AMBUSH
CubanS Win a Notable Victory Over
Their Spanish EnemieS--A Messen'
ger Going to the Junta.

TAMPA. Fla. February 1O.-Two cour-
iers from Riveras army passed through
here to-day en- route for New York. They
brought news of great Importance to the
New York Junta. The couriers while un-
willing to be quoted. had told a Cuban here
of a victory near Mar.el last week. Cap
tain Blanta, OF Rivera's body guard, was
out scouting with gCo men when he was
ambushel by 5Oo Spanish under Col Pero'
stationed at Marlel Captain Blanta was
wounded at the first fire and two Of his Of
ficers were killed The neighing Of
horse gave warning to the Cu5ans. though
a moment later they would have been III
the tolls. a. Il was. the Spaniards dashed
after the Cubans. who rereated when
they saw the superior force Of the enemy.
Blanta cunuingly led the troops wild
chase. showing themselves just oii'~
enough TO keep the Spaniards in hot pur-
suit. All at once over 500 insurgents arose
by the roadside as the Spauiards came
along and delivered a deadly volley at
short range. The retreatlng Cubans then
turned and furlously assaulted the head or
the column The Cuban ambuscade was
well planned and the Spaniards fell into
it very carelessiy. At the first fire whole
platoons fell and several officers were
killed. They fed at once. casting aside
their arms and equipments. The Spanish
officers vainly attempted 10 rally them but
It was OF no use. The rout was utter. The
Cubans pursued them 20 near Mariel. The
Cubans lost So men. while some % dead
Spaniards wee counted or the field and
over 40 wounded. The rifles. ammunition,
etc. captured were welcome addition to
the Cubans.
There are over 1000 sick and wounded
troops in the hospitals, with scant accom-
Ilodations.

CHICAGO. February l0-The annual
meeting o, the stockholders and directors
of the Illinois Steel co. was held to-day be-
hind closed doors. Reporters were rigor-
ously excluded and all requests for infor-
nation elected but one reply. that ahso-

kinds of rumors were afoat including one
to the effect that three OF the directors
had rendered their resignadons, and
another that the annual statement
would show a deficit Of some $780,
900. Both Of these were denied. Another
rumor had il that the collapse OF the steel
rail pool was deliberately play

IAN GIVES UP.
-. .lat he Cannot Secure the Passage
N(aP of the Nicaragua Canal Bill.

ASHINGTON, February Ex-senator
organ. the champion Of the Nicaragua
Canal bill. announced in the Senate to-
day in his abandonment of that measure
for the present session of Congress and
thereupon it was displaced by the Bank
ruptcy bill. The Senator made TINS move
after a protracted contest. covering sew
eral weeks which had disclosed the 1act
that obstructive opposition could not be
overcome. He gave notice that he would
renew his advocacy of the bill at an early
day of the coming eXera session. Mr..
Morgan bitterly criticised British oppo-
sition to the canal and addressing HIM
self directly to Mr.. Sherman. declared that
if the next Secretary of State permitted
himself to be fed on the fattery of Great
Britain. the people would not support him.
Mr. Morgan asserted also that Mr. Sher-
man would not succeed in negotiating a
treaty relative to the canal as the genius
Of Talleyrand or Metternich could not
stand against the "thimble rigging OF
those republics. The Bankruptcy bill
succeeded to the advantageous position
of unfinished business" but the debate
went over until tomorrow. The agricu!-
tural appropriation bin was taken up late
in the day and passed at $S.255,Joo. It lea
to "a lively debate in which Secretary Nor
ton was sharply criticised by Senator's
Vest. Chandler. Tillman and others.
The Senate devoted the time prior to
counting the electoral vote TO discus
SION of Mr.. Tillman's bill to give each
State absolute control of the liquor traf-
fic so that it may exercise police control
Of foreign made as well as home made
liquors.
Messrs. Mills and Vest opposed the bill
as interfering with interstate commerce.

CUBAN BONDS ISSUED
And Sold TO the Amount OF Fifteen Million
nnlmrs in u g United states.

Dollars in 81 United States.
CHICAGO. February 10.-The Journal
states that Cuban bonds to the extent or
over sl5.0UO0yO have been secretly issued
and disposed Of in the United States and
elsewhere during the past twelve months.
The greatest precauuon has been exer-
cised by the jauuta I'm the handling or
these securities for the reason that until
very recently II has been a question
whether the issuing Of bonds OF the repub-
lie of Cuba was u violation OF interna-
tional law.
The conclusion having. however, been
arrived AT. that the course which has
been pursued is lawful th ,'act OF the
bond issue is now made public. and the
securities will be placed on open sale in
au the principal cities OF the United States
and Europe.
These bonds are payable In gold ten
years after the evacuation Of the island
by the Spanish .orces.
The price has been mostly a sentimen-
tai one. Some Of the bonds have sold as
high as II.
The asking price is 50.
Besides the bonds. large number OF
concessions have been sold. All these
concessions as veil as the bonds. depend
for their value solely upon the indcpend-
ence Of Cuba.
The sale Of bonds f. IS claimed. bear.
out the jaunta's constant assertion that
no overtures looking toward peace. except
on basis OF absolute independence of the
island. viii be entertained.

publican tariff makers spent another
day considering the schedule of manu-
factures of iron and steel Nails and
cutlery were the divisions of the sched-
ule which engaged their attention, but
no definite rates upon these articles
were fixed. The committee decided
tentatively to put the duty on nails at
about one-fourth of the Mckinley rates,
and to make it specific.
No definite duties on cutlery were
discussed, but it was decided to make
reclassificatiOn of that division of the
schedule and fix specie rates, which
will be materially higher than the pres
ent ad valorem duties on cutlery.
