THE CIGAR MANUFACTURER.
His Greatest Trouble Il to Find New

part of the country. Every fancy name
that could possibly be appropriate has
been thought of and used. Every noun in
the Spanish language, l guess, proper and
common, is in use. Spanish words, you
know, are great favortes with domestic
cigar manufacturers. Every ship in the
United States navy has its special brand
OF cheap cigars. There are cigars
named after all the stars and con-
stellations, and most of the famous natural
course, the name of cigar must be some
thing that can be illustrated. i don't sup

fshed by Boston Endeav0rers.

BOSTON, Jan. 3O.-Consderable sup
pressed excitement was noted in Chris
tan Endeavor circles to-day as the result
OF the news that Bishop Arnett, OF Ohio.
who Is here to attend the Christian En-
deavor day rally. had been refused admit
lance to three of Boston's leading hotels
on account Of his color. and vigorous de-
nunciation OF the management of the hotels
in question was heard on every hand. Bish-
op Arnctt was beSieged by callers and, al
though he deploreS the stir that has been
made about the matter, those with whom
he Is associated did not hesitate to
press TO him their Indignation at the humil
iation to which he had been subjected.
Among the visitors was Mr.. Chibald NJ.
Howe, president of the Middlesex Unitarian
against the injustices reported to have
been done to Bishop Arnett. There was es-
pecial sgnifcance in Mr.. Howe's visit, as
in the habit OF meeting at one of the no.
tells at which Bishop Arnett was refused
entertainment last night. Mr. Howe an
nounced his intention of thoroughly inves-
ligating the circumstances, and states that
developments will influence the club in de-
Gliding where It's next meeting shall be
held.
The Great Christian Endeavor rally of
this AFTERNOON and evening revived re-
membrance Of the worlds convention of
1896. The enthusiasm was of the same kind
and speakers seemed imbued with that in
spiration which was a marked feature of
the convention. The u-ily reference made TO
the alleged dicrimina ton against Bishop
Arnett was by Rev. Dr. F. E Clark, the
presiding officer, who said: There has
never been any color line drawn in the
Christian Endeavor. This hall is pretty
well filled, but 1t is not too full for Bishop
Arnett; Some of our homes are pretty
well filled, but there is not one of these
homes that is too full to welcome Bishop
Arnett."
Bishop Arnett who was the principal
speaker. said, among other things: II an

ence, wrapped in the Constitution of my

General Marin Takes the Field
Against Cuban Insurgents.

HAVANA, Jan. 30.-General Marin the
captain general pro tenn. with the head
quarters staff, has left for the field in
order to take charge OF the operations
against the insurgents. Gen. Suarez VAL
dos has been appointed acting captain gen.
eral in the absence of General Marin.
Reports in circulation here are to the
effect that Antonio Maceo is in sore straits
his following being scarce of both am
munition and provisions, and being obliged
to slaughter their own horses to eat These
reports are not to be traced to any very
authoritative source, and are in part based
on surmise. There is no doubt that Gomez
is making strenuous efforts to open a way
through the military along the railroad
from Havana at Batabano, and II is said
that Maceo has sent several emissarles to
Gomez appealing urgently to him for sue
cor. In response to this appeal Gomez has
succeeded in passing the military line, but
the authorities claim that he has not been
able TO keep any line of retreat open for
himself. Be that as ii may, he is making
progress westward, either with .the pur-
pose of Joining Maceo or OF creating a di-
version in the north and drawing off the
forces in pursuit of Maceo while that lead
er works his way eastward in the south
The latter is regarded as the more probable
course by observers here, as Gomez has
been reported as passing Banes and as
having proceeded toward Cabanas along
the northern coast. The Spanish author
titles are claiming that If Gomez has in
reality set out for the west, and is not
merely planning countermarch back
toward Havana province. his position will
soon be badly compromised. But these
claims have been made before and the
fact remains that Gomez is apparently in
a way 10 succeed i'm his immediate purpose

NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 3o.-The Repub-

Henry Denlas and j. VI. Vance will be the
Mckinley delegates, and Albert Leonard

Wimberly and Richard Sims have an easy
fight in the Second district. and 1s, both are
ten of the sixteen delegates to be elected
who will be for Mckinley. A fight was
made in the convention on T. A. Cage, who
is candidate for reelection as chairman
OF the State central committee, and who is
a Mckinley man. The excitement rose TO
such height that chairs were overturned,
Chairman Giuchard thrust from his place
on the platform, delegates knocked down
and trampled under foot and the utmost
confusion reigned. The fight against Cage
was not successful.
About midnight the convention settled
down to work and the first important move
was accomplished The fusion ticket put
up by the sugar planters was Endorsed,
making three conventions which have de-
clared in its favor. The nomination of
presidential delegates was taken up. KEEL

to elect him by reclamation but this failed

TO FORECLosE A MORTGAGE.
Suit Against Chicago's Lake-Stree
Elevated Railway.


