Cuban Insurgents Are Rapidly Advancing.

TWELVE THOUSAND STRONG.

Captain General Martinez De Campos With His Eighty^ Thousand Men Is Unable to Stop Them—Details of tlie Latest

Engagement.—A Decisive 1» it tie Is Expectcd Within the Jsext Few Days. HAVANA, Dec. 26.—(Copyrighted, 1895, by The Associated Press).—Further details have reached here from Matanzas of the rapid advance of the insurgents' army numbering about 12.000 men upon Havana, after forcing its way through the province of Santa Clara and into the Province of Matanzas, in spite of the efforts of Captain General Campos and about 80,000 troops at his disposal in the territory traversed and invaded.

The reported important battle Tuesday between the Spaniards under Campos and the insurgents at Coliseo plantation, 12 miles frcan. Cardenas, does not appear to have been a very severe engagement.

Cardenas is a seaport, quite an important place for Cuba, of about 4,000 inhabitants, and is onlv 21 miles from of

Matanzas, capitol of the province that name, and the largest town between seption. Cardenas and Havana.

pushing through the province of Matanzas, and instead of turning out to be a great vietorv for the Spaniards, the result of the engagement was virtually a defeat for Campos' forces, for the Cuban army pushed onward unchecked, and is still advancing on tins city.

Tiie lighting took place amid banrinar cane, underwood, tall grass and frees, and was of the visual guerilla nat ure. At times both the troops and the insurgents were surrounded by walls of flame and the smoke was so dense over certain portions of the ground con rested that the Cubans siml the troops, unable to see each other, kent banging away at onen spaces, wasting vast quantities ot good ammunition, it is true that tins indiscriminate firing was more noticed upon the nart of the troops than on the side of the insurgents "nut. for one insurgent killed at least 2.000 shots must lfave been fired.

The Cubans, following their customary tactics, seemed to melt away into distance so soon as the troops got within sighting distance of them, and nearly all the firing was at very long range, although the soldiers made several gallant charges through the burning territory. This style of fighting is termed a defeat of the insurgents but, as they succeeded in accomplishing their object,

holding the" Spanitu-ds' iii^ check "while

the Cuban army pushed on southward, tlie result was really a Cuban victory. The captain general was as near the front as possible, encouraging the troops by word and action. One of the captain general's orderlies, who was sitting on his horse by tne siue of Martinez de. Campos, received a bullet in his chest and tell to ine ground, severely wounded. The shot, no doubt, was intended for the Spanish commander.

Campos seems to. have a supreme contempi for the bullets ot the insurgents, but he is rapidly learning to admire their tactics. In spite of all tlie veteran Spanish commander does, the Cubans are marching through his forces, with but. a few skirmishes here and there, and lie seems to be utterly unable to concentrate ahead of them forces sufficient to draw tlie enemy into a. pitched battle. When Campos establishes

headquarters and lays out a place ot battle, the Cubans seem by some mysterious means to hear of it, for. pretending to fall into the trap, they push a hi of men forward, skirmish with the .'Siops, draw the Spanish forces upon mem, and then the Cuban army proper outflanks the Spaniards and pus lies steadily onward towards Havana.

The admirers of the captain general claim this is his plan of campaign, that he is allowing the Cubans to get by him and near and nearer to Havana, only for the purpose of eventually falling upon them in the rear and scattering them, to all the points of the compass. This sounds plausible enough but the insurgents are destroying all bridges, railways and plantations behind them. The route they have followed is marked by a blackened swath of smoking ruin and desolation and the Spaniards will have a very difficult task to push on after their fleet-footed enemies.

Besides, within two weeks, Campos has changed his headquarters from Santa Clara to Cienfuegos, from Cienfuegos to Palmillaa, from Palmillas to Colon, from Colon to Jovellanos, from Jovellanos to Limonare, and from Limonare to Guanabana. All these changes were dijrect ret reats before the enemy in the feope, it is true, of being able to bring About a pitched battle. This seems to be fhe secret of the failure of the Spaniards 1 to check the advance of the Cubans.

All tlie Spanish generals in the rear of the insurgent army have been instructed to hurry after the enemy with .all possible speed. Here, however, «omes in the weakest feature of the campaign of the Spaniards. The poorly fed, half-grown lads, shipped here from gpain are suffering terribly from the effects of the climate and unusual exposure in spite of the fact that this is the so-called healthy season in Cuba.

