HAVANA , Cuba. Jan. 10. ( New York
World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The
nutrcroug reports circulated In the past ten
dny that General Martinez Campos had re
signed , had been recalled , would bo super-
ficdol and what not , I have avoided. Nearly
nil these rumors came from Interested par
ties , who are hostile to General Campos' en
lightened policy. There malcontents became
bold and expressed their feelings openly.
The old soldier know or suspected all this.
During the Ten Years' war Captain Gen
eral Dulco fell Into disfavor with tlto ultra-
Bpanlsh , who mobbed ths palace and com
pelled Dulce to go aboard a Spanish steamer
and sail for Spain. I am Informed on good
authority although I am not at liberty testate
state what that authority Is and I am au
thorized to cable that General Campos sent
word to the leaders of the malcontents that
ns far as he personally was concerned they
might bark at him nil they pleased , but he
had an official duty to perform , and ho Is not
General Oulce ; If they caused any demon
stration that would lead to public disorder
} iu would land every ono of them In the
casements of the Cabanas fortress , or , If
necessary , would shoot them In tholr tracks.
There Is not a shadow of doubt but that
General Campos would do exactly as he said
he would do.
The disaffected Spanish conservatives have
been sending cable ills-patches to Key West
containing complaints , addressed to their
friends in Spain , General Campos' resig
nation would please > the reactionaries , but
nobody else.
MOVEMENTS OF THE REBELS.
Great confidence Is felt In ofllclal circles
that the Insurgents arc In peril ; that capture
or serloiiii defeat awaltu them. A member
of the captain general's Ktaff Informs me
that while Gomcz'u exact Intentions -ara not
known here , his own opinion Is that the
Insurgent chief will go to the Vuelta Abajo
tcbicco region , but that after raiding the
eastern part of Plnar del Rio province h ?
will try to return cast , the purpose of his
raid having ended.
General of Brigade Garcia Navarro , who
was promoted yesterday on his merits to be
Bincrnl of division , engaged Maceo'p rear
guard yaatorday near Cabanas' , which Is
wct of Mariel , near the coast. M-acco con
tinued his policy of avoiding a battle , moving
north and west. Colonel Arlzon afterward
had a brush with the rabels. The loss to the
Spaniards was fifteen wounded. The rebel lo. s
Is unknown.
A large Spanish force Is stationed to as
to cut off , If possible , a movement by Maceo
eastward.
General Suarez Valdcz telegraphs
that Gomez continues his westward move
ment beyond San Cristobal.
Gomez was In the neighborhood of San
Crlstobol yesterday on the Hn ? of the West
ern railway. In Plnar del Rio province. An
other dlvis'on of his force , commanded by
Micop , waa near Banes , but to the westward
of that point. The report that a suspicious
vessel was off thci coast thereabouts , which
xsas expected to land arms , proved Incorrect.
Thsro are Spanish cruisers In that vicinity.
San Crlstobol Is a small village forty miles
from Plnar del R'o , and ( he-western terminus
of thi railway line. Since , the destruction of
Gabriel , , Gomez appears to have avoided towns
except for brief occupancy. lie has not been
In Quanajay.
DESTROYING RAILROAD PROPERTY.
Additional Intelligence wau received to
day concerning the condition of the
Western railway between Artemesla ,
forty-three miles from Havana , and
San Crlstobol , tlxty-two miles from here.
All the culverts were burned and more
than half of the telegraph posts were de
stroyed. A train started from Plnar de :
lllo CityWednesday afternoon for Artemcsts.
the Intervening portion of thci line having
up to that time been untouched by the In
surgents. The train had reached San Crlsto
bol when , at 3 p. m. , a large band of In-
urgcntH took possession of the town , ran
he locomotive down a bank and burned
nine passenger couches and six freight cars
laden with merchandise.
As there Is 'no ' sugar cane there , the flrc-j
seen along the line In that section arc sup
posed to bo burning railway properly. Onu
wooden bridge and trestle' Is 300 yards lone ,
ait has been burned. The railway will be
mocked for a long time.
The work at San Crlstobol was done by the
portion of the Insurgents Immediately led by
Gomez. The country about San Crlstobol is
buiron , sandy and unproductive. The In
surgent chieftain undoubtedly destroyed the
railway to prevent the use of the line by the
Spanish generals in pursuit of him ,
The question of subsistence Is now an im
portant one to Spaniards and rebels alike.
Gomez's followers no longer have their staple
food green sugar cane. There are cattle In
I'lnur del Rio province , but the country In
which the robe-la moved yesterday morning
will not support a large number of men. The
Spanish supplies must bu sent by rail to
Guaiiajay , nnd thence bo te.imcd. The West-
crjjlrallway Is useless bjyond Salud , twenty
III H from Havana , and there Is a long ,
dreary waste ahead before the city of Plnar
del Rio or the Vuelta Ali.ijo tobacco region
Is reached. WILLIAM SHAW UOWEN.

