her immense army in the field in the
island is completely ruined. 1t will take
Cuba years and years to recover from
the effects of the war"
WASHINGTON, Dec 24.-If the Gu
ban insurgent forces under Generals
Maeeo and Gomez are advancing on
Havana with the prospect of reaching
that city by tomorrow, as has been re-
ported this afternoon, Senor De Lone,
the Spanish Minister to the United
States, has no information thereon. He
gave out a cablegram tonight tt the
United Press from General Arderius,
acting Governor General of Cuba This
cablegram was written at l o'clock this
afternoon, and was received by Senior
De Lone few minutes before o'clock.
1t reads as follows:
II have just led conference with
General Campos in Limonar. He re-
ports that yesterday he overlook the
forces of Maximo Gomez and h an
engagement with him. It was q III
bic affair, because of the fighting ing
in the midst of burning fields. Twelve
OF the Government troops were wound
ed and sent to the hospital at Matanzas.
Maxine Gomez's forces retreated in
small bodies, according to their usual
tactics. The Commander-in-C has
just at this moment started for Quay
nabana, where he will pass the night.
The forces under Generals Vildez and
Luque are in front of the insurgents,
but remain in communication with the
Commander-in-Chie
IN flo ga Of tho Tanaip+ Of ba
statements in General Ardarius' cable
gram that the rebels, after fighting, re-
treated, Minister De LONE does not be-
lieve they are making a movement on
Havana. He said the Cubans are fight
ing after the fashion of our own Indi-
ans, who caused the Government so
many years of trouble before they were
conquered.
1.-THE advance of the insurgents" he
continued, sis for the purpose of devas-
tating the canefields and preventing the
gathering of the sugar crop. But there
is no use talking about their being vic
torious, as such a thing is out of the
question They have not taken single
town, and it is not likely that they will
be able to do so. I have received a
cablegram, under date of the 23d, which
is similar in nature to others 1 have re-
ceived, which are intended to keep me
fully advised"
The telegram referred to says: Cen
eral Campos left Colon on the 22d for
Jovlanos. The bands of Maceo and,
Gomez are advancing in a tortuous
way through the uninhabited portions
of the island, trying to avoid engage
ments and occasionally burning some
canefelds."

tive to the Anglo-American crisis has
been compiled by an author of distinc-
ton. whose name, however, is not made
public, and is being vigorously signed
Among those who sign the address will
be John Ruskin, William Leckey, Wal
ter Besant, Richard Blackmore,
Haggard, John Morley and others
equally prominent. After predatory re-
marks, the address continues:
There are two paths before us. One
leads we know not WHITTIER but, in the
end, through war, with all its accompa-
niments of carnage, unspeakable suf-
fering, liraitless destruction and hide
Gus desolation, to its inevitable Sc
quence, hatred, bitterness and the dis
ruptfon of our race. 1t is this path that
we ask you to join US in an effort to
make impossible"
The address expresses the pride felt
by the British for the United States.
and says: Nothing in history has
earned US more glory than the con-
quest of a vast continent by the Anglo
Saxon race. When our pride is hum
bled by the report of things that you
do better than ourselves, it also was
lifted up by the consciousness that you
are our kindred There is no anti
American feeling among Englishmen;
it is impossible that there can be any
anti English feeling among Ameri-
cans.
eff war should occur English litera-
ture would be dishonored and disfig-
ured for century to come by patrl-
otic songs, histories of victories and de-
feats records of humiliation and dis
grace and stories of burning wrong and
unavenged insult. These would be
branded deep in the hearts of our peo-
pies, who would so express themselves
in poems and verses, so as to make II
impossible for any of us who had
lived through such a war to resume
their former love and friendship.
In conclusion, it says: Poets and
creators, scholars and philosophers,
men and women of imagination ana
vision, we call upon you in the exercise
of your far-reaching influence to save
our literature from dishonor and our
race from lasting injury.

Situation ia Central Turkey Daily Be-
coming More Serious.
Tba Government Doing Nothing to
Put a Stop to the Work OF MUIR
der and Pillage.

