A Spanish Victory Reported.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Senor Dupuy de Lome. the Spanish minister, late this af ternoon received the following dispatch, dated January 16, from the Duke Tetuan, minister of foreign affairs at Madrid:
 Gen. Suraez Valdez met and disband- ed Gomez, killing and wounding some of his men, who were left on the field. Col onel Molinad defeated a band in the Jurisdiction of Colon. The column of Jorro also defeated the enemy in the Clariers plantation. Colonel Marti also met and defeated the other band in Sancti Spiritus. There have been other small encounters, also to the advantage of the Spanish army, but without great results. because of the policy of scatter ing adopted by the insurgents. I tele- graph to you the news with perfect &C., curacy TIGTUAN."
 The Spanish minister declares that the alarming news published today Is with out foundation. He says Gomez Is try ing without result to return to the east ern part of the island, and has had sev- eral engagements in Quibican, Guanajay, Ceiba and Bejucal. trying to break the Spanish line and pass to the province of Matanzas. There Is no more reason for alarm now, he says than two weeks ago. when the insurgents approached Havana. and it was reported had captured the cfty

Baltimore, Jan. 16.-In it's weekly re-
 view of business interests of the south
 the Manufacturers Record shows that
 the assessed value of property in the
 southern states from 1890 to 1895 in-
 creased $S57 900 or 7.05 per cent, while
 the increase in the ten western states, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min nesota, Iowa, North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas, was $9125,OOO or 1.5 per cent and the increase in the Pa- cific coast states and territories was $S6,-
 300,000 or Al per cent.
 Special reports show that the coal out
 put of Alabama for 1895 was upwards of
 6.O00,000 tons, and of coke 1,r00, 900 tons,

 southern parties, and it Is reported that
 1t will be extended to Charleston or Sa-
 vannah and westward to Greenville or Anderson Contracts are to be let for line between Beaumont, Tex, and Port Arthur, and an eight-mile line is under construction in Tennessee to reach phos- phate beds. A company has been incor- porated to build a belt railroad around Fort Smith and extend it to the coal mines five miles distant. The New York, Phil adelphia and Norfolk company have ask ed for certain privileges to extend their line about twenty miles in the neigh borhood of Portsmouth, Va. The Aran- sas Harbor Railroad company of Texas
 has been chartered with capital stock of $3,0O0,000 for the purpose of building an important line to Aransas Pass.
 In the organization of industrial enter prises there is an indication of somewhat more activity, and during the week a large number of companies covering a wide variety of industries were reported.

: BETTER IRON ST TUATION. Check of the Decline in the Market Within
 the Past Week.

Cleveland, O., Jan. 16.-The Iron Trade Review today says:
 Not only has the week brought check to the decline in the iron market, but in some lines steps have been taken in the other direction. Earlier in the year than many expected, the beginnings of improvement have appeared. This has come about not from any special quicken ing in the demand for finished material, but in part from curtailment of pig iron production, and from the fact that pro- ducers prices on Besesemer pig and steel billets have had chance to assert them- selves after so long period of transac- tionS that took no account of cost, and were dominated by the single object of turning an overload of iron into money. The advance of the week in Bessemer pig is represented by $l025, valley fur mace, last week and $11 50 today, and fur- pace men who were willing to sell at SIP in the valley a week ago now have $1250 for their minimum figure. Sales are small, and there Is no expectation that the large steel-making interests, that tok large blocks at high prices, with deliveries stretching well into 1896. will be in the market for some time. A prime factor in the market for foundry and forge grades Is the demand soon to come from the pipe foundries. Some of them have been making inquiries and from 75 GOO to 900 tons are involved in the business expected from this source. New England pipe orders booked in the past three weeks amount to about 25,000 tons.

A BIG FAILURE.
The Wholesale Clothing House of Kahn, Schoenbrun & Go. Goes Under. .

