MnoUNA PASS, April 22. The Greek
posts at Milouna and Tyrnavo were
captured at noon. The Turkish head

1t is estimated that the Greek forces

which skirts along the base of the foot

"Hat Trimmings" Cases Decided in Favor

WASHINGTON, April 21.-Notice has
been issued at the treasury department.
that the government has won the fa-
nous that trimmings" case in the
Philadelphia courts, a case which in
wolves several million dollars to inn
porters and which has been in the
courts for long time past.
The suit was brought as test case
by Meyer & Dickinson, large impor-
tiers of Philadelphia, who sought to re.
cover from the United States govern
ment difference of 30 per cent in
custom duties. The firms contention
was that the importations in question
consisted solely of hat trimmings, ON
which the duty under the Mckinley
tariff act was only 20 per cent, but the
federal officials in their argument
maintained that the merchandise was
used chiefly for dresses and 6ress
trimmings, and that the duty of 80 per
cent levied by the government were
proper.

WOLCOTT'S rlISSION.
He Will Be Royalty Welcomed by
London BimetalIists.

New York. Jan. 5.-The Tribune to-
morrow morning will publish the fol-
lowing dispatch from its correspondent
in London: The approaching visit of
Senator WOlcOtt to London is not dis
cussed by the press, but bankers and
practical financiers are talking about
it quietly among themselves, and are
not inclined to dismiss it as a political
manOeuvre. He will certainly be re-
ceived with unusual cOrdiality. BIZ
metallistS will welcome him 3 and
eagerly exchange views with him. The
financial situation, however is favor
able in one respect for promoting the
objects of Senator WOlcottS mission.
The export of gold from England to
India, which has been forecasted by
such shrewd observers for several
weeks. has begun. The amount of
sold shipped is not large yet, but with
the continuance of the monetary strin-
gency in india and with exchanges
so high that gold can be profitably
exported in payment for merchandise,
it is plain that the movement will re-
ceive an additional impulse and will
last for several months.
I learned on excellent authority that
there have been Informal conferences be-
tween the financial authorities of the
British government and the officials of
the Bank OF England and other prominent
bankers and that three concessions on
the silver question have been suggested
as possible in any conference with
Senator Wolcott on any agreements with
the American government.
They are:
First, the speedy reoDening of the
Indian mints for the coinage of silver.
Second. the coinage outright of 5000
600 worth in silver in England. and
Third. an increase of silver deposits in
the Bank of England to the extent of %
per cent of the reserve. These three
concessions have certainly been dis
cussed quietly although neither the Bank
of England nor the government is COM
m:tted in any way to a formal offer
either to Senator Wolcott or to any
representative of the American govern
ment. They probably represent the limit
to which England will so with America.
International bimetallism is hardly within
the range of possibilities. So far as Eng
land is concerned, an international con-
ference is impracticable, unless a definite
basis of action is proposed in the form of
new ratio between gold and silver The
conditions of Indian finance. however,
make it possible for the reopening of the
Indian mints and easing the situation

Albany. Jan. 5.-The following print
ed strip was circulated about the
capitol today among the members of
the legislature:
Resolved, that we, members of the
committee of eight of the city of AL
bany, do hereby petition, through our
agent, Cuyler Teneyck, the Democratic
members of the legislature of the
state of New York as follows:
Dear Sirs-Do not vote for Senator
Hill. 1t is not a proper act that he
should be honored with the nomination
of his party at this time; do not de-
stroy those principles which the party
so gallantly contended for at Buffalo.
1t will give honor TO a deserter, it will
place a price on hypocrisy.
Senator Hill was the main cause
of throwing the party in a chaos by
the disgraceful nomination of Thatch-
er, and he tried hard to hold in the
field after the people and his party
had repudiated him and he had repu-
dated himself"
Mr.. Teneyck refused to say just who
the committee of eight are or who
they represent.

Chicago. Jan. 5.-A Key West, Fla,
special says: Advices from Havana
received by Cuban leaders here are
to the effect that there was a bloody
engagement on New Years day be-
tween Spaniards and insurgents near
Cartegena, town in the western part
of MatanZas province, near the Santa
Clara line.
Near Cartegena We're encamped
nearly 100 Spaniards under Colonel
Rosi, who had been ordered to pre-
vent the vanguard of Gomez from
crossing the Rio Gonzalo. On New
Years day, the Spaniards were at
tackled by 1000 Cuban infantry and
500 cavalry. The Spaniards held a
strong position and had four field
pieces, but the Cubans made a direct
charge. The insurgents, however,
We're repulsed.
The Cuban commander then ordered
his cavalry to turn the flank of the
Spaniards and attack them in the
read. This manOeuvre was executed,
and as the cavalry charged the Span
iards from the rear, the Cuban in
fantry attacked in front. The Span
ish forces broke and fled, being pur-
sued by the Cubans almost to Carte
gena. 1t is said seven officers were
also reported that 140 Spanish privates
were killed and nearly 200 wounded.
The Cubans are said to have lost 60
killed and about 80 wounded. The
Cubans captured the four field pieces
and many small arms.
SPANIARDS ROUTED.
Havana advices also report that the
Spaniards under Colonel Segura have
been routed in Pinar del Rio by the
Cubans under General Rivera, who
succeeded Maceo. 1t is stated that
Colonel Segura, with 1000 men, at
tempted to carry Rivera's position in
the Pinar del Rio hills. Rivera threw
out small parties which fell back and
the Spaniards were drawn on and
caught by an enfilading fire, which
threw them into confusion. Rivera
ordered a charge, and Seguras broken
ranks were swept down the hills with
frightful loss. Rivera pursued the
Spaniards till nightfan. 1t is claimed
that Segura lost nearly 200 killed and
300 wounded, while the Cuban loss was
small.
When the news reached Havana, it
was suppressed, and Spanish officials
spread the story of Rivera's death to
counteract the effect of the story of
the disaster to Segura.
1t is stated that a steamer reached
Havana on Friday with 300 of Seguras
wounded men. These men were guard
ed to prevent their talking of the dis

