MEAcER NEWS OF BIG FIGHT

EXPEDITION.

New YORK, July 23.-A Key West,
Fla, dispatch says: Sensational re-
ports in regard to Cuban matters were
brought by passengers on the steamer
Mascotte, which arrived here from Ha-
vana late tonight. According to the
passengers, q special Car, closely COW
cred, arrived in Havana on the 18th.
Some one was taken from it and
ried to the palace surrounded by q
strong guard of soldiers. The report
is current in Havana and generally be-
lieved that the person was Capt. Gen.
Campos and that he is suffering from
serious wounds received in the battle
Bayamo, in which Gen. S~antocilides
killed. The most sensational
stories are afloat in Havana in regard
to this battle. 1t is admitted there
that the Spaniards we're defeated with
great slaughter, 1t is generally be-
lieved from the meager information
received that the Spaniards lost 1000
men in this battle. The insurgents
had $500 men and the Spanish troops
numbered 1900.
TAMPA, Fla, July 2l.-Passengers
from Cuba and private letters an
ounce that Gen. Campos is wounded
and beseiged in Rayamo. The Spanish
papers state that besides Santocilides
various other offices also fell and it is
rumored that of them is the son
of Campos. Passengers claim that q
railway car arrived in..Havana closed
SO that no one knew its contents.
Some say the q contained Campos
and others maintain it holds the holds
body of his son. An engagement is
reported near Santo Spiritus between
1O7 Spaniards with numerous insur-
gent forces. After an hour and q half
the insurgents surrounded the Spanish
forces. The official report mentions
the bravery of the Cuban forces, the
first time this has ever been done. The
details are not given, so the losses are
unknown.

Campos Had = Close Cali.

HAVANA, July 21.-Further details
are constantly coming to light con
corning the action between the in
surgents and the column of Marshal
Martinez de Campos between Man
zanillo and Bayamo on July IL. The
more that is known of the action the
more it is seen that the captain GEN
eral and his forces were in a position
of extreme peril and that it was only
by the personal leadership and mill
tary skill of Marshal de Campos him
self that the day was saved and made
an especially glorious action for the
Spanish army.
Marshal de Campos left Manzanillo
July IL for Bayamo, accompanied by
fifty cavalry. He arrived at Veguitas,
about half way between the two towns,
at two o'clock in the afternoon and re-
ceived an enthusiastic reception there.
He united the column of Santocildes
with LOO troops of the regiment of
Isabe Catolice and three companies of
engineers and guerrillas. In Carruana
he received notice of the presence of
the insurgents to the number Of 5000
in Valenzuela, near Datila and Guey-
otto. The commanders we're Antonio
Maceo, Rabbi and Masso.
At 8 o'clock the insurgents were
seen on the farm of San Francisco.
The troops advancing we're commanded
by Gen. Santocildes. He was at the
front and received two shot wounds.
Still he ordered the advance to con-
tinue, when he received q third ball in
the head.
Captain General de Campos then
took command. Saban Perulejo, with
1900 Of the insurgents cavalry charged
upon the Spanish forces. Gen. Cam
pos Immediately formed q square,
making q great heroic defense against
the fierce attack. He ordered mules
and horses killed. and with them and
with the baggage Of the troops he
formed barricades to Obstruct the in
surgent cavalry charges. The latter
were not able to resist the firing of the
Mauser rifles in the hands Of the
Spaniards and commenced to waver.
Gen. Campos' military experience
admonished him to take advantage of
OF this weakness, and he Immediately
charged with cavalry, while the in
fantry attacked with bayonets and
routed the insurgents, who divided
into bands and dispersed.
Gen. Campus made his way for
ward and arrived at 8 O'Clock at night
at BavamO. He was enthusiastically
received. The troops lost besides
Gen. Santocildes thirteen officers dead
and wounded, seventy soldiers killed
and about 100 wounded. The insur-
gents lost 500 dead or wounded.
Brig. Gen. Rabi, Col. Machado and
Maj. Moncado were killed. Among
the wounded we're Capt. Ramirez and
two chiefs OF q lower grade. No
official news Of the engagement has
been received yet.

