WHERE is CAMPOS

INSURGENTS MEAN BUSINESS.
Prepared to Ruin the Whole
Country to Defeat the
Enemy.

LONDON, July 24.-The Times Ha-
vana correspondent telegraphs as fol.
lows: Since the news of the death of
General Santocildes ON July II, the au-
thorities have had no news Of Captain
General Martinez de Campos, despite
repeated inquiries to Santa de Cuba
and other points. Great fear that a
general uprising has taken place in the
province of Matanzas, which has been
in restless condition. The defeat of
the Spanish troops, when Santocildes
was killed, has given an impetus to the
revolution, especially in the province
of Santiago de Cuba, where the iron
miners have joined the rebels.
Ihave seen a letter from General
Maxine Gomez explaining his reasons
for the proclamation forbidding work
On the plantations for the supply Of
provisions to the town. He says that
while Spain obtains sufficient revenue
from Cuba to pay her soldiers the off,
cials will continue to rule. When the
revenue ceases they will retire. This
practically means that the insurgents
are prepared to ruin the whole country
in order to force Spain's hands.

FIRED TWO SHOTS.
Spanish Man-of-War Gets the
Drop on an american
Schooner.
WAS INSIDE CUBAN WATERS.
One of Her Crew Narrowly
Escapes Being Hit by
the Ball.

BREAKwATER, Del, July 25.-Cap-
tain Quick Of the American schooner
Carrie E. Lane, on his arrival here had
a tale to tell about thrilling encoun-
ter in Cuban waters with Spanish
gunboat. Two shots were fired at the
Lane by the man of-war, and one Of the
schooner's crew narrowly escaped be-
ing killed by one Of them. The vessel
was made to heave to and give an ac-
count of herself before being allowed
to proceed.
The schooner was off Cape Antonio
on the 14th and making good time be-
fore stiff breeze, when she sighted a
steamer flying the Spanish flag follow
ing her. While the captain was max
ing up his mind as to the course to pur-
sue, puff of smoke curled up over the
steamers port bow, and round shot
Whistled Uncomfortably Close
to the schooner's mainmast and
plunged into the water On the lee quar-
ter. Captain Quick gave the order to
haul in sail and bring the vessel to.
While this was being done one of the
crew ran out on the bowsprit. AS he
stood there the gun on the Spanish
warship doomed again and another
shot sped on its way toward the Amer
ican craft, this time coming so close to
her that the sailman on the bowsprit
swears he distinctly felt the wind
caused by its rapid fight. The Lane
soon came to dead stop, and the gun
boat drew up under her quarter. A
boat was lowered and four Spanish
marines, under the command of a
lieutenant, came aboard.
They Were Fully Armed
and their leader very civily lifted his
hat and demanded to know from what
port the Lane had sailed, and whether
she was bound. Captain Quick gave
the required information and no fur
ther search was made and the vessel
was permitted to continue her course
without further molestation. Captain
Quick says that he could not get the
name Of the gunboat He adds that
after the first shot was fired at the
Lane, he caused the stars and stripes
to be hoisted at the peak, but the only
response the Spaniards made was a
second shot. Captain Quick has not
yet determined what action he will
take regarding the outrage.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The govern
ment officials here have received no in
formation regarding the firing on the
schooner Carrie E. Lane by Spanish
war vessel, off Port Antonio. The
general opinion of naval officers, who
read the report of Of the affair as de-
scribed by Captain Quick, is that the
Spaniard did not exceed his authority
in overhauling the schooner. If the
latter was in the territory of Cuba, the
Spanish government, it is held, is men,
aced by the danger of the landing of
filibustering expeditions on the Cuban
coast and in exerting itself to prevent
such landing. has a right to overhaul

Scheme for Consolidating the Northern

New YORK, July 25.-The proposed
consolidation of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern railway properties
is taking definite shape. notwithstand-
ing the failure of the early negotia-
tions. President Hill of the Great
Northern has been in daily conference
with j. Pierpont Morgan since Monday,
and it is stated on very good authority
that way has been found by which
consolidation may be effected. This
is nothing more nor less than scheme
to place the two companies under the
protection of New Jersey by throwing
them into the North American COM
pany OF which Henry Willard is presi-
dent. The charter of the North Amer
lean company is very elastic, and the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
could be readily absorbed by simply in
creasing the original capitalization.

Nero's Appearance.

In his youth Nero was remarkably
handsome, but early in manhood his
habits of dissipation made him exceed
ingly corpulent. To judge from his
medals and the descriptions left OF him
he must have weighed over 900 pounds.
His features were regular, but his eyes
we're so protuberant as to be almost a
deformity, and he was nearsighted, SO
much SO that he could not recognize his
acquaintances across the street.

Very Soon.

CHICAGO, July 25.-A special to The
Times Herald from Cheyenne, Wy,
says: Governor Richards has received
a telegram from the assistant secretary
of the interior notifying him that
Brigadier General Coppinger had been
ordered to proceed at once to the scene
OF the Indian troubles and to order
such movement of troops as may be
necessary to prevent a conflict between
the Indians and settlers. Later the
governor was advised by General Cop
pinger that four troops of cavalry had
been ordered from Fort Robinson,
Neb., to proceed to the jackson Hole
country to protect the settlers. AS it
will require at least three days to reach
jackson Hole with these troops, bat
tie between whites and Indians may be
fought before they can be of service.

as follows:

the whites have sufficient ammunition,
it is confidently expected they can
stand off the Indians until troops come
to their aid.
