GOMEZ NOT ENTRAPPED.
The PlucISy msurgent Again Makes a
Brilliant Retreat.

HAVANA, Jan. 1O.-News has been re-
ceived that Maxine Gomez, with 1000 OF
the insurgent forces has again passed the
plantation of San Antonio and the towns
of Alquizar and Guira Melena. His pres
ent whereabouts and his proposed destina-
tion are not mt present known, but his
movement is practically countermarch
over the same route by which he entered
the province of Pinar del Rio Guira
Melcna is on line almost directly south
of Havana. Gomez is therefore well out
of the region in the province of Pinar del
Rio, i'll which it was said he was being en-
meshed rs in trap.
The column of troops commanded by
Colonel Molina, in the district of Alfonso
XII, province of Matanzas, have captured
an insurgent position on Mount Man
juari, at the point of the bayonet The
engagement lasted four hours, during
nearly all of which time the Spauiards
used the bayonet. They captured the in
surgent camp, thirty sets of arms and
much ammunition, supplies, medicines
and an insurgent banner The insurgents
left fifteen killed on the mountain, and re-
treated with many wounded partly in the
direction of Cienega and others in the di-
rcctton of the province of Havana. The
troops had two officers and twelve soldiers
wounded.
dispatch from Santiago de Cuba, capi-
tai of the province of that name, says that
insurgents have burned the houses, ma
chinery and plantation Of Mejorana, near
Dos Caminos, that province
The news published in New York, via
Tampa, Fla, that the insurgents have
captured seventeen forts and that 700
soldiers have deserted the enemy, is not
true. The insurgents have not been able
to capture one fort, it is officially asserted.
Daniel Bolivar, secretary of General
Maceo, the insurgent commander, was
wounded in the engagement at Ceiba
Aqua, and has died OF his wounds. Cap
tain Cesar Dehlle, aidede-camp of Gen
eral Maceo, has surrendered to the Spin
ish authorities

OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Important Questions Before TomorrOw's
Meeting of the Senate Committee.


Meeting of the Senate Committee.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Very general
interest is manifested about the senate in
the special meeting Of the committee on
foreign relations, which has been an
nounced for tomorrow, to consider the
various measures before it bearing upon
the foreign questions which have recently
been receiving such general attention. 1t
is understood now that the senate will to-
day adjourn over until Monday, and in
case it does the committee will probably
hold an all day session.
1t is the purpose of the committee to
take up especially the Cuban, Venezuelan
and Armenian questions with incidental
reference, in connection with the Nene-
zuelan subject to the Monroe doctrine.
There are so many bills and resolutions
before the committee bearing upon ali
phases of these questions that it is quite
probable that more than one days sitting
will be necessary to dispose of them or any
one of them, While there is no positive
information obtainable at this time, there
are reasons for believing that preference
will be given to the Cuban question. This
question will be considered when taken up
on the basis of the propriety of recogniz-
ing the belligerency of the insurgents
There is unquestonably majority in
the committee favorable to granting this
recognition, but there may be a division
of sentiment as to the time when 1t should
be given. There is a feeling on the part
of conservative senators that too great
precipitateness in this direction may do
the Cuban cause more injury than benefit.
1t is, therefore, possible that even after
investigating the situation in Cuba as
fully as is possible positive action by the
committee will be deferred to a time which
may be decided to be more opportune than
the present.
Some of the members of the committee
feel that tho time is almost ripe for posi-
tive demonstration on the part of this
country in Turkish waters, to emphasize
the determination of the United States to
protect its subjects in that quarter. The
committee will consider the advisability
of n move for that purpose.
1t is believed that the Venezuelan prob
lem, while the most important Of all, may
be postponed longer than the others, in
view of the fact that the appointment of
the special commission has had the effect
of postponing any crisis in that connection
for the present.

