ments-Insurgcnts fnfilct Big Losses on

KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. 6.-Advices
from Havana received by Cuban lead
ers here are to the effect that there
was a bloody engagement on New
Years day between Spaniards and in.
surgents near Cartagena, town inthe
western part of Matanzas province.
Near Cartagena were encamped 200
Spaniards under Col. Rosi, who had
been ordered to prevent the vanguard
of Gomez from crossing the Rio Con
zalo. On New Years day the Spaniards
were attacked by 1000 Cuban infantry
and 500 cavalry. The Spaniards held
strong position and had four field
pieces, but the Cubans made a direct
charge. The insurgents, however,
were repuised.
The Cuban commander then ordered
his cavalry to turn the flank of the
Spaniards and attack them from the
rear. This maneuver was executed
and as the cavalry charged the Span
iards from the rear the Cuban infantry
attacked in front. The Spanish forces
broke and fed, being pursued by the
Cubans almost to Cartagena. 1t is said
IL Spanish officers We're killed, includ-
ing Col. Rosi. 1t is also reported that
140 Spanish privates were killed and
nearly 200 wounded. The Cubans are
said to have lost 80 killed and about 90
wounded. The Cubans captured the
four field pieces and many small arms.
Havana advices also report that the
Spaniards under Col. Segura have been
routed in Pinar Del Rio by the Cubans
under Gen. Rivera, who succeeded
Maceo. 1t is stated that Col. Segura
witt. 1000 men attempted 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 until caught by an en-
filading fire, which threw them into
confusion. Rivera then ordered a
charge and Seguras broken ranks were
swept down the hills with frightful
loss. Rivera pursued the Spaniards
till nightfall. 1t is claimed that Segura
lost nearly 500 killed and 400 wounded,
while the Cuban loss was small. When
the news reached Havana it was sup
pressed and Spanish officials spread
the story of Riveras death to counter
act the effect of the story of the dis
aster to Segura.

ucts are Made by Agriculturists.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The seventh
days session of the ways and means
committee found the room well filled
with those interested in the agricul-
tural schedule. f. H. Rockwell,
Warren, Pa, engaged in raising, feed
ing and fattening cattle in Kansas and
Mexico, was the first speaker. He said
that under the Mckinley law cattle
could not be imported from Mexico, as
the tariff was prohibitive.
Representative Curtis, of Kansas,
asked for duty of $40 per head on cat
tie one year old and over, and of 81 per
head on those under one year. The
Kansas raisers and feeders, he said,
were injured by the Importation of
Mexican cattle. 1t prevented them
from raising stock themselves. If the
duty given by the Mckinley law were
restored the Kansas farmers would an
dertake to raise their share of the cat
tie of the country. They would furnish
better article without raising the
price.
Representative Bowers, of Califor-
mia, said that the Mexican trade had
destroyed the industry in southern
California and then took up the mat
ter on which he appeared-the fruit
trade. 1t was, he said, in the interest
of the raiser and producer to raise the
present rates on fruit. The law af-
forded no protection to the growers
and did not yield any revenue to speak
of. On raisins, prunes, plums and all
dried fruits he asked duty of three
cents per pound.

suMATRA LEAF THEIR FOE.

