llv Insurgent I.cutlers Too Siniirt to llo
Tripped Up liy CinnpoN.
HAVANA , Jan. 3. The authorities confess
the grave condition of affairs by proclaim
lag martial law for the provinces of Havana
and Plnar del Rio. Maximo Gomez has de
clared his purpose to penetrate Into the prov
ince of Plnar del Rio. Although his forces
have not reached the borders of that prov
lnce > , the action of tlio authorities la un
derstood to Indicate that they have no hopes
of preventing him fr m carrying out his
threat. It Is not only the organized arnid
force of the advancing Insurgents thai- they
find themiielves compelled to prepare against.
In fact there 1st little apprehension that this
force * could effect much autccsa In an assault
upon this city'great ns la the damage they
'nave wrought. In the country. But the Ir
resistible progress of the Insurgent army
whither It llnteth from one end of the Island to
the other has served Immensly to Increase
the boldness of their sympathizers , who have
hitherto remained passive noncombatants. If
these were to see the occasion for a success
ful stroke thtro Is no doubt that great ac
cession to the Insurgents' force would be
gained throughout the provinces of Havana
nnd Plnar del Rio , and there arc grave fears
that all uprising would occur In the city ot
Havana itself.
The battalions which were placed near
Pales to check the advance Into Havana
seem to have been completely eluded and
the efforts to sava the rich sugar country
about Gulnes seem to have been equally futile.
Yet the column of General Echaguo Is sta
tioned In the Immediate vicinity of Gulnes ,
while General Navarro has forces both at San
Nlceles nnd Paters , and General Aldecoa Is
nt Ncuva Paz. These forces ore In the very
ccnntry through which the Insurgents have
advanced. General Valdez Is also stationed
at Madruga , the Marino battalion at , Aguacate.
on the line of tli3 railway batween Matanzas
and Havana , and General Caprat at Cleba
Mocha , a llttlo couth of Aguacate , and be
tween there and Madruga. Finally , Colonels
Segulra and Galvls are following In the rear
of the Insurgents.
It la believed that a large band of the
Insurgents Is still trying to force Its way
Into Havana by way ot the mountains about
El Guanamon , which is on the. . border In the
southern part of the province of Havana ,
going thence south of San Nlceles. A small
force of Insurgents , according to official re-
has already appeared In the districts
of San Nlceles , which adjoins Gulnes on
the east. Reports have been received here to
the effect that tha Insurgent forces' , moving
westward from the southern portion of the
province of Havana , have now passed Melena ,
about fifty kilometers from Havana.
The northern Insurgent army has been re
ported at Aguacate , about wsventy kilometers
from this city. As already cabled , It Is
b'lleved that the southern army of thpjnsur-
cents Int nds to make an attempt to effct
a Junction with the division In the province
of Plnar del Rio , to the westward of Havana.
Additional Information received this evcn-
iHK shows that the Insurgents have burned
the cano fields of the plantation of Santa
Toresa. near San Nlceles , which Is some
distance eastward of Melana and near Mount
Guanamon. The -Cubans have also burned
the field * In the district ? of Nueva Paz ,
Guinea. San Nlcoles and Polonque , between
Gulnes and 'Melana. Word han a ho been
locelved that the Insurgents have burned
the cane fields on the Sabrados plantation
In the Ciibano district and also the Rncru-
lldn und Munez fields and plantation of Delta
In the district of Sagua. The village of
5C-lueta , In the district of Calberen , has been
burned nnd the railroad bridge over the
river Ilanabana destroyed.
Quntln Handera , the third In command
of the Insurgent forces , has tramHerred his
headquarter ? , to n bpot betwefn Guinea and
S-ibana , which Is not far from Garuco. Ssbana
la not much more than twenty miles from
till * city. Another report has It that Ban-
elcra ban moved hln forces bftwcen Gulnes
anaSabana and Rnbley to Xones , In tha
dlicctlon of Bnlnoa.
Later the Insurgents are apparently mak
ing a hwlft advance directly upon Havana.
Tha ndviuice guard of their cavalry , under
General Lacreto , was at latest account ! * , at
L'U'aste. which IK only eighteen mllesj from
Oiioimbacoa , the latter being but n Mibutb
of Hiivuna , llvo wiles from the city , where

