanish troops and which is one of the points where the captain general recently established a heliograph station in order to try and keep up communication betWeen the cities of Santa Clara and Puerto Principe. But the route is now occupied by the insur- gents, and the very- roads recently trav- ersed by the captain general. when he so narrowly escaped death or capture—a bul- let passing through his saddlebag and eight bullets going through his long mil- itary cloak—are now in possession of the insurgents, and it will be very difficult, if not impossible, for the Spanish commander to maintain communication with Puerto Principe. In addition the Roloff and Cespedes expeditions, well armed and equipped, have joined forces and are preparing to enter into active co-operation with Maximo Gomez in Santa Clara. Then, again, the insurgent commander Serafin Sanchez is in strong force en- camped at Abreus, near Cienfueges, the most important port of the- province of Santa Clara and one of the most important cities of the island of Cuba. He is openly recruiting his followers and has just burned all the houses of .Labarinto, Esta- dos, Unidos and Heseras, valuable farms and the property of the Apezteguia. Insurgents Have Money. Rolofl and Cespedes are making things very lively for, the captain general in the province of Santa Clara, where most of the insurgent activity is now being dis— played. They are driving the farmers away from the towns under penalty of being shot, and the latter cannot be in- duced to return, even under the promises of land and protection held out to them by Martinez de Campos. In the direction of Remedios and Sagua la Grande the in- surgents are also active, and it will thus be seen that they are moving from four different points upon the city of Santa Clara, which is garrisoned by some of the best troops of Spain and the most reliable vOlunteers. All the insurgent leaders, including Maximo Gomez, are sending messengers and circulars to the big farmers and plant- ers ordering them to contribute to the treasury of the Cuban republic under pen- alty of having their property destroyed by fire. The result is that the insurgents are really better provided with funds than are the Spanish government Officials here. The money thus obtained from the govern— ment’s friends, the planters and big farm- erslis in, time forwarded to New York or other American ports, where it is used for the purchase of arms and ammunition and the equipping of additional expeditions. The Spanish government is well aware of this fact and has done everything pos- sible to prevent the insurgents from rais- ing funds as'well as trying to capture the messengers which they send to the United States and elsewhere. But in spite of the Spanish blockade of the coast the insur- gent expeditions find little or no difficulty in landing, and they have hitherto suc- ceeded in maintaining an uninterrupted line of communication with their friends in the United States. Alarming For Spain. The rebellion is also gaining ground in the province of Matanzas, a‘though not so much is known of the operations of the insurgents in that part of the country, the present indicltions being that they are concentrating their efforts upon Santa Clara, although nobody would be sur- prised to hear of a sudden and combined attack upon several towns in the province of Santiago de Cuba, from which place very little news has been forthcoming for some time past. This state of affairs is all the more alarming to the government officials, as it is well known that the in surgents have quite a large army in San— tiago de Cuba, their numbers there being estimated to be as high as 5,000 or 6,000. In view of this decidedly alarming con- dition of afl'airs Generals Suarez Valdes and Prats have been ordered to concen- trate their forces and to attack the insur- gents at all hazards. As the weather is now getting better for military operations it can safely be said that within a week several hot engagements will have been fought, and possibly the fate of the insur— rection will have been decided. The rumor reaches here today that a strong force of insurgents has invaded the province of Matanzas from the province _ of Santa Clara, with the intention of join- ing issue with the Cubans already in arms in Matanzas for a series -of operations against the cities of Colon, Cardenas and the capital—Matanzas—itself. If this is true, there must be quite a number of in- surgents between Santa Clara and Ha- vana, should a retreat be necessary from the former place, which is not anticipated , by the government ofi’icers. In face of all this preparation for blood- shed it is satisfactory to know that the captain general. is in favor of Agantingl some form or home rule to‘ Cfiba‘, and hopes are expressed that his advice will be taken before it is too late. He is known to have made. strong representations of this subject to the Spanish government, but he is strongly opposed by the wealthy and most influential classes on the island. The Count Gave No Dinner. NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Count Bela Zichy, who is to marry Mabel ,C. Wright, former- ly Mrs. Fernando anaga. was to have given a farewell bachelor dinner last night. at the Waldorf. The dinner was not given, however. At the hotel it was said there had been no arrangements for such a dinner. Count Zichy could not be seen. DUNRAVEN’S CRY 0F FRAUD. His Sensational Charges of Dishonesty Against the American Cup Committee. LONDON, N ov. llx—Lord Dunraven’s sensational charge that dishonest methods were used in measuringvnd ballasting the Defender in the recent races for the Amer- ica’s cup has greatly exercised sporting circles here. The Pall Mall Gazette, re- ferring to Lord Dunraven’s statement, says: “Lord Dunraven’s allegation that the cup committee knew of his charge .that there had been foul play in the measure- ment of the Defender and made no at‘ tempt to verify it is a most serious accusa- tion. If the committee had investigated and found that Lord Dunraven was wrong, they could have declined to race with him again with perfect propriety, not to say that they could have horsewhipped him yvith equal propriety. But they did not take any action in the matter. If the Defender’s ballast was doctored, it must be certain that a number of persons knew it. “If there is ever to be any more inter- national yacht racing, the New York Yacht club must convince the world bed yond suspicion of carelessness or partiality that Lord Dunraven’s accusations of foul play are not founded.” The Globe says that it trusts the Amer- icans will never again defend the cup against an English sportsman “until they more fully appreciate the ethics of sport.” Lord Dunraven’s statement is regarded by the British press as being a complete vindication of Lord Dunraven and as an unanswerable indictment of the Ameri- cans. SATOLLI’S SUGGESSOR. Pope Leo Appoints Mgr. Laurenzelli by Advice of Cardinal Gibbons. NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—The Herald says that a cablegram has been received here bya high authority to the effect that Pope Leo has determined upon a successor to Mgr. Satolli, papal representative in the United States, in the person of Mgr. Lau- renzelli, at present internuncio at The Hague, and he will proceed to this coun'. try at an early date in order to be here be fore Mgr. Satolli takes his departure. There was considerable surprise usited in the archiepiscopal palace in Madison, avenue when the contents of the cable- gram became known, for of all the possi- -ble candidates named as a successor to Mgr. Satolli, Mgr. Laurcnzelli was not among them. ‘ However, as Mgr. Laurenzelli is known as a broad minded man, one who will fol- low in the footsteps of his predecessor, it is felt that the selection is a peculiarly fitting one. It is the general understand- ing that the appointment is, in ameasure, due to the advice of Cardinal Gibbons, who is in favor of a broad and generous policy on the part of the papal representa- tive in the United States. Cardinal Gibbons went to school with Mgr. Satolli and was much associated with him in Rome, and as the cardinal has been a witness of the success of Mgr. Satolli in this country he thinks it for the best interests of the church here that it be continued. State Taxes Held Up. . NASHVILLE, Nov. 11.——The difference existing between the state board of. tax equalizers and the board of railroad tax assessors concerning the valuation of the tax assessments on railroads, which has not been approved by the equalizers, has created an ugly situation, and it is claimed will prevent the collection of any taxes until after Jan. 1, 1896. The attorney general has been asked for an opinion, and until it is rendered the situation will remain muddled. ' The Detroit Disaster.

