Important dispatch addressed to Captain
General Campos , from the- Madrid RO\em
inent , was received hero today. Its publica
tion h not permitted. It may be raid , how-
IMP , tbat the brondest comprehensive views
of Campoi and Ills tremsndous willpower prc
\all In Spain , as they do among the Spaniards
resident In Cuba.
.Maximo Gomez remained In quiet for a
brief period after reaching the Seguanea val
ley. He moved out by the northern entrance
of the valley on Saturday night at the head
of n force Bald to number C.OOO men. He
pAfibcl In a northwest direction toward Las
Cruces , proceeding In two columns. One
column approached the Ilomoqueen sugar
estate on the railway between Clenfiiegos and
Santa Clara. The ether went over the road
leading toward Las Cruces. At a point
known as Maltlcmpo , between Hash and Las
Cruces. the Insuigent advance struck a small
column of Spaniards , consisting of the Canary
Island1) Inttnllcn , four companies strong , un
der the command of a lieutenant colonel. This
was on Sunday morning. An cngigcmcnt fol-
loneil. In which the Spaniards bore the brunt
of a sliarp attack , during which the 300 Span-
lards encaged suffered considerable loss.
KOIICKD MARCH SAVES Till : DAY.
Colonel Arlzon , with 200 men , by a forced
march , reached the scene of action and prob
ably saved the day. The rebels retired In
the direction of Camarones , which Is a
small stopping place on the railway , near
l.-ii Crtices. The Spanish loss was two
officers and thirty soldiers killed and four
otllccrs and forty boldlers wounded. The
1ft ) go number ot casualties In proportion to
the force engaged Indicates the * severity of
the action , nearly one-third of the Spaniards
being struck down.
Colonel Arlzon sent the wounded to I/is
CIUCCB and pressed on after the rebels , who
crossed the lallway , moving In the direction
of Clcgo Montcro , which Is six miles west
of LIB Cruces , neir Las Lajas. The official
ncccuiit of the fight states that a heavy loss
was Inflicted upon the rebsls , which Is prob
able , ns the soldiers were armed with Man-
ttr rifles. It also states that nearly 0,000
troops were opposed for a tlmo to the BOO
co-nprUed In the Spanish detachment after
Its ienforcement. Colonel Arhron Is a dis
tinguished cavalry officer ami one of the
hand omest men In the army.
Pioccedlng towardH Melone ? , the Insur
gents left a lieutenant colonel and a major
lead on the field. Th re w s also an Inter
change ct t'liots on the Domingo estate. The
loss on cither side Is unknown. iin > prop
erty belongs to an Anurlcan named Pon-
vrrt.

A repoit from Las Lijas says that the
rebels passed within sight of that town
going west. If this in true , Gomez would
evidently strike the province of Matanzss
near llabanllla and Santiago. The official
repoit does not mention Mjceo as being
with Gomez. Other accounts state that
MMCCO has Ilundeda with him ,
It will be observed that the situations
Icok inoi elike real flglitlng since Maceo
li.-u como with his followers Into Santa
Clara. These have been all along the best
aggressive material In the rebel army. The
jiegioes feel their Importance anJ assume
an iiirogant air toward the whites.
Campos left Cienfuegos yesterday by boat
to Databano and by special train today for
Cclon , n central point In Matanzas. To
night It Is reported that Gomez has ad-
\anceil Into Matanzas. Gicat activity Is dis
played by troops In that direction.

Champagne , from Havre , arrived today after
an e\eoptlomlly stormy trip. On Sunday ,
ths 8th , at 7:30 : during a violent gale , a
wave swept over the port sld of the vesasl
fore and aft. The solid wave broke on the
hurricane deck just abaft the bridge , sweepIng -
Ing eveu thing before It. The three largo
starboard lifeboats were lifted from their
chocks and carried along the deck aft ani
badly smashed. The water reached the
companion door leading to the main deck
and ponied Into the faloou and library ,
breaking the heavy mahogany saloon stair
case. The hmrlcane deck ventilators were
carried nvva > and thiough the ppertures
thus left on the deck the water poured down
Into the stale room section. The sleeping
patsengers were awakened by the rush of
water , which deltigsd many of their rooms ,
and to add to their excitement the electric
lighting plant gave out for several minutes ,
leaving Hie ship In total durknesb. The
officers finally allayed the fears of the pas-
Eengrrs and no one was Injured. The ves
sel can led over 400 passengers.

