Cuban Insurgents Proceeding in
Three Columns.

Cuban Insurgents Proceeding in
Three Columns.
A special courier from Gen. Maceo's COM
mand arrived at Key West, Fla, Sunday
night. He reports the Cuban army as
marching toward Matanzas IN three col
umns; one in the south, under Jose La
crete and Suarez, with 1000 men; another
in the north. under Maceo. with 1900 men.
The center column, under Gen. Gomez,
has G.0O0 men. Each column has two field
pieces of modern artillery. The extreme
vanguard, 1000 men, is commanded by
Brigadier Francisco Perez, and the rear
guard of 1000 men is under Quintin Ban
dera. In Gen. GomeZs first engagement at
Maetiempo with Col. Argon, detached eX-
pressly TO detain the formers march, the
Spanish loss was $40 dead.
Up to the time the steamer left Havana
nothing had been heard of the two COM
panies of the battalion of Canariss. 1t is
supposed they fell into the insurgents
hands. Manacias was occupied for three
days by the insurgents, who, upon leaving,
destroyed the town. Gen Maceo was at
La Jos when the latest reports concerning
him had been received. When the steamer
left Havana Saturday at noon fierce bat

ANOTHER BRITISH CLAIM.
FOrty-Sfx Thousand Dollars for As
sault on the Dawson Family.

special from Lincoln. Neb, says: Gov.
Holcomb today received a letter from Sec
rotary Olney inclosing the request Of the
British ambassador for $4,000, growing
out of the assault on the English family
Of Dawsons in Nebraska by the McCarty
outlaw gang. The Dawsons claim their
property was damaged to that extent by
the alleged outlaw band. The claim in Ne
braska is regarded not only Ridiculous
but absurd. All the property the Dawsons
had at the tina was contained in a small
wagon drawn by two bronchos, and the
outfit probably worth 5000. They were at
tempting to trade horses with Vic McCar-
thy, a Nebraska tough and the leader of a
gang Of ruffians. A free fight resulted, in
which the Dawsons soundly thrashed the
McCarthys, who sought safety in flight.
That ended the incident.

Yesterday, in Judge Kimballs court, there
We're two persons charged under the liquor
laws with conducting "speak-easies." One
of them was John 7. Cody, resident Of
RuplivIlle, near the Soldiers Home. His
house was visited by Policeman Murphy,
who found a small supply of liquid refresh
ments. Cody was employed in the surgeon
generals office a number of years. When
the case was called Lawyer Sillers, his coun-
sci, was granted a continuation. and Cody
was surrendered by his bondsman.
William Newman, a colored man, who
lives in South Washington, was the other
defendant. Sergeant Daley and Policeman
Schneider raided his house. Witnesses told
of the mixture of whisky. sugar and water
they had purchased in the place, while some
of them only had plain whisky.
Newman was held guilty and fined $3.50 or
ninety DAYS.

My little child comes to my knee.
And, Juggling, pleads that he may climb
Into my lap to hear he tell
The Christmas tale beloved SO well
A tale my mother told ppFi
Beginning Once upon u time
1t is a tale of skies that rang
With angel rhapsodies sublime;
VI that grent host, serene and white
The shepherds saw one winter night:
And of the glorious stars that sang
An anthem once upon a time.
This story of the hallowed years
Tells of the sacrifice sublime
OF One who prayed alone and wept
While His wearied followers slept:
And how His blood and Mary's tears
Commingled once upon a time
And now my darling at my side,
And echoes Of the distant chime
Bring that sweet story back TO me
OF Bethlehem and Calvary,
And of the gentle Christ that died
For sinners, once upon d time.
The mighty deeds that men have told
In ponderous tones of fluent rhyme
Like misty shadows fade away;
But this sweet story bides for aye;
And, like the stars that sang of old,
We sing Of Once upon IA time

doctrine means, first, the safety of the
United States and. secondarily, the pro-
lection Of this hemisphere from European
oppression. But our safety is assured be-

trine that boundary disputes of an ancient

Discussed by CIergymen.

