THE WAR IN CUBA. INSURGENTS GATHERING TROOPS ABOUT HAVANA AND PREPARING FOR AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN — SOUNDS OF THE CONFLICT HEARD IN THE STREETS OF THE CAPITAL. TAMPA (Fla.), March 8.—Among the passengers arriving from Cuba to-night was an insurgent emissary with important dispatches from Antonio Maceo to the junta in New York. This gentleman gives some interesting facts about the progress of the revolution and of plans which Gen. Gomez intends putting into effect. Maceo, he reports, is now at Cano, five miles from Havana, with 8,000 men. At Cano the guards had a skirmish Friday morning. The people of Havana are alarmed, but Gen. Weyler, the agent says, does nothing to disperse the enemy who are occupying strong positions all over the island awaiting Gen. Weyler's promised attack. Among other things mentioned in Maceo's report is that from January 15 to February 20 he captured from the Spaniards 2,800 Mauser and Remington rifles, besides other arms and ammunition by intercepting convoy trains and the capture of small forts. Several field pieces were also taken. Maceo has now 6,000 well armed men and 2,000 miscollaborously equipped. His losses at Paso Real, Caldenaria and Alquizor were 200 men and forty officers. These are all the losses mentioned. Since Weyler's proclamation, fully 8,000 men have joined the insurgents in Puerto Principe. Gen. Maceo, the agent says, will return there to raise an army of 25,000 that he may by April, in conjunction with Gomez and others, consolidate an army of 40,000 men near Havana and be prepared for an aggressive campaign. The insurgents say that if the United States recognizes them they will win within a year; if not they will ultimately win; but the end will be delayed. Madrid papers contain some curious official statistics regarding the war in Cuba. According to these there were sent to the island up to March, 1896, 118,000 men. Thirteen thousand of these were sent at the time of the outbreak of the rebellion. The cost of the war thus far is placed at $50,000,000. For the second year the cost is estimated at $75,000,000. Each soldier in Cuba costs the Government $50 annually. During the first year 406 soldiers were killed and 3,472 died from yellow fever. The reopening of telegraphic communication in the region of Pinar del Río brings the first detailed information of affairs in that province for several weeks. The condition of affairs disclosed is little less than appalling. The rich Valle Abajo district seems to have been put to the torch, and is apparently reduced to a wilderness. Whole towns have been obliterated and their inhabitants are wandering helpless over the country, many of them starving. The villages and towns of Cabanas, Betha Honda, San Diego de Lunes, Santa Cruz de los Pinos, Los Palacios, Piso Real de San Diego and San Diego de los Banos are known to be reduced to ashes, and reports of others will More Medicinal value in a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla than in any other preparation. More skill is required, more care taken, more expense incurred in its manufacture. It costs the proprietor and the dealer but it costs the consumer less, as he gets more doses for his money. Curative power is secured by its peculiar combination, proportion and process, which make it peculiar to itself. People are employed and more space occupied in its Laboratory than any other. Wonderful cures effected and more testimonials received than by any other. Sales and more increase year by year are reported by druggists. People ar taking Hood's Sarsaparilla today than any other, and more are taking today than ever before. and still more reasons might be given why you should take Hood's Sarsaparilla The One True Blood Purifier. $1 per bottle. Hood's Pills cure all Liver Ills and Sick Headache. 25 cents. his path. He never hesitated, but followed the railroad west, as though to go to the capital itself. Weyler, like the rest, was dumbfounded. He hesitated to send out the newly arrived troops, and instead ordered them to remain on the outskirts of Havana. The possibility of Spanish mobs rising against the American Consulate and Americans was his excuse for allowing the enemy to reach within six miles of Havana to meet them. Maceo came down over his trail, and Jarnoo, Campo Florida and Minas were passed in turn. Last night the advance reached Rio directly across the narrow bay from Havana, so close that people sitting in the hotels heard the firing at the rebel troops. What they did we can only surmise. They fired on the volunteers, falling four dead or wounded, and so passed on. Rebels are all around Havana now, and the columns of Spanish troops are marching patiently against them. The rebels must be short of ammunition. Their daily battles make that certain, and they cannot meet the Spanish in battle whatever the spirits of the columns may be; but, in a sense, they have gained a victory. They have attracted the attention of the Government troops, and while these vainly seek to corner Maceo and his devoted thousands, Maximo Gomez is passing safely into the fastnesses of Santa Clara to regain strength. Meanwhile the forces left in far Western Cuba have well fulfilled the trust imposed by the Leader. They own Pinar del Río province. From Guanahy west they burn at pleasure. In accordance to orders they have made the province a waste. A man who owns cattle dare not move a steer, but tends his horse does not move a steer. State'and