have old-style muzzle-loading guns,
and lead is so scarce that telegraph
wire chopped into short lengths is used
for the charge.
Spanish surgeons have, on several oc-
casions. reported soldiers wounded
with bits of wire. The insurgents have
a few pieces of mountain cannon, cap
tured from government troops. There
are perhaps a dozen of these guns
which have been used with disastrous
effect against the small wooden forts
which the Spanish troops have erected
at various points.
The Cuban "army of liberation as
it is called, has grown to it's present
size in the face of almost insurmoun-

From the beginning it has been out
numbered by the army of Spain in the
ratio of never less than to /. 1t has
escaped humiliation in many encoun-
ters when ammunition ran out. 1T has
lived on forage, been almost constant

daredevil army with but one idea in
view, and that is to free Cuba,
Captain-General Weyler is satisfied
with the progress made in the conduct
or the military operations anu III the
active pursuit of the insurgents which
is now going on. Encounters with the
enemy are of daily occurrence and in
almost every instance the troops are
reported to be victorious.
All reports circulated that it is the
intention of the Captain-General to re-
sign are classed as untrue. The most
complete harmony prevails here be-
tween the Captain-General and the
officers under his command. Gen. Wey-
Ter enjoys the full confidence of the
Spanish government and officials here.
A detachment of troops near Car
denas, province of Matanzas, has cap
tured 151 cases of ammunition, nine
cases of carbines, fourteen medical
chests, twety boxes of accouterments
and two boxes of cartridge caps. These
supplies were evidently intended for
the insurgents.
The Spanish cruiser Infanta Isabel
has left Matanzas for Varadero, near
Cardenas, which is the nearest place
to the spot where the three boat
loads Of supplies OF the enemy were
captured

adopted by the State convention:

sented to the convention as a candidate

delegation, at the assembling Of the
convention, it is apparent that McKin-
ley will be nominated for President.
As a result of this agreement the
Manderson men are to make no further
contention. The delegation to ST.
Louis is to be composed of avowed
Mckinley men The Henderson head
quarters have been closed.
Manderson's many friends in Me-
braska are not disposed to believe that

Proceed IS Of the closing day of the
Miiliksn trial opened with the continu-
ing Of argument by District Attorney
BiIney, who urged that all the evidence
showed that Milliken entered the house
with the object of committing rape on

The court in it's charge instructed
the jury to render verdict of guilty
on the first count, if it believed be-
yond all reasonable doubt that the
house was entered in the night time
with the intention to commit the Of
fense, or that he intended to render the
young lady insensible by the use Of
chloroform or any substance having a
like effect. The verdict should be gull

DIRECT NEGOTIATIONS RESUMED
A Fair Prospect of Settlement of Ven
ezueIan Dispute.

Washington, ID. c., March 20.-No
depial is made in official circles here
that direct negotiations with Great
Britain respecting the Venezuelan
boundary dispute have been resumed
by our State Department at the point
where they were left by the exchange
of notes of Secretary Olney and Lord
Salisbury of last July and last Novem-
ber respectively.
Lord Salisbury had the last word,
according to the published correspond
ence, and the sending of the special
message to Congress by Mr.. Cleveland
had the effect of delaying a response
to Lord Salisburys note, but did not
relieve our State Department of the
necessity of fulfilling the obligation to
reply eventually. 1T is believed here
that not only has this response been
made, but that other exchanges have
followed, principally through the me-
dunn of Ambassador Bayard, at Lon
don, and that once more the negotia-
tions are running along in excellent
temper, with fair prospects of sat
isfactory termination.

ST. Louis, Mo-, March 20-The ar

A rumor that they are here to buy

is met by positive assertions of the
owners that the factories are not for
sale. The most plausible reasons seem
to be that they are here to enlarge

vigorous prosecution of the tobacco
