Havana, December 30.-There is still
much uncertainty regarding the move
ments of the insurgents. According TO
the official reports they are in full re-
treat and it has even been intimated
that Gomez was making for Cienfuegos
with the intention of capturing that
seaport. But the announcement made
to-day would seem to show that Gomez
is still in the vicinity OF Jaguey Grande
south of Colon and in the province Of
Matanzas. Lieut.. Col. Perera COM
manding the Navarro battalion num-
bering about $50 men was engaged with
the insurgents near Calimel not far
from Jaguey Grande, yesterday. The
fighting is said to have been very fierce
and the Spaniards are reported TO have
sustained the fire of vastly superior
numbers of insurgents commanded by
Gomez. The troops are reported to
have captured the insurgent positions
and to have obliged the enemy to di-
vide his forces. The insurents are said
to have lost heavily, while on the gov
eIIueuI Sue Ouly OIc OliCGI anu uNo
soldiers were killed and sixty wounded.
About an hour after this engage
ment the sound of cannonading was
heard in the direction of the Mira
plantation, about three miles from CAL
incl and it is supposed that Gomez has
been engaged with the Spanish column
commanded by Col Molineau.
No details of this engagement has
reached here.
Later in the day it was stated that
the troops lost 10 men killed in the
fight with the insurgents near Gina
rones.
A most uneasy feling prevails now.
1t is believed that serious fighting has
taken place near Calimete and that
the meagre facts made public do not
bein to tell the tale. The telegraph
lines connecting with Guareiras and
Macuirjes (Corralhso) in the district
where Gomez is supposed to be, and
where fighting Is reported to have TAX
en- place, are interrupted!
News during the day indicates that
the insurgents still overrun pretty
much the whole Of the proyince of Ma
tanzas. They have burned the village
of Gavilan near the coast.

How People We're Bled.

The following extract from a letter
written by DR.. Rush of Philadelphia
published in New York, april IL, 1885 is
reminiscent of the Spartan treatment to
which our ailing ancestors submitted
themselves In the primitive days OF
American medicine: "a disease called
the pleurisy has proved fatal to many
people in Philadelphia. 1t appears TO
be continuation of the bilious remit
tent fever of last autumn, accompanied
only with pleuritic symptoms. which
symptoms are by no means universal
1t requires not only very copious bleed
ing. but daily purges with calomel and
jalop to subdue it. By means of these
remedies l have, out of upward Of 100
cases, lost only two patients, and they
were in the last stages of the disorder
when / saw them. l have in one case
been forced to take I20 ounces of blood
at thirteen bleedings in eight days be-
fore the disease yielded, and in another
case have taken thirty ounces OF blood
at four bleedings in seventeen hours.
The pulse in the last case was so low as
scarcely to be perceptible. 1t rose in the
most sensible manner after each bleed
ing. The patient, delicate lady, is now
out of danger. From observations have
long ago made, and which experience
has lately confirmed. ] am satisfied that
when physicians are not almost uni.
formly successful in curing febrile dis
eases, they are under the influence of er-
roneous theories, or ii their theories be
true, their practice is TOO feeble to over
come the disease. e."-Kinderhook Rough

Millions In If

The site Of the Bank of England bears
an estimated annual value of e7O. 600.
This sum, If capitalized at per cent.
would represent gross value of e., 1O0,-
600. Estimating the buildings. vaults,
printing and weighing machines, etc.,
at t4OO,O0O more, it will be seen that the
'planr' of the bank must be worth over
Sl2,O0O,0OO. Add to this the average
amount of bullion, coin, securities and
unlssued notes usually held, and you
have the gigantic sum of se12O, coo, 900
sterling, or 5000, 000, 900. all heaped on a

CATION Of actual and potential wealth

In it's early days the bank employed
flfty-four clerks, and the yearly salary
list amounted to 4f.30O, the chief ac-

AT the present time the total number of
employees ls about 800, the salary and

uted Is equal to 10 per cent. on the orig
