Gen. Bermudez, who Is now at Las villas with
Gomez, writes under date of Sept. 9.
81 have left In tho province or Pinar del Rio

The letter from Gen. Gomez of same date says:
81 have just received 80. o rounds Of ammu-
milton, which were delivered to me from the
central province. We are back hero at Las
Villas after a three days battle with the enemy,
in which we succeeded In driving them back to
Sancti Spiritus and Santa Clara cities. The
feyers, which have somewhat crippled our

quantities of q%uinine and other medicines which
have been recently sent u.s.

Acosta at Vera Cruz. Sehor QueBada left to-

otatC9s
TOPEKA. Kan. Sept. 26.-John W Breiden-
thai. State Bank Commissioner. and the man
who. as Chairman of the State Committee. won
two Populist victories, to-day announced the
organization Of a scheme to attract capital from
the East to the West. His plan is for the real
estate agents OF the sixteen States west of the
Mississippi River to form a company and issue
a paper devoted exclusively to real estate in
terests. Each State will have two pages and
each will have It's own editor. who will be the
judge OF what shall be printed for his State. He
believes that now is the time for the Western
States TO advertise themselves. Eastern people
are now talking more about the West than they
have for several years. and he. believes that BY
proper work n large number of people from the
East could be induced to settle out this way.
The experimental stage in the West has
passed. said Breidenthal to-day. The pioneers
have ascertained just what Kind OF a crop IL
adapted to each locality. The wheat belt has
been spotted, the corn country outlined: people
where to ,Grow fruit. In fact. the adaptability
OF each locality is accurately known. This
enables an Eastern man 10 go straight to the
locality which is suited to the rursuit he desires
to follow. It would be an index for the invest
ment OF New York and New England capital"

According to the Madrid press and to letters

investigation or tho Vessel Lying or tho st.
Johns RIver-The Crew MissinE.
JACKSONVILLE. Fla. Sept. 26.-It is believed
that the schooner reported foundered about
thirty miles due east of the st. Johns River bar
is the schooner Thomas w. Winsmore, bound
for this port from Philadelphia with coal. The
schooner was first reported by Capt. Floyd Of
the tug Kate Spencer. who saw a mast sticking
from the water. The Spencer had a schooner in
tow at the time and could not make u full ex-
animation.
The tug Three Friends went out to the wreck
yesterday and made an Investigation. 1t was
found that the vessel was lying in about sixteen
fathoms OF water. The mast that was sticking
up had been ch ppcd away. but was held from
floating OF by the rigging OF the vessel. A spar
also was seen to be sticking up. Capt. Floyd
said this morning that he believed it was
the Winsmorc. He was sure it was either that
vessel or the schooner Charles :. Davis. Tho
Winsmore was commanded this trip by Capt.
Hudson. Whatever vessel 1t is. it seems proba-
BILE that the crew have persisted. unless they were
picked up by some passing vessel.

HAzLEToN, Pa, Sept 26.-Thore was an ex-
hibition of tho riot spirit in Audenricd again
last night, Although the Eighth Regiment Is
still in camp in the neighborhood. the house of
Conner Jones was stoned by n mob and damaged
seriously. Conner Jones is the superintendent
of the Audenricd division of tho Lchigh and
Wilkesbarre Coal Company, and tho man whose
alleged arbitrary treatment OF the men under
him was the first cause OF tho rccen: strike. He
Is unpopular. and during the first part Of the
strike had to keep in hiding in fear OF personal
violence. His house was searched by mobs sew.
eral times. and had the Infatuated men caught
him he would for n certainty have been killed.
Tho same mob that attacked Jones's house
last night also broke into the office OF Squire
Robinson, the local Justice OF tho Peace.
smashed all tho furniture 1t contained, and
knocked out tho window. Robinson incurred
the III will OF tho striking miners lately by re-
fusing to issue n warrant for Jones's arrest
when Jones assaulted one of their number.
While these acts in themselves are of no great
Importance, they cause apprehension hero az
indicating the likelihood OF graver acts Of law

The saddle girth OF tho horse Gen. Goblin was
riding while on a tour OF inspection between
here and Camp Audenried to-day broke and the
General was thrown to the ground. He was not
seriously injured, but was bruised. and will NOT
be able to ride for a day or two. As Gen. Goblin
is heavy, and almost 90 years old, It Is thought
that he had n lucky escape.
