Havana, Jan. 6.-The authorities con-

proclaiming martial law Tor the prov

Maxine Gomez has declared his in

Of Pinar del Rio. Although his forces
have not reached the borders Of that

is understood to indicate that they

1t is not by any means to be consid-
cred that the apparent lack Of hope Of
checking the new advance shown by

Of efforts to prevent the advance. The

HO! FOR TROLLEY EXPRESS.

Six Cars Begin Carrying Merchandise on
Brooklyn Lines.
Brooklyn Citizen.
The experiment Of carrying merchan-
disc and express packages by trolley ex-
press was begun on the lines of the
Brooklyn Heights Railroad company to-
day. The system Is controlled by the
National Express company which has
put into service twenty-five express
wagons to connect with the cars at con-
venient points throughout the city.
There are six of the cars, each 81 feet
long and feet wide, and equipped In
teriorly like the ordinary baggage ex-
press They are painted in dark blue,
with light trimmings. They will run from
the principal express depot, at the foot of
Broadway, over the following routes:
Bowery Bay, Jamaica, Bergen Beach,
Ulmer Park, Wallabout Market and Full
ton Ferry.
There will be stations at these points
and also in Third avenue, Flatbush ave-
nue., East New York, Ridgewood, the
Bedford district, Manhattan avenue and
Myrtle avenue and Broadway There
will be four deliveries each way between
New York and Brooklyn per diem. Pack
ages shipped from New York will be
transported by the new cars to the
stations nearest the street address mark
ed upon them. Thence they will be rapid
ly borne by the connecting express
wagons to their final destination.
Superintendent Slingerland of the Ma
tional Express company said of the
scheme today:
1--WE don't expect to make 1t pay imme-
diately. The expense of covering the
city with seventy-five express wagons to
connect with the cars is large one. But
as people realize the advantages of the
service the company will undoubtedly
realize benefits to warrant the expendi-
ture. BY the use of the trolley cars we
have arranged a better express service
for Brooklyn than can be found in any
other city in the United States"
Mr.. Slingerland added that the new
style of doing business would be of great
advantage to merchants in facilitating
quick and inexpensive delivery of their
goods to the suburbs.