rillLADELPHIA. Dec. 17. Intelligence
reached here tonight that on SurJay ths
German ship Athena , from New York to
London , with a cargo of naphtha , exploded
off Cape May. Fourteen lives were lost , In
cluding the captain. The first nnd second
mates and four of the crew were rescued
by the lirltlsh ship Tafna and brought to
this port.
The awful accident was duo to an ex
plosion of the chlp'H cargo of naphtha and
nitroglycerine. The explosion occurred
whllo the Athena was lying In a helpless
condlt'on at sea off Cape May , N. J.
The following Is a list of the men lost :
Captain M. Haalc , George Konkc , cook ; Fritz
Nelirlng , Hans Roenlg ; John Spencer , John
Anderson , Johann Voght , H. Wnhlcn , Salt-
mesko Holtr , ecaman ; Hans AsmussanVI1 -
I'clin Ileln/e , llernard Pechatelr , apprentices ,
and two cabin boys , names unknown.
Those yaved : Alex Fran/cllus , first mate ;
John F. Reese , second mate ; William
Mouldler , carpenter ; John Rudslt , Martin
Phlllls , Georgs Schroeder , seaman.
The Athena left N&w York for Hremen De
cember 10 with a caigo of naphtha In barrels
and several hundred cases of nltro-glycerlnc.
She cxperlencad severe weather until Friday
On that day she had all her masts carried
av\ay and sprung a leak Her bow sank
down Into the water and the deck was sub
merged up to where her foremast had been
On Saturday the Tafna was sighted. Distress
signals were hoisted , but on account of thf
heavy seas the Urltlsh steamer could not get
near her. The Tafna signaled that she would
stand by until Sunday. Sunday morning about
S o'clock the Tafna approached the Athena ,
and when within a cable , length of her , a
( lame was seen to shoot out of the center of
the deck nnd the port holes at the stern. A
ttrrillc explosion followed , and Instantly
every man on board the doomed ship was
cither thrown or jumped Into the. Icy water.
The Taf.n put out bolts to rescue them ,
but they were only able to pick up s'x. It Is
supposed the remaining fourteen were so In
jured by tha explosion or numbt < I by the cold
water that they were unable to battle with
: ho heavy bei which was running at the
time. The Tafna lay by for two hours before
continuing her voyage. The only theory that
can bo advanced for the explosion Is that the
sldo of the vesbel was sprung during the
heavy weather and that the barrels of cx-
ploslvo oil rubbing together caused a spark
which ignited their contents.
The Athena was owned by Auborchard &
[ tostvvlck of Bremen. Shs was 1,388 tons reg
ister and was formerly an American vessel.
THIII > TO TILI < TUB TRUTH.
B\iirlcnc < i * of a Mini Who V.'imt Ml to
I.t-iiil it Hotter I.Iff.
A Houston man who attended a grest many
of Sam Jones , ' sermons was particularly Im-
piesscd with his denunciation cf prevarica
tors and lies of all kinds , white , variegated
and black.
So strongly was he affected , and In such
fertile ground did the seed sown by the great
evangelist fall , says the Houston Post , that
the Houston man , who had been accustomed
to occasionally evade the truth , determined
one morning that he would turn over a new
leaf an dtell the truth In all things , big and
little. So ho commenced the day by scorn
ing to spcik oven a vord that did not follow
the exact truth for a model. At tfrciakfast
his wife said :
"How are the biscuit , Henry ? "
"Rather heavy , " he answered , "and about
half done. "
His wife flounced out of the dining room ,
and he ate breakfast with the children.
