MANYINSURGIENTS KILLED Rumored in Havana that Ruiz In E Alive, Ofllciul Reports to the Con- trary, Notwithstanding — Alleged Filibusters—Weyler’s Defense. Havana, Dec. 21.—A Spanish detach- -ment at Guamo, on the Cauto River, north of Manzanillo, Santiago de Cuba, Ewas besieged, according to the official account, from Nov. 8 to 12 last, and lvaliantly repelled the insurgents. on Nov. 27 a fierce attack was; made on ' the fort by a large body of insurgents, with two cannon. More than one hun- dred and fifty cannon shots nearly de- molished the fort and destroyed a fac- tory. Finally the insurgents got inside the Wire. fence around the fort and called on the garrison to surrender. The garrison refused to listen to the demand, and “with heroic pride con- tinued the defense” until Dec. 10 last. The insurgents left twenty-six killed inside the wire fence and a quantity of arms and ammunition, which the garrison used to prolong its desperate defense. Gen, Aldave, while reconnoi- tering in the neighborhood, found the bodies of three other insurgents and many graves. ' During the siege and the attack‘on the fort the insurgents lost, it is officially asserted, 200 killed and Wounded.' The garrison had only six killed and thirty-one wounded. But the fort was completely destroyed, while the garrison was without water, with pestilence all around and only a little pork for food. Gen. Blanco will recom- pense the members of the garrison for their losses. Gen. Pando and the c'olumn under Col. Bruna, assisted by the gunboats Dependiente, Luisa, Centionala and Velazquez, found in the River Cauto three large torpedoes and also many sunken vessels. They destroyed with dynamite a quantity of the effects of the insurgents at Cienaga del Buey and Cayaman. Gen. Aldave, who left Cauto del Em- boscadero about the same time, had an engagement on Dec. 8 at Laguna de Ytabo, losing twenty killed, among them'a doctor and two officers. The, in- surgents were compelled to abandon their trenches and retired with large loss. While reconnoitering the exten- sive zones in that district "Gen, Aldave had one soldier seriously wounded and a captain slightly wounded.~ WATCHENG FOR FlLlBUSTERS. The Montgonlery Guarding Against a. Pensacola Expedition. Pensacola, Fla.., Dec. 21.—Information reached the commander of the United States steamer Montgomery Friday t the effect that several suspected fili- busters were in the harbor. Fires were started and preparations made for get- ting under way at a. moment’s notice. A squad of armed men, in charge of an officer, were placed on board the reve- nue cutter Penrose, and they will be relieved every four hours until further developments. The Montgomery fitted out several boats with guns, ammuni- tion and armed crews to patrol the harbor, while the Penrose did duty out- side, around Warrington. All the boats of the Montgomery have orders to fire8 two blank charges to bring to any sus- pected vessel, and upon her neglecting to do so a loadedshell is to be fired. The Somers N. Smith, a pilot boat; a vessel called the Britannia and a. schooner are loading here under official supervision. The Smith is said to have run several successful expeditions in the past, having escaped the Mont— gomery once. She came in from sea on Thursday night, and is taking on board a cargo. .The Britannia and the schooner are also taking a. cargo of boxes, supposed to be ammunition, etc., on board, and it is reported that the Dauntless is waiting somewhere out— side the bar in order to ship the muni- tions at sea.

