BALTIMORE, Md, Jan, q. lion.
John X. cowen, general counsel for the
baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company.
and representative in Congress from the
Fourth Maryland district was to-day
elected president Of the Baltimore 8
Ohio to succeed Charles f. Mayer, who
resigned In November Mr.. cowen was
decided upon as n compromise between
the factions in the board fayoring Ma
ior Alexander Shaw and Second Vice
President Thomas NJ. King. The meet
ing at which Mr.. cowen was selected
was a special one and was held at II 4
m. Mr.. cowen was the choice Of the
New York ana the Garrett interests and
their votes were cast solidly for him.
The statement published on Sunday
last to the effect that Mr.. cowen had
been agreed upon for the presidency by
the New York members OF the director
ate. caused a big surprise, but at the
same time the comments among rail-
way men on the desire Of the New York
men In the premises were most fayora-
BILE.
The New York directors came over TO
RaItinnore last night. They are staying
al the Hotel STAFFORD, on Mount Vernon
place Mr.. u. r. Bacon, president OF
the baltimore & Southwestern, also
came ON from Cincinnati, and was quar-
tered al the Maryland Club. AT
O'Clock all OF the gentlemen proceeded to
ti,e residence Of Mr.. William +. F'rlclS.
No 126 West Franklin street, and talked
over the affairs OF the company In gem
eral..
Mr.. cowen himself was also In ettend-
ance. The other gentlemen present
were: Messrs. Eugene Delano, Howland
Davis and General Louis Fitzgerald, the
New York dIrectorsi Mr.. Frick and Mr..
THE story In connection with Mr..
cowen and the presidency OF the Balti-
more q Ohio has been the outcome OF re-
ported alliance, on the part OF the Gar
rett interests, represented by Mr.. B'rick,
and the powerful New York interests,
which are TO figure in the financial and
other rehabilitation OF the company.
While 1t Is well settled that q great part
of the financial assistance in taking
care OF the reputed four-million floating
debt Is to come from New York, yet II
has been repeatedly stated, under con-
ditions satisfactory to the CARROTS,
million and a-half OF dollars would be
forthcoming from them.
AS the policy for the future desire is
one which shall harmonize all interests.
the HORIZON has been scanned, It is said.
for a. new president who would be, ienot
exactly compromise candidate from
among the many named, yet one who
would be satisfactory all around. Mr.
Cowen is believed to fill the bill, because
OF the friendliness OF the Garrett inter-
ests TO him, and because he has I'M
pressed most fayorably the New York
ers. who are interested solely in the pro-
per taking care OF the investment which
they propose making in the Baltimore
& Ohio.

ing 70 the energetic Representations Of
United States Minister Terrell. Miss
Barton and her party win be permitted
by the Turkish government 70 distrib-
ute relief TO the distressed Armenians.
although the Red Gross itself will not

the state department to-day in q cable
from the minister TO Secretary oiney,
in which he says that while the porte
refuses such permission 70 the Red

Cross as such. and thereby declines 70

permit any person whom the minister
names and approves to distribute re-

There can be no question that MISS

apprehended that they will encounter
insurmountable obstacles In reaching

TO be the great factor in bringing peace
and prosperity once more 70 unhappy
Cuba.
The military authorities are drawing
ali the troops possible from the eastern
part OF Cuba, es that part OF the IS
lana. especially the province OF Santia-
10 de Cuba, is rapidly resuming q
peaceful aspect, owing 70 the fact that
nearly ali the insurgents have moved
eastward.
Reports continue to be received Of
small engagements with the insurgents
In ali directions. Indicating that they
are no longer united In q main body,
but are broken up into small parties,
confident of their ability to evade any
Spanish force that they are not yet
strong enough to oppose. The leader,
Fructuoso Miranda, IL reported to have
been killed at Conzojas n Matanzas
The important town OF Sabanilla, on
the railroad south OF Matanzas, mas
been attacked by insurgents No de-
tails are given OF the damage done to
property. nor are claims stated as to
the success OF resistance. but Il is said
that three OF the volunteer soldiers
were killed and ten of the civil guards
We're wounded. The insurgents are
said TO have lost seventeen killed.
The Official report of an encounter
had by General Pratt with the bands OF
Nunez yesterday says that the insur-
gents were dispersed after having Kill
ed four OF the troops and wounded sew
en-. The insurgents on the other hand
left three killed and carried away the
rest. g}lNf
Colonel Aldecoa reports an engage
ment to-day with the bands OF Rafael
Cardenas, who retreated towards Tri-
umvirate, Matanzas, leaving four killed
and three wounded
The insurgents have plundered the
stores in the village Of Baja, Pinar del
Rio. A rapid-fre gun on the gunboat
Hlecha was brought Into play and did
good service In dispensing the insur-
gents. The greatest activity OF the IN
surgents seems to be centered for the
present In the province of Matanzas.
A good deal OF damage is being done.
and II Is probable also that the move
nent has strategic purpose to pre-
vent the Spanish forces from capturing
Gomezs forces near Havana. Five SOL
diers were taken prisoners, but We're
afterwards liberated by the insurgents
In an enEagement in the northern part
Of the province OF MRtan2as to-day.
Many Insurgents are suffering constd-
erably for want ofproper food and are
sadly in need OF ammunition. Residents
in this city are cut of from the SUR
rounding country and supplies are hard
to obtain. The houses OF the planta-
tion OF Plnon, in Matauzas, have been
burned. The bands OF Garcia, Regime
and Alfonso are reported TO be moving
in the neighborhood OF Guira Macuri-
les. There IS a report that they have
been repeiled with some loss by the
garrison'at Fort Flora.

dates. 1t is a special from Wheeling,

B. Elklns for the presidency is eloquent

Senator Elkins has not expressed d
preference for any one for the nomina-
tion at st. Louis Much less has he
evinced, any desire to be candidate
himself. West Virginia. which has as
many electoral votes as Maine. has
taken up his cause. The Republican, OF
West Virginia recognize his hne
scholarly ability. his eminent states
manship and invaluable service TO the
party and recommend him as the man
most likely TO break the solid south at
the next election, and equally sure OF
the north and west.

olutlon will be brought before the house
next week. expressing dlsapproyal OF
Ambassador Bayard's two speeches
which were called to the attention %
the house by Messrs.. Mccall and Bar

The purport Of the resolution will be
mild censure OF Ambassador Baynrd
for the two utterances mentioned and
an expression OF the opinion OF the
house that representatives. of the United
States abroad should be very discreet
in their public references to home po-
lislcs. It is understood that the sub
committee feel that the present tension
between the British and American gov
ernments over Venezuela constrains
them 10 commend milder form OF CEN

remarks would call for under ordinary
circumstances. One otfthem said that
while they did not wish to take any ac-
tlon that would detrnct from Mr.. Bay
ards standing with the power to which
he IL accredited, they did not feel 3ustl-
fed In Ignoring his speeches.
