From the Buffalo Commercial.
The audacity and wit of the Amer
lean tramp are proverbial and un-
dOubtedly they often save him from
harsher treatment than his merits and
demerits entitle him to. A country
house near Buffalo recently received
call from one of these species. The
man was dirty, unkempt and unmis-
takably a tramp. He also bore the
signs of addiction to strong drink and
general WOrthlessness. The humorous
touch that finished the picture, as he
came up with a genial smile and a
good deal of manner, was a round and
fresh clerical collar, which had evil

the premises of the neighboring col
lege.

lNSURGENT VICTORIES.
How Cuba Replies to the Fake Over
tuTe OF Reconciliation.

Havana, Dec. 9.-In addition to the
capture of the town of Guisa, General
CaliXto Garcia has also taken Canto eI
Embarcadero, town larger and of
more importance than Guisa. The gar
rison fought bravely, but was utterly
defeated, the rebels using artillery and
dynamite guns with great effect. The
garrison is reported wiped out like that
in Guisa. These consecutive reverses
almost paralyzed the Spanish forces in
Santiago de Cuba.
In the western provinces the rebels
have broken into small bands and are

Nana province have hanged two Cubans
named Osma and Antonio Rodriguez
for approaching them with propositions
OF autonomy at the instigation of the
spanish. 1t is said that nearly fifteen
such hangings have already taken
place throughout the island.

DEPRESSION IN COTTON.
Proposed Cut in Wages at Fall Rive,
Regarded as a Bad Omen,

Boston, Dec. 9.-Although Boston is
the centre of the cotton mill business
of New England, the men prominently
connected with the trade would have
little to say concerning the action Of
the Fall River manufacturers in voting
to reduce wages beginning January l.
The treasurer of one of the Fail
River mills, who was willing to discuss
the matter, said he regarded this cut
AS the beginning Of a serious time, not
only for the Fall River print mills, but
for all the cotton mills both there and
throughout the state. The key to the
whole situation, he said. is the rela-
tive cheapress of southern labor
