New Year Means Progress,

A new year, not simply another year.
Many people may be said to live the
same old year over and over again. Each
succeeding year is the same unit added
once more to the sum Of life There is
the same task performed in the same
spirit with the same motive; the same
imperfections of character. the same
failures Of conduct. The times may
change and progress hasten, but if we
stand still, we live only the old year
once again. A new year never comes to
the contented OK; he simply grows old.
1t is not the lapse Of time or the prog
ress of civilization, but our progress,
which makes possible to us new year

What Happy New Year Means.

A happy New Year! What does it
mean? Are not these words often thrown
out as a greeting without thought or
depth Of meaning? Is it a year in which
to ourselves come wealth and health,
prosperity and friendship; one spent III
the pursuit of fleeting pleasure and
filled with self conferred interest: Mol
Rather let the wish be to each and all,
as the new year dawns with all its op-
portunities, that tho days of 1896 may
be we'll spent-flled with thought and
sympathy for those around; that in self
forgetting and kindly deeds the happi-
ness of others may be ever sought, and
then most truly will each act rebound
again in joy and blessing to the heart
from which it springs. Booth.

private letter as follows as regards
condition in that part of the coun-
try:-C1ima te-The climate is all
man can ask for; sunshine and rain,
delightful and warm; all the way from
10 to IS degrees above 0, since I came
down. Quality of soil The soil seems
to he of a fair quality and produces
big crops. 1t is mostly gray sub-soil
and some sandy loan; level as floor,
with bitches through the fields and on
both sides of the roads. Price of
land-:All the way from $500 down to
$500, according to quality and loca-
ton round the city. For about u
miles land is high, but when you get
out from so to 100 miles, land is very
cheap, from 81 to SO. Lots inside the
corporation are worth from 500 lots
to $1,000. per foot. Character and
class of people-the city people as a
rule are-polite and accomo-
|ating, especially the ladies, with
erect bodies, gracful forms, they look
Us though they had been formed in

quite as we'll, but are as class law
abiding people. Should I be content

plicated question to answer In short
time. don't think we will ever be
satisfied and commended in this world,

The procession was mile long, with

s1an:ards Have Lost Control of the Bal

HAVANA, Jan. 6.-Havana has spent
q day of nervousness aud anxiety and
has teen i'll hourly apprehension Of an
attack by the insurgent army or part
OF it. Saturday the bands commanded
~ Nunez and Bermudez were seen at
Managua, village not more than 10
miles from Havana. Many hundreds
OF non-com Blatant inhabitants Of the
island have come to Havana to await
she passing of the storm. Still more
have sent their wives and families here
as safe refuge. This class of the pop
ulatlon is in state of utter consterna.
ton and dismay and spreads all infec-
tlous spirit Of panic through all other
circles. The authorities no longer make
the slightest concealment of the serious
view they take II the situation and
there are some who do not hesitate to
rail at the Spanish generals and the
troops and make bitter criticisms of
them.
Failed to Stop Gomez.
The Spanish authorities have main
tanned Gordon Of military forces rum
ming from Havana to the town of Bata-
bano, on the south coast, since the
invasion Of Matanzas province by the
insurgents, beyond which they hoped
to prevent the advance Of the destroy
ing columns Of their enemies This
Gordon has proven no more effective
than was the line laid to keep the rebels
out Of Santa Clara province. The line
was broken by the forces under Gomez
and the main body of the insurgents
has passed into the province of Pinar
del Rio and are now overrunning that
province with fire and sword The
passage was effected near Batabano at
Pozo Redondo, and Gomez burned the
village OF Gabriel Oh the way and par
TALLY destroyed the town of Guira
Melena and of Alquizar. The work of
destruction in Havana province has
been as complete as was that in Matan-
zas and the sugar lands of Pinar del
Rio are fast being put into the same
desolate condition. In effect the whole
island Of Cuba outside of the city of
Havana is now
In the Hands of the Enemy.
They havo not annihilated the Spanish
forces, nor have they routed the whole
army in any single pitched battle, yet
the situation is completely in their
hands, and so completely have they
outgeneraled the Spanish that, to all
appearances, Campos' army might as
well be in Spain for any check it puts
upon the movements of Maxine
Gomez's army. The latter's progress
has been accompanied with continual
accessions to his forces by volunteers
and he has captured enough horses,
rifles and artillery to add immensely to
the effective strength Of his men.
There is little doubt really felt here
that he will get as much OF more SYM
pathy in Pinar del Rio than he did in
Santa Clara and Matanzas, and the
general fear here is now that, after
sweeping over Pinar del Rio, he will
come upon Havana from the west, CO.
operating in an attack with the forces
of the insurgents which have been east
of Havana for several days past.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Speculation

the new bond issue was set at rest when
Secretary Carlisle made public a circu-

POPULAR one and the circular gives
notice that the government will sell
$500, 100000 50-year per cent coupon
Or registered bonds dated Feb. /, 1895,
for which purchasers will be required
to pay in gold coin Or gold certificates.
This is tho first issue by the present ad-

bonds at one time. The circular also
contains an intimation Of a possible
further issue of bonds should the issue
or sale of an additional or different form
Of bond for the

be authorized by law before Feb. 5.
The fact that the bonds will be issued
