dead At HIS POST.
Spanish General Said to Have.
Persisted in Battle.
THE REPORT is UNVERIFIED
Therefore the Spaniards Deny t-Santa
Clara the Scene of Pando's Last Fight
Spanish Defeat in


New York; Dec. GA Herald dis
patch from Havana says: A report
that General Pando, who was placed in
charge OF military operations in Cuba
by General Blanco, has been killed in
an engagement with insurgents in
Santa Clara province, has just reached
Havana. This has caused the utmost
excitement in palace and social circles,
and every effort is being made to get
news from General Pando's force to
verify the startling news. =
No details OF the killing of the COM
mander have been received, but the
statement is that lie was shot in a bat
tie with insurgents while on the march
from Sagua la Grande to the southern
coast of Santa Clara. where he was to
take a ship for M%anzanillo.
Officers at the palace declare that the
story must be thoroughly confirmed be-
fore they will believe it.
General Pando's plan was to march
right through the heart of the territory
where General Gomez forces are said
to have control. simultaneously with
the report of Pando's death comes news
OF a battle near Matanzas in which, the
Spanish forces We're driven from the
field. This engagement was bitterly
fought, and it is asserted that the
losses OF the Spaniards was,yery heavy.
The anne report says the Cubans
will not allow any cane grinding; and
also that the Spanish towns DO not ia
vor grinding, because they hold the
zones of cultivation and grow tobacco
with cheap labor, which they would
lose if the reco~ncentrados return to
work on the estates.
A letter received by q local. paper
from a correspondent in the East gives
news OF big lighting last week near
Bayamo between the rebel Chief Rabi
and General Linares. General Rabi
had only 500 men when General Lin
ares had two columns. No details of
the fight are at hand, but the Spanish
loss is said to have been heavy, one col
umn being nearly destroyed.
A force OF l 1000 Spaniards, with ar
tillery, have forced the rebels into the
hills OF Pinar del Rio. They must re-
main there or come out and fight, a.
thing the Spanish commanders think
they are not likely to do. Small bands
are still moving about with great eau
ton.
Reports of the condition and move
ments of rebels in the east are most
conflicting. 1t is said that Gomez is
coming west with 40, 900 men, but it is
also said that Gomez is still at the
camp where he has been for the last 10
months. and is being attended by DR..
Candida, staff surgeon.

THE CASE CLOSED.
Consular Agent Clark, at riura, Peru,
Forced 10 Resign.

Washington, Dec. 6. - Secretary
Sherman has closed the case OF Emil
Clark, consular agent at Piura, Peru,
which attracted much attention some
months ago, by calling for the resigna-
tion of Clark. April % last, Clark
was ousted from the quarters used be-
low as the United States consular
office, and above as 4 residence. 1t
was stated that the consulate had been
sacked, the house plundered, and in
dignity put upon this government
through Its representative. The state
department promptly called on Mr..
Clark for particulars, which he said he
would furnish.
The Peruvian minister. Senior Egi-
nuern, put a different phase on the
matter. by submitting u statement that
Clark was in arrears to a considerable
amount on rent for the building; that
only the lower portion was used for
consular purposes, although he had
placed the United States coat.of-arms
on all the doors of the house, thus
using the American emblem for. igno!
BILE purposes. The courts had given a
regular decree against Clark, it was
stated, directing him to vacate the
premises for non-payment OF rent, and
in pursuance of this decree he was
elected.
Secretary Sherman waited until re-
Gently for Mr.. Clark's statement, and
as this was not furnished, after five
months, the secretary directed our
minister at Lima, Mr.. Dudley, to call
on Clark for his resignation, unless the
proofs of the alleged sacking were in
hand. Mr.. Dudley has evidently not
received the proofs, for lac has notified
the state department that he has called
on Clark for his resignation.

WORK ON PANAMA CANAL
Tho Ditch Is Said to Be One-Third
$50 Finished.

