CROSSED THE TROCHA
Maceo's Forces Are isafe in
Havana Province.
POSITION SECURED BY STRATEGY
The Spaniard Believed the Cuban
Were at Cacarajacara Town of
Artemis Bombarded.
Key West, Out. 26. Well-informed
passengers who arrived from Havana
last night confirm advices received by
mail tbat Maceo has croesed the trocha
at Artemiea and joined other insurgent
forces in Havana province. They de
clared that the report circulated by
Maceo of his encampment at Cacaraja
cara and a contemplated attack on that
town was merely a feint of the rebel
leader to concentrate the Spanish troops
at tbat point. That the ruse was suc
cessful is proved by the fact that General
Genzales Muniz, with large forces, was
sent in that direction to attack" Maceo,
but upon their arrival at Cacarajacara
the Spaniards found nothing but a de
serted camp.
Maceo's followers under forced marches
then made a detour to the southward
and suddenly appeared at Artemisa, the
central post on the line of the trocha.
Giving bis men temporary rest, the in
surgent chief sent word to the com
mandant that he intended to bombard
the town, giving the inhabitants five
hours in which to leave the city. Not
heeding Maceo's threats, the Spaniards
would permit no one to leave. The re
sult is known from the reports which
have already been cabled from Havana.
Maceo opened fire on the town with
his artillery and thirty shots from the
rebel dynamite jjuns were thrown into
the city. Every building is said to have
been leveled while the slaughter of non
combatants was appalling. During the
carnage Maceo and bis folio wets crossed
the line of the trocha into Havana
province, where they will be joined by
the, forces of General Aguirre.
Gaulois Is Alarmed.
Paths, Oct. 26. Gaulois today pro
tests against the interference of any na

Bays:
"Europe is especially interested not to
allow Cuba to fall under the domination
of the United States."

Constantinople, Oct. 25, via Sofia,
Bulgaria, Oct. 26. (Copyrighted, 1896,
by the Associated Press.) The report
tbat trouble of a serious nature is brew
ing here has so often been sent out that
any fresh announcement to that effect is
looked upon as having little or no found
ation, but in spite of this it is but right
to state that once more everything points
to the fact that further very serious
trouble is preparing on all sides through
out the Turkish empire.
The ball was set rolling on Wednesday
last, when the sultan signed two irades
levying a poll tax of five piastres a head
-on all Mussulmans and increasing the
taxes on sheep, public works and educa
tion from 1 to 12 per cent, the funds so
raised to be devoted to military pur
poses. This cansi-d the representatives
of the powers to send a collective note to
the port, couched in the strongest
language, calling attention to the danger
the arming of Mussulmans was certain
to create and pointing out the generally
critical situation of affairs in the. Turkish
empire.
Large purchases of arms have already
It isn't big profits that
makes the pile at the end
of the year, Mr. Grocer, you
know that. It's the many.

been made and the danger is increasing
hourly. The porte today sent a reply to
the collective note of the ambassadors.
As nsual it was evasive and in substance
simply stated that the money derived
from the additional taxes was only in
tended to complete he armament of the
Mustaphas or Landstrura, the third and
last class of Turkish army reserves, and
strengthen the armament of the other
land forces.
The action of the Turkish government
indicates tbat the empire is facing a sit
uation which may necessitate the calling
forth of all the military forces at its dis
posal, and it also indicates that the situ
ation is the gravest since the Russo
Turkish war. Of course there is alwavs
in view a probability at least that the
eultan by these movements is simply
seeking to distract the attention of his
subjects from the actual -state of affairs
brought about by his maladministration.
Seeing that the powers are really in
earnest and tbat the understanding be
tween Russia, France and Great Britain
means decisive action, he is by arma
ments practically threatening the whole
sale massacre of Christians and announc
ing that Turkey will resist to the utmost
any attack from the outside.
Happily there is one feature of the
crisis which has a soothing influence
upon Abdu Hamid. This is the finan
cial situation. It is about as bad as it
possibly can be. All negotiations upon
the part of the Turkish government for a
temporary loan have failed, and the con
dition of the treasury is one of utter
helplessness. On top of this the price of
bread has risen 40 per cent, and bids
fair to rise still higher as the price of
wheat goes up. -This has decidedly ag
gravated the prevailing distress and con
sequent discontent.
The police continue making arrests.
It is understood that many more bombs
have been found. In Armenia, the
greatest apprehension exists. Rumors
of a recent massacre in Ejrin are just
reaching here, in spite of efforts made
by the porte to suppress anything but
official news.

- The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional , treatment. ' Hall's Catarrh
Care is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the toun
dation of the- disease, and - giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have no much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
thai it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials. Address:

CIS LIC BR ATION OF FLAG DAT.
Cbairman Banna Urge Special Efforts
ffext Saturday.
Chicago, Oct. 26. Special to The
Chronicle, Chairman Hanna today
telegraphed the chairman of the Repub
lican State Central Committees, urging
them to make a special effort for the
celebratiou of flag day, next Saturday,
by calling upon Republicans everywhere
to display the national colors and as
semble end hear patriotic speeches and
participate in appropriate exercises.
Only one instance of political coercion
has been absolutely proven. It is that
of the dismissal of C. E. Wilson, news
editor of the Pueblo (Colorado) Call, for
carrying a McKinley banner in the St.
Louis McKinley parade. His affidavit
to this effect, together with a copy of
the letter of dismissal recei7ed by him,
reached Republican national committee
headquarters today, and shows that the
coercion is not altogether upoD the side
ot the free silver advocates.
Rev. O. E. Murray, pastor of the
Paulina street Methodist church, Chi
cago, has investigated the charge of the
New York "Voice" prohibition organ,
that Major McKinley or bis wife have
rented property in Canton which is a
saloon, and denounces the statement as
absolutely false.
F. P. Sargent, grand master of the
locomotive firemen, has followed Chief
P. M. Arthur with the announcement
that he will vote for McKinley and that
he never, knowingly, signed a petition ;
or memorial in favor of Iree silver.
Reports received by Cbairman Hanna
today confirms bis statement tbat Mc
Kinley and Hobart will carry all but
twelve states and that the Republican
electoral vote will not be less than 302.
This Is Tour Opportunity.
