Cuban Insurgents Won a Victory In

The engagement the Spanish had with
Gen. Rodriguez in the Purgatori Hills
which was reported as a decisive Spanish
victory, turns out to have been the re-
verse. The Spanish columns encounter
ed the insurgents and attacked sharply,
relying on their superior force. The reb-
els retreated toward their camp and sue
ceeded in playing their old trick of draw
ing the Spanish into an ambuscade. Gen.
Castillo arrived with re-enforcements
while Rodriguez was engaging the Span
ish and fell on their flank. The fighting
lasted five hours, and in killed, wounded
and prisoners the Spanish lost $50 men.
News comes from Santiago to Cuba that
200 volunteers, headed by priest and
prominent physician, have Joined the In

with the conduct of the Spanish authori-
ties and believed that Garcia would sue
coed in maintaining his supremacy in the

continues to command attention. -Four
cruisers and several gunboats have been
ordered there to land force to march on

Homes of counterfeiter..


Out of the arrest of John Hill, alias
Wilson, made Saturday by the Chicago
police, came Monday the discovery of q
counterfeiting plant which had been in
active operation for three years and which
the Government had spent $1,000 trying
to find. 1t was located in Benton Har-
Dor, Mich, in the cellar of the residence
of one Of the most respected men in the
town
BY the light of tallow candles, officers
of the United States secret service CROPPED
about in the cellar until they collected in
q pile every article of the plant. They
then transferred the mass to a train
bound for the headquarters in Chicago.
Capt. Porter, grimy with the long search
and almost exhausted, followed il into the
train. He arrived in the city few hours
later. Once there. he declined to show the
apparatus or TO say what had become of 1t.
The owner was not at home when his
house gave up its long-keptHecret. Meth
er was he at any of the ESnton Harbor
clubs, which he has frequented us man
of leisure for three years. He could not
be found in Benton Harbor at all, and
the only clew to his whereabouts which
the secret service officials could obtain
was q vague rumor that he had recently
departed for Chicago.
While the search in the Benton Ilnraor
house was going on another was IN Fro

miles north of Niles, Mich. rlis was
being conducted by Policeman fully Of
the Harrison street station. 1t was sue

John Livingstone Of 139 Lincoln ave
nue., Chicago, met an old acquaintance in
a Clark street saloon, and shook dice with
him. He won considerable money, but
upon leaving discovered that he hai been
given counterfeit silver dollars. lie re-
ported the matter to the Harrison street
police, and later Detectives Shea and
Tully arrested John Hill, who gave his
name as Wilson. Livingstone said he
had known him for twenty years; that his
family resided in Willow Springs, and
that formerly he resided in Benton Har-
Dor, Mich.
Capt. Porter of the United States Sc
cret service was given the case. To him
Hill is alleged to have confessed that he
was disposing of the product of Mich.
gan counterfeiting mint. The police went
to Niles, and Capt. Porter, with Detec-
tives Inslow, to Benton Harbor.
The product Of these Michigan plants,
1t Is said by the Government officers, has
been spread broadcast over the country
and has caused the Treasury Department
no end Of trouble. Only the silver dollar
of 1881 was counterfeited. The work was
so we'll done that experts could scarcely
detect the bogus nature of the coin. For
the reason that several arrests remain
to be made, Capt Porter declines to dis
cuss the case, but what is accomplished
is considered the most important effected
in years.

Information concerning spring wheat in
Northwest Is far from being satisfactory,
and there are elements of uncertainty In
much of Minnesota and North Dakota
which border on Encouragement, al
though situation cannot be regarded as
hopeless one yet. Temperature has been
too low, and excessive moisture has also
hindered progress of seeding. A few
days of especially favorable weather are
urgently needed in that region. Oats
have been sown quite largely in recent
past and are making a fairly good start
in many sections, but to a large extent
the crop Is belated, and the acreage quite
likely will prove to have been lessened.
1t Is interesting to note that there appears
to be an indication of maintenance OF
area of corn this season in most regions

Hellenic Spirits DrOoptuBs
1t ID Q week since the outbreak of war
between Greece and Turkey was announc-
ed. And 1t was precisely a week after
the campaign was formally opened before
anything decisive was accomplished on
either side.
The victory of the Turks at Matt and
the subsequent evacuation of Tyrnavos
and Larissa by the Greeks Is probably tho
beginning of the end. The evacuation Of
Larissa leaves an open road for the Turk
ish invasion for nearly half the distance
to Athens. This does not mean that the
march to Athens will be an easy affair
or speedily accomplished. The Greeks
fight desperately in retreat, and when they
have lost one fight they are ready to fight
again. Under these circumstances-with
the reserves reaching the front and the
whole population aroused and armed
even the Turkish victory at Larissa will
simply mean more hard fighting along the
new line of defense which Prince Con-
stantine's forces have taken up.
An Athens correspondent believes that
the situation is not yet desperate for
Greece. A brave people that wilr' fight
as they have fought during the past week
are unconquerable in a mountainous coun-
try like the Greek peninsula, except as
the result of long campaign with over
whelming forces. If Edhem Pasha's
army follows the retreating Greeks to the

