HOl'SE.
Washington. Jan. 7.—Another brief ses-
sion of the house was held to-day at which
the only important business transacted was
the admission of the new member from the
state of Utah, Mr. Allen, and the adoption
of resolutions calling upon the attorney
general for information concerning the en-
forcement of the anti trust law and for
recommendations on new legislation on the
subject, and on the secretary of the treas-
ury for statistics concerning the seal nail-
eries of the Bering sea. To-morrow it Is
expected the house will take up the consid-
eration of the new code of rules, as it is
said the committee expects to make a re-
port by that time.
HOl'SE PROCEEDINGS.
Washington, Jan. 7.—Mr. Loud (H) of
California reported from the committee on
postoffices a. resolution calling upon the
postmaster general for information con-
cerning the number of clerks employed
since June 30. 1 spr». to do the work formerly
done by canceling machines, and the num-
ber of clerks in the twenty largest postol-
fices in the country whose salaries have
been reduced, the number increased and
1 lie number of new men employed since
June 30, 181'5. with reasons therefor and re-
sults in the matter of efficiency.
A report was made by Mr. Aidrich (It) of
Illinois, chairman of the committee on ac-
counts, recommending the appointment and
release of sundry minor officials of the
house. It evoked a v arm discussion in
which Messrs. Johnson and Walker of Mas-
sachusetts, both republicans, attacked the
alleged combination which had controlled
appointments of house officers.
The recommendations of the committee
on accounts wen approved and at 1.25 tho
house adjourned until to-morrow.

men
cjironicle In detail. The number of insur-
gents at Calabasar, fourteen miles from
this city, has been increased, but it is now
believed that Havana itself will not be
attacked for some time to come.
The insurgents have burned a mixed train
from Cardenas, near Banaguietes, and the
Spaniards claim that they violated all the
women and young girls who were among
the passengers.
Railroad communication in the province
of Matanzas Is being resumed; trains are
arriving a«t Idmonajre, Saguam Cardenas
and Matanzas.
The insurgent band commanded by Zayas
was reported at different times yesterday
at Calmato, Quyabal, Hoyo Colorado and
Punta Bravo, showing that he followed
pr?tty closely the line between the prov-
inces of Pinar del Rio and Havana, up to
the extreme northeastern portion of Pinar
del Rio. This brought him into the region
into which a large number of troops have
been aent to guard the western approach
to Havana. It does not appear that the
insurgents were in any great force, and no
engagements are reported.
The fields of the Yaldez Pino estate have
been burned and others have been put to
the torch after being plundered, according
to the report received here. The influx of
refugees from the territory surrounding
Havana continues and apparently it is not
possible to obtain sufficient means of trans-
portation to accommodate the fleeing fam
ilie.s and their household goods.

MEXICAN NEWS.
Hurrahing for Cuba—Diaz for Re-Tllec^ion.
General Trevino 111-Money Plentiful.
Mexico City, Jan. 7.—The report received
last night that Havana had been taken by
the insurgents created the greatest excite-
ment. Cubans, Mexicans and Americans
fraternized in the streets and places of pub-
lic iresort, while Spaniards 'ong'regated in
Spanish clubs. Shouts of ' Viva Cuba
llbie!" were heard everywhere, showing
the deep sympathy of the Mexican people
for Cuba. The Mexican Herald office,
which paper receives the Associated l'ress
reports, was thronged all night by people
anxiously awaiting news of continuation.
It is predicted that If the Insurgents cap-
ture and hold Important towns the govern-
ment will recognize their belligerency.
The movement for the reno ml nation of
Sresident Diaz for a term of four years,
Sfinning the first of next December, Is
growing stirong, and clubs and newspapers
favoring his re-election are being founded
ay over the republic. The principal oppo-
sition leaders are inclined to make no con-
test, postponing all attempts to place a
candidate in the field until 1900. Interviews
with them show that t^ey consider General
Diaz necessary for carrying to completion
the modernization of the country.
General Trevino, one of the most famous
military leaders of this country, is serious-
ly ill.
The amount of money in local banks is
$36,000,000. this being entirely unprecedented.
The rate of interest tends downward on
loans and mortgages.
A concession for an industrial railway in
the valley of Mexico is a very liberal one,
and is issued to Walter S. Waite of Roston,
with whom are associated Stephen Reyn-
olds, ex-president of the Mt\i<an Central
railway, and Edward H. W'hora, formerly
assistant general manager of the same line.
Reynolds is the pre. ident of the company.
It Is believed that the cone, ssion of the
Interoceanic railway from puenla south-
west to Acapulco will be transferred soon
to thi Mexico, Cuernavaca ard Pacific rail-
road, thus giving the latter road a hand-
some subsidy, which will enable Colonel ,1.
Ji. Hampson, builder of the line, to push
construction rapidly to the southwest.
President Diaz desires, him to build the
road, which will be important from a mili-
tary as well as a commercial point of view.
Hampson is a native of Iowa, and has
made a great fortune in railway construc-
tion here. He has the entire confidence of
the government.

