STRUGGLE CONTINUES

Spain Unable to Put Down the Cuban Insurgents.

THE SACRIFICE OF MANY LIVES.

irgf. Accessions to the Insurgent ltanks and People Are Leaving tho Plantations

and Towns by Hundreds to Join Them.

False Itcports Made to Madrid—Latest

From flu Scat of War.

TAMPA, Fla., ^I:iy 11.—Tho plinifc steamship Maisculbrings tln following from Santiago do Cuba undur date of May i:

TJic Spainsli havo sluwn t-lieir inability to put down tho insurrection, and it is now plain that the struggle is to be long continued and attended with the sacrifice of many lives.

There havo been large accessions to the insurgent ranks, and people are leaving the plantations and towns by hundreds to join them.

Antonio Maceo is supreme in the province of Santiago do Cuba. Maximo Uoiiiez holds the same rank and position in Puerto Principe, which is expected to rise upon his arrival at the frontier. Jose Maceo is a general, Garcion, Perez, (.joule! and Planes are colonels, and there are majors and lieutenants, as in tho regular army. With each band are some mounted men and bandera. In the Manzanillo district there are said to be :U)0 horsemen.

The Spanish army has absolutely nothing in the shape of camp equipment, and there is no commissary department for iield work. Troops are ed when they are at the barracks, but when they make long marches into the interior they go without food. The lack of cleanliness lias caused yellow lever to appear before it was expected by the residents. There are 40 cases in the hospital hero, although the authorities will not admit it.

Tho Spanish warships now in Cuban waters are: Cruisers—Maria Christina, Infanta Isabella, Comle Venadito, Cristobal Colon, Jorge, Juan, Sanchez, Barcairetegui, Reine Mercedes.

Torpedo boats—Alcedo, Cuba Espanol, Fradera, Contramaestre, Pescubridor, Telegrams, Maniti, Caridud and Sudio.

SUPPRESSING NEWS.

Papers Pined For Giving an Account of a Kecent JIattle. KKY WKST, May 11.—The latest Cuban advices received in this city state that La Lucha and La Discussion, leading Spanish papers at Havana, have been fined §50 each for publishing extras containing the news of the battle fought at Jarahueea, where tho Spanish loss Wits great. A majority of the inhabitants of Puerto Principe are favorable to the revolutionists.

General Maceo is destroying property of the Gibara-Holguin Railway company, it refusing him $100,000 that he demanded.

Marcos Garcia, mayor of Santa Spiritu, has boon warned by Gomez that if he is not in favor of the revolution not to oppose it and threatening him with death. Marcos Garcia, then left Cuba for riie United States.

General Noalvo has left for Venezuela. It is supposed that he has gone to organize an expedition. The arrival of Sanchez and Roliif is anxiously looked lor. They are expected daily.

Tho Spanish inhabitants refused to be taxed to suppress tho revolution. Tho Spanish postoffice has been tampering with United States Consul Hyatt's mail. His copies of Mew York papers, delivered to him yesterday, had all the Cuban news cut out.

FALSE REPORTS,

Kx-Captain (icncrnl OiII*ju Trying to Shield 11 mscl f.

HAVANA May 11.—The statement made in Madrid a few days ago to Uueen Regent Christina by ex-Captain General Calleja to the effect that Marshal De Campos would soon put an end to the rebellion in this island as there were only 1,500 rebels in the iield was only true in parts, and was probably made with a view to throw discredit on Marshal De Campos, Calleja's successor in the captain generalship.

There are few peiple in this city who do not believe Marshal De Campos will succeed in quelling the insurrection, but to do so ho will havo to deal with more than 1,500 insurgents. It is known that while General Calleja was in charge here, there were 5,000 rebels lighting against the government and that he being afraid to accept the responsibility for not quelling the riot in its incipiency, requested that this fact be not published or brought to the attention of the authorities at Madrid.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT.

The Campaign Against the Insurgents Will lie Actively Pushed.