Pharsalia line of defense they will be still
farther from their base of supplies and in
a country whose every inhabitant is
deadly enemy.
But what is more likely to happen now
than anything else is the Intervention of
the great powers. No doubt these powers
have more respect for the Greeks than
they had a week ago, and it has not been
a part of their plan from the beginning to
allow either Turkey or Greece to win
decisive victory. 1t is difficult from the
tangle of conflicting kilograms to under
stand the exact position of affairs. Fol-
lowing the Greek defeat at Larissa, Lon
don opinion is almost unanimous that the
end is in sight, and this view is probably
shared by the powers, as they are already
moving to intervene.
1t is believed that Intervention will first
take the form of a suggestion of armis-
tice, to which the combatants would no
doubt agree. 1t is stated that the British
foreign Office has sent an identical letter
to each of the powers asking for their CO.
operation, and that Germany, France and
Italy have already returned favorable an
swers. AS a condition, however, Ger
many insists that Greece must promise
from the powers.
News from the front is of a character
unfavorable to the Greeks, and as result
a gloomy feeling is prevalent at Athens.
The reverses of the last few days, say dis
patches from the Hellenic capital, have
caused growing feeling favorable to the
cessation of hostilities.
When the news of the fall of Larissa
and the retreat of the Greeks was received
in Athens a council of the ministry was
hastily called, and as result it is assert
ed demand was made upon King George
to make an immediate change in the COM
mand of the troops. The order to retreat,
issued by Prince Constantine, is held to
have been inexcusable, and his purely de-
fensive tactics are blamed for the loss of
Damasi. There is a revulsion in popu-
lar feeling toward the royal family, and
sensational news may soon come from
Athens.
From Constantinople comes the news Of
concession to Bulgaria, which may quiet
the malcontents there. The Sultan is re-
ported to have promised that country
three more berats when the war is over.
Edhem Pasha has been partly consoled
for being superseded by Osman. The Sui
tan has softened the blow by comforting
upon him high decorations. The com
manders of the six divisions of the Turk
ish army now at the front have received
similar honors.

Battle of Kentucky.
w. J. Deboe was on Wednesday elected
United States Senator from Kentucky.

Martin ........ II Blackburn ...... 30
After the official declaration of the e.ec-
ton of Deboe there were such loud ,ien-
onstrations that even the telegraph Offices
in the lobby had to suspend business and
only the bare ballot could be sent out.
The excitement was intense, as it ended
a contest that has been waged since last
year. Senator Blackburn and his friends,
after fighting hard for over a year in the
regular and the extra sessions, went down
with their colors flying. The silver Demo-
Gratis conceded their disappointment and
the gold Democrats joined in the jollifica-
ton. There never was such scene in
the Kentucky State House. Senator De-
Doe proceeded to Washington at once with
his credentials, to assist in reorganizing
the United States Senate, and in the pas
sage of the tariff and other measures on
which the lines are closely drawn.

Private letters to Havana from the in
terror of Cuba report wholesale starva-
ton. Some of the cases are especially
heartrending. Children are dying in the
streets of MatanZas and babies have been
found dead in the arms of their exhausted
mothers. A correspondent who has been
through the province of Pinar del Rio has
seen whole villages of living skeletons, in
bark huts, praying for death to release
them from their suffering. Gen. Weyler
is seizing the cattle of the citizens for
the use of the troops in Santa Clara. Ra-
fael Rubio, an American citizen, lost
twenty-one head of cattle in that way.
When he complained to the Spanish au-
thorities and demanded pay for them he
was told that he was impudent to ask
Spain 10 pay for what the insurgents take
with impunity. A guerrilla corps raised
and armed and mounted by Spanish cattle
owners of Sancti Spiritus went out and
drove in 200 head of cattle to be slaugh
tered for the benefit of the needy people of
the city, but Weyler ordered all the meat
sent to Manzanillo for the soldiers. The
effect of concen tratng the country people
In fortified towns is seen in all its awful
ness in Las Villas, as the Cubans call
Santa Clara province. 1t means "the
towns" Santa Clara having many cities.
Five of the cities are Of large population.
There were $4,000 people living in the
FIVE districts, Of which these five cities are
the capitals. OF this population 100000
lived outside of the cities and the villages.
All these have been compelled to leave
their farms and move into the cities and
fortified towns In some of the latter the
people from the country districts ottnum-
Der the original population. They have
no money and if they had there is not food
enough to supply all who need 1t. Bark
huts have been built in low-lying places
and they are crowded with poverty-strick-
en- refugees. They are half naked, sick
from exposure and dying of hunger. They
are peaceful, Woodworking people. On
their farms they would be not only self
supporting but able to supply plenty of
vegetables, eggs, meat and fruit to the
starving people of the cities. Under Wey-
ler's policy of concentration the whole
100000 persons are suffering and 10000
are doomed to die for lack of food, which
they could easily obtain If allowed to
work. In some of the smaller places in
Las Villas the overcrowding is terrible.
Sitiaclato. before the order was given,
had 100 people. 1t now contains 1000,
including soldiers. The farmers ordered
in have built $50 huts, and are slowly dy-
ing off. There are dozen places like this
in the province. Weyler has had all the
cattle killed in the fields by the guerrillas.
Not pound of meat can be brought in ex-
cept for the troops. Not q druggist dares
sell any drugs or fill prescription to be
taken outside the regular fortified towns.
If a grain of quinine for suffering

to attempt the leap and was suffocated

Does Honor to the State.
The Tennessee centennial exposition Is
open to the world. An electric spark
from the telegraph key In the White
House ut Washington set the wheels in
motion at noon Saturday. 1t was the
proudest hour in the history of Tennessee
since the State came into the Union and
caused its star to be sewed In the upper
right-hand corner of the American flag.
After six years Of planning and one year
of building, all in the face of financial
depression, the White City of the South
h ready for the people Of the United
States to admire, and the crowd that sent
the turnstiles at the exposition gates
whirling for the first time was scarce able
to get inside the exposition park.
The White City of the South, washed
whittier by the rains, looked from the
hills, where the city of Nashville stands,
like a group of school girls in white
dresses sitting in a green amphitheater
ready for some fete, and the red brick
houses of the Tennessee capital across
the valley a mile and half away looked
like an audience waiting for that fete TO
begin. And no audience that waited for