by Qnlntln Bamlcrn. Word received from
ICnlallna , u town between Gulnes and
Bullion , nnd about twelve inlls from La

a rapid advance movement In considerable
force on tha part of the wing of the In

CAHACAS , Venezuela , Jnn. 3. ( New York
World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) A
profound sensation has bsen caused by tlio
arrest of General Hermogene Lopsz , ones the
president of Venezuela In the time of Guz
man nianco. The arrest was made , It la-
raid , because of the discovery of revolution
ary correspondence Involving the latter.
English-capitalists , It Is tumcrcd , have approached
preached Guzman Blanco to stir up a rebel
lion here. The British government Is behind
ths plot. Among othera arrested are General
Gonzalcs Guiana , chief of police' unJer Guz
man Hlanco ; Domingo Carbajal , a revolution
ary chief In the time of President 1'alaclo ;
the 1'arcdes brothers , Valencia and many
more.
President Crepjia Is determined to suppress
the movement at any cost. The militia has
been enrolled , but not armed yet , and prob
ably will not bo until everything Is quiet.
Next Sunday President Crespo will Issue
a printed address to the people of Venezuela ,
giving the actual position of the government
on the Guiana question , expressing the gratl-
tr.do of the nation to President Cleveland for
Ills attitude In upholding the Monroe doc
trine , so necessary to the maintenance of
the Independnici of the southern republic ,
and urging the people to bury political dis
coid and present u solid front to the English
Invaders. At the same time General Crespo
counsels the peoplto becalm , to refrain
from violence and to await the action of the
United States.
The address will be read In the plazas of
the different cities. There- will also ba
speeches , music and fireworks. The Guiana
cartoons In the New York newspapers , espe
cially the World's , are posted on bulletins
In public places here. The crowdu cry :
"Abajo los Bngleses. " ( Down with'the Eng
lish. ) There Is no disorder.
A cabls dispatch from Paris reports that
the European powers have decided that the
United States arc strong enough to guarantee

