Division No. ?. Ancient Order of Hi bernians, had a largely attended and in- teresting meeting yesterday afternoon in Pythian hall. Five new members were added to the roll and four applications read and submitted.
 The division raised S75, the amount of it's assessment toward the establishment of a Gaelic chair at the Washington, D. C., university. The chair was decided upon at the national convention of the order in Omaha last year, with a view to perpetuating the Gaelic language and at the same time a fund of $50,000 was voted. The amount is almost entirely raised, and the chair will be established in short time.
 The division appointed a committee to arrange for the annual picnic of the order at some date yet to be decided upon.

went are white and belonged to the best families here. One of them is a we'll known physician. Another is the owner of two plantations and son of one of the wealthiest men on the island. Others are professional and business men. All are armed with rifles and revolvers.
 Francisco Nalientea, colonel in the last war, led them. Maceo sent a squad of mounted men to meet the recruits just outside of the city and they are now with him.
 After the conference with his chiefs at Jarahueca in the mountains, twenty miles northeast of Songo, Maceo moved westward. camping one night at Triompe plantation and passing on to Santa Ana, where he now is with a force variouSly estimated at from 2O00 to 4000 men. Goulet's band of 1000 men is with him.
 Maceo's movements have been in the direction of San Luis the terminus of the railroad which runs from here. AS Santa Ana is only ten miles away, the govern ment moved all available troops to San Luis evidently expecting an attack upon the town Four small triangular forts have been built with blanks filled in with earth, in positions which command the approaches to the town. A rough breast work of logs has been thrown up in front of the barracks.
 Nearly 1000 Spanish troops are now at San Luis. Songo. the terminal point of the branch of the railroad, is another danger SDOl, DuI the troops nave Deen withdrawn from there to strengthen the garrison at San Luis, and it would not be surprising if Maceo were to sWoop down upon Songo first. Cubans here say that Maceo will strike a strong blow within a few days in order to let Cubans in other parts of the island know that he, is here and means business.
 Governor Garrick sent for the brothers of some of the young Cubansf who went away yesterday and asked them if they knew of the matter in advance. One of them replied that he not only knew of it, but knew that half the Cubans on the is land talk of going to join Maceo before many days
 Martinez Campos has been expected here for three days. The cutting of tel egraph wires leaves all of the north coast cities outside of communication, and the government is now talking about laying a cable around the island
 The forces on the north and south sides of this province are compelled to act in- dependently of each other, and a part of the government plan is to have the forces act jointly. Troops are being pushed inland from Gibara to Holguin and beyond, and from Manzanillo to Bayamo to meet the others and form line across the island. All the recently arrived troops are sent away to carry out this plan, leaving very few men for garrison duty here and along the rail road The Cuban residents say that Maceo is fully advised of this and may decide to attempt the capture of this the second city of the island Some color Is given to this conjecture by the fact that Maeeo has issued an order to all chiefs to gather horses, as he desires to mount 1000 men to form cavalry.
 There are ten eases of yellow fever in the hospital here. The patients are all soldiers. At Guantanamo the hospital full of soldiers. Most of them have an intermittent fever. Exposure to the night air and rain in the interior brings If on

The Accidental Killing of Young John Hill
 on the Bigbee.
 Monday a hunting party consisting of J.W. Rice of Livingston and his brother, Alonzo Rice of Gainesville, and Ap Rush there for hunt and fishing frolic on the Bigbee river above town, says the Sum- ter Sun. ]. W. Rice and Rush went into the woods hunting, while the two young CT boys, aged about r, remained at the river and set out a trot line. About 10;30 the two older boys returned from hunting and joined the two younger on the bank on the Greene county side. In a few min uteS some one proposed target shooting and John Hill took card and walked off about forty yards and placed 1t upon a stump Alonzo Rice fired at it with No. shot and missed 1t. J. w. Rice told his brother to put in larger shot and he would shoot at it. AlonZo put car fridge in the breech-loader, which is an old-style gun, about inches of the barrel shuts over and fastens with a spring and as he handed it to J. w. Rice snapped it down. when 1t was instantly discharged, the load striking John Hill forty yards away The boys hurried to him at once as he began to reel, and one of them ran to town for doctor, but he was past all help and died in fifteen minutes. No in quest was held, and the interment was made Tuesday morning at the Odd Eel lows cemetery, where his body wars laid to rest by the side of his mother.
 The dead boy is the son of MT. sam Hill, who is farming on the Wrenn place near Sumterville. This is indeed a sad affair, and all parties have the sympa- thy of many friends.

Topeka, Ks, May 12.-County Attor- ney Stafford announced yesterday that he would not cause a warrant to be issued on the complaint of G. w. Powers, charging Governor Morrill, with having obtained money out of the state treasury by false pretenses. He says the vouchers which Powers refers to are evidence of what they were given for for the auditor of the state had full knowledge of the facts when he approved the accounts, and that there was no concealment by the governor and no attempt to deceive. Such a complaint, he says, states no cause of action, and he will not be party to such al proceeding or permit the state of Kansas to be a party to it

The Iron Market.

Cincinnati May 1.-The feature of the situation in the iron trade Is the demand of labor for higher wages. With the first indications Of improving business and better employment for labor, the men are on hand with claims for q substantial increase in wages. The result for the time being is demoralizing Many manu- featuring concerns which had taken con- tracts on the narrowest margin of prof it's or at no profit at all, in order to keep the wheels going and labor employed find themselves in a very unpleasant fix. There is no doubt that employers gen. erally are only too glad to share with their labor the first real improvement in business but the suddenness of these de- mands. and the extreme things asked have made many employers indifferent as to whether they keep their works go- ing or not.
 Not a little disappointment is ex- pressed at the extreme slowness of the recovery in actual trade. Attention is called to the fact that it reverses the nat ural order the improvement being in raw material wages and speculative proper ties not in demand for finished goods. The expectation is that the iatter will follow, but it's slowness is the cause of disappointment to those who want things to move fast.
 In pig iron the principal business has been done in northern brands. The southern furnaces hold firm to schedule prices, and are quite content to run along with light business for a time. The strikes at the furnaces of the Illinois Steel company, Chicago, the Shenango valley furnaces and in the PocahontaS coke district must necessarily restrict production of pig quite considerably. When the troubles are settled it will mean higher cost of pig iron in more than one district.