Another Effort for Kent

Bismarck, N. D., July Attorney
Hildreth Of Fargo has filed his petition
for a rehearing of the Kent murder
case before the supreme court The
first point raised is that the Defendant,
Kent, was not present when the mo-
ton for a new trial was made. The
second proposition is in regard to in
dorsement of the names of the wit.
nesses on the information. The third
proposition relates to the claim Of
privilege by Kent on the stand when
undergoing DISCRIMINATION This
point is discussed at great length, and
Mr.. Hildreth relies in this particular
on the decision of Chief Justice Mar
shall in the lrial of Aaron Burr for
treason. The fourth and last PROPOSE
ton upon which the rehearing is asked
is in the matter of the trial judges
charge to the jury. It is urged that the
supreme court examine this thorough

Mr.. Hildreth calls the attention of the
supreme court to it's language in the
opinion. He thinks that it is unneces-s
5sary and asked theecourt to reconsider
the same.

indulge in the luxury of using them,
even if they had the financial means.
In the morning all the people who
had promised provisions had them car
ried to the vestibule of the church.
which was used as depot on that day.
The streets leading to the church were
teeming that morning with servants
and housewives, all carrying baskets
filled with the good things. From the
church they were carried to the grove.
There, from early sunrise, young ladies
and young men were busy making
and setting the rude tables, also a
place for the orator of the day.
The latter had been invited from a
neighboring town because Of his wide
repute for eloquence. He was young
man, who wore his hair long and af-
fected an artistic Indifference to the
common affairs Of life. He was also
eccentric in his dress, and in ordinary
conversation used nothing but the
most ponderous language. He was
regarded as one Of the coming men
of the day by the comm unity and
himself.

the grove had been completed, and the
people gathered at the church for the
grand procession to the festival place.
"A band composed of young men of
the village led the way, followed by
the three finest cquipages to be had,
in which sat the aged Revolutionary
heroes. The 1912 veterans marched
next, and then came all kinds Of
vehicles, from the heavy farm wagon
to the light buggy, containing the
children and the very old folks. All
the others walked, and to the mixed
time of the band made fine showing.
At the grove the minister offered
prayer, and then the ambitious poll
tician read the Declaration of INDIE
pendence in his finest voice. Next
came the orator of the day, who, of
course, took as his theme patriotism
and the great and growing country.

ALL HOPE rs GONE.
All the Men i'm the Pittston Shaft
Undoubtedly Dead


Wilkesbarre, Pa, July LIT is al
most a settled fact that of the small
nrlny Of men which entered the ILL
fated Twin shaft at Pittston not one
survived. ss Not only is every approach
to their dark tomb barricaded by
enormous masses of rock and debris,
but it is known that in the mine there
is a large quantity of water which is
increasing in volume every minute.
Thus the chances of recovering their
bodies are more remote than ever.
Prominent officials say that weeks or.
months may be consumed in clearing
away the fallen coal in order to reach
the bodies of the victims. A mine
superintendent Of thirty-five years ex-.
pcrience thinks the unfortunate men.
have met the same fate that befell the
twenty-siX miners who persisted in No.
slope of he Susquehanna Coal COM
raDy in December, 1885.
These men were caught in rush
of culm and water from the surface.
Their bodies were buried under a
mountain Of coal refuse. Three hun
dred men labored for more than two
weeks to rescue them but the more
debris they took out the more rushed
in from the surface opening. AS the
titSh WIS Il uOpeleSS+ one 1t Was finally
abandoned and the portion Of the mine
where the men died was closed up.
Tho supposition that there is water
in the Twin shafts is we'll founded.
Both the LackaWanna and Susquehan-
Ia rivers run in close proximity to the
shaft. From the surface to the point
where the rock begins there is at least
q river wash to the depth Of fourteen
feet. From this point down to the
bottom or the level where the men are
there was previous to the fall 2SO feet
of rock. So long as this remained in
tact there was perhaps more leakage
through the crevices in the mine than
in mines which were not so close to
large bodies Of water When the fall
occurred the 2S0 feet of rock mentioned
must have been shattered, allowing the
water to pour into the mine in large
quantities until the open space below
was TILED The natural consequence
Of this is that if the men did not lose
their lives under the mass of rock they
fust have died by drowning. II this
he the case it will be impossible to re-
move the bodies from the mine. The
story will be repetition of the Nanti-
coke disaster

rest of Surveyor Harrison on the banks
of the Cuyuni river in Venezuela. The
