Messrs Redfern. 30 Fifth avenue:
Gentlemen-Kindly make up for me
the gown I selected yesterday. using,
as you suggested. the fibre chamois in
the waist for warmth, and in the skirt
and sleeves to give them that very styl-
Ish and boffant effect. l find that the
moreen peticoat does not give half the
style that the genuine fibre chamols
does, so naturally use nothing but the
genuine goods. The imitation OF this
particular article l have found to be
worse than useless.
Very truly,

Cuban War Incidents.

Continued fighting in the towns SUR
rounding Havana is reported.
a Washington dispatch says that in
formation has been received to the et-
feet that Spain is formulating a plan
of home rule for Cuba, such as was
suggested in President Cleveland's last
message to congress.
The Paris agent of the Cuban junta
SAYS that not only the Cubaus but the
French people, after hearing of the as
sassination of Maceo, are collecting all
they can to send an expedition, to be
called the expedition of Gen. Maceo,
to Cuba. From San Domingo and Mex
leo also come assurances of contribu-
lions TO the cause. Senior Quesada, at
the head of the Cuban delegation at
Washington says that dozens of letters
have been received from all parts Of
the country offering men and money
for the cause. Mr.. Quesada says they
have plenty of men, but supplies are
needed
Sixty-seven men left Tampa, Fla, on
the regular Florida Central Il PENN
sula train in two private coaches for
a point near Jacksonville, where they
will embarked for Cuba. They form
one of three combined expeditions now
en- route to Cuba on the Com
modore, the Three Friends and the
Bermuda. Gen. Carlos Rolatf sailed
from a northern port in the Bermuda
and was met by the other two expedi-
tions as he went south. 1t is said that
in all three expeditions will be about
800 men. The Bermuda also carries
5000 rifles; 4,OOO,O 900 cartridges; -four
Hotchkiss guns; two dynamite guns
600 hand bombs; projectiles for the
cannon and medicines. Gen. Rolaff II
directed to go to the province of Sanct
Spiritus and TO take command in place
of Gen. Serafin Sanchez, lately killed
in battle.

MACEO KILLED.
The Insurgcnt General Killed on the

The Insurgcnt General Killed on the
BattIeneId-Gomez' Son also Dead.
Official Spanish dispatches from Ha'
vana say that Gen. Antonio Maceo, the
second in command to COMMANDMENTS
Chief Gomez, of the insurgent army,
has been killed in Havana province
after having effected the passage OF the
western trocha near Mariel, at its
northern extremity. With the Cuban
leader died the youth, Francisco Gomez,
son of Gen. Gomez, who accompanied
Maceo on his passage of the trocha.
Mai. Ciruieda's report of battle with
the Cubans gives the information. He
saws that Maceo with 1000 men at
tackled the trocha and that fight
lasting several hours ensued, resulting
in the insurgents crossing the trocha
and retreating into Havana province,
leaving 40 dead on the field. Among
the dead were found two corpses lying
together, and. indeed, almost locked in
an embrace of death. The one body
was that of a mulatto, stout man
with gray, crispy, curling hair, and
! the other. that of a slender, dark
| haired youth. Both men wore white
linen duck suits, but underneath these
were other garments bearing their re-
spective initials.
Several documents were found ON
them bearing out their Identification
as Gen. Maceo and young Gomez
Among the documents was Maceo's
war dairy and a note signed by the
younger man saying that he committed
suicide rather than abondon the body
of his general.
The news of the death of Maceo
created great excitement in Havana
and the loyalists are jubilant believing
that blow has been struck at the re-
bellion that will result in its speedy
suppression. The rebel sympathizers
feel very respondent over the loss of
the rebel leader, though considerable
number of them place little reliance
on the truth Of the news Many of
the Cubans profess 90 believe that the
finding of the letters and the diary was
due TO Il trick of the insurgents to de-
lude the Spanish into the belief that
Maceo was killed. while ne pursues his
plan OF reaching Gomez.
Antonio Maceo was without question
the most brilliant figure of the present
revolt in Cuba. as he was in the 10
, years war-1s6S to 1878. In the great
raid across the island led by MAKING
, Gomez in 1895, Maceo was his chief
!. coadiutor, and when Capt.-Gen. Cam
, pos had finally receded with his head
/ quarters to the city of Havana, Macec

