leans in China.

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. 1S95.-Appre-
hension at the State and Navy Depart
ments over the safety of American mis-
sionaries in China. has been greatly al
layed through the receipt of several Of
fetal dispatches containing reassuping IN
formation, leading to the belief among
those officially concerned that native out
breaks against foreigners have ceased for
the present at least. Minister DENLY has
secured a promise of redress for OUT
RACES in the past and future protection
of American missionaries: and Rear Ad-
,niral Carpenter commanding the United

action looking to the relief of the anxiety
of Americans in the Chinese seaports by
providing adequate means of suppressing
any further outbreak.

ANOTHER PH0NoGRAPH FIGHT.
United Company Seeks to Enjofn tFit
North American COMPANY.

Another phase of the fight between
the Edison Phonograph Companies
cropped out this afternoon in CnaTcery
Chambers before Counsellor z. @. Keas-
bey. VINO asked Vice Chancellor Emery
to restrain Receiver John r. Hardin of
the North American Phonograph Com
pany from selling monographs within
the territory of the Edison United Phono-
graph Company.
When Mr.. Edison sold certain patents
to the two companies It was understood
by agreements made with the Wizard"
that one company had the sole right to
seM Photographs within the United
States and Canada, while the other had
the rest of the world. They divided the
universe between them. Now the United
Company says the receiver of the North
American Company is violating these
agreements and asks that he be pernla-
glently restrained from so doing
MIR Hardin, in opposing the injunction,
attacked the validity CT the agreement,
and declared that even If they were ad-
nifted they had not broken them. The
argument occupied all the afternoon
when the Vice Chancellor took the
DaDerS.

CUBAN BOAS4FULuBSS.
Insurgents Own All the Earth
Except the Negro
Majority.

QUARANTINE, S. l., Aug. y 1886
The Ward line steamer Seneca, from
Mexican and Cuban ports arrived
early this morning at Quarantine.
One of the Havana passengers, in
speaking of the affairs at that place,
says that on Aug. II, the day before
the Seneca sailed. Capt. General. Marti-
nez Campos called together all the vol
unteer organizations and demanded the
transfer to the army of one hundred
men from each company. General in
diGnaticn prevails among these organi-
cations. but the order will be enforced.
The insurrection is more widespread than
residents OF Havana are allowed to
lieve. and Campos will not last long.
He was caught in bad trap at Bayamo
and but for the impulsive action of the
Cuban general Maceo who precipitated
his attack. Campos would have certainly
been captured. The insurgents win
in every fight. In the past four months
the Spanish forces have lost by dis
ease. drunkenness and killed in battle
fully 1900 men. No reports are allowed
to be circulated concerning losses in
battle. but the authorities admit that in
this period 10000 have died from dis
ease or excessive indulgence in food or
drink. Thirty thousand insurgents are
known to be in the field overruning the
country and making their camps in the
mountain Businesses, from whence they
sally to strike a blow and return to
camp. depending on their rapid move
ments to disconcert the enemy. The gen
tlernan went on. 81 have asked the
sympathizers OF the revolution, of whom
there are about 5000 in the city and
suburbs of Havana, why they do not
capture Santiago or some other i'm
portant city. This they claim they could
do. but their plans as to the future would
not permit. That is to say a large ma
jority of the inhabitants of Cuba are
Negroes and independence would mean
negro government. If independence
could be secured with the establishment
of a protectorate under the United States
or some other strong government, then
the question would soon be settled. Fail