MAUUIU, May 11.—The defeat of the Cuban insurgents under Matagas has been officially confirmed. The rebels set fire to the railroad bridge between Caminos and San Luis. Material for the Spanish troops has arrived in Cuba, and the campaign against the rebels will now be more actively pushed.

The report from Tampa of a repulse on Monday of a Spanish force at Guimaro by the rebels under Gomes is denied by the officials here, who say that no such engagement occurred.

Senor Castellanos, colonial minister, stated in the cortes yesterday that Captain General De Campos was authorized to introduce reforms in Cuba the moment he deemed the time opportune.

Direct From Havana.

HAVANA, May 11.—Captain General De Campos arrived yesterday at Santiago de Cuba after conferences with some of the influential men of Gibara, Mayari, Baracoa.Caimanero and Guantanamo. The business men of Santiago have agreed to form a battalion of volunteers.

At Guantanamo, yesterday, three negro bandits were executed on charges of robbery said of having committed several murders. Another negro charged with wounding his wife and daughter, was sentenced to imprisonment for seven years.

State Deputy Arrested.

SAVANNAH, May 11.—The state deputy of Beaufort county, S. C., lias been arrested by a United States marshal of Charleston on orders from Savannah for seizing beer shipped from this city.

IVVlTH NEW MEN.

Illinois Steij' Company Will Start Their Mill* Monday Morning.

CHICAGO, ?.Iay 11.—Tho Illinois Steel company has thrown down the gauntlet to its striking employes by discharging Dvery one of them and announcing that it will fill their places and start the mills full handed Monday. None of the strikers havo been permitted to re-enter the grounds of the company for any purpose whatever. Each man's tools and pay were sent to his house and he was notified that he was discharged.

The only place the police now guard with assiduity is Reltman's hall, Eighty-fourth street and Buffalo avenue. Tiifc place is the' chosen stamping grounds of the strikers, and all the fights which havo occurred have originated there. Although no attempt to prevent meetings is made, the police are careful to prevent any sort of gathering in the streets. The strikers are rather more surly than befoiv, and the unceasing watchfulness of the police is nji improving their iomper.

CLOUDBURST IN MISSISSIPPI.

Great Damage Done to Property but No J-.iv«*s Lost.

HERMANVILLK, Miss., May 11.—The cloudburst at this place Thursday did great damage to property, but no lives were lost. The downpour of rain was terrific, rapidly falling and overflowing all streams in the neighborhood. The town and surrounding counties were a I sea of surging water. Fences, houses, etc., wore swept from their foundations and through tiie main street of town rushed a raging river five feet in depth.

It overflowed houses, sweeping over tho ground floor and tho stock, which could not be gotten up in time, had to swim to places of safety. Men had to give up the task of rescue as the water soon rose above their heads. The people sought safety in second stories, and so far as can be learned, no lives were lost. The wires are idl down, heavy trees having fallen across them.

Only Took Two Itounds.

LONDON. May 11.—Jem Smith and Ted Pritchard fought lasc night at the Central hall, Holborn, for the heavyweight championship of England and £200 aside and a purse. The decision was to be given to tho host man in 20 rounds. In the first round Pritchard had tho advantage, but in the second Smith got in a severe blow on Pritchard's body and soon knocked him out of the ring. Pritchard was unable to respond to the call of time and the fightwas awarded to Smith.

Inhaled Ammonia Fumes.

DAYTON, )., May 11.—Mrs. Margaret Bach died yesterday after a night of terribly agony, as a result of the fumes inhaled from ammonia placed in a tub of hot water. Another woman in the neighborhood, Kate Leichtler, using ammonia in the same way for washing, was badly scalded.

"WINSTON, M. C., May 11.—"William Gadbury was yesterday sentenced in adkin court to be hanged on July 8 for the murder of Lessie Carter, his sis-ter-in-law. This will be the first hanging in the county's history.

