sherman. New views on cuba.

PITTsBURG, Jan. 16.-The Cuban policy
# the Mckinley administration may diff
or very little from that which has been
aid down by President Cleveland and Sec
ctary Olney. Senator sherman, who pass
d through here last night and who said
hat he had accepted the offer of the port
olio of state in the Mckinley cabinet, was
Interviewed by IA correspondent. He said;
Il think the United States government
hould not interfere with the Cuban war,
ither to aid in it's settlement or do any
hing which would make peaceful gov
rnment of the island a charge on this
ountry. / understand, on high authority,
hat Prime Minister Canovas has outlined
programme Of governmental reforms
which will be applied both in Spain am
o Cuba. These reforms will give the c
nns practical autonomy and will, no
ettle the question.

rhose PromIsed Reforms.

LONDON, Jan. 16.-The Standard Mad
rid correspondent, with reference to the
coming decree for Cuban reforms, which,
he says, the queen regent has completely
approved, telegraphs as follows:
" II Is evident that the government wish
es to indicate that it has acted spontane-
ously, even going beyond the powers al
ready voted by the cortes, which will have
TO grant bill of indemnity for the new de-
rree. The reforms will show how far Spain
Is prepared to go in decentralization with
out surrendering any rights or preroga-
tives of the home government and of the
cOrtes, in which both Cuba and Puerto
Rico will have due representation. twill
also be seen that in the reform of the tariff
Spain is disposed to sacrifices compatible
with the needs Of the Cuban budget. More
can hardly be expected from a Conserva-
tive cabinet, and Spaniards will anxiously
watch the effect Of this change Of policy
In the new world. "
The Standard says Of this dispatch in
IN editorial;
1.-The plan owes its origin to Senior Ca
novas, and it is a foregone conclusion that
the council Of state viii approve the re-
forms. 1t is Spain's only safe policy. She
lncurs grave risk Of a rupture with the
United States by continuing the war She
Is right in refusing to quit her hold Of Gu
ba. If the insurgents are discontented
with the concessions, Spain is justified in
4 severe use of the sword.
Senior Canovas has taken a courageous
line in Drawing storm OF popular passion.
We hope there is enough common sense
md loyalty in the country TO support him.
The time could not have been more wisely
chosen, because there Is no appearance of
FIELDING to American dictation. "

Women Strike and Quickly win.

JERSEY CITY; Jan. 16-One hundred
women employed in the winding depart
ment of Schwartzenbach, Huber & Co. s
silk factory in West Hoboken struck for an
increase in their wages. Several months
ago wages were reduced on account of the
general business depression, and the en-
ployees were told that at the beginning of
the year the reduction would be restored.
1t was not forthcoming, and the women,
after holding a nesting, unanimously de
clared that they would not return 10 work
until they got their old wages. Superin-
tendent Ruegg, who was i'll, was inform
ed of the strike and hurried 10 the factory
He endeayored 10 concliatc the strikers
but they were firm. The superintendent
then communicated with the firm and was
told to inform the strikers that their de-
mand would be complied with. This end

EXPEDITION OF ROLOFF
The Cuban Secretary of Wars
Extensive Enterprise.
NIPPED BY SPANISH DETECTIVES.

Nearly Ready to Sail When Consul Cen
eral BaIdasano Caused the Leaders Ar
rest-Large Purchases of Arms Had
Boon Made-More Promises OF Reform.
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-General Carlos
ROloff. secretary of war for the insurgent
Cuban provisional government, has just
completed the organization OF one of the
largest military expeditions ever prepared
In this country for the aid of the Cuban
revolutionists. The disclosure Of Roloif
plars led to his arrest again.
Senor Baldasano the Spanish consul gem
eral in this city, was notified week ago
that Roloff was organizing his expedition.
Great efforts were made to secure some evi-
dence that would prove that Rolo1 intend
ed to leave the country, but such evidence
could not be procured 1t was learned that
the Cubans had purchased larger guam
tlty OF arms and munitions of war within
the last three weeks than ever before in
the history of Cuban warfare, but nothing
further could be discovered by the Spanish
officials concerning this war material ex-
cept that it was intended for the insurgent
army.
Roloff was under 81, 500 bail to appear
for trial on charge of participation in
the Laurada fllibustering expedition. He
had furnished 81, 500 in cash, which tho
government held. The case against Roloff,
however, would not be tried until the
middle Of March.
As the contemplated expedition was to
sail from this country in about ten days,
Consul General Baldaseno procured war
rant for the arrest of Roloff in the case Of
the Woodhall, which sailed on a filibuster-
ing expedition from the United States in
June, 1895.
Watched by Spanish Detectives.
The insurgent leader, when arraigncd,
was held in 81, 500 additional bail. He has
deposited a cash amount to satisfy this
new bail demand, and now the Spanish
officials have ordered detectives to watch
every movement he makes, as they say he
will possibly forfeit the So 900 now in the
hands of the government and steal out Of
the country with the expedition.
The tilibusters are said to be now ready
to sail at a moments notice The Cubans
purchased for the expedition 1000. 900
cartridges. 3, 600 mauser rifles, four rapid
fire guns, 1900 gun cartridges and a large
quantity of dynamite and hospital stores
and camp material.
This entire expedition was organized in
this city in a cigar factory in tine lower
part of the city. A son Of Jose Marti, who
was killed at the beginning of the revolu-
ton, in 1895, joined the expedition as an
aid TO General Roloff.
The Spanish authorities. aided by the
United States marshals and private detect
ives, are watching Roloff and all suspect
ed of having joined his party.

