The TURF.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 1O.-The
weather was pleasant, but a strong
wind made it rather disagreeable. The
track was fair. The feature of the rae
ing was the 2-year-old dash, in which
was entered Orestes, the son of Or
monde. OresteS was made favorite on
the prestige of his breeding and re-
ported fast trials. The youngsters got
off well, but Orestes fell back at once,
and owing to being bumped into was
thrown out of his stride. He showed
great speed in the stretch and was rap
idly overhauling his field. Despite the
fact that he finished outside the money
Orestes ran a very creditable race and
gives every promise of developing into
a good colt.
Second choices took three races and
third choices the other three.
First race, five and one-half furlongs,
selling-Ottyanna, 100 (Cochran), to
2, won; Don Caesar, Ill CIV Flynn

CHICAGO, April ia dispatch to the
I1mes-Herald from Washington says:
AT last President Cleveland has taken
action in behalf of Cuba. He has made
to Spain formal proposition that the
good offices of the United States be ac-
cepted in mediation between that coun-
try and her rebellious colony in the West
Indies. This proposal was made in a
cablegram of instructions to our minis
ter at Madrid, Mr.. Hannis Taylor, which
was dispatched today No diplomatic dis
patch OF equal Importance has left this
capital since Secretary Olney's note to
the British government on the Venezue-
Ian boundary question was sent last sum
mer.
1t brings to a crisis the relations be-
tween the United States and Spain,
which have been unsettled since the out
break OF the Cuban rebellion.
The note thoroughly explains the at
titude of the United States ana the rea-
sons which led to this action. The prin-
cipal points of the dispatch are:
Flrst-The president offers the good
offices of the United States in mediation
between Spain and the insurgents, with
the view of bringing about peace in
Cuba.
Second-The note recalls the cores
pondence between this government and
when President Grant and Secretary Fish
proposed mediation and the Spanish gov
eminent, though declining to accept it,
promised certain reforms in Cuba The
fact that the United States was in part
instrumental in bringing about that Ut
tlement, and the charge that the Span
ish government has not kept it's prom
ises Is given as reason why the United
States now has a right to be heard in
the case
Third-It is pointed out that the pres
ent rebellion in Cuba has assumed a much
more serious aspect than any former in
surrection, the insurgents having APP
parently taken possession of all the is
land except Havana and a small sec
ton of country roundabout.
Spain is assured of the fact that the
United States is actuated only by dis
interested motives and by a desire
through friendship to bring about more
pacific and satisfactory state of affairs
in the island. Spain is urged to accept
our good offices in the spirit in which
they are rendered, and the hope is ex-
pressed that the Spanish government will
see its way to granting reforms in Cuba.
The president does not ask Spain to
grant the independence of Cuba nor does
he suggest that home rule be accorded
the people of that island. He leaves all
these questions of method to be dis
cussed after Spain shall have expressed
a Willingness to accept mediation.

CHILLED CHEESE.
1t Worries the Members of the House
For a Whole Day, and the End
is Not Yet.

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The house
today spent the entire day in debate
on the filled cheese" bill. Tomorrow
the bill will be read under the five
minute rule for amendment. A very
considerable opposition to the measure
has developed and some of the mem
bers interested in it's passage fear it
will fail unless radically amended
The principal objection seems to be
raised to tax features of the bill, $500
on the manufacturer and $40 on the
retailer, while there appears general

unanimity in favor of bill to compel
the branding of filled cheese.
Mr.. Grosvenor Rep), of Ohio. in
charge of the bill, addressed the house
in favor of its passage. He described
in detail the
MANUFACTURE OF FILLED
CHEESE
from skinned milk and leaf lard. OF
all the persons who had appeared be-
fore the ways and means committee,
he said, but one, a manufacturer of
filled cheese, had opposed the bill. The
Dill had been framed on the lines of
the oleomargarine bill which had be-
come law against the most intense
opposition, and though subjected to tine
severest tests of litigation, it had been
neid to be constitutional in all essen
tials.
The committee therefore had held to
the legal pathway blazed by that bill.
1t was. Mr.. Grosvenor argued, the duty
OF legislation 10 protect the producers
OF food products from competition with
spurious articles and to protect the
consumer from the purchase of such
counterfeits. The exploration of filled
cheese, ne claimed, had practically
ruined the foreign market for genuine
American cheese. The bill did not pro-
hibit or discourage the manufacture
OF filled cheese; it simply forced the
manufacture and sale of it under its
true colors.
In reply to a question by Mr.. Can
non, Mr.. Grosvenor said that despite

Insurgents Defeated.

