The course Of events in Cuba follows very
closely the predictions OF this journal at the
beginning OF the rainy season. Weyler has
been compelled 10 recognize his utter ina
idlity to keep up even a show OF force in
tile Eastern provinces, where, noninally
he has sixty thousand troops. These, or
whatever his effective really is, he is CON-
PEELED to Withdraw for the protection of
Havana, and il is not doubted in Spanish
circles in Havana that he has Determined
20 abandon Santiago de Cuba and Puerto
Principe provinces for good and all. Al
though definitely ordered from Madrid

has assured the Spanish inhabitants D!
that town that he no longer can guarantee
them against the armies OF the Republic.
DE is bringing large detachments from the
East by sea, apparently under the belief
that Gen. Gomez at length considers him
self stiong enough TO attack the capital.
If his fears have good found alton there
should be sensational news from Cuba be-

There is little new or particularly inter
esting in the political situation in Greater
New York. The Tammapy leaders have de-
cided upon a waiting game, and viii do
nothing uutil after the p lstt convention On
Che 2Sth. The row in the Republican camp
seems to afford them much satisfaction, in
ssmuch as both Mr.. Croker and Mr.. Sheehan
are under the impression that they VIII
have a united Democracy at their bacS.
Their Determination 20 eliminate silver
from the campaign appears definite and
final. That being the case, the course is
not quito as clear before them as they
would like TO have it, or possibly as they
may believe it to be. Nothing could be
much more certain than that thousands OF
Democrats viii vote for Seth Low rather
than allow Taramany to sell out the Demo
cratic party 10 the whitneyH gold e,c-
mcnt. victory underthose conditions would
beiufini,eiy worse than defeat, and We are
much mistakenif the bosses have not most
unpleasant surprise in store for them.

Notes of the Day.

Although the engagement was compare
lively snail affair, none the less the de-
feat OF Gen. Jeffreys by the Mohmund
tnbesiaen is most serious matter for the
British government. IL will vastly in
crease tic courage of the rebels, and very
likely cause an immediate spread of the
insurrection. That the Mohmunds should
De aide to whip a British brigade, pre-
yiously supposed to be able to punish
them severely, is something which viii
not tend TO an early settlement OF the
trouble. lt is characteristic as well as
d bad habit Of the English alway US To think
that a few hundred British troops are
amply sufficient 10 COPE with any number
of natives" Consequently, the imperial
authorities seldom attack in large force
until some small expedition has been
slaughtered. After that they send huge
columns and finish the business. They
Will need no small beer OF an army IN

dications are deceiying.

is much bothered by this kind u move
ment He does not like to use force
against women. and naturally advantage
win be taken OF that fact. Altogether
about 10000 miners are on strike in the
district. with not very distinct chances for
an early settlement of the trouble. There
are uncomfortable. tendencies to violence
here ana there. and at Gen. Gobin's head
quarters in Hazleton there is an appare Mt
feeling OF uncasness. The PROSPECTS, for

very bright al yet.

Berlin. Sept. 1s. Much sorrow hes
been created here by the announcement
that the Grand Duk G of Baden, whose wife

are numbered.
Indeed. tine malady with which he is
afflicted, and which is analogous to that
which carriedoff SO prematurely his brother

very advanced stage, so much 80 that his
physicians hhyeinsisted that he must a ban

residence, on the island Of Mainau, In the
Lake OF Constance, an exquisitely be auti-
full place, which has been until now his
favorite residence, and where his father.
inlaw, Emperor William, was accustomed
TO speLd the autumn each year throughout
the latter portion of his life. Mainau is
considered far too damp, and the doctors
have recommended the Grand Duke TO
remain where he is now, at st. Blaise u.

and surrounded by pine woods. Thetirand
Duchess, who is almost entirely blind, is
with him.
The Grand Duke IL indebted for the
crown which he has occupied for 80 many
years To- the insanity of his elder brother,

Advices from the yellow fever districts
on the whsie are encouraging rather than
otherwise. The pestilence seems most
active in Edwards, Miss, where nineteen
cases were reported yesterday. Two new
cases developed in New Orleans. 1t is
noticeable there, as elsewhere, that the
disease this year is generally Of mild
form with much lower percentage IF

epidemic periods This cons liberation taken
in conjunction with the Iateness OF the

WILLIAM j. BRYAN'S MODESTY.
Says That He Does Not, More Than
Others, Merit Praise.


New York, Sept. 1S.-A letter from
William Jennings Bryan was printed yes
terday in the Nail and Express, Withdrawals
as follows
Dear Sir: / have read with pleasure an
editorial from your Paper OF September
in regard to the railroad disaster in
Kansas and my connection with it, 1 beg
TO thank you for your generous words, but
am afraid your praise outruns the merit
OF my work on that occasion. l did no
more than the others who escaped I'M
injured. and none of us did more than
could have been expected from any per-
son under the circumstances. Some OF the
wounded ones were suffering intensely,
and no one could have refused any assist
anoe which could possibly be rendered.
''It s often the lot of public men to be
criticised when they do hot deserve it,
and suppose the unmerited commentator
which they sometimes receive is necessary
to form a just average. However, I ap-
preciate The charity which you, as a po-
litical opponent, have shown. Very truly
yours, w. r.. BRYAN.

Chicago, Sept. 1s,-If the charges pre-
ferred against Max Rosen berg, theatrical
manager ARE sustained, he will have rightly

Rosenberg. She vert with him and an
otter woman to Indianapolis TO play IN

Nimble Flea fame, and Rosenberg were
walkihg down the street when Rosenberg
suddenly took Miss Mitchell's arm and
escorted her into a Justices shop, pulled
out marriage license and had the knot
tied, before the astonished girl could enter
objections.

Rosenberg's record, and finds he has been
married at least three times before she met
him; to Jennie Lyman, of Cleveland, in
1885; to Emma Bell, OF Providence, r.
l., who got q divorce from HIM in 1892;
