The Spanish minister here said to-
dsy: Three or four days of north
wind will be the signal for The com
of active operations against
the insurgents in Cuba and within
few weeks there will 10 his opinion be
radical change in the situation on
the island. The campaign against
them will be prosecuted vigorously in
oil the revolted districts and he is con-
fidsnt that the government will destroy
the last vestige of disorder even in the
le at accessible parts of the island.
A few days of steady north wind:
he said, would dissipste the CYCLONE
conditions of the atmosphere and i'm
mediately following this the concerted
advance from the coast, which is DOW
in complete control of the royal forces.
would commence and continue to n
conclusion. OF the result he had no
doubt. He predicts that the bands of
insurgents will be rapidly dispersed
,ud driven from the interior only to
bs met ut the coast by the other Span
ish forces which, in connection vi b
the 26 NEW gunboats and launches Will
have established a complete Gordon
around the island. The Launches, are
relied upon to capture all the lnsurgent
leaders. The minister does not place
the slightest dependence upon reports
that any government is considering Inc
propriety of recognizing state OF bel
iiperency in Cuba as the delay oil
Spain in attacking the rebels Is thor
ouehly understood. In the next week
or two the news from Cuba, he de
clares. will be of such nature that
agitation in favor of the insurgents
will cease, as it will be perfectly appar-
emit Il Ct the instruction is not OF the
importance hitherto attached TO it.

merce on November 18th next, but
he can't 20 to Baltimore to speak for

An important question is presented
in the record of the case of the Roven
Gold Mining Company vs. the Miners
Union of the town of Altman, appealed
from the Circuit Court of the United
States for the district of Colorado. 1t
is an outgrowth of the troubles between
the miners and mine owners at Cripple
Creek. The Roven Gold Mining Com
many sought an injunction from the
United States Circuit Court to restrain
the members of the Miners union
from interfering with workmen en-
ployed by the mining company and 10
prevent them from carrying out an
alleged conspiracy to destroy its
property. In denying the appli-
cation Judge Moses Hallett said !:
II must say that with bands of men,
soma of them, at least, bent upon
plumber and the overthrow of the civil
authority in all parts of the country. |
cannot understand that whenever they
come upon the property of q citizen Of
another STATE, and do some act of vic.
lence to that property, the power and
authority of the federal government
may be invoked for protecting that
property from injury, while citizen Of
the State in which the act may be COM
united may call in vain for such assist
ance. am unable to reach that con-
clusion, and SO feel compelled to de-
ny this application. / do it with some
reluc.ancs, as differing from views that
have been expressed by my brethren 10
other districts, but these matters are
not altogether of to-day. These things
have been going on for some
line, and they have been somewhat III
the minds of all thoughtful men, and
We have occasion to reflect upon them
seriously. l must say that it is my
opinion that the peace and good order
OF society in this State is committed en-
lirely by the constitution of the United
States and by the constitution of the
State to the authorities of the State. II
the government of the State has fallen
into the hands of socialists, as it GER
iainly has, or ofimbeciles, as is probably
true, that is our misfortune, but we do
not thereby acquire the right to assume
control of affairs on the part of the
feder; government"
