Governor Pingree Failed to Get His
Venezuelan Asphalt Mine.

NEW YORK, Dec ia dispatch to the
World from Caracas, Venezuela says: In
October Governor Pingree, of Michigan,
came here to obtain an option on tie Peder-
males asphalt mine, near the mouth of the
Orinoco. He left here greatly pleased to
have obtained it, as he thought. 1t is said
that Immediately after his return home he
formed a syndicate of friends residing in
Milwaukee, Detroit and Chicago to buy and
exploit the mine. Governor Pingree does
not speak Spanish, and did not discover
that the option sold to him to buy the mine
for $4,000 was subject to the approval of
the general meeting of the shareholders.

ment signed by their president. A party
composed of Col Eli S. Sutton. secretary
for Governor Pingree; Edward z. Hackett,
banker of Milwaukee, and two engineers

full power to close the deal Immediately.
They We're stupefed when they were told
that the shareholders of the asphalt mine
demanded $lG0 900 for the property, instead
of the $4,000 stipulated in the option sold
to Governor Pingree, Protests were of no
avail.

OWENSBORO, KY, Dec. 1S.-R. Monarch
for himself the Glenmore Distilling Com
pany and the Eagle Distilling Company as
signed to-day to the Columbia Finance and
Trust Company of Louisville. The assets
and liabilities are estimated to be each
about $3.50, 900. The long depression in the
whisky business and inability to continue
loans are given as the cause. The Glenmore
is incorporated with 100000 and the Eagle
with $150,O0O capital. Monarchs embarrass-
ment is caused by his trying to save his
brother, Nj. V. Monarch, who failed some

Insurgent FORCES increasing.

HAVANA, via Key West, Dec 18.-Re-
ports from Sancti Spiritus state that Seniors
Rafael, Madrigal and Cruz, a brother-in-
law of Marcos Garcia, an insurgent chief
in the last war, and now civil governor of
the province of Santa Clara, have left for
the insurgent camps to confer with the
leaders, to induce them to surrender to the
Spanish authorities and accept autonomy.
The insurgents are increasing largely in
numbers in the provinces of Pinar del Rio,
Havana and Matanzas. A resident of Pinar
del Rio asserts that 1000 pacificos have gone
to the insurgent camp. An ex-chief of the
insurgents says that in the Santiago de
Cuba province the insurgents have in
creased in numbers to 5000.
General Pando has sent to General Par
arod copy of dispatch from the CORE
spondent of a Madrid newspaper, saying
that the rebellion in Santa Clara was being
vigorously carried on, and that it was i'm
possible to fight General Gomez who, in
spite of General Blanco's measures, avoids
engagements with the Spanish troops The
dispatch also says that the soldiers still
success of the campaign. General Pando
has telegraphed to Marshal Blanco from
ManzanilIo to send a supply of cattle, which
is urgently needed there.
The autonomlsts pretend to be in CORE
spondence with twenty insurgent leaders,
who have agreed to surrender to the au-
thorities in case autonomy is established in
the island, but little credit is given to the
report.
According to official advices squadron
of Spanish troops routed the insurgents in
an engagement at Calmito, near Havana
City killing five and capturing three pris-
oners among whom was the leader, Villa

When seized the advices say villa Neuva

surprising the camp and killing sixteen in
surgents. Villa Nueva was brought to
Havana last night.
1t is reported that Marshal Blanco will go
to the Santiago de Cuba province TO assume
command of the operations in the field
after he has established a provisional au-
economist government.
Reports from Guira Melena say that many
fires have been seen in the cansfelds dur
ing the last two nights.
Ex-Police Inspector Albert Escalante has
been expelled from Cuba for conspiracy
against the government. He was relieved
of his Office by the new administration,
after which he became involved in plots
against the government. He is passenger

