FULL EXTENT OF OPERATIONS OF
INSURGENTS JUST COMING TO
LIGHT.
HEAPS OF SMOKING ASHES
THRIVING, POPULOUS SETTLE
MENTS.
WITHOUT CLOTHES OR FOOD
Hundreds of DesOIate Families
Wait HelplessIy for Outside
Assistance.

HAVANA, March 5.-The reopening
of telegraphic communication with the
region of Pinar del Rio brings the first
detailed information of affairs in that
province for several weeks.
The condition of affairs disclosed is
little less than appalling. The rich
Vuelto Abajo tobacco district seems to
have been put to the torch, and is
apparently reduced to a bowling and
desolate wilderness. Whole towns have
been obliterated and reduced to a heap
OF ashes, and their inhabitants are
wandering helpless over the face of
the country, without place to lay
their heads. or wherewithal to be
clothed, and many of them starving.
The villages and towns of Cabanas,
Bahia Hondo, San Diego de Nunez.
Santa Cruz de Los Pinos, Los Palacios.
Plso Real de San Diego and San Diego
de Los Banos are known to be reduced
TO ashes, and reports of others will
prlng the number destroyed up to thir-
teen. All of these were important and
thriving centers of population and busi-
ness.
The last town which has succumbed
TO the insurgents torch is San Juan de
Martinez. The tobacco from this town
is famous the world over for it's match
less flavor It's cultivation brought
great wealth to the people of the dis
tr1ct, and gave material for a large
commerce in the town and support TO
over 1000 families. When the first col
ulm or Spanish troops arrived on the
site of the town they found
ONLY SMOKING ASHES
and debris, and all around a seemingly
limitless sea Of fire. A hundred des-
olate families had taken refuge in poor
huts outside of what was once the
town, and were waiting helplesslv for
any assistance that would save them
from starvation. They were without
clothes and without food. and saw no
prospect ahead in their despair of Sc
curing either. San Juan dc Martinez
is erased from the map. The adjoin-
ing town of San Luis escaped the same
fate almost by miracle. The inhab-
ltants had already fed outside, seeking
refuge from the flames which the
torch was ready to apply.
A committee representing the cham
Der OF commerce and the Spanish Cast
no called upon Capt Gen. Weyler to-
day. and assured him of their patriotic
adhesion to him in his policy.
In consequence of the distribution of
a circular containing Gen. Weyler's
proclamation requiring the concentra-
ton of all country people within the
limits of the towns for protection.
there have been many delegations of
farmers coming to Santiago de Cuba
to inquire of the military authorities
how far the requirements apply to
them, and for an Interpretation of its
provisions. The consuls of foreign gov
ernments are seeking the same infor-
nation.
The Spanish bark Gran Canaria. of
300 tons, has been lost off Cayo Con-
tites, north of Romano. 1t is believed
that all of the crew were saved. Ad-
miral Gardvvo will leave here tomor-
row on board the cruiser Herman Cor
tes for the north coast Of Pinar del
Rio. Gems. Bernal and Vicuna have
arrived here for a conference with
Capt. Gen. Weyler.

