CAMPOs CONFIDENT.

The captain general was accorded an
enthusiastic reception on his arrival
by the city authorities and a committee
representing all the political parties.
So far as can be learned he expresses
unabated confidence in the success Of
the Spaniards, and believes that the
hour of the destruction of the fnsurgent
forces is at hand. He brings news
that a battalion from the city of Sane
ii Spiritus, in the province of Santa
Clara, has arrived at Union de Reyes,
about fifteen miles south Of the city
of MatanZas, and a battalion of Hol-
gun, in the province of Santiago de
Cuba, is on it's way to Guanabana.
The Spanish army, for whom these re-
Inducements are coming forward, are
in advantageous position about Mat
anzas. Nothing is said of the presence
of the insurgent forces west of Mat
anzas, between that point and Havana.
1t is not thought probable that it is the
intention of he insurgents to engage in
a pitched battle, and much anxiety is
felt to know whether they have actual
ly initiated a retreat or whether the
elusive strategies they have hitherto
employed will serve to open way for
them in either direction they choose
to CO. There was a public meeting
here Friday evening as a demonstra-
ton of sympathy for Gen. Campos.

o'clock from Granabana, near Matan-
zas, where he slept last night, making
the seventh change of his headquarters
in two weeks, or since the unchecked
progress of the insurgents through
Santa Clara and Matanzas provinces
commenced, and always to the west
ward, or nearer Havana. This fact in
itself is regarded as highly significant
of the critical situation of Havana and
as a REIMBURSEMENT of any hope on
the part of the Spanish commander of
the bringing of the insurgents to
standstill outside of Jerico or any place
between Matanzas and Havana. The
arrival here of the captain-general
makes it evident that the base Of
operations against the insurgents must
now be Havana itself.
HIS PROGRAMME.
If it Is true that Gen. Campos has de-
liberately permitted the advance of the
insurgents into the open and populated
country where they now are, with the
purpose of closing in behind them
while he attacks them from Havana,
his arrival here shows that the hour
for his coup has arrived. How much
of an available force the Spaniards
have left in the rear of the insurgents
to execute such a blow is not accurate
Iy known, but the official reports them
selves indicate that it is in badly
disorganiZed condition, that 1t has SUI
fered serious losses from the insur-
gents, and that the country through
which they have come is almost a BAR
rem waste, with no means of communl-
cation in any direction, and in bad
condition for military operations. A
combined attack on Havana by the in
surgents would necessarily be in the
nature of a pitched battle-a very diff
ferent matter from the Skirmishes and
feints by small forces which have been
adopted thus far to lead away the
Spaniards-While the main column
eludes them and advances out of their
reach.
On his arrival here this evening Gen.
CampoS made known his belief that
Gen. Gomez has designed his move
ments, which have thus far proved so
signally successful, merely as a raid
into the heart of his enemy's country
as near to Havana as it was possible
for him to go, intending then to fight
his way back. Gen. Campos believes
the whole aim of the incursion was the
destruction of property, and he asserts
that the rebels have already initiated q
retreat. He states that he has for
seen this purpose and has taken eff
fective measures to prevent their re-
turn to Santa Clara. They will be COM
PEELED to fight at Matanzas, he says,
or surrender. He does not believe they
can attempt a retreat without deStruc-

WILL JOIN THE UST.
Runrored Intentio,, of the Lorillard To-
bdcco Company.


NEW YORK, N. Y, July 10.-The Her
aid says: There is every indication that
the American Tobacco Company has about
completed what is perhaps the most i'm
portant combination in it's history, and by
accomplishing it has become one of the
strongest trusts in the country. The great
manufacturing house of 2. Lorillard &
Co., it is declared, is about to join the
trust, merging with it business which has
been famous for more than a century.
The trust is so confident that the combi-
nation has been effected that tobacco job
bers in this city, Chicago, Cincinnati,
Denver, New Orleans and San Francisco
have been notified privately that within
thirty days the Lorillard brands will be
supplied by the American Tobacco Com
pany, otherwise the trust, to their eus-
toners.
The representatives of both companies
refuse to talk about the rumors. A meet
ing of the directors of the American To-
bacco Company will, it is said, be held this
month and an announcement made to the
directors and stockholders of the control
of the Lorillard Company.

and children were plunged into the hole
and upon one another. The cries, shrieks
and groans were deafening and the direst
confusion reigned.

