Havana, January 1s.-rhe gunboats
Centinela and ReIampago left Manza-
milo on the night Of January 10th, with
the object Of going up the river Cauto
to Fort Guamo, In compliance with the
orders Of General Bosch.
At 10 O'Clock on the morning Of Jan
uary II both gunboats were near Man
go Landing when the explosion Of a
torpedo. which had been well placed In
the river. sank the Relampago. Those
OF the crew who survived swan to-
wards shore. but were fired on from
the banks. At this critical moment q
boat was launched from the Centinela
which rescued the men in the water.
In view Of the instructions. and the
fact that the commander OF the Cent?
nela, and nearly all OF the crews Of
both boats had been wounded. the ex-
pedition had to return to Manzaniil0.
Six officers and many OF the crew Of
the DalampaSo we're killed outright

more or less severity.

Senior Puerto, was seriously wounded.
while one OF the crew was killed and

Havana. January Is. via Key West
There is considerable complaint here
among newspaper correspondents and
others, in regard to the alleged tamper-
ing with mail matter upon tine part OF
the Spanish authorities here. and II In
believed the attention Of the United
States authorities will be called TO the
matter. However. influences continue
working to bring about recall Of Cap
tain General Weyier.
In the first place. 1t is beyond doubt
that the attacks made upon him by the
Madrid papers have placed the general
in a very unfavorable position to-
wards the government and almost any
other man would have resigned before
this. Outside assistance Is what the
insurgents stand badly in need Of at
present. Everything depends upon the
friends of the insurgents in the United
States. II they do not exert them
selves promptly and effectively in the
very near future. the dream OF inde-
pendence for Cuba may pass away for
the present. The turning point Of the
instruction. 1t Is believed here, has
been reached.
Jacksonville, Fla, January 1S.-Judge
Locke, of the United States court, for
the Southern District OF Florida, rem
dered his decision today in the Three
Friends case upon the exceptions OF
the defense that inasmuch as the Gu
ban insurgents had not been recog-
nized by the United States they were
neither people nor body polite, as
defined by the section under which
the libel was drawn. This was sus-
tanned by Judge Locke and the district
attorney was given ten days in whick
to file an amended libel. The point
was one that had never been raised

in the consideration and discus
sion of several important current
and prospective happenings. An
nexation, as yet insecure, Re-

after arrival; the outcome of the
war between Greece and Turkey
and, whether or no, all Europe

the settlement of the quarantine
squabble-are all themes of much
conjecture and uncertainty, and
while opinions are freely offered,
none can accurately foretell the
outcome of any of these matters.

Why Not w. j. Bryane

views on dress coat. Not leader
such as German or Mcpherson, who
Will sell themselves TO the trust devil

ttiot, who is a Democrat on principle
aud holds his Democracy rs he does

surrender or compromise until the
rights of the people of the whole
country are protected One, not the
vile agent of trusts and tariff robbers
and trampler upon the poor, the
widow and the orphan and the indus
tries of his country, at the bidding
OF his plutocratic masters.
When we have such leader, the
Democratic party will once more rule
the country.
OF course the States did not mean
this ple,, for eulogy OF AIr. Bryan,
but he fills the requirements of the
States so thoroughly that we cannot
refrain FROM abiding to him. Mr..
Bryan's politics consist, not of origi
nal views of dress coats as the States
seem TO think Mr.. Bailey does, nor
can any man truthfully charge that
Mr. Bryan would sell himself to the
devil trust for sugar stock.
And if he be not great hearted.
broad gauged patriot, who is Demo.
crat on principle and holds his
Democracy as his religion, we have
not such man in this country.