is registered at the Palace. He tells of the beginning of what promises to be a large industry for the lower part of the State—the growing of vegetables in winter for the Eastern market. "The industry is only... its infancy, but enough has been done already to demonstrate that it will be a great success and of as much importance to Southern California as any other industry," said Mr Eri yesterday. "Winter celery and cane flower have been shipped East in carloos lots and good prices obtained. The business has passed the experimental stage. Some tomatoes have been shipped, and as with California products the keeping qualities are good and they arrived at the markets in excellent condition. There can be no question that most vegetables can be produced, not only in great quantity, but of a magnificent quality. There is plenty of land for their cultivation to be had, and as to the market we have the whole East with practically no competition. One great advantage is that there can be little danger of a glaze in such a large field, and it will take very little trouble to create a demand. Three years ago we were asked for winter celery by our Eastern dealer, and that induced us to leave a tract of peat land near Santa Ana. We contracted with people to cultivate it, frustrating the seed and money to plant, agreeing to take the product. This has been successful that others have gone into this business on their own account." THE TWO AND FOUR YEAR TERM IDEA. From the San Bernardino Times-Index. The decision of the Supreme Court declaring the primary election law unconstitutional because of its non-application to all of the counties of the State has strengthened their belief that the court would hold that four-year term provision of the County Government Act of 1893 was invalid for this reason. As yet it has been found possible to get the question before the court but we understand that a case will be made up to test the question in one of the counties of the State, probably San Luis Obispo. It is thought that the Populists of that county will hold an early convention, nominate full county ticket and certify it to the County Clerk for filing and printing on official ballots. The refusal of the clerk may comply with this demand will furnish basis for mandatory proceedings that will bring up the question of constitutionality of the four-year term provision. A COUNTRY BANKERS' ERROR. From the Los Angeles Investor. The recent arrest of a young attorney on this city on the charge of cashing a raise cheque for $850 and defrauding the Staunton Loan & Trust Company reveals the existence of a custom among certain banks that cannot be too strongly condemned. It appears that the cheque in question was original drawn for two dollars and fifty cents and was certified by the Exchange Bank of San Ana for that amount. This courtesy was performed for a stranger who deposited $25 with the bank in order to secure the instrument for alteration. Competition may be strong in banking; as in other lines, but it hard to understand the business motive that could prompt a banker to comply with a Government $50 annually. During the first year 406 soldiers were killed and 3,472 died from yellow fever. The reopening of telegraphic communication in the region of Pinar del Rio brings the first detailed information of affairs in that province for several weeks. The condition of affairs disclosed is little less than appalling. The rich Vulcan Abajo district seems to have been put to the torch, and is apparently reduced to a wilderness. Whole towns have been obliterated and their inhabitants are wandering helpless over the country, many of them starving. The villages and towns of Cabanas, Betha Honda, San Diego de Lunes, Santa Cruz de Jojos, Los Palacios, Puerto Real de San Diego and San Diego de los Banos are known to be reduced to ashes, and reports of others will bring the number destroyed up to thirteen. All of these were important centers of population and business. The last town which has succumbed to the insurgents' torch is San Juan y Martinez. The tobacco from this town is famous the world over. When the first column of Spanish troops arrived on the site of the town they found only debris and smoking ashes. A hundred desolate families had taken refuge in poor huts outside of what was once the town, and were waiting hopelessly for any assistance. They were without clothes and without food. Within a few days, Gomez and Maco have achieved other successes in the face of strong opposing columns, which have made the world wonder how it can be done. Gen. Pando, in command in Santa Clara, only awaited the arrival of these troops to strike hard blows, but Gomez and Maco, having left in the everglades hospitals all their wounded and ill, taken east from their raids in the western provinces, strengthened their forces with new troops fresh from Puerto Principe and San Diego and then, while the Spanish battalions were on route to catch them, they unexpectedly turned west again, slipping past all obstructions with only a few skirmishes. Now Gomez is in the heart of Matanzas, and Maco is once more almost at the gates of the capital. Trains have been fired on just beyond the city on the Matanzas road and Monday night there was a sharp skirmish only three miles beyond the suburb of Jesus del Monte, a little settlement to which Havana horse-cars and omnibuses make regular trips. There was no official report of the affair given out. A special from