TROUBLE BY THEIR TAG
TICS.
UNABLE TO CONCENTRATE.
FORCES IN SEVERAL Sec
TIONs.
HEAVY FIRING CLOSE TO HAVANA.
Railroad Bridges Destroyed and
Communication With the South
Cut OF,

HAVANA, JAM 14-The presence Of
an additional force Of insurgents NOV
ing through the province of Santa
Clara and in the direction of the
province of Matanzas will naturally
prevent the Spanish commanders from
sending into the Havana district all
the troops they intended to draw there
with the intention of driving the in
surgents now in this vicinity into Pinar
del Rio westward, until they were all
placed in a position where they could
be either exterminated or forced to
surrender. The captain-general has
been forced to meet this insurgent
movement by sending back towards
Santa Clara several columns of troops
which were on their way through Mat
anzas to reinforce his army in this
vicinity. The insurgents, it is be-
lieved, will thus be able to continue
for some time longer their almost I'M
checked operations, and if the Span
ish generals are not able to prevent
a junction of all the insurgent forces
now in this vicinity the situation will
become more critical Estimating that
the insurgents now have about Is, 600
men, more or less well armed, in this
vicinity, and that they are reinforced
by, say, 10000 more well armed men
from the eastward, Gomez will have,
SO friends of his cause claim, quite
fair-siZed army, and should be able,
all things fairly favorable, to take
the offensive even against a strong
force Of Spanish troops defending Ha-

VOLKSRAAD IN SESSION.
Too Much Excitement to Attempt
Any Legislation.

PRETORIA, Jan. 1.-THE Volksraad
met today and authorized the govern
ment to increase the state artillery
force by 400 men. They also adopted a
government resolution thanking the
Orange Free State for it's sisterly as
sistance, and also Sir Hercules Robin
son, governor of Cape Colony, and Sir
Jacobus de Wet, British agent at Pre-
toria, for the powerful support they had
given the TranSvaal government and
for their efforts to prevent bloodshed. A
message was read to the volksraad from
President Kruger, to the effect that he
intends to discuss in later and calmer
moments, the causes which led to the
daStardly plot against the state and
government. He was firmly resolved,
the message said, to maintain the sac
red rights and interests of the republic
and to establish the same on a firmer
and securer foundation.
The brief sitting of the volksraad then
adjourned till May, owing to the excited
feeling among the burghers, calm and
dispassionate legislation in connection
with the recent events being considered
impossible. DR.. Jameson and the Of
ficers of his raiding expedition and po-
htical prisoners, numbering sixty, are
still in the Jail here, and are well cared
for, pending the final decision between
Sir Hercules Robinson and the Trans
vaal government as to their fate.

WORSE EVERY DAY.

1t does not seem possible to deny
that the Instruction is increasing in
Importance every day. Practically the
whole interior of the island, from east
to west, with the exception of the large
towns, is in possession of the insurg-
ents, who have burned everything COM
bustible and have levied tribute right
and left, under the very noses Of the
Spanish commanders, ana cutting down
the revenue of the Spanish government
from Cuban sources about 80 per cent
according to the insurkt.nt estimates
Under these conditions 80 is not aston
ishing that some change in the COM
membership of the Spanish forces is ex-
pected daily. Even the most intimate
friends Of Gen. Campos Go not claim
that he has been half Successful in his
operations. ~
This afternoon it was. stated on good
authority that Gen. Antonio Maceo had
plundered San Diego dn Nunez, quite
an important town, little to the east
ward and southwark of Bahia Honda,
the port recently captured by the in
surgents on the northern coast 1t
shows that the insurgents are extend

towns to much larger places in Pinar

CAPTURED A. LEADER.