RoSTON. Dec. pa letter was re-
ceived in Boston to-day stating that the
situation in Hadjin, Central Turkey, IS
daily becoming more serious. HadJln IS
encompassed by large band of kurds
and Turks. who have raided and
sacked every village in the nelghpor-
hood The Government, the letter says,
does nothing to put a stop to this work
of murder and pillage. The consequence
is that not only have the raiders taken
fresh courage but their numbers nave
swollen so that they constitute an
army of sufficient strength to attack
Hadjin.
The letter continues: "There is prac-
ticaIly no Government. Anarchy sits
enthroned. The Christians OF HadJln,
notwithstanding the treatment TO
which they have been subjected, offered
no resistance, and their conduct
throughout has been most praise
worthy. Neither tina American nor
the English Consul has put in an ap-
pearance. Travel is extremely danger
Gus, and indeed no one ventures these
days. even under the escort of gen
darmes. Supplies are becoming ex-
hausted, and already some are suffer
ing from hunger. The Vail gives assur-
ance that the missionaries shall be pro-
tected, and Consuls have warned him
that they hold him responsible for their
safety"
Another letter was received from the
vicinity of Harpoot, Eastern Turkey.
stating that the apologists for the
ruler of Turkey will doubtless try to
make out that all this disturbance is the
fault of Moslem fanaticism and quite
contrary to the wishes of the Sultan.
''The Government itself will represent"
the letter says, 'it has already be-
gun to represent, that the Armenians
provoked the attacks. AS TO the Arme-
mans, in most places in this region
they had given UP their arms and cast
themselves wholly on the protection of
the Government.
THE day before the outbreak in Har-
poot the Colonel in command tele-
graphed to his commander-in-ch chief in
Mexreh that the Christians had given
UP their weapons and cast themselves
OH the protection Of the Government
with their women and children, and
asked what they should do. He re-
ceived no reply.
1T is perfectly plain that this whole
thing emanated from the Sultan For
two months the Dersin and Moslem
Kurds have been declaring that they
had orders from the Sultan to kill the
Christians The Turks in the cities also
have said the same. Prominent Turk
ish officials have acknowledged that
such an impression was prevalent.
Then simultaneously with the procla-
nation of the acceptance of the re-
forms all these different tribes of Kurds
and the Turks dwelling in localities
widely separated began to move. 1t was
like the calling out of the reserves, and
it was accomplished in way that
showed that the forces were directed
by orders emanating from one head"

ONE MAN BADLY INJURED
Another Accident at the Schoonvergs
Furnace at PittSburg

PITTSBURG, Dec. 24-Another bad
explosion took place to-day at the
Schoonverger Furnace. the scene of
yesterdays terrible accident And to-
days accident was quite similar to that
of yesterday, except that only one was
injured. Yesterday seven were hurt
A number of bricklayers were at work
on top of the furnace when a great vol
ume of burning gas issued from the top
of the furnace, enveloping the men.
One of the workmen, Jose Morton. was
badly burned. In trying to escape from
the flames he missed his footing and fell
to the ground, distance of seventy-five
feet. He was internally injured, and his
recovery is doubtful. Another man
was slightly hurt.
The cause of the explosion was the
same as that of yesterday. A great
mass of molten matter in an adjoining
furnace suddenly settled, forcing out
the burning gas.
The men injured yesterday are get
ting along nicely and will probably all
recover.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-The Mail and

American who has been sojourning
in Cuba for come time past, and VINO
has had excellent opportunity for OH
serving the course of the war in the
island, returned to New York to-day
and told what he had learned. He re-
ports a heavy fight outside of Havana
between the insurgent forces under
Maximo Gomez and the Spanish troops.
The engagement took place near the
town of Colon.
1T is worthy of note he said, that
this town is within 120 miles of Ha-
vana, and while the Spanish authori-
ties, as is always the case, report slight
losses on their part and the rebels as
having been severely punished, it can
not obliterate the fact that the troops
of Maxine Gomez have marched from
the easternmost province, a distance of
about 400 miles, with but slight him
drance from the Spaniards. Some 100
miles to the eastward Of Colon is the
celebrated trocho or trench, heavily
fortified and garrisoned, but which they
have passed without firing shot they
are now in the richest sugar producing
province in the island.
I'm point of fact, three-fourths OF
the island is at present disputed ter

PATRIOTIC DOCUMENT.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-President Rog-
ers of the Northwestern University.
who also occupies the chair of interna-
tionaI law at that college, has, in an
interview given out to-day, come out
f1atfooted for President Clevelands
message. He says it is a purely patri-
otto document
An assertion of his which will prob
ably attract some attention is that the
Monroe doctrine never has been part
OF international law. When asked what
he thought of the message President
Rogers said: Yes, l approve of the
message, and 1 do not regard it as hav-
ing its inspiration in any desire for
third term. l have too great regard for
the President of the United States to
believe that he would place in a posi-
ton of peril two great nations, simply
to further selfish ends.'
The Monroe doctrine, he said, was
broad enough to cover an attempt such
as had been made by England in regard
to Venezuela. While it was not now a
part of international law he expected
it to become so in a few years. Nations
would be compelled to ultimately ac-
knowledge the principle involved, as it
as one of the fundamental principles
which had alone kept them from en-
croaching on each others power.

4 TIMELY REMINDER.

Each season forces upon our con-
sideration its own peculiar perils to
health. The advent of fall finds
many reduced in strength and vigor,
poorly prepared to continue the bus
mess of life. The stomach and bow
els, the greatest highway animal
economy, is especially liable to dis
order in the fail. The nervous sys-
tenn has also suffered in the struggle.
Typhoid fever andmalaria in partic-
ular find in the fall that combina-
ton of earth, air and water that
mark this season as especially dan
gerous. The falling leaves, the de-
caying vegetables contribute their
share of contamination. Hoods Sar-
saparilla furnishes most valuable
safeguard at these important points,
and should be used in the fall before
serious sickness has laip you low.