political event which has occurred at
Major McKinley's home since the cleo
tiOn. 1t is understood that Major Nc
Kinley would very much like 10 have

great that he has surrendered the no
ton that he could secure a period of

Among Major McKinley's visitors to-
day was Senator ThurStOn of Neb-

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Judge Grosscup to-
day took up the trial of eX-President
Reinhart and ex-TrAffic Manager Han
ley of the Santa Fe railroad for alleged
giving of rebates. The indictments
were found three years ago. Reinhart
and Hanley gave a rebate of S5 a car
to Isaac Thompson on a shipment of
cattle from Kansas City.
A jury was quickly secured and the
government presented its star witness
to open its case-John G.. Taylor, who
was live stock agent of the Santa Fe
Railroad company in 1892 when the al
legged cutting of rates by the rebate
scheme was practiced.
Taylor testified that in October, 1892.
Isaac Thompson of Kansas City, who
was a buyer of live stock and owned
commission houses, was paid in re-
bates ST. 12S in the office of Defendant
Hanley in the Monadnock building in
this city, $3.50 of which represented
payment of So rebate for each car of
live stock shipped over the Santa Fe
road, on condition that the road would
be used exclusively by Thompson. The
remainder of the sum was for legiti-
mate damages. Thompson wanted his
money at once, as he needed to make
houses before leaving in the morning.
On that occasion. the witness swOre,
Hanley required him to give Thomp-
son his personal check for the full
amount, which he did. The actual pay
mept with Taylor'S check is regarded
as a loophole for Hanley's defense.
In the other case of rate cutting
charged in the Indictment, that of pay
ing $3.50 to w. T. Jenkins, manager
of the Hammond Packing company, as
a rebate of So car on condition that
the company give the Santa .Fe all
their live stock business, Taylor teSti-
fed that Hanley required him to
audit" the claim, and he did so, rec
Ommending that it be paid on the con-
dition agreed to as to the Santa Fe
road getting a monopoly of the Ham
mond company'S business. Taylor said
the money was paid through the reg
ular official channels, so far as he
knew, but he did not see the payment
made.
The witness was subjected to two
hours severe. crosS-eXamination by at
torney for defendants. but his testi-
mony remained mistaken. He admitted
that Hanley had discharged him six
months after the alleged rate cutting.
and he was an agent of the Interstate
commerce commission.
The feature of tOday's testimony was
that nothing developed 10 imDlicate
eX-President Reinhart.
Senator Duncan, his lawyer, declared
in court that his client was not in Hi
nois during the period covered by the
charges, and Judge Grosscup intimated
the government must prove Reinhart
was in Illinois at the time.

Three Friends Again Libeled.

Jacksonville, Fla, Jan. 5.-A new libel
was filed against the Three Friends to-
day in the United States court by Dis
trict Attorney Frank Clark. In this
libel the steamer is not charged with
violating any particular section of the
revised statutes. and it is possible that
this omission of the revised statutes is
for the purpose of charging the vessel
with piracy. In the libel ii is alleged that
the Three Friends was armed and fitted
out in the port of Fernandina on Dec
H. 1896. with a large amount of stores,
rifles, cartridges, machetes, dynamite and
a large Hotcbkiss gun or cannon. That
she was so armed and fitted out for the
purpose of conducting hostilities against
the subjects, people and property of the
king of Spain in the island of Cuba. That
the fitting out was done by John o Brien
with T. Lewis, John Don, j. Barris, j. H.
Fr:tot and j. a. Huau and that, on or
about Dec. 19, on the high seas, the first
three named and others unknown
mounted on the bow of the vessel the
Hotchkiss gun for the purpose of con-
Quoting hostitltieS as aforesaid.
The libel is for the forfeiture of the
vessel to the United States. An attach
mert was at once issued and served by
the United States marshal and the boat
IS once more tied up The district at
torney claims that the owners will not
be permitted to give bond to secure the
release of the vessel.

THE DOG ZERTUCHA.
Benedict Arnold a Saint Compared
With Him.

New York. Jan. 5.-A Sun special
from Havana says: There is great
Indignation here among the Cubans
on account of the news that DR.. Max
imo Zertucha has been engaged as u
guide for the Spanish troops, and will
soon leave for Pinar del Rio with
General Weyler. There are few men
who know that province as we'll as
DR. Zertucha, who was for a long time
a physician in Menela del Sur and
other small towns. AS mayor of Mele-
ma before the war, he had occasion to
study the topography of the country
and all the strategic points in the
mountains.
He is now living in a house on Ami,
mas street in Havana, surrounded by
a strong guard of policemen to prot
tect him against any attack from the
Cubans, because it is said they have
sentenced him to death on account of
his act of treachery against General
MaceO
