ALL QUIET AT HAVANA, Insurgents Looking for Mone Mu nitions of War, l-'HOM HAVANA. Havana , .Ian. t). The Insurgents, according to advices from the front- today, arc still moving toward province l'lnar del Mo, and keeping near the coast. It Isbellevcd they nroawait Ing tho arrival of an expedition with a supply of ammunition, arms etc. The Spanish troops commanded by General I?rat,arc reported as contin uing in pursuit of the insurgents under Generals Maceo, Zayas, Moro and one of the Nugez brothers. Sev eral .skirmishes have occurred in which the Insurgents sustained only a slight loss. CONFLICT IS IMMINENT. New York, Jan. It. A dispatch to tho World from Havana says: An Impoataut conllict seems to bo impending. TheoverpoweringSpanish columns everywhere In the vicinity of the small bands of Insurgents that have been hurrying over the country north of the railways have been called In. Gomez evidently Is consolidating his forces. The Insurgents are in two largo bodies. One under Maceo is near Ccoba del Agua, on the boundary lino between Havana and Plnar del Jtlo provinces. Tho other, under Gomez, is west and south of Guanaja. over tho border In PJnur del Rio. There appears to bo no probability that Gomez has Intentions on tho Vuclta Abajo tobacco district. Havana is perfectly quiet. Thoi volunteers have not been called out, although a general order Issued gives full details of what Is to be done In case of necessity. IN SICIHT OF TIIR CAPITAL. New York, .Tan. 9. A special to tho Herald from Tampa, Pin., says: A private telegram received hero from Havana says tho whole force of insurgents is in sight of the capital. Tho message says that an apprehen sion exists of an attack on the city, and that overy effort Is lnjing mado to protect tho suburban approaches, especially tho water-works and electric light station. Sympathy with the Insurgents, It Is roported, Is known to exist in Havana outside of otlicial circles, and there Is said to bo fear of an uprising In conjunction with tho insurgent advance. Tho Cubans believe that tho end of tho revolution is rapidly approaching, and say Campos Is defeated without an attack on Havana. Consul-General Soils discredits all nows from Havana, and says ho Is sat isfied thaCtho report of tho Insurgents being at tho gates of tho city Is a can ard. He scouts tho idea of an attack on tho capital In tho face of Campos' force of 100,000 men, including tho volunteer force under arms. WITH THE INSURGENTS. St. Louis, Jan. 0. Tho Globe-Democrat in this city publishes a letter from navana under date of January 1, as follews: HonoroP. Laney, a sugar-planter, whoso place is near Narajas, arrived here today after an unusual experi ence of five days with tho insurgents. Gomez' army approached hisplaceand was about to burn his cane; he pro tested and started to look for Brigadier-General Zayas, with whom ho & was acquainted. He was made prls- oner anu uikoii ueiuru amccu, uu turned him over to Gomez. The rebel commander received him as a guest, but for many reasons would not let him go, , A .-- ..... -.r ...i. Gomez questioned him nnd was questioned by hi ni. During the five days of Lnney'sRtny with tho lnsur-1 gents Gomez' army swung In a big ' circle, first nlong the lino of tho rail road, passing I'cdestro, Torrlente, Clnudio, and coming around south of Murga. They crossed over to tho cast, crossing a railroad north of i Aqueda, and recrossed it on the west ern arm near Callmet. This Is where tho big light occurred, but Mr. Luncy gives n very different account of It than that published. According to olllclal reports tho insurgents lost 100 or moro men, wlillo the 1oms of tho Spanish were put down as 18 killed and 04 wounded. "f saw one of Mnceo's men fall (lend, ami there wen othcrcnsunllleV says Mr. Laney, "hut no more I ban .eight men were killed. I saw 17 dead Spaniards on the Held after the tight, when the Spaniards retreated. "Tho battle started Just as Gomez' men wore hanging a negro, nUo of tho command. Ho had assaulted a uegress and was condemned by .court-martial. Thoy were hanging him back or the buildings of a sugar plantation when a volley was Ilred and one of tho execution squad was killed. The rebels dropped Into tho 'grass and began to answer the tire with great effect, while the cavalry came around and charged tho Spaniards, who had formed In two squares. The llrst square was having a pretty hard time wltli the Infantry, which, crawling In the cane, poured shots Into It. 1 heard Gomez order a machete charge of tho other square, and under that charge tho square melted away, the soldiers finding shelter and protection in the cane. "After tho battle, jvltcn tho Insur gents had mustered up quite a num ber of Mausers, thoy camo back to the buildings where their wounded were. Later, ns tho column moved away, tho Spaniards opened lire with cannon, but did little damage. Gen eral Nnvarro camo up with more forces in tho rear and fired. The In surgents did not lire after leaving tho plantation. Later on the march tho rebel column was tired on by a train- load of