"A mere
London papers give assurance, TO
what has previously been but rumors
so far as the press was concerned, that
Great Britain, France and Russia have
reached an agreement to combine and
take charge of affairs in Turkey, with
the consent of Germany, Austria and
Italy. To this end British and French
Mediterranean fleets will shortly be
modified in contiguity to the Bospho-
rus and Dardanelles and the Russian
fieet is ready on the Black sea, in order
to enforce, if necessary, the reforms
which the embassies of the three pow
ers have to present to the sultan. The
fleets will force a passage of the straits
of the Dardanelles if the sultan makes
any resistance.
BY the details of the agreement the
sultan is to be reduced to practical
vassalage. 1t came about that British
and other representatives brought
home TO Russia a realization that the
policy of inacti for which Russia was
chiefly responsible, had become intol-
cradle. Russia yielded in principle,

MATTERS.
The Farmers Clubs of Michigan Meet
in Convention at the state Capital
The State Grange Also Gathers at
Lansing for an Annual Meeting.
Farmers Clubs Meet at Lansing.

The annual meeting of the State
Association of Farmers clubs was held
at Lansing. Gov. Rich was one of the
principal speakers, and he dwelt
particularly upon the condition of
the state institutions He referred
to the question of having relatives
of insane patients pay for their
keeping as far as they were able; also
TO the convict labor problem. The
governor said he thought the univer-
sity of Michigan should not ask for any
more special appropriations from the
state. but should be content with the
one-sixth mill tax. Il. L.. Lockwood,
of Petersburg spoke in response to
the governor. A committee was APP
,uointed to confer with like committee
from the State Grange, to agree on leg
islative measures TO bc advocated.
President A. n Kimmis, of Oakland
county, outlined the recommendations
of the executive committee, which, II
ndopted, would save the tax payers at
least $500, 900 a year. They are, in
brief: All county officers, paid by sal
ary instead of fees, and liable to pros
ecution if they accept any perquisites;
all fees readiusted and turned into the
county treasury; no new state instltu-
tions. wedding out of Improbable in
stitutions and doing away with un-
business-like methods; prisons made
self-supporting; insane to be treated, in
full or in part at the expense OF their
estate or relatives; no special approprl-
ations for the u. of NJ; no changes TO
make road laws more burdensome than
at present; more economical system for
collection of taxes on non-residents;
more equitable distribution of taxes
upon personal and real property. Mr..
Kimmis declared that the state had
lost 100000 by departing from the
constitutional plan OF doing its own
printing.
Robert Gibbons, of Detroit, roasted
the press and public generally for the
abuse heaped upon Legislators, saying
they are, as class, neither dishonesi
nor unpatriotic. Mrs. Elizabeth John
stone, of Detroit, spoke of woman's in
fuence in farmers clubs. Prof Brad
lev nj. Thompson defended the U. o
nj. and said that it was the institution
in which farmers sons and daughter
secured their higher education, ye
the opposition came from the farmers

out the expense of running township
government and showed how expense
could be reduced, and Patrick Hanlerd
OF Jackson, urged that juries be GU

passed urging local farmers clubs t
acouaint themselves with the details c

affairs; urging the formation of count

President Cleveland has been called to
account by the sultan of Turkey. An
emphatic protest has been made
against the language used in the Pres
ident's MESA re to congress regarding
the massacre of the Armenians and the
general attitude of the Turkish gov
c,nment toward the Christians in that
empire. 1t is said that Mpstapha Bey,
the Turkish minister. has threatened
10 withdraw his passports and sever
dinlomatic relations wi h the United
states unless the President makes some
amends for his harsh language. The
minister's interview with Secretary Oh
ney was very exciting.

Venezuela May not Accept the Treaty.

Venezuela May not Accept the Treaty.
New York: A special from Caracas
says Senior Andrade, Venezuelan min
lister to the United States, who was to
leave for Washington at once with the
cabinets approval of the Guiana bound
airy agreement, has been delayed. 1t
is said Venezuela will withhold her
consent to the arrangement entered
into between Secretary Olnev and Lord
Salisbury for the settlement of the
dispute.
Washington: The unofficial reports
from Venezuela thata serious agitation
has sprung up against the boundary
settlement agreed on between the
United States and Great Britain causes
much surprise and no little concern
| in official quarters. Mr.. Andrade
had previously cabled the time OF
his leaving, also stating that President
Crespo approved the agreement and
would call an extra session of congress
to ratify it. For this reason the re-
ports that Mr.. Andrade and Mr.. Stor-
row will not return at present, owing
to expected developments growing out
of the agitation against the settlement
is felt to embarrass and possibly inn
peril the final adjustment, which had
been confidently expected at an early
day. The Venezuelan papers which
reached Washington on the last
stcame r arc very guarded on the matter
and appear to be under some govern
ment advisement on the subject.
