CINCINNATI, Ohio. February 20-.A spe-

According to couriers at hand here CO.
mez is preparing for active work. 1t Is
known that he has transferred the officers
of the government who were with him
past the eastern trocha into Maguey for
safety. making the seat of government far
from Weyler's headquarters. The trocha
was passed near La Redona without hin
drance, save a running fight for an hour
or so with small bands of Spanish guer-
rilas.
Gen. Gomez has over 5000 good soldiers
now, and he has notified President Cisnercs
that he intends to push the Spanish general
little. 1t is known that Gomez has placed

ana capturing one piece of artillery and
forty men. including four officers The
hght was a fierce one, the insurgents being
wen ehtiehched IN the sWampS of Mont
Saria where Spanish troops had to enter
almost In single file. The insurgents waited
until the Spanish troops had entered the
trap. and then they fired from all sides
being so we'll concealed that the Spanish
could not reply with effect. Seeing his men
thus slaughtered the Spanish officer gave
the command to retreat, but many were
shot down. Spanish official reports state
that it was one of the worst fights for some
time. with the greatest loss to the Span
iards, considering the number of men en-
gagged and that Weyler was terribly en-
ragged on hearing of it.

naturalized American citizen, who was
found dead in his cell i'll the Guanabacoa

assaults by his guards. Consul General
Lee vigorously protested several days ago
about RuiZ's arrest, but The department
has heard nothing from him since then on

of no two men are exactly alike. The
appearance of the prisoner may have
been so changed that Identification by
sight would be impossible, but the sys-
TEN of measurements has never been
known to fail.
When the chief of the new central
bureau has been appointed and its
headquarters established the first step
to be taken will be the compilation Of
the measurements of the dangerous
criminals at large. most of whom are
likely TO have been measured at one
time or another. AS others are taken
their dimensions will be forwarded TO
the central bureau, to be filed for future
reference. Another great and neces-
sary work will be the securing Of uni
formity In making descriptions. To ac-
complish this frequent conferences of
the heads of the different Identification
bureaus or visits to other bureaus will
be necessary. For many of the men in

The attacks upon the morality of
Monte Carlo are made by its rivals for
popular favor. if we may believe Henry
Laboucherc. The English radical says:
EVERY year the number Of visitors to
Monte Carlo increases and every year
more desperate efforts are made by its
rivals along the Riviera to prejudice the
place with the British public. That
Monte Carlo is n paradise in a moral
sense am not going to suggest. Every
man of the world knows that, like other
places entirely devoted to luxury and
pleasure, society there is not exactly
an assembly of saints. But that Monte
Carlo is any worse than other pleasure
resorts Of a similar character l en-
phatically deny. AS to the results of
the gambling everyone who has been
behind the scenes knows that infinitely
more mischief is done in the gambling
hells of Nice every season than at the
tables of Monte Carlo. and I doubt
whether even Nice. which is in many
respects sink of iniquity, is any worse
than Ostend has been during the last
few seasons"

penologists of

pleteness of his system and the facility
with which he handles it are astonish-
ing. Between $4,000 and 10000 meas
urements are on file. AT the time of my
visit, prisoner had just been meas
ured. He stoutly denied having ever
been there before. He wore a heavy
brown beard Taking his measure
ments, Mr.. McClaughry ran quickly
through his files. inside of minute,
he produced the photograph of Prince
Bismarck" a noted criminal. The face
in the picture wore only mustache,
but its identity with the man before
us was unmistakable. and the prisoner
was forced TO acknowledge his own por-
trait This is only an example of what
can be done with the system in vogue
in Chicago, and the one that will be
adopted for the central bureau. With
telegraphic list ot measurements of
a prisoner arrested in New York. New
Orleans or San Francisco, Mr. Nc
Claughry is able TO go through his files,
and from the thousands there de-
termine whether the suspected man is
wanted by the officers OF justice Of some
other city.
This process of running down de-
scriptfon is interesting from its GER
tainty of results. The descriptive cards
are filed in cases, like the card catalogue
of library, according TO the principal
measurements. With the height as the
first point. the cards of all criminals of
the given height will be examined. One
by one the items which do not corre-
spond will be rejected till set of
measurements is reached which tallies
in every particular, when the informa-
tion will go over the wires that the pris-
oner under arrest is So ard So. who is
wanted at such ard such place for a
certain crime. It remains onlythen for
the officers where the man is wanted TO
be notified and the necessary forms Of
extradition to be complied with.
The question will arise whether II is

will be positive. But experience has

THE GREAT C. e. CONVENTION.

Mr.. Roe gave very interesting talk
last evening about the c. E, Convention
in San Francisco. He said that very
soon after leaving Chicago they began
to realize that they were in the cur
rent. At Kansas City and st. Louis
there were such crowds waiting that
tbev were delayed several hours. From
there on, even in the arid plains Of
Nevada where it seemed nothing good
could be, crowds of Christian Endeav-
orers met the trains and gave them
rousing welcome AT Colorado Springs
stop of half day was made. AT
Salt Lake City they paused oyer Sun
day The Mormons met and welcomed
them, and a mass meeting was held In
the Mormon Temple, which holds
about 5000 people, addressed by DIR.
Pentecost When they arrived in San
Francisco the crowds that met them
were a sight to behold, but everything
for their comfort was very completely
arranged. The Pacific r. r. performed
a great feat in landing $4,000 people in
three days on single track road with
out accident. Two immense halls,
holding IS, 900 together, and numb Der
of meetings in churches were always
held simultaneously. Three services
day were held in these halls. Father
Endeavor Clark, as he is called, is
very bright and pleasing speaker, with
q voice always heard AS he opened
the first meeting he held up worn
shoemaker's hammer, which he told
them once belonged to Wm. Cary, the
first missionary to India. Father
Clark, Secretary Baer, Treasurer Shaw
and Amos Wells, the editor Of the
Golden Rule, were called the Big
Four. At one meeting for men only,
addressed by Evangelist Chapman,
those present were surprised to see Is
or 30 policemen march up front, who
proved to be a glee club composed Of
christian policemen, who sung several
sweet songs. This is an age OF conven-
tions. Many people object TO this one,
saying so much money is spent, and
not much practical work can be done.
But, on the other nand, vacation and
a great deal of pleasure is given to
thousands of people. Such trip
across the continent aud especially
over the Sierra Nevada mountains is of
great educational value and must wild
en- the mental horizon of all who went.
Though we know there are many
christian people in the world, one can
realize it much more to see so many
thousands together. The effect on the
wealthy wicked city of San Francisco
was great. The East and the West
looked into each others eyes and knew
each other better, and found they were
much alike. No one could be de-
pressed in the midst of so much enthus-
iasm and happiness. The inspiration
and spiritual influence was wonderful.
Receptions were given in which re-
freshmeuts were served, and the En-
deavorers given al the natural and
candied fruits they could carry away.
Saturday afternoon was given 10 sight
seeing under the direction of the local
members. After the convention was
pronounced closed down on every
streetcould be heard the Endeavorers
singing until lost in the dim distance.
Altogether the delightful memories
would last lifetime.
