THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co.
DOES NOT MEAN DTSdSrER.
Lomez's Retreat Said to be Evidence of His
 Masterly Tactics.

Mnsterly Tactics.
 New York; Dec. 25-Gonzalo de Que sada, secretary of the local Cuban jun ta, tonight said,
 General Maxine Gomez dwarfs Cap tain General Martinez Campos as to practical and tactical success. Gomez has done what he set out to do-he has prevented the harvesting of the sugar crop Campos has failed utterly in all his plans of cordons to prevent the com mander of the patriots from advanc- ing.
 Of Gomez's advance into Matanzas, if We had any doubt it would be dispelled by the admission of DeLome and Muruaga What does this mean? That Gomez outgeneralled Campos by the most brilliant tactics and successfully flanked the Spanish forces and evaded them at Las Villas, Colon and Jovel- lanos, leaving the Spaniards to follow him with all railroads and telegraphic communication severed.
 If, as is reported, Gomez has retreat ed it does not mean disaster, but fur ther evidence of his masterly tactics, while, if he is advancing toward Hava- ma his pursuers will advance no faster than he, and he will gain ten men to their one as he advances"

His Neck Was Broken,

Providence, Dec. 25.-At Il o'clock two young men passing along North Main street heard shouts of murder, The cries came from Frank Smith, a plumber, twenty-three years of age, who lurched into the arms of the two young men as they reached the spot and expired almost immediately. His neck had been broken by either a kick or a powerful blow. At midnight the only clue to the murderers was a hat found in the alley through which the two men ran away. A woman who was passing says she heard a man exclaim now, will you shut up?" This being followed by the sound of blows. Smith was well known among his tradesmen and was unmarried.

DrNRiTEN HAS ARRIVED.
i.e is Prepared to substantiate the Charges
 He Made.


 New York. Dec. 25.-The Earl of Dun- raven, owner of the Valkyrie III, ac- companied by his legal advisor, George Asquith, a noted London barrister, and Arthur Glennie, ex-commodore of the Royal Portsmouth Yacht club, arrived this evening. The steamer reached port too late to be passed by the health officer and customs officials.
 Fl Maitland Kersey the American representative of the Irish earl, had been waiting all day with a tug and a special dspensation from the treas ury permitting him to remove the dis tinguished visitors from the Teutonic down the bay. His purpose was to assist his lordship in evading the army of newspaper mem waiting for him.
 Lord Dunraven's visit is for the pur- pose of doing what he can to substan- tiate the charge of fraud which he made against the yacht Defender after he returned to England. He brings with him a number of dispositions of 'iA'lilDVlS OI l'to Ilc" anu Al lllut Iltu- nie, who sailed on the Valkyrie during the races, is expected to testify. Lord Dunravens legal advisor, Mr. Asquith, will probably be permitted to appear before the New York Yacht clubs in- vest.gating committee and conduct the earfs case. He is famous on the other side as cross examiner and is broth CT of the Honorable Herbert Henry As quith. who was home secretary under Gladstone
 The preparations for Lord Dunraven's reception were in marked contrast to those upon his former visits When he came here in 1893 with Valkyre II and again last year with Valkyrie III he was welcomed by yachtsmen and peo- pie of prominence generally as a fair and honorable sportsman who had pluck to try for the Americas $ cup after the many failures of his countrymen to regain it. The men who were his most hospitable entertainers then are the ones whom he has now accused of conduct which, if true, would debar them from the society of gentlemen.
 Lord Dunraven alleges that the De- fender after being measured for the cup races was surreptitiously loaded so as to sink her four inches deeper in the water and that she sailed that way in the first days race and that after the race the additional ballast was secretly removed. He does not accuse MT. Ise lin or any cue of the owners of the De- fender of being personally cognizant of the fraud.
 The committee which will investigate the charge is composed of J. Pierpont Morgan, W. c. Whitney, G. L. Rivers, Honorable F.. J. Phelps, ex-minster to England, and Captain A. T. Mahan, U. s. N.
 Joseph H. Choate has been engaged as counsel to the committee. The first hearing is now set for Friday, in the model room of the club It will be prf Nate. The committee will probably call some members of the crew as we'll as Captain Barr and Captain Terry and officers of the Hattie Palmer and City of Bridgeport, the tenders of the yachts and dock officials, tugboat captains and others who were in positions to know what was going on on the Defender. It is expected that c. Oliver Tselin, w. Butler Duncan, jr., Newberry Thorne. W. K. Vanderbilt. H. c. Leeds and E. D. Morgan will also testify.

