factured articles has been introduced, and
will be followed BY others providing that

A PIE-COUNTER POINTER.
President Cleveland Will Leave Many
Fat Jobs Open for Mckinley.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Democratic con-
gressmen are made to realize every day
that the tenure of the present administra-
tion is rapidly diminishing. They find
their requests for political favors closely
questioned, and frequently denied on the
ground that the present administration
does not care to embarrass the incoming
administration. The president does not
wish to fill all the offices with Democrats
on the eve of Republican administra-
tion, and there seems to be general un-
derstanding that no new appointments
shall be made except in extreme cases.
The Republican place hunters are rel oic-
ing, especially as the senate is now hold
ing up about $50 presidential postmasters
awaiting confirmation.

aUNBoAT SUNK.
New York, Jan. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says: When the
Spanish gunboat Relampago struck the
torpedo which sunk her, off Mango, there
was no time to lower boat and almost
before the extent of the disaster could be
realized the vessel went down. Those on
board who were not jured jumped into
the water and made their way as best they
could in the direction of the Centinela,
aboard which the greatest excitement
prevailed.
When the Centinela's boats attem pied
to rescue the men struggling in the water,
the rebels fred upon them, but the Span.
iards persisted in their work until all had
been taken from the water. Nearly every
survivor of the Relampago's crew was
wounded and only few of the men be-
longing to the Centinels had not been hit
by the rebel bullets. The commander OF
the Centinela was so seriously wounded
that doubts are entertained as to his re-
covery. The Centinela returned to Ma.
milo, where the news of the disaster caused
intense excitement. The official report
shows that the commander, second en-
oineer, and three sailors of the Relam-
pago we're killed and the boatswain,
quart. rmaster, chief engineer, pilot and
four sailors wounded. The boatswain OF
the Centinela was killed and her pilot,
second engineer, gunner and six sailors
wounded. Both gunboats we're small
vessel intended for river service and did
not carry large crews.