friend, Mckinley, as compensation, is going
TO SEND squadron to the Gulf Of Mexico
a measure never so unnecessary as now,
since cuba has captain general whose
policy is just and humane. Spain has just
made great concessions to Cuba This is be-
cause the Yankees are seeking to justify
the policy of the insurgents, who base hopes
on the intervention of their friends The
sending of this squadron will revivify their
hopes and cause a continuation Of the
struggle. The Intervention of the United
states Will be monStrouS act of cynicism.
Those who kept silence in the presence of
t IN German man cruisers at Haiti do not dare
TO risk the disapprobation Of Europe. We
know the means which will foil the tricks
OF the Yankees" continues the Impartial:
These means are the great wisdom OF
Spain. the great loyalty of the island. the
grand activity in our arsenals and the great
energy of the government 1t is unnecessary
10 mention the patriotism of SPAIN.
An official note issued to-day says that
the Gulf of Mexico has not made a bad
impression here. as the government Is
of Mexico is the only sea where naval
maneuvers are possible and that these win
ter maneuvers have not occurred for two
wounding Spanish susceptibilities. The gov
ernment, the note says, intends to leave to
Marshal Blanco the task of organizing the
first Cuban government. 1t will hold en-
tirely aloof on local questions, having con-
adopted for the island The reports cir
culated concerning the construction of Span
ish war ships are much exaggerated, ac-
cording to the note, which asserts that it is
the governments intention merely to COM
plete the existing squadron in accordance
with a scheme prepared some years ago by
commission presided over by the late
Senior CanOvas del Castillo. The note con-
cludeS with the assurance that the CarliSts
have not been contemplating disturbances
and that the leaders of the party are pre-
pairing to take part in the approaching legis-
lative elections.
A member of the Ministry, in the course
of an interview to-day said: THE govern
United States Congress will take no resOlu-
tons up disagreeable to Spain and need at
tach no Importance to the speeches and pro-
posals of lingo congressman. So long as
President Mckinley and the government do
not depart from the correct attitude to-
wards our rights, observing the laws of neu-
trality, there is no reason to fear hostile
acts or decisions on the part of Congress
or the American government. On the con-
trary, the government is aware that in Off
cial circles in Washington the news of the
pacificatiOn of the Philippines was well re-
ceived and will, it is thought, have favor
able effect on the situation in Cuba. The
American government is aware that the mil
itary and political situations in Cuba are
much improved and therefore cannot change
its friendly attitude"

PARDEE HALL BURNED.
Many Valuable Instruments, Books
and Collections Destroyed.

EASTON, Pa, Dec. 1S.-Pardee Hall, the
magnificent four-story stone structure that
stood on the brow of College Hill, this city,
and was the pride of Lafayette College, was
badly damaged by fire early this morning.
The east wing was saved from the flames.
The center of the structure and the entire
west wing were Quilted and only the black
ened walls are left standing. Besides the
damage to the building, thousands of dol
lars worth of valuable property belonging
to professors at the college were destroyed.

typographical engineering, loses his ma

c. Porter's botanical collection, probably
the finest in the United States, was also de-
stroyed. The Ward library, consisting of
ten thousand volumes of valuable books, is
in the ruins, along with valuable museum

Consolidation Of the Five Companies
I'm Pittsburg and Allegheny.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. sd. Herbert
Hostetter, one of the largest holders of gas
stock in this city. announced tonight the
contamination of big gas deal which has
been negotiating for year or more. The
five gas companies in Pittsburg and Allie
gheny have consolidated and will be oper-
ated under one head with capital stock
of 5000 coo. The plants amalgamated are
dated Gas Company, the Allegheny Gas
Company, the South Side Gas Company
and the East End Gas Company. A new
$500 600 plant will be erected, supplied with
improved machinery, which will effect a
saving of about so per cent. in the cost
of production. The new process to be used
clined retorts for the old horizontal kind,
and the innovation will be the first at
tempted in this country.

The Anti-Bountv Crusade.

LONDON, Dec. 1S.-The indications point
to a passage in the Queens speech at the
opening of Parliament referring to the
sugar interests of the colonies. 1t will prob
ably announce that the government has de-
cided to propose a conference of the pow
ers interested in sugar bounties. 1t is I'M
derstood the government is prepared to an
nounce at such q conference that unless
the bounty system is abandoned Great Brit
tain will impose countervailing duties
The Colonial Office has been greatly ex
crcised since the West Indian Commission
reported and since the discussions in the
Reichstag, in which Herr Richter admit
ted that should Great Britain follow the
lead of the United States and tax bounty
fed sugar the death knell of bounties would
be sounded. Signs are not lacking that both
Germany and France are anxious to abol-
ish the bounties, but neither will abandon
them so long the other is free to main
tain them and so monopoize the English
market. The objections of the free-traders
to a protective measure will probably be
overcome by guarantee that the duties
will be removed as soon as the bountieS
have ceased. The signs of unrest in the
sugar colonies are having effect upon the
authorities.

PARIS, Dec. 1S.-The bodies of Voltaire
and Rousseau were again exhumed to-day

Voltaire's skull was found to be eleven in

the author committed suicide by shooting.
