HAVANA, March 14-Several en- agreements are officially reported in Pinar del Rio, Havana, Matanzas and Santa Clara provinces. General Blanco has sent an official cable to the Min ister of War congratulating Generals Pando, Varo del Key and Linares for their successful operations against the rebels at Sierra Maestro, Palma, Sori- ano Dos Palma. Juacate la Esperanza and around Camarones Rives, Bicana. Cabo, Cruz and Canto River, on March ', 8, g. 10 and Il.
 The Havana papers announce without comment that the battle-ship Iowa will pay a friendly visit to Havana.
 Insurgents fired this evening on a train which left Matanzas in the aft ernoon for Havana. Two men were slightly wounded. One was George Barnum, a British subject, who lived for some years in Savannah, Ga. The other was the Civil Secretary of Ma tanzas. MT. Barnum, who was with his wife, had been stopping for some days in Havana and to-day went to MatanZas to investigate the condition of the recOncentradoeS.
 Mrs. Barnum has devoted much of her time to relief work. The train was attacked first while running between Jaruco and San Miguel, but the guer- rillas were quickly repulsed by soldiers in an armored car next to the engine. Between San Miguel and Campo Flor ida the train was attacked by another band, which was quickly driven off by the prompt work of the Spanish sol diers. Some bullets passed through the passenger car. One struck MT. Bar mum in the left shoulder, infiicting flesh wound. When the train arrived in this city he was taken to the Hotel Belot, where his wound was attended to by Dr. Dudley of the American Con- Sulate.
 Pursuing parties started immediately after the insurgents, who made toward Tapaste Hills. I understand that the raid was made by Betancourts troops.
 Wreckers recovered one of the battle ship Maine's six-pound guns to-day. and will proceed to take up the 6-inch rifles in a few days. One body was found to-day in the wreck of the Maine and some bones and clothing. The court of inquiry held a seSion to day as usual, and appears to have finished the evil dence regarding particular measure ments. as divers and wreckers were needed as witnesses The work on the wreck has proceeded more rapidly. The members of the court are unable to say when they will leave Havana. The body found to-day may be that of Her man or Herbert, as the under clothing marks show Her There are only two men lost to whom the let- ters would apply

HOLLANDS BOAT
 MAKES A LONG RUN.
Splendid Behavior of the Submarine Vessel That May Revolution
 ize Naval Warfare.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The sub marine torpedo-boat Holland left her dock at Perth Amboy to-day and made a run out into the bay. She was gone about half an hour, and, according to MT. Holland, behaved splendidly. No attempt was made to dive. When the Holland returned to her dock number of men began the work of putting in her pig iron ballast. When this work is completed it will bring the boat down to a normal water line. The Holland probably will take a short run to-mor- row or next day to test the lay of the ballast
 In an interview tonight MT. Holland said: "The experiments made with the boat show that she is a thorough success. The boat did everything l ex- pected it to do. A speed of about six miles an hour was made to-day, but the boat is capable of much greater speed than that. I shall continue to make eX- periments with her for the next two weeks, so that when I have finished them I will be perfectly sure of her. can say nothing of what disposition l shall make of the boat"

FOR IMPROVEMENT OF
 CALIFORNIA RIVERS.
Congressman Ask That Suitable Appropriation Be Made in the
 Sundry Civil Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 14-Senator Perkins and Representatives Mcguire, De Vries, Barham and Hilborn to-day appeared before the Senate Committee on Appropriations and urged that a provision be placed in the sundry civil bill allowing the appropriation made by the Legislature of California for the improvement of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers to be available without awaiting a similar appropria- tion bv the national Government. This will allow the State to begin work on these rivers at once, but 1t requires the consent of the Federal authorities as the riversl are under Federal Juris- diction.
 Senator Perkins and Representative De VrieS also asked to have the ap- propriation recommended by the Treasury Department of $S1,000 for completing the Stockton Postoffice. They will als, make an effort to have the De Vries Yosemite bill made part of the sundry civil appropriation bill.

A PLEBISCITE.