Ordinarily Henry would have said , "They are
very fine , my dar , " and all would have been
well. As he wsnt out the gate his rich old
aunt , with whom ho had always been a favor-
te , drove up. She was curled and stiyed
and powdered to look as young as possible.
"Oh , Henry , " she simpered , "how are Ella
and the children ? I would come In , but I'm
coking such a fright today I'm not flt to bo
seen. "
"Yes , " said Henry , "you do. It's a good
hlng your horse has a blind bridle on , for If
IB got a sight of you he'd run away and
break your neck. "
His aunt glared Icily at him and drove
iway without saying a word.
Henry figured It up afterward , and found
hat every word he said to her cost him
8,000.
On his way down town he met a man whom
ic owed $500 , due that day. He was a
Iberal-hearted man and Henry had no tears :
tut that he would extend It any length of
line.
The man was leading his little boy by the
land , a chap about 6 years old. The man
nilled pleasantly , and made his little boy
hake Henry's hand.
"What do you think he said yesterday ? "
sked the man. "He's the smartest boy for
ils age In Texas. Ills grandmother asked
ilm to study his lesson , and he said : 'Go
o the devil , you old mutton head ! ' Prcty (
lever , wasn't It ? "
"I think , " said Henry dellbsrately , "that
our boy Is the very vilest , freckledest , little
nub-nosed , Impudent wretch in Houston , and
eservcs a good co.vhldlng , "
The man rose up on ills toes twice , coughed
lightly , and said softly :
"Ah , Indeed. lly the way , that little note
or $500 falls due today. I shall expect It
) y 3 o'clock. Good morning. "
Henry looked rather preoccupied as he
cut en down the strct and a little further
n ho suddenly turned Into a yaloon and took
iree drinks , one after another.
After ho got to the ttore , a drummer came
n to sell gocds.
Henry's partner selected a lot they needed
nd gave a pretty stiff order.
The drummer was pleased , and raid to
lenry jocosely : "Well , wo will give you the
Hiial three months. I guess ycu are all right
nanclally , "
"We are devilish haul up , " said Henry.
My partner keeps a trotter and lives bejond
ils mean ? , and my wife Is fearfully extrava-
ant. We may be able to hold up and we
may not. "
The drummer refused ths order and went
out , and Henry's partner btuck a bunch of
nobby fingers under hlu nose and pleaded
with him to come out In the back yard.
Henry went out and took six more drlnkw.
Later on a customer came In and Henry
ehowed him scmo goodu. Ho ordered them
sent to his house , when Henry Bald : "Those
goods are some old stock we bought at auc
tion , and not tit to use. We are charging you
10 per cent more than you would have to pay
anywhere else. Shall I send them up ? "
"You can take them 'round to the lunatic
asylum , " said the customer , "and wait there
for your pay. I'm not 'stuck on bing guyed ,
and I'll fight you anyw hero for a purse of 15
cents If you'll como out. "
Henry went out and bought four more
drinks and felt better.
About half an hour later Henry's pastor
called at the store to get him to contribute
toward the Sam Joins token of appreciation ,
Henry got up fioin under the counter to see
him. His coat was ripped doun the back ;
he l.ad one eye blacked and the other csvered
with stove pollt-h. "Wli3iir inazzsr ? " he
asked ,
"My dear brother , " kjld tbo preacher. "I
am astonished to so : you thu ? . Aio you 111 ? "
"You know Ananias ? " " '
yelled Henry , "lle't