SPORT IS .IBSURD.
No Credcnce is Placed In the Reported .oan
 From Russia.

Washington, D, C.. Dec. 25.-Secretary Carlisle to-day declined to say any thing for publication concerning a sto- ry printed here that Russia stands ready to loan the United States $400,- 000 900 in gold and that the United States is considering the offer, The story states that the offer has been pending since early in the present ad- mlnistration. A high treasury official possessing the entire confidence of the secretary. says that he never heard of the offer and does not believe such an offer is in existence. Other officials say the story is absurd.
 It is pointed out that the application of the Monroe doctrine would stop the United States as a nation, from deal ing with Russia as nation in financial matters.
 Russia is on a paper basis, but the Russian government has about $5OO,- GOO 900 visible gold, besides large credits in LCndon, Paris and Berlin.

 FOrmOsa,

FOrmosa.
 San Francisco Dec. 25.-Tokio advices dated December say:
 Peace is not yet fully restored in For- mosa, although the governor general has issued a proclamation announcing the establishment of good order. A de- solutory resistance is still kept up by scattered bands.
 Japanese commercial enterprise con- tinues to show remarkable activity and something like a mania prevails in the stock market. Manufacturing schemes of various kinds are projected, includ- ing a cotton spinning mill and muslin factory with million yen capital. If this factory successfully undertakes the production of mousseine delaine a, seri- ous blow will be given to the import trade of Japan, for at present three and a quarter million yet worth of that staple is purchased from Europe, three millions of it coming from France and Germany alone.
 A general rise of nearly all kinds of securities, averaging about 20 per cent. tolS place during November. There is a rumor that the Japanese government has entered into provisionary arrange ments with Lord Armstron & Co, the great English firm of shipbuilders and e-Inmakers. for the establishment of 8 dock yard and gun factory in Japan. If this scheme be consummated Japan will soon be building all her own ships of war and making her own armament.

Tobacco Men Excited.

Henderson, Ky, Dec. 25.-Considera- ble excitement was caused in this city yesterday by the receipt of several ca blegrams addressed to tobacco buyers Henderson is the largest strip tobacco market in the world and most of the product, amounting to 30,000, 600 pounds annually. is shipped to England. Yes terday's cablegrams were from partners of local handlers, advising them not to buy any more tobacco until further mo- tice. As the product is now being bought at a very low figure it is be- lieved that the English tobacco men are afraid of the Venezuelan cOmplica- tions. A war with England would dam age this section severely At the tobac- co exchange yesterday there was almost a panic. Prices on all grades broke sharply and very little trading was done. Unless the pressure is shortly relieved business will come to a stand still.

Insurgents Ventured Too Far.

Washington, Dec. 25.-Senor Depuy de Lome the Spanish minister, believes that the insurgent forces reported in the vicinity of Havana are in great danger of being completely routed. He has not as yet received any official in formation that Havana is in danger. He says it is foolhardy to suppose that Maceo and Gomez will attack Havana. It is reported that the insurgents have a force of 12,000 men to do this hazard ous work, but according to Minister de Lome's information the number is G. 000. Havana, he says, has a militia of 30 900 men, who in most case have seen active service. It Is the opinion that the insurgents have vetnured too far into the government lines and will have a great deal more difficulty in retreat ing than they had in advancing.

For the New HattIpShiDs.

Washington, Dec 25-It has been practically decided by Secretary Her bert tc award the contract for the con- structiOn of the battleship kearsarge and her unnamed sister vessel 10 the Newport News, Va, Ship Building and Dry Dock company. in accordance with the recommendations of the naval board. The bid of the Virginia firm was $2,250000 for each ship. It is un- derstood that the suggestion of the board that the secretary give the Union Iron works an opportunity of securing the contract for one of these ships by scaling their bid was rejected by MT
 Herbert on account of a precedent es- tabIished by Secretary Tracy that bidders be allowed tO scale only when the proposals came within per cent
 of the bid of the successful bidder. The alternate proposition of the board that the Union Iron works and the Cramp company of Philadelphia be given an opportunity 10 secure two ships each through the appropriation of congress on recommendation of the secretary is said 10 be still under consideration.
