Details of the Cacarapiara fight have been received and show that the Cubans won a great victory and were not defeated, as the tipauish official report stated. Maceo was not present. The insurgents numbered 2,000 under IJelgado and Socarras and occupied a strong fortified position. Their position was attacked by Spaniards under lieu. Inelan, who were repulsed repeatedly. Finally the insurgents charged and drove the Spaniards, the latter retreating to Hahla Honda, and being

continually harassed. j The Spanish loss was about two hundred killed and nearly three hundred wounded. Insurgents' loss wai Mlight, owing to tho protection of hills. liou. Kernnll has been recalled, and It is said will be court-martialed for falsing to arrive in time to aid Gea. luclan. The fire at I'tiuta Urava was very destructive. The entire town was burned. Tho glare was seen in Havana and caused great excitement. Two forts surrendered to the insurgents.

Wasiii.notox, May 7. The home resolution for a final adjournment on the ISth of the present month is considered in the senate as too early a date. The resolution was referred to the committee on appropriations, and will uot lie reported back to tlie senate until the appropriation bills are in a fair way to be out of the road within a known period of time It is safe to assume that Mr. Allison will not consider the resolution for at least ton days, and the conclusion of

senators who have discussed the question with members of the committee is

that an adjournment will be had not earlier than Juue 1. The only snags

in the way the Peffcr resolution to investigate the bond sales and the Dupont case will be out of the way early, by agreement as to when the vote shall be taken, and it is expected that nothing will then Interfere with the continuous consideration of appropriation bills and the reception of conference reports on .och bills as mav be in the hands of

The senate committee on foreign relations have reached a compromisa on the Spanieling and Scrymser bills before it for the construction of a cable to Japan by way of Hawaii. The compromise measure which Senator Frye was directed to report is in the shape of a bill directing the postmaster-general to contract with the lowest bidder for the construction of a telegraphic cable between the United States and Japan by the way of Hawaii and tho Midway islands. It is stipulated that the price hall not exceed SIGO.OOO a year, aud that after the payment of this sum for a period of 20 years, during which time and forever afterward the comnaiiy shall carry government message! free of all cost.

purchased by Cuba in tho Uuiteel States at an advantage of no less than 20 percent., if the tarifi did uot stand

in the way. On this basis th United States are aantially deprived of a commerce atnoimtinir to 517,000,000 or S1S,on which a profit of at least SI, 500, 000 would bo realised. Oa the other hand, SO per cent, of the total products of Cuba are consumed in the United States, and there

is a direct export tax on sugar anil tobacco amounting to over 51,000.000, which the government of Spain, through its tariff arrangement, compels the American consumer to pay into its treasury. This Is the

visible contribution, but as those products, as well as all the others, are taxed in various other indirect ways, the consumers in this country are affected further to an extent that cannot be reduced to figures. Speaking on this subject, a well informell Cuban of New York said: 'Whatever aelvantagcs this country might derive from Its commerce with Cuba arc practically absorbed by the Spanish government through its tarifi arrangements. The Cubans have suffered so much from the effect of tho high tariff that to a unit they arc against it, and there is no doubt that one of the first steps taken by the government of tho republic of Cuba, should the revolution triumph, tvould be to lower the rates at least 75 or SO per cenL, and this would meau an immediate increase of commerce of the United Suites with Cuba ofSU.000,-

000 or 510,000,00a "Spain knows that emancipation of tha island would mean a great loss to

her manufacturers and merchants, for

Senator Hhcrmnn a 1 Pettifogger JugglliiK with Flgnrr. Senator Sherman's paper in tho Forum, entitled "Deficiency of Revenue the Causo of Financial Ills," is conspicuously deficient alike In fairness aud accuracy. The whole comparison between the operation of tho Mclvlnlcy law and the Wilson law is palpably disingenuous. In trying to traverse the president's statement that tho McKinlery act was inefficient for purposes of revenue, Mr. Sherman presents a comparison between the total receipts and the total expenditures of the government from October! 890, to November, 1S02 that is, from tho passngo of the McKinley law to tho election of Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Sherman's reason for stopping thero is because "any tariff law denounced by the party in power, with a promiso to repeal it and reduco dutios would prevent importations under tlio old law, and thus re

duce tho revenue" Hut Mr. Sherman

makes no allowance for tho contraction of revenue under tho earlier operation of tho Wilson law, duo to tho

withdrawal of whisky from bond to escape the increased duty, and tho heavy imports of sugar in anticipation of tho placing of that commodity on tho dutiable list Senator Sherman makes ''o brond statement that "tho Wilson law has

free ships, writes: "If the permission to import ships from abroad would ruin all our shipyards, why has not the permission we have always had from tho time when railroads were first built in this country ruined all

our engine works? Is there mora skilled labor in building an iron steam

ship than there is in building an iron locomotive? In fact, is not the skilled labor in the former case vor much less? We began without let or hindrance to import railroad engines from England to equip our railroads. Then we had to build shops to ropair thom, and this led to building them. Thia elispatch shows tho result. Philadelphia is much further from Russia than is Glasgow or Newcastle. The freight and insurance arc consequently great er, and yet thedirectors of the Siberian Railway Co. send to Philadelphia for their railroad engines to Philadelphia, the city of Mr. Cramp, who went to Washington last year and found means to kill the free ship bill which, but for his machinations, would havs passed by a larirc majority. "Contir ess, for some reason or other took pity on poor Mr. Cramp and would not let his shipyard suffer. With all deference to Mr. Cramp and his associates, I do not think that they have all along consulted what would bo their own interests In opposing frco ships, and I knovt, and so docs every

body else who has given the subject an unprejudiced consideration, that they and they alone havo been tha cause of tho almost total annihilation of the American merchant marine. Had our government in years past pursued the same policy in regard to ships that it pursued in regard to railroad engines, we should to-day import no more of the former than of tho latter.

On tho contrary, we should havo at leust divided both the ship building

and the carrying trado with England,

and nrobably havo surpassed her in

each of them. There is a lessoti ia

this Philadelphia dispatch. Locomo

tlves of our own build aro shipped to

Russia, and the profit of building them accrues tr American citizens." Hut thuv en in a Hritlsh ship, aud tho

A tiny incandescent lamp, fed from a single storage battery conceded in the gun stock, is mounted within a shield at the muzzle of the gun, and a faint ray of light calculateil to indicate the position of its source h exposeel in the direction of the shooter's eye, and this is Miflicicut to enable him to obtain the required alignment with the back sight and with the target, be i animate or innniintitc. The specitil application of tlie sight is for game ahoiti.ig at night and for naval service, such, for instance, us the illumination of a i.inc.liine gun used against torpedo attacks (luring the night.

A SHINING EXAMPLE of what may be accomplished by never varying devotion to a single purpose is seen in the history of the McCormick Harvesting Machine Co., Chicago. For 65 years they have simply been building grain and grass-cutting machinery, and while there are probably forty manufacturers in this line, it is safe to say that the McCormick Company builds one-third of all the binders, reapers and mowers used throughout the entire world.