Spaniards Again Routed In a Battle
on the Scene of Marti's
Assassination.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 10.-Advices
received yesterday at revolutionary head
quarters at Santiago de Cuba stated that
rewards have been offered by the Spanish
Government for the capture of Gomez and
Maceo alive or dead.
When Jose Maceo arrived at Liboney,
about nine miles from Santiago de Cuba,
recently, he was received with demonstra-
tions of Joy by the people and a banquet of
fifty covers was given in his honor. When
the Spanish heard of Maceo's presence
1000 men were dispatched with orders to
capture him dead or alive. Maceo was
warned and sent word to Brigadier-
General Perez to hurry up with re-
endorsements. The general promptly
responded, and when the Spaniards
arrived they found themselves confronted
by the com bined forces.
detachment of 700 of the Spaniards
found themselves between crosstire, and
the whole force retreated after making a
stand for twenty minutes.
Another encounter has taken place near
Dos Rios, in San Louis. The insurgents,
VINO were headed by Quintano Bandore,
fought savagely, being animated by re-
venge, as they were near the place where
martI was assasslnated. The Spaniards
were routed after short engagement

October, in order to take part in the de-
cisive operations intended to crush the re-
bellion.
In consequence of the arrest and impris-
onment of Senior Coronado, editor OF La
Discussion, the editors of the newspapers in
Havana have petltioned the authorities to

Over One-Flfth of the Cash Premi-

the Team.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 10.-Three
first prizes aggregating $500 in cash; the
magnificent silver cup, presented by
thirty-six inches high and valued at $1,000 !;
the Rochester Brewing Company's hand
some "Rienzi" silver cup, value $500; the
three Few York Times silver record
wreaths, value $225, were taken from the
hands of President Weber by the Califor-
nian delegation at the distribution of prizes
to-day, at the close of the first National
Sharpshooters' tournament. This does
not include the smaller cash prizes, honor
prizes or the cups and medals taken dur
ing the shooting.
George Helm took the lions share of the
cash from all competitors, totaling $633,
and two record wreaths, and the cheering
was loud and prolonged each time this
genial big fellow pushed his way through
the crowd to get his prizes.s
Of course Schuster's second choice for
the Columbia prize was the most valuable
of any of the donated prizes, excepting
Vorbach's choice, the Rupert silver
service, the cash value of which is the same
as the Ehret cup, chosen by Schuster viz {:
$1,000. This cup is most magnificent
piece of workmanship, standing thirty-six
inches high on an ebony pedestal, and
beautifully engraved with the rifeman' s
paraphernalia. D. B. Faktor had sixth
choice on Columbia, and took the ''Rienzi"
cup. Pape had twenty-third place and
chose a set of silver cups, presented by the
Elite Schuetzen corps of Brooklyn, and
valued at $3.50. Strecker had thirty-third
place, George Helm forty-eighth, G. Alpers
ninety-fourth. E. Blodau one hundred
and fourteenth, and Louis Bendel one
hundred and forty-ffth, and each got a
fairly good prize, though. of course, the
valuable ones had been pretty well thinned
out by earlier choices.
George Helm took the first prize of $500
on the Germania, his bullet being almost
dead center, measuring just 511z-400 of an
inch to the right. He also netted $500 more
as first prize on the ring target and smaller
prizes on other targets, making the total
$633, and no man at the tournament was
more heartily congratulated on all sides.
Strecker took fourth prize of $40 on the
ring: Bendel, seventeenth; Schuster, eigh-