POLITICAL.
POPULIST CONVENTION.
Alexandria, La., Jan. 7.—The populist
delegates arrived here to-day and are mar-
shaling their forces on the eve of the con-
vention, which Is to be held to-morrow, as
it is understood, for the purpose of indors-
ing the selections made by the republican
conference committee in New Orleans for
governor, secretary of state and attorney
general, completing the rest of the ticket
with nominees of their own selection. A
number of delegates, however, have ex-
pressed themselves as being averse to rati-
fying the conference nominees, and seem to
be in favor of making straight out nomina-
tions from the populist ranks. This senti-
ment is believed to be sufficiently strong
to make the convention interesting.
KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE.
Frankfort, Ky., Jan. 7.—Both houses of
the general assembly were organized to-
day, the republicans electing a full line of
officers in the house and the democrats
doing likewise in the senate. Charles
Blandford of Breckinridge was elected
speaker of the house. Two populists voted
with the republicans. The governor's mes-
sage is not yet compiled and will not be
presented for a day or two.
MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE.
Jackson, Miss., Jan. 7.—The Mississippi
legislature convened at noon to-day. Hon.
J. F. McCooi was elected speaker of the
house, L. Pink Smith clerk and A. L.
Payne, sergeant at arms. In the senate J.
F. Harrison was elected president pro tem.,
J. M. Murray secretary and Andrew Go wan
sergeant at arms.
TAMMANY PRIMARIES.
New York, Jan. 6.—The open primaries
for alderman ordered by the general com-
mittee of Tammany "hall were hekl In «all
of the 'Chirty-flve districts kn tfhis cilty to-
day. A large vote was polled and scarcely
any opposition waa shawm bo the regular
Taminmny ticket.
The eastern portion of the Island seems
to have been entirely stripped of an ef-
fective force of insurgents. A report from
Santa Clara says that the troops encoun-
tered the insurgent band led by Pancho
Carillo, and in the battle which ensued sus-
tained a loss of fifty.
Word has been received that sounds of
cannon and musketry are heard in the
neighborhood of Guanajay, an important
town of 40,000 inhabitants in Pinar del Rio,
fourteen miles southward of Havana. It
is supposed that an engagement is taking
place 'there between the forces of General
Valdez and the Insurgents, but the num-
bers engaged or the course which the for-
tune of the fight Is taking is not known.

are such preposterous insurgent fabrica-
tions that lie will not notice th;m.
J U N T.VS REPRESENTATIONS.
Washington, Jan. 7.—It is learned that
the chief purpose of the- leaders of the
Cuban revolutionary party in the UnMed
States, who came to Washington to-day,
was to push vigorously the movement to
secure recognition of the revolutionists by
this government. They made to beeretary
olrrey a brief but forceful presentation of
the claims of the insurgents to m'ogn'i'Lon.
In addition they presented to the secretary
a great number of documents bearing upon
the origin, abuses, con11M i orus and present
Rtttitus of the Cuban uprising.
President Palma predicts that the m-
surg 'tits will capture Havana within three
months and that .the Cuban republic will
be established in six months if it has the
recognition of the United States.
COMMUNICATION RE-ESTABLISHED.
New York, Jan. 7.—The central cable of-
fice ot the Western Union telegraph com-
pany sent out the following to-day:
"Railway communication between Ha-
vana and the Cuba submarine company's
station at Batabano has baen re-estab-
lished. Telegrams for West Indian points
south of Havana can go forward via Key
West."
A DEFEAT AND A VICTORY.
Madrid, Jan. 7,-The Correspondencia
states that the insurgents have attacked
Hoyo Colorado, which is three leagues
from Havana. The Spaniards were out-
numbered and surrendered. General Cam-
pos, it is further stated, defeated the insur-
gents near Havana.
VESSELS CAPTURED.

