TO CAPTURE SANTIAGO.
Gen. Moncada Has 400 Rebels In
trenched Behind the
Town.

Kingston, Jamaica, March 16..-Authen-
tic aClvces direct state that the revolution
is progressing most favorably. Exact in
formal ton as to the various movements
cannot readily be obtained owing to gov
eminent censorship over Geographic COM
munica tons. This was foreseen and pro-
vided for Each revolutionary leader
fights on rs own account, thus distract
ing the Spanish forces and leaving them
in perpetual doubt as to where and when
the next blow will be struck.
At every point occupied the insurgents
first act is to destroy the telegraph SO
the government shall be left in the dark
as to their movements. 1t is supposed
at Havana and Santiago that DIR. Grillo,
the president of the Autonomy party, and
Urbana Sanchez have fled before the
Spanards. Their movements, however,
are strategic. Grillo is here. He came
yesterday via MOntegro bay. Sanchez
has gone to San Domingo. The arrival Of
Grillo is but the carrying out of one Of
it's principal plans of the insurgents.
Fourteen other insurgents accompany
him.
The Cubans here are very active, yet no
overt act that could bring them under the
direct notice Of the British authorities
has been or is likely to be committed
In fact to all appearances these visitors
know nothing about any revolution and do
nothing but behave themselves with great
circumspection. Besides mystifying the
military authorities by dark movements,
the insurgent forces have struck several
blows heavily and with rapidity. each,
it is declared, having accomplished it's
object. They were all to secure strategic
points. Many points of vantage are now
occupied inland and good secret coast pO-
sitions are held. through which supplies
are drawn despite Spanish watchfulness.
At Santiago the insurgents hold a
strongly intrenched position not far from
the city, under the command of Gen.
Moncada, Quintn Bundera and Veto
rian Carson. They are 400 strong and
we'll equipped with four months sup
plies. Several attempts to dislOdgc them
have proved futile and costly to the
Spanards Moncada is, or rather was,
awaiting instructions and reinforcements
to enable him to capture Santiago.
At Barre, 800 armed men made a dem
onstration. There were also a few fights
in .Jagury Grande. Matanzas. There
were 1000 troops ordered to Santiago on
March / and there was fight at Ybarra
with the insurgents. who were driven to
the mountains Twenty rifles and $4,000
cartridges were captured.
A lively fight with insurgents at Mocha
was reported on March and thirty four
were captured. At Vequita 300 rebels
met the Spanish soldiers. There We're
eleven killed and many prisoners taken.
The same day a demand was made in
the cabinet at Madrid for unlimited ap-
preparations to suppress the rebellion.

SWEAT SHOP LAW VOID.
Decision 10y Illinois Supreme court
that will Affect 10000
Women.

Chicago, Ill.,, March 15.-The Supreme
court of Illinois gave decision at Mount
Vernon yesterday, declaring that the
eight-hour law, or as it is generally known,
the sweatshop law, is unconstitutional.
The law prohibited the employment OF
women for more than eight hours day,
or more than forty-eight hours a week,
in any factory within the borders OF H.
linois.
While the law related exclusively to
the employment of women, it was under
stood at the time of it's passage that a
similar measure regulating the number Of
hours men could be hired to work would
follow on it's heels. Probably 10000
women in Illinois who work in factories
are affected by the decision, $4,000 Of
whom live in Chicago. They are en-
ployed in the main in shoe factories, cloak
and clothing houses, candy factories, pa
per box shops and various other manu-
featuring establishments.

Views of Rome Paper on the killing of
Italians in Colorado

1CaIIHHS III COLORADO.
Rome, March 15.-The Giornale, re-
ferring to the killing of the Italians at
Walsenberg, Col, says that the Italians
were certainly in the wrong if they killed
Hixon, the saloonkeeper. "But." the
Giornale says, that does not Justify the
summary lynching Of six prisoners. The
importance of the law is nevertheless
evident and it is to be hoped that the
United States will act firmly and rapidly
punish the guilty and give satisfaction to
Italy"
