detailed analysis of the railway vote in
the recent election The paper will say:

sound money clubs organized during the
campaign. Two hundred of these with n
membership of 100 00O were distributed
among twenty three large cities, though
the various wards and precincts of which
the members were so scattered that it
would be impossible to arrive ut any close
estimate of the weight of the influence
OF the railway men. From 100 other club
points the returns are given in detail in
comparison with the votes of 1892. The
100 club points in 1892 gavea Democratic
majority of 1856. This was converted
in 1896 into Il Republican majority of
ll9,2Il. There was nm increase in the
total vote of 1876, 800; an increase in the
Republican vote east of l41, $50 and an
actual Democratic falling of from the

Englishman, recently released from

Cuba libre," and who was expelled a
week ago by order of Captain General
Weyler, was one of the passengers.
Brown said that his treatment by tue
Spanish authorities was brutal in the ex.
treme, and that if he had not had papers
proving him to he a British subject. he
would have been shot or would still be in
Spanish jail. He had been four years
in Havana, and is now on his way home.
"Cuba, in my mind, is lost to Spain.
The latter country is now on her beam
ends, and the storm on the little island
will soon engulf her, he said.
Brown declared that no political pr isoner
in Cuba knew what he was arrested for
until he had been in Il prison cell for
some time. AS to his own case he does
not remember having given the Span

'Weyler has had many foreigners ar

Maspeth, l.. l.. Nov. 2j.-For the fifth
time Tommy Ryan, of Syracuse, and

The Ryan Smith fight was lively one
from the start, with honors--..nearly even
up TO the eiohth round, whepsRyan forced
it and held Smith to the ropes until the
gong released him. In the ninth Smith
sent his right hard on the face, making
Ryan's right eye bleed badly Ryan
swung left on the face and Smith slipped
to the floor. They began smuggling right

Philadelphia, Nov 25.-The first direct
and authentic news from the mountain
camp OF Gen, Antonio Maceo that has
been received in this country since Gen
eral Weyler left Havana for the front two
weeks ago. came to-day By special mes
senger who stopped in this city. Gen
eral Maceo sends greetings to his coun-
trymcn in tn. United States. and in a
few words assures them and the friends
of Cuba throughout the country that his
gallant band is safe and able for time
ut least to take care of itself, no matter
what the Spaniards may do. The mes
sage Is directed to the New York iunta
and reads:
1--WE have withstcod the enemy in
many encounters and are prepared for
any move he may make. We have rem
dered him much injury, and will be able
to withstand any of his attacks for some
time to come.
Assure our noble frinds in the United
States that the cause of liberty will not

The message was dated ut the rebel
army camp near Las Pozas, on the
northern coast, at the farthest western
end OF the Rubi chain of mountains.
along winch are the several camps and
stronGholds of Maceo's forces Cubans
in this city are especially elated over the
receipt of the message, for they were
fearful of the position occupied by the
Cuban forces during the past month or
six weeks.
The carrier OF the message. whose name,
is not given out by the Cuban leaders,
was witness to the fight at Artemisa.
which was first reported us a great Span,
ish victory, and later rs IL drawn battle.
1T was splendid fight said the
officer land gave great hope and courage
to the entire army You here in the
United States who read only meagre and
untruthful reports can have no idea of
the nature of things in Pinar del Rio.
But will speak more especially of Arte-
mlsa where one OF the greatest Cuban
victories We're won.
"Maceo did not use his entire force
against the Spaniards, but the latter.
who numbered between 5000 and s. 900.
were driven bnck from the foothills, and
many of them were slaiu upon the hard
plateau before the town. AS night came
on Maceo rlcred two batteries to the
brow of the hill and shelled the town.
Fires began in various places in the city.
ana the effects ..of the cannonading was
something wonderful. The two dyna-
mite guns did fearful work. some of
