lNSURGENT FORCES TO Be UNITED
Will Attack the Command Of Gen.
Campos.
LANDING OF FILIBUSTERS

MADRID, November 14.-Dispatches re-
gent leader Roloff Is at Sigunca, province
of Santa Clara, awaiting Maxine Gomez
at the head of force of insurgents and
with the intention of advancing upon the
city of Santa Clara, the headquarters of
Captain General Martinez de Campos, who
Is known to be preparing to give battle
to the combined insurgent forces. Campos
Is now on his way to Sigunca and a most
important engagement is expected.
Gomez recently changed his tactics, of at
tempting to tire out the Spanish troops,
ewing to the decision of the Cuban revolu-
tionary assembly in New York, which IS
understood to consider it urgent that the
Insurgents bring about decisive engage
ment with the troops in order that the rev.
olutonists may obtain recognition as bel
ligerents upon the part of the United States.
Four new gunboats have arrived in Cuban
waters to take part in the blockade of the
coast of that island.

MALsTER's NAME ANNOUNCED.
The Latest Candidate for Senator
GibsOn's Place.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
BALTIMORE, Md, November A.
Western Maryland republicans have been
In town in large numbers today, the ma
jority of them having come down to boom
Congressman Wellington for the senator
ship. From present indications 1t would ap
pear that the movement to make Yelling
ton Mr.. Gbson's successor will sweep aside
all opposition, and politicians of all degrees
seem to regard his success as unquestion-
ed. Mr.. Gary has determined to make no
fight for the place, and the opposition from
the eastern shore will be promptly over
whelmed.
new candidate in the person of Mr..
William T. Master is under discussion to-
day, and while that gentleman's wishes in
regard to the matter unknown. his
friends are agitatins mis- candidacy with
considerable vigor, and should he disclose
any senatorial ambitions the most formid-
able opposition to the Wellington boom
will come from Mr.. Master and his friends.
At present the contest lies between Well
irgton, Master and Charles II. Westcott,
the most prominent eastern shore aspirant,
with the chances greatly favorng Yelling
ten.
The friends of the candidates for a num-
Der of the more important places are dis
cussing their favorite's merits on all oc-
casions and some lively struggles may be
looked for.
Ex-ConSressman Sidney E. Mudd was in
town today and told The Star correspond
ent that his canvass for the speakership
was progressing satisfactorily, and the pre-
vailng impression is that he will be chosen
without much opposition.
Colonel B. F. Taylor of Baltimore has
announced his ambition to become adju-
tant general. This position has generally
been occupied by an ex-confederate soldier,
and 1t is believed that under republican
administration the place should be occu-
pied by an ex-federal. Colonel Taylor is
backed by the Grand Army interest in
Maryland. and will probably receive the
appointment.
There has been considerable discussion
today as to the ACCESSIBILITY of abolishing
the office held so long by Mr.. Rasin, in
stead of demanding that gentlemans resig-
nation. Should the Office be abolished its
duties will be imposed on the state treas
urer or the fire marshal and both officials
will have plenty of time to attend to such
additional obligations.
A movement is on foot among the Cor
man democrats in the state senate to COM
bine with the republicans and make Mr.. j.
Writ Randall of Anne Arundel president of
the senate. The German democrats are
bitter in their opposition to Senator
Bruce as presiding officer, and will do all

testing the will Of he sister, the late Mrs.
John F. Olmstesd, WI not resumed today
until 1 o'clock this afternoon, that one of
the jurors might ATTEND this morning the
funeral of a relatives.
The first witness called today was Miss
Ada Ball, the sister of Mrs. Webb's former
husband, who testified on behalf OF Mr.
Olmstead. the sole beneficiary under his
wife's WILL that the relations existing be-
tween Mr.. and Mrs. Olmstead were of an
afectionate and kind character. Mrs Olm-
stead seemed to feel very happy and Sc
cure in the affection of her husband, be-
cause of the great respect he showed TOT
the memory of his first wife
Mrs. Olmstead once told her that unless
her mother and sister showed more re-
spect for Mr.. Olmstead she would cease
visiting them. Mrs. Olmstead once com
planned that Mrs Webb had returned a
ring which she had sent at Christmas, 1854,
to her little niece. Mrs. OlmSteads mind
about the time the will was made, said the
witness. was perfectly clear.
The last time she saw Mrs. Olmstead
sad Miss Ball. was about three weeks be-
fore her death, and her mind was still per-
fectly clear
Miss Ball was cross examined by Mr.. r.
Ross Perry, who read a summary OF her
testimony on the first trial of the case, ana
asked her If she testified on The former trial
as to any statements made by Mrs Ohm
stead to her. MIR Henry l.. Davis objected,
claiming that the question was not fa1r tG
the witness, and that the testimony given
by her at the first trial SHOULD be intro
duced.
Judge Bradley sustained the objection

Miss Ball had identified her testimony he
offered it on behalf of Mrs. Webb, and
Miss Ball stated it did not contain any ref
erence to the statement made TO her by
Mrs OlmSte3d

