UP THE VALLEY.
Democratic Situation Up the
Blackstone Valley.
A Number of Available Democrats
in Cumberland For Ticket.
Prospect For Success In Lincoln Not VERY
Prospect For Success In Lincoln Not VERY
Encouraging This Year-Locals.

The political situation up the valley Is
not causing much excitement, but by the
end of the week matters may assume a
different aspect. In Cumberland the
Democrats have an excellent opportunity
to carry the Legislative ticket, provided
they put up strong ticket. The Republi
cans, in all probability, will nominate the
same ticket az last year. The DemocI ats
have some splendid material to choose
from, and IL good judgment prevails their
chances for success is quite promising
In Lincoln there is not much chance OF
Democratic success. The town throws a
large Republican majority, and there Is L o
apparent reason why their majority will
not be as large this year as formerly. 1t
Is said that there will be slight change
in the makeup of the Republican ticket
this year. Mr.. Vose is casting longing
eyes upon the Manville postmastership
which becomes vacant this year, and for
that reason will decline the use of his
name for the legislative ticket. John
Johnson is mentioned as Mr.. Vose's sue
cessor.
The Democrats have little hope of elect
ing their candidates, and for that reason
there are not many candidates struggling
for places on the ticket. In fact those
persons who allow the use of their names
will do so because some names must ap-
pear upon the ticket at all costs.
Notes From Up The Valley.

NO INDICTMENT FOUND.

Case Of Thor"as Ready Against Onicer
Sylvestre Thrown Out.
1t is rumored about town that the case
of Thomas Ready against Officer Sylvestre
of the police force for an alleged assault
has been thrown out by the grand jury.
This Is the outcome of the case which was
heard in the Sixth District Court at Provi-
dence. This action on the part of the
grand jury, II true, is sensible, because it
will in measure put a stop to the COM
bined assaults upon the Mayor and the
police force by the ring and its allies.
Peace and Happiness Once More.
Saturdays TRIBUNE gave an account of
the sudden disappearance of Mrs. Ed
ward Burke and the household furniture,
and the causes which led up to the separa-
tion of the newly married couple. Mrs.
Burke re-appeared at her home yesterday
as suddenly as she had left, and brought
everything back with her, even to her
husbands stockings and collar buttons,
which she had taken when she departed,
and she had informed Burke that she had
come to stay and he could not help him
self. Burke did not seem to know whether
he could or not and SO asked the police
about 1t. He was told that the best thing
he could do was to make up with his wife
and commence life over again, and try to
make it happy one.
A Row ON the Bowery.
James Hickey Is a well known character

Hickey, Mrs. Mathewson's son and large

MADRID, Dec. 3O.-General Weyler,
in his memorial to the Queen Regent on
the subject of President McKinley's
message to Congress, says he is hon
ored by the attacks made upon him
and that his conduct as Governor-G Gen
eral and that of a soldier was animat-
ed by honor and patriotism. Such at
tacks, therefore, General Weyler adds,
viii do him no harm, as they are aim
ed at him, he asserts, simply because
he has done his duty. Nevertheless,
since the message contained insulting
observations on the Spanish troops in
Cuba" he believed it to be his duty to
address a protest to the crown. He
claims that the concentrates were the
prime abettOrs of the rebellion.
The protest Of the general is couched
in courteous language.

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-This was the
busiest day Dickerson NJ Carman has
seen since his arrival in Chicago from
California. A capias was issued by
the Superior Court for his arrest in
connection with the case begun by
Willis H. Binns, charging that he was
defrauded by Carman in 1898 to the ex-
tent of $1100, paid for California land.
which Carman did not have power to
sell.
Justice Martin was besieged with ap-
plications for warrants during the
morning. but became tired and sent
part of the applicants to other justices.
William BOvenzer of 1906 Elmwood
place claims to have been defrauded
out of $1,000, and Louis Adams says he
gave up $4O0. These cases were set for
January 8.

day to the effect that reports that
Commander BoothTucker speaks un-

ness are untrue. In her statement Mrs
Booth-Tucker says: "I am amazed and

that Commander Booth-Tucker speaks

part of your informant and | point to
our written statements, both to the

Booths condition very serious. that
she is confined to her bed, not allowed

At the hospital to-day it was stated
that Mrs. Booth had not been out of
her bedroom once since she was ad
mitted to the hospital, but as she was
a private patient any further discus
sion of her case would not be enter
tained by the hospital authorities. A

In the Event OF an Uprising
General Regalado Will Be
the Prime Mover.
CARLOS EZETA NOT IN 1T.
But Lieutenants of the Ex-PresiC- mt
Promise to Make a Fight
Against Gutierrez.
Copyright. 1897. by James Gordon Bennett

PANAMA, Dec. 3O-Advices from
San Salvador, Salvador, have for some
time reflected a critical condition of
public opinion, but there has been no
indication that it was so serious as to
make necessary the presence of n
United States warship at La Libertad
The discomfort in Salvador has been
steadily spreading since President
Gutierrez sent a special envoy to
Guatemala to make an apology for the
invasion of Guatemala by Jose Leon
Castillo and his followers during the
recent revolution.
In the event of an uprising in Sal
vador the prime mover will probably
be General Tomas Regalado, who bit
terly opposes the rule of President
Gutierrez, and who is regarded as
candidate for the Presidency next
term. General Regalado was dismissed
from the army of Salvador for aiding
General Castillo to cross the frontier
into Guatemala and capture Chiqui-
mula.
Another cause for discomfort is that.
owing to the depleted condition of the
treasury, the President has been COM
PEELED to suspend many sinecure offices
and place certain officials on half pay.
These have become enemies of the Gov
ernment and Joined the opposition.
A revolution will now mean the ruin
of Salvador's hope of securing loan of
e50,000 in gold to establish the gold
standard, as such a change could not
be made if there should be an uprising
1t is not likely that the former
President, Carlos Ezeta, is taking part
in the agitation against the Govern
ment. He is considered politically
dead. General Regalado was one of
his principal commanders in former
rebellions.

every reason to believe the Russians
will adhere to their pledge to evacuate
at the end of the winter, and there is
therefore no ground for complaint on
the part of England. Neither does the
Government regard the occupation of
Kiaochau as calling for action, be-
cause British interests are not threat
ened. According to the Graphic, both
the Foreign Office and the Admiralty

will be required in the case Of war to
complete the manning of the warships
of Great Britain, which are understood
to require a complement of 10000 men,
whereas only 100000 are actually in
service. The naval reserve problem
has long been discussed by British au-
thorities, and the general opinion ap-
pears to be that the number of men
available is far short of the number
that would be required in case of war.
In addition to the men in the naval
reserve Great Britain has large re-
serve fleet and a number Of reserve
merchant cruisers, including such ves-
sells as the Campania, Lucania, Etru-
ria, Umbria. Majestic and Teutonic.

their truth. 1t would be necessary
that the transports should be immedi-
ately sent to Halifax from England
with troops. If any great force is to
be sent before the transports could
reach here the river ST. Lawrence
would be frozen. This would necessi-

Sir Henry Havelock-Allan is the

Indian mutiny.
He is the first Baronet, though the
baronetcy was conferred on his father,
who died before receiving it. He
served in the Persian expedition, 1856