the residence of the latter on January 28.
On January 29 they will sail for tiurope.
Such was the information given last night
by one who is on the closest terms with
Mrs. Vanderbilt. It was stated that the
utmost secrecy was to be observed regard-
ing the affair, and that without doubt the
ceremony would be witnessed by only a
few persons. It has not been decided who

Vincennes, lnd., Jan. 7.—John G. Bailey,
ex-recorder of Knox county, is slowly dy-
ing at his home in this city. For over a
year he has been a helpless paralytic. A
month ago he became totally helpless and
for three weeks has been gradually starv-
ing to death. It has been twenty-one days
since a particle of food or drink has passed
his lips. His mind remains clear and active
and he calmly awaits his end. Mr. Bailey
is an ardent admirer of Colonel Robert G.

SOUTHERN LUMBERMEN.
Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 7.—The members
of the various lumber manufacturers' as-
sociations of Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas,
Arkansas, Alabama and Missouri com-
pleted their work to-night, and the result
is that Alabama lumbermen have aclopted
the price list in force in other states in
order to bring about uniformity and to
regulate trade. The particular schedule
fixed for Alabama Is that in force in Ar-
kansas. It is said an (effort will be made
to get Georgia into the compact, and when
this is done practically all of the southern
lumber interests will be in close associa-
tion. A grand meeting of the Hoo-Hoos,
a secret society of the lumbermen, was
held to-night.
STEAMER MISSING.
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 7.—The British
tank steamer Wild Flower, Captain Stone-
wall, from Philadelphia December 11, for
Rouen, France, with a cargo of crude oil
valued at $59,M5 and manned by a crew of
thirty men all told, Is believed to have
blown up or foundered at sea and all hands
perished, no tidings having been received
from the ship since she left the Delaware
breakwater that day. She probably met
with a disaster when not far from tills
shore in the memorable gale of December
14. The Wild Flower is owned In London
by A. Stuart, was built in Sunderland by
R. E. Thompson & Sons in 1889, is 1698 tons
register and valued at £30,000; fully in-
sured.
London. Jan. 7.-Mr. Henry Norman, spe-
cial commissioner of the Daily Chronicle,
cables his paper as follows from \\ ashing-
ton:
"There is an heroic way of settling the
whole difficulty, fraught with honor to both
governments and with results of priceless
worth to both peoples.
"The present delay consists in the fact
that the United States government consid-
ers Itself in honor bound to insist on a cer-
tain course, which the British government
considers itself in honor bound to refuse to
adopt. Every day spent here lias con-
vinced me more strongly that it is impos-
sible to exaggerate the seriousness ot such
an international situation. If the British
public Is misled by the optimistic senti-
ments of New York, it may find itself sud-
denly face to face with an appalling dan-
ger. If the American government acts only
in the belief that because Great Britain is
threatened with a European crisis, there-
fore she will knuckle down to any Ameri-
can demand, it may suddenly discover that
the European crisis has blown over and
that war with England is on its hands.
"In all government departmei s here the
situation is regarded as very serious, de-
spite every effort made on behalf of peace.
Now, the kernel of the dispute being the
principle of arbitration, the solution may
be found therein also. If Lord Salisbury
will say that, although he must maintain
his refusal to arbitrate with Venezuela by
Itself, he is prepared to conclude a treaty
with the United States under which all
questions falling of diplomatic settlement
shall be submitted to arbitration—and this,
of course, would include Venezuela, as the
greater includes the less—the American
government, l know, will receive his com-
munication with warm sympathy. Herein
is a dignified, and, indeed, the most simple
and friendly escape from the deadlock.
"A treaty Is partly concluded, to which
America. Canada and the British ambassa-
dor in Washington have all consented, plac-
ing the matter in a direct way of settle-
ment. It only awaits the assent ot' the
foreign office for this treaty to become
operative."
After urging that this treaty be pressed
forward. Mr. Norman concludes:
"It would be a lamentable mistake for
England to believe that there is any divi-
sion of opinion worth considering in this
country. Washington, far more than New
York, is the pulse of the United States, and
I have been feeling that pulse for over a
week, and I assert, despite criticism or
contradictions, that Americans will speak
with practicalty one voice in support of the
cabinet in the Venezuelan matiter.
"If Lord Salisbury decides that it is im-
possible to take any step let him and Eng-
land at least recognize what is the alterna-
tive."
SIR EDWARD CLARKE SPEAKS.
London, Jan. 8.—The times this morning
publishes four columns explaining the his-
toric origin of the Monroe doctrine.
Sir Edward Clarke, speaking at Plymouth
last evening in regard to Venezuela, said:
"We must not be too impatient, or angry
with the Monroe doctrine. If we refuse to
arbitrate except outside of the Schomburgk
line we would have war with the United
States, and a war in which we should not
be right. Each side must yield to some ex-
tent. We must ignore the American com-
mission, but to say that a line fixed in 1840
was unalterable was to adopt as unreason-
able an attitude as the United States adopt-
ed in President Cleveland's message."
He hoped, he said, that the government
would resume negotiations with Venezuela
direct and that some mediator would be
found whose decision could be accepted
with honor by both countries.
"In that case," he continued, "we mi^ht
be called upon to bear taunts both here and
in America. It would not be pleasant to
hear that we had yielded after President
Cleveland's message, but he did not believe
in a bastard honor which feared to do jus-
tice because justice had been demanded
with insult or menace. It was our business
especially to face the fearful calamity of
war with America, to make up our minds
to what was right and to do the right
calmly and quietly, regardless of taunt, and
content that we had helped to preserve
peace by the only conduct worthy of a
great nation."

