Africa, a time we were all hoping to
see when they would not speak Of the
United Kingdom, but the empire, one
and indivisible.
The greatest enthusiast to this hope,
Sir Donald concluded, was the pres
ence in the colonial Office of a man
who was determined to do everything
possible to knit the empire together.
The speaker then referred to Canadi-
an loyalty and said it was the greatest
mistake to suppose the French in Can
ada were not loyal. There was no
more loyal man at present he said,
than Mr.. Laurier, the new premier.
In conclusion Sir Donald invited
the English artillery again to come to
Canada and compete there for the
cups.

Spaniards. When the Spaniards were
falling back after the last charge, in
great confusion, Rabi ordered his men
to advance. Throwing aside their
guns after pouring in last volley, the
Cubans dashed upon the broken Span
ish column with the machete. The
charge of the Cubans swept every
thing before it, and the Spaniards fed
in utter rout. The Spaniards were
pursued almost to Bayamo, and
reached the city completely exhaust
ed. The Cubans did fearful execution
with the machete. From their camp
almost to Bayamo the route was
marked by Spaniards with heads cut
open or arms Topped off. The Spanish
also lost their mountain howitzers and
Calling guns, besides rifles and am
munition.
The Spanish authorities in Hayana
have been informed that the city Of
Holguin is besieged by Cubans, and
that the garrison can not hold out
much longer. Irene Munos and her
company of amazons form part of
the besieging forces. The Spaniards
made several desperate sorties, but
were driven back. The amazons took
part in these engagements, and fought
CALAMITY.
At Manzanillo, Maj. Roblejo and
Capt. Raventes, of the Spanish vol

of Capt. Gen. Weyler. Weyler claims
he has evidence the officers have been
in correspondence with Gomez. and
were preparing to betray the city and
Spanish garrison to the Cubans. Since

MEXICAN RAILROAD LEASED.
1t viii Have Direct Bearing on the
Mexican Carrying Trade.

San Francisco, Aug. 11.-An English
Whetman Pearson, member of parlia-
syndicate, at the head of which is Sir
ment for Colchester, has just conclud-
ed a lease with the Mexican govern
ment of the Tehauntepec Isthmus rail-
way. The terms of the lease include
an agreement on the part of the syndi-
cate to finish the works, already well
advanced, for the improvement of the
harbor of Coatzacoalcos at the Allan
tic terminus of the road and construct
harbor works at Salina Cruz, the Pa
cific terminus, which were included in
the original plans, but which the Mex
lean government has been unable to
execute.
The road itself will be greatly i'm
proved and put in the condition of a
first-class line. A line of ships, plying
between Salina Cruz and San Fran
cisco, will be put on and deliver
freight to lines plying in the Gulf Of
Mexico. A determined effort will be
made to secure the freight and low
priced passenger traffic Of San Fran
cisco. On the other side Of the 18TH
mus it is expected to get the bulk of
the European fine freight, such as silk
goods, which now come by steamship
to New Orleans and by rail to San
Francisco. ----

A CUBAN VICTORY.
SPANISH TROOPS SUFFER A VERY
HEAVY LOSS.
Over Five Hundred Killed and Wounded
in the Spanish Attacks on the
Cuban Camp.

Key West, Fla, Aug. 11.-In a great
battle fought near Bayamo, province
of Santiago de Cuba, the Spaniards
were overwhelmingly defeated, sus-
tanning loss of over 500 in killed,
wounded and missing. Advices from
Havana tonight state that the battle
occurred on August 3, but that the
Spanish authorities have given orders
to suppress all details of the disaster.
Rabi, the Cuban chief, with 1900
men, was encamped near Bayamo.
Several conveys of provisions and am
munition for the Spanish garrison in
Bayamo were taken by Rabi's forces,
and the Cubans finally became so ag-
gressive that Col. Segura determined
to dispense them. With 1000 Span
iards Col. Segura marched against
Rabi on August 2. The column was
provided with several mountain
howitzers and Calling guns. August
3 the Spaniards approached the Gu
bans, who were strongly intrenched,
and Immediately gave battle. Segura
led his men repeatedly against the Gu
bans, but the latter, protected by
their intrenchments, poured in dead
ly fire, and easily drove back the

Sending Out Free Silver Speeches as
Sound Finance.
Washington, Aug. 11.-Some con-
sternation has been created at the
covery that in some unexplained man.
ner the bureau officers have been
guilty Of circulating some Of Senator
Stewards silver speeches. To answer
comprehensively all of the many ques-
lions relating to the currency which
have been pouring in Secretary Car
Isle some time ago caused to be pre-
pared Circular No. 123, pamphlet
giving much information on bond is
sues, paper currency and the like.
Whenever an application was made
for information, the answer to which
could be found in this little volume,
the bureau chief receiving the letter
would simply mail one of these circu-
lars to the applicant, in place of writ
ing out an answer. This has been go
ing on for at least week, and there
is no telling how many circulars have
been sent out, when letter came to
hand calling attention to the fact that
the department had sent to him in an
swer to his inquiry strong silver
speech, delivered in the senate Septem-
Der 5, last, when filibuster was go
ing on. An examination Of the piles
of circulars lying in the department
showed that in some way the public
printing Office had bound up in the
cover purporting to state the contents
of this pamphlet number Of Senator
Stewards speeches. The officials say
they have found only IT'S Of the
speeches SO far, but there is no means
of learning just how many have been
sent out under the guise of sound
financial statistics.

Ocean View Hotel, Block Island, and
at the Hamilton, in Washington, d. c.,
died few days ago, leaving $4,000

Miss McGrenn has relatives, with
whom she corresponded frequently, but
they are unknown to the hotel people,
and her body has been placed in a

The most peculiar feature of the case
is that the hustle was cast away in a
lot of rubbish and by the merest
chance an inquisitive servant pulled
it to pieces.
