WE SEE by an exchange that
James E. Campbell, of Ohio, is
critically ill in New York. Let's
see, who is Jim Campbell? Sure
enough, he did at one time figure
in the politics of Ohio, and in 1896
permitted himself to be secured
bodily in the scheme of Brice to
pull Ohio back into the Democratic
ranks on gold platform, and thus
insure the reelection of the New
York Senator from Ohio, but the
scheme would not work with the
honest Democracy of the State and
Campbell was ignomineously de-
feated for Governor. At the Dem.
ocratic State convention the next
year, the picture of Brice was not
permitted in the hall, and when
Campbell entered and seated him
self in box, he was vigorously
hissed from all parts of the con-
vention. 1t is constance, we say,
that Brice, the great boodler, has
just died in New York, and Camp
bell, his good-man-Friday, is lying
critically i'll in the same city.

Joe Cans whip. Jsek DAILY.

New York, Dec. 29.-Joe Cans, the
colored lightweight of Baltimore, re-
ceived the decision of Referee Charley
White at the end of twenty-five round
glove fight with Jack DAILY, of Whining
ton, at the Lenox A. G. Tuesday night.
In science and generalship Cans gave a
superb exhibition. For nearly twenty
rounds he outpointed DAILY, with con-
siderable to spare. Daly's strength,
which at one time seemed to be wan
ing, came back in the last five rounds,
which enabled him to make very
strong finish. But on points, which Is
to say blows landed, head work, shift
ness and style, Cans had an undoubted
advantage, which forced the referee to
make the ruling.

Nlneteen Years for Moore.

New York, Dec. 29.-In the Court of
General Sessions Recorder Golf sem
fenced William A. E. Moore, who was
convicted of "badgering" Martin
Mahon, proprietor of the New Amster-
dam Hotel, at the Grenoble Hotel on
November 4, to nineteen years in Sing
Sing. The two trials undergone by
Moore and the one undergone by his
wife, Fayne Strahan Moore, who is now
awaiting second trial, the jury having
once disagreed In her case, have been
among the most sensational in General
Sessions in many years. Justice DAILY
in the Supreme Court later granted a
stay of execution of sentence passed on
Moore until motion could be argued
for the granting of a certificate of rea-
sonable doubt in order to enable an ap-
peal to be taken.

London.-Th correspondent of the

Of the contents OF the Papal encyclical

best of reasons for doubling whether
the encyclical has yet been sent.
London.-A despatch to the Times
from st. Petersburg says that the FL

Russia ever solicited money in the
United States or that she requires a

doubt that the Minister of Finance re-
ceived offers from America to float a
loan.

Instructions to Gen. Otis.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Instructions
Of a positive character that may bring
about a conflict between the Filipino
forces and United States troops have
been sent by the War Department to
Major-Gen. Otis, in answer to de-
spatch from the General telling of the
evacuation of Iloilo, capital of the ISL
and of Panay, by the Spanish garrison
and its occupation by the Filipinos be-
fore the American troops got there. 1t
is understood that Gen. Otis was direct
ed to inform the commander of the
Filipino force at Iloilo, through the Off
GER in command of the United States
detachment sent to occupy that place,
that if Iloilo were not evacuated peace
ably by the insurgents the American
troops would proceed to occupy it by
force if necessary. Brig Gen. Miller
is in command of the expedition sent to
Iloilo. His troops consist of the Eigh-
teenth Regular Infantry, the Fifty-frst

An Awkward Situation.

The situation in the Philippines is
getting more interesting daily. By
the treaty of peace with Spain we
have pledged ourselves to the release
of the Spaniards held prisoner by the
insurgents. But the insurgents re-
fuse to release the Spanish prisoners
unless heavy ransom, and it is be-
coming a question whether the Uni
ted States should pay the exhorbi-
tant demands Of the insurgents or at.
tempt to rescue the Spaniards by
force. In the latter case it is safe to
assume that the fate of the prisoners
will be quickly settled. If the insur-
gents cannot get money satisfa ction
they will satisfy their vengeance on
their former oppressors in their own
fashion. In that event what can the
United States say to Spain?
The insurgents were besieging Ilo-
ilo and the Spanish commander sent
word to Madrid that he was in great
peril. An American force was sent
from Manila to receive the surrender
of the Spanish garrison and remove
them to a place of safety. Before
the Americans could get there the
Spaniards had abandoned the place
and sought safety in another post
which is strongly fortified.
The Spanish flag has been replaced
by the insurgents flag at Iloilo and
the question Is what the American
force will do about 1t. 1t is not ex-
pected that the insurgents will haul
down their flag and admit the Amer
leans. On the contrary they will
probably repeat the American tactics
at Manila ana notify the Americans
to keep outside the lines. AS the in
surgents largely outnumber the ex-
pedition sent from Manila, and the
depth Of water will not permit large
psval vessels to come mp to the sup

port of the American troops, the sit
uation is likely to prove embarrass-
ing.
The authorities at Washington are
represented as feeling uncomfortable
over the news from Iloilo. The prob
abilities are that good deal Of dis
quieting news will be coming from
the Philippines. Those who put
their hands into horn cts nest must
expect some Observation-Disclosures

Spanish Navy for Revenge ?

Havana, Dec. 30.-The officers of the
Spanish Navy who are about to leave
Cuba have issued proclamation. They
say that on leaving Cuba, where the
Spanish flag has waved for 400 years,
they feel impelled to utter the words

tions. The proclamation intimates that
some time in the future the Spanish
Navy may have an opportunity to
avenge the losses it sustained during
the war.

PRESTIGE AND POWER.
Dinner Given at Her House Monday
Night Has Been Ascertained to
Have Been Meeting of Schemers
to Induce Army to Revolt In Fa-
vor of Monarchy.
Especial to The HeraldO }

New York, June PA Paris special
says that dinner given at the house
of Countess de Castellane formerly
Anna Could last night was attended
by some of the most prominent men,
bers of the French aristocracy. II was
given out and reported as a strictly
social affair, but today the fact that
those present We're openly avowed enc
mics of the republic caused suspicious
to be aroused.
1t is now declared that the dinner
was but a meeting of conspiratorS who
are plotting to overthrow the French
republic by endeavoring TO induce the
army to revolt in favor of monarchy
at the coming grand military review.
The Countess de Castellane is one of
the most vigorous royalists in Paris At
the demonstration at the races of the
Automobile club. during which Presi-
dent Loubet was assaulted she is re-
ported as having led a band of royal
lists, shouting ''Vive la armie'' Her
husband subsequently denied this. but
it is still asserted that she and her
friends present were enthusiastic over
the demonstration.
The immense wealth of the cchntess
gives her power and prestige among the
royalists, and she is regarded as one
of the leaders of the movement against
the republic.
