As these advance- bodies of the
Cubans wen; at Tnpaste, eighteen
miles from liuunabaeo, practically a
iiibnrb of this city, last night, It is by
no inennu Improbable that tho report
that tho Cuban scouts havo bum
iJghicil from 'lie linos defending
Havana is correct. It is no longer a
cry of "On to Havana" from tho
( iibans. They urn slowly but surely
surrounding I It In eupltil 'after a tri
umphant march from thu eastern end
of Santiago du Culm to tho capital of
this island, in spite of all the be-,1
troops ot .Spain could do to prevent
tlieiu. Slop by step ii'niicinl (ampin

hern preparations are being completed
on both sides for the lliliil and decisive

(Stmcrul Handera and his column
camped last night at San .lose do laa
Lakes, n short distance from Tapasto,
and hh forces arc now said to be mov
ing on (iiiaualiaco, or Its vicinity, in
order to take up the position assigned
to them lor thuslcgu ot Havana.
Another report has It that the Han
dera will try to pass .Mount Hejiiea to
Kiticnn and from there to Santiago do
las Vegas, to cut oil' this railroads
leading to Havana, but in any ease, It
Ih admitted that he will push onward
toward this city and bin camp fires
may to-night bo visible from the Span
ish outposts around tills city. 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.
The main body o'f the second insur
gent column under (lencral lit me
was reported this morning to lm at
Jiiirau, moving in thu direction of
(iiilru .Mclena, at the bond ot the rail
road lending from the. province of

portions of Come.' column, by far lite
strongest of thu three and now said to
number H.oau men, were sighted to

slightly to the eastward and north
ward of (iiiira .Mclena.
The lilt (1 insurgent column, under
(icuerul Macro, was announced this
morning to h.ie passed (Vila, Mocha,
with (Ionic, when last heard from,

All three columns have been contin

Hero tliu utmost consternation pre
vails In government circles. There is
un denying that Havana is now to all
Intents and purposes invested by the
liiMirgents. Their columns are press

less of thu fact that It was Vnmpos's
plan of campaign, the wild scattering
of his forces all over tho
Island, which Is mainly to
blume for the crisis, although other
iiilluenees have had a great share in
the bitter humiliation of the Span
iards. 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. Stories are allo.it lioio of a
wholesale republican propaganda at
worl; among thu soldiers from Spain
and it is claimed that it will yet near

Well-to-do people from tlm districts
around Havana are flocking intothlu

nlrcndy begun to go up alarmingly.
In the stl cuts, tho hustle and IhikMh .r
tho military is visible. Kvory man or

In the face of those preparations to

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." Allison ami I'ecd come in for u fair
shaio ot condemnation for what Mr.
Traynor alleges as their propapal atti
tude and their antagonism to tiie pa
triotic oidcrs. lie presents the mimes
of Hon. V. S Union of Michigan,
Senator .John II. dear of Iowa, Cov
entor V. (). Hradley of Kentucky nnd

support of tliu A. P. A. lie afilrins
that In the event of any indication of
tho Ilepubliean party" "truckling lo
Komo" that u 'new party .should and
must lie the result."
lie criticises Chairman Carter, of the
licpuhlican national committee, and
Harrity. of tho UomoernUo national
cominittet, as uncompromising papists.
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

WHY JAMESON FAILED.
Ilo Wii I'rouiloeil Aid Thai lulled to Ma
terialize. Lonpo.v, Jan. 7. 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

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 ... '
that the syndicate's bid for the entire
issue will tie accepted. It is recalled M'linlor .lotin .1. Ingalls of Atchison
that private subscription to tho first I was dropped from the rolls by a prae
loan of $.10,000,000 amounted to nbout , tically unanimous vote of tho forty or
871.1,000, and to the last loan but llttln iiftv members iiresunt. In tlm i.r,t...,i
more, ami tlio bid submitted by tho
svndicale, containing tliu condition
that they bo awarded tho etitlru
uiuouiit or none, left the government
no option in the matter.

if reports to the Slate department
front Nicaragua be confirmed by later
developments. The substance of
these reports, siistnineil liv lmn,.i..,.i
I evidence, is that, thu ISritish Interests
are retelling out for the control of

Nlcaraguan government is being urged
to annul the charter to the existing

Tho reports of Itritlsli intrigue in
Nicaragua which have been sent to

iceeivo serious attention before the

and may give a sensational turn to
