Terror at Havana
pecial to the EVENING NEWS

New YORK, Jan. IA special to
the Journal from Havana says: The
insurgent armies are within sight of
Havana, and the firing of mdskets and
cannon is plainly heard in the eastern
suburb. The trains that can be gotten
into the city on the few railroads that
have not yet been destroyed by the
patriots are loaded with refugees from
the surrounding cities and villages.
Hundreds of field hands also have ar
rived in Havana with their families.
Some of these men say that they could
see the insurgents blow up railroad
bridge Immediately after the train had
crossed, within a few miles from the
city

IT sounds odd tOhear men discussing
the probability Of half of the electoral
votes of Texas being cast for the re-
publican presidential ticket next year,
but men who know the situation IN the
state are doing that very thing. Frank
WEIGH, a Texan who is now in Wash
7ngton, said: There is hardly any
doubt of a successful combine between
the Texas republicans and populists,
and their combined forces ought to be
able to knock out the democrats, as the
present governor was only elected by a
plurality Il has been agreed that the
populists shall name the entire state
ticket and that the presidential electors
and representatives in congress shall
.be equally divided with the republi-
cans

THE republican house does not pro-
pose wasting any time while waiting
for the tariff and bond bills to be re-
ported from the finance committee and
acted upon by the senate. 1t is the
policy of the republican leaders in the
house to make the session a short one.
So fan as the action of one branch OF
congress can do so, and in accordance
with that policy the regular appropria-
ton bills are to be passed as rapidly as
possible. The pension appropriation
bill will be reported to the house this
week. 1t carries an appropriation OF
$137 100000 and three important
amendments to the pension law. First,
one providing no pension shall be sus-
pended on charge of fraud until the
charge shall have been adjudicated in
It. S. district court, except where the
alleged fraud constitutes a plain viola
ton of statutes, as in the case of the
REL marriage of widow: second, one
providing that any claim granted I'M
der the act of 1890 shall date from the
date of application, instead Of from the
date of adjudication as at present;
third, one repeating the section of the
act of 1890 which requires q widow to
show that she is dependent for her
support on her daily labor.
