HnVe 10 Keep the Rubi Hills
Strongly Fortified.

Havana, Jan. IA reporter OF the
Diario De La Marina has had an inter-
view With General Weyler in the Mata
Ioro Camp. Speaking of the situation
IN the Province OF Pinar Del Rio, Gene
raj Weyler said that speaking from the
standpoint OF strength and Importance,
.he inSurrection in that province had
been crushed. The few insurgents re-
manning were obliged TO hide like wolves
IN their caves. Fevers and smallpox
had thinned the rebel ranks. His own
column and those of the other Spanish
commanders had overrun the base and
interior of the hills and had met no
rebels.
THE REBELS LACK 4 LEADER.
The insurgents after the death of
Maceo were without leader. Ribera,
Maceos successor, was unpopular
among his men.
General Weyler added that his state
mcnts would be confirmed after Gene
rails MelGui2o and Arolas had compler ed
'heir operations. which included the
sweeping of the province from west TO
east. Generals Hernandez, Obregan,
Bernal. Riuz. Fuentes and Sergura were
now I'm the centre OF the hills. Perhaps
General Arolas was also there. Once
the Rubi hills were fortified n severe
blow might be directed against the re-
bells under Ducassis.
General Weyler said in conclusion,
that he would allow no houses TO be
built on the outskirts of the towns. as
were they constructed they would serve
mostly as refugees for bandits.
THIS NEEDS EXPLANATION.
An odd feature of the above inter-
view Is that General Weyler while stat
ing that Pinar Del Rio is practically free
of Insurgents. finds it necessary to have
the Rubi hills fortified before he will
attempt to strike a blow at the rebels
under DucaSSiS.

In an historical article recalling
the destruction of our National cap
ital by the British forces in 1914,
Clifford Howell in the July Ladies'
Home Journal will show that Dolly
Madison, the most beloved and pop
ular woman of her day, was coura-
geous and fearless in the face of
grave danger. In the mad stam-
pede from Washington, that pre-
coded the invasion by the British
troops, Dolly Madison was the last
to seek safety in flight, and her final
act before quitting the White House,
as the enemy advanced, was to seize
the Declaration of Independence
and carry it with her to a place Of
safety. As the White House was
Immediately afterward looted and
burned by the British, Mr.. Howard
declares that but for brave Dolly
Madison the priceless parchment
would have been destroyed.

The New York World gives a
list of American millionaires who
hired balconies and houses in
London to witness the procession
at Victoria's Jubilee. Among them
were the Vanderbilts, the Astors, the
Goulds, the Goelets, the Carnegies,
the Belmonts, the Colgates, of soap
fame, and ex-Vice President Morton.
The aggregate wealth of those peo-
pie amounts to nearly 500. OOO, 900.
They had planned for a series
of brilliant entertainments which
would cost from $4,000 to $780, 900
each, and it is estimated that they
will spend many millions during
their stay in London. These are
the people who want money that
Europe is grasping for and who
vote against an American financial
system that is not approved by the
money kings of Europe.

HooRAY FOR HANNA.
The Republican Boss Reduces Wages
to the Lowest Point

A special to the Denver News
from Pittsburg, Pa, June 18, says !:
The miners employed in the Ma
now mine. owned by q company in
which Senator Mark Hanna is the
head, have been notified of a further
reduction in wages, and there is
great fear that the change will cause
riots, az the workmen are very
angry because Of the order.
Superintendent Case, who is rec
ognized as Senator Hanna's right
hand man, notified the miners yes
terday that he had been ordered to
bring the scale down from 60 to 81
cents ton, the lowest rate of wages
ever paid in the great Pittsburg dis
trict. Reports from the mine state
that the workmen declined to enter
the shafts to-day and declared they
would not accept the wages offered.
The crowds that gathered about the
mine became so demonstrative that
Superintendent Case is reported to
have telegraphed Governor Hast
ings and requested him to call out
the militia.
John Kane, National Vice Presi.
dent of the United Nine Workers, is
here preparing for the great struggle
which he declares will surely come.

