THE DYING CENTURY.

Old century, tOtterilg TO thu rest,
All vainly dost thou beat thy breast;
A new dawn gilds the mountain crest
TIE glory of thy wondrous day,
with all its glitter ana display
In twilight shadow dies away.
Almost the poet, in whose rhyme
nv praise Is sung IN verse sublime,
Begins his lay, "Once on a time'
Strange fancies fill thy iime-worn brain:
Inon dreamest thou art young again,
win battle-cry on land and main.
And a dread turmoil of unrest
Embroiis the orient and the West;
Alarums sound ut thy behest
Zen lsraePs children, in thy throes,
Imagine Ger again their woes:
Ana many hope toward Zion goes.
The world is mad-men shout and cry
Beholdlng wonders la the sky,
renewing faith in prophecy.
Old cen tury, we love thee well,
my tame the chroniclers will tell
y" neh Iong forgot thy funeral knelL
For many a noble thought hath sped
10 nooler action bv thee led,
Ana many high-soued wUrd was said.
New happiness came In thy wake,
Klghted was many an old mistake;
An age-worn thirst thy springs did slake.
est thee-new hopes begin TO play:
ihey urlVe thy death born fears away,
AND usher in the newer day.
Rest Rest thee, brave requiem shall be thine,
Whose lustrous deeds Will long outshine
The strange vagaries Of decline

REPORT.
Woodfords Arrival Excited Madrid General
Gomez Reported Wounded--Fear Of
Utimatum From Mckinley.

Havana June ga passenger train
bound from Havana to Matanzas has
been dynamited by insurgents between
San Miguel and Campo Florido. The
locomotive was thrown from the track
and capsized and two cars were derailed
The engineer and fireman were injured
A band of insurgents to-day entered
the village of Calabascar, in Havana
province and plundered several stores.
Rumors have been afoat here since
yesterday morning, probably emanating
from official circles, that Gen. Maxine
Gomez, commander in chief, has been
killed in fight near the military line,
in the province of Puerto Principe, ex-
tending from Jucaro to Moron. The re-
ports have not been confirmed.
According to Official advices a number
of insurgents who have surrendered to
the authorities at Placetas assert positive
ly that in the same engagement in which
General Gomez's horse was killed, the
insurgent leader himself was wounded.
La Lucha, commenting upon the ap-
pOintment of General Stewart l.. Wood
ford, to be the United States Ambas-
sador to Madrid, says the report that the
General carried with him some important
documents from President Mckinley to
Spain has caused a certain amount OF
excitement. as indicating the possibility
of direct or indirect intervention in Cuba
upon the part of the United States.
The editorial attack of the Impartial
Of Madrid, upon a son of General Fitz-
hugh Lee, the United States Consul here
charging the young man with being
implicated in the premature publication
of his fathers report of the result of the
investigation into the death Of DIR. Ri
cardo Ruiz, the American citizen who
met his death by violence in the Jail OF
Guanabacoa, is refuted by the Havana
correspondent of the newspapers which
published the report. He has written a
letter to La Lucha denying most emphat.
ically that an advance copy Of the report
was obtained from either General Lee
his son, or from any employe of the Unit
ed States consulate in Havana.

AN EARLY ADJOURN MEM
REPUBLICANS TO FINISH UP TARIFF BILL
THIS MONTH.
Their Differences Adjusted and the House
Having Kept in Touch Conference
Agreement Will be Prompt.

Washington, June 26.-The Republican
tariff managers are very hopeful Of being
able to complete the consideration of the
tariff bill in the Senate by next We'd
Inesday night, result which would bring
the end in the Senate within the present
month. They are led to this conclusion
because the Republicans have adjusted
most of their differences and see their
way clear to the settlement of others.
The Democratic leaders do not concede
the possibility of so early a conclusion.
They generally place it week further on,
on about the seventh or eighth of July,
but admit that the end may come by
Saturday of next week.
The expectation is that the bill will
not be long in conference. The House
eonferees have been in touch with the
Senate managers from the beginning of
the consideration of the bill in the Sem
ate and have already, it is stated, prac-
tically concurred in many of the changes
which have been made.
Both the Senate and House managers
will agree upon the necessity for as early
an agreement as possible, and working
in this spirit, they will not split hairs.
Senator Aldrich is expected to return
in time to act with the Senators in the
conference. He is looked for on Sunday.