These are only two cases selected from
thousands of others, but they are sufficient
to prove that dyspepsia and indigestion can
be always avoided by the lcgular use of
Duffy's pure malt. It will not only keep
the digestive organs in perfect condition,
but give tone and energy to every part Of
the body. There is no other whiskey like
it: nothing else that can take its place.
Therefore, make sure that you get no In-
ferior imitation when purchasing from
your grocer or druggist.

twenty miles from Vinto, where the appar-

and Baracoa.
NO INFORMATION AT WASHINGTON.
Washington, Jan. 7.—At the state depart-
ment it is s£i|d that no information has
been received concerning the critical condi-
tion of things at Havana. As the naval
department has no ships in Cuban waters
no information can be had from that

Mr. Bailey has made full arrangements for
death. Some days ago lie selected his own

ument. He had t ie marble dealer drive to
his house that he might look out at the
window and see the marble shaft, a broken
tree, that Is to mark his final resting place.

consul at Callao, Peru, said that England,
by planting her outposts at the mouth of
the Orinoco river, aims at command of the
great waterway, which would give her con
trol of the commerce of a region equal in
extent to all the United States east of the
Mississippi river. It was England vvhicl
encouraged the pretensions of Chile to
Peru. It was England who fomented re-
bellion against Balmacedo, who Mr. Daugh-
erty pronounced the truest friend of re-
ligious and civil liberty Chile ever had, be
cause he opposed further nitrate acquis!
tions by the English. Mr. Daugherty saw
English in the streets of Peru cheering and
drinking toasts to the success of the rebels.
When the Chileans attacked the United
States marines, the English scouted the
idea that the United States could cope with
the Chilean army, and encouraged them to
offer insult to tills country. The United
States has to-day the support of all the
South American republics except Chile. Mr.
Daugherty declared that English intrigue
in South America will go to any length
short of war to destroy United States in-
fluence there, and would even partition up
the whole of South America among Eu-
ropean powers if she could but secure their
co-operation.
THE TIMES' VIEWS.
London, Jan. 7.—The Times in an edi-
torial this morning again reminds the
United States that whether we hav
troubles in America or not, w will not
yield on tne Venezuelan question. W'
have insulted nobody, but if we are com-
pelled to fight we shall be ready to guard
what is worth fighting for.
The writer of the financial article thinks
that the rejection of the Morgan syndi-
cate's offer will have grave consequences,
and that a popular loan will be mainly sub-
scribed for by gold obtained from the
treasury. "The result will be," says the
Times, "that we shall probably see a r< al
gold premium that will rapidly empty the
treasury."
WAR SCARE IN ENGLAND.

been very numerous, tais past year out-
numbering the aggregate of the past three
years.
The rock business in Llano i
growing to
be quite a source of employment. Many
Contracts have been let for granite build-
ings. and many stone masons are now em-
ployed. A new jail has just been copxplet-
ed in this town of gray granite, bordered
with the red granite, which no{ only adds
greatly to the looks of the town aud re-
flects credit on the commissioners, but it is
the most beautiful building in the west and
demonstrates conclusively that Llano coun-
ty has the finest building mateirial in tfiio
state. ■ 7 ■
