MAYSURPRISE WEYLER.
Insurgents Likely To Block His
Return To Havana.
OVER 5000 IN PINAR DEL RIO.
fet the Captain General Talks About
the Rebels Being Pacified In That Prov
ince-Another Train Blown Up by the
Insurgents-No Compromise.
lCopyrighted.1

HAVANA, Feb. 1O.-The various re-
ports and statements of Captain Gen
eral Weyler announcing the pacificatiOn
of the province of Pinar del Rio and the
almost complete disappearance of the
insurgents i'll that part of the island,
are far from being borne out by facts.
As intimated in these dispatches when
the Spanish commander made the re-
marks cited. if Pinar del Rio was as
quiet as he alleged it to be what has be-
come of the arms, horses, ammunition.
stores, etc, of the 1000 men whom he
admitted We're under arms there.
AS a matter of fact, the insurgent
forces in Pinar del Rio seem better off.
more thoroughly equipped and disci=
plined than at any previous stage of the
campaign. In support of this assertion
statements have been gathered from
the most reliable sources, showing there
are 5000 men III the field.
In addition to these forces is n strong
body of insurgents, which seems to have
mysteriOusly disappeared from the
neighbOrhood of Havana. The where
abouts of this force is causing the Span
ish staff considerable anxiety.
The friends of the insurgents inti-
mate that a big surprise is being pre-,
pared fer Captain General Weyler when
he tries to return TO Havana,
On Feb. 1 the insurgents destroyed
by dynamite culvert between Taco
and Bacanagua, Pinar del Rio, and
wrecked a train. The culvert was to-
tally destroyed, and one passenger on
the train was killed. The engineer,
two firemen, a captain of the artillery
volunteers, Suarez and five soldiers of
the battalion of Asturias were seriously
wounded two of them have since died
of the injuries thus received.
Advices from Remedies say that Gen
eral Maxine Gomez has removed from
the district of Santo Spiritus TO La
Siguanea, which caused rumors to be
circulated of a probable conference be.
tween the generals and eventually OF
the conclusion of peace. But those re
ports have since been denied from in.
surgent sources. Rebels do not want a
settlement.

Fewer Pension Agencies.

Washington, February The Presi-
dent has signed, on the recommendation
of Secretary of the Interior Francis, an
important order reducing the number of
pension agencies in the United States
from Is to nine. The object is to effect
a large saving TO the government with
out mountaineering the pensioners
The secretary demonstrates that the cost
of disbursing pensions can be reduced by
at least $3.50, 600 per annum.
Under the consolidation the pension
ers heretofore paid at Pittsburg are TO be
paid from the Philadelphia agency
The following are the nine agencies and
the number of pensioners to be paid
thereat under the order: Boston, "a,
357; New York, 9S, S33; Philadelphia,
lO6, 735; Washington; 40 265; COlum-
bus, 1O4, 492; indianapolis, 125, l23; st
LOUIS, 16l7O9; San Francisco, 23,09S
Total, 97O, ,67S.
The change is made possible by the
law requiring pensioners to be paid by
checks remitted by mail. 1t goes into
effect September l.

Clock steps a Bank.

Moorestown. y. j., Feb. The
Moorestown National Bank has been
thrown behind in its work several days
through a peculiar mishap. Early in
the week at the close of banking hOurs
one of the clerks closed the safe door,
but failed to start the time clock, which
operates the combination.
The omission was not discovered until
next morning when all efforts to open
the safe proved futile. An expert was
sent from the safemakers in Cincinnati.
He said the only way to get the safe
open was to start the clock. This he did
by getting large piece of timber and
with six men, using it as a battering
ram, they pounded on the door until the
Jar started the timepiece. Then there
was nothing to do but wait until the
clock ran the required number of hours
when the door was readily opened. The
bank lost four days as a result of the
mishap.

FOnr Victims of Escaping Gas.

Bosto, February S-Two moIe acci-
dents from the effects of escaping gas
occurred Yesterday in which four people
narrowly escaped with their lives, and
two now lie at the point of death. The
first accident took place in a tenement
in the South End early in the morning,
where John Higgins and his wife, Mary,
were discovered unconscious from the
effects of coal gas. Both were immedi-
ately removed to the city hospital, and
1t is thought that they will not survive
Edgar Connolly and Frank Oonnors, oc,
cupylng fiat in a house on Norway
street, were also discovered unconscious
from the effects of the deadly gas,
Connolly was removed to the hospital,
and will be all right in a few days
while Connors recovered entirely in 8
few hours.

