umn from the Orient, which had been
moving west for about month. These
forces, added to those which remained
in this province, make the situation
more serious here than at any time. The
outposts Of the enemy are within 10
miles of the city.
The government holds nearly every
RAILROAD town, although most of them
have been entered and partially burned
down. Only by the side of forts are the
troops able to hold those towns, and
while shut up behind barricades, they
exchange shots with portion of the
invading party.
Other detachments search stores for
arms, ammunition and other supplies,
and set fire to buildings owned by Span
iards. As rule property of Cubans
who sympathize with the rebellion, MS
well as that of Americans, is spared,
though in some instances whole towns
are given to the torch. Outside of the
fortified towns in this province are many
small towns which have been occupied
by local bands of insurgents for weeks.
The
CUBANS MELT AWAY

Spanish troops, but reappear when the
Spanish leave.
Railroads are operated in this manner.
AS telegraph wires are down nest of the
time, and there is no telling what is
ahead Of the train, an exploring engine,
with one armored car, advances cautious
ly along the line The engineer
watches for missing rails and sawed
tires, while the troops watch for insur-
gents The rate Of progress is about five
miles an hour. The train follows close
ly, also with one or two Armored cars
and a strong guard When rails are
found missing others are laid, unless in
an attack. The train to Batabanoa is
sent out two days week. Although it
land, and has block houses within rife
range of each other, the train seldom
reaches its destination in one day. The
Western Railroad into Pinar del Rio has
not run further than 10 miles from
this city in six weeks. No trains have
gone to Guanajay in month. Trains
to Matanzas seldom get through. Nearly
every station on the line has been de-
stroyed. In other provinces affairs are
about the same. Operations of the in
surgents are directed against the rail
roads which are employed in moving gov
ernment troops and planters whose crops
furnish Spain with the revenues Of the
war. Incidentally much other property
is destroyed. Providing bands Of robbers
and inoendiaries follow movements of
both armies and commit outrages. The
insurgents hang these men. and the Span
iards shoot them whenever they are
caught and convicted

NO MORE TROOPS TO AFRICA.
That Still Is the Cry of the Mob in italian
Cities.

- Rome, March S.-There was a repitit-
ion of she disorders at Pavia last night.
For tirae the mob held possession
of the town. Reinforcements OF troops
were hastily sent-to the place and upon
their arrival the garrison cavalry charged
the rioters, who were gathered in front
OF the prefecture. Quite a number of
persons were injured by being struck
by the hoofs of horses OF the fat sides
of the cavalrymen' sabres.
The commander of the cavalry was
wounded and Is leaders of the mob ar
rested.
1t is said that the despatch to Africa
of six batteries and six battalions of
troops is due to the urgent request OF
Gen. Baidissera. At Naples, where
transports ara awaiting to receive rein
orcements for the African army peo-
pie are greatly excited and seem deter
mined to oppose the embarking of troops.

Narrow Escape for Tug Kate Jones.

Boston, March s.-The tug Kate Jones
had her maiumast and smokestack car
ried away today, while coming up by No.
buoy with tho four masted schooner
Sarah Q. Ropes. The srg was ahead of
the schooner, when it slackened speed to
allow the crew of the schooner to take in
the hawser. The tug drifted across the
schooner's bow, its engines having
caught on the centre, rendering it help
less. Had 1t not been for the mate of the
Ropes checking her Roadway by letting
the anchor go the schooner probably
would have cut the tug in two.

How London Regarded the First Produc-
utory Duel.''
Boston, March "A special to the
Globe from London says: Gilbert &
Sullivan's latest opera, "The Grand
Duke; or the Statutory Duel" was per-
formed for the first time tonight at the
Savoy theatre. 1t is by no means the best
of the Gilbert & Sullivan productions;
in fact. it is disappointment judged by the
standard which Its authors themselves
themselves have imposed. but it is so
brilliantly presented that it scored a good
success. 1t comprises two acts of fun
and dancing, mad, merry burlesque.

WILL PAY In PAPER.
Therefore Italian Securities Are Not
Highly Esteemed,
AMONG GERMAN FINANCIERS WHO
HAVE MONEY TO LEND.

Under Present Conditions Then No Nor e
Money May BE Expected From That
Ouarter-Hoped That King Humbert
viii Be Unable to Form a New Cabinet
Other Foreign Intelligence of Interest.
Berlin. March Sit is believed and
indeed almost desired in official circles
here that King Humbert will be unable
to find the Italian statesman who will be
willing to construct a new cabinet on
the basis Of the continuance of the wal
in Abyssinia and will consequently be
obliged to recall Signor Crispi, who after
strengthening the cabinet, will order
Gen. Baldissera to seize the first CHARGE
to fight successful battle with the
Hoans and then terminate the African
campaign.
During a discussion in financial circles
yesterday upon the possibility OF ltaly's
concluding loan in Germany the re-
port got abroad and became generally
credited. This view was commended to
King Humbert by parsonage high in
German official circles.
In regard to the floating OF such loan,
there is only one opinion, Germany al
ready holds more than enough italian Sc
cugities. Nothing Italy has to offer
could induce the operation of new Ital-
ian loan in Germany With a crushing
national debt her banks of issue are prae-
tically insolvent and her rate of taxation
at maximum figure; Italy can obtain
the sinews Of war only through private
arrangements outside of the ordinary
principles upon which financial houses
work. There are still resources in Italy
which il pledged, might induce the syn
dictate to give the government a substan-
tiaI loan; otherwise no loan would be
made German fnaneiers consider that
the corruption in the administration of
the Italian government and the absolute
corruption prevailing in the civil service
have been potent factors in the decline of
the country, and if any more German
money goes TO Italy; it must have much
better guarantees than existing ones.
Within the last few days advices from
Rome have reported it probable that the
government would pay it's foreign oredi-
tors in paper currency which is now at a
discount Of IA per cent.
