MARIN 15 A FAILURE

His Campaign Against the Insurgents Unsuccessful.

HIS PROGRAM IS ABANDONED.

Vain Attempt to Force a llattle Witli Gomez Delays II is Keturn to Havana. He Is Xoiv Trying to Kelleve Belcajured

Towns—Report Brought by a Cuban

Stowaway. HAVANA, Feb. 10.—The fighting in

Piiiar province in the last few days has been the most severe since the beginning of the war. The conditions to which the Spanish forces in the west are reduced has led Marin to abandon the attempt to force a battle with Gomez, and to delay his return to Havana and to go to the relief of the beleagured towns.

When General Marin arriven in Candelaria after the attack of Macco upon that town had been repulsed, he offered his congratulations to the garrison and to the people upon their heroic defense. He offered a title to the town and decorated all its defenders with the red cross of military merit and those amongst the garrison who had most distinguished themselves ho decorated with the cross of San Fernando.

It is now* reported that the members of the garrison, which consisted of 700 volunteers, saw 10,000 cavalry passing Caudelaria from a church tower in the village. A letter signed by Maceo and Miro was then written to the colonel of the volunteers, Ahuamara, and to the priest, demanding the surrender of the village. This was refused.

It is admitted that notwithstanding the defense offered several of the insurgents succeeded in entering the town and burned six houses before the column of Colonel Uanellacaine to the assistance of the hard-pressed garrison. Several of the insurgent dead were found in the town churchyard.

Colonel Canella has been the recipient of some not very gentle attentions from the so-called Amazons who are in the field with the insurgents. Recently he saw one of these women warriors riding on horseback with her loosened hair streaming behind her. and she called upon the men who were following her to lire upon the troops.

General Marin with the column of Canella arrived at Artemiza and had. an escort of two squadrons from there to Guanajay. General Eoha.ap.ie has advised him that the insurgents have burned the station at Ceiba Agua.

At 6 o'clock yesterday morning a train running towards Havana was derailed at the station of Govea. Several cars were de stroyed. The accident was believed to have been due to the bad condition of the temporary track. Another train arrived at Havana, having on board a colonel, a chief of staff and Major Sua re Inclan.

In the engagement between Colonel Segura and the insurgents under Maceo at Sniicrisfobal the troops lost three officers kill'ed and three wounded. Among them was Captain Gil de Gil, who was distinguished for his talent. Seven soldiers wen1 killed and 40 wounded.

At Rio Seco the insurgents have burned the eratnd plantation at Esperanza (Jardenas, with a loss of $-400,000. At San Juan Martinez they have burned live farm laborers and have killed with a machete a boy 14 years old. At Las Cruces they hanged Sebastian Torres, who left nine children orphans.

At Jovellanos the band of Juan Vazuez destroyed some tobacco houses. At Vuelta Aba jo 13 members of the band of Eulogio Garcia surrendered to the authorities and were afterward set at liberty.

Saturday night the insurgents entered the village of Oalvario, 15 miles from Havana, and burned the records there and captured two policemen. In the morning they went in the direction of Ootoro.

Secret Mission to tlie United States. KEY WEST, Feb. 10.—The three-mast

ed schooner which passed here yesterday signalled the pilot boat Nonpareil and informed the captain he was from Cuba and that he had on board two stowaways. They announced themselves as Dr. Castillo and servant. Dr. Castillo stated that he was surgeon general of the Cuban army and that he left the camp of General Gromez about 10 days ago for the United States on a secret mission of importance. He said that Gomez was encamped in the southern part of Cuba with a large army and plenty of provisions and ammunition. He also said that the ultimate success of the Cubans was assured in a short time.

MAN AND WOMAN DROWNED.

They Had Keen Out Riding and Got Into an Overflowed River. MIDDLETOWN, N. Y., Feb. 10.—Peter

L. Atkins, proprietor of a wagon repair shop in this city, took Maud Kelly, aged 23, out driving Saturday night. They crossed Wallkill river at Hopkins bridge, and in the darkness Atkins drove off the road into the flooded meadow. The water was nine feet deep, and the two stood on the seat of the wagon calling for help.

