WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Senor Dupuy

Marshal Martinez Campos has just
arrived after a magnificent march at
the head of a small column from Ciego
de Avila. through the center and
stronghold of the insurgents district
to Sancti Spiritus.
Being unable to cross the river
Zaza. which was overlooked, he was
obliged to camp for two days, Sleep

''The rebels fred at the column in
the mountains. but took to fight at
the first shot of the troops.
1.-The fact of the commander-in-chief
being able to go with a small column
through this district has given great
hopes of the outcome of the military
operations.
''Everything is ready for the advance
as soon as the weat her is completely
settled"
Sancti Spiritus is about $50 miles

attaches great importan ce to this news
as indicating inactivity on the part OF

the reports emanating from American
sources.

Trouble Expected on the Island of Naniwa.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25.-(Correspond-
ence of the United Press, per steamer
Mariposa):
APIA, Oct. 9.-There is likely to be
some trouble with a high chief of the
island of Naniwa. A half-caste Ger
man subject named Laban inherited
from his father. lately deceased, the
whole of this small island, on which
the latter had effected numerous i'm.
provements during his thirtv-odd
years of occupancy, but had not Sc
cured a good title. The supreme
court. on investigation, awarded the
land to Laban on payment of a certain
sum to the natives.
The court title has been issued to
Laban. Jr.. but the high chief claim
ing the island defies the court and
threatens the life of Laban if he
should venture to return to Naniwa.
1t remains to be seen whether or not
the German man-of-war Fake will as
sist Laban to take possession.
There is a scarcity of coin here at

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Ex- United
States Senator Charles H. Van Wyck,
who, Monday afternoon last, suffered
a severe stroke of paralysis at his
quarters in the Portland hotel of this
city. died about o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The attack in Monday
last was altogether without provo
ca zion and happened while the ex.
senator apparently was feeling in I'M
usually good health. Medical assist
ance was Immediately available, there
being a physician at the hotel at the
time, and he, with little delay, dag
nosed the case as paralysis, and adj
vised the summoning of Mr.. Van
Wyck's family physician, DIR. w. w.
Johnston.
Or. Johnston found, after examine
tion, that the patients entire left side
was paralyzed and there was no
ground for giving hope of his recov-
cry. Mrs. Van Wyck and their
daughter. assisted by a nurse, were
constantly in attend ance upon hin

ENGLAND ALARMED.

War With Russia Would be Less Disastrous
Than to Allow Her to Get q Firm Grip on
China
LONDON, Oct. 26.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette prints long article commenting
upon the dispatch published in the
Times from its Hong Kong CORE
spondent, stating that a treaty was
recently concluded between Russia
and China. by the terms Of
which Russia obtains the right of
anchorage for her fleet at Port Ar
thur, the right to construct and
operate railways and other advantages
of great commercial value. The Ga
zette assumes that this practically
means that Russia has annexed China,
if the conclusion of the treaty is fact.
Japan, the paper says, will certainly
refuse to leave Port Arthur, and En-
gland will oppose it to the death. The
treaty also means the presence of Rus
sian warships off Vancouver and Sgd.
ney, and England must act vigorously
and Immediately, both by means OF
diplomacy and by getting her fleets
ready for sea.
The Globe, in an article on the same
subject, says: Neither England, the
United States. Japan or Germany will
sanction partition of China which
would virtually render the Pacific
ocean a Franco-Russian lake and seal
the markets China against their COM
merce.
The st. James Gazette says: ut is
obvious that if Russia has squeezed
China into such an agreement we
must intervene. War with Russia,
with all its risks and possibilities,
would be less disastrous than to allow
her without striking a blow to get
such a grip on China"

DEALING IN FUTURES.


Republicans Forebodlng Trouble In Oh1e
This FALL
Republican, organs throughout the
country that have some political
shrewdness and foresight are already
apologizing for what they anticipate
| in Ohio this fall They have seen the
handwriting on the wall and they are
preparing to let themselves down as
| lightly as possible when the predicted
calamity comes. It is their mature con-
clusion that there will be dispropor-
tionately large falling off in the repub-
lican majority in McKinley'sowns state.
This concession reflects credit upon
their Judgment, but is made with a
view to meeting the inevita BILE with some
grace and equanimity when it is en-
countered. It goes for the saying that
they carefully avoid the truth in deal
ing with this matter and adopt q theory
least shocking to their own SENSIBLE
tiles.
The claim made by these men dis
counting political futures is that the
fight in Ohio is between Foraker and
anti-Foraker elements. Adopting this
proposition without offering the slight
est evidence of its correctness, the as
sertion is made that Foraker is not so
strong vote-getter as Mckinley, that
the fre-eater does not deserve the con-
spicuous place he is given in the strug.
gle and that the republican campaign
managers are making costly mistake
in permitting him to occupy it. On his
shoulders is placed responsibility for
the deluge that is confidently looked
for. This is cool and impudent pro-
cedure. In every campaign speech
Foraker and all his helpers insist that
the relations between himself and Gov.
Mckinley are of the most cordial char
acter. So far as their utterances and
their actions indicate they are working
in unison and accord. Bushnell wants
to be governor, Mckinley wants to be
president and Foraker wants to be
United States senator. For them to
pull apart would be to deliberately
weaken the chances of each member of
the trio.
The anti Foraker faction has always
been the Mckinley following and for
the little Napoleon to weaken his party
in his own state would be a blunder of
which even he is incapable. The truth is
the masses are recovering from the re-
lapse which gave the repu bl1cans the
benefit of their last tidal wave. Re-
suits of democratic administration have
indicated the principles that have
guided it. The people have warmed to
a national policy that issues to their
benefit and shuts out the greedy power
which was directing legislation for the
further Capitalization of wealth. They
cannot resist the logic of better times,
more work, higher wages, greater bust
ness activity and general prosperity
that reaches to every nook and corner
of the land. There will be tremend-
GUS falling off in the republican ma
jority of Ohio because improved condi-
tions have been making democrats; be-
cause republicans are seeing the light.
and because they have in ex-Gov.
Campbell such man of the people as
they delight to honor.-Detroit Free