On Sunday the Spaniards made an
important capture, in th& person Of Jose
Cepero, second in cornisand Of the Gu
ban column, under Reee. He was on
his way from Cienfueges to Batabano
with important communications from
the Santa Clara insurgents to Gomez
and Maceo.
report was received tonight that
the railroad station and the railroad
bridge at Govea have been burned by
the insurgents. Govea is on the rail-
road south from Havana, and is south
Of Rincon and near Bejucal. This is
the immediate neighborhood in which
an engagement was supposed to be TAX
ing place this afternoon between Gen.
Linears and the insurgents, cannonad-
ing having been heard in that direction.
There is nothing in the official report
given out to associate the destruction
of the railroad property with the bat
tie, nor are any further details given to
the public of any engagement in that
neighborhood. News comes from Re
medios that an insurgent lieutenant,
with thirty followers, has surrendered

DEAD-HEAD READERS.

Some people make their money by
being small; like Tom Thumb, for in
stance, or like the man who regularly
borrows Il neighbours paper to save
subscribing for himself.
The Gatfney IS. CO. Ledger has been
investigating, and states its belief
that There are one thousand people
who read the Ledger every week, and
do not pay a cent towards its support.
The Ledger therefore addressed the
the following request to It's subscri-
bers: Twill you kindly give US your
aid BY refusing to loan your paper"
The most singular and inconsistent
thing about these dead-head readers
is that they arc generally ready tn
speak unfav0rably OF the paper thus
used, and probably as a pretext for
not purchasing. Reasoning by ana.
logy, they must be relatives OF the
farmer who once took sausage ma
chine ''on trial" After cutting all Of
his years supply Of sausage meat, and
loaning it to several neighbors, who
also used it to cut all theirs, he re-
turned it with complaints as to alleged
defects, and statement that he

THINGS SAID BY PARROTS.
STORIES OFFERED AS PROOF THAT THE
BIRDS KNEW WHAT THEY WE'RE
SAYING.

The old idea that parrots did not
understand what they said seems to
have been exploded by stories Of in.
stances where the birds have used
phrases exactly adapted to the cir
cumstances. There Is the story OF u
parrot whose feathers had been singed
before 1t vas rescued from . burning
fbGiiding The parrot said: y ssss-
'"That was id hot"
A sailor sold talking parrot to d
preacher. 1t talked sailor talk in u
way that distressed its owner, who
consulted a friend and was told that
the way to break the bird OF the
habit Of swearing was to thrash it
soundly. The thrashing was duly ads
ministered. When the bird got its
tongue untwsted its irst remark wass
THAT was a HI Of cyclone.'
A bird that had been hung cut ii d
tree was forgotten, when thunder
shower came up and drenched it. The
bird sat silent for a while, but the
rain kept falling faster and faster.
The bird began to scream!
"It's wet, wet. Gee, but It's weti
rains like all creation"
When a parrot gets hungry it will,
II alone. become nervous, working
from one end of its perch to the other
and back again, looking about as II II
wondered where all of the folks were.
Then it begins to mediate out loud,
"Polly's hungry, dreadful. Where's
Polly'S master? Polly's tired. POlly's
thirsty. It's hot; Polly wants crack
cr." Then should some one stir In an
adjoining room the bird screams it's
Polly wants q cracker" adding
'quick" to it sometimes.
In Brooklyn house there is q par=
rot. One day the cat came in and
looked at the bird, licking its chops to
think how good the breast would taste.
Just then the mistress OF the house
came in, and, seeing the cat, drove it
out, saying;
"Scat. Get out. You'll eat Polly"
The bird sat with its head cooked
on one side, silent. A couple Of days
later the cat got into the room unno1
ticed by any one but the bird. Sud-
denly the parrot gave yell, and then
said:
"Cat eat Polly! Get out Get ott |
Sc-a-tr
The scat was long drawn out, and
was repeated with a jerk. The mis-
tress got there just in time to see the
cat leap at the bird. When the two
were separated the bird said.
"Polly's cat. Polly's eat. Cat eat
Polly. Boo-hoo!' 1t had heard the
children cry, and initiated the voice as
nearly as it could.
