Jackson clubs will celebrate the day
all over the country as never before
Chicago, St Louis, New York, Boston,
New Orleans, Baltimore and other

of 1896.
Jacksons day is the anniversary of
the battle of New Orleans, January 8,
1915, when he routed the heroes of the
peninsula under command of Yelling
toms brother-in-law, forever settled
the question of British invasion in this
country, and gave to history a record
of the severest defeat ever sustained
by the English army.

Menominee, Mich, Jan. 7.-Rumors
that the Mansfield mine, near Crystal

Havana, Jan. Little news has
been received in this city regarding
the movements of either the Spanish
or the insurgents the lines of COM
munication being cut in every direc-
ton out of Havana. Enough is re-
ported from points in the province of
Pinar del Rio, however, to show that
the insurgents have covered a wide
territory in that province and unceas-
ingly destroyed sugar cane and dam
aged the tobacco crop.
At Cubanas, a seaport town of con-
siderable importance, the insurgents
destroyed the lighthouse.
The destruction of Guira Melena
seems to be complete. Guira Melena
is an important village of 1000 inhaD-
itants situated in a fertile district. A
report from there said that the insur-
gents had plundered churches, business
houses, stores and private residences,
and then destroyed them entirely. They
also are said to have killed the mayor
and prominent merchant of that
place. Similar tales come from other
towns, in the route of the insurgents
march
Incoming trains from the south are
bringing in vast throngs of refugees
men, women and children-some of
whom have been burned out of house
and home. This large infusion of
panic-stricken people in the population
spreads the contagion and alarm and
the force and proximity of the insur-
rection become more real to the mind
Of Havana every hour. An outbreak in
the city of the disaffected elements is
feared.
Washington, Jan. THE campaign
in Cuba IS being closely observed by
the administration in view of the re-
iterated reports Of insurgent successes
in their operations near Havana In
the event that they actually attack the
capital of the island i'll force, il is pos
sible that the North Atlantic squadron
may be ordered to Havana in order TO
be in position to guard American in
terests during the disturbed conditions
that may be expected to accompany
siege. 1t is not probable that excep-
ton by Spain could be taken to the
presence Of our vessels in such d case,
as it is customary for powers having
large interests and many citizens in
city so beset to have some naval force
present for their protection in an
emergency as was the case at Rio, for
instance.

Havana, Jan. Loud disclaimers
are being uttered by the authorities
that they have any fear for the well
fare of the city. 1t is pointed out
that the city Is Wen fortified, being
protected by the strong Fortress Moro,
and being garrisoncd by Cabannas,
Principe, Alares, Santa Clara and
Reina troops, with heavy artillery and
by 10000 volunteers, with 10000 more
loyal sons in the city willing to take
arms. With these forces at their COM
mand the authorities express the opin-
ion that it is impossible for the insur-
gents to capture the city, unless they
are provided with siege artillery 1t
is claimed only small bands of insur-
gents are engaged in operations under
Gomez, and that they are successful
only in small towns. Preparations
have made against a possible surprise,
and there is no present fear of an at
tack.

New York, Jan. THE World pub
fishes the following cablegrams:
London, Jan. Elm answer to
yours, would say that until the boun-
Diary question is arranged we do not
believe either the European public or
capitalists will take many American
bonds for investment, if any, and we
believe, although a certain number of
people on this side of the Atlantic
have signified an intention of taking a
share in the syndicate to be formed in
New York, they only have done so in
the belief that they would obtain
term which would enable them to force
resale of bonds in America.
When the political horizon is quite
clear, then there may be time and OPP
portunity for America to apply TO
