THE WATER FRONT.
Notes and Gossip Along Commercial
Street.

With not single arrival other than fisher
men to report, the water front looked
rather neglected yesterday. and yet every
body in port seemed disposed to do all they
could to redeem the front" from the
charge of dullness.
The sailors on board of the English
steamers are not to be prevented from play
ing football by such triiing things as bad
weather, water all about the platform in
front OF shed No. l. and few like annoy
ances. The game was in full progress
yesterday afternoon and the players seemed
to enjoy it.
Freight is rapidly arriving over the Grand
Trunk. and there is already more on hand
than the Numidian can take out, and by
the time the Oregon, reported in Halifax at
S O'clock yesterday morning arrives her
cargo will be well in. Yesterday two car
loads Of cattle arrived for the Nurnedian
from Toronto, and a car load of horses from
Montreal. 1t is rather a matter of wonder
NEXT how it is that there is so brisk a de-
mand foI horses in England this season.
Commonly they export. not import them.
but this season it is exactly the reverse.
The Portland fishing fleet is fairly well
represented in port now. j. v. Trefefhen
reported the following arrivals yesterday
Ella M. Doughty, with 10000 pounds of cod
and paddock, Eva and Mildred, with 12,0Q0

day that sixteen Holsters will buy a barrel

you ever stop tc think how hard the lobster
cate hers have to work at this season Of the
year? You never did, hold on then It'll I've
filled my pipe and I'll tell you something
about it. They go out, row miles. go and get
their bait, draw in their pots, and in nine
times out Of ten fail to find more than a
lobster OR two perhaps not amy. and then
they have to bait up and try again. You'd
find in the long run that they earn all the
-four their Holsters will pay for
Mr.. Trefethen confirmed this. He said that
the smacks now have to go from thirty to
one hundred and fifty miles along the coast
for Holsters, and of course have to buy of
many of the men who mako business of
setting the trals.
The fact that Captain Matthews has just
added another tug TO the Portland fleet, led
a captain who WAS in Philadelphia a short

and was responded to by the chemical and
Hose .. The alarm came from the Forest
City Dye house. The fire itself Was out a
small affair, and was put out with a single

JampOS in Havana With Naval
and Military Officers.
1T is NOT GENERALLY CREDITED
That the Cubans Are in Retreat
Spanish Send Re-inforcements--
Strengthen FOrtiflcatiOns.

Havana, Dec. 26-Since the arrival here
last night of Captain General Martinez
de Campos from Matanzas he has been
In conference with leading military and
naval officers, civil dignitaries and the
leaders Of the different political parties.
The captain general upon his arrival
here announced that the Spanish troops
In Matanzas occupied advantageous posi-
tions and that the Cubans would either
be compelled to fight a pitched battle In
that province or surrender. 1t is not gen.
orally believed, however, that the march
of Gomez and Maceo upon Havana has
really been stopped and that they are
in retreat. In support OF this 1t is said
that If Maceo and Gomez are retreating
the government would be slow in making
public every item of news obtainable con-
corning this feature of the hitherto trl-
umphant march of the insurgents.
Preparations are being made here for
defense, and forwarding to the front OF
all troops than can be spared. 1t is un-'
dertsood that the Spanish columns in the
insurgents rear have been ordered to
concentrate as quickly as possible on the
frontier of Matanzas, and that every ef-
fort is tosbe made to prevent the retreat
of the Cubans into Santa Clara.
While these preparations are being
made, apparently to stop the insurgents
from escaping back into Santa Clara,
the land Notifications Of Havana are re-
ceiving attention day and night. A num-
ber of additional earthworks have been
thrown up and they are being hastily
completed and supplied with ammunition,
and the outposts of the Spanish troops
around Havana are being strengthened
and more securely fortified,

RED CROSS WORKERS.
VIII Start for the Armenian Scenes OF
Trouble.

