GOMEZ AGAIN ACTIVE.
Weyler Trying to Prevent Invasion
of Western Havana Provinces


of Western Havana Provinces.
Havana, Sept. II, via Key West. Fla,
Sept IS-Puerto Principe adviccs report
that Gomez was encamped on September
I at Guasmas de Agramonte with fifteen
cavalry squadrons, and was marching west

to reinvade the western provinces.
The government is rushing troops to the
central ,Aagt OF the Trocha, near Jucaro aud
Moron fevent the insurgents crossing.
II is reported that Mayia Rodriguez, with
! 800 men, forming Gomez's vanguard,
crossed the line recently and is no W on the
borders of Sancti Spiritus and Santa Clara
provinces
Quentin Banderas has arrived in RENE
dos district, and is waiting Gomez's ar
rival to take command of the infantry in
the new invasion.
Maceo has left his stronghold in the
mountains aud is encamped with large
forces on the Danes estate, south of Piuar
del Rio city. An attack on the city ia ex-
pected. 1t is rumored that Weyler Will soon
take command of the Spanish forces in
Pinar del Rio, with the intention of ex-
pelling Maceo from the province. If true,
great fighting is expected, on account Of
the strong positions held by the insurgents
and their desire to crush Weyler The Cuban
chiefs have determined to make any sac
rifice to effect Weyler's capture.
The excitement in commercial and finan-
cial circles is increasing. Bank bills have
fallen to 5 discount. Sixteen houses have
cancelled foreign orders, and there have
been no transactions on the stock and pro-
duce exchanges for the last two days

RIGHrs or HucksTERs.

The iutimation given out In the police
court yesterday by Judge Kimball that in
the future hucksters crying their wares
in the streets will be heavily fined, IL
brought before him. is a serious menace
To the business of a hard working class Of
people, whose profits, at the very best,
are but modest. 1t also involves gross
injustice. because these men pay for the
very privilege of which Judge Kimhail
threatens TO deprive them. They may as
well drive their wagons to a graveyard as
move silently along the streets. 1t is the
crying of their wares that calls the atten-
ton of the housekeepers to their presence.
and saves many busy housewife the time
and trouble of going to market. Besides,
hucksters, as a rule, sell their produce more
cheaply than men who stand in the mar
ket. and this also is an important item in
the domestic economy of a thrifty house
wife. No rule is without its exception,
and so there may be now and then an un-
usually and unnecessarily noisy huckster.

will probably have the desired effect,

and robbing him OF Il portion Of his har rd-
earned money,
The law upon which Judge Kimbali bases
his proposed action will hardly bear the
construction he forces from it. 1t declares
that no person shall make any needless
noise or outcry for the purpose of adver-
Using their wares. There is considerable
difference between needless noise or
outcry and no outcry at all. The very
insertion OF the word needless implies
that the lawmakers recognized the right
of the street vendors TO make an outcry
OF some sort for the purpose OF advertis-
ing their wares-a right conferred uron
them by virtue Of the license for which they
have paid It is exceedingly doubtful if a
policeman has the right to modest a man
in the pursuit OF a legitimate business car
ried on in a legitimate manner.

other is disturbed by the meowing of a

fense OF the newsboys breaking in upon
church services On sunday morning and
earning few pennies that may help to
keep the pot boiling in some humble home,
nothing less than confinement in a dark,

TORPEDO BOAT VS.. BATTLEsHIP

QUA - bA
In the sham battle last Monday night
between the bat,lesmp Massachusetts, and
the little torpedo boat Cushing the latter
got SO close to its big adversary, in spite
of powerful search light, which played
all over the water, that had it been a real
engagement the floating fortress would
have been blown out of its element before
you could have said Jack Robinson. Now,
suppose there had been ahalf dozen or more
torpedo boats swarming around the Massa
chusetts, what chance would that naval
leviathan have had against them? In a
moment its destruction would have been
accomplished, its officers and crew doomed
to death and the government several million
dollars out of pocket. All of which shows
conclusively that the value of torpedo boats
has hardly been sufficiently appreciated in
the scheme of our new navy.
The deduction to be drawn from these
premises, of course, is not that less battle
ships, but more torpedo boats, should be
built For every one our navy possesses
the European navies have dozens. Ever
Japan proved their usefulness in her recent
war with China, for where her battleships
and cruisers could do nothing but blockade
the Chinese fleets, a squadron of small tor
pedo boats sent the whole Celestial outfit
to Davy Jones' locker. The recent success
full experiments with submarine torpedo
boats lend additional force to the conten-
ton that the construction of these and
their surface sisters should keep more than
even step with that of large bsttIeships.
A battleship costs all the way from
81 100000 to $3,OOO,O0O without arma-
ment; fully equipped, at least another mil
lion may be added A torpedo boat costs
about one-tenth or one-fifteenth of the
amount. For every battieship authorized
to be built let Congress provide for the
construction of fifteen torpedo boats, and
we shall then have the means of aggrcs-
sion as well as of defense, especially if a
proper number of swift armored cruisers is
also supplied.

NOT FOR TNCLE SAM.

London newspaper, the st. James Ga
zette, is usually about rabid an anti
American sheet as can he found in the
United Kingdom, and nothing that sayors
of the United States has ever found favor
in its eyes. An Of sudden, however, it
appears TO have experienced change OF
heart, for 1t suggests an alliance of Great
Britain, Italy and the United States TO bring
the Turk to reason and put a stop to the
outrages perpetrated in that land of massa-
cres and misery. The proposition evidently
has struck a Ia rIuoniuus chord for the
London Chronicle and several other papers
cordially indorSe il hnd express the hope
that it nay find favor on this side of the
Atlantic. So far. however there has been
no violent outburst OF rapture here over
the idea and it is more than likely that the
suggestion will fall upon barren ground.
The fact is, the United States has no busi-
ness whatever to bother about what is go
ing on In Turkey, however horrible and
repulsive 1t may be, except in SO far as
it affects the rights of American citizens.
Above all things, no alliances with Euro
pean powers for the regulation OF Euro
pean affairs are in its line. Nonintcrfcr-
cnce has been and should continue to he its
policy. Uncle sam resents interference
on this continent by any foreign power,
and consistency compcls him not to poke his
nose in European politics. For that is what
such an alliance as the st. James Gazette
suggests would amount to- 1t would bring
this government at once In collision with
Russia and Germany, Which, for reasons
OF their Own, choose to regard the mas
sacres OF thousands of Christians asa mat
ter OF internal Turkish policy with which
outsiders have nothing to do.
Entanglng alliances arenotfor your Uncle
Samuel. If any Of his people are injured, or
threatened to be injured, in their persons
and property, he is quite able to take care
OF them without the assistance Of any enc,
and beyond that he must shiny On his own
side" Whenever the gccd offices of this
government can serve the cause of humanity
they should be proffered without hesitation
or delay, but, as for alliances, offensive
and defensive, with Great Britain. Italy
or any other European pOwer-nit!
