In fact, it is claimed that Handera will camp this evening at the Vcuto farm, with in rille shot of the outposts of the Spaniards.

Incapacity has been supple mented by sleltucss and treacherv. The Spanish soldier, in spite of till denials, have deserted In .considerable numbers and hao in many instances Miovvu sympathy with tho' Insurgent cause.

If, Traynor, the supremo president of the American Protective Association, hns issued to tho councils of the order throughout the country a circular of nearly K,o(l.7 words, reviewing the progress of tho organization iimi the political situation, Mr. Tray nor states in his circular that u largo number of tho members of Congress nro also members of tho A. P. A., pledged to the following measure: A bill to open to public Inspection nil monnr.tloaml private or semi-private public institutions that are under State control. A bill prohibiting the olllclal recog nition by the I'nlted States or any oflleor thereof of any dignitary of any ecclesiastical body or church, or the olllclal recognition of such as the dele gate or loproM-ntntlvo of any church or ccclesiastic.il power. A bill prohibiting any body of men other than members of tin; United States army and navy, mid of the militia of the various states, from drilling or parading in any army or using llrcarnis or deadly weapons of any kind, such net not to extend to the uniform ranks of benelit societies ex cept to debar them fiom dill ling with, carrying or keeping llrcarnis. Mr, Traynor icviows presidential possibilities and attaeks President Cleveland in these words: "It is doing no injustice to Mr. Cleveland to assert that, If the Pulled States hail been a papal country anil tho pope u temporal sovereign, our president could not have given mora iccognltlon to tho papacy as u tem poral power than ho has during his present term of olllce, commencing with his obsequious present of a mag uillcently bound edition of the Ameri can constitution to the pope and con cluding with the disgraceful promotion of Colonel Copplnger. who is worthy of notice only, and that notoriously, as a fervent adherent of the pope of Home anil an ardent admirer of papal institutions, two facts sutllcicnt in themselves to eternally debar 111 i i from tiny public olllce in the gift f u free nation or tiny of its representa tives."

Travnor declares that the arming and drilling of Irishmen in this country l.s a sinister movement of tho Uou'ian Catholic church to mobilize a Catholic army in the republic, to supplement tho moral foreeof tho church to secure ascendency when tho nation bliall bo 'ivolved inn crisis such as a war or jbellion. He upholds the Monroe doctrine but denounces the war scare as the result of a conspiracy between the president, the priests anil plutocrats: the first to secure re-election; tlio second, to gain ascendency while tho nation is in volved In war with a forelpn country, and tho last to prollt by bond issues at war rales of interest 'upon a gold interest bearing basis. Mr. I'raynor opposes a bond Issue as infamous' and dcelaren that a war between Muglaiul and the I'nlted States would be u "mutual calamity and an interna tional tin."

The belief hai been expressed hero that tho expedi tion of Dr. Jameson into the Trans vaal Involved an understanding that Ihero was to be an uprising of tho ritlanders In Johannesburg in coop eration with Dr. Jumeson, and that his raid would havo been success ful if ho had received the ex pected assistance from Johannes Imrg. Tliu abstiuatlon of Johannes burg from taking part in the tight at Krugcrsdorpli, whore Hr. Jameson met his disastrous reverec. Is partly explained by cablegram, received yesterday dated December .;(, which was the day before Dr. Jameson'sstart, stating that President h'ruger hid re ceived a deputation of the aggrieved residents and thnt he had made them promises that ho would taku oir tliu duties on food stull's and would sup port equal subsidies for the schools of nil languages. lie would also, ho said, advocate the desired change in the franchise. This seems to havo fully satisfied the I'itnndcrs, anil it is asserted that the leading men of all nationalities were combining in an active endeavor to circumvent the agi tation which Mas understood was be ing promoted by certain capitalists with a view to promoting collision with the authorities, and thus to es tablish a cause for imperial Interven tion und to give the consn' -itors a chance to go into tho rich e'nuTitry. 11 is reported that Hon.

E latest BOND ISSUE. Senator arc Not lm limit to IHrim tin Hulijert. WAsm.wroN, Jan. 7. Senators nre not disposed to talk about the bond call Issued by Secretary Carlisle. Democratic. Senators generally tire noii.ooinmlttnl. Senators Harris and Vest, both members of the finance committee said they had not read Ihc call and had nothing to say. Senutot (iormiui said that tho call was all light, and wns the same as tho first two bond Issues by this administration. Thcro were not many Republican Senators about the eapltol. Most of them were reticent. Senator Morgan, chairman of thu llnanco committee, said there was nothing to say; the call spoke for itself. t Senator Teller said that ho was grati fied that tho president had decided upon n popular loan uud he had no doubt that the people would respond In a way to justify the course decided upon. Mr. Teller did not believe that the entire sum of Jo'i millions asked for would be necessary. For himself, nu did not consider that tiny bonds .were demanded, and ho thought that even from the president's point of view n. smaller sum than liJO millions would bo sulllclont. 1 he call was a surprise to the House, for It had not been expected to uppean ueiore iiiu middle of the week, nor nail it heeu anticipated. Thu plan is generally tijiproved by members of both parties vviio believe there is a ne cessity for bonds, und those who nre opposed to bond issues altogether, think that the evil for bids Is much better than the iirrangeinnnt with tho New orksyndicu'e, which was gen erally expected. There was souio dis satisfaction expressed because the president hud not seen fit to wait until thu Senate waited on the House reve nue bill, although there. Is no expecta tion that the bond bill will pass the Senate. Among the Democratic enemies of bonds talk was heard of a resolution declaring the sentiment of the house to bo against their issuance, but this was considered impracticable us weli us exceedingly unlikely to pass. Persons well qualified to judge of the result of the issue do not look for large subscriptions from nrivnti. in. dlviduals, uud the opinion is expressed tl.nl , I... It ....! II ...
