RELIEVING OF COL. MoULToN.
Illinois Omcer and Gen. Ludlow Fail TO
Get Along Together.

Havana, Jan. 1.-THE sensation of
the day here is the removal of Colonel
Moulton, of the Second Illinois, from
the command of the Havana police;
the probability of the appointment of
John Gary Evans to the position of
mayor of Havana, and of the appoint
ment Of Cuban as chief of police. Col
onel Moulton's transfer to his regiment
is due to incompatibility of temper
with General Ludlow, and to the lat
ter's determination to lay aside much
of Colonel Moulton's police plans. Just
how much he will discard has not yet
been discovered. Evans will not take
Colonel Moulton's place. but will eXer-
else general supervision of the police
and minor courts. The appointment of
Cuban as chief of police is being con-
sidered, and the choice will probably
fall upon General Mayia Rodriguez or
General Mario Menocal.
Colonel Moulton'S transfer also means
the return to their regiments of six in
spectors-Captain Thompson to the Sec
ond Illinois, Captain Robinson to the
First North Carolina, Captain NJ. c.
Roberts to the Forty-ninth Iowa, Lieu
tenant Jacks and Lieutenant Reynolds
to the One Hundred and Sixty-first In
diana, and Lieutenant Sneying to the
Second Illinois. Colonel Moulton has
thus far sworn in as police inspectors
the foregoing six. ten captains, and th1r-
ty patrolmen. He excited the animos-
ity of the Cubans when he engaged
some Spaniards policemen.
General Maxine Gomez, addressing
meeting of Spaniards on Sunday at
Caibarien, said: Here is the old China
man referring to his nickname1, the
incendiary. the fellow who cuts off
heads But really all that was much
exaggerated. / have made war against
Spain. not against the Spaniards. whom
/ respect and desire to see united with
the Cubans that all together may finish
the work that is now approaching an
end. Spaniards and Cubans ought to
embrace one another. forgetting the bit
terness which is already passed, never
to return. All should unite to make
Cuba free and independent"

There was an important conference
last evening between duly authorized
American and Filipino committees, at
the instance of Aguinaldo. The latter
appointed Gen. Flores. Col. AquTes and
Senior Torres Major General Otis ap-
pointed General Hughes; Colonel Smith,
of the California regiment, and Judge

the purpose of the conference was
mutual understanding of the policies,

United States and of the Philippines.
There was a frank discussion.
Washington News Is Reassuring.
Washington, Jan. lit can be stated
on authority that such news as was re-
ceived yesterday from General Otis is
rather reassuring than otherwise as to
the situation in the Philippines, and
that he made no allusion to a hostile
collision.

Purpose of Selling IIoilo.
The question has arisen here as to the
exact purpose to be served in attempt
ing to seize Iloilo. Originally il was
intended to release the Spanish force
there besieged, but by their evacuation
of that place they have removed that
incentive, and were it not for the false
encouragement it would give the insur-
gents there is little doubt that the
United States troops would not be
moved against Iloilo. Meanwhile the
navy is expected to draw a Gordon
around the island of Panay. and also

to do SO, to prevent the further supply
of arms and munitions of war to the
insurgents. Probably the gunboats

and the exhaust from gas engines in
Pittsburg is used for heating purposes.
To harness an external combustion
engine direct to the axle of a car or
locomotive offers difficulties at once,
an impact sufficient to start from a
point of rest, would wreck the machin-
cry. We can secure the energy, but
the natural travel of the pistons would
be many times faster than the speed
of the crank pin on the Empire State
express engine running at its best.
Compressed air offers a medium of
wonderful elasticity, capable of receiv-
ing the strongest impact on the one
hand, and in application ranging from
the veriest puff, gentle enough to dust
the Sunday hat, to the power sufficient
to meet the piston pressure of the
mighty ocean monarch.
The combination compressor here adj
vocated, is so constructed that very
uniform pressure is maintained between
the combustion and air cylinders, the
result of which secures to this system,
not only the highest attainment of the
steam engine, but reduces impact to
pressure, in the most efficient form.
For when the predetermined working
air pressure is reached the supply of
heat is cut off, and when the pressure
falls below the desired point, the com
and maintains the said working press
ure.
In this way all waste from the safety
valves with its attendant disagreeable
noise is avoided.
1t will be noticed that in this system
the fire-box fiue system, cinder cham
Der and smoke stack are dispensed with
and locomotives in use at the present
time can be readily equipped with this
system at comparatively small expense.
What is here said of the locomotive
is applicable to the steamship where
this system can be used with great eff
cheney and economy.
When we consider the force developed
in the internal combustion cylinder at
small expense, and know that this
power can be greatly increased, when
the mechanism is favorable to trans
INIT it with safety, that compressed air
possesses the advantage of steam, from
maximum pressure. to multiplied eX-
pansion, with a balance in it's favor. We
look to see in the near future the per-
fected motors not only on our streets
but making the longer journeys on land
and sea. Not only with the speed of the
wind but with the annoying smoke and
cinderS eliminated.

A GREAT CLERGYMAN'S IDEA OF A
RENEE A CTOR

A great clergyman has said: 1.-THE
earnest physician, who saves life and
health, is the greatest benefactor of his
race" We believe this, but we also be-
lieve that great physician becomes still
more of a benefactor of the people when
he gives his skill, his advice and counsel
to the sick without charge. This is pre-
cisely what is done by the famous Dr.
Greene of 81 Temple place. Boston, Mass,
discoverer of the wonderful medicine. DIR.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve RENE
dy, and who is the best known and GER
tainly 1.-THE most successful physician in
this country in curing diseases The
sick and those in any way out of health
have the privilege of consultation and re-
ceiving advice and counsel from this en-
inent physician without paying a fee.
That is you can write about your case
and receive carefully considered advice
and information in regard to your com
plants without charge of any kind. He
uses only harmless vegetable remedies in
his treatment of diseases, and it is by
means of these wonderful health-giving
medicines that he is enabled to make the
marvellous and astonishing cures which
have made his name a household word all
over the United States Write to him at
once. for this is certainly your great OPP
portunity to be cured
