MAcEo HAS A MARROW ESCAPE.
The Cuban Nearly Falls Into the
Hands of the Spanish.

Hands of the Spanish.
Havana, Jan. ,1O.-Reports are in clrcu-
lation here that prior to the persuit of his
command by the Spanish column under
Gen. Prat. Antonio Maceo, the rebel lead
er. accompanied by an escort, approached
an expert guide in the province of Pinar
del Rio, and asked to be conducted to the
headquarters of Maxine Gomez. obvious
ly having lost track Of the latter's where
abouts. While the parleying with the
guide was going on Maceo was surprised
by the firing of Gen. Prats guns and made
haste to escape, otherwise he would have
been captured by the advancing Span
iards. AS 1t was. he was cut off from
his command and forced to abandon his
own troops.
A number of engagements have taken
place in the province Of Pinar del Rio to-
day; 1t is believed that the main force
of the rebels under Gomez and Maceo are
surrounded and cannot escape.
Dispatches from Banes, in the province
OF Pinar del Rio, says that on Jan. s
force OF 800 Spaniards, composed of cav
airy and infantry, pursued for two and
half hours the rebels under command of
the leaders Antonio Maceo, Zayds and
Zerafn Sanchez. The Insurgents refused
TO engage in battle with the government
troops and disbanded. Their killed thev
left upon the field, but carried away with
them many wounded
General Suarez Valdez telegraphs Of
hclaily from Guana1ay, that the columns
commanded by Coils. Navarro and Arizon
have dispersed Maceo's force on the Re-
galdo and Begona estates, inficting a
heavy loss on the rebels. Five men be-
longing to NAvarro's column We're wound
ed. Col. Arizon's loss is unknown The re-
bells retreated in the direction of Cabaras
whence Coils. Navarro and Arizon are pur-
suing them.
1t is said that Gomez is on the south
coast marching westward. Tehegrapaic
communication with points west mas been
Interrupted by the rebels cutting the
wires.
Washington, Jan. 1O.-In response to a
cablegram to Havana sent by Senor Du-
puy De Lone, the Spanish minister, in
quiring as to what effect the destruction
of sugar crops would have upon the gov
ernments resources the following dis
patch was received to-day: Havana
Jan. 10.-Sugar does not pay direct taxes
Sugar now only pays a port duty, or per-
NIT to load, of 75c per ton. If the total
sugar crop were lost, and the average
expectations of 100000 tons were impos-
sible. the loss to the treasury would be
$3.50, 900; less than l per cent. of the war
expenses. (Signed.) CadeAas"
Senior De LONE in giving this informa-
ton said that it could be proved by in
quiring of those interested in the sugar
industry in New York, Boston and Phil
adelphia and pointed to the fact that the
rebels in their efforts to ruin the island
by burning cane fields of Spanards. Gu
bands and foreigners, have deprived the
Spanish government of less than $500 900
in taxes.

BOND BILL MAY BE PASSED.
The Republican Senators. However,
Have Played the Fool.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Jones Of
Nevada is still holding up the Senate
committee on finance. and there is moth
ing on the surface to indicate that he
will relinquish his grasp on the revenue
raising bill. 1t cannot be reported to the
Senate while the democrats and repub-
lieans are divided. and he holds the de-
Gliding vote.
1t is said by those who direct the course
of legislation in that body that the pend
ing bond bill will hold the senatorial
boards for at least ten days or longer
to enable a number of the new senators
from the free silver states to express
their views and go on record for the
benefit of their constituents.
When the discussion begins to languish,
several plans now being formulated. will
be brought forward TO test the sense
of the Senate on the silver question
Some of the sound money democrats in
the Senate, and outsiders who are close
to the administration. quietly assert that
there is a fair prospecr OF repeating the
tactics so successfully Employed i'm fore
ing the bill to repeal The Sherman law
through the Senate.
There will probably be no meeting Of
the finance committee until Tuesday. the
res ular meeting day. The republican
members say that at that time they ex-
pect tC report the tariff bill just as It
came from the House. They understand
that Mr.. Jones of Nevada will not longer
insist upon the imposition OF the addi-
tional 10 per cent. on raw sugar. Messrs
Allison and Aldrich of the committee are
both out of the city for few days.
Senator Wilson of Washington who
appears to chafe under the restrictions
imposed upon him by the slow moving
and ncomprehensible system of senate
rial courtesy, "blames the republican lead
ers of the Senate for placing the party
in the ridiculous position IL occupies to-
day before the country He says the men
who insisted upon reorganizing the Sem
ate committees had the power to reOr-
ganZe the finance committee on a sound
money basis. but they permitted the rule
of seniority to intefpose and the
result is that the republicans are now
in the position of being Responsible for the
control of the Senate, vet they are power
less to report the tariff bill from that conf
mittee. He charges that the desire or
committee rooms with the patronage ac>
companying the committees seems to have
had more weight in bringing about a re-
organization of the committees than any
other motive. Senator Wilson says he
does not like to make insinuatiOns but IL
appears to him that the finance commit
tee was constructed with free silver ma
Jority for the express purpose of blocking
the way to any legislation of financial
nature, during the present session. He
says ii would have been much wiser from
the democrats to retain control of the
committees than to place the party at the
mercy of combination Of democrats and
populists.

