For the month of October there is

CAMPos' PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
The Captain General Outlines His
Plans and Policy In Cuba.

Madrid, Oct 27-An official dispatch
confirms the news Of the loss Of the gov
ernment launch Caridid. near Sierra
Morena. Cuba. during the hurricane that
recently passed over that island
A dispatch to the Imparcal from Ha-
vana says that in an interview Capt. Gen.
Campos said he was determined to thor
oughly try a policy of ieniency toward the
Insurgents According TO the dispatch,
Marshal Campos declared that If a change
in this policy was found necessary, 10000
more troops would be required to quell
the insurrection, and even then, 1900
He mentioned the plan To assume the
offensive next month IN the province of
Santa Clara, he then personally Leading a
force Of 25,0e0 men, and moving forw ard in
an extensive line across the whole island,
thus driving the rebels into the mountains
and forests Of the provinces Of Puerto
Principe and Santiago de cuba before the
middle of March The rebellion will thus
be isolated in the eastern part Of the
island, where Marshal CampOs thinks the
resistance TO the government is likely to
be prolonged.
The plan includes the alternative scheme
of dividing the island into zones, each Of
which Will be allotted to a different com
mander, whose duty ID viii be to con-
stantly patrol his zone. driving the insur-
gents from point to point and also the
making of attacks concurrently on several
places Should this latter plan be adopt
ed, Marshal Campos hopes to have the
first zone cleared Of insurgents in two
months
He observed that Spain was ready 90
send even more troops than he had asked
for, but the speediest dispatch OF the re-
Inducements was imperative.
He declared that the sanitary depart
ment was eXcellently organized and that
there We're plenty of hospitals. True, he
added. all the doctors were not acquainted
with yellow fever, but they confronted
their duties with the greatest heroism.
Thirteen of the doctors had died since
the outbreak Of the rebellion.
Continuing, the captain general said, he
believed that the United states would
eventually recognize the insurgents as
belligerents, but he did not fear the re-
suit Of such recognition. Il would clear
the air, and the Spanish fleet would be
able to seize hlibusters anywhere be-
cause foreign flag could not cover con-

the present obscure operations would be
replaced by real war, the success OF
which would depend on pitched battles.
In that case, if the chances Of war did
not favor Spain, the island would, at
least, be honorably lost.
The publication of the interview has
stirred political and military circles here.

BADLY KEPT BUREAU hooks.
Two Disbursing Division Employees
Ousted.

Washington, oct. 27.-As a result Of the
Investigation into the methods of the dis
bursting division OF the state department,
known as the bureau of accounts, Fran
cisco J. Kieckhoefer, chief of the bureau.
and Edward Haywood, chief bookkeeper,
have resigned at the request Of Secretary
Olney.
No crimnality is alleged. but Mr.. Olney
decided that the affairs Of the bureau had
been carelessly conducted and deemed a
change necessary. When he reached this
decision is unknown, but he selected Mr..
Kieckhoefer's successor several days ago,
and the announcement Of his appoint
ment may be made tomorrow. The name
of the person to whom the position viii
be given cannot be ascertained. The in
vestigation began last July, in conform
ity with the provisions of the Dockery
reorganization law. 1t Is understood that
shortages were discovered In the accounts
Of the sale Of volumes Of the laws OF con-
gress or Revised Statutes. and money re-
ceived from South American and Central
American governments for the support of
the bureau Of the American republics. The
experts found that 5000 credited to the
latter fund could not be satisfactorily ac-
counted FOR, but Mr.. kieckhoefer states
that this amount and 5000 more. $1,000
in all, is In private bank In Washing
ton to the credit of the Secretary Of
state. This bank does not pay interest
ana rumor that state department en-
ployes have benefited by its deposit ap-
pears TO be groundless.
SO far as the shortage in the Revised
Statutes accounts is concerned the fol-
lowing explanation Is made: Copies Of
the statutes are for sale by the bureau
Of accounts at $3.50 a volume. Many of
them, however, have been distributed
free, some on orders from various sec
retaries of state, and in each instance
$3.50 has been charged against the bu-
feau. A failure to keep an exact record
Of the free distributions has somewhat
complicated the matter, but the explain
alton given is said to be satisfactory. II
Is believed that the government has lost
nothing except the value Of the volumes
OF the Revised Statutes distributed free
and Mr.. Kieckhoefer and Mr.. Haywood
are absolyed from blame for any inten-
ton to defraud."

1t Refuses TO Pay "a Policy on Ac-
count of Drunkenness.
Vicksburg, Miss, Oct. 27.--An interesting
insurance case was decided yesterday in
the circuit court of Warren county.
About two years ago Capt. John d. Tin
ney, formerly postmaster at Vicksburg
was burned in his residence seven miles
from town. He was alone in the house,
his family having gone to Vicksburg that
evening, and the servants had retired to
the negro quarters to sleep. About 2
o'clock in the morning the house was
discovered to be in flames. IT was too
far gone for any one to enter it to see
about Capt. Tinneys safety. The house
was consumed and the remains of Can't
Tinney were found in the ruins after day
light. Various theories as to the cause
of the fire was considered; the two prin-
murdered the captain, or he had himself
fred the house and then committed sui
eide. He had been drinking some, and it
was only two days before Christmas
Four days before his death Capt Tin
ney took out an accident policy for $1,000
When payment of the policy was demand
ed by Capt. Tinneys widow the insurance
company declined to pay the claim on the
ground that Tinney was intoxicated at
the time, hence his death was caused by
contributory negligence. Suit was finally
brought in the circuit court and the plea
that Tinney was intoxicated was the main
defense of the insurance company. They
were unable to prove that Tinney was in
toxfcated al the time of his death and the
Jury returned a verdict in favor Of Mrs
Tinney for s., no. principal and interest.

prosperous farmers, Wells being a man
of family.

The fireman had just started to get up
steam in three of the boilers and it is
supposed, having allowed the supply of

the already heated boilers. Two boilers

blown 500 feet, passing through the dry
house and dropping through a railroad
trestle into the water.

A HAVANA EDITOR ATTACKED.
A Negro WayIays Him and FeIIs Him
With an Iron Bar.

Havana, Oct. PA sensation has been
caused in this city by murderous attack
that was made last night on the director
of the Diario de Ia Marina, the organ
here of the government. The director
was passing along a street, when a negro
suddenly sprang in front of him from
the doorway of a house, the entrance OF
which opens directly on the street, and
struck him a violent blow over the right
eye with a heavy iron bar, telling him
to The ground and innicting a serious
wound. Evidently thinking that the blow
had been a fatal one, the negro fed and
is still at liberty. 1t is surmised that
the attack grew out of the attitude of
the Diario de la Marina toward the in
surgents, and that the wOuld-be assassin
is himself a rebel or a rebel sympathizer.
