CAMPOs AFTER GOMEZ.
The Spanish General Pursuing the
Cuban Leader with 12.OOO Men.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA special to the
World from Havana says: Heavy firing
was heard last night between Artemisia
and Guanajay, which lasted upward of an
hour. when 1t gradually diminished, as if
receding in the distance. The Western rail-
way has suffered but not to very serious
extent. The insurgents know nothing about
twisting rails by fire and are disposed to
much physical exertion. They destroyed
Gabriel and Guira stations and warehouses
previously reported, west of Guira to the
vicinity of Alguisa. About a dozen culverts
one to three yards long were destroyed.
No damage was done at Alguira, either TO
the village or to railway property. but
further west a number Of culverts are gone
and the station building at Dagame village.
thirty-eight miles west of Havana, was
burned. Between Dagame and Canes, a SUBJ
urb OF Artemesia, several culverts are gone.
Artemesia escaped attack, because all the
Spanish troops in the province when the
raid began, numbering about thirteen hun
dred, were rushed from Pinar del Rio city
to that point. Gomez. knowing this fact
circled about and moved to the northward
to avoid conflict with the Spanish.
n; IA large number OF troops have gone TO
Pinar del Rio. General Campos is operat-
ing against Gomez's flying columns with
three heavy columns Of infantry, number
ing not less than 1900 men. Behind these
bodies. which proceeded westward over
three routes, is reserve of about 5000 in
fantry, which is also advancing. The de-
ficiency of cavalry is very serious draw
back TO the Spaniards. They are in pur-
suit Of mounted enemy, and, although
the Spanish infantry are wonderful march
ing men and their willingness is astonish-
Ing, they cannot, when they reach the prox-
unity of their adversaries maintain the
rapidity of movement of the latter
The peasantry of Havana and Pnar del
Rio provinces are not warlike. They are
gentle, pleasure-loving people and the
presence of the marching columns has
caused terror throughout the two provinces
The burning of Gabriel and Guira completed
the CONSERVATION. They would follow Co.
meZ in large numbers would he permit them
to do so. not much from any real under
standing of the revolution, but from the
hypnotism his presence has created. He is
like the piper of Hamelin to these ignorant
inOffensive people.
There is a great deal of criticism of some
of the Spanish commanders. Certain ones
are picked out for unmerciful comment.
II is charged that they are not supporting
General Campos and that they disapprove
of his humane policy. Gomez says he has
no fears of SuareZ Valdez or Luque, two
leaders of Spanish columns, but Garcia
Navarro is much-respected adversary.

HER BONDS NOT STOLEN.
Mrs. Irving's Securities Found I'm Her
Safe Deposit Vault Box.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE $1,000 worth
OF securities which Mrs Irving, mother Of
Isabel Irving the actress. claimed were
stolen from her box in the Lincoln safe
deposit vaults, were found this morning.
They were slowed away in a brown en-
velope in the back part OF the compart-
ment.
Mrs. Irving the day after Christmas Wis
tied the security vaults. and not finding all
her valuables, announced that she had been
robbed. Not thoroughly examining all it's
contents, she jumped at conclusion. be-
came hysterical and refused to permit the
officers OF the safe deposit vaults TO exam
Inc the contents with her. The shock
caused by the supposed loss of the securi-
ties. which constituted practically the whole
OF Mrs. Irving's fortune, Frustrated her and
Tor time there was fear that she would
not recover. The matter was Immediately
placed in the hands of her attorneys, who
nave taken every step to locate the missing
securities. The statement was made by
some persons that the loss was due to care
Isabel and Angeline Irving to-day, ac-
companied by their mothers legal repre-
sentative, went to the deposit vaults for
of the drawer from which the securities
were supposed TO have been extracted. When
the box was unlocked Mr.. Murphy. the as
pany, was present, as this was the first oc-
casion on which ii had been opened since
mrs. irving claimed TO have lost her val

a newspaper was drawn from the rear Of

DIR. HUNTER CHOSEN
NOMINATED FOR SENATOR BY RE-
PUBLICANS OF KENTUCKY.
Tie Broken by the Death of n Demo-
cratic Legislator, and the Elec-
ton of Hunter Assured.

