MORE BLOODY.

The orders issued by General Weyler
to his columns are more Sanguinarv
than they were two months ago. No
mercy is TO be given to any peasant
found outside the Spanish strongholds.
The orders given to the columns are to
shoot on the spot every native who
does not Join the Spanish army. In
Plnar del Rio the massacre is awful.
The column OF Melsiuzo, especially, is
distinguishing Itself by its barbarous
warfare, for it is even destroying the
hospitals and killing the sick and
wounded
General Ruls Rivera. Maceo's sue
cessor in Pinar del Rio. is strongly for
tilted in the Sierra de OrSanos. the
old stronghold Of Maceo. He and some
1000 men are to the north of the trocha
near Aariel, where it is supposed that
Maceo passed. He carries with him
the dynamite cannon, which he landed
when he came with the expedition of
the Three Friends.
Though nothing positive is known
about General Gomez, the ruInor pre-
walls in Havana that he is on the
boundary of the province Of Matanzas.
THE FEELING Is BITTER.
The excitement against the United
States is rapidly growing. News was
received today through the correspond
Diario de La Marina of the adoption
by the committee of foreign relations
of the senate of the Cameron resolu-
lions. But the press censor did not
allow the cable dispatches even TO be
delivered to the editors of those pa
pers. Notwithstanding this precaution
the news has spread throughout the
city, augmenting the excitement of the
Spaniards.
1t is said that General Weyler has
summoned the governors Of the forts of
La Caha and MORO to receive exact
information of the condition of those
forts and their ability to resist in case
of an attack by foreign navy. The
new forts along the line of the Vedado
have been reinforced.
The financial situation of the island
is desperate. Poverty prevails in Ha-
vana among families who were rich
before The war. The commercial ele-
ment is ver- much disguised there
fore, with Weyler's decree increasing
per cent the import duties at the
custom houses from January ] next.
The decree makes it practically inn
possible for some houses TO continue
business. Orders sent to Europe have
been cancelled, and it is estimated
that more than 20 firms will close bust
ness on that date.

New York, Dec. 22.-The Suns Ha-
vana correspondent, writing under date
O. December II, says: Since the death
of General Maceo the war has been
waged more holly than ever. Far from
losing their enthusiasm, as the Span
iards believed they would do. the in
surgents in the provinces of Havana,
Aiatanzas and Pinar del RIO are fight
ing desperately. The only person who
has surrendered as a result of Maceo's
death IS DR.. Zertucha, who is accused
by the Cabans of being a traitor. The
fact is, doubtless, very disappointing
TO General Weyler. Every night the
volleys from the insurgent vanguard
are heard in the suburbs of Havana
and in the neighboring town OF GUIANA
tacoa. Advices from Matanzas say
that the same thing is happening in
that city.

THE NAVY.

Secretary Herbert said. in his speech:
When. II years ago, | was put in
charge of the naval committee of the
house of representatives l knew little
or nothing about the subject, but the
time had come to build a new navy,
and there was a reason why 1 especi-
ally desired to go on that committee.
1 was an ex-confederate soldier, and
felt that in helping to rebuild the navy
which represented the majesty and the
power of the United States as one
country, / might help, also. in the
good work of reuniting the two sec
tions- No one can tell to what extent,
if any, the votes of southern men for
the navy have contributed. Our civil
war stands out in the past as an I'M
rivalled testimonial of American cour-
age
Mr.. Herbert went on to tell of the
building up of the new navy and con-
traSted it with the navy at the COM
mand of the Pilgrim fathers in 1872.

A Band Of Robbers.

Thursday of last week young Sweed-
ish woman living with the family of
Webster Johnson, below Brockwayyille,
had thrilling experience while out in
the woods picking berries, and it is pos
sible that the men she saw constitute the
band of robbers who have been break ing
into stores and carrying away large
amounts of plunder, 60
Miss johnson in her ramblings sud
denly came upon a band of five or six
men in an unfrequented timber road,
who had spread out on a quilt or blanket
several bushels of silYerware and Jew
elry, knives and forks, spoons, dress
goods, handkerchiefs and other valuable
articles of wearing apparel, and one of
the number seemed 10 be making a list
of the articles in the collection, or per-
haps dividing them among his pals. The
girl was greatly alarmed, but could not
retreat because of the great growth OF
timber. and as she app cached one of the
party covered up the booty and she was
permitted to pass, but she heard one of
the men remark as she was about out OF
hearing, "it is time we were getting out
of this" They were all strangers, and il
is very certain that they did not come in
10 possession of their goods in an honest
manner. .- Br00kUoie RepabtcdR.