The farmers are to be looked after,
says the Pittsburg Post, in the way. of
humbuggiug them. In the occasional
ghmpses we get of the progress making
on the new tariff bill we often come
across the statement that ''the interests
of the agricultural class are to be looked
after" and there will be restoration of
the Mckinley duties on farm products
With corn in use as fuel in the
big grain belt and begging for buyers at
II cents a bushel, what benefit is there
likely to come to the farmer of an in
creased protective" duty amounting to
80 per cent. instead of the Wilson rate
of 10 per cent? The idea of making the
agricultural class prosperous by tariff
taxes on articles of which we import
none, except for seed purposes, is the
most bald-faced attempt at humbug ever
devised in this country, and we lead the
world in ingenious humbug in politics
and legislation. The farmer wants
wider foreign markets and untaxed ne.
| cessaries of life, so that he will not be
continually selling in the cheapest mar
ket and buying in the dearest, thu:
| burning the candle at both ends
American agriculture is depressed be
cause it has been subjected to such bur
dens for the last 80 years. 1t is to b,
said, however, that when it comes to vo
ting the farmer rather enjoys bein,
humbugged.
1t Is true we import large class of ag
ricultural products, but they are such ar
ticles as are not produced in this coun
try at all, or not in sufficient amounts t,
meet the demands for consumption. Ii
1896 the excess of agricultural export
over imports was S19O,OOO,OOO. OF tn
| imports sugar, tea and coffee aggregate,
nearly 5000, 900, 600 of the total. w
imported but 81, $50, coo of breadstuffs
while we exported $141, $50, 600 and We
our wise Legislators propose big tax o.
the importation of breaGstuffs as a meas
ure of relief to the farmers. Our export
of cotton and cottonseed oil during tn
same time was 1896, 100000. Woul
a duty on wheat and corn help tn
northern farmer, or tax on cotton al
the southern farmer? These figure
show how dependent our crops of bread
stuffS and cotton are upon a foreis
! market

The decision of Judge Mcllvalne, IN
the Washington county court, regard
ing gas leases, is one OF great import
ance to the owners and lessees of oil and
gas bearing territory. The facts IN the
case were these. Ten years ago nat
ural gas company took 2O-year lease
on a piece of land, drilled well, and
produced gas. In two years 1t was eX-
hausted and no more wells were drilled.
After allowing the land to lie idle eight
years, the company began to deepen the
original hole, in the hopes of finding
another pocket of gas. The lessor helc
that the long abandonment had worked
a forfeiture of the lessee's rights; ne
sued for dcmages and an order restrain
ing the lesse from trespassing on hi
laud. The court decided that the leas'
holds good and that the lessor has th'
right to operate until the expiration o
the lease.

SENATOR DANIEL has made point
against the arbitration treaty which may
result in arraying the silver senators sol
idly against It's ratification. The point
is that f.the United States should adopt
the free coinage of silver while that
treaty was in force. England could put
in her claim for the difference between
the value of principal and interest of
American debts held in England, under
WE wish to call the attention of those
American citizens who are making sar-
castle and sardonic remarks about the
return of Mckinley prosperity and
the advance courier of prosperity and
all that sort of thing, says the Harris
burg Patriot, that they are making a
grave mistake. They should read the
| history of the past seven years, not that
they need know everything that is writ
ten in the name of history, to grasp and
realize the fact that Mckinley prosperi-
ty is here.
Immediately after the passage of the
Mckinley law in 1890 wages began tc
fall, as they have in many cases since
McKinley's election, The contrast tC
these being wage increases because ot
the operation of the Wilson law. ln
1890 mills began to close, and since the
majors election mills that had never
closed before shnt down. When tina
high tariff bill became law, banks be
gan to fail and much rascality was dis
closed Since last November there has
been a long procession of bank failures
and defalcations. When the Mckinley
bill was in preparation manufacturer
went to Washington and told congress
men what tariffs they wanted, and thes,
were placed in the law subsequently en-
acted; and this is being done now. AT
ter the enactment of the law, manufaC
turers, who got what they wanted in tn
way of protection to American labor,
cut down the wages of their employees
The men now most loudly insisten
upon tariff for the protection of Amer
lean labor" are the very ones who mad
these wage reductions. After the Nc
kiney bill was passed soup house
, hourished and charitable association
did large business; this state of affair
; is again coming into prominence.
, There has been only one kind of Nc
Kinley prosperity, and it was misfor
t tune to industries and hardsships t
workingmen. The country would rath
er have the fortune it is enjoying unde
the Wilson law, with a favorable balanc
of trade Of 1929, 600, 600 The onl
i prosperity Mckinley can give US is here
: but nobody is enjoying it, and highe
: tariff will not make it more palatable

Steamer and 80 Men Lost,

st. Johns, \. February S.-The
Steamer NImrod, which went out in
search of the missing steamer State of
Georgia, is frozen in an ice foe five miles
south of Cape Race. Two of her crew
came ashore over the ice to-day to re-
port that the Nimrod had found no trace
of the missing steamer after steaming
40 miles north. The general opinion
that the State of Georgia has gone down
with all on board go men. nearly all
residents of Aberdeen, Scotland) is
strengthened by the report from the
Nimrod.
A dispatch from Ferry Land reports
an unknown steamer frozen in the ice
twenty miles off that place She is
about forty miles north of where the
Nimrod is frozen in.