troops. Another man was killed, and there was a third engage ment. This did llttlo damage. Prom Callmet tho march was northward. The troops crossed tho railroad Just west of Barucoa, and rccrosscd It at Corralltos. Thence they marched to Navazas, where 1 was released near home. There are, I should estimate, about 8000 men with Gomez and Maceo. I understand there are a couple of thousand more to the north under Lacre." There was a story that Gomez was going toavengo tho execution of Caba cllloAccbo a certain prisoner ho had, and of this Mr. Laney said: "Nothing could bo wider from the truth. Prisoners arc ncaly always re leased at once," "Now Mr. Laney, there, are accord ing to your account, 10,000 or 11!,000 Insurgents In Matanzas. Wo know there are 30,000 or 40,000 Spanish sol diers in the province. Now how can such armies, if they are in earnest, maneuver around in tho way you de scribe and not have a battle ? Is it that tho Insurgents hldo so well ?" "Tho Insurgent column Is over a league long. How can you hldo such an army ?" and that Is all tho answer ho made. Earthquake in Persia. Teheran, Persia, Jan. a. Two earthquakes occurred In tho district of Khalkany, the first on the night of January 2. Tho largo village of Jan Jabad was destroyed, several others partially destroyed, and 300 persons killed. The second earthquake oc curred January 5 and was very severe. It was felt overan area of ten miles. The town of Gol was destroyed and thousand of houses demolished. In addition great damage was douo in many villages. Tho loss of life was very great. There wcro COO persons killed In Gol nlono aud a large num ber of cattlo and sheep perished. The U. S. Qov't Reports ahw Royal Baking Powfrr H mil 9tk9n, MORE WARLIKE TALK Russia, Germany and France Are United. GRAVITY OF THE CRISIS, War Spirit Hovors Over London and All Europe, London, .Ihji. (. A hpecial dispatch from Berlin tills afternoon says that Russian co-operation with Germany In tho Transvaal matter has lccn assured, and Prance will act with llusslu. This apparently tends to contlrni the report of an antl-llrltlsh alliance, aud that tho action of Emperor Wil liam towards the Boer republic was a thoroughly-weighted step. Portugese, neutral. LifliiON, Jan. 8. -Portugal, It Is an nounced, will remain neutral In the dispute between Great Brltnln and Germany regarding tho Transvaal, and not permit the Germans or Brit ish to land troops at Dclagoa bay, or traverse Portugese tcrrlt6ry In South Africa. London, Jan. I). The gravity of tho political crisis hero 1b Increasing, In stead of diminishing. Tho attitude of Emperor William toward Grcnt Britain in the matter of Dr. Jame son's frcebootlng expedition into the Transvaal upon closer study seems to have been deliberated long and care fully planned. Tho Transvaal Inci dent, It would appear, was only tho pretext seized upon by tho emperor In older to enter tho Held ns an active opponent of Great Britain's policy of aggrandizement In Africa. Her little misunderstanding with KiugPrempch of Aslmntce,and hersupportof Italy's warfare against Abyssinia, are be lieved to have been the irritating features which llnally Induced his majesty to show Ills hand. Of course, this Is only a sample of tho rumors In circulation here, but It shows tho drift of tho wind, and has served to incense the British to a degrco not witnessed since the war with Bussla was threatened somo years ago. I1R1TI8H-OERMAN WAR. London, Jan. U. The chances of war between Great Britain aud Ger many aro looked upon today as re mote, there being a decided tono of back-down In the utterances of tho German press towards Great Britain. Tho receipt of a dispatch from Pretoria announcing the extreme de mands of tho south African republic for tho surrender of all British rights and suzerainty, etc., over tho Trans vaal, and Del Agoa bay, however, has again changed tho complexion of ntfairs. In tho mcantliuo tliero Is little or no abatement as to Gorman feeling here. At a meeting of tho London radical federation today a resolution was passed demanding the Immediate removal of Pmporor Wil liam from the British army and navy lists. WHERE 18 GREAT HRITAIN AT? Washington, Jan. 0. In tho house today Livingston, dcm., of Georgia, 1 offered the following resolutien: "That the president bo requested forthwith to ascertain whether Great Britain is advancing her outposts on tho territory in dispute between her colony, British Gulna, and the repub lic of Venezuela, and In case sho Is, to demand an immediate withdrawal." Tho resolution wnu referred to tho committee on foreign affairs. THE REPOT DENIED. London, Jan. 0. The Colonial onice tills evening published a denial of tlie report which reached here from Caracas, Venezuela, near New York, that British troops, with Cannor from Demarora, had arrived at Cuynnlo station at the extreme limit or the British, the claim on tho disputed territory and tlie scene of the Ameri can Inoident, Lane County Populists. Eugene, Or., Jan. 0. Tlie populist county central committee hcldnmcot Ing at the court house