Filibustsring Expedition.

bound on what is believed to be q
Cuban flibustering expedition. She

Columbia at the peak and the French

is that she will lay to somewhere

BITTER COUNTY SEAT FIGHT.
Plan TO Carve Two New Counties Out q
Holt, In Nebrasks.

Plan to Carve Two New Counties Dat Of
Holt, In Nebrasks.
O'NEILL, Neb., July 2.-Holt county
is now involved in q county seat fight
of more than usual malignity and
bitterness. The old maps of Nebraska
show that Holt county extended to
the South Dakota line, but q few
years ago the upper part was separated
from the other at Niobrara river, and
the upper part is called Boyd county.
But Holt county is still q very large
county, and q movement has been on
foot for sometime to divide it again
into two or three counties. 1t Is now
in area larger than the state Of Della
ware and is nearly MS large as Con-
necticut. At . meeting OF the board
OF supervisors held recently it was
decided to submit to the voter prop
ositions for the formation of Holcomb
county and Elkhorn county. The
former takes in the extreme west and
the latter the extreme south end of
the county. OF the former Stuart
would be the county seat and Ewing
OF the l0CCeT.
The people of Atkinson, q town
twenty-iv miles west of O,Neill,
county seat OF Holt, are very much
wrought up over the affair. They
allege that it was q scheme of the
towns Of Stuart, Ewing and O'Neill to
get themselves all county seats. They
allege that the boundary line OF Hol-
comb county was thrown to the west
of that town so that it would be SO
far from the center OF both HolcOmb
and the new Holt county that it would
never be able to get the county seat.
They have gone to the supreme court
and asked for q reversal Of this judy
ment Of the board Of supervisors on
the ground that their action was
fraudulent and that the committee
appointed to make the proposition
destroyed several hundred names
which were remonstrants against the
petitions Of both these counties.
A brief has been nlsd with tho
supreme court and = hearing will be
given In q short time. The populiste
have = majority Of the board Of
supervisors, and are responsible for
the actions Of the board. Under the
new arrangement proposed By tho
board, the new Holt county will have
about twice the population Of both
Holcomb and Elkhorn combined.

| Seriousness by statesman of Senator
| Palmer's rank and ability, it merits seri-
Gus consideration. There never can be in
any country having representative Gov
ernment more than two great parties, and
there must always be two. at the present
| time in the United States there is such a
/ condition of affairs that the only parties
having any consistency are the Republi-
cans and the Populists. These parties
/ differ radically in aims and methods, but
each OF them has definite policy and a
basis for unity of action. On the other
hand Democracy has no policy, and is in
capable Of uniting to take action on any
measure. This fact was clearly shown dur
ing the last Congress. 1t is evident also in
the wrangling among the leaders OF the
party to-day and will be even more con-
spicueus when the National Convention
assemblies.
Without discipline and without policy
no party has reason for existence. De-
mocracy can justify its presence in our
politics only on the grounds of tradition
and descent. 1t may have been a party in
times past but it certainly has no element
OF party vitality to-day. 1t is divided on
every issue before the country. There is
no agreement even among the leaders on
the tariff, On the money question or on
Cleveland's foreign policy. No severer
things have ever been said about either
wing of the Democracy than were said by
the other wing. Why should sensible
men attempt to keep up an organization
when they are not agreed as to what the
organization is to do? Why should they
persist in trying to act together when they
have not a single aim in common and can
not discuss single political issue without
wishing to fight?
1t has been written, "a house divided
against itself cannot stand" The Demo
cratic party has long been divided against
itself and is now falling asunder. The
strife between the German faction and the
Wilson faction over the tariff bill split the
organization, but for the time being the
leaders were able TO patch it up by COM
promise. Clevelandism and the money
question, however, have created divisions
too great TO be healed. No one would be
surprised to see the National Convention
of the party break up as it did at Charles
ton in 1860 and put two candidates in the
field. Certainly Senator Palmer's ques-
ton is timely and the answer to it is
simple: 'It is not worth while to main
tain the Democratic party"
