BECOMING DEMORAlIZED.
Forces of Gomez Closely Pursued by
Spanish Columns.

HAVANA, Jan. 29.-Maceo's position
continues to be regarded here as criti-
cal and it is considered certain that
Gomez's attempt to march west is for
the purpose of succoring him. Spanish
columns pursue Gomez closely and
harass his forces, compelling them to
fight daily, and it is claimed here that
they are becoming demoralized. Grave
reports are circulated of Gomezs sick
ness, and this, combined with the
stores which his men attempt to carry,
is said to make their advance slower
than it would otherwise be.
Goniez's and Maceo's men are far
from home, most of them being resi-
dents Of Santiago de Cuba province.
They are unfamiliar with the Western
country and they do not dare to dis
band and 60 among the people, thus
making themselves known as individ.

before Secretary of Agriculture Morton
during the day on an appeal from an
order of Chief Moore of the weather
bureau, removing the signal service
station at ST. Vincent, Mimi, and
transferring the same to Williston, n.

Minneapolis are responsible for the re-
moval of the st. Vincent station be-
cause the extreme cold weather at that
point is detrimental to immigration.

BONE VIGOROUS SPEECHES.
Eoreigu Affairs and Finance Occupy the
Senate's Attention.


WAsHINGToN, Jan. 29.-Foreign af-
fairs and finance occupied the attention
of the senate. Mr.. Thurston of Ne
braska vigorously upheld a strong up.
plication Of the Monroe doctrine and
was at times warmly applauded for the
patriotic ring of his sentiments. Sena-
tor Turpie of Indiana touched On the
Turkish atrocities in brief but very
energetic speech, in which he declared
that the resolution just passed by con-
gress should be followed by blow,
shot, which should crash through the
sultan's sergaliC> sweeping back Mo-
hammedanism and advancing Chris
tianity.
Mr.. Voorhees, Of Indiana. who was
until recently chairman of the finance
committee, spoke in advocacy of
The Remonetization of Silver
and sharply arraigned those responsible
for the elimination of silver from the
coinage. Mr.. Clark of Wyoming also
spoke i'll favor Of silver coinage.
Another. effort was made by Mr..
Jones of Arkansas i'll charge Of the
silver bond bill, to have the vote fixed
for Thursday. Mr.. Hill objected, how
ever, and Mr. Jones notified senators
to prepare for test of endurance on
Thursday as he would ask them to sit
until a vote was taken.
A fruitless discussion of the resolu-
ton to inquire into the arrest Of Eugene
V. Debs occurred during the day, but
action was deferred.

VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass, Jan. 90
Twenty five men from the steamer j.
w. Hawkins, supposed to have been
bound for Cuba with men and arms for
the insurgents, have been landed here
by the schooner State. The Hawkins
was wrecked OF Long Island Monday
morning.
The schooner Alecia b. Crosby, which
arrived here later in the day, brought
l3 more men from the steamer j. W.
Hawkins. The mon displayed great
anxiety to get back to New York and
would have very little to say about
their affairs 1t was learned, however,
that 1G of their number had been lost.
Jose G. Hernandez, Cuban, who was
on board the Hawkins, told the follow
ing story to reporter for the Associ-
ated Press:
Says 1t Was a Flibusterer.
1--WE left New York in the Hawkins
last Saturday night. The steamship
belonged to the Cuban revolutionary
party, having been purchased recently
by them for filibustering work against
men of the Cuban revolutionary party,
in addition to crew of 16 men, COM
manded by Captain Hail. We put out
quietly in the dead of night, and in

$50, 900 worth of arms OH board. We
had two HotchkisS guns, 200 Reming-
ton and Winchester rifles and 100000
rounds of ammunition. In addition to
this there were 5000 pounds of dyna-

ST. PAUL IS OUT OF IT
Some Other City Must Be Sc
IeCted For the Grand Army
Encampment.
Concessions Demanded For
the Veterans Refused by
Western Lines.
One Cent Rate For the Pythian
Conclave at Minneapolis
Also Denied.

CHICAGO, Jan. 30. "A meeting of the
Western Passenger association was held
fer the purpose of considering the re-
quests for an extension of time OH the
tickets to the G. A. r. encampment at
st. Paul and rates below those already
granted for the meeting Of the Knights
Of Pythias at Minneapolis. Both re-
quests were denied. Some of the roads
were willing to make the extension on
G. A. r. tickets but the general feeling
was against it and the matter was de-
cided in the negative. The Great
Western road, which was the first to
guarantee rate for the Grand Army
of cent per mile, was strongly i'll favor
of making the tickets
With a Twenty. Day Limit
instead of 80 days, as asked by the G.
A. Il. The other roads were against it,
and it is likely that the Great Western,
after going through the preliminaries
called for by the association agreement,
will give time limit of at least 20 days
on all tickets sold over its line. The
other roads will not, however, meet this
rdtc, Certainly uOb loT SOluo LuOutilS,
and the officers of the G. A. r. say that
they cannot depend Oh one road. In
fact, Commander Walker of the G.. A.
r. is under instructions from the execu-
tive committee to give up the idea Of
holding the encampment at st. Paul
''unless the desired concession can be
obtained from the Western Passenger
association"
Would Demoralize Business.
The refusal Of the roads to grant the
extension was Oh account of the demor-
aliZation which they claim would result
to their business if they issued tickets
with so extended a return limit. In
the matter of the Knights Of Pythias
the refusal to meet the 1-cent rate
made by the 500 line was unanimous.
# the encampment is taken to Buffalo
or any other point Ill the East 1t viii
not be granted any better terms, and
possibly not as good as those offered by
the Western roads. The meeting had
positive assurances from the Joint
Traffic association that if either the en-
campment or the meeting Of the
Knights was held i'll their territory that
10 better rates would be made than
have already been made by the Western
lines.

Yoar Story and Your Poetry.

There is always certain awkward. ness when a poet, even poet covered with transparent veil of fiction, intro duces his own compositions and recites them aloud. We are irresistihly remind cd of scene in "Nicholas Nickleby. where tho hero is trying his prentice hand on sentimental drama. and is told by his brother actors that he must introduce a dance for the phenomenon. Upon my word don't see how it's to b. done, says Nicholas; but the trage- dian says it is obviously easy; the dis tresssd lady, having been urged to rouse herself by the faithful servant, announces that she will learn to suffer with forti- tude Do you remember that dance, my honest friend. which, in happier days, you practiced with this sweet an gel? It never failed to calm my spirits , then. Oh, let mo see 1t once again he fore I dier' "There it is-cue for the band, before l die'-and oil they go That's the regular thing; isn't it. Tom my!" That's it" replied Mir. Folair. ''The distressed lady, overpowered by old recollections, faints at the end of the dance, and you close in with a pie ture."
 It twould be irreverent to say that Mir. Alfred AuStiu's method of introducing his poetry into its setting of prose at all resembles the method adopted by the members of Mir. Vincent Crummles' company, but there is certain ingen- iousness in his manner of so doing that almost allows of comparison. For i'm stance, the poet is warned of bad news by Lamia; "'What may that beg' he inquired. Your elm, your favorite elm. is uprooted, and lies prostrate on the ground I know it, he said. and knew it three days ago; indeed, on tho very afternoon of its fall 'Three days ago, Then yon have had time to write mournf1l poem on the catastrophe.