Yellow feyer, smallpox and malarial fevers have told terribly upon these unfortunate troops, and in addition they axe utterly unfit for campaigning in this land of bad roads, high grass, iwamps and low bushwood. They simply have not the strength to push steadsly on after the Cubans, who, as a rule, are thorough acclimated men, accustomed to the country, familiar with all its peculiarities and able to bear long marches without suffering too severely.

Then again, the Spanish troops are thoroughly dispirited their hearts are -not in the fight, in spite of the gallant manner in which they respond to "Viva Espana" and dash at the enemy—only to be shot down or cut down, or else to .find the Cubans disappear as if adorned vith wings. The Cubans, on the other ^nd, are animated with the spirit of triotism, with the all-absorbing desire freedom, with the fire which drove

British before the American patriots

Tinder the leadership of Washington. While this fact can not be denied, there is one feature of the march of the insurgents upon Havana, which can not be overlooked. Admitting they number 12,000 men, can they capture this city and can they hold it if they do obtain possession of it There is the strong garrison of this place, the high walls of the forts and the Spanish fleet to be reckoned with. It must be quickly done or fail altogether, it would appeal", for it seems impossible that Campos can not gather together some kind of a force and start in pursuit of Gomez and Maceo.

In any case the next few days should decide everything. Generals Valdez I and Luque are pushing on for Sabanilla I eel Enconiendadon, directly south of

Matanzas, at the head of the best troops in that province but the Cuban army is believed to be to the westward of Sabamlla.

The insurgent scouts are reported to have been seen near San Francesco de Paula, to the west of Saute Ana and not far from the most southerly of the two

Martinez de railroads connecting Havana with Matansas, and the Cuban advance guard can not be far behind them. Consequently the advance guard commanded by Gomez and Maceo is less than 50 miles from Havana, and, apparently, steadily advancing. Between the insurgents and Havana there is only one town ot importance, Jaruco, and it is an open question whether Campos can get there from Guanabana or Matanzas. where lie is supposed to be before the

laugh at the idea of the insurgents being able to approach Havana. But any person who three weeks ago hinted at the possibility ot the Cubans being able within that time to push through the provinces of Santa Clara and Matanzas to the borders of the province of Havana might have been promptly locked up as a lunatic. Yet, there are the Cubans. scouting near the borders of the province of Havana, having passed Campos and the picked troops of Spam, civil guards, volunteers and guerillas.

Everybody here is asking what the next step will be. Can Campos catch up to. or check the enemy in any way? Tins next two days should furnish the answer to all questions oil the subject.

The humed movements of the troops garrisoning the forts, the going and coming of orderlies, the hasty despatch of reinforcements to the front, the general stare ot teverisn unrest, all show that the news from Matanzas is of the utmost importance and that the end of the campaign, one way or the other, is believed to be approaching.

MORE BLOOD SHED.

Thousands ol Druses Killed in a Battle With the Turks.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 26.—Advices received here from Beirut report that a severe fight has taken place between the Turkish troops and the Druses, near Suedich. It was on Dec. 21, and, according to the official report, the Druses lost 12,200 killed, while only 70 Turks were killed and 50 wounded.

The representatives of the powers yesterday entered a protest before the commission which controls the execution of reforms, and Sir Philip Currie, the British ambassador, demanded the immediate recall of the Kadi of Mush, who is accused of inciting the Mussulmans to disturbances.

It is reported from Marsus that disturbances have occurred there between the Mussulmans and Christians. The outbreak, however, was soon quelled by the authorities. This disturbance is believed to explain the arrival of the missionaries and Christian families at Mersinaon Dec. 17.

Eight Prisoners Escape.

LOUISVILLE, Dec. 26.—Eight county prisoners borrowed a saw and presented themselves with Christmas gifts last night by cutting a hole through the jail roof and making their escape. Th® delivery had been carefully planned and was not discovered for a half hour after the men had disappeared. Among the escaping prisoners was Bill Ryder, the notorious outlaw, awaiting trial for murder. The entire city detective force was ordered out in search of the men, but up to the present time none of them have been captured.