Clay Pigeon Contest.

very interesting and close contest
took place Sunday afternoon between
members of the Centralia and Grand
Rapids clubs in which the Centralia
boys were victorious on a score of 149 to
14l. Had the editor done his usual
shooting and not fallen down all over
himself the Grand Rapids boys would
have won. On the face of things it
would look as if we had sold out, but
we did our best and cannot account for
the poor score We made. We made the
poorest score on the grounds, yet we
were not the only one that did poor
shooting. In one sense We are glad the
Centralia boys defeated our boys for we
already bad two victories over them to
our credit. This defeat will add re-
newed efforts among our club members
and perhaps the next shoot will result
differently. The following is the score:

Send in the News.

An exchange very truly says that it
is impossible for newspapers to publish
all the items of local interest that trans
pire in a community, unless Its readers
take pains to send in news. Be they
ever so enterprising and busy, repo1
ters cannot go everywhere, and see and
hear everything for themselves. Here
is what our exchange has to say about
it:
Don't forget the editor when you
have news item. If your wife whips
you let US know of it and we will set
you right before the public. If you
have company tell us-if you are not
ashamed of your visitors. If a young
ster arrives at your house and demands
food and raiment buy a quarters worth
of cigars and come around, and if you
are cash subscriber we will furnish a
name for him or her, as circumstances
warrant. If you have social gather
ingof few friends bring around a big

morrow morning on their trip down the

below the Plover Paper Co.'s dam, and
do not expect to take it out but once
until they reach their destination. A
portage will have to be made from
Grand Rapids to Nekoosa but they eX-
pect to get an expert to take the boat
over the Kilbourn dam. They anticl-
pate that the journey will occupy about
two weeks.-Stevens Point Journal.

Chicken Shooting.

Lovers of chicken shooting enjoy this
sport probably more than any other,
and usually there is a great temptation
on the part of some to be first upon the
ground, 10 obtain the bost shooting.
The open season commences with the
1st of September and that date is not
far off, yet we hear reports that some
hunters are already shooting Chickens
Now this is in direct violation of the
law and a menace of the worst kind TO
the hunters who believe in living up to
the law strictly. A club WAS organized
this spring for the purpose Of prose-
cutting any person caught violating the
law in regards to game and fish. Re-
wards are offered for evidence sufficient
to convict anyone Of the violation of the
law and if caught will be severely aapun-
ished. Certain parties are suspicioned
and men have been engaged to watch
them the balance of this month, and
without doubt someone will be arrested
soon if they don't remain at home until
the open season.
The state game warden has been mott
fed Of the reported violations, and we
hope to have him here this week to give
this matter his personal attention. The
guilty parties may not know of his
presence here until some one is in the
meshes of the law to the tune of $25 or
$50. Hunters will therefore take due
notice before it's too late

Condition of Trade.

Compelled in fidelity to discourage
confidence in the ill-grounded gains
during the fall Of 1894, the summer of
1895, and last winter, Dun's Review is
cratifed to find substantial basis for the
Improvement which has been recorded
since early this wear. The pessimists
who pronounced reports of gain fictl-
tious and misrepresentlng have grown
weary of their disnals, and begin to see
the dawn of better days. Last month
was the first for four years in which the
volume of business reported by clearing
houses was larger than in the same
month of 1892, and the Geographic dis
patches from all parts of the country
given this week show a gratifying i'm
2rovement. This is partly due to large
Weld of wheat and good prices, though
the crop as probably not as large nor are
prices thus far as high as in 1892, but Of
cotton the price is higher, and the yield
probably larger than in that year.
Other farm products are realizing good
prices, and the possible decrease In
weld of corn may help to market the
enormous surplus brought over from
last year. Liquidation Of powerful
combination in wheat brought a re-
action of 8 cents on Thursday, but a
gain of J. cents occurred the day fol-
lowing.
