fiche of the ettIernents of I.abarinto ,

There are percistent rumors that the In-

The splendid plantations and houses of

Insurgents.
The , insurgent leaders , Mason , Lastre antI
Vegi , with abotit 2,000 men , have passed

Further details of the fighting between the
Alfonso.XIII . battahiom anti the insurgents
under Macco , at San Claudlo , near the north-

province of Pitiar dcl Rio , shows that. the
Spanish gunboat Alerta , which so opper-
tunely % vent to the asSIstance of the troops ,
found the latter had been compelled to rc-
treat before the overwhelming force of 5,000
insurgents , Although the latter outnurn-
bcired the men of the Alfonso XIII battalion
by over ten to one , and in pite of the fact
that thu soldiers were led , In pursuing the
retreating vanguard of the enemy. into the
position which almost enabled the insurgents -
gents to surround thexfl from neighboring
heights , the Spanish retreated in good order ,
fighting stubbornly as they did 0 , . During
this retreat the government troops inflicted
heavy loss upon Macco's forces anti sttcceedei
in maintaining a correct formation until ,
after seven hours rctt'at , the harbor of San
Claudio w'aa reached arId the troops barn-
ended themselves In the best positLono possible -
ble and determined - to tight to the last.
Dtining this long and harrassing retreat the
Alfons'o XIII battalion only lost one officer
and four men killed and had only thirteen
men wounded. Tue firc' of the troops was
so eli delivered and. the movements of the
battalion vena .5 efficient In ordering , antI
promptly executed that 5,000 Cubans were
further
unable to achieve any advantage
than compelling the greatly ovciinatched
body of Spanich infantry tO retreat in good
order.
SUPPORT WAS POOR.
flesides , it Is 'asserted , even this retreat
would not have been necessary had it. not
been for the supineness of General
Echiavaria , who wac in command of a much
in conjunction -
stronger Spanish column operating
junction with the column of Colonel Devos
( the Ahfonll3 XIII battalion ) , and in the lat-
( er's immediate neighborhood. Generals
Echiavarla , Saurcz and mean loft Manlel ,
north of the line , with the Alfonso XIII bat-
tailon , On Monday , by dIfferent routes , in
an attempt to engage Maceo't forces. The
Alfonso XIII battalion became engaged , aS
already detailed , and should have been
promptly supported by the nearest Spanish
column. that of Echavania , but the latter not
only faikd to support Colonel Davos as
promptly as ho should have dene , but Ito
seems to hiave delayed notifying Generals
Suarez and Inclan of the location of Macco's
forces. 'vlton the latter had attacked the
Ahfonso XIII battalion n force ; otherwise a
combined flank movement of the Spanish
troopti might have resulted in crushing
. .MaceO's army , .and possibly extinguishing
the rbchiioli at the mine time.
The Alerta heard the. firIng while cruising
of ! the coast and headed for San Claudlo ,
where the arship found the Alfonso Xlii
hattaliot hastily barricaded' In houses. warehouses -

Colonel Doves , while determined to hold
San Claudio to the last. was caring for -his
wounded to the best of ltis ability , and under
the fire of the enemy he succeeded in embarking -
barking thirteen injured soldiers Into entaIl
boats , from vbich they were transferred tea
a smelt schoone , which was at anchor ncar
the landing place , when the battalion entered
tile town.
When the gunboat got within range of the
Insurgents , vhio were swarming in large
pumbcrs over the hills In the vicinity of
San Claudlo , a hot fine from its guns Sand
riflemen was opened upon the enemy's ranks ,
causing much dlrorder. Then , when tile
troops under General Inclan arrived and
ppened fire upon the Insurgents , the hatter
beat a hasty retreat over the hills and finally
disappeared , whereas ii thr. Spanishi columns
had acted vehl in concert , the result might
have been a most disastrous defeat for Macco.

LONDON , April 16.-The financah secrp-

in tim hlous'e of Commons today , teplying tea
a , qucstjon , said that ieprcsentatlon had
ieen made to the United tates relative to
the order regarding the mailing. of newspapers -
papers from that country by American line
steamers alone. and a reply to thIs corn-
rnunlcatlon was awaited by the government.
Thie chancellor of the exchequer , Sir
Mchacl ! Hicks-Beach , made the budget state-
menL He said that the surplus for 1S95-9U
was 4,210,000 and he esUmated the expenditures -
penditures for thtecurrent year at 100,017,000.
The chancellor ef the cxcheqimer caid that
( h's had been a wonderful year and one of
unexampled revenue , In spite of the fact
that the expenditures- been the largest
SInce the great war. The surplus was the
largest ever known and a Janger sum was
devoted to the reduction of the national
tieht than ever known.
Thte condition of the working c'asses ' , ho
continued , judging from the cnsurnptiou of
tea , tobacco and sugar , liati materally Itn-
proved and it was a remarkable faCt that
while the decrease in the exports and im-
porta for the first. six months amounted to
7,531,000 , the increase for the cecond hmalf
of thie year amounted to 28,228,000.
-Tea , Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. further no-
marked , was driving coffee out of the market
and British and Irish spirits were entirely
dspIaclng foreign spirits. The Increase in
the import of tea was 10,000,000 pounds from
India , and Ceylon , replacing so much Clii-
hose tea.
The increase in the imports of tobacco was
108.000 pounds. The increase In the revenue
on imports of tobacco was 108,000 over the
catimate , chiefly for cigarettes. The customs
authorities calculated , he added , that 1,000-
000 yearly was thrown in the gutter , in the
hapo of the ends of cIgarettes and cigars.
The imports of vines had increased 1,250-
000. LIght wines were preferred. Beer had
increased 617,000.
The death dutici were 2,881,000 and
stamps 1,629,000.
Referring to the estiiiates for the current
year , ' the chancellor of the exchequer said
that the expenditures were placed at 100-
047,000 and the revenue calculated upon was
tlol,500,000. Touching upon the proposed reduction
duction In expenses , Sir Michael hicks-Beach
sad that the govorntnent proposed to reduce
the maximum land tax from 4s on the
pound to Is , which would absorb 100,000 of
the surplus , allot 975,000 to reducing the
rating of farm lands , devote 433,000 - for
the education jIll and 200,000 to a slight
alteration of tIm death duties. This , he
continued , would heave a modest surplus for
cont'ngencics. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

doavored to secure the adoptomm of a specific
endorsement of MclChmiey , but time headers
regarded such hampering of the delegates
as impolitic and the propositIon was ruled
out of order. Vhat Prontisel to be a hmot
fight between the friends of Franklin Murpimy
antI Elias'S.Varcl , time wcalthmy ra irend moman ,
as to whmicim of thmemmi should be delegate to

terod in ' the money plank and as expected

leg for the gold standard anti against the

Hobart declare tlmat hils candidacy for vice
presdcnt will be vgorously pushed , They
recognize , hmowover , that it an eastern man

and it was for this reason that some of his
friends endeavored to secure time endorsenmemit
of McKinley.
When in thme course of lois address on an-
surning time chmair Senator Stokes spoke
eulogistically of Major McKinley there was
an outburst of applause that continued for
nearly five minutes' . A mention of Mr.
Hobart as a fit man for time vice presidency
