Insurgents, According to Report, Getting
Worsted.
Washington, Feb. 24. The Span
ish minister has received the follow.
ing advices from Havana:
Bands of insurgents are marauding
to the north of Taruco with the inten
tion of diverting the attention of the
troops, and to permit Gomez and
Maceo to cross to Matanzas and enter
the Cienega de Sapata. The roads to
it are guarded by the commands of
Echague and Francis. -
One of the insurgent bands recently
entered the town of San Antonio del
Rio Blanco and was defeated by the
Guadalaia battalion. The encounter
took place at the Ovldeo plantation
The insurgents 1 s i three killed, four
prisoners, eight horses and arms and
ammunition. "
They carried away several wounded.
Colonel Seguara has captured the
rebel chief Enliseta between Catalina
and Guines.
A small column organized by the
militiry commander of Marina with
volunteers and firemen, defeated com
pletely the bands of Villa Neuva and
Valdouero, killing 20 and capturing 15
prisoners and 10 horses with saddles
and a few machetes. The reports are
that the insurgents carried away
many, wounded.
Generals Aldecoa and Linares and
Colonel Hernaedez met in the night,
after passing the river Ppedega, the
band of Maceo retreating after having
been defeated by Colonel Hernandez.
The engagement lasted one hour,
and six of the enemy were killed.
The troops arrived at Catalinalato in
the night with two men wonnded.
Knowing by the report of a spy that
the enemy was at the plantation
Elegato, Colonel Fort went to meet
them. About 2i miles from the plan
tation strong groops of the enemy
began firing with the intention of
deceiving the government troops, but
Colonel Fort pursued hi3 way to the
plantation and were met by the fire of
the enemy, who were intrenched in a
strong position, formed in half circles,
according to their usual tactics.
The troops disloged them from the
sides by the fire of the artillery, the
center being taken by the infantry
The enemy made a final stand in the
ruins of the hut, where they were
stormed by the troops of the
Peoniero regiment and two companies
of the Veragua battalion. The losses
of the enemy were 10 killed- on the
field and about 30- carried away.
Many, were wounded. The bands
engaged by the government, columns
were those of Maceo, Trayas, Parras
Cardenas, and Calmuga, united with
a force of about 4000 to 5000. The
enemy tried to make a last stand, but
were dispersed, the principal groups
retreating toward the Esperanza hills.
The government casualties were one
captain and six soldiers dangerously
wounded and six others more or less
wounded.
Washington, Feb. 23. The prob.
abilities are that the Cuban question
and the tariff, as effected by the silver
substitute, will divide the greater part
of the senate during the present
week. There will be an effort Mon
day by Dubois, chairman of the com
mittee on public lands, to secure unJ
-animous consent to lay theCuban reso
lution aside to permit the considers
tion of the bill extending the limit of
time which suits may be brought to
secure the restoration of certain
granted lands to the ' government,
The present limitation expires in
March, and the president, has, by
special message to congress, asked for
immediate action. This bill is one
which will excite some debate, but it
is probable an amicable arrangement
will be made for its consideration dur
ing the week, if not Monday.
It is the purpose of the advocates of
Cuban recognition to keep the ques
tion as well to the front as they can
until it shall - be disposed of, though
they are not hopeful of securing a vote
this week.
The house is pushing ahead the ap
propriation bills, with all possible
speed, with a view to an early final ad
journment. Already five of the thirteen
general appropriation bills have been
sent to the senate Ihe army, military,
academy, urgent deficiency, diplomatic
and. consular and agricultural. The
District of Columbia bill has in it sev
eral disputed items, but will, it is be
lieved, cause little trouble when it is
again brought ' into the house. The
Indian bill is now under consideration,
and the legislative, executive and ju
dicial, the next in order, is on tho cal
endar. The naval and postoflice bills
will be brought in this week. When
these are disposed of, only three will
remain the sundry civil, general de
ficiency and fortifications.

