insurgent forces under Gen. Garcia,
and the formers 5000 passed
the latter's 1900 and went into
Santiago. Ii is said that Gen. Lii
Mares effective force now numbers
1000. The enemy made two sor-
ties Saturday night and Sunday
morning, but we're driven back.
The loss on our side in killed and
wounded up to Sunday morning
was about 1880; that of the enemy
was very heavy. The refugees re-

Gen. Wheeler was seriously ill, but
against the protest Of his surgeon
was carried 10 the front, mounted
his horse and commanded his cav
airy division. Gen. Young became
so III of fever that his surgeon sent
him back to Florida as the only
mems of saving his life. Gen. Haw-
kins and Acting Brig. Gen. Wood
(Col. of the Rough Riders) were
both sick, but not seriously so.
Four hundred of Admiral Cerve-
rae men were killed ashore in las,

The Philippine insurgents en-
ploy an ingenious expedient to save
their ammunition and cause the
Spanish to waste theirs. They use
fire crackers at night near the lat

kerry and blaze away, whcreupon
the rebels fall upon them and rout
them with machetes.

PREPARING FOR WAR
Unwonted Activity at the
New York Arsenal.
AMMUNITION STORES INCREASED
Shipment OF Shells and Other ProJec-
tiles to iiarbor Notifications
Twenty New Mortars.

New York, March 5.--There is n
continuance of unwonted activity at
the New York arsenal. The shipping
of shells and other projectiles, to the
Notifications about the harbor con-
Times. AT army headquarters there
are no new developments, and no or
ders out OF the customary routine are
expected. 1t is said that q battery of
20 l2-inch mortars will be soon re-
ccived at Sany Hook for testing before
they are forwarded to the points tor
which they are destined. There are Il
number of unmounted guns at the
proving-grounds awaiting the contsruc-
ton of carriages. The supply of am
munition has been increased in all the
magazines, and is so arranged that it
can be made Immediately available.
The men at the posts seem much
more pleased at the work they have to
do than when the guns lay idle and in
q condition unfit for active use. At
Sandy Hook, however, there is Il slight
complaint among the men, who say
that too much work is expected of too
small force.
A large consignment of ammunition,
including powder and proiectiles, is
ready for shipment at the ordnance de-
partment in the Brooklyn navy-yard.
Commander Swift. who has charge
of the Department., superintendent the
work of packing. Commander Swift
has received instructions from WASH
ington to forward the supplies as soon
as possible to Key West, whence they
will be distributed among the United
States war vessels now in that neigh
borhood. When asked if the consign-
ment was not an unusually large one,
Commander Swift replied that it is
not, and that when it had been divided
up between the several ships none OF
them will have more than the regular
complement in her magazines. Many
of the projectiles are for guns of large
caliber.
AS yet no information has been re-
ceived as to what disposition is to be
made of the guns which have recently
been shipped to the yard from Washing
ton. These guns are of different sizes,
and as neither the Chicago nor the At
lanta, which are being overfauled at
the yard, will be ready to receive the
guns for at least six months, it is ru-
mored that they are for auxiliary YES
sells.

a DUEL WITH SWORDS.

Rome, March S.-Signor Felice
Carlo Cavalotti the poet, dramatist,
publicist and well-kfown radical menu
Der of the chamber of deputies for Cor
teiona. was killed here this afternoon
in a duel with swords with Signor Ma
cola. member OF deputies and editor OF
the Gazzetta iii Ncnczia The encoun-
ter was the outcome OF a press polem'
les in the columns of the Milan Secolo
at an unirequented spot outside the
Porta Magorc. Sisnor Macola's sec
onds were Deputies Slgnor Guido Flu
sinato, a professor at the university of
Turin and member of F0ltrc, and
Signor Bizzoni, the puhicist, and
Signor Tassi, member of the chamber
OF deputies.
Shortly before the meeting, Signor
Cavalotti seemed in excellent spirits,
and even joked with his seconds.
When the word was given, he attacked
his opponent vigorously. The first
two engagements Were without result,
but in the third, Signor Cavalotti re-
ceived thrust in the throat that
severed his iugular vein.
AT first, it was thought he was only
slightly injured, but the gravity of the
wound was soon perceived on his put
ting his hand to his mouth. He with
drew it covered with blood and could
not utter word. The doctors and his
seconds carried him to Zellino, and
laid him in bed i'll the residence of
the Countess Celiro. There, tracheot-
omy was performed, and artificial
breathing attempted, but all efforts
were useless. Signor Cavalott expired
in 10 minutes, without speaking again.
Slgnor Macola did not receive 4 scratch.
The news, on reaching the city,
caused a great sensation. Numerous
deputies and friends hurried to the
sccnc, and there is universal regret over
the death OF Cavulotti.

