A BAD ASPECT.

London, Dec. 30.-The New York
correspondent Of the Times argues
the fact that Senator Sherman defn-
itely allies himself with the pres
ident on the Venezuelan question
argues i'll for the cessation Of the
controversy.
Mr.. Sherman sides with President
Cleveland against all the best law
yers on the question, both American
and European and against Monroe
himself, says the correspondent. lie
thinks Senator Shernlan's attitude
indicates that the republicans are
not entirely separated from Pres,

that it would authorize a bond

INSURGENTS ROUTED.

Havana, Dec. 30.-Word has
been received from Gen. Val
deg saying he overlook the in
surgent bands of Gomez and
Maceo at the Maria plantation,
where they were found stand
ing in an advantageous posi-
ton. The engagement which
followed was evidently a hot
one, the insurgent cavalry max
ing vigorous attacks upon the
TANKS of the Spanish troops.
The artillery fire of the Spanish
proved effective and the official
report which is now received
says that the insurgents took
flight in two directions, having
been divided by the assault
upon them. They left seven
killed and many arms and car
fied away many wounded.
It is reported the Spanish
forces went in pursuit of the
flying insurgents and overlook
them at the Caney plantation.
: Here the enemy made a Vigor-
Gus resistance for an hour, but
was finally compelled to re-
treat, leaving eight killed and
carrying away their wounded.
The troops, it is said, had sew
enCeen wounded. tits further
reported that an engagement is
now in progress at a point be-
tween the villages of Cerrico,
Cuevitas and Jovella between
Gen. Valdez and the insurgent
forces~ In spite of the official
reports the feeling is entertained
here that the Spanish forces
have again sustained serious
reverse, and that instead of the
Insurgents being repulsed and
routed, the Spaniards are retir-
ing before their advance. There
are manifestations of grave
uneasinnss in official circles
and the belief is prevalent that
the insurgents intend another
excursion into Matanzas pro
vince and westward toward
Havana.

Discussion of Arrangements for Marketing
the Fruit.
Special lCorresponden nee or ,;azette and journal
Milford, July 2. The Farmers In
stitute met here yesterday afternoon to
discuss the marketing of the peach
crop. John j. Rosa presided ano Wes-
ley Webb served az secretary.
The committee on transportation re-
ported that correspondence had been
had with George Stephens division
freight agent, who expressed pleasure
that farmers are taking action to bring
more cash buyers to the Peninsula and
to extend the distribution of the crop.
He wrote that no will be glad to have a
conference with committee from the
institute at an early date. On motion,
of W. II. Phillips this committee was
instructed to secure, if possible, solid
through train to New England, to leave
the Delaware, Maryland g. Virginia
road as late as or 5 p. M, and to run
through to Boston on fast time. This
will gather up all the peaches that are
picked in the afternoon, instead Of
compelling them to be held over until
the next day.
Growers were earnestly advised to
Gull fruit carefully, pack honestly and
use carriers instead of the ordinary
basket. for the best grades, and sell
at the home stations whenever fair
price is offered. Mr.. Rosa, Mr.. Phil
lips and others thought it not best to
stand for few cents per package, but
to encourage the home buyers to the
greatest possible extent.
Marshall II. Prettyman exhibited a
new package, called the Delaware car
rier, which is superior to the Georgia
carrier. The institute endorsed this
style of carrier and it is possible that a
factory will be started at Milford this
year to mako 1T. The machinery is all
ready for shipment, and the business
can be started at short notice. Peach
baskets have sold at $50 per l, 600 in
Milford, but have advanced to S33
with prospects of another advance.
They are now selling at Dover at S37.
