TO BESIEGE HAVANA.
Report That Gomez Will Encom-
pass the City Within Sixty Days.
Prominent Cubaa Resident of Fey West,
who Is Fully Informed Regarding the
Plans of the Cuban Patriots, Talks
of the Campaign.

A New York Herald special from Key
West, Fla, says: A prominent Cuban
resident of this city said the other day
that the city of Havana would be be-
sieged by Maxine Gomez within the
next 60 days. To that end, he said,
Gomez and all the rebel forces were
now marching toward the capital.
This Cuban is in direct communion
ton with the insyrgent leaders in the
field and is the local medium through
whom all insurgent correspondence for
the New York junta passes. He also
stated that there was no confirmation
of rumor circulated by Cuban pas
sengers who recently arrived in New
York that the towns in the immediate
outskirts of the city of Havana had
been already besieged by the insur-
gents.
\ While the Havana papers continue
to maintain silence in regard to Maceo's
movements since his brilliant attack on
Artimisa, few days ago, it is still in
sisted by active partisans here in direct
communication with the leaders in
Cuba that he unquestionably crossed
the military trocha at that point during
the bombardment of the town and with
small following has since marched
through the entire province of Havana,
and is now at Colon, central point in
Matanzas province. 1t is also alleged
that his mission there is to concentrate
and assume command of the forces of
Ricardo, Trujillo, Rojas and othermin
rebel leaders who have been operating
in that vicinity with between 1000 and
5000 well armed men. Notwithstand-
ing the persistency of this report, other
Cubans in New York equally well in
formed express doubt that Maceo has
left the province of Pinar del Rio, which
movements, they say would imply defeat
by the superior forces sent against
him by Capt. Gen. Weyler. The
explanation, however, is offered that
no abandonment of territory has
been made rs Gen. Ruiz Rivera, a veter-
an of the last war, has been left in COM
mand of the insurgent forces in Pinar
del Rio, while Maceo has gone eastward,
in obedience to orders from his superb
ors, to operate with Maxine Gomez in
the latter's new campaign of invasion.
Gomez has not been heard of since his
attack upon the town of Cascorro, and
the subsequent engagement at Des-
mayo plantation, where he defeated
Gen. Jiminez Castellano. The ominous
silence of Gomez is said to presage the
planning of a series of important at
tacks on the principal cities within
Havana and Matanzas provinces, his re-
cent apparent inactivity having been
caused only by a desire to awaitthe ar
rival of all the ewreinforcementsfro from
Spain and their distribution through
out the island. Now that they are gar
risoned his projected campaign of in
vasion will be inaugurated at once, 1t
is confidently reported. .~,s-..-,.-

Delicate Prints on Iron.

1t is a curious fact that has often
been proven by actual experiment, that
delicate fern or other leaf may be
placed between two smooth blocks of
iron and have plain impression of
every rib and fiber of itself left on the
hard surface of the iron plates after
they have been driven suddenly to-
gether by the explosion of stick of
dynamite. Another experiment in this
line and one equally curious is made
with smooth block of iron or steel and
a cake of compressed gunpowder. A
delicate piece of lace is placed on the
metal surface and the disk of powder
Is laid on top of the fabric. When the
powder is detoned the lace will be ut
terly annihilated, but its impression

IMMIGRANT PROBLEM SETTLED.
Perplexiug Question Solved at q Confer
ence of Rail Lines.

The immigrant traffic problem,
which has been perplexfng the eastern
and western lines for many years, has
been brought to a successful solution
as result of the two days conference
that has just come TO close in New
York city between representatives of
the transatlantic steamship compa-
mics and the trunk and western lines.
The conclusion reached is that the mid
die men, or agents, who have grown
rich in the booking of Immigrants,
must go, and hereafter the railroad
companies, both east and west, will
cooperate with the steamship compa-
MES in the handling of the business.
The trunk lines have been dealing with
the first ward agents for years and
have been paying them a commission
on the business turned over to them.
While not very considerable, this
branch of passenger traffic has been
used to even up shortages in percen-
tages on west-bound first-class pas
sengers. The western lines have man.
aged to secure immigrant business by
means of the first ward agents, who
for long time have controlled the BUSH
ness by means of European agents.

1t is claimed by DR.. Flowers friends
that he can diagnose any disease of any
person without asking the patient n oues-
ton, and that he is the only living physi-
clan who can scientifically do so without
making q mistake.
The Boston Globe says, "In the treat
ment of cancer, consumption, tumor,
heart and nerve troubles, DR.. r. C.
Flower has no equal in the world.n The
Boston Traveller says: ''There is no expe-
riment in DR.. r. G. Flowers practice.
Able as he is to tell any one his disease,
without asking question, he is not
likely to doctor his patients for the wrong
disease" The New York Tribune saws:
DR.. II. G. Flower, Of Boston, is the high
est authority OH chronic disease and en-
Joys the largest practice of any living
physician"
Our readers will see that this visit of
DIR. II. c. Flower to the South will enable
the sick to consult him close to their
homes.
