NoJRGENT TRIUNPHS.
Spanish Soldiers No Match for the
Cuban Patriots,
OUTGENBRALBD AT EVERY POINT.

The Whole Island of Cuba, outside of the

HAVANA, Jan. 6-Havana has spent a
day of nervousness, and has been in hourly
apprehension of an attack 10y the insur.
gent army, or part of it, The authorities
no longer make the slightest concealment
of the serious view they take of the situa-
tian, and there are some who do not hesi-
tate to rail at the Spanish generals and the
troopsand make bitter criticisms of them.
There has been great fear that the light
and water supply of the city would be cut
of by a sudden raid of the insurgent forces.
The idea of the city being left in total
darkness for the unseen working of plots
ana scdition is itself enough to work a
panic in the nervous condition of the pub
lie mind.
The Spanish authorities have main
tanned II Gordon of military forces running
from Havana 10 the town of Batabano, on
the south coast, since the invasion o. Ma

which they hoped to prevent the advance

than did che line of LaTrocho, which was
laid to keep the insurgents out of Santa
Clara province.
This line was broken on Saturday by
the forces under Gomez and the main
body of the insurgents have passed into
the province of Pinar del Rio, and are now
overrunning that province with fire and

The proclamation of General Campos to
the effect that all horses in the island are
to be held subject to requistion by the
Spanish authorities has little effect. be.
yond its force as a confession that the
Spanish forces are badly handicapped by
the lack of mounted troops. and are prac-
tically helpless against the cavalry forces
of the insurgents.
In effect the whole island of Cuba, out
side of the city of Havana, is now in the
hands Of the insurgents. They have not
annihilated the Spanish forces, nor have
they routed the whole army in any single
pitched battle. Yet the situation is COM
pletely in their hands, and so completely
have they outgeneraled the Spaniards that,
to all appearances, Martinez Campos'
army might as well be in Spain for any
check it puts upon the movements to and
fro of Maxine Gomezs army.
The latter's progress has been accom-
panied with continual accessions to his
forces by volunteers and he has captured
enough horses rifles and artillery to add
immensely to the effective strength of his
men. He has practically carried his base
of operations with him and has usually
countermarched over a wholly differel
route from that of his advance, apparently
counting with confidence upon living upon
the country as he went.

Ir was an unfortunate fire that destroyed
the recently. rebuilt breaker of Lent, Lilly
& Co., at Park Place. on Saturday night.
Outside of the heavy loss sustained by the
operators, amounting to thousands of dollars,
the conflagntion throws out of employment
about six hundred men and boys at most
unfortunate time of the year. TO have their
breaker destroyed twice within two years is
anything but encouraging to the operators.

Tho ColIation's Potency.

Several years ago the president of the
Baltimore Shakespeare club wrote a letter
to friend in Connecticut, an experienced
Shakespeare scholar, who had organized
successful Shakespeare clubs, in which he
described the methods Of the Baltimore
Shakespeare club, winding up with the
statement that 1.-THE meetings always
end with collation." The Connecticut
friend in his reply intimated that he
thought this unnecessary and perhaps a
little frivolous, When his reply was read
to the Baltimore club, lady member
said; "Tell Mr.. Trumbull that Irritation
club of two would not succeed in Balti-
more without something to eat, much less

A POPULAR BOND ISSUE.


Direct from the Government.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Speculation con-
cerning the amount and character of the
new bond issue was set at rest last night
when Secretary Carlisle made public a
circular on the subject. The loan will be
n popular" one, and the circular gives
notice that the government will sell $780,
100000 thirty year per cent. coupon or
registered bonds, dated Feb l, 1896, for
which purchasers will be required to pay
in gold coin or gold certificates. The
bonds will be ready for delivery on or be
fore Feb. 10, and will be in denominations
of $50 and multiples thereof BIDS will be
received until noon on Wednesday.
The circular also contains an intimation
of possible further issue of bonds should
the issue or sale of an additional or differ
ent form of bond for the maintenance of
the gold reserve be authorized by law be-
fore Feb. 3. In that event "sealed pro-
posals will be received at the same time
and place"-the treasury at Washington
and the sub-treasuries at New York, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia Baltimore, Cincinnati,
Chicago, St Louis or New Orleans, or they
may be made at San Francisco with ex-
change on New York.
This is the first issue by the present ad-
ministration of such large amount of
bonds of one time, all the previous issues
having been for $50 OOO, 900 each. The fact
that the bonds will be issued in sums of
$50 and multiples thereof and be payable
in instalments is a feature which it is be-
lieved will make them regarded with pop-
ular favor
The main reason for dating the bonds IA
year back is said to be in order TO give the
public better opportunity to judge their
market value by comparing them with the
gold fours issued at that time

Electric Bitters.

Electric Btters is a medicine suited for any
season, but perhaps more generally needed in
the spring, when the languid exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need of a tonic and altera-
tive is felt. prompt use of this medicine
has often avered long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act more
surely in counteracting and freeing the sys-
TEN from the malarial poison. Headache,
Indigestion, Constipation, Dizziness yield to
Electric Bitters. Only fifty cents per bottle
at A. Wasley's drug store.

DR. JAMESON STILL ALIVE.


CAPE Town, Jan. ct is reported that
Hon. Cecil Rhodes, premier Of Cape Col
ony. has resigned, but Governor Sir Her
cules Robinson has declined to accept the
resignation.
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain has tel
egraphcd, asking if it were true that Or.
jameson was sleDt adding that Mr.. Rhodes
had tclegraphed n positive denial of the
rumOred gathering of a second force Of the
Chartered Sorth Africa Company's troops
at BuluwayO. President Kruger has re-
piled chat he has given no orders to shoot
ireebooter5 who had been taken prisoners,
but that they would be punished accord
ing to law. He said that they had been
treated with the greatest consideration by
the burghers, despite the fact that the lat
ter had more than once been forced to take
up arms in defense of the republic. Pres
ident Kruger adds
Our confidence in Mr.. Rhodes has re-
ceived such rude shock that his repudia-
tion of the proceedings at Buluwayo ought
to be received with the greatest caution.
Even now we have news that an armed
force Is collecting on our borders. If that
be true, thrust that not the word of Mr..
Rhodes, but the influence of your govern
ment will suffice TO prevent the further in
cursions of freebooters although it was
not successful in arresting the advance Of
DR.. Jameson"
Secretary Chamberlain, in his reply,
thanked President Kruger for his assur-
ances, and adds that he had always felt
confidence in his magnanimity. He had
sent an imperial officer, he said, to Bulu-
wayo to see that his orders were obeyed
and to prevent the possibility of any fur
ther raids, and assuring President Kruger
that he might rest confident that he would
strictly uphold the regulations of the con
ventiou of 1884.
