"Tte voters Of the First ward Of Orange have

wish to inform the public at large. regardless

We are agitators.
"But we ngitate for tho cause OF tho Afro

Feb. 9.--The fighting in Pinar province In the
last few days has been tho most severe since
tho beginning of the war. The condition to
which the Spanish forces in the West are re-

the bands OF Miro, Sotomayer, Delgado, Zayas.
and Bermudcz. The official Government re.

Committees Draft of a Bill for Reorgan-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Winslow
S. Pierce, acting for the reorganiza-
tion committee of the Union Pacific
Railway company, today submitted to
the senate committee on Pacific roads
the reorganization committees draft
of a bill for reorganization. The bill
provides for the appointment by the
president, subject to the approval of
the senate, of a commission of three
members to investigate, determine
and report to the president fair cash
value of the claim and lien of the
United States. The report of the COM
missioners, or majority, subject to the
approval of the president, is to be con-
elusive as to the sum which may be
paid for the claim and lien of the
United States, the secretary of the
treasury upon such payment to execute
an instrument of assignment of the
lien and claim, reserving the sinking
fund. Authority Is given TO the pur-
chasers to organize new company
and it is empowered to acquire and
operate the lines and property of the
railway company with such corpora
tive powers as are necessarily involved,
reserving the governments preferred
right for transportation of mails,
troops, munitions of war, etc. Author
rity and direction is given to the at
torney general, in default of payment
of the amount fixed by the commission,
to foreclose the lien of the government
and upon sale to bid the amount of in
debtedness to the United States. The
United States shall have power to alter,
amend or repeal.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE major
ity against silver in the house today
when the final vote was taken on con-
currence in the senate free-coinage
amendment, was larger than that OF
yesterday in committee of the whole.
Yesterday the motion to concur was
defeated, 100 to so majority of ITO; to-
day it was beaten, 2l5 to 80, a majority
of 125. The vote today was a record
making vote, aud counting the pairs,
only 81 out of 356 members were un-
accounted for. Perhaps few absen-
tees dofged, but most of them were
unavoidably absent and were unable
to secure pairs.
The silver men, who yesterday pre-
dicted a much greater showing of
strength today, were again disap-
pointed. The "soundmoney" leaders
havebeen disposed to concede the silver
forces 100 votes. An analysis of the
vote today shows that 184 republicans
and 81 democrats voted against concur
renee, and IS democrats, 25republicans
and populists for concurrence.
