Ihs NIL War.

Cairo. April 6.-Considerable anxiety
is felt here in unofficial circles con-
corning tee fate of the advance guard
of Egyptian troops operating against
the Dervishes. The telegraph line be-
tween Korosko and Murat Wells has
again been cut by the Dervishes, a
strong force of whom is reported near
Assauam. On the Bertser road the
enemy is also reported in strong force.
In addition to Murat, the Dervishes are
threatening Fort Helaib on the Egyp-
ton coast of the Red sea. The Der
wishes, 1t is further announced, have
arrived at Kokreb. so miles west of
Suakim. Another battalion has been
sent to Suakim to reinforce the gar
rison. 1t is thought the Dervishes will
attack the Egyptian entrenched posi-
ton.

New York, April 6.-The World says:
| A long cipher dispatch from Carlos
Garcia, son of General Calixto Garcia,
leader of the Bermuda expedition to
Cuba, has been received by NJ. Stern,
in this city. The dispatch was written
ct Manzanillo on April 2. Stern held
1t in his hand last night as he trans
lated it, The dispatch says that the
men and the heavy artillery were
landed in a bay between Bahia Monda
and Muriel, about so miles west of Ha-
vana- There was absolutely no inter-
ference. The two Hotchkiss guns and
the six other pieces of artillery were
taken off with the ammunition for
them. The ship, with the remaining
arms and ammunition, was sent to
Santiago. The los men in the expedi-
tion were landed on the morning of
March %. They made a march of 40
miles inland, where they were met by
General Maceo. 1t was decided that
an attack should be made upon Pinar
del Rio. which is the Spanish strong
hold. Maceo had caused the report to
reach the Spanish garrison that he
had started on long march.
The message says that Maceo and
Garcia, with 5000 men, swept down on
Pinar del Rio early in the morning of
March 70, and II was complete sur
prise. The Spanish troops numbered
5000 and they were thrown into a
state of panic by the onslaught. The
use OF the heavy artillery which Gar
cha had brought added to their terror
The message further says that con-
sternation reigned and the Spanish
troops were thrown into wild disorder
The officers could not form their men,
The Cubans captured two pieces of
heavy artillery. LOO Mauser rifles,
1,000,0 900 cartridges, $500 swords and
stores. They burned 600 houses, SPAR
ing the weak. The Spanish loss is $50
killed and 200 wounded The Cuban
loss is $50 killed and wounded.
After this victory. which is one of
the most important that the Cubans
have won, General Garcia took 500 men
and started eastward, making the
hardest possible marches. Many yolun-
teers Joined them When they ar
rived near Santiago they found that
the Bermuda had landed her ammuni-
ton in bay a few miles east of San
tiago The ship arrived on the night
of March %.
General Garcia has gone to the east
ern end Of the island. because that is
his old home, and the people living
there are his loyal friends. Jose Maceo
is with him. General Garcia will do
nothing for q month but organize an
army OF picked men. He expects TO
have an army of volunteers which will
number $1,000 men and a regular force
OF 10000 men.

A BIG PLOT.
IL Is Said That an Attempt Was Made to
Abduct Cornelius Vanderbilt. ~

Abduct Cornelius Vanderbilt. ~
San Francisco. April 6-George z.
Gard. late chief of the Southern Pacific
company's detective service. came up
from Los Angeles last night and gave
publicity to one of the most remarkable
stories of anarchistic plot that was prob
ably ever heard in San Francisco. The
plot according to Mr.. Gard, was moth
less than a conspiracy to hold up the VAN
derbilt special train and abduct Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt. and it has transpired
that the officials of the Southern Pacific
company. who were informed through
Gard before the Vanderbilt party reached
Ell Paso have been taking all possible
precautions to prevent the carrying out
of the plot.

Majority for opposition. 243
Great credit is due NJ. p. Gilchrist,
chairman of the democratic central
committee. for the great victory achiev-
ed, as well as to all the individual men,
bers of the committee. Mr.. Gilchrist
and his coadjutors deserve all the more
credit in view of the fact that many
prominent democrats took so little in
terest in the fight, and not a dollar
could be raised for campaign purposes.
In Canadian circles much surprise Is
expressed. and few of them have re-
covered sufficiently TO even attempt to
explain how 1t happened. They are
speaking of the Cornish in very uncom-
plimentary terms. One of the leading
A. p. AS said last night:
THE Second ward is the strongest A.
p. A. ward in the city. There should
never have been a doubt about our car
rying that ward. 1t was not the Cor
mis- alone who beat us, for we have
enough A. p. AS to win without the
Cornish. But we will remember the
Cornish, nevertheless. They will never
have another office in Silver Bow coun-
ty. Mark my word for that. They
claim to be Americans, and then vote
with the papists. We know the Cornish
now, and they need not expect any
thing more from us. oh. you beat us
plenty, and broke II off into us. / adj
init that, but we viii remember the
Cornish all right
This is the third time that the demo-
Gratis have carried the Second ward.
1t was carried by Dugan and by Sher-
man and by Bryant.
The Inter Mountain. the organ Of the
administration, which gave such en-
thusiastic and telling support of the
republican ticket during the campaign,
said editorially last night: There is
no issue before the people of Butte ex-
cept that of the endorsemnt or the re-
pudiation of the administration of
Mayor Thompson. II a majority of re-
publicans are elected. Mr.. Thompson
will understand that his course has
been approved by the people of Butte.
Otherwise. otherwise The count to-
night will tell the tale"
Mayor Thompson is understood to
have said last night that he did not
regard the election as a censure of his
administration, and he believed that
the republicans would have won all
right but for the Inter Mountains
support.
