At 8 o’clock yesterday morning the thermometer was 14 below. The tempera- ture then moderated somewhat, but at no time during the day did the mercury rise above 3 below. Shortly after sunset the temperature began dropping rapidly. The - weather bureau promises no relief for four or five days. The blizzard continued until today. There was no serious delay to street car traffic, and the thoroughfares were kept open by hundreds of men, who were at work all night. All trains were late, but the delays were not serious. Chief of Police Badenoch is- sued an order last night which will facili‘ tate the furnishing of relief to such as are in danger from the want Of food or fuel. Colder “feather Coming. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—Advices received by the weather bureau indicate that the full force of the cold wave will not be felt in the middle and south Atlantic states until tomorrow, when the lowest temper. — tures of the season undoubtedly will be reached. The reports received show that the entire country from the Rocky moun- tains to the Atlantic coast has felt or will feel severely the effects ‘of the cold snap, which is technically explained to be due to an exceedingly high barometer from the cold breeding regions of the Canadian northwest provinces pushing south and eastward and displacing a low barometei in those sections. Local snows are quite generally reported from Texas and from the Mississippi valley regions. In this city the thermometer last night went to 9 de- grees above zero and is expected to fall considerably lower. The sun was out, and the air is clear and crisp. It is too early to predict how much damage will be done in Florida and the south Atlantic states by the cold snap, as the wave will not strike that section severely until tomorrow. The weather bureau expects that low tempera- tures will be generally throughout the sec- tion east Of the Rockies most if not all of this week. Cold Closes Factories. VVAPAKONETA, 0., ,Jan. 26.—The cold wave brought the thermometer down 20 degrees below zero. All the factories have closed on account of the severe cold.

I desire to have my protective system inaugurated immediately aftei my inauguration, and I want a measure passed that will innue- diately stimulate business and give idle men work.’ “He spoke to me relative to other mat- ters. He said as soon as I began to talk with him that two prominent Pennsyl- vanians had just left him afte1 urging the appointment of Governor Hastings to a cabinet position.

Another Report That General Macao Is Still -Alive. KEY \\ EST Fla. ., Jan. 26. —Latest re- ports from Cuba indicate another serious defeat for the Spanish at Pelanos. This town of about 1, 000 inhabitants, in the southern part of Havana province, is well fortified and has a Spanish garrison of about 600, with one fieldpiece.. z=Lieutenant Colonel Hernandez, with 500 Cuban cav— alry,m made a dash at the tovvn, while the . troops were at the church celebiating a local holiday, and took possession of the blockhouse. The cannon was trained at the church, and solid shot came hurling through its walls, while cries of “Cuba libre. ' ” filled the air. The Spaniards rushed out only to fall before a deadly volley. Colonel Muncio, the Spanish officer, rallied his men, but as they formed for a charge he'fell. The second in command took his place, but he too, fell in afew seconds be- fore thc sliamshooters of Hernandez. The Spanish made one more attempt to charge the blockhouse, but the cavalry swept through then ranks, cutting a path with then 111a(hetes, turned and again came through the crowded ranks of the Spanish, who fought bravely, but were routed, though a portion stubbornly pro- tected their rear until forced to retire by Hernandez’s fierce charges. After pursu- ing nearly to Cajaio the Cubans withdrew. They burned the fort at Pelanos and se- cured 1,400 stand of arms, a cannon, $1,000 in gold and $5,000 paper money, besides ammunition and valuable papers belonging to the Spanish commissary de— partmcnt. Havana officials knew of the defeat, but have kept it suppressed, and the palace officials say that the place has been evacu- ated. Governor Perrura has ordered over 100 bankers and gamblers of Havana province to leave inside of 24 hours under the pen alty of being imprisoned if they do not do so. Ana Sotolongo, who is believed to be an accomplice of the dynamiteis who weI e arrested in San Hafael street some time ago, has escaped from the prison in the Penalaer ward of this city. Several wounded insurgents belonging to the band'of the Cuban leader Urra have been arrested. "Official” \Var News. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—The almost complete pacification of Havana and Man— tanzas provinces in the western part of the island of Cuba is announced in the follow- ing dispatch received at the Spanish lega— tion here late last evening from the Span- .ish minister of foreign affairs: “Wej ler at the head of 14 battalions has repeatedly tiaveI sed the provinces of Ha~ vana and Matanzas, Obliging the princi- pal chel leaders to fly to Las Villas. ch- 1er considers that now in Havana and Mantanzas theIO Iemain no nucleus of rebels or organized bands to disperse, and that both provinces may be considered as almost completely pacified. The sugar growers in these provinces are ’now grind- ing cane without molestation.’ The officials of the legation ’Qegard the achievements of General Weyler and the announcements of the foreign affairs of- fice as of g1 cat importance. The center part of the island, they say, has been in a state of pacific: Ition, and now that the westei 11 pait has been 111 ought to a similui state, the rebels, it is stated, are confined in their movements to some of the eastern provinces. - Following close on this announcement it is expected Premier Canovas will pro- 111ulgato the reforms for Cuba voted by the cortes in 18:15, but withheld until the island shall have been regarded as pacified to a degree warranting their application.