A COMBINE To HEAT HARRISON.
All the Rival Candidates TO UnIte 10
Down the EN-President.

Washington. Jan. l0.-It has finally leak
ed out that the recent conferences at the
residences Of Chauncey Depew in New
York and the home Of Senator QUAY in
this city were not purely social meetings
but We're conferences for the purpose OF
forming an iron-clad anti-Harrison COM
bination. one OF the participants at both
the Depew dinner ana the midnight con-
ference at Senator Quay's house wrote a
letter 10 a close political friend in which
the subject Of the consultations was out
lined. II appears that In spite OF the
activity of Gov. Morton. the vigor or

a tariff bill through The House within a
few weeks after congress convened, the
demand OF the high protectionists

deep grounded fear in the minds OF the

Co, that eN-President Harrison will be
a powerful opponent in the St. Louis con-
Venton. His prospective matrimonial
venture will not hurt him with those del
esates VINO are or a sentimental ma
ture.
II can be stated with the greatest posi-
tiveness that the real object OF the two
recent consultations of the republican
leaders was not so much to advocate the
claims or any particular candidate, but to
try and reach an agreement by which
all the anti-Harrison factions Will COM
bine against him, even at the sacrifice OF
their individual preferences.
At the Quay conference the fear was
expressed that unless the combination

TRACTION LINE TROUBLES.
The Decision of the Wen as to a New
strike SIN Uncertain.

Philadelphia, Jan. Il, 2 a. mat O'Clock
this morning it was impossible TO learn
whether strike would take place to-
day on the Union Traction Company's
lines. There was no one at the headquar-
ters of the AmaIgamated Association to
give any information on the subject. The
various divisions of, the association were
voting upon the question, but at the di-
visions headquarters all information was
refused and inquirers were referred to the
general headquarters. From the men
who were talked to at the division head
quarters it would seem the men are in
favor of another strike. 1t is believed
that the officers of the association are ab-
senting themselves from Headquarters
with the view of not coming In conflict
with the conspiracy laws and so making
themselves amenable to arrest in case a
strike takes place, and that the object IS
70 make It appear that the strike, If it
should take place, will be a spontaneous
one. The officials Of the Traction COM
pany expect a strike.
At the headquarters OF the Amalgamat-
ed Association it was learned early this
morning that 1t was improbable that a
strike would take place.

SUFFERING AND DEATH AT SEA.
TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE OF THE
CREW OF THE EALING.

The Captain and Eight Men Die From
Cold and Exhaustion i'm "A Life Boat
and Their Surviving Comrades
Forced TO Throw Their COrpses
observation-disclosures Boat Contain
ing Nine Wen Missing and PrOba-
bly, Lost with All Hands.
Halifax, y. s., Jan. lO.-A boat from the
steamer Ealing. which recently went
ashore on Greene Island, Isaacs Harbor,
y. S. reached CausO at o'clock to-day.
There We're nine men in the boat, which
was in charge OF Second officer Thomas,
and all We're thoroughly exhausted ana
badly frost-bitten. They had a terrible
experience and nine of their shipmates,
including the captain. died of cold and ex-
posure and were thrown overheard The
survivors are in such an exhausted con-
dition that they cannot tell exactly when
their mates died, saying it was either to.
day or yesterday
They say two boats left the stranded ship
at p. m. Of the 9th instant One con-
tanned the first officer and eight men, ana
as nothing has been heard from them, all
hands probably perished.
The other boat, which arrived at Canso
to-day was in charge of the captain and
originally contained eighteen men. Nine
died. as already related above.
Second Officer Thomas tells the follow
ing story of how the boat reached Canso:
The boat, after leaving the steamer,
tried TO make Green Island, as the lights
We're plainly seen. but they could not
make their sails work and were driven
nfty miles out to sea. Then the wind
changed, blowing from the eastward and
by this means the boat was enabled 10
reach Ganso. Had il not been for the
bravery and splendid work Of the sailors,
we would never have reached land The
sea going qualities of the life boat proved
10 be hrst-class. When the boat pushed
on from the Ealing. il had on board but
q dozen biscuits and a barrel of water.
The latter soon became frozen and the
men were compelled to live nnon ice y
