coNrIM THE NEWS FROM CUBA.
Young EpgIishmen Tell of the Cap
ture OF SANTA CInrn.


City of Mexico. Jan. 2.-Various travel
ers just arrived from Cuba confirm the
capture of Santa Clara by the Cubans
and also bring news that the insurgents
have been fighting in the vicinity of Ha-
vana and few days ago wrecked a pas
scnger train within two miles of that city.
Two young Englishmen direct from Cuba
Henry e. York and Leo Harvey--have
reached this city after having passed sew
eral weeks in Cuba with the insurgent
army part of the time and the remainder
Ia the field with the Spanish troops. Har-
vey received a shot through the left arm.
They are preparing a report for Senator
Cameron, which will be forwarded to
Washington in few days. The Cubans
are not in want of men. but money, am
munition and medicine. There are not
over $4,000 Cubans, while the Spaniards
and volunteers number 2S5, 900 men, mostly
very young and not good fighting ma
terial. All operations are in the nature of
guerilla warfare and both sides are sys
tematically burning plantations, and the
country will be reduced to barbarism. The
Cubans are relying on being favored by
Mckinley, and expect, Immediately on his
Inauguration, he will recognize their bel
liBeroncy, III not tnelr Independence
EARTHQUAKES I'm Mexico.
Harvey gives a graphic account of the
capture of Santa Clara by the insurgents
where the utmost gallantry was dis
played, and the Spanish we're overcome by
the magnificent valor of the patriots. Har-
vey says 1t was told him in the Cuban
camp that Maceo had his lower jaw snot
away, but was alive and recuperating.
General Gomez is not treating for peace,
and, although there is a peace party
among the Cubans, 1t Is a small one.
The capture of the town of Agutec by
| the Cubans was a brilliant piece of work.
Three thousand Spanards held the place,
but the Cubans shoged better general
ship.
Capture of santa CInra.
At Santa Clara the Cubans took and
| held the town just long enough to ruin It,
| Harvey does not consider there Is any de-
cided prospect of victory for either side.
Earthquakes continue In the state oi
Oaxaca and that city has been shaken
severely by the shocks. Scientists believe
a volcano is forming among the hills, anc
the continued seismic disturbances have
| excited alarm in several districts while
| on the Pacific coast the ocean Is In con
| tinual commotion caused by submarine
explosions sending huge waves on th'
shore and terrifying fishermen, who still
| boldly venture out.

URGES THE CAUSE OF BIMETALLIsM.
Mussaehusetts Democrats Write to
Senators of the Bay State.

Mussachusetts Democrats Write to
Senators of the Bay State.
Boston, Jan. N.-The secretary of the
Massachusetts Democratic Club. In &C
cordance with a vote of the club, has
transmitted a resolution to Senators
Hoar and Lodge, requesting them to do
all in their power to forward the cause
of bimetallism. Accompanying the reso-
luton Is letter to each of the Massa-
chusetts senators. That to Senator Hoar
says, In part:
"In performance of my duty to
transmit you these resolutions. can not
forbear to say that in my opinion. in view
of the prevalence in Massachusetts of the
mistaken notion that 1t is wise to rely
upon the single gold standard alone, 1t
affords great satisfaction to bimetallists
who differ from you In party politics to
know that Massachusetts Is represented
in part by a gentleman who fully appre-
ciates the great advantage 1t would be
to American commerce and American
industry to again restore silver to Its
appropriate place in the money system
the nation"

BANQUET TO THE PRINTERS FRIEND
London Society of ComposItors VIII
Honor Michael Austin.

London, Jan. A-lt is not very many years
ago that Michael Austin working at the
printers case. From setting type he went into
newspaper work and rose step by step until, In
the last administration OF Mr.. Gladstone. he
was elected member OF parliament for Limerick
on the nationalist-abor ticket So good rec
ord did he make during his first term that at
the last general election, which resulted in
the return of the Salisbury government to
power no opponent could be found to make a
race against him. and he was consequently re-
turned to the house by acclamation. Since he
has sat in Westminster he has warmly Inter-
ested himself in all legislation directly or-indi-
rectly affecting working printers, and the ex-
ecutve committee Of the London Society OF
Compositors. the largest. and most influential
combination OF the craft In England. has de-
cided to tender banquet In recognition Of his

JAMESON RAIDERS SERIOUSLY ILL.
WfIloughby and White Are Wasting
AxYny in HOLLOWAY Prison.

NWHy III fiOIIOWHy IrIsOHs
London, Jan. 24.-It is reported that the
government has instructed two eminent
members of the medical profession to ex
anime and report upon the physical con-
dition of Sir John Willoughby and Major
Robert White, the remaining two of the
Jameson batch of raiders who are still
confined in Holloway prison, having yet
several months of their entences to serve.
Each prisoner has lost in the neighbor-
hood of 40 pounds, while Major White is
suffering from nervous exhaustion, in
somnia and general weakness, aggravated
by close confinement. If the report of the
special commission bears out the report
of the prison physicians, 1t is probable
that the two officers will be released at an
early date.

FOR SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

The Democratic candidate for the
School Committee. to be voted for at
the election to take place one week
from tomorrow, is o candidate worthy
CT the united support of the Democrats
of the city. In this event there is not
the least doubt but what he will be
chosen to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Henry Barker. The
voters OF the city, without regard to
party, wish to have the best possible
management OF the public school sys-
tenn. We do not favor n partisan adj
ministration OF school affairs and be-
lieve that il would be to the best in
terests of oil tho people of the city to
unite without regard to party afllllia-
tions upon Mr.. Littlefeld's candidacy.
It is the quintessence OF brazen ef-
frontery to advocate the election Of
members only on the ground of their
politics and in order that the School
Board may be power towards more
perfect and compact local political or
ganization." The fact should be re-
cognized that such communal interests
should have no place in the School
Committee.
Mr.. Littlsfeld is eminently fitted to
discharge the duties which devolve
upon member of the School Commit
tee. 1t ought not TO be urged on the
citizens their duty to support him ut
the polls one week from tomorrow.
The election Of Mr.. LittleHeld is de-
sirous for many reasons and there can
! be no doubt but what he Is the man

Our Democratic neighbors in Central
Fails have formed combination with
the Citizens Party with the result that
there is every reason to believe that
they will elect their candidates at the
polls one week from tomosrov. The
voters of the fifth city outside of the
ring wish to have the whoe majority
sentiment represented in the next Gen.

work their ticket will be chosen despite
the Doodle and promises of the disrep-

HELPS TRUSTS AND MONOpOL les.

The proposed (Dingley) tariff appears
to be especially designed to help trusts

lars from the pockets OF the people for
every one that it turns into our Ma

even greater benefits upon privileged
industries than did the Mckinley bill

are higher, and partly because the
same duties are more prohibitive, now

TOUR ABOUT TOWN

One Of the most amusing remarks ]
think ever made was overheard by me
last evening at the Opera House. On
nv left sat venerable Irish couple OF
the old school, who enjoyed the pro
gress OF the play immensely. In tn.
prologue the star Of the performance
Is betrayed by the villain, and the
couple on my left we've evidently
strongly impressed with the idea.
When the curtain went up on the spe-
cialty act OF singing comedian IN a
short dress the old lady said in an au-
dible whisper, "1here's her daughter" "

toes. river excursions, baseball and
other things are approaching. Each

weather. From indications this sum-
mer will he one made attractive by
many amusement features. The parks
will soon be clothed in green, the sum
mer hotel keeper will assume his most
iDsiuuating smile, aud the river pilot
will brush up his brass buttons, and
before you realize it summer will be in
full swing. es