HAVANA , Jan. 10 , It Is announced that
123 wounded Insurgents who were picked up
on the battlefield nt La Clcba arc now in the
Spanish hospital at San Antonio do llanos.
The garrison of Hoyo Colorado , consisting
of twenty Spanish volunteers , has sur
rendered to the Insurgents. Hoyo Colorado
la near Bauta , which Is about twelve miles
from this city.
The lull which seemed to have taken place
In the activities of the Insurgents In the pail
few days ha given place once more to ar
unexpected dash on the part of Maxlmc
Gomez Into the heart of the rich tobacc ;
growing district of Plnar del Rio. Confldenl
claims have been made for several days
past on the part of the authorities that the
tlmo was fast approaching when the Inpur
gents were to pay the penalty fer Ih.'fr temer
ity , and when the Spanish were to close Ir
upon them as In a trap and annihilate them
The sympathizers with the Insurgents lmv <
themselves not been free from keen anxletj
nt the persistent stand the leaders were
making on the northern coast of Plnar do
Rio , and almost up to the outskttts ol
Havana Iteclf , while the continued actlvltj
of the Spanish generals was disposing aboul
them a force of troops thnt seamed likely tt
hem them in and cut them off.
The news cabled that Gomez has passec
Alqulzar and Gulra Melcna In Havana province
inco > vas received with relict by the friend :
of the Iniurgents , though the direction in
had taken boycnd that was not knnwn , bin
It was generally suppcc.'ed he was bent upor
retreat into the eastern provinces , glad tc
escape the trap set for him. It Is now
evident ho was merely making a pretense
at tctreat to mislead his enemy nnd mean-
Urns he has once more countermarched , lllit
A fox doubling upon Its own track , and to
night he has nearly his whole effective force
In th.3 tobacco district In the southern parl
of Plnar del Rio ready to visit dostructlot
upon the tobacco crop , as It has alreadj
been widely visited upon the sugar crop ,
His march westward from Gnlra Melena
wns a swift one , and he has been reporteil
today from Artemesla , Mangos , Palate and
Candelarla. The town of San Cristobal ,
which came next on nis course , was lefl
on cno tide , but judging from the route takr
by his vanguard he has passed by Santa
Ctuz , Taco nnd Parsoreal , toward Consela-
clon del Stir , which Is the terminus of the
railroad from Havana , running rojtlr.vest Inte
Plnar del Rio.
The northern portion of the province ol
Plnar del Rio has also by no means bei
stripped of Insurgents , and it Is reported today -
day that a band of 500 , commanded by Perlce
del Gado , has patucd westward along the
coast In the northern part of Plnar del Rio
going west through the sugar district and
by the plantation of Tlnaja , Quebra Hacha
to the post of Cabanas , and thence again
through Anlol and San Diego de Nunez tc
Banla Honda nnd to Las Pozas beyond
When the news of this movement wns re
ceived troops were hurriedly dispatched from
here to Banla Honda by sea to reinforce the
garrison at tjiat important seaport town.
There are Indlctlnct rumors here that ar
Important expedition for the relief of the
insurgents has been landed upon the north
ern ccast of PIndr del Rio' The boldness
of the Insurgents In remaining upon thU
coast In the face of danger of bslng cut
off lias been attributed to their cxpectaUor
if the landing of the expedition.
The authorities nave discovered evidence
of whati they conslde | ; a conspiracy to cause
an uprising In Havana and to hand the clt >
over to the Insurgents. The conspiracy Is
believed to bo widely ramified , and its dls-
covery has .caused grave uneasiness in
Havana , and susplslons that disaffection IE
much more widely disseminated than has
been admitted. Thirty persons have been
nrremcd for complicity in the plot , and elgfit
have been imprisoned , while 'Aqultlno Solano
police Inspector for the port of Havana , 'has
been relieved from duty.
An engagement has occurred between the
combined columns of General Navarro and
Colonel Arlzon nnd the bands led by Maceo
nnd Zayas , at a point between the planta
tions of Ragahlo and Bcgona In the district
of Cabanas. The Spaniards , It Is reported ,
took the Insurgents' position , who fled , leav
ing twelve killed and carrying off many
wounded.
The Insurgents have destroyed the railroad
station and have cut the tclegr.iph wire at
Aguada , In the province of Matanzas.