Henry retiied under the counter again , and
the prracher vu-nt away badly thockeU ,

The cnthublaem with which Mr. Dam-
rcsch has devoted himself to propagating a
love for Wagner In Ihls country is worthy
of approbation. We"iay not all agree with
him that the Bayreuth prophet lo the great
est of the composcra/'ftut we cannot reascn-
ably dissent from his assertion that the his
torians who vvrlta ot th : musical art of the
end of this century vylll designate the period
by Wagner'ii name.
The last ten years have witnessed an ex
traordinary advance in the Interest felt In
ths "nit.slc drama. " Kvrn the French would
not again raise an antl-Lohengrln riot In
Paris , and It tliould not be overlooked that
the two best books written on the phillsophy
of Wagner urc from the pens of Ficnchinen
Adolf Jullen and Edouard Schure. The

slowly yielding to the dramatic powr
of the trilogy. In spit ? of the

Today the Dayrcuth prophet has many ad

W. II. McGe ? of the Bureau of Ethnology
of the Smithsonian Institute recently started
for the Pacific coast to explore the hitherto
unknown portion of Souora co'inty , Msxlco ,
and Tiburon Island , on the coast of Mexico ,
the home of the dreaded Seri Indian.
Mr. McGee Intends to venture with a party
of four or five persons upon the Island ot
Tiburon , sajs the New York Sun , an at
tempt which In all previous Instances has
elided disastrously for the investigators , 01 .
else has been rendered futile by the warlike
attitude of the Inhabitants. In several In-
slEnces where persons have tried to pene
trate the Island for the purpose of knowing
more of the habitat and customs of these
people , one or more of the explorers has
been killed , a nntable recent caoa bIng that
of two young men from the San Francisco
Examiner , one of whom was murdered
with his own rifle , his head afterwards be
ing beaten In with stones. According to
the statements of the various scentlflc men of
this city , Mr. McGee's attempt to visit the
Interior of Tiburon Island Is a very hazard
ous proceeding , but he is without personal
fear , and for the advancement of science
and ethnological discoveries theie Is little
he would not risk.
Upon being questioned as to the especial
objects of the- expedition and the possibili
ties of an unfavorable reception by the In
dians , Mr. McGee said :
"These Indians , through their absolute
lack of the moral sensa , their antipathy to
men of other races , and their entire lacjt of
any sort of civilization , being lower In grade
perhaps than any other human beings , arc-
most Interesting to this bureau , at this time ,
for , although many accounts have been writ
ten of them by visitors In the neighborhood ,
and btorics told of them by the neighboring
Papagos , nothing definite Is known of their
language and their manner of life except
what was secured In my other visit. At
that time , however , I only reached ths neigh
borhood of the Island , and , for lack of time ,
could not visit them In their homes. It Is
on Tiburon Island that I expect to learn
something of their language and their
methods of hunting and fishing , I am told
that they build very fair boats of reeds , and
that their methods of fishing are novel and
different from those of the Indians of other
trlb"s In that part of the country. I will
probably find on the Island the spring and
Einiiincr home of their chief and the subchlefs
of the tribes.
'The more fact that no one has done
this before Is no evidence that It Is not pos
sible to visit these men and learn Home-
thing about them. The other expeditions
made were perhaps conducted unfortunately ,
and the Indians were not tieated In HO
diplomatic a manner as might have been
adopted. Although there will be few people
ple In my party , I hope to return In safety
by adopting toward the Indians considera
tion and kindness. Small presents will be
made them , and they will be treated as if
they were children , At the same tlmo I
Intend to let them see that we are amply
armed and full capable of taking care of
ourselvcB. We will always bo on our guard
and prepared for an attack. The rcatioti
I do not anticipate evil consequences for my
party lies , perhaps , In the fact that I have
great confidence In the MookB * of my
weapons. In all , perhaps there arc not more
than seventy-five warrjors In the tribe.
These warriors have few guns of any de
scription , and are almost entirely without
ammunition , the Mexican government being
very stringent In Its lows on thla point.
Even If wo were attacked It Is my belief
that six good men , armed with rifles and
revolvers , could succeed In holding a greatly
superior number at bay while retreating to
our boat. At any intcwe are not going to
anticipate any silch trouble , for I believe
that If the Indians are not molested that Is ,
if they find that we will attend to our own
business and not Interfere with their ac
tions , we will be allowed to go our way and
return safely , "
Mr. McQce will b ? accompanied by Wil
liam T. Johnson , who has been long accus
tomed to life outdoors , In a good rider , good
boitman , and Is , In addition , an excellent
topographer , Mr. Johnson will make a map
of a portion of Sonora never before explored
anJ reported upon with any degree of ac
curacy , and also , If he IM uninoleHted. make
a map of Tiburon Itland , the outlines of which
are now Indefinite and the lutcilor unexplored
by a white man. Mr. MrGee "III also have
with him a Fapago Indian Interpreter and a
Mexican , both of whom he knows to be
wl'hout ffnr and entirely reliable In an emer
gency , There may perhaps be also two other
Mexicans In the party , whom he will select
on arriving In Sonora county. The party will
cross the strait between Tiburon Island and
the mainland In a canvas boat , which they
will cariy with them overland. This boat
ulll be large enough to accommodate the en
tire party with their anna , ammunition and
cimp equipage , the latter weighing about ten
poundB to the man. Mr. McGee will tpeml