A Frenchman named Baupre went to their assistance with a lantern, but when the water reached his hips he was obliged to retire. The two succumbed to the intense cold and both sank beneath the flood after an hour's suffering. Searching parties went out early yesterday morning and at noon Atkins' body was found. Last night the girl's body was found fast to a barb wire fence half a mile down the stream.

FORECAST OF CONGRESS.

Wliai Will Probably Be Accomplished by I tie Senate and House This Week. WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—The first bus

iness of importance before the senate this week probably will be the vote on Senator Quay's resolution for the recommitment of the revenue tariff bill to the committee on finance. Senator Smith of New Jersey is announced to make a speech on the Monroe doctrine and Senator Blanchard on the same subject.

The Hansbrough resolution in regard to the distribution of seed by the agricultural department will by agreement be taken up early in the week, and it is the purpose of the committee on appropriations to get the appropriation bills in rapid succession and out of the way as soon as possible. Four of these bills have already been reported from committee and others will follow as speedily as the committee can turn them out after their passage by the house.

There will be an effort to secure an adjournment from Thursday until Monday to permit the Pacific railroad's committee to continue its hearings.

It is probable that the better part of the week will be given up to the appropriation. The Republicans expect to get up the question of the senate reorganization toward the latter part of the week and if they succeed this will consume considerable time.

The interest in the Quay resolution is enhanced by the knowledge that the vote will be very close. The Republicans expect to poll their full vote of 44 members for recommittal, and they are not without hope that they may get a vote or two from the Democratic side. This claim is, however, vigorously contested by the Democrats, who say they will have a lull Democratic and Populist vote against this proposition. If they succeed in defeating the resolution the effect will be to place the silver substitute for the tariff bill before the senate, but it is not expected that it will be taken up immediately. Senators incline to the belief that in no event can the tariff-silver bill be disposed of within less than a month's time.

House Forecast.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—The general debate on the free coinage substitute for the bond bill, which was discussed day and night for four days in the house last week, will close today. It is the general expectation that a vote will be reached sometime on Tuesday. As to the result there is no sort of doubt. Mr. Dingley's motion to non-concur and insist on the house bill will carry by a large majority, probably exceeding 100 if there is a full house.

It is not believed that Mr. Crisp's motion to concur in the free coinage substitute will muster over 100 votes. If an opportunity is given to concur in the last three sections of the bill, to redeem greenbacks in gold or silver at the option of the government to coin the seigniorage and to retire national banks of a less denomination than $10, the vote may be close, but it is thought that parliamentary manipulation will prevent votes except on the main propositions.

The resolution to censure Mr. Bayard can be presented at any time during the week, but it may be withheld until the pending appropriation bills, the agricultural, army and District of Columbia, are out of the way.

RESULT OF A FIRE.

Two Children instantly Killed and a Young Man .Seriously Injured.

Brooklyn, Feb. 10.—Two children were instantly killed and one young man seriously injured as the result of a lire which occurred in a cottage on Fort Hamilton avenue. The victims are Minnie Specht, 9 years old, and Harry Botzen, 7 years old, both killed, Edward Hill, 18 years old, fracture of the thigh, severe scalp wounds si:id r,.- m-ions of the body. The cottage wvs auoccupied and the fire started from an unknown cause and the building was burned to the ground.

Later in the day while a crowd of children and others were viewing the ruins the chimney fell without warning, burying the three mentioned. The work of extricating the victims was begun at once and Hill was brought out first. He was alive, but in a

Liinc®

very seri

ous condition. It was fully an hour before the bodies of the children were recovered.

Train Blown From the Track. GEORGETOWN, Colo., Feb. 10.—The

re alar passenger train which left Denver at '8 o'clock yesterday morning was blown from the track half a mile from the depot here at 12:10.