DEMOCRARCY OF THE FATHERS.
Judge Willis Addresses the Demo-
cratic Club


The Democracy of the Fathers" was the
s9oJecI 81 .; upon which Judge John w. Willis.
OF st. Paul, addressed the Democratic cluh NJ
thls city, at their quarters, in the New York
Lie building, last evening" The audience
was small, but considerable enthusiasm on
tne part OF those present made up for lack
OF numbers. William Baldwin, president of
the club, was in the chair
Judge Wills began his address by defining
the constitution as 1.-The power of attorney
from the states to the central government
auhorizing that government to transact cor
tain business for them He then launched
forth upon discussion of the principles
advocated by Jefferson and his immediate fol-
lowers. The object of the democracy of the
fathers,' said the speaker "was to make and
preserve an equality among men. Had their
descendants acted in accordance with their
ideas we should not today be laborng with
puzzling social questions. The granting of
special privileges was the beginning of de-
parture from the old regime. For the pur-
pose of enriching a class, protective tariff
was employed, corporations were given fran
chises. The fight carried on by Jackson
against the old United States bank NAV be
regarded as the close of the period of the
fathers The granting of special privileges
TO any class of citizens is a step taken in the
direction of the downfall of the government
Better all be poor and free than have a
wealthy class and many be enslaved. We
should lay aside the policy of making q few
rich and try to make all free If necessary
to take control of the highways; if necessary
to pass legislation to make the rich disgorge
portion of their ill-gotten gains, we should
not shirk the responsibility. We must not
listen to the cry for special privilege but re-
turn to rest upon the leveling principles of
the fathers, the equality of all. One great
quality needed in public men today is public
virtue. Not the sort that talks of the prin-
ciples of the fathers and then bows down to
the behests of Wall street." In conclusion.
Judge Willis paid high tribute to the public
life and character of Grover Cleveland, speak
ing of him as worthy descendant of the
fathers.
P. B. Winston was then called upon for re-
marks, and rose to extend an invitation to
the club to participate in Jefferson birthday
banquet to be given at the Nicollet on the
evening of the 18th. He excused himself
from delivering address.

committee in charge of the arrangement of the
reunion Of United Confederate Veterans re-
fused to adopt letter to the camps, written
by Gen. Peyton Wise, chairman of the COM
mittee, because it denounced Gen. Walker
commander-in-chief of the G. A. R. Gen.
Wises reference to Gen. Walker was sug-
gested by the action Of the latter in regard
to the proposed parade by the blue and the
gray in New York. In his letter Gen. Wise
said Walker was not a patriot and deserved
the censure and condemnation of all good peo-
pie. The subject brought on excited de-
bate and stormy scene resulted. Gen. Wise
declared that unless his letter was approved
he would throw up his position and let some
else look after the reunion. The letter

ORIGINAL GUARANTY GOES.
Verdict In n Famous SawmiII Site
Suit,


Special to the Globe
LITTLE FALLS, Mimi. March 5.-Today in
the district court the suit of N. p. Clarke
VS.. seventeen of the most prominent citizens
OF this city was begun. The case is familiar
10 every one in this community. When the
FINE Tree company proposed to build mill
mere, n; p Clarke wanted $40, 900 for his mill
site, and the lumber company would give only
$25, 600 for the property. Citizens agreed to
raise the $4,000 difference by subscription A
list was started and the necessary amount
was nearly pledged. A second list was pre-
pared and about twenty-seven citizens signed
declaring that the $4,000 would be raised
Clarke's attorney then drew up another guar
antee or joint note, which he pretixed to
the others. This note was signed by about
twelve or the wealthiest business men of the
city, but 1t was supposed that the twenty
seven who signed the other list would sign
this before 1t should be given to N. P Clarke
In some manner Clarke got hold of the note
with the signatures Of the twelve men and
asks that they pay it, while they insist on
having the twenty-seven pay it, Nearly all
OF the twelve have paid their amount but the
rest have refused to do so. The jury brought
in verdict for the defendants.

They Meet at the NicOIIet to Discuss
Protection of Dogs.

mass meeting in the interests of the
Minnesota Society for the Protection of Dogs
was held last evening at the Nicollet house.
The chief object of the meeting was to sound
the sentiment among Minneapolis dog own
ers regarding the need of such a society,
and the enrolment of number of additional
members was sufficient indication of its popu-
larity. The primary object of the society is
to protect dogs from theft and to run the
dog thief to cover. In the informal discus
sion at the meeting many valuable sugges-
tions along the lines in which the society is
working were brought out. The state of
fers bounty of something like 5000 for every
horse thief who is brought to justice, and
as one OF the members expressed 1t last
evening, now that blooded dog has come to
be worth more than the average horse, it is
high time that the state offered bountes for
the arrest and conviction of dog thiefs. The
meeting adjourned to meet two weeks from
last night at the board of trade rooms.
