HAVANA, Dec. 23.-Official adyices
from Colon OF the engagements with
the insurgents convey the impression
that they were of much Importance.
General Navarro, who was reported as
leaving Colon for the relief Of the Span
ish forces, encountered the insurgents
at the plantation Ajava. Here fierce
fight occurred and the insurgents were
dispersed with heavy loss. The number
of soldiers killed was IL. General Ma
varro again went in pursuit and at
Banaguizs the insurgents attacked him
with great impetuosity. The troops
made brave defense. General Pratt
made forced march to cut off the re-
treat Of the insurgents.
The Dieromen battalion under Gen.
eral Asturial with artillery has attacked
Gomez and force of 1000 insurgents.
The troops made the attack with the
bayonet eight times and this combined
with the artillery fire swept the insur-
gents position, proved effective and the
rebels fed before the advance of the
troops. The insurgents left % killed
and prisoners on the field and 70
wounded .....

SITUATION IMPROVING.
The Times Correspondent Gives Hi
Reasons For Thinking So.

The Times Correspondent Gives His
Reasons For Thinking So.
LONDON, Dec. 23.-The New York
correspondent of The Times says: Per-
haps because Of financial disasters, per-
haps because Of war talk and of the
widening conviction that persistence in
the present policy may deepen into war,
perhaps for other reasons, there is a
sensible improvement in the situation.
The lessons of Friday and Saturday
have not been lost. The people Of the
United States are millions of dollars
poorer than they were last Tuesday,
when the president launched his mes
sage and menace of war.
He says of the second message: sIt
has not in truth been well received
The incredible cynicism of the message
has angered the community which well
knows that it's present distress is di.
rectly traceable to the president 3
policy"
He also dwells upon the confusion of
mind which he sees in congress over
the course to take in regard to the finan-
cial situation and he intimates a belief
that the supporters of the president in
congress have been alienated from sup
port of his Venezuelan policy by his
second message.

President Adams Not. Taking.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 23.-President
Adams will not say whether he will re-
sign or not if the State Teachers asso.

criticise his management Of the univer.
sity. Adams will be present at the
meeting, and read paper on the rela-
tions Of the preparatory schools to the
university, but whether he will revert
to the Peterson attack on him is not
known. A local regent and the local
public generally think he has already
been too much dignified by attention to
his attacks.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-The Times prints
whole page of dispatches on the sub
ject of Venezuela. A dispatch from
Ottawa says: One result of the war
scare will be in the thorough equipment
Of the Canadian forces. The country
will not be satisfied until all are armed
with the Lee Metford rifles. 1t is graft
flying to note that the scare seems to
have drawn Canada closer than ever to
England. Everywhere the firm deter
mination is proposed to hold by the old
flag, come what may.
A Vienna dispatch says: President
Cleveland is in no small measure re-

but the New York panic gave its coup
de grace from which it will take months
to recover.

Street Car Strike at Philadel-

Several Conferences Between
Opposing Factions With

Strikers Get Public Sympathy
and Large Cash Con-
tributions.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 23.-The strike
situation is apparently unchanged, but
the air is full of all kinds of rumors.
No attempt was made to run cars dur.
ing the day. Many conferences were
held on both sides, but no statements
were given out. The strikers had uni
formed men in all parts of the city
soliciting subscriptions from door to
door, and it is said that the aggregate
collections run into high figures.
At the West Philadelphia station Of
the Market street line small army Of
new men are confined. They were
New England cities to take the places
Of the strikers. Soon after their arrival
one man
Became Dissatisfied and Left.
To the strikers he said all the men
would leave but they, were practically
prisoners. They claim they were led
to believe they were to open new
trolley line here and upon learning the
truth became disgusted and wanted to
leave but were not permitted.
President Welch has issued a state
ment to the public. 1t reiterates the
company's determination to ignore any
outside organization and lays the blame
Of the strike and its consequences upon
parties who had no connection with the
company. Mr.. Welch rehearses the
events of the past few days deploring
the violence and explaining the inabil-
ity of the company to discharge the
1000 new men they have taken on
since the strike began.
Contributions for Strikers.
The strike leaders assert that fully
100000 people have promised not to
ride on the cars of the company and
have contributed to the funds solicited.
Between $1,000 and 5000 had been
realized up to midnight and contribu-
tions were still coming In.
The conference with General Man.
ager Beetem lasted four hours. Then
the committee of employees returned to
headquarters and went into session
with the executive committee of the
Amalgamated association and President
McMahon.

