won duck at rattle at a tavern and
asked John to let him put it in our

Now, either the duck did not feel
very comfortable or the hens did not
feel as much at ease as formerly. l

A Towel Of Blott,ns Paper.

Paper has been put to a variety OF
uses, but its most curious employment is
foreshadowed in the recent patenting
of a blotting-paper towel. The idea
is that person on stepping out of his
morning bath, instead Of rubbing him
self dry in the orthodox manner,
should envelop his body in towel of
plotting paper, which. will. without
trouble. and In few seconds, absorb
aIl the moisture upon his skin. The

city, fearing that the insurgents may
make another attack upon 1T, and
large mum bers of people continue to
leave other towns around Havana for
this city, apprehe nding being robbed
by the insurgents. The Spanish auth
critics at san Francisco de Paula, a
village between this city and Santa
Maria, have detained eight men who
had prepared to join the insurgents.
Throughout the day Information
concerning the damage done by the
insurgents in the province of Pinar
del Rio continued to arrive here from
various sources Between Pue bio,
Neuvo and Ballate in that province,
all the cane fields have been burned,
and at PassO Real and Los Palacios
the insurgents have not only burned
all the railroad cars but they have
destroyed all the railway material of
every description which they could
lay hands on. In the province OF
MatanZas, the insurgents are again
becoming active in anticipation Of
the coming of the second or Eastern
army of the insurgents, under Gen
erals Rabi and Maceo Small bands
are reported to be on the move in the
vicinity of Cana, BermejO, Rogue,

considerable force of troops in the
district of Colon, with the view of
trying to bring about pitched battle
with the insurgent forces advancing
thrOughsthe province of Santa Clara.
At Cuarras, south of Colon, the insur-
gents have burned the plantation of
La Vega and other cane fields, and
they have caused enormous losses by
similar tactics.
While passing through the Matasa-
qua district the insurgents hanged
two plateados, and at Manicaragua,
province of Santa Clara, insurgents
have burned the large store and to-
baccO warehouse, containing 500 bales
of tobacco, belonging to the TOrtiZ
company. Distress in the province of
MataDzas and other places devastated
by the insurgents is very great and the
local authorities in various districts
have been granted the necessary per-
mission to collect funds by public sub
scriptiOn for the relief of the sufferers.
In addition all the soldiers and all the
employees of the different branches of
the government have agreed to give
one days pay each month towards
the funds being collected to relieve
the distress referred to.
Later this evening information was
received here to the effect that the in
eurgents have also hufned the village
of Rio BlancO, in the province of
Piuar pei Rio The prices of prnvi-
sioEs, etc, are rising very rapidly
here and the expense of living is fully
80 per cent. more than it was month
ago. At the rate things are going,
though the Spanish authorities are
still hopeful of driving the insurgents
eastward and westward of Havana,
the city of Havana will be The most
expensive place in the world to live
in. If this is the case with the insur-
gent force now in this vicinity it may
be judged that matters will be consi-
derably worse if the Spanish COM
manders are unable to check the ad-
vance westward of the second Cuban
army. Business is suffering terribly

chiefly by his record, made seventeen
years ago in Cuba, and since then in
the PHILIPPINE islands. For the future
his promises are fair. Interest in Ha-
vana today is divided between the
cabled program of his policy as out
lined by General Weyler, the coming
man and the departure OF CampOs, the
veteran ex- Captain General, who, this
afternoon, sailed for Coruna, thence to
J leave for Madrid.
General Weyler says emphatically
that in his course he will be merciless,
but Just. He is of the opinion that two
months ago it would have been easy to
have dealt the rebellion death blow.
Now he fears it will be more difficult,
owing to the strength the movement
has gained, the losses suffered by the
Spanish army and the near approach
of the rainy season. Despite these
disadvantages he expects results of
considerable importance in a short
time. He says the Liberal party will
support him, and when il goes into
power will grant Cuba certain pOliti-
cal reforms.
MADRID, Jan. 1.-THE Cabinet
this evening decided to recall from
Cuba CaptainGeneral Campos and
his brother-in- law, General Arderius,
second in command.
Generals Marin and Pando will be
temporarily substituted in their places
The supreme command in the island
will be conferIe ed on General Weyler,
who will sail for Cuba forthwith, in
company with General Polavioja.
Before action was taken the leaders
of the Constitutional, Union and Re
formist parties of Cuba cabled to the
government here demanding the recall
of General CampOs.
General POlavioja, the successor of
General Arderius, has started from
Seville for Madrid.
General Weyler will leave Madrid |
for Barcelona tomorrow, and will
sail for Cuba on Saturday. He Will
be accompanied by Lieutenant Gen |
eral Barges and the Marquis de Ahua-

LOSS OF THE SUGAR CROP.
How Spain's Revenue Has Been De
creased by the War.

How Spain's Revenue Has Been De-
creased by the War.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. IL
In response to a cablegram to Havana,
sent by Senior Dupuy de Lone, the
Spanish Minister, inquiring as to what
effect the destruction OF the sugar crop
would have upon the Government
resources, the following dispatch was
received today:
HAVANA, Jan. 17.-Sugar does
not pay direct taxes. Sugar only pays
port duty or permit to load of 75
cents per ton. If the total sugar crop
were lost, and the average expOrta-
ton of 1000 tons were ImpOss bic,
the loss to the treasury would be
$4,000 less than l per cent of the
war expenses. CADEN AS.
Senior de LONE, in giving his in
formation, said that it could be prove Il
by inquiring OF those interested in the
sugar industry in New York, Boston
ami Philadelphia, and pointed to- the
fact that the rebels, in their efforts to
ruin the island oy burning the cane
fields of Spaniards, Cubans and for
eigners, have deprived the Spanish
Government of less than half
million dollars of taxes.