A reporter of the Rochester ( N. Y. ) Demo
crat calleJ at the home of Miss Susan B.
Anthony to abk for her views on the new
woman's , bible , the first volume of wiilch has
recently made Ito appearance.
"Did jou have anything to do with the new-
bible , Miss Anthony ? " was asked.
"No. I did not contribute to It , though I
knew of Its preparation and the reason for It.
My own relation to or Ideas of the bible have
always been peculiar , owing to my Quaker
training , but I don't know that I can explain
just w'nat I mean. The Quakers consider the
book as historical , made up of traditions ,
handed down fiom the ages of the past , but
not as Inspired by God. Of course , people bay
these wom n are impious , presumptuous , .mil
all soris of tilings for daring to Interpret the
bible ab they themselves sec It. Out I think
the women have just as good a right to trans
late and twist the bible to their own advan
tage as the men have to twist and turn It to
their advantage , as they have done alway.
Hut now that thebo women have dared to do
what thu men have always done- , they are
called Impious. Originally the orthodox wo
men were to write their views and Uanid.i-
tlons alho , but when the time came they did
not put In an appearance , and so only the
opinions of the radical women were pub
lished. The idea that Mrs. Stanton or any
other of the women expected to translate or
write a new bible for women's use Is absurd.
They have simply taken tlie Pentateuch and
revised such passages ns tefer to women , and
written their commentaries upon them.
"And why have they not as good a right
to do this as have a body of men to do Hie
same thing ? Jn 1888 the bible was revised ,
and It Is from this revised edition that the '
women have taken their texts. I mys'lf am
not a student or Investigator , nor do I philos
ophize. I deal only In facts and work for the
freedom of women. The bible Is written by
men , and therefore lit ) reference to women
takes on the coloi of the manner In which
they were regarded In tliose days. In the
same way the history of the restoration was
written by men , and very little Is said of
the noble deeds of th ; women of the revolu
tion , though we know how they stood by and
helped the * great work , and It Is the bame
with history all through. "

The gradual disappearance and extinction
of that picturesque vagabond , tlie genuine ,
simon-pure gypsy , lus cJiistd much comment ,
but the reason for the dying out of the old
race Is bonienhat difficult lo find , Huys tlie
Troy Times. There are probably more roving
ing , wandering vagabond ) In the world to
day than ever before. , but a real Itomany Is
seldom found , even In Hngland , where ho
formerly flourished. In this country leal
gypsleo were never numeioux , and me today
Uss so than ever before. They are occasion
ally met with , but the bands are either very
fainall or are composed of lioito trading
bcamps and fortune telling "fakirs , " who
have not a diop of the Hmunny blood In their
veins.
In the old days the gypsy Impressed him-
bclf and his personality on the llteratuio and
the art of the countries In which ho roJincil.
It was a poor novel that did not Intioduco u
gypsy fortune teller , and a poor play that did
not have at least one child stolen by g > psk'B ,
while I'no artists fairly reveled In slmllex and
sketches of gypsy maidens , Hut thegypsiei
of today do not Indulge In any child stealing
proclivities , although they occaMonally nuks a
"bluff" at telling forlimwi. As for the chil
dren , they usually have enough of their own
not tu bother their heads and link their lib
erty by stealing thoio of other people ,
A band of gypsies wlilch oppeared In the
piovlnco of Quebec the other day actually
tried to sell their own children , arguing that
times were to I > MI- that they were no longer
nblo to provide for the little ones. So It can
readily bo seen that the day of the g > psy In