[(.' pyright, 1S95, by John Clurk liidpath. XIII. BKC.MAIKE AND THE EECOVEKY OF ITALY.

For four years and four days tho administration of tho government of Franco was in tho hands of tho Directory. That body was a plural executive. The sanguinary Republic of 1 703 had sought to transform itself, under the guillotine, into a Republic of moderation and tho administrative power was assigned to a Council of Five.

Many members of this quintuple presidency had been of the Jacobin order. Of this kind was Barras. Others were patriots and men of character. Such were Rewboll, La Reveillere-Lepeaux, Lo Tourneur, Carnot, Bartheleiuy, RogerDucos, and in particular tho Abbe Sieves —greatest of them all. In such a body contrarious counsels wero always uppermost and there was a consequent want of decision and force in tho government.

This condition led to the deplorable reverses which overtook the French armies during the absence of Bonaparte in

NAl'OI.KON CROSSING THE ALPS.

Egypt. Thiers says that the Directorial Republic exhibited at this timo a scene of distressing confusion.

The ambition of Napoleon found in this situation a fitting opportunity. The Directors wero Si eyes, Barras, Ducos, Moulins and Gohier. Tho legislative branch of tho government consisted of a Senate, or Council of Ancients, and a Council of Fivo Hundred. Tho latter constituted tho popular branch. Of this body Lucien Bonaparto, brother of the General, was president. Hardly had Napoleon arrived in tho capital when a conspiracy was formed by him with Sieyes, Lucien, and others of revolutionary disposition, to do away by a coup with the too democratic system, and to replace it with a stronger and more centralized order. The Council of Ancients was to bo brought around by tho influence of Sieyes. To Lucien Bonaparte tho more difficult task was assigned of controlling and revolutionizing tho Assembly. As for Napoleon, Sieyes procured for him tho command of tho military forces of Paris and by another decree the sittings of tho two legislative councils wero transferred to St. Cloud.

The INth Drumairo of tho Year VIII., "corresponding to the 1 t! 1 of November, 1700, was fixed as tho day for tho revolution. To Nr-iJoieon tho crisis was an epoch of l'ato. Tho conspiracy embraced tho resignation of Sit yes, Barras and

Ducos, which—coming suddenly 011 the appointed morning—broke up tho Directory. Bonaparte then put out his hand as commander of the troops. Too late tho P.- publicans of tho Council of Five Hundred felt tho earthquake swelling under their feet. Napoleon appeared at the bar of tho Assembly, and attempted a rambling and incoherent justification for what was going on. A motion was mado to outlaw him but tho soldiers rushed in and the refractory members were seized or expelled. A few who were in with the revolution remained, and to tho number of fifty voted a decree making Sieyes, Bonaparte and Ducos provisional Consuls, thus conferring on them the supreme executive power of the State. By nightfall the business was accomplished, and the niau of Ajaccio slept in tho Tuileries.

The new order was immediately made organic. There could bo no question when Throe Consuls wero appointed and Bonaparte one of tho number, which of the three would be First Consul. Ho would be that himself tho other two might bo tho ciphers which should make his unit 100. The new system was defined as the Provisionary Consulate but this form was only transitional. The managers of the coup went rapidly forward to make it permanent. The Constitution of the Year III. gave place quickly to the Constitution of the Year VIII.. which provided for an executive government, nnder the name of tho CONSULATE. Nominally the Consulate was to be an executivo committee of threo, but really an executivo of one—with two associates. The three men chosen wero Napoleon Bonaparte, Jean Jacques Cambaceres and Charles Francois Lobrun. On Christmas day, 1799, Napoleon was made FIRST CONSUL and that signified tho beginning of a now order, destined toenduro for sixteen and a-half years, and to end at Waterloo.