Havana, Dec. 21.—The official state- ment as to the execution by the insur- gents of Lieut.-Co‘l«. Joaquin Ruiz, aide- de-camp of Capt-Gen. Blanco, says that he was shot last Friday, by order of the insurgent commander Alejandro Rodriguez, with the approval «If the in- surgent colonel, Nestor Aranguren, whom he went to see, toinduce him to accept- the Spanish scheme for autono- my. The general opinion here is that it was a barbarous act. Weyler-‘s Plan of Campulgn. Madrid, Spain, Dec. 21.—The National gives prominence to a double-leaded editorial, under the captionof “Wey- ler," to the effect that the latter‘s prin- cipal mission in life at the present mo- ment is to defend the army and his command in Cuba against the‘ ‘insults” alleged to have been contained in President McKinley's recent message to Congress, and that he will energeti-~ cally protest to the Minister for War— -Gen. Correa—and to the Queen Regent against these “insults,” at the same time justifying the acts of the army. A Monster )Prairie Canal. Topeka, Kan., announces that he will present a scheme to the Nebraska Irrigation Convention which suggests a seven- teen-hundred-mile canal, from Mon- tana to Texas. The ‘purpose would be to divert the flood of .waters of the Missou1i and Mississippi valleys, im- pound them and let them down when wanted. The canal would tap the Mississippi River at Milk River, in Montana, and empty into Red River, inTexas. The cost would be only $300,000,000. Gettysburg Commander Dead.

" Boston, Dec. 21.—JuStices Putnam and King, the commissioners for the United States and Canada, respective- ly, in the arbitration of the Behring ' Sea claims, have completed their1 work. and, it‘ 15 understood, will soon begin the preparation of their reports to their respective governments. Instead of the . $425, 000 recommended by Mr. Cleveland when President, but rejected by the Senate at the instance mainly of Sena- tor Morgan, the United States will have to pay Great Britain about $1,000,- 000 as indemnity for seizing British ships while sealing in Behring Sea. The commissioners have been held— ing daily sessions here, during which they have gone over the disputed claims step by step, reviewing the evi- dence as in the case of a law court. It is understood that an agreement as to the amount of the indemnity claimed has been reached in all except a few cases, and these are likely to be settled without the appointment of an umpire, which is provided for in the convention authorizing- the commis- sion. The amount awarded to Great Bri- tain will be paid within six months of the time when the final decision is reached, whether it is made by the two commissioners or by an umpire. It is not known exactly what claims have been ruled out, but it is understood that the total approved claims will amount to perhaps more than $1,000,000. This sum will include interest for ten years. FITZ WILL FIGHT NO MORE. Says 'rlui‘t' He Has Retired from the Prize Ring. ' New York, Dec. 21.—The story pub- lished yesterday that Martin Julian had announced that Fitzsimmons would give Corbett another chance caused a good deal of talk in sporting circles, but‘once more the prospects of another meeting have gone glim— mering. The following dispa‘ch ex- plains itself: “Chicago, 111., Dec. 20. “I have permanently left the ring, and would not cross the street to see a fight.1 will hold title of champion until a regulzu battle for championship is fought Then I’ll give the title to the winne1. BOB FITZSIMMONS. ” A similar statement comes from Martin Julian, Fitzsimmons’ manager and brother—in—law. So it again looks as if Corbett is the only man entitled to receive challenges for the honor. He may refuse to accept the belt for a while, hoping .to get on a fight with the Australian after a long wait, but he will have to claim it eventually or retire with his rival. GIRLS WHIP A PARSON. Lashed Him on the Street for Scor- ing a Dance. Webester City, Iowa, Dec. 21.—A dance late Saturday night in Wright County brought down the censure of Rev. N. A.‘ Forrest in his sermon at Walnut Grove Presbyterian Church on Sunday. In his remarks he was very severe on the young women present. The dance had wound up in a row. In the congregation were Misses Lil- lie Barstow and Mary Cunningham. Both were presle'nt at the dance. They left the church, and going to their homes each secured a whip and,~re— turning, met the minister on the street as he was leaving the church and gave him a. severe whipping. He attempted to explain to them, and they would not listen to him. The pastor was prostrated Sunday evening and unable to hold services. The young ladies are daughters of prominent farmers and well thought of in the community. UNITED STATES VS. TEXAS. Dispute Over an Island Seized by the Federal Government. Chicago, Dec. 21.