RUSSIA OFFERS COLD

bhe Will States

HALF OF HER HOARDED STORE.

The Consensi-8 of Opinion Is That This Offer Will Have a Decided Kft'eet Upon the Veiie/.uvlan Controversy—European

Brokers Alarmed Over the Outcome of the Offer—Discussed in Washington. WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—Great interest was excited in official circles here yesterday by the publication in the Washington Post, under a New York date, of a circumstantial statement, to the effect that the Russian government has ottered to lend the United States any amount of gold up to $400.000,000— one-half of its total possessions of this specie—in order to maintain its credit against assaults from the great money powers of other European nations, and that, learning of this tender, the Rothschilds, through Messrs. Belmont & Morgan, have made overtures to let the United States have any amount of gold needed.

The statement, it is learned, is accurate so far as concerns the fact that Russia tendered the United States a part of its store of gold, but the natural inference that this offer was a recent one, made in consequence of the late Venezuelan message, is not warranted, for it may be asserted positively, and on excellent authority, that tlie tender was in no manner influenced by the complications now existing between the Lliited Slates and Great Britain as the result of the negotiations over the Venezuelan question, and was, in fact, made two years ago.

The history of the matter is brief and runs back only to the beginning of the present administration of President Cleveland. Soon after he came into office for the second time, the president, was confronted with a rapidlv shrinking gold reserve the United States treasury and a heavy loss of revenue incident to radical changes in the tariff. This situation resulted in tlie United States being asked larger rates than usual for any bonds it might wish to float. The Russian government for 10 years lias been accumulating' gold, in many cases at great disadvantage, owing to the hostility of money lenders of central and western Europe, and much gold was purchased in the open market by secret agents of the Russian government.

The purpose was not only to provide a proper reserve in the Russiau war chest, but also to provide against a contemplated change in the Russian monetary system by raising the silver rouble to a parity with gold. The procedure in this case was similar to that of Secretary Sherman when he accumulated the $100,000,000 gold reserve as a preliminary to declaring the treasury ready to redeem in gold the greenbacks issued during tlie last war.

Taking cognizance of the situation of the United States government, with which it always had Been on terms of closest friendship, and between which and itself there were no conflicting interests likely to arise. Secretary Gresliam. tlirough Prince Cantaeusene, then Russian minister to Washington, was notified that Russia stood ready to part with half of her store of gold, if so much were necessary, to the United States, in order to protect her old-time friend in the family of nations.

This tender was made about eight months after President Cleveland assumedthe presidential office for his second term. At the time the offer was gratefully acknowledged, but. as the capitalists of other nations gained an inkling of the fact that the tender had been made, it, was found that the terms upon which gold could be procured in the open market, as a consequence of Russia's tender, were so favorable as to render it unnecssary to tax the friendship of Russia.

At present, so it is understood, the Russian offer still holds good, and about the only new phase of the situation is that this fact has been made known freshly to the European gold-brokers.

DISCUSSED IN WASHINGTON.

The Greatest Empire Keady to Stand by the United States. WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—The report to the effect that Russia has offered to loan the United States $400,000,000 of gold, and that the Rothschilds, who last week were withdrawing gold from this country, had hastened to head off the Russian scheme by proffering all the gold that may be needed, has created the greatest interest here.

In all the hotel lobbies and on street corners, wherever men congregate, Christmas festivities were forgotten for the time being and the Russian loan was the one topic of discussion. The concensus of opinion is that this offer will have a decided effect upon the Venezuelan controversy, inasmuch as it will certainly brace up the American market and will convince the British statesmen that the greatest empire in the world intends to stand by the greatest republic in the event of any warlike movements.

When Minister Cantaeusene left the United States a few weeks ago he called on the secretary of state to bid him farewell and incidentally remarked: "Mr. Secretary, there was an occasion when a Russian fleet was needed in American waters. The fleet made its appearance, and the occasion may arise again. In such event Russia is ready."

This significant utterance by the departing Russian minister, followed by the wonderfully generous offer made by the Russian authorities, means that there will be an alliance between the United States and Russia in the event of a controversy with England, which makes it certain that the Venezuelan question will be settled without resort to arms.

