New York, Jan. Ga special to the
World from Havana, Cuba, says:
The insurgents have attacked and burn
ed the towns of Gabriel Guira and Arte-
misi. stations on the Western railroad
which runs from Havana to Pinar Del
Rio.
Gabriel and Guira are in Havana PROV
ince. The telegraph operator at the CEN
trail railway station learned ut = p. m.
yesterday that communication by wire be-
yond the town of Salud had been cut.
A paper here has an editorial counsel
ing serenity. even if Gomez and Maceo
are near. 1t says the worst thing that
could happen would be for the insurgents
to return to Santa Clara province, be-
cause the natural conditions of the coun-
try make it easy to pursue them herea-
bouts and compel decisive battle.
A Madrid dispatch states that Premier
Canovas said yesterday that his govern.
ment only thought of sending men and
supplies to Cuba.
General Campos is still in Havana.

the remainder of the week and for some
time afterwards will be based upon these
bills. The bond bill, probably. will be
the first of the two measures to re-
ceive attention and it il considered prob
able that fortnight may be devoted to
its consideration. The Republicans also
are hopeful Of being able to dispose of
the tariff bill in the same length of time.
They have received assurance from in.
dividual Democratic leaders that they
will not resort TO dilatory tactics TO pre-
vent the early disposal Of either of the
bills. This does not mean, however. that
they will not insist upon n thorough de-
bate upon them.
Senator Elkins bond resolution holds
its place on the calendar as the unfinished
business, and is in position to furnish
basis Of discussion until the finance bills
shall be reported. If il should not be act
ed upon before these reports are made, it
is yet uncertain whether the resolution
would be pressed but the chances are
that il would be.
The finance committee will meet again
Monday afternoon, by which time it is
presumed the silver majortics Of the
committee will have proposed its substi-
tute for the bond bill, which will provide
for free coinage. The fate of the tariff
bill is not so certain. On this bill the Re
publcans consider themselves masters Of
the situation in committee and they are
in doubt whether TO report it as it came
from the house or amend il in accordance
with the wishes Of individual Republi-
can senator's. There is n disposition on
the part of some of the members to in
crease the schedule advance on all
articles except sugar while the others
think the case should only apply to agri-
cultural products. In either event it is
probable that the sugar schedule will re-
cciye the same treatment as the others in
obedience to the wishes Of Senator Per
kins of California and Senator Thurston
of Nebraska.

CHILE THE CHANNEL.

Washington, Jan. 0.-There are visible
signs Of a purpose on the part OF Great
Britain to come to an understanding with
Venezuela ON the boundary dispute inde-
pendent OF the action OF the United
States. The statement published yesser-
day that Lord Salisbury was seeking,
through some American power other than
the United States, to re-establish dlplo-
matte relations with Venezuela is gen.
orally believed here. In fact. II has semi
official confirmation by information re-
ceived here in diplomatic quarters.
The Gillian government, II is said.
is the channel through which Great Brit
ain is working to secure an understand
ing with Venezuela.
As to England's ability to reach a set
tlement directly with Venezuela, there is
only one opinion in Washington. II Is
sion Of virtually all Of the claims set up
by Great Britain. The Venezeuelans have
time and again refused to arbitrate on
the Schomburgk line. and. 1t is believed.
they win now be more positive than ever
in their refusal. II lord Salisbury Is
willing to abandon that line, and to sub
nit all, or practically all, of the disputed
territory to arbitration, no doubt exists
that Venezuela will be found tractable.
But Venezuela will not enter into any
convention, even for this purpose, with
out first ascertaining If its terms are sat
isfactory to the United States.
Sensational articles recently published,
to the effect that the British war prepa-
rations now going on are not really re-
signed for the threatened struggle with
Germany. but as an offensive measure
against Venezuela and the United States.
are laughed at in diplomatic and naval
circles.

be deemed an abandonment Of any rights
or position heretofore assumed. II has

OF the commission may not be said to be
ex parte; that the truth may appear. ana
that time may be saved IN the inquiry
with which the commission ls charged.
The invitation goes In the shane OF a
letter to Secretary olney. who has made
a response. saying that he has trans
mittcd copy Of the commissions views
TO the two governments concerned. Each
has been allowed a particular line OF in