One of the American journals late
the newspapers, on the question of
retaining the Philippine Islands. Three
hundred of the leading papers were adj
dressed. One hundred and ninety-two
responded Of these eighty-four pre-
ferred American possession of the
whole group. SiXty-three preferred re-
tention only of naval station. Forty
five had no settled convictions in the
matter
The replies do not indicate any
frenzy for conquest or expansion. They
show rather that the people have sud-
denly and unexpectedly been cast into
an extraordinary situation. What is
still more significant is, the decline
of jingoism. The strong second
thought of the people is at work, and
will reach safe conclusion, as it has
heretofore in many crises. AS time
goes on, the feeling grows stronger
that the United States are morally
are bound to use their increasing ply
steal forces in the emancipation Of
the oppressed, in improving the con-
dition of the world. The press of the
Mainland discloses a feeling of reluc-
tance to restore the Philippines to the
Spanish rule, even if the islands are
not wanted by the American people.
The time that passes between the
suspension of hostilities, and the final
terms of peace gives the second
thoughts the opportunity to rise on
their feet, to pull themselves to-
gether," and cautiously blaze their
way through the dark forest Of expan-
sion. America has sent out many ex-
cellent missionaries with Bibles to
convert the wicked. She finds out, at
this late day, that some missionaries
with gatIings are also wanted. Gen.
King and his soldiers are truly mis-
sionaries in the cause of humanity
although some of the boys, being fresh
recruits, forget when they are in the
neighborhood of the saloons to behave
like old and we'll seasoned saints.

COMMISSION WORK.

The reports published in the San
Francisco papers, giving the details of
the laws drafted by the Commissioners
for the government of the Islands,
must not be regarded as accurate.
While it was not difficult to infer from
the non-committal talk of the Com
Inissioners what their tendencies were
regarding certain important and fun
damental principles of government
here, there has not been expressed so
far, we believe, any decisive opinions.
The Commission was acting on behalf
of Congress, and not for the instruc-
ton or amusement of our little COM
munity. The Commission occupied the
position, TO our people, of the rich old
merchant who took his grandson into
business with him. An old acquain-
lance asks the merchant: How do
you get on with your grandson" The
reply is: quite we'll so far. He
seems TO be satisfied with me, though
he don't hesitate to criticise my bust
ness ways Hawaii has gone into
business with the rich old Uncle Sam,
but the old gentleman must be respect
full and not feel hurt if he gets some
sharp talk once in a while.

was speaking, the banks of New York
and Boston had three dollars of gold
to one of paper in their vaults. The
west and south after all preferred to
use paper money because it was more
convenient. But then the gold was
lying in the vaults The banks did
not want it. Business men did not
want it. In fact nobody wanted il.
The trade Of the country was excellent
and healthy. If there was not enough
gold TO do the flOurishing business of
the country, why did not some one
say so, and tell the banks where to
send the gold?
Of course the existence of facts of
this kind does more TO kill wild theo-
ries of money and finance, than the
opinions of a cloud of witnesses.
At this convention, the paper read
by Louis r. Enrich of Colorado, at
tracted much attention. He stated that
the controversy over the silver stand
ard was largely due to political bust
ness, and not to convictions on econo-
mic subjects. Ex-U. S. Senator Carey
OF Wyoming made the statement that
the displacement of silver and the su-
premacy of gold was due entirely to
the operations of economic laws, and
not to legislation.
The union of the banking men of
America on broad and sufficient poll
cy in matters of finance, will be of in
estimable value, especially in the treat

seases, known as panics

requires as much labor and close atten-
ton as the farming of $50 acres of grain
land in this country The acreage of taro
lands IS comparatively small, and there
are wise regulations to prevent the con-
Solidauon of these properties into large

Lands; they won't sell them to you. Above
the rich bottom lands, where the tarO is
cultivated, are the sugar lands, and high
Ell up are the coffee lands. Above them
come the grazing lands, which are of far
less value. These conditions must be
understood before We can legislaJe on

OF American ideas and American institu-
tons. Honolulu is an American com
munity, and American spirit and Amer
lean enterprise are readily observable in
the codes of Hawaii. Their monetary Sys-
tenn is American. They have Just $1,000
600 in circulation in the Islands, and il
was all coined here. They collect their
customs much after the manner in vogue
here. Their postal system is an Ameri-
can institution. The whole atmosphere of
things is American, and the natives take
kindly to il all. They have reverence
for their former rulers and for the con-
ditions that prevailed under the monar-
chy, which is only natural. Many natives
wept when the Hawaiian flag was hauled
down, but they did not weep in bitter
ness.

THE BANKING MEN.

Tbe, men whose business it is in the
States to handle money, as bankers
and dealers in exchange are beginning
to find it mutually instructive to meet
in conference. The history OF money
or currency, during the last hundred
wears shows the indisposition of the
bankers to consult each other. AS the
bank presidents were usually selected
from rich dry goods merchants, or
wealthy real estate dealers, without
anv experience in, or knowledge Of,
banking, it followed that conventions
of bankers were occupied in swapping
ignorance The few intelligent men
who had by hard study, acquired some
knowledge OF the laws of finance were
coldly received as theorists by the
practical man who managed the bank
of which he happened to be president
on the same principles that guided him
in operating a livery stable business.
The recent convention of banking
men, known as the Monetary Con-
ference, held this year at Omaha,

ed and experienced, are gradually as

complished facts should be considered
rather than theories. The silver men
were asked some puzzling questions.