New YORK, Fob. 22. A upecial
the World from London says:
The again-darkening prospect for
Great Britai n all over the world may
powerfully and speedily operate upon
the premier's mind to force a settle
ment of the Venezuela question along
lines of arbitration. Russia, apparently
supine for yoars, is dangerously ex
tending her power. This week saw
her reassert her control of the Balkan
states. The week before saw her es
tablish her practical suzerainty over
Turkey. The meager news from Corea,
announcing her occupation of Seoul,
indicates that she means to defy Japan
as well as British influence in China.
The Italian reverses in Abyssinia
presage the fall of Great Britain's
only powerful friend.
France is giving new and splendid
assurances oi ber stability and
strength, and may be counted upon
to side with Russia, unless indeed
Great Britain has made an alliance
with the czar. Germany remains
sullenly hostile. The report from the
Transvaal that the Boers, on the 27th
anniversary of their victory over the
British at Majuba hill, will declare
their complete suzerainty, would, if
true, compel war with the Transvaal
and lead to the strong probability of
German intervention.
The grounding of a German vessel
with Cecil Rhodes on board in the
Suez canal has started England by re
vealing the certainty that if a vessel
were blown up there in a war it would
block the canal for weeks. The Graphic
says:
"A block of three weeks might lose
us India forever. - Indeed, the man
who declared that the cape of Good
Hope would some day be recognized as
the pivot of the empire may not have
been without wisdom."
Cecil Rhodes really contemplated an
independent United States of South
Africa. Dosperate at the loss of
power and of recognition here, he
may carry out that desigu.
A Little Girl's Horrlblo Deatly
Nrw York, Feb. 22. Lillian Cece
lia Lyons, the lyear-old daughter of
Daniel Lyons, of Brooklyn, was burned
to death in her bedroom today. The
fire started through the accidental ex
plosion of an oil stove, which had
been used to heat the room. Lillian,
who was an epileptic, was in bed at
the time. She was ' unable to move
without assistance. The bedclothes
quickly became ignited and the girl
was enveloped in flames, before she
could be rescued. The streams of the
rl attracted the attention of neigh
bors. They sucaoeded in gotting the
girl from the burning building,
fore doctors arrived, however,
girl died in horrible agony.

Chattanooga, Tenn., Feb. 22. A
special to the News from Asbeville, N.
says Bill Nye died there this after
noon. ;
His wife, two sons and two neighbors
were at his bedside when the end came.
Ten days ago he had a stroke of par
alysis much more severe than the one
at Paterson, N. J., when the cruel
story that he was drunk was sent out.
No funeral arrangements have been
made. Mr. Nye came to this section
eight years ago in search of health,
and finally bought a farm, where he
built a palatial home.

A Profitable Evening.
At the residence of Mrs. Smith
French last Friday was a most pleas
ant and profitable gathering of young
people. The object of the gathering
was the exercise of the reasoning fac
ulties, and the subject of study was the
American penny, the common little
copper cent, wnicn, ordinarily, would
not afford a great theory for thought,
but when closely studied, furnishes
abundant material for reflection. The
little coin, apparently so insignificant,
afforded material for twenty-eight
questions which each guest was ex
pected to answer, some of them most
perplexing, though all found either on
the coin or associated with it. Each
guest was furnished a handsomely
hand-painted card, with pencil and
penny attached, the handiwork of Miss
Louise Ruch, on which was written
the different questions. All entered
into the study with deep interest, and
a variety of answers were made to the
different questions, manyof them dis
playing unusual familiarity with the
subjects embodied In the queries. Mlsa
Mabel Riddell, however, displayed, the
greatest adaptability, answering cor-
recly twenty-three of the twenty-

The Discovery Saved His Life.
Mr. G. Callouette, Druggist, Beavers
vilie, 111., says: "To Dr.King'g New
Discovery I owe my life. , Waa taken
with La Grippe and tried all the phy
sicians for miles about, but of no avail
and was given up and told I could not
live. Having Dr. King s isew Dis
covery in my store I sent for a bottle
and began its use and from the first
dose began to get better, and after us
ing three bottles was up and about
again. It is worth its weight in gold.
We won't keep store or house without
it." Get a free trial at Blakeley &

The High School Seniors.
The members of the 96 senior class
of The Dalles High School have, dur
ing the winter, held some very inter
esting sessions, the object of which
has been mutual benefit and mental
advancement. The class met last
evening with Miss Pearl Butler, all
being present. At the reunion last
evening the members answered to the
roll call, each with a quotation from
some well-known author, after which
the following programme was rendered:
Essay, "The Strawberry Industry of
Hood River," Miss Virginia Cooper.
Review, "Mohammed's Mission and
Koran," Miss Daisy Allaway.
Recitation, "Oniya Tramp," Master
Curtis Egbert.
The president, Master Homer
Angell, and vice-president, Miss Pearl .
Buttler, each addressed the class in
very fitting and brief speeches, and
after the business of the meeting bad
been disposed of, the questions.
'Should Latin be Taught in the High
School?" and "Has the American In
dian Been Fairly Treated by the United
States?" were debated. The discus
sion was spirited, and in each the ques
tion was decided in favor of the anlrm
ive.