CHICAGO, Jan. 3O.-The Farmers Loan
and Trust Company. of New York, has filed
bill in the United States Circuit Court
here to foreclose a mortgage for S.775.Oo0
on the Lake-street elevated road. The fore
closure Is the elimination of long and
bitter fight between William Zeigler on
one hand and the Yerkes interests on the
other. Zeigler was first taken into the
Yerkes scheme of control and was, after
its contamination, thrown overheard. The
charge is made that the company has leased
a portion of its line to the Union Loop
Company and that the Northwestern ele-
waited and the West Chicago Street-railway
Company pretend to have some claim on
the property Of the Lake-street l. and they
are made parties defendant, as is the
American Trust and Savings Bank, which
holds two-thirds OF the interest coupons Of
Jan. /, 1895.
In opposition to the proceedings in the
federal court a temporary injunction was
issued by Judge Bretano in the State courts,
against Zeigler to prevent him from de-
handing foreclosure by the trust COM
pany. 1t was stated that Attorney general
Moloney is preparing to begin suit against
the Farmers Loan and Trust Company to
enjoin 1t from doing business in this State.
The ground which the Attorney-gene-al will
urge Will be that the company has not COM
piled with the law and has never been
licensed in Illinois.

EXPRESS CAR ROBBED.
Looted by Thieves While Attached to
West shore Train.

TROY, y. ", Jan. 30.-What was prob
ably an extensive express car robbery on
the West Shore road has been discovered in
this city. There were two express cars on
the train. one for this city and the other
for Boston. Both had been sealed at Wee
nawken, but between that place and this
city the Boston car had been entered and
robbed OF everything valuable. There was
evidence that more than one man had been
engaged in the job. The car was resealed
here and sent 10 Boston on the Fitchburg
train, due at Boston this morning. Ii IS
impossible TO ascertain what was taken
because the way bills are sent direct from
New York TO Boston. and will have to be
checked off at the latter city. Ii is be-
lieved here that the robbers had confSdCr-
ates at several small stations along the
West Shore road where the train stopped.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Representative
Money. of Mississippi. the Senator-elect
from that State, has recently received adj
vices from Cuba which are Of considerable
interest. According to the statements OF
Mr.. Moneys informant the devastation OF
that island has been carried to such an
extent that poverty. famine and wide
spread suffering will surely prevail in the
near future unless by some means the hos
tilities are brought to close The writer
says that the crops OF this season have
been practically destroyed throughout
most of the island. the cane mills stopped,
bridges burned, roads torn up and bust
ness almost entirely killed for the time In
the province OF Santa Clara, where 225,0O0
sacks of sugar were ground last year, no
wheels have been turning this season, for
to start mill is to give a signal for the
insurgents TO blow Ii up. The inevitable
result of the continuance of the war, says
the writer, will be famine throughout
the farming districts Of Cuba. The United
States. being the nearest powerful neigh
Dor of the island, and having always re-
sponded to calls from suffering countries,
will naturally be looked to to furnish as
sistance and relief.
Mr. Money is a member of the House
committee on foreign affairs, and has
taken pains to secure the most reliable In
formation from responsible parties In
Cuba. The tenor of his correspondence Is
that Spain will never be able TO conquer
the revolutionists. and that the continu-
ance of the war will involve more loss OF
life and the impoverishment of both Spain
and Cuba. A recent letter says that the
rainy season will begin in about three
months and that the poorly fed and un-
acclimated youths who compose most of
the Spanish regiments may be expected to
die like sheep. The Spanish troops will be
unable to pursue any military operations
then, for there are few roads. and the for
ests and even the cane fields are i'm
passable to people unused to the country.
The letter says that many Spanish resi-
port the instruction. The Spaniards de-
sire some form of autonomy. and the Gu
bans want absolute independence or an
nexation to the United States. Most of the
holders of large properties are said to
favor annexation because they believe tnat
greater protection to property would be
secured under the control of the United
States than under a native republic.
