yesterday with his staff and a number
of prominent merchants and clerks
familiar with the province of Pinar

of cavalry and hopes to strengthen it
considerably before engaging with
Gomez who is still understood to be
trying to effect a junction with the
insurgent forces under Maceo. Wire
communication with the front is in
terrupted to-day. Spanish officers
here say that an important engage
ment will be fought before General
Marin returns to Havana.
The departure of General Marin is
given out here as marking the begin
policy, and great things are expected
of his campaign. His purpose is stated
officially to be to enter upon the pur-
suit of Gomez and Maceo in Pinar del
Rio province. He takes with him
1,7CO cavalry, 1000 infantry and four
batteries of artillery, and he de-

ding was celebrated at the town hall

tween a workingman who had made

There were eleven private and hired
coaches and a large concourse of re-

But the strangest part of the affair
was that the bridegroom wore, in ad-
clifton to his tall silk hat and black
pants, an ordinary blouse of blue linen,

sprung from, while the bride, attired in
a stylish white dress, went barehead-

AMERICAN ENERGY WINS.

Minister Whites Story of a Chance Meet
ing with a Former New Yorker.
From the Troy Times: The Ameri-
can can always be trusted to make his
way. no matter what may be his envi-
ronments. A story told by Andrew D.
White, ex-minister to Germany and
Russia, illustrates this fact. Mr.. White
stated that once when he was at Ber-
lin, after all the diplomatic corps had
been duly presented to his wife, the
Chinese minister, in pursuance to GUS
tom, brought round his principal secre-
taries and presented them to his col
leagues Among these was a tall, fine
looking man, evidently European,
dressed in a superb court costume and
covered with gold lace. AS his Chinese
colleague introduced him to Mr.. White
in German, the conversation was con-
tinued in that language, when suddenly
this splendidly dressed parsonage said
in English: "Mr. White, 1 do not see
why we should be talking in German.
I come from Waterloo, in western New
York, and was educated at Rochester
university under your friend, DR.. An
derson." Mr.. White said that had the
gentleman dropped through the ceiling
it would not have seemed more surpris-
ing, and that it was hard to believe that
the pretty little village of Waterloo, or
even Rochester, with ali the added pow
er of this noble university, should have
been able to develop a creature so gor-
geous. It turned out that the gentle
man concerned, after graduating at the
University of Rochester, had gone to
China with certain missionaries, had
then been taken into the Chinese serv-
ice, and had proved to be a thoroughly
intelligent, patriotic man faithful to his
duties to China, as well as to the United
States.

has two already elected and contest
in the Fourth district over two others.
Ex-Governor Warmoth said: "Kel-

Leading London Papers DenOhnce Lord
salisbury's Speech.
LONDON, Feb. IAN editorial in the
Chronicle (LlberaD this morning, de-
scribes Lord Salisbury's speech as ''the
most amazing utterance that ever fell
from the lips of the governor of a
great empire at the crisis of its for
tune. Lord Palmerston,tinh his widest
after-dinner escapades, could not have
beaten it. 1t will do England grievous
harm in the eyes of the world. He
bestowed but one word upon America,
and it had better have been unspolzen.
We take leave to tell him that he is
playing with fire again. He should
have said either less or more. His
confession of failure with regard to
Armenia is a most ignominlous ad
mission
The Times says of the speech: ''Lord
Salisbury's tone with reference to Ar
menia was apologetic, and his ex-
plantations were rather unusual But
they will convince all fair-minded
men that the fault does not lie with
the British government"

dress as follows:
