MARCHING on TO HAVANA.
People becoming Alarmed at the situs-
tion-1he InsuyKent Forces LA,isE In
Waste the Country as They Proceed.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Press this
morning claims To have received news
through private channels that Cen
ersl Maxine Gomez stormed and
captured the important city Of Santa
Clara on January 3, and is now NOV
ing on 10 Havana with 5000 men.
The famous cavalry leader Quintin
Banderas, was mortaliy wounded the
Press says and General Luque, COM
handing the spanish was also wound
ed. The news received last night said
that the losses were Spanish, estimat-
ed killed and wounded 900; prisoners
700; cannon captured Is: battle stand
ards 4; rifles in the Spanish arsenal
5000 with plenty OF ammunition.
Cubans killed and wounded 800,
which is coo more than the Spanish
loss. The Press quotes Carlos Rolofi
as saying the report is creditable. The
Junta has no news.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Jan. l4-Spec-
lal to the Citizen from Tampa, says
a well informed gentleman who was
passenger on the OlIyette from Cuba
to- nil ht, brings some important news
from the island, which Is given gre at
creuence here because the man who
brought it comes from portion OF The
island where he could see and know
what was going on. He says that
General Gomez Is undoubtedly march
ing on Havana, slowly, bur surely. and
that his advance guard as IL proceeds
is laying in waste the country. In
| less than week it has destroyed by
| fire twenty-one OF the most valuable
| estates in the province of Matanzas
| and the work of destruction continue:
as the army marches along. The peO
pie of Havana are at last becoming
thoroughly alarmed at the situation
and all who possibly can haze already
| left the place, and those who have beer
detained are making preparations Il
| leave with all possible haste.
This man says that people in tina
city have apparently lost all onfidenc,
in General Weyler's ability to hands
the insurgents, and they now actual,
fear for the safety of Havana, notwith
| standing the strong fort, and the mum
Der of soldiers there.
This same man also brings the in
| telligence that last week Que of thu
most fatal battles Of the war wa
fought in the province OF Pinar De
Rio, and that the Spanish troops lief
800 dead men on the field. The iDsur
gents were under command of Riu
Rivera. He says that the news of thi
battle has been carefully concealed
and but few people in Havana know
the true situation, As il was feare'
that the details of such a defeat woul'
still more terrify the people who ar
left in the city.

SOME NOT PLEASED.
PART OF SENATOR'S DISSATISFIED
WITH ORGANIZATION PLANS.
They Think the Republicans should
lie Given Control of the I'm

Washington, March l0.-Tbe republican
caucus committee OF the senate held only
a brief session today and adjourned until
| tomorrow to allow the collection OF certain
| information as 10 the places to be filled
| and to permit consultation with other re-
publican senators. There is dissatisfaction
with the prospects OF continuing the pref
ent division OF the parties In The commit :
tees on the part Of some OF the senators.
who in convention today manifested din-
position to hold out for a more definite al
rangement. Those who represent THIS Gle
nient contend that II The republican party
is to be required TO continue the RESPONSE
billy of the organization. tEat 1t Is only
fair that they snouli be given control OF
the more important committees and they
instance the committees on finance and up
preparations. AS the committees now stand
they are silver committees. Elk out OF Inc
members of each being either democrats or
silver republicans. Inc silver republicans
hold the balance of power In both commit
tees. The more conservative republicans
hold, however, that It lis impracricable TO
secure any better arrangement than that
outlined In these dispatches yesterday.
They are as yet undecided between the pol
icy OF filling republican vacancies with re
publcans and democratic vacancies with
democrats, or allowing all the vacancies 10
remain until the December session. Either
of the courses proposed lok to continu-
aucn Of the present status. 1t Is c0ntcnded
by those who advocate the postponenlent
OF all action that such course would keep

that any assignments are Liable to be tern

Element OF the difficulties In Kentucky AMI
Oregon
The republican leaders are disposed to be
especially conciiiatory In view OF the work
before them OF getting the tariff bill
through the senate They feel confident
that the present committee assignments
will not interfere with Il en- In any respect
In this matter. Indeed. 1t is intimatcd
that 1t is a part OF the understanding that
they shall not. Senator jones. the silver
republican member of the committee OF
finance, Is an advocate OF protective tariff.
and while he would vote against his re-
publican colleagues on tho committee on
any question affecting the finances, the re-
publicans feel that they can count upon his
support In committee OF reasonable tariff
bin. This would be sufficient TO secure the
reporting OF the bill. With tariff bill
once out OF the committee ond In the senate
it, will OF course. have 10 take It's chances.
The general disposition appears, however.
to be to allow the republicans to pass
about such bill as they wish. The oppo-
sition Will reserve TO make speeches and
offer amendments. but In all probability
they Will allow IL to become a law.

A RETALIATORY DUTY.
WORK on THE SUGAR SCHEDVu,
FINISHED ny THE COMMITTEE.
Additional Duty Levied on Surnr
From Countries which Pay Ex-
port Dounties-WOol Schedule.

Washington. March 10.--The republican
members of the ways and means committee
today finished their work on the sugar
schedule, and took up the wooden SEIZED
ule. On the latter they came to no definite
decision. but the points in the sugar sched-
ule which. nd been reserved until today,
were deeided
The differential was fixed at eighth
OF a cent a pound on sugar above 16 Dutch
standard. This was thought 10 be a suifi
cient allowance to cover the difference be-
tween the cost OF refining in the United
States and other countries where sugar is
free
What amounts to retaliatory duty
against bounty paying countries was agreed
on. II is in the form Of an additional duty
TO be levied on sugar imported from those
countries which pay bouaties, equivalent 20
the net amount of the bounties; that is the
amount II the bounty less than internal
taxes levi d on the sugar in the country
whence II comes. This provision leaves
the executive. OF course, to Xix the tarins
on sugar from bounty paying countrl -
and to decide what tho net amounts OF the
bounties paid by foreign governments are.
Under 1t the duties on imported sugars VIII
he raised or lowered as the bounties paid
BY other governments are changed. It's ad-
ministraton may be difficult at times on
account of disputes which have arisen IN
the past, and may come up IN the lulure as
to what constitutes bounty with the var
ious forms of taxes, rebates and bounties
imposed on sugar.
The wool schedule promises to De the
most difficult which the committee has TO
fix, on account OF the conflict OF interests
between the growers and manufacturers