Quarreled Over a Crap Game. STEUBENVILLE, O., Dec. 26.—During a quarrel over a crap game among the the colored laborers at Bloomtfield tunnel on the Pan-handle railroad, James Rice pulled a revolver and fired five times into the crowd. One of the bullets passed through the heart of Joseph Jackson, killing him instantly. Rice came from Tennessee and has a bad reputation. Last night in a quarrel he shot another negro named James Hamilton in the groin, inflicting a bad wound. The murder almost resulted in a riot and great excitement prevailed for a time.

Loan the United $400,000,000.

THE REVENUE MEASURES.

Chairman Dingley of the Ways and Means Committee Explains Them. WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—Chairman Dingley of the ways and means committee made the following statement last night: "The revenue bill is not intended to be a tariff revision, but simply an exigency bill to raise about $40,000,000 of revenue to meet the deficiency. The main object is revenue, although incidentally the increases will help American industries to some extent. The bill is limited to two and a half years, the expectation by that time the Republicans will be in full power and able to revise the tariff on their own lines. "Wools are taken from the free list, and clothing wools given a duty of 6 4-10 cents (60 per cent of the duty provided by the act of 1890), and woolen goods are given a specific compensatory duty of 60 per cent of what they had been under the act of 1890, in addition to the ad valorem duty of the present law. Carpet wools are placed where they were under the act of 1890, and the same specific duty given to carpets as under the act of 1890. in addition to the ad valorem duties of the present, law. "The articles of lumber placed on the free list of the tariff of 1890 are transferred to the dutiable list with 60 per cent of the duty that they had under the act of 1890. Then all the other dutiable schedules (except sugar, which is not touched) have all the duties raised 15 per cent. The committee had not the time to treat articles separately and hence a horizontal increase became necessary as to all articles now on the free list. "The bond bill," added Mr. Dingley, "gives the secretary of the treasury authority to issue a 3-per-cent five-year coin bond to maintain the redemption fund, in addition to the authority he now possesses, but provides that tlio proceeds of all bonds sold under this act and under the resumption act shall be used only for redemption purposes. It also provides that all bonds shall be first offered to the people of this country. I The bill also authorizes certificates of m- I debtedness bearing 8 per cent interest and payable within three years, to be issued to meet any temporary deficiency of revenue. "The only object of the bond bill is to reduce the rate of interest and the] time they run, as the bonds which tin secretary is now authorized to issue bear 4 or 5 per cent interest. The bill practically separates the redemption fund from the cash the treasury, and is intended to put a stop to the practical use of proceeds of bonds to meet the deficiency in tin* treasury."

AGAIN IN CUSTODY.

An Insane Aisiii Iscs IIis Kevolvor Promiscuously On a Train. CHICAGO, Dec. 26.—John Weiuhardt,

who says he was recently discharged from tlie Insane asylum at Indianapolis, was taken into custody by the police yesterday. He was a passenger on the Mo11011 express, which left this city at S:?30 Tuesday night and the train was scarcely out ot the fjepot before Weiuhardt began to flourisTi a revolver and yell at the top of his voice. An attempt was made to quiet him, with the result that he began to shoot. One oi his bullets struck a boy in the back of the head, inflicting a slight wound.

David McQuaid, a special detective of the Monon road, assisted by some passengers, made an attempt, to arrest Weiuhardt, and a desperate fig]it followed. McQuaid was slightly wounded in the face and Weiuhardt was shot in the arm by the accidental discharge of McQuaid \s revolver. He was put off the train at Englewood, but escaped before the police could be called. He was arrested yesterday afternoon while making threats a saloon on State street. The man is palpably insane.

Mother of I'.i Children Murdered.

Payne has fled into Tennessee. Mrs. Anderson left 13 children.

Daring Deed of Four Highwaymen. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec- 26.—Four masked men armed with rifles held up a Mission street electric car from Ingleside at 8 o'clock last night and robbed two employes of the Pacific Coast Jockey club of $3,000. Clark, who carried the pouch containing the money, was shot in the leg. John Bronner, another employe of the jockey club, and Policeman John Josephs also received bullet wounds, neither of which is serious. Clark's wound will probably cause the amputation of his leg.

KATIE Am THE TENOR

A BIT OF GIRLISH ROMANCE WITH AN UNROMANTIC ENDING.