—A special Fort Worth, Te-x., says: “The State of Texas and the United States Government are in conflict over a piece of ground on the east end of Galveston Island, on which is located- the State quarantine station, and which has been taken possession of by the Federal authorities, who intend erecting a torpedo station thereon. The United States claim it under the terms of the Texas annexation treaty, which required the ceding to the Government by the republic of Texas of all lands used for purposes of military defenses, or upon 1 which fortifications were standing.‘ The State will'dispute the claim on the ground that there were no available fortifications in existence on the ground in controversy at the time the treaty was made. from Gormnn Will Not Move to Newj'ork.’ Washington, Dec. 21.—Senator Gor- man’s future, after his retirement from the Senate, is a matter of considerable importance, apparently, to his friends and those who are not his friends. The rumor that he wouldyremove to New York is denounced by the Senator him-. self as a pure fabrication, and he says that none of the plans which have been mapped out for him are with his ap- proval. It is not believed the Sen-atdr will remove from Maryland, but will settle down at his residence in Laurel, Md., after his term expires, taking an interest in Maryland politics, though refraining from. actively interfering with the work of the party organiza- tion. The Senator is as anxious for harmony in the Democratic party in .Maryland as his opponents are, and will do nothing after his term expires to hinder the return of the party to power in his State.

THE KLONDIKE BXPEDIT ION Condensed Food in All Shapes to Be Chlefly Used—Canada. Asked to Suslzeud Duties and Allow Troops to Pass. ‘ Washington, Dec. 21.—Secretary Al— ger has cabled to William A. Kjellman, the chief‘Government reindeer herds- man, now in Alton, Norway, to inform the War Department immediately how soon 600 reindeer can be shipped to this country. These are wanted for use as draft animals, in getting supplies to the miners in thenKIondike 1egion. It is expected “that they must be trans- ferred at New York to the railroads, and in that.manne~r carried across the continent, and again by sea from the Pacific coast up to Dyea, or such other point as may be selected as the base of operations by the relief expeditions. Secretary Alger has determined, af- ter advising with the medical officers’ of the War Department and persons tic regions, to make large use of con- densed food preparations. Not only will the meats taken be in the most concentrated form, but particular ef- forts are making to secure condensed preparations of vegetables, such as po- tatoes and onions.

Alger has begun an inquiry to ascertain the amount of such stores available for purchase by the Govern- ment and the prices demanded for The State Department has already asked the British Government to re— quest of the Canadian Government per- mission to pass these stores through Canadian territory free of duty. It is not anticipated that any objection will be made to the request, nor to the ac- companying request that will be made' for permission for our soldiers to pass over Canadian territory as guards for the expedition, although an order of the Privy Council will be required for the suspension of duties. CANADA’S CUSTOM DUTIES. Her Conunissioncr Reeites Regula- tions for Yukon Goods. Washington, Dec. 21.—A response has been received to a recent letter from Secretary Gage to the Canadian Com— missioner of Customs, requesting in- formation as to' the bonding of miners’ outfits through Canadian. territory, en route from Juneau, Alaska, by way of the Chilkoot Pass and the Yukon River to Circle City, Alaska. The Commis- sioner says that the following regula- tions have been prepared to meet the case: “Imported goods, as above described, shall be reported to the Canadian Cus- tom House, Lake Tagis, and may be entered for exportation there, on the usual form ‘in transit' in duplicate. The goods may then be delivered without payment of duty, to be carried to their destination out of Canada by any transportation company which has duly executed a bond in the form pre- scribed by the Minister of Customs, for the due'and faithful delivery of all packages carried by such company, the customs laws and regulations gov- erning such traffic. “A duplicate of the entry in—transitu, duly signed and marked with the proper customs stamp, shall accom- pany each shipment of goods conveyed by a bonded carrier, so that the same may be returned to the Customs House at Fort Cudahy, with a certificate thereon, .as to the lading of the goods in the United States, or of their hav- ing passed- outwards from Canada within six months from date of entry. “If the goods, when entered in—tran- situ for exportation, are not delivered to be forwarded by a. bonded carrier, as provided in the last preceding sec- tion, the duty thereon is to be depos- ited with the customs officer at Lake Tagish, subject to a refund of the same at the port of Fort Cudahy, when the goods pass outward thereat, or upon the certificate of an