LETTER FROM GEN. GARCIA.
Insurgeut Leader Tells of His Meeting
with Gomez.


New York, Dec. 7.-Cuban Delegate
Palma has received a letter, dated Nov.
s, from General Calixto Garcia. After
Garcia had left Guaimaro a heap OF
ruins, the letter said, the march was
resumed toward Puerto Principe. The
forces Of Garcia and Gomez met about
twelve miles from there, at La Gloria
village. In the presence of both armies
Gomez shook Garcia's hand and con-
graduated him on his glorious victory.
Thirty-one prisoners taken by the Gu
bans were delivered under flag OF
truce to a Spanish column at Ell Faro.
The Spaniards apparently had neither
ambulances or litters. When they re-
treated from Guaimaro all the wounded
were tumbled into six small jolting
carts and driven hurriedly off the field
before their wounds were dressed. Cen
eral Garcia's letter confirmed the news
of the death of Major Winchester ID.
Osgood, who gained athletic fame as
the half-back of the Cornell football
team and later of that of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania.

ma, chairman of the Republican nation
al committee. accompanied by Hon. II.
c. Payne of Wisconsin, arrived in
Washington at 7:40 o'clock Saturday
morning and went to the Arlington
hotel Mr.. Hanna declared that the
purpose of his visit was confined, at
most, exclusively to the making of
Preparations for the inaugural cere-
monies next March, and to deciding
some points in connection with the
proposition to remove the headquarters
of his committee to Washington, with
the view of continuing the work of the
committee in preparation for the cam
paign of 1900.
His first act was to make an inspec-
ton of the new congressional library
building with a view to its reception or
rejection as the place for the inaugural
ball. The eligibility of the building has
been strongly urged by those who think
the selection of this building would do
much to disarm the criticism OF those
who, on principle, oppose an inaugural
festival. Mr.. Hanna was accompanied
In his inspection of the building by Mr..
Payne and several other friends.
Mr.. Payne said. In reply to a question
as to the accuracy of the reports con-
cerning Mr.. Hanna's intention to call
upon Senator Sherman as the agent OF
Mr.. Mckinley, with the view of Offer
ing the senator the state department
portfolio, that he had no doubt Mr..
Hanna would make a social call upon
the senator. but that II he should do so,
the incident need have no special sig
nificance, as they were personal
and political friends.
II don't believe" said Mr.. Payne,
that the personnel Of the cabinet Will
be decided for month yet. or for
longer time"
Mr.. Payne declined to discuss the re-
port that he would be a member o1

SITUATION AT CHIPPEWA FALLS.
No Immediate Prospects OF the Water

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Dec. THE
water receded thirty-seven inches Fri
day, but 1t rose eleven inches Friday
night, and is now stationary. There
seems to be no immediate prospect OF
the water leaving the city entirely;
neither is 1T expected that it will again
attain it's height of two days ago. Fri
day some of the merchants began NOV
ing into the abandoned buildings, but
work was not continued Saturday on
account of the condition of the river.
No risks will be assumed by the busi-
ness men, who perfer to remain where
they. are, rather than expose their ef-
fects to the flood. All feeling that great
destruction to property will cease at
once has passed away, and things are
fast assuming their normal condition
here. Anchor ice is still coming down
the river, but in greatly reduced quan-
titles, and the gorge is not assuming
much larger proportions. The Central
road hasNhees enal,ed to use it's tracks
for a few. hours, but had TO abandon
them Saturday morning on account OF
the rise during the night. Its depot Is
badly wrecked and will not be fit for
use again. The operator has taken up

MURDER OF MRS. GEDDEs.
Probability That 1t Was Not Her Husband
Who Killed Her.

Bloomington, Ills, Dec. THE the
ory that Mrs. Fred Geddes. who was
found strangled to death and hanging
to a door of her home in Ford county
a few mornings ago, was killed, not
by her husband, but by a stranger, Is
gaining ground. The murder occurred
just across the line. not far from Anch-
or, Mclean county. Geddes is an ig-
norant German fran hand, who has
enjoyed a good reputation. The little
daughter of Geddes, aged years, told
that her father killed her mother and
Geddes denied the crime. The woman
was killed before daybreak, and 1t Is
believed that the child could not have
distinguished between her father and
any other man, and Geddes said that
he had gotten up and gone to the field
before daybreak. Children of a neigh
Dor now say that strange man ran
from the Geddes house just after day
light. This theory accounts for the
action of Geddes in insisting, when told
Of his wife's death. that joke was be-
ing perpetrated on him.

Revival of Pension Troubles at the Iowa
Soldiers Home.


Marslhalltown, Ia, Dec. 7.-Reports
reached here Friday from Washington
and Des Moines relative to a revival
of the pension troubles at the Iowa SOL
diers' home. "A Des Moines paper Fri
day morning asserted that United
States District Attorney Fullen was
preparing to cause the arrest, on In
formation lodged before Commissioners
Mason. of Commandant Ratekin and
all the members of the board OF trus-
tees of the soldiers home on charges
of violating sections 4745 and 4747 or
the revised statutes Of the United
States, in retaining excess pensions or
inmates over So a month. "a number
of the inmates of the home brought
suit about year ago against the offl-
cials OF the institution for retaining
part of their pension money and con-
verting IL into the contingent or sup
port fund. Judge Hindman sustained
them. The case was carried up to the
supreme court, and the ruling or the
lower court was reversed. Fridays de-
velopments indicate that the fight Is to
be reopened.
Commandant Retekin said he knew
nothing of any probable proceedings.

at all. He merely enforced rule adopt

cally no longer any doubt of the in
tention of President-elect Mckinley to
convene the Fifty-fifth congress in ex-
traordinary session early next spring.
There were several arrivals of friends
and confdents of Major McKinley's di-
rect from Canton Saturday who bring
the very positive announcement that
a call for a special session, to be con-
vened few days after the 4th of March
has been decided upon. 1t is stated by
men In a position to known that this
decision has been definitely reached by
Mr.. Mckinley since his consultation
with Mr.. Dingley, chairman of the
committee on ways and means, and
Mr.. Dingley had been trusted with the
privilege Of making known this inten-
ton at the proper time.
Senator Thurston. one of the latest
arrivals from Canton, expressed Sat-
urday in the most positive terms the
conviction that an extra session will
be called. The senator was one of the
earliest and staunchest supporters of
Mr.. Mckinley and there is every rea-
son for believing that his utterance is
inspired to a degree. though the sena-
tor himself declines to say such Is the
case. "All 1 can say" he said Satur-
day. "is that have very recently seen
Major Mckinley, and that / am con-
vinced a session of the next congress
will be called for about the 18th of
March. That ought to be satisfactory.

consider that there is any doubt on
the point
"Shall we have the extra session re-
gardless of the result of the senatorial
elections this winter?" was asked.
Pledged to the People.
"Yes; the complexion of the senate
will not be allowed to influence the de-
cision at all. The Republican admin
| istration has been elected under a
pledge to the people to reform the tar
iff, and its duty to this country Is to
proceed about that business at the ear
liest possible moment and either to
keep it's pledge or make it manifest
that it is impossible to do so. I think
we ought to secure tariff which could
be put into effect by the beginning of
the next fiscal year"
Senator Thurston said he did not con-
slider the passage of the Dingley bill
at the short session as possible.

of Idaho. who reached the city Satur-

passage of the Dingley revenue bill at
the short session of congress was i'm
probable. believing the conditions in the
senate to be the same as when the mo-
ton was made to take up the bill for
consideration. The senator thinks
therefore that an extra session is likely.
although that will have to be deter
mined by the Republicans when they