Gen. Maceo Invsdes tho Province q Ma
tanxas and Defeats Large Spanish
Force, which Voluntarily Marches Into .
Trap. from which They Retreat -Four
Hours Later, Leaving 500 Mem Dead On
the Field.
New YORK, Oct. 2z.-The Times
prints the following dispatch from
Key West:
News received here to-day states
that Gen. Maceo has by forced marches
reached the province of Matanzas, and
that last Monday, with 5000 Cubans.
he engaged cavalry force of $500
Spaniards in the San Juan valley.
Early in the morning the insurgent
outposts brought news of the approach
of the Spanish cavalry. Gen. Maceo
at once placed his army in position to
receive the enemy. A hollow square
was formed and force of LOCO men
placed in ambush. The Spanish forces,
unaware of the presence of the enc
my, marched into the trap OF death, and
were only apprised of their perilous
position when the insurgents opened
fire upon them.
The Spaniards made brave fight,
but. owing to the thickness of the for
est and the Doggy condition of the val
ley. were greatly Handicapped. After
a struggle of four hours the Spanish
troops were forced to retreat, leaving
500 men dead on the field e
The insurgents secured all the arms
and ammunition OF the Spaniards.
This battle is the most important fight
since the breaking out of the revolu-
ton. The Cuban colony here is wild
with joy.
Private advices confirm the report
OF the landing of an expedition in
Cuba under the leadership of Col.
GARLIC. The expedition was landed at
Boco del Toro. October 81, and con-
sisted of forty-eight men, seventeen
pieces of artillery and two Calling
guns. This is part of the expedition
which was recently seized at Whining.

STILL ON THE INCREASE.
Exports and Manufactures Growing Unde
the Wilson Tariff.

Exports and Manufactures GEowinf Under
the Wilson Tariff
AT the risk of infringing on their pa
thence we must again ask: What have
our high tariff friends to say now of the
effect of the Wilson bill on the manu-
featuring business Of this country? Are
they still of the opinion that American
mills and factories will not be able to
meet European competition in their
home territory? The new law has been
in force about a year, and what is the
result? The cotton mills of New Eng
land and the south are all running. The
weekly output of our iron furnaces has
for a couple of months been larger than
it was at any period under the McKin-
ley bill. The iourmills of the country
are buster now than they ever were
before. Our woodworking establish
ments are behind in their work and
steel manufacturers have orders enough
ahead to keep them busy for months.
The same is true of our wooden mills,
tobacco factories and manufacturing
establishments generally.
Trade has been stimulated and manu-.
facturers are exceptionally busy in con-
sequence. They have been able to
meet European competition, not only
in the United States, but in other
countries as well, and even in Europe.
Our exports of manufactures have been
increasing steadily for several months.
The only exception was in June.
They were smaller that month than in
May, but larger than in any other
month of the year. They were larger,
too, than in June, 1894. From little
over s12, OO0, 600 in February-aboutt the
same as in the corresponding month OF
last year-they have increased steadily
month by month, not counting May,
when our foreign trade was so excep-
tionally heavy that increase in the sue
ceeding month could not be looked for.
The official report for August shows
a gain that month of about 80, 800, 900
over the sales of our surplus manufac-
turers in the corresponding month OF
last year. As stated in that dispatch,
our exports for the year to September
amounted to 1920 40, 1854, as compared
with $11S,O5O, 145 in the first eight
months of 1894. II the same percent
age of increase is kept up to the end OF
the year. the total for 1895 will foot mp
nearly s195, 600, 900, or $4,000, 0oo more
than our exports of manufactures in
the best fiscal year of the Mckinley
period.
Our manufacturers certainly have nc
reason to complain of the results OF
democratic legislation on the tariff.
They have been benefited and so have
their customers and the country in
general. ST. Louis Republic.

RoME, Oct. 25.-Rumors of the con-

Politicians will recall the story of a

Signor Crispi declared that once the
cardinals and the pope went out OF
Italy, the government would occupy
the vatican.
