TRYING TO BAG THE INSURGENTS.
marin's Tactics in Cuba and What He
Hopes to Accomplish.

marin's Tactics in Cuba and What He
Hopes to Accomplish.
HAVANA, Feb 3-Considerable anxiety
Is felt here regarding the result of the
military operations now being conducted
against Generals Maxine Gomez and
Antonio Maceo under the personal direc-
tion of General Marin, the acting captain
general of Cuba. The steps taken by the
Spanish authorities in gathering in all
the horses and cattle possible have had
she effect of weakening the insurgents
considerably. The tactics of the Span
iards seem to be to keep the insurgents con-
stantly moving from place to place, night
and day, and so gradually wear them out.
There is little doubt that the insurgents
are feeling the effect of these tactics.
Hitherto the great drawback under
which the Spanish have labored has been
the lack of cavalry with which to pursue
the quickly moving mounted infantry Of
the insurgents The defect is being grad
ually remedied, and General Marin has
now with him in the province of Pinar
del Rio force Of cavalry almost equal in
numbers, it is said, to the cavalrymen Of
Maceo who, according to all reports, has
been for some time past doing everything
possible to effect junction Of his forces
with those Of Macoo
But there is no denying that the Span
ish commanders have up to the present
succeeded in keeping the insurgent armies
apart. With this object in view new
military line has just been drawn north
and south, from Mariel, on the northern
coast of Pinar del Rio, through Guanejay
and Artemisa to the southern coast near
Mangas, and upon the maintenance Of
this new line great deal is said to de-
pend.
A report has been received from Man.
ganillo that the we'll known insurgent
leader Francisco Rabi has died from
wounds received in battle.

MILLIONS CONSUMED.
FLAMES WORK A TERRIBLE HAVOC
IN THE QUAKER CITY.

baptist Publication and Historical societie,
Burnt Out. Losing Many vaiuabies Thai
Cannot BE Replaced Artists Also Suffer
Heavy Losses.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 3.-Chestnut street
above Broad has been visited by one of
the fiercest fires this city has known for
years. The big seven story building OF
Charles III. Haseltine, 14l6 and 14lS Chest
nut street, and the adjoining flve-story
structure of the Baptist Publishing So
ciety and the American Baptist Historical
society, 1890, We're totally destroyed. The
buildings damaged by fire and water and
falling wall were the four-story dry goods
house of Homer, LIE Boutillier & Co., 14l2
and 1414; the dwelling house at 1422,
owned by the Wistar estate. and the
Hotel Lafayette, at Broad and SAMSON
streets. On either side of the main en-
trance of the Haseltine building were the
piano warerooms Of Hallet & Davis, at
l4l6. and of Steinway g. Co., at 14ls. The
the two Baptist societies lost large and
valuable collections Of paintings, books
and curios.
Loss Is Close to Two Millions.
The detailed losses have not yet been
made up, but conservative estimate
places the aggregate at close to $4,000 0O
1t is thought that this is almost fully
covered by insurance. There were about
ESQ guests in the Hotel Lafayette, which
is in the rear of the destroyed buildings.
Among these were Porter King. mayor Of
Atlanta. Ga, and the others of his party
who escorted the Liberty bell home and
reached Philadelphia Saturday. They
are Albert Howell, Il. b. Neal, w. H.
Block, John p. Ryan, w. L. Bell, H. L.
w. r. Dumnock, M. l.. Tabert, j. DAN
lei, and p. II. Harralson. Olga Neither
sole, the actress; her brother Louis +.
Maud Clayton, Of her company, were
also guests of the Lafayette. While there
was considerable confusion in the hotel the
kept cool heads and all were removed in
safety.
Got Ride in Patrol Wagon.
The Atlanta party was carried in pa
troll wagon to the Continental hotel five
blocks away, and the Nethersole party to
the Metropole, opposite the Lafayette.
Every other hostlery in the city was
thrown open for the reception of the dis
turbed guests. Only the eighth and ninth
floors of the hotel were burned, although
the back part of the building from cellar
to roof was badly damaged by smoke and
water. 1t had only recently been opened
by now management after thorough
enovation.
The Baptist Publication building and
stock were valued at $500, 600; insured.
The Historical society lost 10000 volumes,
valued at 100000 and insured for S25, 900.
DIR. Wayland, the eminent divine, also
lost valuable private library, on which
there was no insurance, and Dr. r. q.
lost $1,000. The losses on the
Homer, lie Boutillier and Hotel Lafayette
buildings have notyet been approximated.
