UHL FOR GERMANY.
Assistant Secretary of State Will Succeed
 Amba ssador I,unyon.

Washington, Feb, 4.-The post of ambassador to Germany to succeed the late MT. Runyon has been rendered to MT. Edwin F, Uhl of Michigan.
 MT. Uhl, who is now assistant secre- tary of state, has accepted the offer.
 The nomination will go to the senate this week. probably on Wednesday,
 The nomination of Assistant Secre- tary Uhl to the important post of am- bassador to Germany is something of a surprise.
 It had been currently reported, and somewhat generally believed, that Consul General De Kay at Berlin would be promoted to succeed the late Am bassador Runyon.
 Assistant Secretary Uni, although now hailing from Michigan, is native of New York. He is a young man, and was comparatively unknown when he was appointed assistant secretary of state.
 MT. UhPs best known public acts were in connection with the Allianca incident. After a Spanish war vessel had fired upon the Allianca, an Ameri- can steamship, near Cuba, MT. Uhl, in the absence of his chief, Secretary Gresham, conducted much of the cor respondence with the spanish authori- ties which brought the affair to a con- clusion satisfactory to the Alliances s owners and the United States general ly.
 MT. Uhl was seriously considered for appointment as secretary of state af- ter MT. Gresham's death. He dis charged the duties of the office in an acceptable manner during MT. Gresh- am's illness.
 The democratic state convention of Michigan named MT. Uhl as it's candi- date for the United States senate in 1894. Julius C. Burrowes was elected.

Swindiing Scheme Exuosed.

Boston, Feb. 1.-The directory swim dle," scheme through which mer- chants all over the country have been swindled out of thousands of dollars was exposed in Boston this morning.

They began operations yesterday. As a result, a young man giving the name of c. H. Reynolds was locked up in the Tombs, charged with forging the name of T. Noonan, , Exchange street. He claims to be the victim of swindlers himself and says he is but collector. The police doubt his story. He will be held on the charge mentioned for the court to investigate and in the mean time the inspectors will search the city for others who are believed to be asso- ciated with him in the swindle

Cavalry of cuban lStDels Even lSeacheu tho
 Bayonets.
 Havana, Feb. 4.-General Luque re- ports battle yesterday between his troops and rebels in and near the town of Paso Real, province of Pinar del Rio Maceo was in chief command of the insurgents, his subordinate com manders being Miro Sayas, Chileno and Sotomeyer. The Spanish force consist ed of nine companies. When it was learned that the rebels were in Paso Real General Luque gave orders for an advance The soldiers entered the town by the main street and found the rebels occupying the side streets. A galling fire was directed against the troops from the streets, houses and roofs, but the rebels were finally driven to the eastern part of the town, where they attempted to make a stand. In this they were unsuccessful and they retreated outside the town. The troops advanced upon them and found over a thousand rebels forming a line of bat tie. As the Spaniards moved forward they delivered volley fires as they nov ed from position to position.
 The rebel cavalry charged the troops
 
 with great valor and despite the heavy fire directed against them even reached the bayonets of the troops. The latter received the charge while formed in line, but the second charge was receiv ed by the troops in circular groups.
 General Luque says the troops sus- tained no machet wounds, while a num- Der of rebels were wounded by bayo- nets. The troops finally dispersed the rebels, pursuing them until darkness set in. The insurgents lost sixty-two killed while two hundred are believed to have been wounded. General Luque was shot through the right leg. Major Perez of the regular army and Major Miljares of the civil guard were also wounded. Major Perez has since died. In addition to these one captain, one lieutenant and hirty soldiers were wounded. One of the wounded privates died shortly after the battle.

MAY KILL THE SUBSTITUTE
SENATOR oUAY,S MOTION WILL BE
 SUPPORTED IN THE SENATE.

It Looks as if the Administration Men Will
 Take Some Action on the Free Coinage
 Bill in Connection With the Tariff Bill
 for the Purpose of Killing It.
 Washington, Feb. 4-During the day the silver republicans had ample oppor- tunity to confer about the action of the finance committee and there is req son to believe they will almost unani- mously vote to kill the substitute re- ported, believing it is not to the inter- est of, but disadvantageous to the sil- yer cause.
 Many senators expressed their inten- tion of supporting MT Quay's motion to recom1nit. with instructions to sepa- rate the subject matter and bring in two bills. but the democrats on both sides of the silver question will vote against this.
 While the silver republicans will thus probably support the committee free coinage substitute it looks as if the ad- ministration men in the senate, who have vigorously opposed free coinage will vote to fasten that sort of legisla- ton upon the tariff bill for the purpose of killing it.

DESERTED BY HER HUSBAND
4 WOMAN APPLIES FOR SHELTER AND PROTECTION FROM THE STORM.