Court Physicians Say’There Is No Hope of Saving Her Life. HEB. ORDEAL WAS T00 GREAT. The Cwsarian} Operation Was Imperative and \Vas Performed, but the Prin- cess Was .Too Frail For Heroic Treat- ' ment—The Czar Knew Her Peril. LONDON, Nov. 11.-The news that comes from St. Petersburg through channels that entitle it to full belief gives a sad and startling turn to the recent pleasant gossip about the coming birth of an heir to the imperial crown of Russia. The physicians of the palace, who have been in consultation with gynecological specialists, advised the czar that in the natural course of events neither the moth- or nor the child could survive. The frightfully grave operation of Ca:- sarian section was therefore performed. The men of science are now no longer THE czanma. able to conceal from the imperial husband the imminent danger of the czarina. It is understood in official circles that her recovery is considered impossible—that there is no hope whatever. A letter from StzPetersburg dated, Oct. 15, announccd’that‘the Ozarina was in se- clusion at Tarskoe Solo and would remain there until the birth of her child. The Czarina. The czarina—Alexandra (Fredorogna at her betrothal to Nicholas of Russia, Oct. 21-Nov. 2, 1894—was born at Darmstadt, Princess Alix Victoria Helen Louise Beatrice of Hesse-bel-Rhein, .Tune 6, 1872. The reigning Grand Duke of Hesse, Ernest Louis Karl Albert Wilhelm, born ' 'at Darmstadt in 1868, is her brother. Their parents were Louis IV and Alice, princess of Great Britain and Ireland. Both are dead. . Princess Alice was the most beloved of the daughters of Queen Victoria. Princess Alix had her firmness of character. She met Nicholas at the wedding of her sister Elizabeth to the Grand Duke Serge in 1884. Princess Alix was 12 years old and Nicholas 16. The children fell in love, but the czar and the anti-German faction at the court were opposed to an alliance which threatened the intruding of Ger— man influence into Russian diplomacy, and the czarowitz’s affectiouwas diverted for some years. She “’35 Very Frail. Princess Alix made a visit to the Rus- sian court with her father when she was 18 years old. The czarowitz renewed his wooing, but Princess Alix was then zeal- ously attentive to her duties as a Luther- an, and the national exaction that she should become a member of the orthodox church at her betrothal to the czarowitz alarmed her. She would not listen to the czarowitz. He saw the world with the eyes of his father. He had the latter’s contempt for other nations. But when he went to Coburg he said to his parents, so the court chronicler says, “I am deter- mined at last to have an answer from her own mouth.” Princess Alix learned of this resolution from her brother-in-law. “Do you not love him?” he asked. She said, “Yes.” . ' The death of the czar hastened the mar- riage which skeptics said could never oc- cur becauso the court was opposed to it, because Princess Alix would not abjure her faith and because a Russian crown was not a tempting promise to a German princess. Then Princess Alix was in del- icate health. She often went into seclu- sion under the care of physicians who were experts in nervous troubles, and ,. there were rumors that the dread nihilists affected her intensely. She Made Only Friends. At Livadia she was” regarded as highly deserving of the name of “Sunshine” that had been given to her as a prettily descrip— tive epithet when she was a child. Prin- cess Alix was amiable, sensitive, impuls- ive, graceful and made only friends. Princess Alix, renamed Alexandra Feo- dorovna, in accordance with the Russian law, was married to Czar Nicholas II Nov. 26, 1894. Gossip has made little of PrinCess Alix’s life since her marriage. In political circles it was rumored for a time that the czar was under German influence, the kaiser having always had authority over Princess Alix. Later it was rumored that the czar was under the influence of England through friendship for the Duke of York, whom he resembles, and that this influence was not agreeable to Prin- cess Alix. But the most plausible of all the rumors that connected the czarina’s name with affairs of state was the one provoked by M. de Blowitz’s interview with, Count Lobano'fl‘, printed in the Lon- don Times. Count Lobanofi said that the czar was too gravely preoccupied by his wife’s condition and too apprehensive about the birth of an heir, expected in a month, to. think of a war. —Advertise in the Gamm.‘ , ; T5 of the world.