PROCTOR FULLY POSTED.
Has Seen the Darkest Side OF the Cuban
Situation.

Havana, March "a naval officer
here today, in reply to a suggestion that
it was a pity such an important decision
as the verdict of the court OF inquiry
into the Maine explosion should rest
solely upon the testimony of divers,
who seemed men Of only average intel
ligence, replied:
"The court of inquiry has not had to
depend upon divers testimony alone"
Then, realizing that he had said more
than he intended, the officer resumed
his habitual reserve. 1t is believed that
the testimony of Lieutenant Com
mander Wainwright was highly impor-
tant as bearing on the question of the
existence OF submarine mines.
Senator Proctor has seen much in
short time, and there is good authority
for saying that he will make the results
of his observations known in a strong
speech in the senate on his return to
Washington. Senator Proctor, however,
said to a correspondent:
"Certainly a peculiar state OF affairs
exists. Residents OF Matanzas told me
that if | wished to correspond with
General Gomez they would send my
letter to him and have an answer back
in a short time.

Seattle, March s. - The steam
schooner Lakmc, which arrived this af-
ternoon from Alaska, brings the news
that the steamer Corona, which went
on a rock at Lewis island, was foated
last Thursday evening. The Corona is
considerably injured, the worst place
being under the forward hatch, where
point, her keel is turned over for 20
feet. This can be temporarily fixed
from the inside. After entering and
clearing at Victoria, the Corona will
be brought to Port Townsend, where
her cargo will be unloadcd. Captain

MAXIMUM RATE CASE.
The Nebraska State Law Is Declared
Invalid.

InNaIlu.
Washington, March 9.-.Justice IIar-
Ian today delivered an opinion in the
Nebraska maximum freight rate case.
He held the Nebraska law to he con.
trary to the 14th amendment, in that it
authorized the taking of property with.
out the process of law and was there
fore invalid. Hence the railroad Won.
Justice tIarlan's opinion affirmed the
opinion of the circuit court OF appeals
of the eighth circuit, which was agar st
the maximum freight rates law favora-
bic to the railroads.
This case was instituted to test the
validity of the law passed by the Ne
braska legislature in 1898, prescribing
the maximum rates for sportation
of freights by railroads within the
state The decision sustains the CON
tention of the railroad companies and
holds against the validity OF the law.
The opinion was based largely upon
the charge of unreasonabeness. jus
tice Brewer made computation show
ing that the reduction effected in the
freight rates amounted on an average
to 20 . per cent, which he held was
too great Il change.
The case has been twice argued in
the supreme court, Hon. W. J. Bryan
appearing as one of the counsel for the
state at the last hearing.

ALASKA BILL. PASSED.
Concessions Given Canada in Lieu of
Certain Privileges.

Washington, March 7.-After de-
bate lasting several days, the senate
late this afternoon passed the bill ex-
tending the homestead laws and pro-
yiding for right of way for railroads in
the district of Alaska. Comparatively
little discussion of general interest was
created by the bill. Section ID, pro-
viding for certain bonding concess ions
to Canada, i'll lieu of privileges to be
extended by the Dominion government
to this country, however, induced a
rather lively debate, us it brought into
the controversy the old fisheries ques-
ton on the New England coast, which
has been pending between the United
states and Great Britain for 100 years.
The statement was made on the floor
OF the senate that there was every rea-
son to believe that by the passage of
the bill the fisheries question could be
settled without great effort, as assur-
ances to that effect had been received
from large and influential elemen in
Canada,

ON A BIG CONTRACT.
Cramps Reported to BE Figuring With
Foreign 'iaval Power.

Philadelphia, March 8. The North
American Review prints the following:
While the attention of the public dur
ing the recent war scare has been for a
time diverted from the Cramp shipyard
to League island, yet it is safe to assert
that the kensington firm of shipbuild-
ers is at this moment on the eve of Sc
curing a foreign contract OF sensational
proportions. Although the members Of
the firm maintain the utmost secrecy
on the subject, it is a fact that during
the week just passed a force OF draughts-
men has been working on plans and es-
Inmates almost continuously.
These plans and estimates, it is said,
are being drawn up for the considera-
tion of foreign power, and include II
tirst-class shipyard such rs is operated
by the Cramps, besides several battle
ships and cruisers. Although the name
of the foreign power Is being Kept a
secret, it is generally understood by
those in a position to know that the
plans and estimates will eventually
find their way to Russia.

Port Townsend, March s. - The
eight-ton schooner Anna Catharine put
into this place last night en- route from
San Francisco to Alaska. When the
schooner left the Golden Gate, nearly
three months ago, she carried five
persons, four men and one woman. On
the way up the coast the little craft
came near being wrecked, and was
forced to put into Tillamook, where the
woman deserted and returned to san
Francisco. Fresh supplies were taken
on her today, and the schooner headed
for the north.