LONDON , Jan. 3. A special commissioner
of tha London Dally Chronicle , who Is now at
Washington , sends the following important
dispatch : "I am now at length able to
speak with confidence of opinion In the lilgh-
eat American quarters. The only condition
on which the men whom I specially desired
to sea would speak has been my personal
pledge- not even by a hint to betray their
names ; therefore , I can only give you my
word that I am not exaggerating my author
ities.
"President Cleveland's message to congress
has done several things , good and evil. First ,
It has destroyed every chance of saving the
Armenians ; second , It has given nn Impetus
toward closer ties between Great lirltain and
the United States ; third , it has enormously
emphasized the line of cleavage always ex
isting , but discreetly Ignored , between east
and west in the United States. The west
today regards the east as practically a Eu-
lopean annex , and New York bankers as
allies of the 'money sharks' of Europe.
Fourth , It has rendered certain the creation
of a great American navy , which the next
generation will be almost Irresistibly
tempted to use for aggression ; fifth , and most
Important , It ha. ' , unlesy foolish words or
unforoeen events bar Its natural consequences
quences , paved the way for better futuie
relations , because Americans , having ex-
rerienco of the consequences , will cease their
Ignorant denunciations and Englishmen
will learn to show much greater respect to
American national opinion , knowing that force
ia bililml It , and will therefore refrain from
provoking it by utterances and acts of veiled
'contempt.
"Finally , the message has rendered possible
the avoidance of a far vaster danger , namely ,
the question of the Nicaragua canal. A man
who would be very near the head of the
American army In ca9 > of war , Bald to me :
'It Is a blei'Slng the Venezuelan affair has
happened , because a specific solution of this
will point the way to the same thing over
Nicaragua , concerning which , otherwise the
two nations would certainly have fought. '
"Every paper prints my yesterday's dis
patch with striking headlines. Great sur
prise Is expressed litre that It should have
been necessary for an English Journalist to
como to Washington In order to secure the
publication of ofllclal Urltlsh correspondence
BO vital to the Issue. Passing ov < r the com
pliment , the fact Is certainly curious and
the * significance not altogether pleasant.
"However , the Schomburgk line Is now
proved destitute of any quillty of perma
nency , and It therefore remains to consider
ths t'ltuatlon as off cted by Its removal. I
can affirm positively that the American gov-
ninEnt : \ above everything anxious for arbi
tration. Whatever may have been Its actual
result , the Intention of President Cleveland's
message wag amicable. The close entourage
of tin president today scouts the Idea that
it was not a message of peace.
Dut behind it has sprung up a national senti
ment which It would be utter madness on the-
part of the English people to disregard or
underestimate. The Monroe doctrine Is not
worth discussing. All the learned pamphlets ,
tliu professors' opinions , the newspaper dis
cussions of It , are labor lost. The fact Is
that If Venezuela does not come within the
four corners of the Monroe doctrine , then the
new doctrine , the Olney doctrine- , covers It ,
and American opinion overwhelmingly favors
Its general principles. Moreover , America
demands arbitration as a sacred right , and
for this 8he will fight If needful.
' 'While ' allowing all duo weight to the
eastern press , you must remember the line
of clcavago mentioned above. Remember
ajso , to what extent the south found support
In New York before the war of the rebellion.
The man who perhaps did more than any
single individual to make Lincoln president ,
tclla me Lincoln said to him before the war
seemed Inevitable'The trouble U the people
of the south have their creed , which they
hold , and we have ourf , which we hold. Tlulr
principles are as sacred to them as our
principles are- sacred to u ? . '
"The same words apply to England and
America toJay. Abslt omen. I am as
tounded at the depth and character of Ameri
can feeling on this question. Men , experi
enced , staid , elderly , conservative , many
holding judicial positions of great respon
sibility , frankly declare- their uncompromis
ing support of this American doctrine. And
while. It Is char that President Cleveland
was Infinitely too clever and to de
voted to 111ii own party not to eee that hU
message would deal a knockdown blow to the
two groups of hla political enemies , repub
lican * and free silver men , still no greater
nilctake would be possible than for England
to regard the message as a mere party
maneuver. If this Utter view gains accept
ance , the consequences of the mistake may
bj awful. When I reflect on tl ponlblllty
of this and know what I know of American
opinion , I am profoundly depressed. Arbi
tration Is demanded by every consideration
deal eH to civilized mankind. "

-the most fnvored nations article of the

special arrangements with rcgitrtl to the
coal trade entered Into by Venezuela with

GUAN\VILLK.
When Lord Salisbury came Into power upon
the overthrow of the Gladstone government
ho disavowed his predecessor's action In a
note to Guzman nianco , dated July 17 of the
same year , In which the following paragraph
appeared :
"Her majesty's government Is unable to
concur In the assent given by predecessor
In office to the general arbitration article
proposed by Venezuela and It Is unable. _ lo
agree to the inclusion of matters other than
those arising out of -Interpretation of
alleged violation of this particular treaty.
To engage to refer to arbitration all dis
putes and controversies whatsdevfr would be
without precedent In the treaties made by
Great Britain.
"Questions might arise , such as those- - In
volving the title of the British crown to ter
ritory or other sovereign "rights , which her
majesty's government could not -pledge Itself
beforehand to refer to arbitration. "
It will be seen that Lord Salisbury Inter
prets Earl Granvllle's agreement' covering
the arbitration of the ' boundary dispute.
Thl ? Is compared with the' passage In Lord
Salisbury's reply to Mr. Oln'ay , dated No
vember 28 , which reads as-follows :
"Mr. Olney Is mistaken In supposing that
In 188C a treaty was'practically agreed upon
containing ; a1 general arbitration clause under
which the parties might have submitted the
boundary dispute to the 'decision of a third
power , or of several po\veifs ) ln'arrnty1"wlth
both. It is true General Guzmaa .Blanco
proposed that the commercial ( treatybtween
the two countries' should -contain a clauw of

it will be located in the building at the

vast dal of preparatory work.must be done ,
which will not require the Immediate par

