ErOill HAVANA.

MADRID, June THE following Of
fetal despatch has been received
acre from Havana: "Col. Aldea com.
handing Spanish column, has had
some sharp fighting with a body o.
rebels who are supporting the landing
of an American force near Santiago de
Cuba. Two American warships pro
tected the landing party. The result
of the operations is not known. 1t is
supposed that the renewal of the bonn
bardment of Santiago, lasting from s &c
II o'clock, on Monday morning was in
tended to distract the attention of the
Spaniards and enable the landing to be
effected without molestation."
A later despatch from General Aldes
says not one of his soldiers was hit by
the American shells, which, he asserts
fell among the insurgents.

pirate $1,000 for the purchase of q por.
trait of ex-President Cleveland.
Lieut.. Hobson and his fellow prison.
ers OF the Merrimac are reported to be
confined in Moro Castle, Santiago.
In Cumberland the democrats as
sumed control of the municipal govern
mept yesterday and made number OF
changes in the city officers.

The wedding, t. i: is said, will take place
at Bar Harbor.
Partial returns indicate republi-
can victory 10 the Oregon general State
election yesterday. The opposing ticket
was union one of populists, demo-
Gratis and silver republicans.
In answer to numerous inquiries on
the subject, it is officially announced
that the government and not the States
will pay all volunteer troops for the
time between the dates of enlistment
and muster.
Ia the Georgia democratic primaries
held yesterday for Governor, Allen d:
Gambler carried one hundred out OF
one Hundred and thirty-seven counties
in the State. The vote was lighter
than expected.
In the House of Representatives yes
terday the election contest cases OF
Joseph Gain and Almond Roman vs..
Adolph Meyer, from the first Louisiana
district, were disposed of by the adop-
ton of the committee resolutions de-
claring that neither contestant was
elected.
General Lee has changed the name
of the volunteer camp at Jacksonville
to Camp Cuba Libre." The men ex-
press pleasure at the change, but the
Virginians are disgruntled because the
two regiments will be in separate bri
gades, the authorities having decided
to mix up North, South, East and
West in sort of Brunswick stew.
In order that the House msy be fur
nished with agreeable employment
while the leaders are maturing plans
concerning more important measures
the bill providing means whereby the
soldiers can vote in the coming Con-
gressionsl elections is to be taken up.
1t is claimed for this bill that its object
is to secure to the soldier engaged in
fighting the battles of his country his
right to vote, but the anxiety of MEM
bers to pass it seems largely due to the
fact that unless it is passed some OF
them may lose the votes necessary to
reelection.
Lieut.. Carranza and Senior Du Bose,
formerly connected with the Spanish
legation at Washington, were arrested
yesterday in Montreal in connection
with civil suits for false arrest brought

on charge of stealing the now famous
Csrrapza letter. AS stated yesterday
formal demand for the expulsion of
both Spaniards from Canada was made
in London by Ambassador Hay, but
Carranzs denies the correctness of the
translation of the letter, and this may
delay the expulsion.

TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 7, 1888.

THAT THE negroes who have gone
from this country to Liberia have ret
regarded is only natural. Indeed that
it does not require emigration to the
homes of their ancestors, but only the
REIMBURSEMENT of Recommending inhu-
euce of the superior white race to effect
such refrigeration, is wellknown to every
Southern man old enough to compare
the negroes of the present day with
those of former times. In the latter,
good deal of the trade work OF the
South was done, and well done, too, by
negroes, and though the cooking and
washing and ironing of the family ser
wants in Virginia were then the delight
of all housekeepers, they are now vile
denominations to all who like clean
clothes and enjoy good food.

TIE q. S. Senate has struck out OF
the sundry civil appropriation bill the
section providing $500 for the pur-
chase of portrait of ex-President
Cleveland. AS Presidents are no more

tion of their official terms, why the peo-
pie should be taxed to pay for their
portraits cannot be told, that is,satisfac-
torily. They have been, to be sure, in
other than the particular case referred
to, but this is as good time as any
other to break bad precedent.