HAVANA, April 1O.-General Oliver,
near Camajuani, Santa Clara, had a
severe engagement with 600 insurgents
under Jose Gonzales, the colored lead
er, resulting in the defeat of the in
surgents with loss of thirty killed
and many wounded. The troops lost
fifteen killed and twenty-siX wounded
The insurgents drew the troops into
an ambuscade in a densely wooded
ravine Behind earthworks completely
masked with brush, the insurgents
awaited the troops. Scouts sent for
ward by the Spanish commander were
allowed to pass but when the troops
were we'll inside the ambuscade
into their ranks, killing several and
wounding others, besides almost
CAUSING A PANIC.
At first the Spanish infantry gave
way, being taken SO completely by sur
prise and seeing many soldiers falling,
without being able to do anything
but fire into the deep woods from
which came the flashes and reports
which told of the fire of the insurgents.
Later, however, the troops were rail-
lied and made a splendid dash for
ward and up the side of the hills over
the earthworks, driving the insurgents
before them at the point of the bayonet
and shooting them down as they fled.
Thus the enemy was quickly silenced
and the troops captured and RACED
the insurgents breastworks on both
sides of the ambuscade, where they
found number of boxes of abandoned
ammunition and several rifles, etc.
A column of gen d'armes and volun-
teers has been engaged with a detach-
ment of about 1000 insurgents under
the leadership of Capitole, at the farm
of Fermin, iG Matanzas. The insur-
gents left eight killed and the govern
ment force captured a quantity of
arms. Later the Spaniards pursued
the insurgents and killed eighteen more

LEGITIMATE CHEESE INDUSTRY
by the manufacture of filled cheese by
citing the fact that in 1890 there were
100 cheese factories in his state pro-
ducing 100000 pounds of cheese. Last
year there were but thirty-four fac
tories, the production Of which was less
than 100000 pounds. In 1885 our ex-
portation of cheese was $4,000, 900
pounds, while Canada exported but 49,
100000. Last year, as a result of the
expectation of bogus cheese, our ex-
portations had fallen to $1,000, 900
pounds, while Canada's expectations
had increased to 146,0OO00O pounds.

garine law not the best reason?" asked
Mr.. McMillin, why this effort to de-
stroy an industry by taxation should
not be made?"
Mr. Grosvenor denied that the bill
proposed to destroy the industry. The
regulations in the bin, he said, would
compel the sale of filled cheese under
its true name.
Mr.. Otey Dem, Va opposed the
debate in opposition to the bill, and
Mr.. McMillen Oem., Tenn.J a mem
Der of the ways and means committee,
made the principal argument against it.
He argued that there was no reason
why the manufacturers of filled cheese
should be taxed while the manufacture
ers of other forms of cheese were not
taxed, and that resort to the power of
taxation for the suppression of its
production or sale was an abuse of that
power.

should not cheese be? Third, he was in
favor of giving the COW a fair chance,
and of protecting her in the produc
ton of butter and cheese.
Pending the reading of the bill for
debate the committee arose. After the
transaction of some minor business
the house at 5 p. m. took a recess until
s o'clock, the evening session to be for
the consideration of private pension
bills.
NIGHT SESSION.
AT the night session an attack was
made on the pension committee for
recommending larger pensions than
the law allowed, to the widows of Of
ficers Mr.. Taltert Oem.) of South
Carolina, Mr.. Baker Rep) of New
Hampshire, Mr.. Hemingway Rep) of
Indiana and Mr.. Mccall Rep) of
Tennessee all protested against this
course. The latter declared that he
was willing to attend Friday night
sessions if their object was the relief
of the poor soldiers who fought in the
trenches; but if their purpose was to
vote large pensions to officers widows,
he would not be present. Mr. Picker,
chairman of the committee. defended
the course of the committee, especially
in the case of the widow of General
Abner Doubleday, in which the COM
mittee recommended 500 per month
because of the especial circumstances
surrounding the case. Mrs. Doubleday,
he stated had been constantly at her
husbands side during the rebellion
and had endured the actual hardships
of campaigning. At Sumpter she had
stood guard. The bill was not acted
upon, however, before the hour of ad-
journment was reached.
Among the other bills favorably
acted upon was one to pension
Josephine Foote Fairfax, the widow Of
the late Rear Admiral Fairfax, at the
rate of $50 per month.

An Object Lesson.

In recent speech Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, illustrated one phase of this currency question by an object lesson. He showed the audi ence two Mexican dollars and French 5 franc piece. He stated that the Mexican dollars each contained 6f more grains of silver than the United States dollar and that the franc piece had a little less, say per cent less silver than our dollar. He said that the Mexican dollars cost him 55 cents apiece and the 5 franc piece cost. him 95 cents. He then explained that the reason why the Mexican dollars are only worth 55 cents and the French piece, containing less silver, 95 cents, is that Mexico is on a free silver basis, with no gold in circu- lation in the country. whereas France, like this country, is on gold basis and is pledged to keep it's limited silver currency at parity with gold. Mexi- can gold would be worth just as much as any other country's gold.
