In 1890, Mr.. Chambers was candi-

court The wisest actions offend some
one, and the slightest approach to an
even unimportant error raises a storm
of criticism. Taxeaters, on the one
hand, and the taxpayers, on the other,
are ever ready with complaints. The
fact that Mr.. Chambers is serving his
second term shows that the voters are
entirely satisfied with his share in the
management of the affairs of the county

that he believes firmly that all the sane

monwealth will follow suit.
THE SPANISH PRESS
MADRID, Dec. 8.-The Premier Sa-
gasta in an interview regarding McKin-
ley's message is quoted as saying h.
thinks the threat to intervene in Cuba
was merely to give satisfaction to a
portion of American opinion without the
intention of executing 1t.
The impartial. commenting on the
message, says:
1t shows certain cleverness and evil
intention when 1t refers to f1libustering
expeditions. Mckinley speaks with what
appears to be excessive enthusiasm to
those who have a loose notion of it. II
ADVISES the government to show the
Yankees that the Spanish flag floats over
Cuba. The Impartial further remarks
'The manufacture and sale Of arms is
not the same thing as using them"
Ell Liberal, also commenting on the
presidents message. says: 1T is more
favorable to Spain than President
Cleveland's, because it recognizes
Spain's intention to enthusiastically Ia
Dor to re-estabush peace in Cuba"
The Ministerial Ell Globo praises Pres
ident McKinley's message; the Socialist
Republican Ell Pals asserts that the mes
sage Is shameful" as 1t implies the
moral bankruptcy Of the monarchy"
The Republican Progresso takes the
ground that the message is a great
humiliation.

Demands Conceded but the Trouble
Not Ended
Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK. Dec. S.-A special from
Port-au-Prince, Hayti. says: The situ-
alton has become most critical. The
people are excited by the governments
weakness in yielding to the demands
of Germany, and are on the verge OF
revolution. Above all, the Haytiens are
disappointed at the lack Of interest
shown by the United States and Ameri-
can influence suffers greatly thereby.
An overthrow of the government was
attempted last night. The mob was
promptly met by troops and sharp
fusillade Of shots was exchanged. No
one was hurt, however, and the mob was
dispersed.
Another outbreak Is expected tonight.
All Of the national guard is under arms
and every street is carefully patrolled.
The editor of Impartial was arrested
this morning on charge of melting the
people to rebellion. He was at once
taken aboard a Haytien war vessel,
where he Is still confined. A demon
stration in his behalf was made by his
followers, but the troops quickly re-
stored order. All foreigners in the city
are uneasy.

AN INSURGENT DEFEAT.
HAVANA, Dec. 8.-The Spanish mill
tary officials here announced today that
the columns Of troops belonging to the
military district of sancti spiritus, Prov
ince of Santa Clara, acting in conjunc-
ton. have been engaged at the Deliciasa.
with the insurgent forces under General
Maximo Gomez. The government troops,

ent camp and quantity of arms, am
munition and the medicine chest. The
insurgents. 1t appears, left twenty five
men killed on the field. The troops lost
five soldiers killed and had twenty-three
wounded
MESSAGE COMMENT
New YORK, Dec. 8.-A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says: The first
news received in Madrid concerning
President McKinley's message came in
a telegram from the State Department
to Mr. Woodford, who Immediately sent
1t to the Minister for the Colonies, Senior
Moret.
Minister Moret was at a BANQUET
which his friends had offered him as
compliment for his colonial policy. He
translated the telegram aloud and all
present expressed much satisfaction at
the Presidents declarations touching
Spain and Cuba.
The frendliness Of the message sur
passed the most sanguine expectations
OF the friends Of the government. There
Is loud praise for President Mckinley
IN official and political circles for hav-
ing, they say, thus cleared the way for
a fair trial Of the new colonial policy in
the West Indies, which will naturally
require time.
Meanwhile the Liberal government con
unhesitatingly dissolve the old Cortes.
in February and convoke new Parlia-
ment on March 8.
The Spanish Liberals are particularly
pleased with the Presidents arguments
against recognition Of the belligerency
of the Cubans and the implicit repudia-
tion of any intention looking to an
nexation of the island or extreme inter-
ference with the rights of Spain in Cuba.
They are equally delighted with that
part Of the message recognizing how
quickly and completely they have re-
versed the Canovas- Weyler policy and
the sincerity Of their own home rule
measures.
Outside Of official circles satisfaction
Is very visible in financial circles and
also of the general public.
Among statesmen the most pleased ia