At the united ministers meeting at New
Haven, Conn, yesterday the policy of Pres
ident Cleveland on the Venezuelan matter
was discussed and a committee was ap-
pointed to draft a resolution to be presented
at the meeting next Monday. The members
of the committee are Rev. Frank N. Luck
ey. Rev. d. n. Griffin and Rev F. W. c.
Meyer.
Mr.. Luckey and Mr.. Griffin Sunday preach
ed sermons condemning Mr.. Cleveland's
policy, SO 1t can be inferred what the nature
of this resolution will be.
Mr.. Griffin said the country needs better
statesmen and better Newspapers for the
policy advocated by many now is dangerous
to the morals of American youth and is
national rowdyism.

Not the Monroe Doctrine.

Henry George was the next speaker. He
said in part: What reason is there for this
war talk? l believe in the Monroe doctrine
and have stood for it. This, however, is not
the Monroe doctrine, and what Grover Cleve-
land calls the Monroe doctrine is but a
travesty on it, and utter absurdity.
Il do not believe Cleveland used demo-
cratic methods with his message, and
hardly think he even presented it to his cabi-
net"
Cries Of Yes, he did," and mo, he did
not" came from all quarters Of the hall
Mr.. George continued: "Our business is to
mind our own business! If we want to in
terfere in anything let as do it where there
Is a principle at stake! The advocates of
this war scare do not mean war They are
playing at politics. rH
Charles Frederick Adams denounced Pres
ident Cleveland and his Venezuelan message
severely. His remarks were received with
a storm of Kisses.
Rev. w. G. Bliss, a socialist advocate of
Boston, and F'ranklyn Pierce also made short
addresses.
At the conclusion of the last address the
secretary read a letter from DR.. r. Heber
Newton, protesting against war, and also
resolution which was put and voted for and
against In the same voice. 1t was declared
passed, however.
The resolution in substance Is that the

are appointed a committee to secure the
widest possible opinion to oppose the war

boundary-line question. Ernest H. Cros-
by presided. He spoke of the Monroe doc
trine as follows:
I'VE are here to assert all that stands for
the dignity of the American people and to
counterfeit the froth at the mouth that has
become epidemic and have taken hold of the
people. We are here to protest against the
errors of the President of these United
States" prolonged Kisses and applause)

The tunnult that followed seemed for the
moment as if it would break up the meeting.
Cries of put him out" get OUT and the
like were heard from all parts of the hail.
Meantime the Kisses and applause continued.
Just as quiet had been restored the speaker
continued
What is the Monroe doctrine? 1t is not
the doctrine of Monroe. it is not the doc
trine of Grover Cleveland. 1t is the doctrine
as interpreted in American history. When
l was investigating Egypt 1 was scandal
lied to find that Egypt paid an annual trib-
ute of $3,oOOOOO annually, for which it re-
ceived no return from Turkey, to which 1T
was paid, and who was stealing 1t. In the
past we have not been much better off.
Have we not stolen California and Arizona?

Mr.. Crosby went on from this to declare

ORIGIN OF THE SICK MAN"
How Turkey Gained That Title So Suited
to Her.

to Her.
1t was the first Emperor Nicholas of
Russia who described Turkey as the "sick
man"
On the night of the 9th of January,
1858, Sir Hamilton Seymour, minister of
Great Britain at st. Petersburg, was at a
party in the palace of the Archduchess
Helen. There Nicholas said to him: "The
affairs of Turkey are in very disorganized
condition. The country itself seems to be
falling to pieces. The fall will be great
misfortune, and it is very important that
England and Russia should come to per-
t93tly good understanding upon these af-
fairs and that neither should take any de-
cisive step without the consent of the 9TH
err" The English minister answered that
this was certainly his view of the way in
which the Turkish question should be
treated. Nicholas then said, as if continu-
ing his previous remarks: "Stay; we have
on our hands sick mana very sick
man. 1t will be, tell you frankly, great
misfortune if one of these days he should
slip away from us, especially before all
necessary arrangements are made"
This is the origin of the phrase that be-
came extended into "the sick man of Eu-
rope" On later occasion the emperor
speaking to the same minister said:
Turkey has by degrees fallen into such
state of decrepitude that, as told you the
other night eager as we all are for the
prolonged existence of the mainland shat
l am as DESTROYS as you can be for the con-
tinuance of his life beg you to believe
he may suddenly die upon our hands. -
