It Was Brought About Through Intr-
gues of His Enemies.
New York, Jan. 24. A special from
Havana to the World, after reviewing in
detail the intrigues in Cuba to bring
about the recall of General Campos
says :
"General Campos refused to resign
and placed himself in the hands of the
Spanish ministry. ' The responsibility
was thrown upon the latter.
"The greatest difficulty in the way of
the success of the plot was the queen re
gent of Spain. This excellent woman is
a devoted friend of General Campos,
whom she regards as a father to her.
Her consent was necessary before Gen
eral Campos could be removed. A bold
stroke was made to secure this. It was
represented to the queen that the life of
the captain-generel was in danger from
the Havana mob: that his valor and
tenacity would prevent him from avoid
ing or yielding, and the only safe thing
to do to get him out of the way was to
recall him. The fact was ignored that
there were plenty of troops within call,
and that General Campos himself re
ported no disorder. The queen consent
ed to his recall and the enemies of the
general triumphed.

Sandy Hook, Jan. 26. The American
liner St. Paul, from Southampton, for
New York, struck the outer bar, off the
Hotel Brighton, at Long Branch, N. J
during a dense foe, between 1 and 2
o'clock this morning. She was shortly
afterwards discovered by the patrol from
the Long Branch life-saving service, and
preparations were made to open com
munication with her. The apparatus
was dragged to the place and a shot was
fired across the vessel, a hawser was
placed on board and the breeches-buoy
sent off. The people on board desiredto
remain by the vessel, as there was no
danger. Messages were sent ashore not
ifying the agents of the maritime ex
change and the wrecking companies of
the accident.
Crews from Seabright, -Monmouth
Beach and the Long Branch life-saving
stations were all in attendance on the
steamer. The wind was light, south
west, with a long ground swell.

it is said there were only four feet of

shore say the vessel may not be floated
for a week or more.
The wrecking-tug Hustler passed ,ont
at 9:20 a. m., to render assistance to the
vessel, but at 10 a. m. no passengers had
been removed from the steamer. At
that time two tugs were beside the
steamer, and another on the way from
New York. A stern line. was put out to
hold the vessel in the position she
struck. This morning she appeared to
be leaking, dirty water coming from the
ship's pumps.
This afternoon the life-saving crews
commenced the transfer of the St. Paul
passengers to another steamer,
From the fact that she ran aground at
high water, it is thought she will not be
easily floated. The next high water
will be a little before 2 o'clock, and an
effort will then be made to pull her off.
Meantime everything that can be re-
moved win oe taken from the vessel in
order to lighten her. Nine tugs are now
with her,

adds that the Transvaal government has

In view ot the foregoing, it is believed
here that neither Hammond nor any
other American is in serious peril. The
state department has cabled Manian to

that end make the Transvaal govern

Remarks.
Editor Chronicle:
Seeing in your issue of January 15th
that the road through Thompson's Ad
dition was in a fearful condition and has
been the cause of numerous complaints
I would like you to state if its condition
was any worse through '95 than it has
been for the last ten or twelve years
I went over it every week, and when
ever it needed repairs, they were done,
Some of your streets in The Dalles are as
bad, or even worse, than Thompson's
Addition.
Now, if vour Commercial Club is suf
fering so for exercise, and to do good for
the country, let them get a dozen
shovels at -The Dalles and keep the
money at home, in place of sending it to
Chicago for a bowling ailej, and start in
at The Dalles, right at home. After
they get the mud out there, if they want
to do some more good for the country,
come to Thompson's Addition and take
the road on out with their shovels,
That would have more effect than wind
in newspapers. I kept the road through
Thompson's Addition and ten miles out
in repair through '95, and am willing to
leave it to people who pass oyer it if the
condition was not as good, if not better,
in '95 than it generally is.

Means Adopted br Campos for Stopping
the Insurgents,
New York, Jan. 27. A special to the
World from Havana savs :
The plan of campaigh adopted bv the
commander-in-chief ofthe Spanish forces
now in Cuba has been divulged by sever
al officers of high rank, whose name
must be kept secret.
General Campos established what be
came known as the "wall of men." He
distributed a large number of Spanish
troops in such a manner that tbey prac
tically formed a solid line from coast
coast. His line began in the north
about five miles west of Havana, and ex
tended south to the Bay of Matamano,
At the time this plan was adopted
Gomez bad announced that be would
take his command not only into Havana
province, but he would walk into Pinar
del Rio, and as tar as be possibly could
Campos determined to prevent Gomez
from carrying out his project. The wall
of men was well to the westward of the
railroad line between Havana and Bata
bano. Gomez and Maceo not only suc
ceeded in crossing Campos' line, but re-
crossed it several times, and Gomez and
Maceo separated west of it two weeks
ago. Maceo remained in Pinar del Kio
province, -doing about as he pleased
while Gomez invaded Havana province
again, and one time camped within 15
miles of the capital of Cuba.
Reports were printed in the United
States that Gomez was at the gates
Havana and that it was only a question
of a few hours when he would enter the
city. But Gomez had no intention of
attacking this city. He openly declared
that his only object is to tire out the
Spanish troops.
A large number of armored cars have
been ordered. At least 3000 armed
troops will be kept constantly moving
over the railroad.
Maceo and his command, the Spanish
generals say, cannot escape. He is
looked upon as an "easy mark." Many
of his troops are believed to be wounded
ii Maceo tries to go east ne will run up
against a new wall of men much strong
er than, be broke through some weeks
ago. If he tries to escape west, the
Spanish argue, he will have to march to
sea. where his only chance to get away
will be in boats.
The Spanish commanders fear only
Gomez. Although he is nearly 68 years
old, they recognize in him one of the
ablest of fighting men, and an expert
tactician. ' - .

Ohio Legislator Bays He Did Mot Accept
a .Bribe.
Cincinnati, Jan. 27. The Commercial
Gazette has received the following card
from Rev. James A. Spear, the member
of the Ohio legislature accused of con
sidering an offer to pay for securing a
constituent an appointment in the ser
vice of the state :
"The charges against me are false. I
did not receive one cent from the guard
ship.' Was offered $300 for it. This foes
was all raised by disappointed candi
dates. The reports that I had some no
tion of resigning is true, but I am over
my scare now. I am willing and anxious
that an investigation shall be made by
the general assembly."
As stated in these dispatches last
night, the charges against Rev. James
A. Spear were that he considered an,
offer of $300 to secure the appointment
of a constituent as a guard in the Ohio
penitentiary, The fact is, Representa
tive Spear did not secure that appoint

Brown Has Eluded Bis Pursuers.
Rosebubo, Or., Jan 27. News came
tonight from Myrtle point that murder
er Sam G. Brown has again eluded his
pursuers. Friday night he stayed at a
ranch near Gravel Ford, 25 miles east of
Myrtle Point. He was much exhausted,
but left early Saturday morning. Sheriff
Gage, who was a short time behind him,
tracked him to the east and north forks
of the Coquille river. There be found
where Brown had rolled a five-foot log
into the river and evideutly embarked.
A log, supposed to be the same one, was
found lodged a short distance below.
There was no trace of Brown having
landed, and be is believed to have been
drowned. The water is very swift, and
Brown may not have been strong enough
to hold on. Another theory is that this
is a ruse to mislead the officers. A short
time will probably determine.
Andy Pool, who is held on the charge
of assisting Brown to escape, waived ex
amination and his bond was fixed at $500.
