New YOrk's Excise Measure Went Into
Effect Yesterday.

New York, March 29. The last Sunday
here under the old excise law passed
peacefully. The saloon keepers had be-
gun to take the strictest precautions in
guarding the licenses, and the new era,
which seemed to have dawned already,
when ut night the police reported only
eleven excise arrests made throughout
the whole city. This was the lowest
number of arrests made on Sundays ince
the excise law was enforced by the police.
At tho Union League club the bar was
closed, and the excise law was observed as
strictly as if the highest legal authority
had declared that the Rayne's bill opera
ted the instant Gov. Mortons signature
was attached to the measure.
Adyices received here state that the
Raynes bill was enforced and saloons
generally closed, today in Mt. Vernon,
White Plains, Utica, Syracuse and Tom
awanda. In most of these places, this
was the first dry Sunday known in several
years. No attempt was made to enforce

That Disposed of, the Cuban Resolutions
Will Be Presented By Mr. Hitt-Appro-
priation Bills and Routine Business
| Programme in the Senate.
Washington, March 29.-It is expected
that consideration of the sundry civil
appropriation bill will be the first busi-
ness of thesHouse this. week. The radical
| changes made by the bill will doubtless
cause much discussion, and several
days may be spent over it.
The reduction of appropriations for con-
| sinuing the contract river and harbor
work and the public buildings In course
of construction to a.basis of eight months
| operation, on the theory that the re-
malnder of the year can be provided for
at the next session of Congress- will be
attacked by the Democratic members of
the committee on appropriations.
: Other provisions, not so radical, will
also be the subject of criticism. No seri-
GUS addition to the total carried in the
bill is anticipated. When the sundry
civil bill has been gotten outSof the way,
Mr.. Hit will call up the conference

approve the compromise between the
United States and the State of Arkansas,
which has been unfinished business for
two weeks but which has not been
passed, will be considered tomorrow
There appears little hope of It's passing,
and there likewise appears a dispOsition
to devote tomorrow only to it's considera-
tion. The postoHioe bill will be laid be-

cause some debate in the committee.

NOT so BAD AS REPORTED.

But Situation in NIetabeleland Is Extreme
ly Threatening.
Cape Town, March 29.-Aocording to ad-
vices received here the rising among the
Matabeles is not so serious as the first de-
spatches porte aded. but there is much
s,i4Aisos. as TO whsB the final outcome will
be. A despatch received today from Bulu-
wayo, the principal town of Matabele-
land, says that thus far twenty whites
have been killed by the nativ ves.
Sir Hercules Robinson. governor of
Cape Colony and high commissioner in
South Africa, cabled Colonial Secre tary
Cham berlain in London that Captain
Nicholson telegraphs from BuluWayo that
he has 5000 rifles and plenty of ammuni-
tion. Captain Nicholson thinks the re-
volt will not spi cad. The only detaoh-
ments of native police known to have cer-
tainly deserted are thirty who shot Com
missarY Bently. Another thirty who
were very restless, were disarmed, after
which they deserted. Several white set
tiers, missing and supposed to have been
massacred by natives, have arrived at
Buluwayo.
e Governor Robinson has furnished a
mounted escort to convey five hundred
rifles belonging to the British South
Africa company from Mafeking on the
Transyaal border to Buluwayo.
ssAmong the victims of the Mata beles
were family consisting of man and
wife, two daughters and three sons.
Commissary Buntley and other persons
massacred, were horribly muuilated
After death their faces were
covered with dried grass which
was set on fire rendering the
features of the victims unreeognizable.

FALL OF PINAR. DEL RIO.
Cuban Insurgents Have Captured
Spanish Stronghold.
DESPERATE FIGHT WITH MANY
KILLED AND WOUNDED.