Firm Stand Against Parochial Schools

WINNIPEG, Man, Dec. 23.-Premier
Greenway and his cabinet, who have
been in executive session for two days
considering the reply to the second
demand of the Dominion government
in regard to the restoration of Roman
Catholic parochial schools, concluded
their deliberations during the evening.
The reply will be in the hands of Lord
Aberdeen, the governor general, and
Premier Bowell's cabinet by Tuesday
next.
Premier Greenway and his ministers
decline to make the contents of the
document known, but without doubt
the reply reaffirms the determination of
the Manitoba government not to restore
Roman Catholic schools and firmly re-
fuses to enter into any compromise.

British Press Continues to De-

His Letter.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-Sir A. K. Rollit,
Conservative member of parliament for
the south division of Islington and
president of the London, Hull and AS
sociated chambers Of commerce, granted
an interview on the outlook in the
Venezuelan question, especially re-
specting the financial side. After re-
marking that it was delicate and
critical position, he said "It is deeply
to be regretted that the incident has
imperiled both the good will and trade,
and even peace and commerce must in
any case be most seriously interrupted
and injured just at the time when pros
poets were improving and business men
were justly hoping for better times -
Not an Extension of Territory.
He did not question the American at
tachment to the Monroe doctrine or
that it was sanctioned by good reasons
from their point Of view. But, after
all, he said, it was only an ex parte
dictum and had never been embodied
in international law. The feeling
which inspired it, he thought, was in
telligible, but in the true sense of the
doctrine Great Britain could not justly
be said to desire an extension of terri
tory in seeking q delimitation of her
frontier, or in insisting on a recognition
of what she believes to be her rights by
state greatly indebted to her for the
development of her public works.
War May BE Preferable to Peace.
He relied on the good sense and COM
mercial instincts and interests of both
people to discover a friendly and hon.
orable solution. In this respect the
gentleman thought the projected meet
ing of the New York chamber of COM
merce would speak for peace. Certainly
anything honorable, and not an indig-
nifty, was preferable to war between
kindred nations. But Americans must
remember that Great Britain, too, had
doctrines and feelings, and in the last
resort even war might be preferred to
peace. Either nation, however, ought
to yield force to right, rather than

Senators Will Wait Until the Lower
Body Takes Action.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-The course of
the senate this week will depend largely
if not entirely upon the turn which
affairs take in the house. In the event
that the house should adjourn over the
holidays. the senate will be ready to ac-
quiesce as Q majority of the senators
are still unquestionably favorable to the
usual holiday recess. The probabili-
ties point strongly to the absence of a
quorum the greater part of the week in
case no recess is taken. The
calendar contains only. one bill
Of general Importance and not
to exceed half O dozen minor bills.
Consequently there is little prospect of
actual legislation in any event. 1t is,
therefore, more than probable that
whatever sessions are held will be de-
voted largely to speechmaking. If the
house should hold over a financial or
revenue bill there would be no possibil-
ity of receiving report upon it for
some time, but such measure might
afford q matter for informal speeches.

BUFFALO, Mimi, Dec. 23.-In the
district court here the case of Allen
Gilmer, charged with running blind
pig, was tried. Several witnesses were
examined. They had bought whisky,
but were unable to swear positively
whether it was Allen Gilmer or his
twin brother Archie who sold it. The
Gilmer twins resemble each other so
closely that their most intimate friends
are unable to distinguish them. Besides
being perfect image, one of the other,
they talk alike, dress alike, walk alike,
and it is very doubtful if their own
mother can tell which is Archie and
which is Allen. ..

A False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is confounded by many persons
with severe attack of catarrh. which in some
respects resembles the former. These indi-
viduals suffer severely with pain about the
forehead, eyes and ears, with soreness in
throat and stoppage of the nasal passages, and
in fact are incapacitated for work of any
kind for days at time. These are catarrhal
sufferers. Ely's Cream Balm has been used
with The best results in such cases. The
remedy will give instant relief