Schoenbrun & Go. Goes Under. F Chicago, Jan. 16.-A surprise was ere ated in the wholesale clothing district today when the old and extensive firm of Kahn, Schoenbrun & Co.,, manufactur- CTS and wholesale dealers in fine cloth ing at Adams and Market streets, were closed by the process of confessions of Judgments aggregating nearly $15O,0O0 Executions wc>>- issued in each of the six confessions and the sheriff took pos session of the establ. bl.shment. It is es- timated that the liabilities of the firm will reach $3OO.OOo The largest creditors, outside of local banks, which advanced money on notes to tide the firm over bad times, are New York houses. The actual assets are hard to estimate, but they are believed to be more than enough to meet every dollar of the liabilities. The firm carried an immense stock of clothing, and their overstocked condition, com bined with inability to make collections In time to repay the bank loans, caused the failure. The firm stood high among its New York creditors and in banking circles here. An effort is being made to effect compromise among the principal creditors who were forced to protect their interests, and arrange for the firm to resume business. The members of the firm are Mark and Felix Kahn and Leo pold Schoenbrun.
 Later a bill was filed by Mark Kahn against Felix Kahn, asking for a disso- lution of the partnership existing and the appointment of receiver. The con fessions of judgment filed in the circuit court were in favor of the Corn Exchange Bank of Chicago for $60,000, Importers and Traders National Bank of New York for $50, ,000, National Bank of the Republic of Chicago for s25000 A. G. Becker & Go. for $10,OO0, and two others for small amounts.
 The stock of the firm is valued at $400,- 900 and the accounts receivable form a large part of the assets. It was only re- gently that the financial condition of the firm became such that heavy loans had to be obtained from the banks on judg- to ootJy

HaGoi. on Light.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Jan. 16.--To pre- serve the law and to avoid the likelihood of mob violence. Dr. Eugene Logan, who a few days ago outraged a 12-year-old girl in his office at McMinnville, was talk en from jail at midnight and given a speedy trial. The prisoner admitted his guilt and threw himself on the mercy of the court. He was sentenced to serve twenty years in the state prison.
 No train was due to leave the town un- til daylight, and at o'clock this morning, escorted by a heavy guard he was start ed in a hack over the mountains toward Nashville. His victim, Florence Gard ner is the daughter of prominent parents, and was in the dentists chair when the doctor took advantage of her. Though the hearing consisted of snap judgment, the verdict is regarded as lenient. Logan has a wife and two children. and was highly respected previous to this deed.

Train Robbers at Work.

Nevada. Mo-, Jan. 16.-A- bold robbery was committed last night at 9:30 o'clock at Nassau, one and half miles south of this city. It was pay day on the Mis- souri Pacific, and five robbers. with handkerchiefs over their faces, boarded the Missouri Pacific freight train at this city, and when the train stopped at the junction they held up and robbed Engi- neer R. G. Campbell and Brakemen j.. O. Sumner, Kinschi1f and Frank Roberts. Conductor Robert G. Trickell of Butler was also among the robbed, and during the holdup one of the robbers shot him through the nose and in the face. Five gold watches and something like $200 in cash and checks were taken from the railway men. The robbery was un- doubtedly committed by railroad men, judging from their Knowledge of the train and their free use of railroad slang. After the robbery the highwaymen made their escape The train was at once backed up to this city and the robbery reported. Officers went to the scene of the robbery on an engine. but the high waymen had made good their escape. An organized gang of thieves are no doubt working in this section. On Tues day night-the ticket agent at Richards was held up and robbed by three masked men. who were heavily armed It Is thought that the same gang committed all these robberies.

Continued Improvement

Pittsburg. Pa, Jan. 16.-Tomorrow's edition of the American Manufacturer say: a rtsEs~a a ~E
 The improvement noted last week seems to have continued and the condi- tions this week are better. Prices have grown stronger, but generally remain where they were. Increased demand for Bessemer steel is the most prominent feature of the market, and values which for weeks have been abnormally low are growing stronger, due to the stoppage of a number of furnaces and to the belief that ore will be higher. There are in- dications that permanently higher prices are close at hand and the entire situa- ton locally is regarded as much better than 1t was at last reports.