As ANTICIPATED in the Gazette's
Washington correspondence, the ma
t onsl democratic committee has az
proved the action of theState democratic
committee of Pennsylvania in depasing
Mr.. Harrity from his place as the Penn
s7lvania member of the national demo
cratic committee and putting another
man in that place. This is just exactly
what should have been done. Mr..
Harrity practically deserted his party
two years ago, and if he were the right
sort of man he would not have attempt
ed to retain a position in that party.

1t isreported at Port au Prince, Hayti,
that the American squadron at Santiago
de Cuba forced the entrance to the har.
Dor of that city yesterday, The reports
also state that the Cristobal Colon and
another Spanish vessel were sunk and
that one American vessel, whose name
is unknown, was blown up. Complete
detail are lacking. The Americans are
said to have landed 1000 troops near
Santiago. These men, it is also said,
have formed junction with the insur.
gents and attacked the city. The final
result OF the fighting is not given and
these reports are denied in Washing
ton. News has been received at Hav-
ana that at o'clock yesterday morn
ing the American fleet opened can
nonade upon the forts at Santiago. The
Havana advices say that the attempt of
the Americans to land troops was re-
pulsed.
Admiral Dewey has sent cablegram
to the Navy Department stating that
the Philippine insurgents have won
several victories in Cavite province and
have captured more than l, 800 prison
ers, The Cayite arsenal has been pre-
pared for occupation by the United
States troops. From other sources it is
reported that Admiral Dewey is active
ly aiding the insurgents, who are fight
ing fiercely.
It is reported at Gibraltar that the
Spanish feet commanded by Admiral
Camara has returned to Cadiz after

THE OLD irrepressible conflict be-
tween the white and the black race ha:
broken out again, this time in New Or
leans, where an attempt has been made
by Northern U, S. officer to obliterate
race distinctions between laborers EN-
ployed on government work. In the
North, it may be, that white men and
negroes can work together on terms o.
social equality, but such a condition
has not yet been reached in the South,
and, for the good of this section, it is
hoped it never will be.

THE SPANISH war has been in prog
ress fer two months, and though its ex'
pense has been enormous, its end seems
TO be as far of as ever. There has as

times as much as that of the first two
months OF the war between the States
That war was for the preservation OF

FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, June I
SENATE.

After the transaction ofroutine morn
ing business the bill for the protection
of the Indian territory was laid before
the Senate to-day.
Mr.. Bate thought the bill ought to 20
over as it was clearly violation Of ali
the moral and legal obligations of the
government to the Indians OF the terri.
tory and to the white citizens who had
gone there to live. The bill, he said
took away from the Indians their courts
and violated every treaty that had ever
been made with them by the govern
ment.
The reading of the Indian bill was
interrupted and the Senate concurred
in amendments made by the House to
the war and navy urgency deficiency
bill passed yesterday.
At 2 o'clock the unfinished business
the census bill, was temporarily laid
aside in order that the Indian bin
might be completed.
Mr.. Quay presented the report OF the
conferees on the post Office appropf
alton bill and it was agreed to.
HOUSE.
The House to-day passed a bill di.
recting the Secretary of War TO return
to the State of Ohio the flags carried in
the civil war by the 21st, 5Sth and 60 h
regiments of Ohio infantry and to New
York the flags of the 113th infantry
and the 7th heavy artillery.
Mr.. Cannon called up the urgent war
deficiency bill, with amendments as
passed by the Senate, and moved 10
concur in the Senate amendments and
add two House amendments providing
$4,000 for additional printing in the
Navy Department and for work in the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
The motion prevailed.
The Senate resolution was passed au.
thorizing the President to waive the
one-year suspension from promotion
and order REORGANIZATION in the army
in certain cases during the existing war.
Mr.. Cannon, from the committee on
appropriations, presented conference
report of partial agreement upon the
sundry civil bill, which was agreed TO.
Mr.. Cannon then moved generally
further insistence of the House upon its
disagreement to the remaining amend
ments of the Senate, but withdrew ii al
the suggestion of Mr.. Sayers that sep.
arate vote upon many of the amend
ments was desired and probably would
expedite disposal OF the measure.
