survey, says it shows that but 16 mile
of the creek, as the bird flies, and but
q miles as the water flows, is in British

WAsHINGToN.-[Speci THE silver
conference resulted in an animated
discussion of the financial situation
and the policy to be pursued by the
friends Of silver.
During the discussion considerable
feeling was aroused by some remarks
made by Gen. Hatch Of Missouri in
which he stated in effect that il the
populists of Kentucky had done their
whole duty the eleotion of Blackburn
to a seat in the United States senate
would not be a matter of doubt.
Gen. Field of Virginia and others
made heated replies.
The committee on resolutions SUBJ
mitted their report. Consisting of an
unusually long preamble and endin g
with the declaration: "That over and
above all other questions of policy we
are IN favor Of restoring to the people
of the United States the time honored
money Of the constitution, gold and
silver, not one but both, the money of
Washington and Hamilton and Jeffer-
son and Monroe aud Jackson and
Lincoln to the end that the American
people may receive an honest pay for
an honest product. The American
debtor pays his just obligation in the
honest standard and not in q standard
that is appreciated 100 per cent. above
the great staples of our country and
to the end further that the silver
standard countries may be deprived
Of the natural advantage they now
enjoy in the difference in exchange
between gold ald silver, an advantage
which tariff legislation alone cannot
overcome. We therefore confdentially
appeal to the people of the United
States that leaving in allegiance for the
moment all other questions however
important and even momentous they
may appear and sundering IL need be

Q supreme effort to free themselves

ENORMOUS DAMAGE DONE.

Insurgents Have Sacked Towns, Burned
PIsntsntions and D~str"ysd Bridges.
HAVANA, Jan. l6.-The damage done
by the rebels in the province Of Pinar
del Rio is described as enormous. They
are said to have destroyed all the rail.
road bridges aud all the culverts on the
line of railroad running from this city
through Guira Melena, Artemisia,
Candeleria, San Cristobel, Paso Real
aud Consolation to the city Of Pinar
del Rio, in addition to sacking num-
Der Of towns, burning plantations,
plundering houses and doing other
damage north and south Of the railroad
line.
The air 10 full Of rumors regarding
negotiations going on between the
captain general and the insurgent
leaders, but the opinion is that even If
they are taking place there will be no
result from them.
1t is repored that while Maceo was
moving along the northern coast Of
Pinar del Rio he received considerable
additions to his supply Of arms and
ammunition. A schooner loaded with
arms, etc., 10 said to have awaited the
insurgents at La Mulata, and other
such consignments are said to have
been received at various parts Of the
coast. This is denied by the Spanish
authorities, however, who say that the
coast is thoroughly patrolled by the
vessels of the Spanish.

colossal bumptiousness Of large part

quence."
Professor Wheeler said further:
"spain. through the special dispen-
sation of Pope Alexander, the vice

a bully" ana said America need have
