In 1878 Mr.. Horr was elected

appropriation. and he made the
entire country understand how
ridicul lousy large were some of
the items in the appropriation
bill. On one occasion he!repliedl
to some personal idicule which
had been directed against him by;
the late s. s. Cox, and the Con.
gresham from New York was
placed in such a ludicrous light
that he lost his temper and de
lclined to speak to Mr.. Horr for,
several days. Mr.. Horr was de.
feated for reelection to Con
gress in 1884, when he made
campaign speeches in several
States for Blaine and Logan, and
neglected his own district
One Of Mr.: Rorr's strong points.
as 9 campaign speaker was his
readiness In ering questions
when he was speaking. Any
one who sought to confuse MIN
by interrupting him to ask a
question was reasonably sure TO
wish later thatthe question had
not been asked. His replies were
instantaneous, and generally
were shot ont like arrows tipped
with lightning. They exhibited
his readiness of humor, as well
as his good memory aud COM
!mand of facts and figures.
Much public interest was mani
tested in a debate which Mr..
Horr had with Senator Stewart,
of Nevada, on the silver question.
in February, 1893. The debate
was reported fully, and was pub.
'lished in a pamphlet by the
Tribune. The pamphlet had 8
large sale. The Horr- Harvey
debate in the summer of 1895
also attracted considerable at.
tention. although the author Of

no serious attempt to engage in
debate, but confined himself
chiefly to reading extracts from

pared.

MADRID, Jan. 16. Captain General
Campos has asked for cavalry reinforce
ments to be sent to Cuba, and it is official
ly reported that the situation there is re-
garied as being of the most critical sort.
HAVANA, Jan. 1.-THE cause of heavy
artillery firing heard Tuesday in the di-
rection OF Bcjucal, south of this city and
about half way between Havana and Bat
abano, remained mystery until about
noon yesterday. 1t now appears that
Zen Linares, commanding a strong force
OF Spanish troops moved from the vicin-
lty OF Managua, Santiago, Rincon and
Salud upon Bejucal. upon learning that
Homez' forces had attacked Bejucal and
ccen repulscd by the garrison of that place
after five hours fighting. Not satisfied
with this repulsc the insurgents prepared
GO make a second attack upon Bejucal
But by that lime not only had the gar
rison been strongly reinforced, but the
Spanish troops commanded by General
Linares had taken up we'll chosen and
concealed positions in the vicinity. The
insurgents were allowed to get within a
short distance of Bejucal and then the
garrison opened fire upon them. This
was the signal for the Spanish force to
unmask its batteries, and heavy artillery
and rifle fire was poured into the insur-
gent ranks. The enemy was taken COM
pletcly by surprise, came to halt, final
ly returned the fire of the Spanicrds then
wavcred, broke and fed
The insurgents are said to have been
commanded by General Maxine Gomez
In person. The rout of the insurgents is
reported to have been complete, and their
loss is said to have been heavy.
1t is said that the principal object of
Gomez attack upon Bejucal and the other
places south of this city is to create a d.
version under which his lieutenant, Cen
eral Antonio Maceo, may retire from the
province of Pinar del Rio. But the Span
ish generals hope to be able to crush these
two lnSurgent commanders before the
second insurgent army, now moving
westward through the province OF Santa
Clara, can effect a junction. The damage
done by the rebels in the province of Pinar
del Rio is described as enormous. There
are number of engagements reported
here in which the Spaniards were VIC
torious, but The rebels seem to do as they