LONDON. Jan. 10. In an Interview todaj
with Mr. N. Oeach Burch , the consul foi
Venezuela , who hag Just returned to Lender
from South Africa , the latter Is quoted as
uaylng he did not think the United States
would support Venezuela's boundary claim u
whit beyond what was equitable and Just ,
Mr. Burch added : "Tho United States com
mission must have a beneficial result anil
compel Great Britain to disclose the ground
for her claimu to the Schomburgk Hue. Bui
If the United Staler wishes to make the com
mission unassailable It should appoint ono or
two European members of the committee.
The chances are the present situation will
lead to an Interchange of Ideas , which will
result In the resumption of diplomatic rela
tions. It is obvlcim that war would bo very
dlt-aptrous to u young country llko Venezu
ela , even if It was backed by the United
States. I do not believe the United States :
could bo BO 'lladvlEod as to make Venezuela
the reason for war , for In that case American
protection would bo disastrous ta the private
commercial Interests of the country , whatever
the results of the conflict. From any other
point of view except that of conducing to an
Intelligent mutual entente between Great Brit
ain and Venezuela for a settlement , the
United States intervention wculd be disas
trous. "

LONDON , Jan. 10. ( Now York World Ca

state It moic accurately , precautionary ac
tivity continues unabated In English docli
yards , arsenals nnd military camps , yet real
probability of war with Germany bocauss ol
any present complication seems as remote tonight -
night as a fortnight agft. Opinion grows In-
dr-cd that the kaiser's message to Krtiegei
was n momentary and unconsldered ebulli
tion , with the aant of his cabinet , It Is true ,
but of a cabinet which Is merely the echc
of the turbulent young monarch's will 01
whim. While the English press Is a unit Ir
meeting boldly any threat of war , German
newspapers of yesterday and today or * al <
most as unanimous In now disclaiming . "
warlike Interpretation of the kaiser's tele
gram. It remains , nevertheless , at > an un
doubted proof of his hostility to England , ami
England must henciforth reckon with It ami
! ts potentialities. It will undoubtedly moder
ate In the future what United Europe now
does not scruple' to call English arroganc ; Ir
all International , and particularly in all co
lonial , affairs.
Of course there may be still In the Soutli
African situation full excuse or even reasor
for the rush , but matters there continue tc
shape- themselves altogether for a peaceful
present solution. Certainly Lord Salisbury's
government so far shows no disposition tc
have all the antecedent circumstances ol
Jameson's raid made clear. If complicity 01
almost equally criminal carelessness ol
colonial ofllcc Is not proven , neither tin
klaser nor the Soutli African republic car
make the raid adequate cause for .furthet
quarrel. Thel'o seems , however , no furthei
pcsslbllty | for some time to come of English
aggressions In the Transvaal. We hear ol
no warlike , or even unhsml preparations
either In the German army or navy.
GERMANY'S HOME FLEET.
Germany has a powerful fleet at Kiel ami
Wllhelmshaven , consisting of the first-class
battle-ships Kurfurst , Fre'drlch Wllhalm
Branderburg , Welssenburg and Worth , the
third class battleships Baden , Wurtemburg ,
Itaycrt. Seagoing , and the coast defense
ships , Hlldebrand , Hagen , Hcimdall , Frlthjof ,
Selgfrld and Beowulf , besides thei older yet
very effleclent Ironclads Kaiser , Deutchsland ,
Wllhclm and Oldenburg , a few crulfers , ten
torpedo destroyers and about 100 excellent
torpe < lo boats.
Against this , however , not to speak of the
now flying squadron and many reserve -ships
which could very soon be commissioned for
icca , Is the English channel squadron , the
most 'powerful single -fleet Jiow afloat/ and
the Mediterranean Kjuadron , 'within a few
days' sail.
Commercial statistics prove that In the
single matter of German trade with England
Germany would lose vastly more than Eng
land , In case of war between the two coun
tries. It Is stated by experts that the in-
crcara of .German exports to England during
the last few years has been really enormous ,
and out of all proportion to German exports
to other countries. More particularly Is this
the case In rcspe'ct to woolen goods of cheap
nnd inferior character , which Germany has
recently taken to manufacture , and for
which she finds a ready market In the
thickly populated towns of England. Having
to pay no Import duties , her manufacturers
are able to undersell the Yorkshire makers ,
nnd by reason of che'np labor Germany can
even sell ready-made clothes at n price which
scarcely represents the value of the home
made English clothing. The markets of the
continent and the United States are closed
to Germany on 'account of. prohibitive import
duties , and In event of war with England
there would bo no option for German makers
but to close their factories , and make the
best arrangements they could with their
creditors. The same remarks apply with
even greater truth to the Lelpzlc toy manu
factories and the makers of cheap tools.
WOULD BE SHUT OUT ENTIRELY.
It would be Impossiblefor Germany to look
for aid to her continental neighbors or
allies. Austria Is still anxious to foster her
young Industries , which would be ruined by
German competition. If It were not checked ,
and the protectionist party In France is still
too strong for any hope from that country.
On the other hand , British experts to Ger
many do not represent anything llko the
sum to which Germany's e-xports amount.
The loss to English manufacturers by the
closing of German ports would be more than
balanced by Increased trade at homo and In
the United States. The German navy would
be wholly Inadequate to seriously interfere
with the British mercantile marine , and
thus , provided no other European power In-
torrcnta to assist Germany , England would
he rid at least for some tlmo of her most
powerful rival in nearly every market In
the world. BALLARD SMITH.