Washington, Dec. g. Consul Gen.
eral Gudger, at Panama, has made a
report to the state department on the
condition OF the Panama canal. He
says it is whispered that England is
doing all in her power to obtain control
OF the canal. France may not push
the work forward, but some other ma
ton or some other company will surely
do so if those in charge forfeit their
rights.
The canal, when completed, will ex.
tend FROM Colon, On the Atlantic, tc
Panama, OF the Pacific, "a miles. All
along the route are sheds full of new
and costly machinery. 1t is estimated
the latter has cost 500, 900, 900, and
there has been expended on the canal a
total OF 1915, 900, 900. A conservative
estimate is that the canal is about one.
third finished, but with the new ma
chinery on hand, it is said the remain
der of the work can be completed for
$40, 900, 900.

Wreck in Minnesota.

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Dec. GA coast
train on the Great Northern, west
bound, was wrecked near GAINESVILLE
last night. A switch engine at Barnes.
vile was pushing a couple of carloads
of coal up a chute. In some way the
engine refused to stop and the cars be.
gan to 90 over the t%restle, dropping %
feet. Tie engine was reversed and the
engineer and fireman jumped, and Just
as the engine reached the dropping-off
place the coupling broke and it backed
down onto the track. 1t then went
west at a furious speed for two miles,
where it struck the coast train, whose
engineer Fred Griswold. and Fireman
Carter jumped, and were badly injured.
The engines came together with ter.
rife force, demolishing both and throw
ing five cars off the track. The dam
age will reach $15, 900.

DECISION BY GAGE.
Dutch Sugars Subject TO a DISCRIMINATE
ing Duty.

80 F
Washington, Dec. 6.-The secretary
of the treasury today decided that the
Netherlands government pays bounty
on raw and refined sugars exported
from that country, and hence, under
the new tariff act, all sugars from the
Netherlands entering the United
States are subject to a discriminating
duty equal to the export bounty paid.
The exact rate OF this countervailing
duty has not vet been definitely aster-
tanned, but it is said that it will APP
proximate As cents per 100 pounds on
raw sugar and a slight advance on
those figures on refined.
1t is known that the secretary has
also come to the conclusion that the
Belgian government pays an export
bounty on sugar, and a decree TO this
effect may he expected in a short time.
The additional duties will apply
from September % last.
The amount of raw sugar imported
from the Netherlands during the last
year was over IS, 900. 600 pounds, of
which about 20, 5UO. QUO was not above
No. l6 Dutch standard. The sugar
imports from Belgium during the last
year aggregated q 1873. GOO. 900
pounds, OF which nearly l2l, 900, 600
was below No. Is.

Havana, Dec. 6.-The deplorable
condition OF the country grows more
and more apparent. Refugees and re-
concentrates are growing more and
more miserable. According to reports
from San Domingo smallpox is making
terrible ravages among the concentrates.
Since April last more than 1000 have
died in the city alone, to say nothing
OF the suburban towns, which are like
wise affected.
The local authorities take no steps
whatever to check the mortality. The
streets OF the city are thionged with
famine stricken wretches, who succumb
to disease under perhaps some lonely
porch, and sometimes fall dead in the
gutter, where they remain.

GHOST MADE HIM CONFESS.
William Kern duplicates His Sweet.
heart in the Killing Of His SRA.

Waterloo, Ia, Dec. g. - William
Kern, under arrest for the murder of
his father, Jerome Kern. has made a
confession in which he duplicates his
sweetheart, Delilah Falzo. Kern's
father opposed his marriage to the
woman, and Kern states that she
plotted killing both his parents. and
prevailed upon him to attempt the
carrying out of her plot, that they
might acquire possession OF the family's
farm and live there together.
Jerome was lured by the son into the
woods, and there the girl shot him.
The dead mans clothing was then sat.
urated with oil and set on fire.
Kern was scared into his confession
by detectives, who haunted him in the
guise OF a ghost OF his father. He also
confessed that the murder of his
mother was to have been accomplished
at a later date.