Growers and Manufacturers of Domestic
Tobacco Tell congressman How the I'm
ported Article Cripples Their Business.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 5.-Tobacco and
manufactures thereof, being schedule
f of the existing tariff law, was the
subject of the hearing Monday before
the committee on ways and means.
The National ASSOCIATE of Cigar Man
ufacturers was represented by six gen.
tlemen and the leaf tobacco board OF
trade of New York was also repre-
sented.
Michael Tobin, of Baldwinsville, n.
Y, was the first speaker For years,
he said, until Sumatra tobacco gained
foothold in the United States, the to-
bacco growers had been reasonably
prosperous. Up to within few years
the tobacco section of New York grew
50, 900 cases of tobacco annually, while
now the production had fallen to about
-, 900 cases. 1t was not fair, he added,
that their dangerous rival, the Holland
yndicate-employing labor at 10 or 12
cents a day, should be allowed to an
initiate and ruin a domestic industry
of such magnitude.
Duser, who said he represented the
tobacco growers of the Chemung val
ley, which comprised few counties in
southern New York and few of tho
northern counties of Pennsylvania. He
argued that 81 pound on wrappers,
while an apparently eXorbitant tax ad
valorem, was really not eXorbitant
When the difference in the cost of labor
was taken into consideration.
How is it," Mr.. McMillin dem,
Tenn.) asked, after the witness had
made q rather long political argument,
"that Sumatra tobacco which costs
s1.aO pound drives out domestic to-
bacco which costs from 10 to 15 cents a
| pound?"
1T is because" the witness an
swered, "of the foolishness of the
American people in thinking that be-
cause thing is imported it is of neces-
| sity better"
Mr.. McMillin-YoI think that is all
| there is in it?
The Witness-That is all there is in
it. 1t is fad.
The witness suggested Sc pound as
the rate of duty which he would like
to have imposed.
II. S. Frye, of Windsor, Conn, ad-
dressed the committee on behalf of the
interests of the tobacco growers OF
New England. "The only salvation OF
the tobacco industry of New England
is duty on tobacco high enough to
protect what little is left of the home
market to the domestic producer" he
said.

PROFIT IN ARMoR PLATES.
The Secretary of the Navy Shows that the
Bethlehem and Carnegie Companies Have
Made Good Thing Out of Government
Contracts.

Bethlehem and Carnegie Com panies Have
Made n Good Thing Out of Government
Contracts.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-The secretary of the
navy yesterday sent in his report to congress
on the subject OF armor plate. Congress di-
fected the secretary to examine into the actual
cost of armor plate and the price for the same
which should be equitably paid. The report OF
the secretary sets forth the results of his in
vestigaton. Immediately after the passage o
the act the secretary called upon the two con
tracing companies, the Bethlehem Iron Co. oi
South Bethlehem, Pa, and the Carnegie Steel
Co, requesting that they give him the required
information.
The two companies declined to give informa-
ton, upon the ground that it was unusual for
congress to inquire into the business of private
corporations. They, however, in October made
statements as to the cost Of their plants and
furnished suggestions to the secretary as to
the methods which should be used in estlmat-
ing the cost OF armor and OF their investments
in the armor plants. The secretary called to-
gether board composed of Lieuts. Rohrer,
Miles and Ackerman two OF whom had been
inspectors OF armor at the Bethlehem ca. s
iron works. the other, Alderman. had been
connected with the manufacture Of steel for q
number Of years and had been on duty in the
bureau of ordnance. They made report upon
the cost OF labor and material entering into the
cost of a ton OF armor The result OF their
calculation was that the cost OF the labor and
Ton Vi IOFBcu DhTNeSlZcu ulChGl
steel armor was Sl67.3l The government now
pays over t4OO q ton.
The secretary sent an officer to Harrisburg,
Pa. who secured copies of the returns from
the Bethlehem Co, showing their capital and
dividends from 1850 to November l. 1885 This
information was all from the company itself
and from it the secretary prepared a statement
showing that whatever may have been the cost
of the armor plant and the gun plant, whatever
may have been paid for the secrets Of manufac-
ture or for patents, or whatever was the in
terest on working capital all those and other
charges have been paid from the gross earn
ings OF the company and the results show that
the companys investment in plant 10 make
armor and gun steel for the government have
been returned with - per cent. thereon.
Dhe secretary shows. that the Carnegie Co.
will have been on July l, 1897, repaid every dol
lar it claims to have expended on its plant and
will have made profit on its investment up to
the time when that investment extin-
guished by the repayment OF the money OF 10
per cent The secretary recommends that |!
congress shall determine upon any limit OF
price to be paid for armor 1t shall also give the
secretary OF the navy power to erect or buy an
armor plant and gun plant and. If need be, to
lease such p ant or plants until it can construct
