However. the Secretary was Of the

insurgents any advantage. Gen. OTIS
would receive any messenger and tsten
TO him and make answer 10 his pro-

military operations in the slightest de-

no ground, no matter how the negOtia-

ity also that the insurgents may have
become disheartened at the renewed

reinforcing Gen. Otis, and concluded in
view Of the great force gathering to

that further resistance would be use

companions, and finally were obliged
to return 10 the ship without them

WAS CORNELIUS CUT 0FF'
Newport Hears So, and That il Was Owing 10 His
Mothers Opposition.

The impression is growing in New
port that Cornelius Vanderbilt really
cut off his eldest son with something
approaching the proverblal shilling.
AS the story goes Il was not the un-
relentirg sternness of the father that
has presumably shifted the control of
the fortune from the eldest living soft
OF the family, but the antipathy of the
mother To the wife chosen by her son.
ON excellent authority ii may be said
that Cornelius Vanderbilt was, at any
time. wiling to embrace his son and
overlook the Objectionable marriage,
but that Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Sr.
stood I'm 1he way.
She il was, the report goes, who IN
cited the opposition tc the wedding in
the first place, and she IL was who kept
father and son apart after the latter
had i'm defiance OF parental opposition
married the girl Of his choice.