officer of the Unit- ed States, or of the Canadian customs. that the said goods have been landed in the United States within six months from the date of the in-transitu entry. “The duty deposited in such case is to be indorsed' on the entry and certi— fied to by the customs officer in charge. and the duplicate of the entry duly cer- stamp, is to be delivered to the person making the deposit of duty. “A report of each entry in-transitu shall be forwarded by mail without de-' lay. by the customs officer at Fort Cudahy, for the collection of duties on the goods entered in-transitu and not duly exported. The articles usually classed as travelers’ baggage are to be passed free. without entry.” ‘ Commissioner McDougall, in a letter accompanying these regulations, says that they are framed" with the desire to afford the utmost facilities for the traffic in question compatible with se- curity to therevenue. He further says:_' “Responsible transportation compan- ies will doubtless be soon in operation for the conveyance of goods over the Chilkoot and other passes down the Yukon River and its tributaries. in v.hich case United States goods may go forward in bond to Alaska without payment of duty.” 3 - Buying Wheat for Arnlour.

ANTI-FLERTENG BlLL. To Begtruin the Enthusiasm Amorous Medical Students. Richmond, Va. ., Dec._ 21. —Senator McCune,. of Shenandoah, is trying to do by legislation what all the vigilance of principals and teachers in Virginia has utterly failed to a'ccdmplish—that is, prevent college students from flirt- ing with the girls in the female col- leges. The Woman’s College, of this city, of of which Dr. Nelson is principal, is sup- posed to be the prime mover in the measure. The college is flanked on either side by medical colleges, and, though the girls’ grounds for exercise are surrounded by brick walls it has been no bar to flirtation, and bold stu- dents constantly found ways and means of ' communicating 'with ‘the . girls. McCune’s bill provides, among other things,‘ that it shall, be: unlawful to in- terfere with or in any way disturb or disquiet the pupils of any school or college or female institute or the prin- cipals or teachers in charge of them while in any public road or street or the school premises, nor shall any com- munication be had for such purpose, either orally, by signs, or in writing. It also provides that it shall be unlaw- ful for any person to enter the prem- ises of such school or college, except on business, without first having ob- 'tained the permission of the principal. Every person convicted of such of- fense shall be fined not less than $5 nor more than $50, and upon every sub-.- sequent offense shall pay a fine of not less than $10 nor more than $50, and be imprisoned not less than ten nor more than thirty days, in the discretion of the court. The bill also makes it an offense for any person to ’loiter about such insti- tutions or the roads or streets near by for the purpose of annoying the pupils or teachers as they pads. NEW SECT IN AMERICA. Polish Catholics Start What They Call the “American Reformation.” Chicago, Dec. 21.—Polish Catholic se- ceders from the Roman Church, who have organized the independent “Pol- ish Catholic Church of America," with three parishes located in Chicago. re- ceived Bishop Anthony Kozlowsky. leader of the revolt, as the spiritual head of the church in America with impressive ceremonies. The new prelate has just returned. from Europe, where he went by ap- pointment of his people to receive ordi- nation as a bishop. He could 'not se- cure recognition from the Holy See, and was consecrated by a bishop of the Catholic Christian Church of Switzer~ land. By this act a new sect is formally established in America which occupies 'the anomalous position of recognizing the Roman Pontiff as primate of the Occident, as subscribing to the Roman Catholic faith as based on the founda— tion of the Apostles, the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, the tra- ditions of the fathers, the Athanasian creed and the Council of Trent. WARNING IS SOUNDED. . I Disaster ‘Will Follow in the “’akc of Currency Legislation. Washington, Dec. 21.—In an open let— ter Senator Chandler advises the Ad— ministration to put a stop to the at- tempt to meddle with the country's finances, as proposed by Secretary Gage and his allies of the Gold-Stan- dard League. . If they will cease their demand for impossible currency legislation, the Senator says, Congress will pass the necessary appropriation bills and prob- ably take care of Hawaii and Cuba; business will revive, and the Republi- can party will, in November, 1898, elect a majority of the House in the Fifty- sixth Congress. On the other hand, if Secretary Gage continues to press his bill Congress will be plunged into an uproar, and Democratic victories will follow in 1898 and 1900. ..h..r_ Irish Leader Is Coming. New York, Dec. 21. ——A cablegram has , been received in this city from John E. Redmond, M.