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, November 14.-Lower prices
i'll London had the effect of temporarily
depressing local stock values during the in
itial trading this morning, but later opera
tons were almost uniformly at a higher
level. The market for foreign exchange
reflected an advance of Ia per cent over
yesterdays rates, and a liberal outflow of
gold is again imminent. The supply of all
| classes of commercial drawings is small
and totally inadequate to the needs OF re-
mitters In view of this condition, the reg
ulir drawers of exchange will be forced to
resort to the unpopular eXpedient of for
warding coin to meet obligations.
Heretofore the outflow has not originated
in the needs of the regular foreign bankers,
but present circumstances are likely to
force them into the movement unless our
exports increase materially within the next
few days The advance in the market, in
view of this unpromising outlook, is gen.
orally regarded as a professional movement
OF only temporary continuance
The advancing tendency originally pro-
duced by the liquidation of short contracts
has attracted moderate buying by commits
sion houses, but there is nothing so radical
iy changed in market conditions as to war
rant the reaction in sentiment, unless the
original movement was entirely unwar-
ranted.
by railroad earnings is decidedly discour-
aging to the believers in lower prices. but
the continued excess Of federal expendi-
lures over receipts establishes an equilib-
rum in this particular. The latter condi-
ton will undoubtedly ne remeGied and the
former will be perpetuated in consequence
and conservative buying will eventually re-
fleet the more satisfactory results.
Manhattan was again the feature of the
railroad list. sharp decline of l Is per
cent following liberal selling early in the
day, but subsequent trading for both ac-
counts forced fractional gain from the
opening level.
The Changers, Burlington and Rock Island
in particular, were active at substantial
gains. The street Is evidently disposed to
favor this group when the long account is
being provided for.
The industrial issues were active and
higher, as the result of room ,rading.
Sugar was again advanced, presumably to
reduce still further the following of small
operators, whose presence might defeat the
main scheme at a critical period later on.
Chicago Gas and Tennessee Coal and Iron
were marked up under operations for both
accounts. but We're indifferen;ly supported
at the advance.
The trading of the last hour was irregu-
lar, but in many instances fracuonally I'M
der the best.

The last day of the thirteenth annual
congress of the American Ornithologsts'

tertainment ard courteous treatment fur

ALMOST A COLLISION,
Narrow Escape From m Accident nj
14th Street and New York Avenue.

Narrow Escape From IN Accident Mt
14th Street and New York Avenue.
A railroad collision was narrowly averted
this morning, and from the opinion of pas
sengers on the Metropolitan car coming
south and the Columbia car going east at
14th street ard New York avenue, it was
more the result Of good luck than of good
management. Both cars We're moving along
at the usual rate Of speed, and when the
crossing was nearly reached the speed of
neither car was checked. The result was
that the horses, by being jerked hastily to
one side, were saved from being crushed
against the cable car. By applying the
brakes vigorously the progress Of the Metro
politan car was checked sufficiently to allow
the cable car to proceed, which it did. 1t is
claimed that the Columbia motorman should
have stopped his car before reaching the
crossing, as, owing to the slippery tracks
and the down grade, 1t was difficult to brake
the Metropolitan car. However that may
be, the passengers on both cars believe that
perhaps after a real accident has occurred
at this crossing proper regulations will be
enforced by the respective companies.

Per Capita Tax.

The Delegates Refuse to Cut Down
Per Capita Tax.
The general assembly Of the Knights of
Labor resumed it's deliberations this morn
ing in its snug quarters in Mechanics Hall
and with closed doors proceeded to the
practical work of the convention.
An amendment to- the constitution, re-
ported by the committee on laws repeating
the section which gives past general mas
ter workmen a seat and a vote in the Gen
eral Assembly, was today adopted. Here
after those individuals who have held the
Office and retired will have no voice or vote
elected regularly a delegate from some
district assembly. The eX-otficio authority
of the past general master workman has
hus been entirely abolished.
No Reference to Powdcrly.
This action was at first supposed. on the
outside, to have reference to Mr.. Powderly.
Members of the committee on laws stated
positively that Mr.. Powderly was not
thought of in relation to the proposition to
repeal the preroSatives of the position of
past general master workman.
A subject which occupied good deal of
time today was an amendment which pro-
posed a reduction of the revenues of the or
der by one-half. The per capita tax is now
six cents quarter. -
The amendment. which originated from a
district :sssemblylin New York, proposed to
cut this tax in two. The committee report
ed adversely on the amendment and after
a thorough discussion their recommends
tons was adopted.
The convention met at go this afternoon
and continued work on the report of the
committee on laws, which will doubtless
occupy the attention Of the delegates for
the rest of the week.

In Machias, Me, lives
Mr.. E. F. Gould, who is
employed as a candy
maker by the firm of
Means & Gardner of that
place. Speaking of Mr..
Gould, his friend, Mr.. E.
w. Mitchell, recently said
Il have known him for
some years, and until
very lately l always
heard him complaining
about his food distressing
him, and feeling more or
less badly about all the
time. His work naturally
keeps him confined a good
deal, and he has very little
chance for exercise.
Lately, having heard less
complaint, l thought l
would call and see to
what he credited his
improvement. He said to
me-" said Mr.. Mitchell,
"'for years l have been
troubled with indigestion
and dyspepsia. At times
would be dizzy and my
head very dull, especially
after eating. Then would
have distress and
palpitation, caused by gas
in my stomach from food
fermer1ting. The only
thing l could find that
would give me relief was
soda, and from that l got
no lasting benefit, but now
l have struck it rich. My
employer brought me a
a package of Ripans
Tabules from Boston.
They are the one thing
that will fix you up all
right. l am feeling
splendid now, and l
recommend them to you
and all for stomach
