TRYING TO BAG THE INSURGENTS.
MaIin's Tactics i'm Cuba and What He
Hopes to Accomplish.

HAVANA, Feb considerable anxiety
is felt here regarding the result of the
military operations now being conducted
against Generals Maxine Gomez and
Antonio Maceo under the personal direc
tion of General Marin, the acting captain
general of Cuba The steps taken by the
Spanish authorities in gathering in all
the horses and cattle possible have had
the effect of weakening the insurgents
considerably. The tactics of the Span
iards seem to be to keep the insurgents con-
stantly moving from place to place, night
and day, and SO gradually wear them out.
There is little doubt that the insurgents
are feeling the effect of these tactics.
Hitherto the great drawback under
which the Spanish have labored has been
the lack of cavalry with which to pursue
the quickly moving mounted infantry OF
the insurgents The defect is being grad
ually remedied, and General Marin has
now with him in the province of Pinar
del Rio force of cavalry almost equal in
numbers, 1t is said, to the cavalrymen Of
Maceo who, according to all reports, has
been for some time past doing everything
possible to effect junction Of his forces
with those Of Macao.
But there Is no denying that the Span
ish commanders have up to the present
succeeded in keeping the insurgent armies
apart. With this object in view a new
military line has just been drawn north
and south, from Mariel, on the northern
coast of Pinar del Rio, through Guanejay
and Artemisa to the southern coast near
Mangas, and upon the maintenance OF
this new line great deal Is said to de-
pend
A report has been received from Man
zanillo that the we'll known insurgent
leader Francisco Rabi has died from
wounds received in battle

TRAGEDY AT SEA.
Dreadful Fate of a Tank.Ship
on the Ocean.
TwENTY-NINS LIVES WIPED OUT

wiidaower Believed to Have Been De
stroyed Ia AN Instant by the Explosion
of Over q Million Gallons of Petroleum
Another Vessel Sees n Red Glare. Fol-
lowed by "a Dull Roar. That Was the
Probable Requiem of ship and Crew.
of the tank steamship Phosphor, which
got into port yesterday from Shields, Great
Britain, went TO the office of the Mutual
Towing company in the Produce Ex
change during the afternoon and told a
story that perhaps accounts for the non
arrival in England of the British tanker
Wildflower, which left Philadelphia fol-
Rouen, France, on Dec. IL last. The
Wildfiower has never been heard of since
and the reinsurance on her in London Is
quoted at 80 guineas premium. The ves-
sci had 300 900 gallons of petroleum In
her tank. and left Philadelphia in COM
pany with the Phosphor. For twenty
three days the Phosphor struggled on her
way to Copenhagen,
Story the Steamship Loeb Elive Tells.
From Copenhagen the Phosphor went
to Shields, and just before Captain An
derson sailed from there on Jan 10 he
heard story that convinced him that the
Wildflower bad made her last voyage. 1t
was this: The steamship Loeb Elive,
from New York Dec. "a for Cork, reported
on her arrival there Jan. 3 that about 25O
miles west-southwest from the coast OF
Ireland. on Jan. 6, the crew saw sudden
glare in the sky. AS far as the eye could
see TO the westwest the sky was vivid
red for moment and then it died out
slowly, until in half our the seas rim
was lost again in the darkness.
Dull Roar Follows the Glare.
A few seconds after the fare-up dull
roar, like the discharge of heavy gun,
made the Loeb Elive vibrate and rock.
The crew were amazed at what they then
thought was one of natures pranks.
When Captain Anderson found that the
Wildfower had not made port he came
TO the conclusion that it was that vessel
that had caused the supposed phenomena
near the Irish coast, and the captain of
the Loeb Elive was also convinced that
the fare up was the explosion of the 1890,
700 gallons of oil in the Wildhower' $
tanks.
Took Twenty-Five Men with Her.
Captain Anderson says the Wildfower
would have been just about where the
skipper of the Loeb Elive saw the glare on
Jan. 6, as the twenty-three days storm
would have detained her and blown her
out of her course somewhat. There were
twenty-nine men on the missing vessel
when she went out of the Delaware capes.
Her skipper was Captain Stanwell. He
had wife and little daughter, who are
now in London. Many of the crew were
Amerc ms, who shipped in Philadelphia.

"In view Of the reiolutsons passed by
the state central committee at its recent
meeting. and Of the fact that delegates to
the national Republican convention are
soon to be chosen In this state, have con-
cluded that some statement from me as
to my wishes and purposes should now be
made to my Indiana friends. Hitherto
have declined to speak to the public upon
this matter, but scores of friends to whom
! have talked and many scores more to
whom i have written will recognize in
this expression the substance of what
have said to them. To every one who has
proposed to promote my nomination
have said mo-
"There never has been an hour since l
left the White House that / have felt a
wish to return to it, My Indiana friends
have been most devoted and faithful, and
am their grateful debtor The Repub.
lican party has twice in national conven-
ton given me its Endorsement, and that is
enough. / think tho voters of our party
are now entitled to have a new name. For
the sentiment, great or small, that has
been manifested for my nomination 1 am
grateful, and of that wider respect and
Misunderstanding party lines-which
have been shown me in SO many ways
am profoundly appreciative.

uNLooKeD-FoR PLEA IN A CASE.
Contracts with the Engineers Brotherhood
Against Public Policy.

MEMPHIS, Feb I'm the case of Charles
H. Johnson against the Iron Mountain
Railroad company, on trial here, quite an
unlookedfor point was made by the rail.
road company Johnson's suit is brought
under a contract made by the road with
the engineers employed on its lines, but it
is understood that the contract was eff
fected really with the Brotherhood of Lo.
connective Engineers.
The contract provides that no engineer
shall be discharged without just cause
and stipulates that if he is discharged he
shall have an investigation by a commit
tee composed of an engineer and two Off
GERS of the company The railroads at
torney insists that the contract is void, as
contrary to public policy. 1t is understood
that contracts similar TO this have been
made with nearly all of the eastern and
western roads and the decision is calcu
lated to brew a storm in railroad circles.
