CAMPOS' Side OF IT
No Danger Of Rebels In
vading Havana.
The Situation in Cuba from a Mill
tary Point of View, He Says. Re.
mains Unchanged-Rebel Con.
tinuaIly Pushed, But the Results
Are Not Satisfact Ory.

Washington, Jan. s.-The Spanish
minister received last night telegram
from Madrid stating that Marshal
Campos, in telegram received there
yesterday, says: The main body of the
enemy has marched to the province of
Pinar Del Rio. l have advanced the
columns of Generals Valdez, Garcia,
Navarro, Exchague aAd Luque to fol-
low them. / have tha other columns
on the railroad between Havana and
Batabano. They will take rations and
proceed to-day in a parallel line to oc-
cupy the line from Mariel to Artemisa.
The columns of Prdts, Galvis, Fort AL
dados and the batallions of Valencia
and Espana are chasing the small
bands that are burning and commit
ting other depredations. The situation
in Cuba from military point of view
remains unchanged. The insurgents
have proceeded west without daring to
stop in any place and are avoiding all
encounters. They have been continu
ally pushed although the results are
not satisfactory on account of their
destruction of property. Nothing is
in danger and it is absurd to suppose
that they will pretend to attempt to
enter Hava na, when, until the present
moment, they have not dared to enter
any town of medium Importance. In
the department of the east the principle
villas and even in Matanzas, nothing
of Importance has occurred in the past
few days, Notwithstanding that large
number of troops have been withdrawn
from there. That shows that the in
surgents have no means and are not

England's New Poet Laureate Re-
fuses To Sign Peace Petition.
London, JAN Sin reply to re-
quest that he sign the address OF
British literary men to American
authors asking the latter to do all in
their power to prevent a war between
Great Britain and the United States,
Alfred Austin, the new poet laureate,
writes processing admiration and
respect for the American government
and people, but saying that their re-
cent attitude was unfair and un-
friendly. He therefore at the moment
cannot approve of a body or English
men addressing a body of Americans
in language which might be construed
as savoring of timorous complaisance.

AIDED AMERICAN SHIPPING
Under a Protective Tariff Commerce
by Sea Thrived and
Prospered.

eff the shipping in our foreign trade had
grown in proportion to the increase of the
cargoes provided by our foreign COM
merce," says Congressman Dingley
OF Maine in an article concern
ing the American merchant marine,
I'VE should have had a most magnificent
feet Of vessels engaged in transporting
our exports and imports. The difficulty
has not been in want of cargoes. but in
the fact that foreign rather than
American vessels have taken these
cargoes, simply because our ves-
sells could not successfully compete with
foreign vessels, which have all been adj
mitted to participate in the carrying of
our exports and imports on equal terms
with our own vessels since January 1, 1850,
when the United States entered into re-
ciprocal maritime arrangements with Great
Britain.
This brings ont the fact that while on
the one hand our thoroughly protected
merchant marine in the coastwise trade
has prospered because it has not been
brought into competition with foreign ves'
sells, on the other hand our shipping in
the foreign trade, which has been brought
into free and open competition with for
eign vessels since 1850, has been gradually
driven from the ocean. In other words,
protection-protection to the extent of
prohibition of foreign competition-has
saved our shipping in the coastwise trade,
and made it the most magnificent home
feet in the world; while free trade in the
business OF carrying our exports and i'm
ports has well-nigh ruined every Ameri-
can ship-master and ship-owner in this
trade.
"a more complete demonstration of the
wisdom, aye, the necessity of protecting
all our industries against free competition
of similar foreign industries employing
cheaper labor could not be had. Free
trade as theory seems very plausible
on paper; free trade in it's PRACTICAL re-
suits may be seen by any one who looks
for the American merchant marine in the
foreign carrying trade, which has been
struggling against foreign competitor on
free-trade principles for over thirty years.
''The decline of our merchant marine in
the foreign trade is a humiliating fact
which has justly attracted widespread at
tention within few years, and has caused
an earnest discussion of the causes and
the remedies which should be applied to
recover our position in the deep sea carry.
ing trade.
''This topic is rarely alluded to by free
trader in or out of Congress without the
assertion that the decline is the direct re
suit of the national protective policy of the
country adopted by the Republican party
in 1861 and maintained since that
period, and the additional declaration
that up to 1861, when the revenue tariff
noIicv of the Democratic Marty va g ovar
thrown, our merchant marine was expert
encing great and increasing prosperity.
"The conclusive reply to this free-trade
assumption is that the decline of our for.
eign carrying trade, as the official figures
already given show, did not commence
with the adoption OF the protective tariff"

hope he will not be too severe. The con-
tempt of that large-minded gentleman is
SO willing, his naughty disdain, his gram
diloquent swell, his majestic, superemi-
nent, overpowering turkey-gobbler strut
has been so crushing to myself and all the
mem pers of this House that know it was
an act of the greatest temerity for me to
venture upon controversy with him."
Referring then to a chance newspaper
comparison of Mr.. Conkling to Henry
Winter Davis (which he interpreted sar-
castically), he continued:
"The gentleman took it seriously. and it
has given his strut additional pomposity.
The resemblance is great, it is striking.
Hyperion to satyr, Thersites to Hercules,
mud to marble, dunghill TO diamond, a
singed cat to Bengal tiger, whining
puppy to a roaring lion. Shade of the
mighty Davis, forgive the almost profana-
tion of that jocose satire"
After this there was no chance of recon-
ciliation, and the battle was to the death.
Defeated in 1876 and threatened with de-
feat in 1880, Blaine sent his men to the
standard of Garfield, who was elected.

I tOish to emphasize my understanding
of the position of the Republican party
upon this question-that it .favors such
a system of revenue as respects foreign
imports, as tOiH discriminate IN .favor
of our tGborers and against laborers pro-
dtcing the same things IN other countries.
The position of the Senators from Missouri
and Illinois favors the unimpeded intporta-
tion of these competing articles Without re-
stroint and tOithout limitation. a sUautar-
ing man can see that If that IS done 1t tUiU
