HARRISON BOWS To HYMEN.
He At Last Announces His Engage
ment 10 Mrs. Dimmick.


New York, Jan. 17.-Gen. Benjamin Har-
rison tonight formally announced his en-
gagement to Mrs. Dimmick, at the Fifth
Avenue hotel.
There was a crowd of newspaper men
and others about the hotel shortly before
O'Clock, when Secretary Tibbetts ap-
peared and handed them the following:
'Gen. Harrison authorizes the announce
ment that he and Mrs. Dimmick are en-
gagged to be married, and that the mar
riage will not take place until after Lent.
Col Tibbetts refused to further discuss
the announcement, and although the eX-
President was upstairs in his room at the
time, he denied himself to all newspaper
col. Tibbetts said that Gen. Harrison
would remain in the city until after Sun
day, when he would go to Indianapolis
and from there to Washington.
Mrs Dimmck's full name is Caroline
Lord Dmmick. She is the daughter of the
late Mrs. Lord, the eldest sister of Gen.
Harrison's first wife. She is the widow of
a naval officer. After her husband S
death she lived for some time with her
mother in Pittsburg. Mrs. Lord died dur
ing the time that Gen. Harrison was Pres
ldent Mrs. Harrison thereupon sent for
her faYorite niece and namesake to come
to the white house, and made the young
widow her private secretary During
Mrs Harrison's illness, both at the Adj
rondack's cottage and in the white house,
Mrs. Dimmick was her faithful and de-
voted nurse,

CUBAN BANDS CoNauERED.
The Vanguard of Gomez Reported

Washington. Jan. 17-Senor Dupuy de
LONE, the Spanish minister. received the
following cablegram this afternoon from
Madrid, signed by the Duke of Tetuan
minister of foreign affairs. "The COM
Inander-in-chief telegraphs that Gen
Luque overcame in Angosturas, province
Finar del Rio, portions of the bands or

engagement with large band commanded
by Lacret, In Chara, province Of Matan-

Prat reached the vanguard OF Maxine Co

There are reports of other small en-
gagements of less Importance. The enemy
does not resist, and II it does IL is beaten
The division OF the enemy in small bands
causes great fatigue and incoryc-i ience
to the troops, but they harass him close

Minister Dupuy de I.ome late this af-
ternoon received cablegram from the
Duke of Teutuan, minister Of foreign af-
fairs at Madrid, saying: The official
news from Cuba and the state Of the in
surercton Is as satisfactory as / tele-
graphed you this morning. Independently
OF the military action, the government has
authorized Marshal Martinez Campos to
resign his command to Gen. Marin and re-
turn to Spain, owing to the conduct OF
the political parties Of Cuba contrary to
the policy of the commander-ln-chief, ask
ing change in the system OF conducting
the war"
Senor de LONE does not think that the
change in command at this juncture will
have any injurious effect on the cam
paign, or that any radical change in the
conduct of operations win take place.
Spain has shown readiness TO agree 10
