HAVANA, Jan. 7.-word has Just
been received that the sound of cannon
and musketry have been heard in the
nelghborhood Of GuanaJay, an impor-
tant town OF 1000 Inhabitants in Pinar
del Rio, forty-fve miles south Of Ha-
vana. 1t is supposed that an engage
ment is taking place there between the
forces OF Gen. suarez Valdez and the
insurgents, but the numbers engaged,
or the course which the fortune of the
fight Is taking, IS not known.
The insurgents are burning and de-
stroyfng property up to within eight
miles of Havana. The district around
the village Of CaIabazar suffered to-
day. Calabazar is only two miles from
yenlo, where the apparatus is located
upon which Havana depends for Its
water supply. In the Calabazar and
Hoyo Colorado districts the cane has
been burned in the fields OF MaullR,
CAIRO and Baracoa.

Says Excise Law Must he Enforced Until
tits Repealed.

NEW YORK. Jan. 7.--Mayor Strong
sent his annual message to the board Of
alderman to-day. After a review OF
the cIty's finances the mayor refers to
the police department IN the excise
questIon rs follows:
One OF the most difficult questions
that faced the commissioners OF police
was the enforcement OF the excise law,
and that for the reasons that the peo-
pie, as a rule. were unfamiliar with
their exact provisions. However much
our views may vary upon the privi-
leges TO be granted on one or another
day OF the week. the primal principal
must be observed that the laws enacted
must be enforced until they nre re-
pcnled. In no other way can police
force be properly organized, dlscl-
piincd and maintained.
Personally do not believe that the
enforcement OF our excise laws will ever
fail to breed more or less discomfort un-
til the question OF the Sunday opening
OF the saloons is established by n vote Of
the people themselves.
do not believe that the most health
full enforcement OF the law can be had,
however great may appear the neces-
slty therefor, by the employment Of n
system Of espionage that creates sus-
plcion either us 90 It's fairness or the
manner In which It Is exercised.

PHILADELPHIA'S LEXOW
Inquiry Reveals Some Startling corrup-
tIon in the Police Force.

tIon in the Police Force.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Jan. 1.-THE
testimony at to-day's session OF the
senate investigating committee was OF
a decidedly sensational character. and
like yesterdays was directed against
the police In Mayor WaTwlck's ward,
the Fifteenth. A number OF policemen
and ex-pOlicemen were examined, the
lattar having all been discharged since
the last August delegate election
when Senator Quay run FOR
state chairman. The witnesses not
only told OF the active participation OF
the police OF the ward in politics, but
charged that Scrgeants Green and NC
Manus were partners during the latter
part Of 1892 In maintaining a house OF
III fame on Green street.
policeman James W. Nnylor gave
this information, and said he was also
n partner. He said the place broke up
in nbout three months, and he and the
Sergeants were compelled by the wo-
man who conducted the place, Molly
Blanchard, to pay her money under
threat OF arrest. Charges were also
made against house Sergeants William
Francis, son Of Lieut.. Francis, OF in
toxlcatlon while on duty, and bringing
liquor into the station house. The tes-
timony against the lieutenant was in
the main bearing on his activity in the
recent election, when he Is alleged to
have made m active personal canvass
for the administration and TO have or
dercd the men under him TO support
the same powers, Many OF those who
did not were discharged for the most
trivial reasons.
1t is being claimed by friends OF the
committee that attempts are being
rnnde to intimIdate certain witnesses
who are expected to testify.

REPUBLICAN, CAUCUS
or Senators on the Tariff TBIIl-lIHJortty
Opposed TO Amendments.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1.-THE
Republican senators went into caucus
Mt 1890 o'lock to-day, but adjourned Mt
I2 TO meet again after tho conclusion
OF the days session Of the senate. The
entire time OF the caucus was con-
sumed in discussing proposed amend
mentS to the tariff bill, but no formal
expression was secured from any OF
them. The prevailing sentiment ap-
peared to be against alt amendments
and the tendency favorable to report
ing the bill as It came from the house.
Several senators expressed doubts as to
the wisdom OF the bill in any shape,
and there was an evident disposition
to regard the bill us purely an emer-
gency measure.
Senator Quay moved the adoption OF
the house bill. but the motion was not
voted on, and was In effect lost sight
OF in the general discussion which fol-
lowed.
So far as there was any expression
OF opinion by senators present the cau-
Gus appeared disposed TO act hnrmoni-
ously except in one or two instances.
Mr. Baker, the new senator from Kan
sas, made q vigorous speech IN oPposi-
tton to the house bill X It came before
the senate unamended. He said that
IL any tariff legislation was to be en-
acted he thought It should be done on
Republican and protection lines, and
added that he did not regard the house
bill MS Republican measure. He also
advised against any taritt legislation,
saying that he favored course OF nom
action in that respect In view OF the
declaration OF the administration that
the present tariff would afford all the
that II any legislation should be at
tempted at this time the changes should
be made in few schedules only, such
as those covering wool and sugar,
which should be reformed upon purely
protection lines.
Other speeches were mnde by Semi
tors Allison, AldrIch. Perkins. Hale,
Chandler, HAwley and Burrows. Sem
ator Burrows contended for an advance
in the rates on chemicals, oils, metals
and agricultural products, while Mr..
Perkins advocated in strong language
the placing OF sugar on a footing OF
equality with other products. -
Senators Allison and Aldrich. eX-
planned briefly the attitude OF the Re-
publican members OF the finance COM
mIttee, saying that while the commit

were OF the opinion that II any changes
were to be made they should be in the
wny OF Increasing the house rates on
agricultural products. spirits and pot
terry and adding sugar to the list, to be
increased 10 per cent.