Mrs. George Stueckle Was Left at the Corr
 Evening About O'Clock by Her Hus-
 band-She Has Been at the Associated
 Charities for Several Days But Left There
 to Go to AIontowese With Her Husband
 Yesterday Afternoon-He Made an Ex-
 cuse to Leave Her for Short Time When
 They Came to The City and Has Not
 Returned-The Woman Was Again Taken
 to the Associated Charities.
 At eleven o'clock last night the wife of George Stueckle of 56 Bassett street. Westville, applied for shelter at the po- lice station. She was taken to the As- sociated Charities and accommodated for the night.
 Her story is a pitiable one. She has been married about a year and has liv- ed with her husband in Westville. Stueckle's mother and his wife never agreed and several weeks ago tho younger Mrs. Stueckle left her husband and came to this city. She has support ed herself by working at various places until lately her condition became such that she was unable to support herself and she applied to Superintendent Pres ton of the Associated Charities for aid, That was three days ago. She was gtv- en shelter until yesterday afternoon when her husband came after her. She went with him on the electric cars to visit a cousin in Montowese. They re-. turned to this city and got off the cars at the corner of Church and Chapel streets. Here he left her and she has not seen him since. She waited there for three hours and finally asked aid of the police. She feared that every mos ment she would be taken i'll, or other- wise she would not have applied for aid. She was directed to the Charities by the police.
 Stueckle is a German thirty two years of age. He has been employed by Rida 6 Sons, and is described in the direc- tory as an artist and sign painter. He has been arrested for breach of peace several times. His wife did not wish to prosecute him, but the authorities will not let it rest there.

There is reason to believe that action leading to happy ending of the trouble will shortly be taken.

Is WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
There Is No Strain in Relations Betweel
 United states and Turkey.

United states and Turkey.
 London, Feb. 1.-The correspondent of the United Press in Constantinople tele- graphs under the date of February 8, as follows: ,
 "The reported existence of a strain between the United States and Turkey in consequence of the rigorous and per sistent measures adopted by United States Minister Terrell for the protec- tion of American missionaries Is wholly without foundation. As regards protec- tion of American citizens and the pay ment of indemnity by the Turkish gov ernment for the destruction by fire of American buildings, it will be recalled that none of the f2S,000 demanded by three of the chief powers of Europe for the killing and wounding of foreign consuls at Jeddah last May have been obtained by the powers, nor has any body as yet been punished for the out rage.
 "The houses occupied by Armenians in Smyrna were marked for a week Mir J. H. Madden, United States consul at Smyrna, made inquiry as to the req son for so designating the houses and protested to the government against such proceeding. The government re- piled that large quantity of arms had been found in mosque at smyrna and it was necessary to take all pre- cautions against an Armenian outbreak As the Christians in smyrna consider ably outnumber the Moslems, however it is regarded as improbable that any massacre will be attempted at thai place.
 The United States cruiser San Fran, ciscb is at Mersin, Asia Minor, on the Mediterranean. Letters describing the misery prevailing among the inhabit ants at Marash and Oorfa were rea6 on board the ship and the sailors made up a purse of $450 for the sufferers. The situation at Marash has become mIe critical. A number of European war ships are gathered at Alexandretta. The loan of 30,000,000 francs, secured by the governments share of the light house receipts, which the porte is nego | tiating with the Berlin banking house of Bleichroder is nearly concluded.

CUBANS REMEMBER THE OFFICERS
 OF THE SCHOONER BEEBE.

Boston, Feb. 4.-Captain William M. Howes of the schooner Leander ". Beebe, which rescued seventy men from the sinking steamer J. w. Hawkins, off Montauk Point, has received from New
 York a valuable pair of glasses, also a package said to contain gold, as token
 the Beebe gives some interesting facts concerning the rescue which did not ap- pear in Captain Howe's report Mate Lind wears in a conspicuous place on
 his coat a white enamel button bearing
 the Cuban coat of arms, which he says
 was presented to him by General Gar cia, together with dagger of unique
 design. He says that during the work
 of rescuing the men from the three
 boats one of the boats capsized, owing
 to the awkward manner in which it was
 handled and that he fished most of the
 men out of the water himself
 Lind was obliged to jump overheard
 to save one man, whom he grabbed by
 the hair and brought him to the sur
 face. He never saw such a grateful crowd of men. He is positive that among the party rescued was General
 Garcia and his son, as they both told him their names and the other members of the party addressed the elder as "the general" Mate Lind with a portion of the crew on learning the valuable cargo of arms and ammunition which the Hawkins had on board decided to make
 an attempt to get her when she lurched suddenly and began to settle by the stern and soon after sank.
 An attempt was made to tow two ot
 the long boats in which the men came alongside the schooner but they were obliged to cut them adrift owing to the rough sea. Lind claims that the men were abundantly provided with money and one of them wishing to take the position of the sunken steamer and not being supplied with paper jotted dowr the latitude and longitude in which she sunk on a hundred dollar banknote. He also claims that two of the men had valises strapped to them which they constantly carried around as though their contents were of a valuable na- ture
 General Garcia assured him he would hear from him later and if the Cubar insurgents were successful he would re. member him handsomely.