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 1.-THE Repub-
lican caucus to nominate a candidate for
United States Senator was called to order
shortly after 3 O'clock this afternoon by
Senator William Henry Jones, chairman.
The announcement that but one name,
that of Congressman Hunter, would be
placed in nomination went far TO lessen in
terest in the proceedings The enthusiasm,
however, great and left little doubt
that the Republicans will stand by the
nominee. DIR. Hunter was nominated by
reclamation on motion of Mr.. Lyons, OF
Newport. The caucus then adjourned.
1t was learned tonight that the absentees
from the Republican caucus for Senator
were Senators Clark, Stage and Nell and
Representatives Chambers, Melroy and Whit
taker. There were sixty-one present. Some
of the absentees had given proxies. 1t Is
believed all the absentees will support the
caucus, though there have been faint ru-
mors that Stage will not abide by it. The
greater fear is that the Populists, Poor
and Burlington, will not accept DR.. Hunter
but will dictate another man. DR.. Hunter
was indisposed from a sore throat and was
unable TO speak, but sent word he would
do so later.
Isaac Wilson, a Democratic member of
the lower branch of the Legislature, died
at the Capital Hotel this morning. The
death of Mr.. Wilson breaks the tie in the
Legislature. The Republicans have sixty
eight votes, the Democrats sixty-seven
and the Populists two. The Populists will
vote for the Republican nominee for the
United States Senate, and that will in all
probability insure the election of DR.. God
frey Hunter. who was nominated by the
Republicans this afternoon.
The most touching incident in connec-
ton with the Democratic caucus last night
was the vote cast for Senator Blackburn
by Representative Wilson. The vote was
cast by his lifelong friend, Senator George
Fulton, while Mr.. Wilson lay on his dying
bed in Room at the hotel where he died.
He was not expected to live until morning,
and his death, even at the moment his
vote was cast by proxy, would not have
been a surprise to those who acted for him
or those at his bedside. He came here
knowing full well that he would be taken
home only as a corpse, but he was deter
mined as he said. that the last act of
his life should be to help an old comrade
in arms and. lifelong friend. Senator
Blackburn, who objected TO his removal
here. Mr.. Wilson was forty-fve years OF
age and a bachelor.
The Blackburn men say that there shall
never be a joint session or ballot for
limited States Senator until the vacancy
caused by Mr. Wilson's death is filled. The
Speaker will probably call the special cleo
ton as soon as Mr.. Wilson's funeral and
interment are over, but as ten days notice
of the election must be given, the joint
session. il ever held, cannot be held Tues
day week. the day fixed by law.

LONDON, Jan. 11.-All the theaters have
settled down to the regular routine busi-
ness that succeeds the holiday rush. The
business at the various pantomimes con-
tinues good and bids fair to rival the finan-
cial success of year ago. The great
event of the theatrical week has been the

THE SALE OF LIQUOR IN THE
CAPITOL.
(O'Rrien Moore.l

The House of Representatives has
passed bill prohibiting the sale of liquor
in the capitol building. | feel entirely
safe in saying that majority OF the
House voted for this measure with the
understanding that it would be killed
in the Senate. II the Senate, under the
spur of the temperance people, however,
should follow tn example of the House,
and pass the bill, it would create con-
sternation among the statesmen. There
is no doubt that liquor is sold openly and
above board at both ends OF the capitol.
Sometimes there has been too much
drinking, and consequent disgraceful
scenes. As a general rule, however, both
restaurants have been conducted decor
ously, and / am informed by old-timers
that here has been no such debauchery
since the sale of liquor has been con-
Quoted openly as there was when it was
the rule for each member to maintain
a private bottle and for every chairman
of committee to keep jug. IL the
bars are abolished the old system will
once again come into vogue, and there
will be much drinking from jugs and
bottles in the committee rooms and cloak
rooms, instead of moderate drinking
from the bars and dinner tables, as at
present.
