Not only are the markets of the Pa

mill on the coast has its product regu-
lated. The first order issued by the
company was an advance in the price

one-half of this sum comes from foreign
lumber dealers and the remainder from
the consumers along the coast. No
a single stick of lumber for water shin
ment can be purchased on the coast ex
cept through the Central Lumber Com
pany.

London, Feb. 2.-The correspondent
of the Times at Berlin says
AS confirming the intrigue against
Chancellor Won Hohenlohe there APP
pears the following semi-of1icial state
ment: The emperor's speech of Janu-
AIRY Is has been used by the agrarians,
bimetallists and Bismarckians as the
starting point for an intrigue to COM
pass Chancellor Won Hohenlohe's fall
The names of General Count Won Wal
dersee and Won Tartensleben are ad-
vanced as possible successors, because
1t is feared the premature disclosure of
the real candidates name would jeop-
ardize the success of the scheme There
Is not the slightest indication that
Chancellor Won Hohenlohe's position Is
shaken, but these hopes are based on
the emperor's desire for a larger navy,
which the chancellor disfavors.'
The Times correspondent adds that
the name of the secret candidate above
referred to is believed to be Count Her
bert Won Bismarck, but it may be that
his name is advanced only as a means
to defeat the intrigue by connecting
with it the name of a parsonage dis
tasteful to the emperor.
Despite the assertion that Chancellor
Won Hohenlohes position is mistaken"
says the Times dispatch, 1.-The admission
that he opposes the emperor on naval
affairs looks threatening for his posi-

Chicago. Feb. 1.-The judiciary of the

members of the legal fraternity

or authority be conferred up them by
any court of record.
This condition of affairs has been en-
phasized in the decision of a Judge of
the circuit court in a case wherein a
commissioner from Kentucky appoint

sought to establish that the insolvency

tons, refused to be examined, and was
therefore liable for contempt in accord

dent. The court, however before rem
dering decision, looked up recent au-
thorities. and as result discovered
that under the decision in question the
commissioner had no authority to take
testimony. and the court no authority
to compel witness to testify.
This decision makes a break In the

ALL EYES ARE ON MARIN
VIII Try to Crush insurgents
Before Weyler Arrives.
HE Is SPURRED TO ACTIVITY
Position of Insurgents Precarious on
Account Of Lack of Ammun
tion ana Horses.

Havana, Feb. 2.-Considerable anxiety
military operations now being conduct
ed against Maxine Gomez and Antonio
Maceo, under the personal direction of
General Marin, the acting captain gem
eral of Cuba. 1t Is believed that Marin
has been aiming to strike a death blow
before the arrival of General Weyler.
the successor of Martinez de Campos,
as captain general of Cuba, and it is un-
derstood he has taken steps to accom-
plish this end.
But ambition is not the only spur to
Marin's activity. 1t is admitted, even
in Cuban circles, that the instruction
has reached a precarious stage from
several causes, notably lack of ammu-
milton and the want OF fresh horses and
supplies. The steps taken by the Span
ish in gathering in all the horses and
cattle possible have had the effect of
weakening the insurgents considera-
bly,.
Hitherto the great drawback under
which the Spaniards have labored has
been the lack of cavalry with which to
pursue the quick moving mounted in
fantry of the insurgents. This is being
gradually overcome. There Is no deny
ing that the Spanish commanders have,
up to the present, succeeded in keep
ing the insurgent armies apart. With
this object in view new military line
has just been drawn north and south
from Mariet on the northern coast of
Pinar del Rio through Guanajay and
Artemius to the southern coast near
Mangas and upon the maintenance of
| the new line great deal Is said to de-
pend.
Brigadier General Canelo, who Is in
| command of the military line drawn
across Pinar del Rio, was engaged yes
| terday with a portion of the force COM
manded by Gomez. The fight Is report
| ed to have resulted in a repulse of the
| insurgents.
While Canelo maintains the military
line, General Marin will push on west
ward in an engagement to engage
Gomez. Gomez, when last heard from
was in the neighborhood of Paso Re-
dondo, which would seem to substanti-
ate the official statement to the effect
that he has been driven eastward from
| the frontier in Pinar del Rio owing to
the pursuit of the Spaniards.
| The exodus of the better class of peo-
pie from Cuba continues and the prices
| of provisions continue to go up. In
| fact matters have almost reached the
| point where the poorer classes will have
| to depend upon the authorities for re-
lief.
Luxuries are worth their weight in
gold, business is nearly a thing of the
past, and trade with the interior may
| be said to have ceased, excepting thai
part which is carried on by vessels.
