Another Expedition Bound
for the Island.
SPANISH MINISTER PROTESTS
What Campos TUoaght Would Prove
Effective Against the Insurgents
Called to Stop Them Gomes'
Only reared.
Washington, Jan. 27. The Spanish
minister has informed the state depart
ment that last Fxiday night the steamer
B. W. Hawkins left New York with an
expedition of 150 men, arms and am
munition, in command of Calixto Gar
cia, that the ammunition confiscated at
Cedar Keyes, Fla., is ready to be em
barked on a schooner to join the Garcia
expedition at sea, and that the steamer
Commodore, at Wilmington, N. C, in
port, is in the conspiracy.
. The secretary of the treasury tele
graphed this statement to all collectors
along the South Atlantic coast with in
structions to consult tbe United States
attorneys and take whatever action may
be necessary to prevent any violation of
international law.
"A WALL OF MEN."
Means Adopted by Campos for .Stopping
the Insurgents.
New Yokk, Jan. 27. A special to the
World from Havana says :
The plan of campaign adopted by tbe
commander-in-chief of the Spanish forces
now in Cuba has been divulged by sever
al officers of high rank, whose names
must be kept secret.
General Campos established what be
came known as tbe "wall of men." He
distributed a large number of Spanish
troops in such a manner that they prac
tically formed a solid line from coast to
coast. His line began in tbe north,
about five miles west of Havana, and ex
tended south to the Bay of Matamano.
At the time this plan was adopted,
Gomez had announced that he would
take his command not only into Havana
province, but he would walk into Pmar
del Rio, and as tar as he 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 Rio
province, doing about as he pleased
while Gomez' invaded Havana province
again, and one time camped within 15
miles of the capital of Cnba.
Reports were printed in the United
States that Gomes was at the gates of
Havana and that it was only a question
of a few hours when he would enter the
city. Bnt 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
troopB 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.
If Maceo tries to go east he will run up
against a new wall of men much strong
er than he broke through some weeks
ago. If he tries to escape west, the
Spanish argue, he will have to march to
sea, where his only cnance to get away
will be in boats.
Tbe Spanish . commanders fear only
Gomez. Although he is nearly 68 years
old, they recognize in bim one of the
ablest of fighting men, and an expert
tactician. '
Judge Pee kham's First Decision
Washington, Jan. 27. Justice Peck-
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
I l Y"r I lift I
bam, fabe new member of tbe supreme
court, delivered bia first opinion today
in a case involving the right of the gov
ernment to condemn the real estate- of
the Gettysburg Electric Railway Com
pany as a part of the National Park, lo
cated upon the Gettysbnrg battle
ground. The court below decided that
the act of congress authorizing tbe es
tablishment of a park, as far as it ap
plied to the condemnation of private
property, was unconstitutional. Justice
Feckham's decieion reversed this ruling,
sustaining the condemnation proceed
ings. The case is important, as it ex
tends considerably tbe authority of the
general government in the condemna
tion proceedings.
CHARGES DENIED.
Ohio Legislator says He Did Not Accept
a Bribe. .
Cixcixnati, Jan. 27. The Commercial
Gazette has received the following ca-d
from Rev. James A. Spear, the member
of the Ohio legislature accused of con
sidering an offer to pay for securing a
constituent an'app ointment 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 fuss
was all raised by disappointed candi
dates. The reports that I had some no
tion of resigning is true, but I am over
ray 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
ment. Brown Das Eluded His Pursuers.
Roseburg, Or., Jan 27. News came
tonight from Myrtle point that, murder
er Sam G. Brown has again eluded Mb
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 he found
where Brown had rolled a five-foot log
into the river and evidently embarked.
A log, supposed to be the same one, was
found lodgt-d a short distance below.
There was no trace of Brown having
landed, and he is believed to have been
drowned. The water is very swift, and
Brown may not have been strong enough
to hold on. Another theory ja that this
is a ruse to mislead the officers. A short
time will probably determine.
Andy Fool, who is held on the charge
of assisting Brown to escape, waived ex
amination and bis bond was fixed at $500.
Stopped by Insurgents. -
Havana, Jan. 27. Tbe- passenger
trains which wentfrom Havana to Gua
na ja, leaving the latter place at 4 p. m.
tor a return trip, was held up last night
by the insurgents near San Antonio.
The passengers were ordered to . leave
tbe train. When they had gone tbe
rebels burned tbe cars and destroyed the
engine. This train. had no armored cars,
because the company bad none ready.
Some are being constructed for passen
gers, and when they are finished they
will be put on all trains. Then, it is
believed, people may travel over the
island in safety. -

Geo. W. Jenkins, editor of the Santa
Maria "Times," Cal., in speaking of the
various ailments of. children saidr
"When my children have croup there is
only one patent medicine I ever uee, and
cnac is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
It possesses some medical properties
that relieve the little sufferers immedi
ately. It is, in my opinion, the beet
cough medicine in the market." If this
remedy is freely given as soon as the
croup cough appears it will prevent the
attack. It is also an ideal remedy for
whooping cough. There is no danger in
giving it to children, as it contains noth
ing injurious. For sale by Blakeley &
Houghton, Druggist.'
If there is any one thing that needs
to be purified, it is politics, so the re
former says, and many agree thereto.
But blood tells, and as a blood purifier
and liver corrector Simmons Liver Reg
ulator is the best medicine. "I use it in
preference to any other." So wrote Mr.
6. H. Hysell, of Middleport, Ohio. And
