he now said he meant, and it was nothing
new. Two years ago he said at Lsxing-

ators of being recreant to their party on
the tariff, that if Cleveland was q Demo-
crat be was not, and he expected to
find himself allied with him.

the injuries may result fatally, or in making
her a lifelong invalid, while there is a slight

Committee Appointed TO Confer on Matter
of Annual Appropriation.

The school committee meeting last
evening was brief superintendent Tar
bell presented a report on the schools
in which compulsory attendance was
commented upon at some length, it being
his opinion that compulsory attendance
advances the education of those who
would otherwise neglect it. The report
showed that the enrolment in the public
schools during the past quarter was as fol-
lows: High schools, 1920; grammar
schools, 52S2; primary schools, 1850;
special schools, 1853; kindergartens, 493;
total, -, S63, or an increase of 452 over
the same quarter last year.
The following report aud resolutions
were presented by President Barney:
To the Honorable School Committee Of the

FLORISTS AND GARDENERS.
The Rhode Island Club Discusses Several
Important Matters.

The Florists and Gardeners Club of Rhode
Island held an exceedingly interesting meet
ing last night and discussed two measures
for tho public good. President O'connor was
in the chair and Secretary Mason read the
minutes Of the preceding meeting. George
Johnston and Thomas Curley OF this city were
elected TO embership. Tie matter of street
vending flowers was taken up. IL was stated
that the psddicrs- go TO the florists In the
morning and boy up ''seconds. (which are
flowers which have been kept in the ice box
two or three days. These are sold on the
street for cut prices. and. although tho Gus
toner may not notice the difference. be is
getting cheated. William Chappell, james b.
Canning and william II. Hazard were ap-
pointed ommittee TO petition the City
Council for resolution providing for tie
licensing Of street vendcrs.
Another question was discussed, which.
while no formal action was taken. is regarded
az the preliminary move toward . florists
exchange. The plan is 20 haze u standard
schedule of prices between growers and re-
tailers. Florits' exchanges as in other cities
are like clearing houses. The growers carry
their products 10 the exchange every morn
ing. where they are graded and prices made
according to their condition The retailers go
to the exchange to buy. This does away with
personal soliciting and rate cutting. The
surplus flowers at night are contributed 10
charitable institutions.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Alt is stated
at the navy department in extenua.
ton of the fact that the court of in.
quiry ON the battleship Texas is held
behind closed doors, that it is not
thought advisable to give publicity to
the possible weaknesses in the ship
just at the present juncture, when the
eyes of other nations are directed &c
our naval and military establishments.
1t is learned that the investigation is
developing evidence of a somewhat
startling nature about the structural
strength of the ships hull which has
caused SO much concern since her keel
was laid. The most remarkable
thing about the recent flooding of the
ship was that the ~watertight doors
leaked and other compartments were
flooded in addition to that in which
the accident occurred. 1t is now de.
veloped that on account of lack Of
stiffness in all the bulkheads OF the
ship and consequent warping of the
frames and plates, none of the doors
when closed fitted Theoretically, as
they should, and the cellular system
of the vessel is therefore practically
worthless. This gives rise to doubts
as to the utility of the vesselin action,
as the wrecking of a single rompart
ment might sink her.

a DESPERATE BATTLE

Said TO be Raging In Pinar del Rio Be
tween Spaniards Under WeyIer and the
Insurgents Under Maceo-rhe FORMER
Making Desperate but Futile Efforts to
Dislodge the Insurgents
New YORK, Nov. 16.-A Jacksonville
(Fla.) special says: Cipher dispatches.
just received report a fierce battle in
Pinar del Rio. 1t is believed hat
Maceo and Weyler have met. The re-
ports of firearms have been almost in
cessantly heard for several hours. No.
details of the engagement are given
other than the statement that n of
the most decisive engagements fought
since Cuba struck her first blow for
freedom is being waged.
The dispatch adds: "1nsurgent
forces are well located in the hills and
are pouring a hot fire into the Spanish
troops, which have repeatedly been
driven back in attempts to capture the
Cuban strongholds. The insurgents
have the advantage of position, being
at a great elevation, but the Spaniards
are making a most desperate attack.
From a distance it looks as if sew
eral towns are in flames. The sky is
lighted up by the constant fire of the
artillery.
whether or not Naceo himself is
directing the insurgents tactics can
not at this time be learned. An out
come of the engagement would be inn
possible to predict, for at present both
sides are fighting as if they intend to.
stick at it until the last man falls.
There is no doubt hat the hills of
Pinar del Rio will be dyed with blood
before either side claims a victory"
The dispatch then describes the
tactics of the Spanish forces as en-
~deavoring to surround each elevation
separately in order % gain a ground
of vantage, but adds that the insur-
gent maneuvers in each case are be-
lieved to have prevented any such re-
suit,