Was a Sequel to the Arrival of the Ber-
muda-Hot Fighting Done BY American
Artillery Men-Without Their Assistance
Cubans Could Not Have Succeeded.
cable from Havana under date of March
2S which says:
Plnar del Rio has fallen.
The stronghold Of the Spanish army in
the western part of the island was taken
by sthe insurgents yesterday.
There was desperate fight and many
men on both sides were killed and
wounded. Only meagre news of the battle
has been received in Havana, and the de-
tails cannot at this moment be attained.
What news has been received was sent
to t he captain general by the officer in
charge of the garrison at Pinar Gel Rio,
after his troops had been utterly routed,
and W lille the insurgents were applying
the torch to the city.
At the place absolutely nothing has been
given out and the most that can be OBJ
tanned there is confirmation of the story
that there has been a fight. The Spanish
officials win not state the result of the
battle, nor have they furnished the local
papers with an official note of it.
This in itself is sufficient to confirm the
report of Spanish defeat for the authori-
ties never lose any time in giving out the
complete details of victories for their
side.
The Cuban sympathizers have received
information from the scene of battle. The
report made to them states that Gems.
Antonio Maceo and Calizto Garcia were
in command of the rebel forces. The
hot fighting was done by the American
artillerymen who came to Cuba on the
Bermuda flibusuering expedition for the
express purpose OF working the hotchkiss
and gatling guns brought on the steamer.
Without the assistance of the Americans
PinRr del Rio would not have fallen. 1t
was only their deadly fire sent into the
town by the gatling and hotchkiss guns
that saved the day of the insurgents.
| Pinar del Rio is situated about two
thirds of the distance across tho island
at the north, and in the extreme western
province 1t was city of some 30, 600
| inhabitants, ana the Spanish had relied
upon it to afford them a base for opera
tions in Pinar del Rio during the rainy
season,
The Spanish gsar4aso ,sto44sl4sssd OF 400
men, and the attacking force had fully
5000 men, besides the sharpshooters and
othor skilled men of war who came on
the Bermuda.
Following his usual policy, Gen. Maceo
did not hold the town. He simply de-
stroyed it and then passed out to some
other place.
Exactly where he is at present is not
known. The Spanish troops in the pro-
vince of Pinar del Rio are now without
a refuge from the rains, malaria and yell
low fever which sweep over that part of
the island during the rainy season, aud
which are SO fatal to those who are not
acclimated.
| 1t is predicted that if the war extends
far into the rainy season yellow fever
will carry off the Spanish troops in
groups.
The news of the fall of the city was
brought into Havana by mounted cour-
iers. They must have ridden for their
lives to get there as they did, for the
scene of action is close to 100 miles from
his city.

DIscIPLININo THE NEGROES.
Southerners Shot OF f Few Who Had ar
Idea They Wanted to Vote.

New Orleans, March 29.-The difficult
ties IN St. Landry parish growing out of
the attempt of the "white supremacy
faction'' of the Democrats and Regula-
tors to prevent the negroes from register
ing, have terminated in several killings.
The Regulators assembled 300 strong at
Palmetto, oamped out there all day, and
prevented any negro from registering,
and severely whipped Kileau. the lead
ing negro in the parish.
At Grand Prairie, the Regulators ali
tackled Alfred Fruget, negro who had
already registered, and opened fire on
him. He replied, killing one of them,
Athanas Fontenot, and severely wound
ing another. He then surrendered to the
authorities.
The condition of affairs in ST. Landry
is growing worse, and several bodies OF
armed regulators are riding around the
parish.

MACEO NOW PENNED UP.

General WeyIer Says He Has Things Fixed
to Suit Him.
Havana, March 2s.-A military strong
line has been established from Majana on
the south coast to Mariel on the north
coast, extending across the narrowest
part Of the island. The line separates the
provinces of Havana and Pinar del Rio.
Gen. Arolas, in command, reports daily
skirmishes with parties of rebels who at
tempt to cross. Maceo, according to the
military reports, is now penned in the
province of Pinar del Rio. An official
report states that the rebel parties under
Pepe Rogue and Iunoo Morajon have
been defeated at Sabana Barreto with a
loss of fifteen killed. One rebel was
captured. The Spanish loss was one
killed and two wounded. The troops
pursued the insurgents and captured a
rebel camp at GuasimaL Three rebels
were killed in the fighting at the camp.
The insurgents have out the telegraph
line between Bata bano and Pozoredono.
Further details have been received OF
the recent invasion of the city of Santa
Clara. The rebels occupied the plaza
and the main streets of the city, but fled
at daylight. They burned two stores
owned by Cinnamon who had refused to
open them. Other stores and houses thai
were opened in responses to knocks on