This era in Bonaparto's lifo marks the beginning of the union in him of great military and groat political power. Henceforth he was destined, to the end of his careor, to be the State of France. To his will all things now became rapidly subservient. His ascendency was henceforth the inost striking example of merely personal power that the world has witnessed since the days of Julius Caesar. Of a certainty, History, begotten by Reason in tho womb of Eternity,

is not made—never was made—by any I man. But the lines of historical causation were more deflected and determined in their course and connections by tho will of Napoleon than by any other one man for the last eighteen centuries.

While Napoleon was in Syria, the Austrian* and Russians in coalition had returned to the battle in Italy, and had driven the French out of the country, On tho 18th and 20th of June, General Macdonald had been defeated at Cassano and 011 the Trebbia by Field-Marshal Alexander Suwarofl:. On the 15th of I August, Joubert lost, tho battle of Novi and was killed on the very spot where

Napoleon bad assumed command in 1 Suwaroff next encountered Mas* sena at Zurich, where, 011 the 25th and 2(ith of September, ho was worsted by the French. Nevertheless, the Russian forced his way over the Alps, and Franco was immediately threatened with a I counter invasion. At this juncture, how* I ever, there was a quarrel in the allied armies, and Suwaroff', withdrew from I the country, bearing his well earned title of I tain ski.

Napoleon spent tho first months of the" year ISOO at Paris. The revolution was received with general approbation by tho French. The leading features of the new government wero a Senate, a Tribunate and a Council of State. These forms wero not wholly acceptable to the First Consul but in the organization of the syslem, his will and purpose wero everywhere predominant. Meanwhile, he appointed General Moreau to tho command of tho Army of tho Rhine, and 011 the 25th of April that general began his advance into Germany. Tho first result of the movement was tho forcing back of tho Austrians on Ulm.

As. for Italy, the First Consul reserved for himself the reconquest of that country. With tho opening of spring, ho projected the Second Italian campaign. On the 14th of May, 1800, he began his famous passage of tho Great 5l. Bernard. Wo might mark this event as tho first of the spectacular aspects of the Napoleonic career. There, in his gray overcoat, under his three-cornered hat,

That, however, was the end of tho successes of tho ailies south of the Alp. On the '.'th of June occurred tho battle I of Menieiinllo, in which the Austrian?, under (lit wero overwhelmingly dete.ited bye, division of the Freiab aimy under Laimos. Five days later Vi as fought the great battle of Marengo, which gavu its name to tho campaign—•' and ended it. The French wcru 2\o00 I strong, and the Austrians numbered about

v0.

Kellermann with tho cavalry completed tho overthrow. The Austrians wi ie swept from the field with a loss of moro than ten thousand men, while the French le.ss of fully seven thousand attested tho violence and desperation of tho conflict. Marengo may be reckoned tho first great battle of the Napoleonic wars. It had all tho features of those extraordinary conflicts which wero subsequently directed by the genius and audacity of Bonaparte. Tho battle ended the war in Italy. On tho noxt day Genoa and the other fortresses of Uppi Italy were resurrendered to the French.

Meanwhile, Moreau had been successful in Germany. He pressed forward to the heart of Bavaria, ami 011 the 15th of July concluded an armistice with tho enemy. This agreement was maintain for four months, only to bo broken by the Austrians. Hostilities wero at once resumed Moreau advanced, and on tho iJd of December, on tho field of Hohonlinden, gained a complete victory over tho German army.

Victorious in Italy and returning to Paris with unexampled fame, Napoleon might now follow his inclinations for peace. His ascendancy over tho French began to be recognized abroad, and conditions appeared favorable for a general pacification. The popularity of tho First Consul was extreme, and this was intensified by tho ill-disguisod efforts of his enemies to cast him down. Conspiracios wero mado against his life. On Christmas eve of the year 1S00 tho most serious of theso attempts was made— and failed. Napoleon was going to the opeHi. Tlireo conspirators—Carbon, St. Rejant and Limoolan—drove a powder cart, with a fuse, into the Rue St. Nicaise, a narrow street by which tho First Consul must pass.