The treaty annexing the Hawaiian
islands to the United States has
been signed by the ministers of
both countries and has been trans.
mitted by President Mckinley to
the senate with message recon.
mending it's ratification. By the
terms of the treaty the Hawaiian
government cedes to the United
States all rights of sovereignty ab-
solutely, and gives the president
the veto power over the legislature
of the islands. The United States
assumes the debt of the island
republic amounting to 100000.
The treaty will require two-thirds
vote of the senate, or 60 votes, to
secure its ratification and some
doubt is expressed az to whether
these can be had. The departure is
such a radical one for this country
that it will be seriously considered
before its adoption. The PROPOSE
ton is rather attractive and dazzling
at first, but the disadvantages of
attaching an alien and non-aseimi-
lative nation to this people are also
apparent and may be undesirable
on a deeper study of the question.
The Japanese government has pros
tested against the treaty as viola-
ton under existing treaties of its
own rights.

Idaho is the fifth state in the
union in the output of gold and
silver, having produced in round
numbers 100000 in the year
1896. California, far famed for its
mineral wealth, produced only s16,.
100000. The outlook in Idaho
gives indication that within the
next few years the output for the
state will exceed that of California.
The interior of the state is just being
opened up. The prospector who
has for years known Of veins, bars
and lodges has at last succeeded in
interesting the capitalist in the de.
velopment of these properties.
Active mining in the interior of
Idaho is yet in it's beginning. Ow-
ing to the inaccessible nature of the
country rich ore deposits have been
neglected. This year will see a
great development of promising
properties, and it would not be at
all surprising if some fortunate
prospector or company would hap
pen upon some of the famous
Lodges whose fragments found in
placer ground made Idaho 80 noted
as tbs Golden Golconda in the good
old booming times in the early
sixties.

HANNA SCARED.
Ohio Plutocrat Apparently Has Good
Reason to Fear Defeat

James Gresham, who has been
looking into political and industrial
conditions in Ohio, sends this to
the New York Journal:
No wonder Mr.. Hanna is startled
by the reports he is getting from
every part Of Ohio. Nothing but a
war or a threat of war can prevent
the State from going Democratic.
The further / 60 the more frightful
is the evidence of suffering and
despair that meets my eyes. Great
multitudes are abandoning the Re-
publican party. That is evident to
the most casual onlooker.
Never in the history of the State
has there been such q collapse of
business, such q wreck of homes.
Look at the figures, which show the
steady march of misery since Nc
Kinley's election.
did not support Mr.. Bryan for
the presidency, nor did l advocate
free silver as q cure for our indus
trial and commercial troubles. l
can, therefore, present the record of
the Republican administration with
some right to be regarded as an
entirely fair witness. Take Frank
lin county, in which the capital of
Ohio is situated. Mr.. Creelman
then proceeds to give the cold fig
ures written down on the public
records since the day Mr.. Mckinley
was elected With the understanding
that he was to find a way of instant
prosperity.
In giving the records from Nov. /,
1895, to June of the present year
the writer shows a loss of $3.50, 456
to property owners and creditors,
through assignments and foreclos-
ures. This is loss of 364 per cent
Of the vast range Of property in
volved, and of III per cent of the
creditors. And things are growing
worse every day.
Think of this record for one coun-
ty in Ohio in the brief time since
was elected.

Governor Rogers, of the State Of
Washington, has written Eugene
V. Debs, inviting him to consider
Washington as a possible location
for his experimental colonies. The
Governor says he favors anything
consistent with the laws which
might look toward the amelioration
of the conditions surrounding the
poorer people, now enormously in
creasing in numbers. He advises
Wall street to read Ezekiel xvi : 49,
so, and learn why Sodom was given
its baptism of fire and birthstone.
If Debs and his colleagues do not
succeed in getting land in Utah, it
is believed they will direct their
attention to Washington.