A New York correspondent says: Miss
Clara Barton, president Of the American
Red Cross, was at the Waldorf yesterday
making preparations for her work In
Armenia in the interest Of the Interna-
tional Red Cross.
'T think there would be enough Rcd
Cross workers to do the work both here
and in Armenia" she said, III there were
any need OF such aid because of a war
over Venezuela. or course the work OF
the national Red Cross is first and fore
most for our own country, but / do not
believe there will be need Of 1t.
II cannot say how many nurses would
be available in case OF such a war, nor
what provisions we could supply for car
rying help TO the field. ! cannot say how
many tents we could provide. We have
not many stored away to pay rent upon;
but am certain they would be forthcom-
ing In the event OF their need. AS for
nurses and doctors.I do not know OF a
trained nurse I'm this country whose SER
vices would not be offered, snd there are
any number of young physicians who
would be glad to do field duty
IF there were need 10 decide between
Armenia and battlefield upon which our
soldiers were wounded, the decision must

my going to Armenia Is still condi-
tional," she said. 1T is on condition that
the means are forthcoming to carry on
the work. There will probably be need
for 100000 to carry relief TO Armenia" :"
Miss Barton said that there would be no
women In the relief party.

THE VOTE ON THE BILL.

Washington. Dec 2G.-The house today
responded to the appeal Of the president
by passing tariff bill, the operation Of
which is limited to 2h years and which
is designed to raise the $4O,0OO.O00 for the
relief OF the treasury. The bond bill will
be passed tomorrow. The vote today was
on party lines, with two exceptions. The
Republicans all voted for the bill except
Hartman, Of Montana, who did not vote,
and the Democrats and Populists against
It, except Newlands, Of Nevada, who vot-
ed in favor Of the measure.
The special order under which the bill
was brought to a vote after three and a
half hours debate, was ironclad in char
acter and compelled the members to adopt
or reject II without opportunity Of offering
amendments Of any kind. The debate
Itself was participated In by the leaders
on both sides. The Republicans contend
ed that the first necessity for the treas
nry was revenue TO supply the continued
deficiency. Every speaker denied that the
proposed measure was Republican pro-
lection bill. II was, they claimed, an
emergency revenue bill on protection
lines. II was significant that several. no.
tably Dalzell, Payne. Hopkins and Gros-
venor, predicted the passage Of a genuine
protective measure as soon asfthe Repub-
licans gained control OF the White House.
The Democrats took the position that
there was no lack on revenue in the
treasury, and that the passing OF the bin
to increase taxation would in no wise
help the situation nor furnish the relief
desired by the president and the secretary
OF the treasury
The bill passed today repeals the present
tariff law until August LIST. 1898. 1t re-
stores 90 percent Of the Mckinley rates on
wool and woolens. lumber and carpets,
and makes a horizontal increase OF the
present rates on all other schedules. ex-
cept sugar. OF Is per cent When theI
bill was put upon its passage II was
passed, 205 to 81, the vote being taken by
yea and no.

day.
The mails were returned to the post
office early in the morning, and win be
sent across on the Campania.
Mr.. Griscom, president of the company.
was In Philadelphia at the time of the
accident, but hurried here on the first
train. He reached the pier about 2 O'Clock
in the afternoon, and with other officials
of the line, went to the fatal engine
room.
Just how 1t happened, or what caused
the catastrophe" he said to me, will
probably never be known. All the men
who were in the engine room are dead,
and we can only theorize now. There
are two or three ways In which II might
have occurred. There Is q valve on the
steampipe In the boiler room, also one in
the engine room.
1t was known that the valve In the
boiler room was open partially, and It
may have been that the steam rushed
through the pipe and burst 1t before the
second valve could be opened. There are
other ways it might have happened, but
we can only surmise at present"
Mr.. Grlscom said that as 1t would take
at least ten days to repair the broken
pipe, the st. Paul would not sail until
her regular sailing day, three weeks
hence.