WILL TEST THEIR SPEED.
Defender and Vigilant to Con-
test for Supremacy
To-Day.
The Ex-Cup Defender Shows Up
Well In the Trial Run With
Its New Sails.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., July 1O.-That
| looked for contest between the Defender
and the Vlgilant will take place to-mor-
row. Both boats will start from Bristol at
| 10 o'clock A. NJ, and if the weather permits
will go outside of Newport. The designer
| and Captain Haff have both given out this
| information. The Colonia will not go, but
the entire crew will be transferred to the
Defender.
The Vigilant is in tip-top shape, and if
the Defender shows her heels to the ex-cup
defender in the manner her designer fig
ured for her to do, then everybody will be
happy. The Vigilant made pretty sight
in the harbor to-day while under sail. The
new suit of sails that were made by Hath
away were all finished early in the morn
ing and at II O clock were taken out to the
yacht. The old suit had been unbent and
the work of bending the new sails began at
once. AT / 80 o'clock they were all ready
for use. The big mainsail was hoisted at
o'clock and then the topsail was set.
The breaking out of the anchor was only
the work of few minutes.
The Vigilant was taken out by Mr..
Willard in order to try the new sails
preparatory to the trial tomorrow. Her
trip extended only as far as the Sandy
hIhOOoC'
A large number OF people were standing
along the shores in the south part of the
town watching her progress as she glided
through the water. In less than quarter
of an hour she had cleared Pappoose
Squaw Point, and, with the light wind
| over the taffrail. was heading south.
The new sails are like those of the De-
| fender, with the cloths running from luff
| to leech. There are four battens in the
leech of the mainsail, four in the leech of
the iib and three each in the forestaysail
| and iibtopsail. The cloths of the jib run
| up and down above the clew, while below
| the cloths are diagonal. The topsail seems
to be trihe large, although it set pretty
well.
When short distance north of Sandy
Point, Captain Barr turned the bow toward
the north and headed for the harbor, where
he put the Vigilant through course of ma
neuvers, IN all of which she did well. She
seemed to be much quicker in strip than
she was last year. There was not enough
of wind to Judge of her stiffness, and the
wind came near dying out altogether be-
fore she got back to her moorings at 4:30
o'clock

Pape also got prize of SIS for making three

The cash prizes received to-day by each
of the delegation total as follows: George

E. Blodau $65, D. B. Faktor S43, F. P.
Schuster $43, L. Bendel $26, F. o. Young
$25 and George Alpers 81; total $124O.
The aggregate amount of cash given by
the bund in prizes amounted to $6651, so
that the delegation actually took over a
fifth of the total cash prize money, outside
of honor prize, cups and medals to the
amount of perhaps $1,000. The figures
speak for themselves.
The Shooting Kings" title goes to
Brooklyn, while second and third honors
remain in New York. The title, with the

won by F. G. Ross of the Elite Schuetzen

The Weapon Piled Until His
Body Is Made Almost
UnrecognizabIe.
A REPRooF CAUSED THE DEED.
The Youth Had Quarreled With His
Father and Resented the Old
Mans Words.

OGDEN, UTAH, July 10.-Aged Thomas
Boynton, a prominent and well-to-do
farmer of Kaysville, seventeen miles south
of Ogden, was butchered by his stepson,
named Nephi Blamires, early this morn
ing. Blamires has always been regarded
as a man OF weak mentality, but no sds-
picion that the weakness would take a
violent turn ever occurred to his acquaint-
ances.
1t seems that Boynton and his stepson
had a slight alteration yesterday even
ing in which Boynton used some severe
terms of reproach to young Blamires. The
quarrel was not serious and Boynton went
to bed as usual, evidently not suspecting
anything unusual about to happen. The
dispute, however, had evidently preyed
upon young Blamires' mind and this morn
ing he arose and dressing himself went to
the old gentleman's bedside. Awaking
him the young man said:
did you mean what you said last
night?"
The parent, turning in bed, said quickly,
"Yes," and in another instant the son had
seized an ak and sunk the blade deep in
his fathers head. Not content with this
he struck him again and again that. as he
afterward said to the officers, he "might
kill him without his suffering"
The crime was soon discovered by the
neighbors, who found the body of Boynton
an almost unrecognizable mass of blood,
cuts and bruises, presenting a ghastly
spectacle. The young man was soon after
ward apprehended and at the Jail told sub
stantially the foregoing story. From all
appearances the victim died almost in
stantly An inquest was held this even
ing, but the verdict was not made public.

South Carolina Negroes Formulating
Campaign Plans.

COLUMBIA, S. c., July 10.-A largely
attended convention representing the col
ored people of South Carolina is in progress
here to-day for the purpose of formulating
plan of action to be followed in the con-
stitutional convention campaign which is
now under way. The holding of the United
States Court OF Appeals reversing the de-
cision OF Judge Golf in the registration case
is said to practically disenfranchise the
negroes of the State, and their leaders are
now advising emigration as the only escape
from injustice and oppression.
1t is learned that the Tillmanites or re-
formers will obtain control of the forth
coming constitutional convention and will
complete the Observation-Disclosures of the
colored people, and probably wipe out the
school fund and increase the poll tax.

The Salt Lake City Copper Manufacturing
Company will go into the hands of re-

property involved is fully $500, 900 and the

Three years ago the citizens of Salt Lake

of land to the company as an inducement
for them to build here. The works were
