full than ever. There never were but
5000 rebels in Pinar del Rio province.
They are still there. General Weyler,
at the head of $4,000 Spanish troops,
did not conquer them. All reports
from Spanish towns or forts are utterly
untrustworthy. The situation here
looks better for the insurgents than
when I left Pinar del Rio last August.
Even the Spaniards admit that none OF
the insurgents have surrendered.

Sherman's Name Again Con-
nected With a Cabinet
Position.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 7.-Senator Will.
lam B. Allison has for the third time
declined the prefer Of an Ohio born
president to accept position in his
cabinet. This is the position that
President.elect Mckinley finds himself
in as the result of his visit to Canton
and his inference with Senator Ali.
son. The interview with Major Nc.
Kinley lasted from 10 80 until i 10,
when the gentlemen sat down to lunch
together.
Senator Allison expressed his fullest
sympathy with good wishes for the in.
coming administration and expressed
his desire to do all he could
To Promote Its Welfare.
He was decisive in the statement,
however, that he could not, with
the new senatorial term beginning
with the administration, give up
his place in the senate for an ad.
ministrative Office. In explaining his
regret at not being able to accept a
a cabinet portfolio, Senator Allison
gave the president.elect the heartiest
assurances of his cooperation in the>
senate, where he said he felt that he
could be of far more benefit both to
Major Mckinley and the Republican
party than by taking up the intricate
and difficult task which must fall upon
the shoulders of a cabinet officer. The
decision of Senator Allison to remain
Outside Of the New Administrator
is undoubtedly much of q disappoint-
ment to Major Mckinley. His refusal
opens up anew the entire cabinet stu
alton and all the old problems and
complications in which the Ohio situa-
ton is most prominent are now opened
afresh. 1t is said that. the last thing
Ma or Mckinley did before leaving
Canton was to wire a request to Sena-
tor Sherman to- come to Ohio for con-
sultation.
The rumor to the effect that Corne.
Illus N. Bliss had been offered and had
accepted the portfolio of the navy de-
partment gained strength when the