There must bo a careful collection of all cf

LONDON , Jnn. 3. IMItor Hesso of the
South Africa Critic says he has a cable dis
patch referring to tbe recent events
nt Johannesburg sent since Dr. Jame
son's defeat and ot such n grave
nature that he declines to pub
lish It until confirmed from other sources.
Hesse has had a long experience In the
Transvaal ajid his previous news regarding
the present crlv'.s In affairs there has all
been accurate. In the course of nn Inter
view today he was quoted as saying : "If
Johannesburg Is the same town 1 knew the
city has risen and has either succeeded or
failed In an attempt to liberate Dr. Jame
son. I am satisfied that all the foreigners
there , Including the Americans' , would help
ths Engllt-h. There are practically no Boers
at Johannesburg except the armed burghers
who are parading the streets. " Beyond this
Mr. Hesse declines to talk , but It was In
ferred from his manner that he had word
of n rising at Johannesburg. All kinds of
rumors were current In the streets about
the Stock exchange this afternoon , one being
to the effect that Dr. Jameson had been
tried by court-martial and phot , but ns the
government Is In control of the
telegraph wires very little news | y
obtainable. Several firms , like the
Rothschilds , have advices from their
correspondents In South Africa , but
refuseto publlfh them. The latett story cir
culated this afternoon was that the sscond
body of the army belonging to the British
Chartered company , numbering about 400 ,
which It was paid had startetd out to rein
force Dr. Jameson's troops , had been cut
to pieces by the Boers. This Is the fores
which Is supposed to have been advancing
from Buluwayo. H was also rumored , and
se-jmlngly confirmed by dispatch received
here , that there has < ben an uprising in
Johannesburg. It was added that many por-
yens were killed during the disturbance.
Under these Influences tha Stock exchange
closed greatly depressed and a substantial
fall In prices was caused by the adverse ru
mors from the Transvaal. Kaffirs were flat ,
and thera was a general decline of % to
% , with not much offering , Consuls were
% lower than yesterday.
The Goblo this evening says It lo bclleveJ
that Dr. Jameson's ofDcsrs Included Captain
Charles Coventry , second son of the earl of
Coventry , whose eldest son. Vis-count Deer-
hurst , married Mlsa Virginia Bcnyngo of
New Ycrk , and his two brothers , Henry T.
Coventry and Reginald W. Coventry. Cap
tain Coventry Is nn officer of the Bechuana-
land police. Dr. Jameson's other officers arj
said to include Lord Annaly , a captain In the
Scots guards , and Lieutenant Douglas Henry
Marshal , a eon of the carl cf Romnsy , who
has been serving with the Bcchuanalaml
border police.
The Berlin correspondent of the Times
fears that Emperor William's telegram will
Induce President Krueger to denounce the
Transvaal treaties' with England.
The colonial ofllce remained.openvuntil
2:3Qthlo : morning , many""officials.attending
there , but no further netfs' from Transvaal
was received.
SHOWING THEIR TEETH TO GERMANY.
Emperor William's dispatch to President
KNeger Is denounced with the utmopt
pavorlty in the editorials In English news
papers today. The Times says : "It Is grove
and distinctly unfriendly , and being compiled
after conference with Chancellor Von
Hohenloho and the foreign and naval sec
retaries , Imparts to It the Importance of n
state act. " The article proceeds to argue
that Germany has no ground to contend that
any doubt exists as to England's right of
suzerainty over the Transvaal , and asko :
"Is our Berlin correspondent Indeed right
when he confesses that he Is driven to the
conviction that Germany has gladly seized
this opportunity to humlllte England ? "
The Post says : It is evident that the em
peror considers war with England something
to be prepared for. Wo cannot hide from
ourselves that England stands alone. The
proper reply to the emperor's telegram Is
the recall of the Mediterranean squadron to
Join the channel squadron.
The Standard similarly gives Germany to
understand that England will brook no In
terference between herself and theTrans -
vanl.
vanl.Tho
The Dally News , the liberal organ , on the
contrary , says : "There Is nothing hostile In
the emperor's words. They are a warning ,
which Is sorely needed In some quarters , that
the encouragement of filibusters Is playing
with edged tools. England has no right to
interfere with the Internal affairs of Trans
vaal. "
The Berlin correspondent of the Dally Tele
graph says that Dr. W. J. Lclds , the secre
tary of state for Transvaal , who Is now In
Germany , has news that the fighting at
Krugersdorf was desperate and lasted for
twenty-four hours with heavy slaughter. Dr.
Jameson nnd all the survivors , the advices
state , arc prisoners , and It Is pretty c'rtaln
that come of them will bo hanged or shot
as an example.
The Times thinks the complete cessation
of news from the Twnsvaal Is Incompatible
with the reports already received , and 'BUR-
g'ets that the government should assume
control of the Eastern Telegraph company's
offices , as they are empowered to do In an
errcrgency.
BITTER AGAINST ENGLAND ,
A Berlin dispatch to the Post reports that
the evening papers thr hurl Insults
n En In ft England , the Chartered South Africa
company and Cecil Rhodes , The Nerd
Deut&cher Allcgcinelnc Zeltung appropriately
heads Its article"A Wild Dane ? . " .
The Berlin correspondent of the Dally
News says : "Tho affair threatens to become
a trial of strength between England and
Germany , I learn that the cruiser Condor
has been ordered to Delagoa bay. "
The dispatch to the Dally Telegraph rays :
"Tho relations between. England and Ger
many , which on Wednesday were danger
ously near a formal rupture , have now re