yesterday, but failed to do any Important work. In fact, beyond appointing a committee to apiwar heroic tlie county court to ask for one Judge of election In eacll precinct from the populist party, nothing was done. There Is an effort on tho part of somo Democrats to effect a fusion with the populists, and a portion of tho latter have been brought over do that Idea. On this question tlie committee got Into a row, which virtually broke up tho meet lug. Amis took the liMd for the fusion Ists, and Spaugli. the acknowledged lender of the party, t,ok tho opposite position. A resolution was Introduced approving the Omaha platfor.n and Incidentally leaning toward fusion, but the meeting could not ajrea upon anything, and a motion to adjourn was carried. A noticeable thing was 'I he activity of tlie democrats, who seemed to have a great deal to look after. They aie mnklnga desperate strugglo for fusion, thinking It their only show to get anything at all. No time was set for the county convention. PLUNGED INTO ETERNITY Two Electric Cars Hurled Through a Bridge. Two Killed and More Injured Tinker's Crook, at Cleveland, Jan. 0. On the Akron, Bedford & Cleveland electric railway, near Bedford this morning, a heavy motor car and another car plunged through n brldgo over Tinker's, creok, hurling a largo number of passengers 75 feet Into a chasm beneath. Two men were instantly killed, nnd a number seriously injured. Later reports show that there wcro' no passengers on tho motor and only tho crew, consisting of throe men, went down In tho wreck. Not Duck Hunting. Seattle, .Inn. u. C. II, Baker, re ceiver of tho Merchant's National bank of this city, returned from Washington, city today and tells an Interesting story of President Clove land's lastduck-hniitlug trip, aud the reiiHou ho mado It. The story was 'told to Mr. Baker byono high In government circles, and Is as follows; "I called on tho president Just be foro he Issued ills Venezuelan mes sage, and In regard to that, there Is a llttlo Incident that Is not generally known. Mr. Cleveland's trip was not a duck-hunting expedi tion at all. The story Is this: "Lord Salisbury's reply to Secretary of State Oluoy was to bo mado public, but Lord Salisbury had agreed not to make It public until It was received by tho president of this country. "Now, Mr. Cleveland absented him self on his duckhuiitlng trip so that when Lord Salisbury's reply arrived ho would not l In Washington to otllclally receive It. In the meantime ho did receive It on lion id the yacht Violet, and on board that yacht got up his famous message, aud It went before tho world as an answer to Lord Salisbury's toplyat tho same tlmo that reply became a public document. Receiver Appointed. Helena, Mont., Jan. 0. Judgo Gil bert, of Portland, in the United States district court today appointed An drew P. Burleigh sole receiver for the Northern Pacific road In Ills circuit, Clams, at Doty's. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't JRepert RpyiiS? E, Defined by a Resolution in Congress; NOT ANY FOREIGN POWER Shall By War, Treaty or Otherwise Acquire Territory, Till! MONROE DOOTHKK. Washington, .ran. . In the somite today Baker, of Kansas, offered a resolution enumerating tho exten sion of tho Monroe doctrine. The resolution sjys: The United States will regard It as an unfriendly at for any foreign power, without our con sent, by war t reaty, purchase or other wise, to extend Its territorial limits In the western hemisphere on either or tho American continents, or to any Islands adjacent thereto, which this country deems necessary for Its self preservation, and tho United States reserves the right to lie sole Judgo of tho necessity for tho maintenance of their national entitles. JUSTICE BEING BLOCKED. No Court Trials to Bo Hold at Ta coma, Wash? Because tho County Has Exceeded tho Debt Limit, TACOMA,.Tan. (. The state supremo court Issued today a restraining order to prevent tho county Judge, auditor, clerk and sheriff or Pierce county from calling a Jury to try the crimi nal cases awaiting trial. Tho reason given Is that tho county being beyond Its legal debt limit, cannot create now obligations. This may result In a general Jail de livery, as tho state law says prisoners must lie tried within (10 duyB after filing Information against them. The Battleship Oregon. San Prancihco, Jan. l). Tlio bat tleshlp Oregon will soon bo "ready for sea. Tho last of tho armor-nlatcs for tho turrets have lieon shipped from the Bethlehem works In the East for tho Union Iron works, and, according to the contract, tho vessel Is to bo completed within ninety days after tho receipt of the plates. Tho armor for tho .sponsons and barbettes has long been put In position, and nearly all of tho oight-luch aud tho smaller guns have heeu mounted. Tho four 13-lnch guns that aro to bo protected by tho turrets cannot bo mounted until the armor-plates aro in place. One of the turrets wns finished a fow days ago, but tho big weapons will not bo placed In until both tur rets are ready; In all, fnurguus will bo mounted at once.
