Getting Serious IN Africa.

LONDON, March 19.-The Times
says in an editorial: The evacua-
ton of Cassala will entirely alter
the whole situation for Italy, and
it is only too likely to react
seriously upon the position in
Egypt. The article also points out
that England, with the support of
the Driebund, commands a ma
jority of the Egyptian debt COM
missioners, and therefore Frances
refusal to consent to the expense of
the Nile campaign being charged
to the Nile budget will not avail,
If the Cassala news be true, the
Times goes on to say, the enemy
will probably carry the war into
the territory still held by the
Italians.
Under these circumstances, any
help rendered to Italy will be
doubly welcome to Germany and
Austria. Whether Osman Digma
moves in the direction of Suakim
or Khartoum, he is sure to give
the Egyptian troops plenty OF
work,

by men exclusively. The bishop
preached principally upon the sub

toward God. The bishops optim-
ism and confidence in the i'm.

IMPORTANT L. A. W. BULLETIN.
Chairman Gideon Comes Down on the
Amateurs and Talks Law


NEW YORK, March 19.-Chsir-
man Gideon's weekly bulletin just
issued contains a number Of i'm
portant rulings. f, G. Bald, Of
Buffalo, is suspended from all
tracks pending investigation into
charges that he sold prizes. Chair
man Gideon says active steps will
be taken to prevent amateur riders
from violating their rules. He in
sisted that Southern and Northern
California must be regarded as two
distinct states by the l.. A. W., and
the racing board and an amateur
rider OF either divisions cannot
compete outside the boundaries OF
this division at a distance Of 100
miles from his place of residence.
He claims that the greatest abuse
of the league rules and racing
boards confidence are committed
by these men, who obtain their ex-
penses and other concessions and
yet seek to remain amateurs. When
men travel this far from their
homes, to race under the care and
direction of representatives OF
trade, there can be but one infer
ence. Men in the employ OF the
trade who are allowed expenses In
travel from meet to meet enjoy ad-
vantages which 1t was never con-
templated the amateur would
have. Such men do injustice to
those who are yet amateurs per-
force, and who are struggling to
develop themselves with their own
resources. Amateurism, he says,
is the nursery of racing and when
it so develops one as to command
the assistance Of trade he belongs
in the professional class and there
he will be transferred by the board
under provisions which authorize
it to do so.

A SURE ENOUGH FIGHT.
The Cuban Insurgents 5000 Strong are
Driven Back.

NEW YORK, March ia dis
patch to the World from Havana
says: Maceo's band now concen-
trated in Pinar del Rio, met the
columns Of Col. Hernandez and
Nuctan, near Csndelaria Tuesday.
Maceo has been joined by Bande-
70. Altogether the insurgents
nearly 5000 strong, opened fire
from dense thickets upon the troops
Of Col. Hernandez as the latter were
proceeding st gallop. The Span
ish leader threw out strong Skin
mish line consisting OF the Taerifa
battalion and the Victoria squad
ron Of calvary and artillery. The
insurgents were driven back but
rallied to the second charge,
the machettes in the air. The
Spanish troops met these on
slaughts firmly and compelled
their assailants to retreat a second
time. In the confusion the
Spanish troops used their
bayonets killing and wound
ing many Of their assailants.
Darkness ended the struggle
Msceo met with heavy loss. The
highest ranking Spanish officers
killed were Capt. Torreojas and
Capt. Guerrero. The total Spanish
loss was sixty.six killed and
wounded. The engagement was
the most serious that has occurred,
being no mere skirmish but for
midable contest OF the opposing
forces. The lieutenant colonel
commanding the Luchana battal-
ion and the major commanding
the two companies Of the Taerifa
battalion led the charge in front Of
their men. They will be pro-
NOTED. Col. Yuctan has been rec.
commended by Weyler for promo
tion as general Of brigade. He
was formerly a member Of Wey-
ler's staff.
The insurgents have disappeared
from the railway lines running to
Matanzas, Jovellanos, Union de
los Reyes, Batabano and Ganajay,
and trains proceeded to those
points this morning without OBJ
structiop for the first time in many
days.
The insurgents recently visited
the farm of John Fiato in Bata-
bano, and demanded that money
be given them. Being refused
they afterwards returned and
burned the house, outbuildings
and cane fields. Many animals
were destroyed. From different
parts of the province Of Havana
come the stories OF the destruction
of cane fields

To the Daily LIGHT:
The records show that Mr.. GRAY has
been paid S13, 800 out of he sewer fund,
while $4,000 ha re been appropriated from
the same fund 10 pay salaries Of Mr.. Pan
coast and his assistants, including the
expense OF an occasional pleasure trip
undertaken by the engineer. This makes
a total Of S33, 100 taken from the sewer
fund for engineer talent" in the course
of thirteen months, during which time
some twenty four miles OF sewer were
built-about one third Of the projected
mileage. At this rate the engineering
talent to build a work contracted for
1891 900 and to be completed in 400 days
according to the contract, will cost
500, 800, while the time to complete the
work will be extended to three years. 1t

Milling Output and Report.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 19.-The
Northwestern Miller reports the
flour output last week at three
centres as follows:
Minneapolis, March IA, 1896,
2l1,3l0 berrels; March 16, 1895,
170,S60 barrels.
Superior - Duluth, March IA,
1896. 40,435 barrels; March 16, 1895,
1866 barrels.
Milwaukee, March IA, 1896, 80
ITO barrels; March 16, 1895, 1890
barrels
Total, March IA, 1896, 1855
barrels; March 16, 1895, 234, 525 bar
rels.
Observation-Disclosures this
week promises to approximate the
same figures. Flour output was a
shade better last week. Nearly
all millers booked enough orders
to OBJECT their output, a few doing
a little better.
The domestic markets took
rather more flour last week, the
larger Gales being made in that
quarter. The advance in -four is
made with a view to making 1t
more nearly on parity with
wheat. Export shipments we're
$500 barrels against $1,000 the
week before, 1920 in 1895, and
4S,400 in 1894.
Superior Duluth-Flour mar.
kets remain in horrible state and
there are reports OF price cutting,
which, il true are record breakers.
Very little business is doing and
the only mills who are selling are
those who are willing to take cost
or little less. There has been
some inquiry for flour abroad for
April shipment and one mill sold a
round lot for London account.
Shipments from the mills here
were 10000 barrels less than the
production last week. Export
shipments were $3.50 barrels
against ll,400 the preceding week
and 1876 in 1895.
Tennessee The slump in wheat
affected business uufavorably.
Micbigsn-Dull.
Milwaukee-Butf four mills were
in operation and the week was one
OF the quietest on record.
Chicago-Clear was about the
only brand that was much want.
ed, but buyers and sellers were
apart as to price on that.
Dakotas and Northern Mime
sot&-Production was much cur.
tailed.
Buff4lo-Complaints are about
as bitter as ever. Thore were
reports OF Gales far below cost.
Baltimore--Only X rays could
discover life in the market.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the mar
ket was adversely affected by the
decline in wheat, but few flour
holders were willing to concede
much to make sales.
New York City-If possible the
state of things was duller than
ever, the paralysis extending to all
departments.

from millers ranged all the way