A Good Well on Hickory Greek.

The striking Of good we'll by
the Tidioute Citizens Gas Co., on the
James Henderson tract, on Hickory
creek, at the mouth Of Queen, has
stirred up no small amount of inter.
est in that locality, and the hustling
for leases has been quite lively since.
The we'll, located on tract No. 5207,
was drilled for gas, and the oil was
struck on top of the sand, thus it
flows at intervals, and its capacity is
estimated at Is tn 20 barrels. East
and West Hickory parties have Sc.
cured leases, and three rigs are now
building in that vicinity.
LATER-Since the above was put
in type the well was shot and was re.
ported to be doing four barrels an
hour at last accounts. This is
enough to make quite stir in that
quarter

The Dean and Carringer Debate.
MARIENv1LLE. Sent. 8. lsg,

MARIENvILLE, Sept. 8, 1896.
The much talked of debate between
"Farmer" Dean and M. G. Carringer,
Esq, of this place came off as slated in
the opera hall. The inclemency of the
weather did not seem to act as hinder
ance to the people getting out, for the
large hall was we'll filled. The debate
WIS success to the committee having it
in charge, and as to the result or good,
following it, is for the voters to decide.
1t was conducted in a spirit of friendly
rivalry, each disputant according to the
other the usual amount of courtesy
due in those things. "Farmer" Dean is
a pleasant gentleman and a forcible
speaker, and did his best no doubt to
convince the people that his views were
right. Every one who knows him or
knows of him, knows as he said him
self that he is not "free silverite," but
a "greenbacker." Consequently it was
hard for him to keep off the greenback
theory and stick to his text
Mr.. Carringer, while not so fluent a
speaker, is a good debater. His argu-
uleuI SuOWeu JlldJ n6 was thoroughly
conversant with the money question, and
he offered nothing but facts and figures,
backed up by good solid proofs. Oi
course there is a variety of opinions as tc
who had the best argument My opinion
is that Mr.. Carringer had, for he pro.
duced more and better argument on the
silver question than his opponent, and
stuck closer TO his text.
Our Mckinley club will meet again on

THE oIPATHERIA CASES IN BuTTt
Complaint of the Criminal Negligence,
of Physician.

Diphtheria is gaining a foothold in
Butte, and the health department will
have all 1t can do to prevent a spread
ing of the disease in the southern part
of town, as the result of the criminal
negligence of a physician, says the Ana
conda Standard correspondent. Christ
mas day, Albert, the S-year-old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. A. j. Bullock, of No. 32i
South Arizona street, died of the disease.
Yet the case had not been reported to the
health office, and that department only
ascertaned the fact through another ply
sician yesterday. The house was quaran-
tined, but already another little one OF
the family had come down with the dis
ease. and there are three more children
in the family who may all suffer. Be
sides, as the house was not quarantined
the children of neighbors, 1t is believed,
have been exposed, and there may be
an epidemic of it before the disease is
wiped out. There are two diphtheria
cases in other parts of town, but they
were properly reported, and the usual
precautions against spreading were TAX
en-. The health officer said that this Is
the last time such criminal negligence
would be excused. The next time that any
physician failed to report a contagious
disease he would be prosecuted and pun
ished to the full extent of the law.

SILVER CLUBS CONSOLIDATED.
Chicago, Dec. 29.-For some time past
negotiations have been pending for a
complete consolidation of the American
Bimetallic League, National Blmetallic
Union and the National Silver Committee,
the three principal silver organizations in
the United States, representing all sec
tions of the country. Yesterday these ne
gotiations eliminated in an agreement by
the representatives of the organizations
by which consolidation has been substan-
TALLY perfected. Nothing now remains to
be done but ratification by the executive
committees of these organizations, each
acting separately, which will speedily fol-
low.
The consolidation organization will be
known as the American Bimetallic Union.
Its principal and general headquarters
will be in Chicago at No. 1874 Monroe
street. in the office occupied by the Ma
tional Bimetallic Union, with branch Off
ces in Washington. San Francisco and
perhaps other cities, both north and
south.
1t is the purpose of the united organiza-
tions to press the campaign of education
on behalf of bimetallism with the utmost
vigor in all parts of the country.
A conference of pronounced silver men
will be held at Washington on the 22d
of January, where a plan of action will
be outlined, which 1t is said will have
an important bearing upon the political
events of next year.

tracing the currency of this country
as 1t would be contracted by the re-