Paris says: No living Frenchman has suffered more for the cause of liberty than Henry Rochefort, the veteran editor of the Intransigent. Few French writers exercise so widespread an influence over the masses of their countrymen. In an interview he said: "I do not think the people of the United States would stand idly by and see, under Weyler, a repetition of the former ten years' tragedy. If the recent resolutions in Congress really represent public opinion, President Cleveland cannot postpone action indefinitely. The whole body of intelligent people in France is with the insurgents. The gallant fight made by the Cubans endears them to all lovers of freedom. Everything in France that now counts for anything is on their side. One thing seems certain. The loss of Cuba and the expense of the war will bring about a revolution in Spain. The dynasty has been tootling for some time. An unsuccessful struggle against the United States would certainly result in the overthrow of the Spanish monarchy." The Spanish gunboat Lines, conveying provisions to Sibacoas, found the entrance to the river closed by a chain stretched from bank to bank. The insurgents fired upon the gunboat, and the latter returned the fire. Troops were sent in pursuit of the insurgents. A detachment of insurgents belonging to Maco's forces captured the force at Santa Cruz, a small place north of Jibacoa. The insurgents called upon the garrison to surrender, and the Spanish leader in charge left for the purpose of conferring with the insurgent leader. The insurgents surrounded the fort and entered and made prisoners of the volunteers defending it; and captured their arms and the supply of ammunition. The rebels must be short of ammunition. Their daily battles make that certain, and they cannot meet the Spanish in battle whatever the spirit of the columns may be; but, in a sense, they have gained a victory. They have attracted the attention of the Government troops, and while these vainly seek to corner Maco and his devoted thousands, Maximo Gomez is passing safely into the fastnesses of Santa Clara to regain strength. Meanwhile the forces left in far Western Cuba have well fulfilled the trust imposed by the leader. They own Pinar del Rio province. From Guanabay west they burn at pleasure. In accordance to orders they have made the province a waste. A man who owns cattle dare not move a steer, but tends his herds as a rebel commissary until the insurgents need meat. Everybody who can is coming to the cities as fast as the hindering military regulations permit and by the grace of rebel permission. Inhabitants of the interior reach Havana full of wonder at the daring displayed by Maco's wild riders. They tell how a big black man charged at Paso Real with no weapon but a drinking jar held in hand when the charged sounded; how negro heroes jumped their horses over hedges of bayonets, content to die if only death came after breaking the Spanish squares, and other tales of daring. Smallpox has been added to the horrors existing in Cuba. Admiral Richard W. Meade, in a lecture on "The Caribbean Sea," said that in case of trouble between the United States and Great Britain over Venezuela, the first shot fired in anger will sound the death-knell of British Empire. Discussing the Cuban question, he said that Cuba should bear the same relation to Spain that Canada bears to the British Empire. The undergraduates of Princeton burned in effigy of King Spain in demonstration in which several hundred took part. The flag of Spain was dragged through the main street and later was torn to pieces in the center of the campus. Dispatches have been received which announce the safe arrival in Cuba of four expeditions which have sailed from different American ports during February. The urgent necessity of ammunition in the insurgent army, particularly those of Gomez and Maco, induced the Cubans in New York to make arrangements for the departure of several small expeditions to sail from southern ports of the United States. The first left this country February 4 carrying 250 rifles and 170,000 rounds of ammunition. Accompanying the expedition were seventeen men. The second expedition left February 7 with 150 rifles, 153,000 cartridges and twelve men; the third left on February 12 with 250 rifles and twenty men. The fourth sailed on February 16 and carried 100 rifles and 80,000 rounds of ammunition and ten men. Each of the expeditions landed in different parts of the Cuban coast. Montreal March 7.-Professor Rutton McGill University has just returned from a trip to Cuba. He arrived at Havana two days after General Weyler assumed command and says that still loyal citizens admit that 75 per cent of the population is in sympathy with the insurgents. The troops of the latter could be easily distinguished with the naked eye from any of the house tops in the city. Professor Rutton says the insurgents are anxiously waiting for the yellow fever to make its appearance, as they hope that it will play havoc with the new Spanish troops. Madrid March 9.-A dispatch from Havana says Colonel Vichua has defeated Maco with a loss of twenty-two killed and a great number wounded.