The invitation was sent to Mr. Redmond by a number of men promi— nent in Irish national circles, who de- sire to have this subject properly pre- sented to the American public, with a view .to stimulating interest in the cen- tennial celebration in Ireland next year and awakening enthusiasm in the pilgrimage to the battlefields of ’98, which is to be given next July under the auspices of the '98 Centennial As- sociation. ' Steamer Not for Coon. New York, Dec. 21.—The story that the City of Columbia. of the Columbian line, had sailed last Thursday on a filibustering mission to Cuba, instead of to the Klondike, its announced des- tination, was vigorously denied by E. C. Machen, the vice-president and manager of the line. “Such a report is an outrage,” said “When we fitted out the steamer for the Klondike we adver- tised in the papers and invited persons to come and look her over. They came by the thousand and 535 of them hired berths. Does this look like filibuster- ing?" , Gus Jonsolidntlon‘ in Pittsburg.

If the prin- cipals stay angry they may meet to- 'day. The challenge was given by ‘30]. Orth H. Stein, the editor whose paper a few days ago attacked the local judi- ciary. It was acCepted by Maijar- vey Johnson, who has just returned after eight years’ service as Consul- General of the United States to Bel- gium. ‘Maj. General James F. O’Neil in the pro— ceedings growing out of O’Neil’s assault 3 _ upon Stein in a hotel lobby last Sat- urday. It was said that six well- known State officials had been raided in a poker game and that Stein’s article was a se- vere criticism of the action of the local court in dealing with the prisoners. O’Neil had met Stein and slapped his face in public. Stein .said that he was prepared to prove every word of his newspaper statement, and then Johnson, speaking as attorney in behalf of his client. made the declaration that Stein was a Johnson represented 'Solicitor- . murderer and that his photograph ap- . peared in the “Rogues’ Gallery.” He accused him of having a price upon his head, and was about to continue, when Stein,,pale with anger, ordered him to halt. There was tremendous confu- sion, but Johnson raised his voice and, made a most dramatic denouncement tof his journalistic opponent. Stein took the situation calmly and said: “Name your time and place.” Johnson replied that the present (time and that the street in front of the Courthouse would do. The two men pushed their way through ‘the crowd, Stein, with a revolver in his hand. but Johnson turned abruptly and an— nounced that he was unarmed. Stein aimed at him and then lowered his pis- tol, by which time the court officers had grasped them both. Stein turned to Johnson and called him a coward and a Man Judge Calhoun imposed a heavy fine upon Solicitor-General O’Neil and dis~ charged Stein. Representatives of all three men were in session last night, and there is meet as soon as preliminaries are ar- ranged. The mu1der charged against Stein grows out of his having killed a man in Kansas City some years ago for criticising his newspaper articles. CHARLES DANlE DEAD.

Altoona, Pa, Dec. 21.—A freight train of thirty-one loaded cars, traveling down the mountain to this city last night, became unmanageable in cOnse- quence of the slippery condition of the tracks, made the twelifie miles from Gallitzin to Altoona in as many min- utes, and crashed into a freight train in the yarI e_, directly in front of the passenger station. 1.. r.-.
