Carlensa to prevent the landing of fill
clustering expeditions. For some time
the boat has been accustomed to anchor
at night off Sierra Morena The place
where the gunboat anchored was favor
able for an attack from shore. The
insurgents opened on the vessel with
a twelve-pound Hotchkiss gun. The
vessel was struck several times,
and badly damaged by shells
from the Hotchkiss gun, and while the
crew was in confusion, boats loaded
with insurgents left the shore and the
Cometa was boarded. A desperate
hand-to-hand fight took place on the
deck of the gunboat. The Spanish COM
mander and half his men having been
killed, the survivors surrendered The
insurgents sent the prisoners ashore
and then looted the vessel, securing a
great quantity of ammunition, many
cutlasses and pistols, and few rifles.
Two quick-firing cannon were also re.
moved. The insurgents then fired the
boat, which was soon burned to the
waters edge.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The cold

the temperature has fallen from 20 to
40 degs. in the past 24 hours 1t is

tral Texas it is below zero in Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri and 70
degs below zero over the Dakotas and
Minnesota. Light local SHOWS are re-
ported from New England to Tennessee
and Northern Texas. The weather is
generally fair in the Northwest and
the South Atlantic states. The indica-
tions are that the cold wave will ex-
tend eastward and southwark over the
Gulf and Atlantic coasts. The temper
ature will fall to near zero from Vir-
ginia northward and freezing weather

LONDON, Jan. 25.-The latest news

months. The preliminaries are being
expedited, and when Sir Redvers Bull
Ter, V. G., the adjutant general of the
forces (for,it is no longer doubted that
Butler will supercede Sir Herbert
Kitchener at the head of the 10000
British troops who are going to stiffen

starts for Khartoum, he will probably
find but little to impede rapid ad.
vance on this side of Berber. There is
no reason why Kitchener should be
superseded, except on account of his
youth. Sir Herbert Kitchener was
born in 1850 and Sir Redvers Butler
was born in 1889. But it is felt that a
veteran is needed at the head of the ex-
pedition, which is to make the import.
ant advance about to be undertaken.
1t is understood, however that Sir Her.
bert Kitchener will be given the com.
mand of the army of occupation.

GAGE WILL ACCEPT,
Chicago Man Likely to Re Secretary o,
the Treasury.


CHICAGO, Jan. 20 Lyman J. Gage
will accept the treasury portfolio.
After much consideration and reported
consultations with the directors of the
First National bank, Mr.. Gage decided
absolutely upon the course he would
pursue.
1t was well known that Mr.. Gage
had been cons idering acceptance.
President-elect Mckinley had sent
Charles +. Dawes of Evanston on q
mission to the Chicago banker. This
mission was to ask Mr.. Gage if he
would accept the portfolio should it be
rendered him. Mr.. Gage considered it
long and earnestly. He formulated the
following reply to Mr.. Dawes:
SIN view of statements and queries
now current In the public press, relat.
ing to my name in connection with the
secretaryship of the treasury, deem it
proper to say:
"First-That / have not been ten
dered the appointment to that posi-.
ton.
"Second Should that Office be ten
dered to me should not feel at liberty
to decline it.
"Third-If Mr.. Mckinley is consid.
ering my name in connection with the
treasury portfolio, but shall finally de-
termine ON some other man, shall
feel no sense of disappointment or
chagrin, but should congratulate my
self that personal sacrifice in MANY di-
rections is not required of me-"
