INSURGENTS in A FIX.
General Marin Ambitious to Annihilate
Them Immediately.

HAVANA, Feb. l.-Copsiderable anxiety
Is felt here regarding the result Of the
military operations now being conducted
against Generals Maxine Gomez and An
tonic Maceo, under the personal direc-
ton of General Marin. 1t Is believed
that Marin has the am billion TO strike a
death blow TO the instruction before the
arrival from Spain OF General Weyler, the
successor of Marshal Martinez de Campos,
rs captain general OF Cuba, and II IS un-
derstood he has taken every step possible
under the circumstances to accomplish
this end. But ambition Is not the only
spur to General Marin's activity. Ii Ia
becoming admitted even in Cuban circles
thai the situation is precarious for the
insurgents.
The tactics of the Spaniards seem to be
to keep the insurgents constantly NOV
ing from place to place, night ana day,
ami so gradually wear them out.
General Marin has now a force OF caval-
ry almost equal In number, it is stated,
10 the cavalrymen of Maceo. A dispatch
from the front this morning announced
that Brigadier General Canela, who Is In
command of the military line down across
Pinar del Rio, was engaged yesterday
with a portion of the forces commanded
by Gomtz. The fight took place between
Mirosa and San Augustin and Is reported
to have resulted in a repulse OF the insur-
geuts.

REALISM in ART.
vesuvius In Grand Eruption by Prof. r.
CaledOn Cameron.

A very great artistic surprise has been
brought TO Providence and quietly set up
in the Boston Store. 1t Is q new colossal
canvass by the painter of Niagara in
Winter and II represents Mount Vesuvius
as 1t appeared at 10 O'Clock IN the night
OF April 26, 1872. when ut the height OF
the grandest eruption OF modern times.
Like the winter picture of our great Falls,
this painting Of the famous burning
mountain is a source of wonderment to
all who see IL. 1t is indeed SO totally I'M
like all our ideas formed from reading
and from Illustrations in books as to be a
new revelation and an establishment.
However, a first glance at the great
painting c~onvinces at once OF its truth
and realism. The accuracy ard precision
in drawing OF the things familiar 10 us,
such as the buildings, shipping. people
on tie housetops and the ripping water
of the sea assures us that the stupendous
color effects of the molten lava and vol
canic vapoTs must also be n literal render
ing of what actually tool place. This
realism Is 50 intense that one forgets that
il is a work OF human hands produced
by the ordinary implements and Pigments
of the painter and gazes at the beautiful
though terrible scene as IL it were actually
the reality itself seen through n great
open d
TO criticise the picture Is hardly posi-
BILE because there IL nothing of the same
sort in existence TO compare with IL. 1t
is the masterpiece OF a msn whose bent OF
genius has led him far away out OF the
beaten tracks of art. Artists usually re-
produce in their works the ex periences OF
their own lives. Professor Cameron's life
has been one of never ceasing travel snd
adventure. The whole world has been
his school. He has visited every conti-
nent and crossed every ocean. This has
brought him continually face TO face with
the forces and pheno OF nature, and
this, In srite Of a long ana severe train
ing in european schools, has given his
work n distinctive stamp and impress.
Ibis extraordinary work Is one OF a Sc
ries OF immense paintings OF tho won
deriul scenes OF the world that the artist
has seen aud upon which he IL now en-
ployed. lie has another well In hand rs
large as tbis,a picture OF a city which he
declares IL the most beautiful In the
world, but he will not tell its name until
the picture Is fnis he'd, which may require
another year.
Professor Cameron has n high repute in
Britain, having won many yrilcs and
held the position Of art teacher by sane
ton and diploma from the government.
His picturcs have been exhibited at the
leading galleries ard he comes amongst
ms armed with n number OF testimonials
OF n high character. "
The Calender, McAuslao n Troup COM
pany deserve the thanks OF the community
for their liz erality In Ilscing this won
derful production on free exhibition. -
