GONEz's FORCES SURPRISED.
Col ROdrigues Reports n Decisive
Victory over the Rebels.

Havana, Nay 16.-The government has
issued an order prohibiting the export Of
leaf tobacco. This action is taken at the
request of local cigar factories which de-
sire to be protected from the effects Of
American competition.
A band Of insurgents yesterday set fire
to and destroyed the whole San Miguel
estate, close to this city. The estate was
owned by the Casanova family. The loss
Is estimated at $4,000.
Col Rodrigues reports from Cienfugos
that he surprised the insurgent forces, un-
der Gomez, while the latter were in camp
near Pidra Plata, causing the utmost con-
fusion in the enemys camp. The rebels
rallied, however, and attacked the Span
ism vanguard, but were quickly repulsed
under the FIRE Of the Spanish artillery
The rebels had seventeen killed and many
wounded. The loss to the Spanish was
trlhing, only three of their number haV-
ing been wounded.
Gov. Gen. Weyler has issued an edict
which VIII appear in tO-mOrrOWs official
Gazette prohibiting temporarily the eX-
port Of tobacco from the provinces of Pi-
mar del Rio and Havana, except to Spain.
Ten days grace are allowed 10 fill existing
contracts. All those failing to comply, the
decree sets forth, viii be considered sym
pathizers with the rebellion, their goods
seized and other severe penalties imposed
Washington, May 16-Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee, the new consul general at Havana,
who was unable to see the President and
Secretary Olney yesterday, had a con-
ference with them to-day. He received
the views Of the administration in regard
to Cuban affairs, but whether they were
the same views which a number OF sem
satiOnal newspapers published as having
been given to him yesterday cannot be
accurately stated. Gen. Lees departure
for his post depends on the wishes Of
the President and Mr. Olney, and no time
has vet been set.

GERMANY NOT OUR FRIEND.
Her People Warned Against Emil
grating to This Country.


Berlin, May 16.-The Reichsanzeiger, the
official publication, prints warning to
Germans against emigrating to America,
the warning being especially directed to
clerks, teachers, officials, students, officers,
governesses, nurses and farmers, all of
whom would be likely to be possessed of
some money and they are particularly eau
toned against the danger of purchasing
land in the United States, which, the pa
per says, is easily obtained.
Valueless land or land to which titles of
possession are not in accord with the
American conditions, from the subjects of
the leading articles in a great many Ger
man newspapers at present and the gem
eral drift of the writings indicate that
there are widespread fears of an existing
or threatened competition between Amerl-
can and German products. For example
the Observation-Disclosures Beilage, in re-
porting the great success of the poultry
and pigeon show held in New York in Feb
ruary last, expresses apprehension that
there will soon be a great influx of Ameri-
can eggs into Germany.
The most serious of these articles Is DR..
Bellows virulent attack upon American
meat, which is published in the Nossicne
Zeitung, despite the fact that that paper
is the champion OF the anti-agrarian
movement. The article embodies a letter
written by the head of the great Armour
packing establishment in Kansas City
in answer to DR.. Bellows request that
examinations be made in Armour's yards
looking to the discovery Of trichinosfs.
In his letter Mr. Armour contends that
the system of exercising control over
meats in operation in Berlin is incom-
patible with the greatness of the Ameri-
can trade. DR.. Below confines his attack
chiefly to the American inspectors OF
meats and complains that everything is
left to their will. IF they receive an
adequate annual stipend from the trade
kings" Dr. Below says, eve may be sure
that the inspectors won't be too particu-
lar in endeavOring to detect trichinosis -
The Hamburger Nachrichten, the or
gan of Prince Bismarck, strongly ap-
proves the emperor's telegram in allusion
to DR.. Stoecker, formely court chaplain,
which was published in the Berlin Post
last week, wherein the emperor declared
that clergymen should attend to the souls
of men and not mix in politics.
The Nachrichten, in expressing aDpro-
val of this sentiment argues that the
kaiser himself is the summus episcopus
for Prussia, therefore clergymen are state
officials and are consequently forbidden
to engage in political agitation

RESCUE OF THE ARMENIAxs.
Removal From Their .DesoIated
Land Now AdvoeRted.


Land Now Advocated.
Birmingham, Ala, May 16.-Hugo Bo-
gegian and NJ V. Richard Of Boston
are in the city, accompanied by the agent
OF the Southern railway, with headquar-
ters at Washington. Their mission as in
dividuals is not openly stated, but it is
easily surmised to be connected in some
way with an effort to secure by rescue,
by removal as far as possible from their
desolated land, those Armenians that the
cruelty and hate of the Turk have vet
spared. Arrangements have been made
for a meeting Of citizens at South Side
church tomorrow evening at s o'clock,
to express their sympathy for this perse-
cuted people. Mr.. Bogegian and Mr..
Richard VIII both make short addresses.
No collection is asked or expected at the
meeting The purpose Of the meeting is
to arouse interest and sympathy in these
people and their fearful condition, and
to show to them through their fellow
countrymen now with us that the people
Of Birmingham have hearts. and are glad
and willing to further aid in any and all
proper movements looking to their relief
and help.

He Is Put On an Equality with the
Other Republican Candidates.
Washington, May 1G.-The report Of the
advisory board of the supreme council OF
the A. P. A., which was finally completed
this morning, while exonerating Maj. Nc
kinley of some Of the charges that had
been made against him and Withdrawing
the boycott does not declare him TO be the
choice Of the A. p. a. The Ohio candidate,
as far as the boards action affects him,
is to stand on the same fooung before the
A. +. A. as the other presidential candi-
dates. The board condemns no one and
does not endorse any one. The executive
committee, which issued the boycott, Is
not eXcOriated as was predicted in some
quarters. The board recommends that its
report be given to the press. IL Is under
stood that some of the western republican
members of the order insist that the re-
port does not go far enough and they are
determined that the supreme council shall
make good the ddciencies. The council
was engaged this morning IN considering
amendments to It's by-ias.s
The portion of the advisory board report
relative to the Mckinley boycott says that
the executive committee We're justified on
the face Of the affidavits in sending out the
boycott. But, after the matter has been
referred to a subcommittee Of three, and
it had submitted its report, statements
were presented to the board which showed
the charges to be incorrect and not sus-
tanned. Therefore, Mckinley "is placed
on an equality with Allison, Reed, Quay,
Morton, Cullom and Harrison" as far as
the A. p. A. IS concerned.
The supreme council tonight unani-
mously adopted the report of the advis-
ory board. The election of officers was
proceeded with until midnight when, IN
Difference to the objections of many of
the members to transact business on Sun
day, the council adjourned until a. m.
Monday. John W. Echols of Atlanta Ca
was chosen supreme president; II. s. Will
Jams of Boston, supreme vice president
and Mr.. Swain Of California, supreme sec
retary Of state. The remaining officers
will be chosen Monday.
Washington was selected as the perma-
nent headquarters of the order.