-The Spanish troops captured two hundred horses and a large quantity or arms. The Spaniards, who lost only twenty-two wounded, are still pursuing the enemy. VOICE OF THE PRESS FIGHTING THE SAN JOAQUIN RANCH TITLE. From the Santa Ana Blade. This city on the charge of casing a raise cheque for $50 and defrauding the Stato Loan & Trust Company reveals the existence of a custom among certain banks that cannot be too strongly condemned. It appears that the cheque in question was originally drawn for two dollars and fifty cents and was certified by the Exchange Bank of San Ana for that amount. This courtesy was performed for a stranger who deposited $25 with the bank in order to secure the instruction for alteration: Competition may be strong in banking, as in other lines, but it hard to understand the business motive that could prompt a banker to comply with a quest that on its face was suspicious. They was no money in the transaction for their bank and it was only helping the stranger customer to save a few cents in the purchae of a money order. We know of many instances where banks render gratuitous services to their regular customers, but it is hoped that act of the Santa Ana coerc may have few imitators for the sake of other banks that may be victimized by such foolishness. HAVING FUN WITH THE KUNNEL. From the Riverside Press. The Los Angeles papers are having lots fun over the fact that Harrison Gray Orr has got himself talked about as a vice president candidate. The Express is surprising at the Colonel's modesty, and wonders that he names are not transposed so as to re-read "Otis and McKinley." The fear of losing Otis as a citizen of Southern California is allayed this morning by the latter's decision to his paper that he is not a candidate Bro. Osborne feels so relieved at this that suggests it would be a courteous thing to give Otis allthe California proxies at this St. Louis convention. Ben R. Spradley, a attaché of The St. Louis sanitarium, at 1635 South Gran Avenue, has in his possession one of those curious and what he asserts to be one of the most useful and valuable articles. It is what is known as a Chinese snake stone, and there is said to be but one other in the country. Indeed one in Mr. Spradley's possession but half one, the original having been cut in two by Mr. Spradley and half it given to a friend. In appearance there stone looks like a small piece of oblong shaped cannel coal and is about eight inches of an inch wide and half it inch long. It is as light in weight as piece of cork possesses a polished surface and can be easily cut with a knife. It is not a stone, in the proper sense it is of a porous texture. To cure snake bites or poisonous wounds of a similar nature with "stone"the wound must first be scarified. Then the stone is applied to this wound. Each morning and evening it is taken off and put into a glass of ink warm water to remain a few moments until it discharges the poison it has absorbed. Then, after the wound has been washed in a strong-solution of salt water and again scarified, the stone, which in meantime has been rubbed in warm ashes until dry, is again applied if this treatment is kept up for nine days andthe patient abstains during that time from spiritus liquors a cure is assured. "I secured the stone," said Mr. Spradley,"from my father more than 30 years ago. He got it from James J. Parker at man who made it. From 1874 to 1877 I was with the party which was pursued throughthe Texas Pacific railroad." The Spanish gunboat Lines, conveying provisions to Sibacoa, found the entrance to the river closed by a chain stretched from bank to bank. The insurgents fired upon the gunboat, and the latter returned the fire. Troops were sent in pursuit of the insurgents. A detachment of insurgents belonging to Maceo forces captured the force at Santa Cruz, a small place north of Jibacoa. The insurgents called upon the garrison to surrender, and the Spanish leader in charge left the fort for the purpose of conferring with the insurgent leader. The insurgents surrounded the fort and entered and made prisoners of the volunteers defending it; and captured their arms and the supply of ammunition. The volunteers were later released, and the military Governor of Jibacoa sent a detachment of troops in pursuit. HAVANA, March 4.—Maceo has made a daring raid on Havana. His soldiers approached to within six miles of the city. The whole object of this raid was to save Gomez, Maximo Gomez is a sick man. The chief, in whom are centered the hopes of those who seek to free Cuba, has passed into the province of Santa Cruz to get a few days' rest. For five days he was burning with fever. Suffering from old wounds and worried with the responsibility of 30,000 armed men, he was yet on horseback every day, with rifle across the saddle, ready to do as much as the youngest and strongest in his command. He is better now and hopes are entertained that a few days' rest will see the old leader as strong as ever. Nobody realizes the importance of this more than his men. Official reports have told of the retreat toward the east of the army of liberators. Even Valeriano Weyler, the coldest and sturdiest soldier in all Spain's legion, could hardly avoid a note of exultation at the fulfillment of his promise to clear the western provinces of the rebels. His generals drove the insurgents back. Every day cannon and rifle were heard. The veteran columns of the Spanish army kept following, their whole idea being to keep the rebels moving eastward. The army of the liberators fell back. Their chase was so sick that the landscape of palms and sugar cane reeled before him. Once near Vengas 200 men stopped behind a stone wall to stop the whole Spanish army, so that their beloved chief would not be molested. There the 200 took their