COMMENTS OF THE FRENCH PRESS.
PARIS , Jan. 3 , Not one of the nowspapjra
of this city minces words In commenting
upon the Invarlon of the Transvaal territory
by the filibustering expedition under Dr.
Jamison. In spite of the statements made
by the British colonial secretary , Mr. Joseph
Chamberlain , and the assertions of the gov
ernor of Capo Colttiy , the premier of Cape
Colony and the managing director of the
British South Africa company , the Figaro In-
uists that Dr. Jamison did not act without
having received orders to do so from Cecil
Rhodes , the premier cf Cape Colony , who , In
turn , according to the newspapers mentioned ,
was In communlcatlcn with England. The
Figaro adds : "Tile Engllrh simply wish to
do with the mines of South Africa no a pick
pocket docu with one's purse , nnd with all
the help of a well organized hustle. "
The Rappel remarks : "Germany , France
nnd Russia are In accord. What will Eng
land do ? Will she dare , with the United
States already on her hands , to defy Europe
with her Insatiable rapacity and untenable
claims , and end by arousing n formidable
coalltlcn to which she will be compelled to
humiliate herself ? "
Th ? Lanterno expresses the opinion that
Great Britain's contention that the foreign
powers have no right to Intervene In the
Transvaal Is nothing more nor less than an
application of Mnroclsm. "Mr. Rhodes' , "
adds the Lanterne , "wants to capture Del
agoa bay and thus nullify the conquest of
Madagascar. "
La Justlcs- says : "Dr. Jamison's attempt
at international filibustering has Inflicted one
more defeat on the invading policy ot tne
United Kingdom. "

was because many ot the motormcn and con

Issued by the company tint all who failed

would be permanently discharged ,
Additional pressure was brought to bear
upon the men to go back by President
Mulion's bulletin that the strike was not
legal , because- had not been authorized by
the constitution of the Amalgamated As
sociation of Railroad Employes. The men
who returned will be given their regular

willingness to consider any grievances Biib-
mltted by the employes.
The radical men who brought about last

threaten to withdraw from the association.

to trial has created an agitation In gang
circles and now Influences- which the
public has no suspicion are brought to bear
to save them from trial. The convictions

facts that the proof of the conspiracy Is
overwhelming. In spltn of efforts by poll-