An Impressionable Maiden and the Singer Who Had Seen Much of the World—She Got the Autograph, but After It Was

All Over Felt Very Foolish.

I have heard this about a romantic young girl who became infatuated with a certain famous tenor last winter:

She saw lam in a favorite role, and his dashing appearance and superb singing made such an impression upon her that she became "opera mad," as she told her friends, but "tenor mad" would be nearer the mark.

All her pin money she saved and turned into seats for the different performances.

She bought every photograph of her favorite that she could find and grew wildly jealous of the sopranos and contraltos who sang the opposite roles to him.

Of course she couldn't go on like this without having a confidant so she selected a school friend and told her all.

There wasn't much "all" to it, but the friend thought it was delightfully romantic. "Has he ever noticed you, Katie:" "No," replied Katie, "I don't think that he has. There was one time that I thought he was looking at me over the footlights, and, oh, Laura, I became so faint, that I was afraid I'd fall off my seat. But I think he was looking at the conductor.

Yes, they look at the conductor a good deal, dear. I wonder why:" "Oh, I suppose they're fond of him."

Well, they went to three more performances, and by this time Katie was a case of "clean gone. "Laura, dear, if I could just take his hand and look into his eyes and ask him for his autograph, I think I'd be willing to die right there "I don't see any harm in that." "In my dyingV" "No, goosie! In your just shaking hands with him and asking him for his autograph. You take his best photograph, and I'll get a fountain pen, and we'll go, after tlie matinee tomorrow." "To the theater?" "Why, yes. You couldn't goto his hotel.""

So this plan was agreed on, and a nice flurry poor Katie was in. She went, and heard the opera the next day a kind of dream, and when it was over rose in a white heat of excitement. "We must give him time to dress," said the practical Laura. "So we'll go and have a cup of chocolate.

They dawdled over this refreshment for 20 minutes, and then started for the stage door. A stout, coarse man barred their passage here, and asked "Well, young ladies, what can I do for you?"

Katie was simply speechless, so Laura spoke up. "We wish to see Mr. "Ho won't see you. He's gono to his dinner, anyway. But he's got no time to see anybody unless you have an appointment with him."

Then Laura the brazen told a whopper. "Wohave,"shesaid, pining. "I don't know how we missed him." "Well, he's dining at the House," saul the doorkeeper. "He said some people might call for him. You can go there and scud in your card."

So this they decided to do, and to the hotel they went. They sat all a-tremble in the gayly decorated reception room after they had launched their cards, and presently they heard a manly tread.

Nearer, nearer, nearer. Katie seized Laura by the hand and shook with emotion.

Then a tall form appeared in the doorway, and the tenor stood before them. A little older looking, not so romantic in appearance, and holding a napkin in his hand instead of a truncheon or a sword—but still the tenor.

He advanced courteously and bowed as he looked at them and at their cards. "I do not think I have the pleasure"— he began.

Then Laura burst in with what they wanted. He frowned a little and then smiled wearily. "I am at dinner," he said, "audi have friends dining with me, but I will do what you desire.''

So they produced the pictures. There were four instead of one, and he signed them in a bold hand. "Will you pardon me?" he queried. "But I am pressed for time. I am glad to have met you.''

Then he turned to go, and Katie found her voice. "Will you—will you—1-let me shake bands with you?" she stammered.

He smiled. "Certainly," he said, and he gave her a strong hand clasp.

The poor, silly child bent forward, kissed his hand and half fell upon her knees.

He raised her instantly and said: "I thank you for this tribute to the artist. It is not for the man. My dear young lady, I am 56 years old, and I have seen too much of the world to encourage the impulses of young girls like you, who are often not in their right minds regarding stage people. Qoodby and good luck to you."

So away he went, and the two devotees trailed out into the gloaming, feeling a little ashamed of themselves and wondering whether operatic and theatrical people hadn't found brave Ponce de Leon's fountain of perpetual youth. —Polly Pry in New York Recorder.

She Has Felt Good Ever Since. "Do you think I stand too much before the looking glass?" she asked as a soft blush suffused her satin cheek. "Oh, no," he replied "there should be ten mirrors in the room. Such beauty as yours-cannot be multiplied enough." —•Boston Courier.