stand, to die if need be. The Spanish column did not come till dusk, and thinking the whole strength of the rebel force was behind those walls halted, and so a sacrifice was averted. But pursuit was close and a column was rapidly approaching under General Pando, as hard a fighter as serves under the yellow banner of Spain. Then it was that Maceo swung around to face the enemy with his whole force of 8,000, and back he traced his way until people in Havana heard the distant thunder of war. Meantime reinforcements arrived from Spain, and Maceo had an additional army, on which he could not have counted, right in house tops in the city. Professor Ruttan says the insurgents are anxiously waiting for the yellow fever to make its appearance, as they hope that it will play havoc with the new Spanish troops. MADRID, March 9.—A dispatch from Havana says Colonel Vichua has defeated Maceo with a loss of twenty-two killed and a great number wounded. The Spanish troops captured two hundred horses and a large quantity or arms. The Spaniards, who lost only twenty-two wounded, are still pursuing the enemy. VOICE OF THE PRESS FIGHTING THE SAN JOAQUIN RANCH TITLE. From the Santa Ana Blade. It will soon be known whether the Irvines hold a lawful title to the 109,000 acres of land known as the San Joaquin ranch. In event the authorities at Washington decide against the present incumbents there will be the greatest excitement here this city has known for many years. An organization known as the Santa Ana Settlers’ League, a branch of the greater Settlers’ League, is working night and day to oust the Irvines. The officers of the local league are: Dr. B. W. Scheurer, president; Robert Dungan, secretary and treasurer. The league claims that the evidence now accumulated by C. C. Grove of Los Angeles, after eighteen years search of records pertaining to titles in California, admits not the slightest doubt that the 109,000 acres of the San Joaquin ranch have been taken from the public domain and the legitimate settlement of the same prevented by most fraudulent measures. To rectify this wrong 114 men of this city have banded themselves together. Their ambition is to secure a claim on the ranch when once it is thrown open for settlement. The league numbers in its membership many of the more prominent business men of this city. The fact that they have each put up $35 in cash argues well for the sincerity of their belief. From each one the sum of $50 is pledged. Payments are made in $5 installments. In conversation with one of the "leaguers" today a Blade reporter learned that prospects were excellent for a speedy and favorable decision. Measures Zack Montgomery, Garland, Chandler and Grove are at Washington in behalf of the would-be settlers. Members of the league state that membership will give them a prior right to a claim in case the San Joaquin is thrown open to settlement. By paying a nominal lawyer’s fee and $1 per acre they will be entitled to 160 acres in any portion they may elect to locate. It is by no means certain that the present holders of the ranch will be beaten. They are very guarded in disclosing their line of action. EARL GOING IN FOR VEGETABLES. From the San Francisco Examiner. E. T. Earl of the Earl Fruit Company has just returned from the southern part of the warm water to remain a few moments until it discharges the poison it has absorbed. Then, after the wound has been washed in a strong-solution salt water and again scarified, the stone, which in the meantime has been rubbed in warm sahes until dry, is again applied. If this treatment is kept up for nine days and the patient abstains during that time from spirituous liquors a cure is assured. "I secured the stone," said Mr. Spraggley, "from my father more than 30 years ago. He got it from James J. Parker, the man who made it. From 1874 to 1877 I was with the party which was pursued through the Texas Pacific railroad and during that time cured several of the party who were bitten by rattles and other poisonous snakes. I have frequently loaned the stone to friends, and I cut the original in two, giving half it to a particular friend of mine. I have not used the stone for some time, but am ready to give a test of its merits any time. "It is, you see, not properly a stone but is a manufactured substance of a porous nature. The theory possessed by many that so called 'madstones' are found in the stomachs of animals is an nonsense. They are all manufactured in a manner similar to this, and it is simply their 'drawing' powers and their porousness and consequent capacity for absorption that renders them valuable." —St. Louis Republic. It Didn't Prove Suitable. "We can let you have the bride chamber," ventured the genial hotel clerk as he rubbed his hands and looked confidentially across the register at this youngish couple. "The young man as he drew a nervous flourish beneath the abbreviation 'and wife' and laid down the pen." But we contemplate remaining ten days or so and you might need the room." "You shall not be disturbed, I assure you," continued the clerk, "and this apartment is a lovely one." "Airy?" asked the young man. "As to that," and a gleam of intense pride surmounted the clerk's face," will say that the room contains seven windows, all opening upon tiny veranda." The young couple looked at each other then they young woman spoke. "I don't think we shall care for that room. You see, our three children will be here with their nurse in the morning."