ferring to the fact that the leaders In British
financial and military clrclis and many In

at in ? ultlander conspiracy In the Transvaal ,
bo asks whether It would riot bo advisable
to Institute a radical change In the govern

his own co-opcratlon.
PROMISES A FULL INQUIRY.
Chamberlain , In replying , thanks him for
his offer and promises there shall be a full
inquiry nnd measures to prov.ent "a repetition

concludes : "My prercnt chief , object Is to
prevent a further embitterment of the rcla-
tlcns between the British anil Dutch , which
might result from extreme jncajsurca against

The correspondent of the , Tlnics at Berlin

LONDON , Jan. 10. There is a fooling
abroad In London tonight that there arc many
details of the complication into which the for
eign otllce of the cniplro has ij ° en placed
which have not been published ami much
speculation Is Indulged In by the wibll : . So
far as ofTlclal Information goes the situation
seems to bi > Improved.
The mystery of the naval preparations
occupies a largo place In the public mind
and the conclusion arrived at by the at
tentive public after thus thinking It over Is
that the tremendous activity displayed , not
only In fitting out the flying squadron , but
In the rushing forward of work In the navy
yards , arwrnals and supply shops for war
material , docs not appear wholly necessary
on account of the condition of the relations
with Germany. It is also felt that It Is
dinicult to sec for what point tl.o flying
equadron , which , together with the existing
available squadrons with which It Is proposed
to join It , will form , It Is said , the most pow
erful ( lest of war vessels ever put afloat , l
dcbtincd.
The situation In the Transvaal Is undoubt
edly greatly Improved , and unless President
Krucgcr has made extortionate demands ,
such as for the complc-tc Independence of hit
republic ami freedom from tlm suzerainty ol
Great Hrltaln , and has received the support
of Germany In favor of those demands , such
a powerful fleet as Is being prepared will not
bo needed nt Uelagoa bay. In fact , the whole
future of South Africa now depends upon the
nature of the demands made by Krucger ,
whoso response to the queen's message , ad
dressed to him in the third person , through
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain , Is , to say
the least , not cituslve. In fact. It virtually
declares that the president will hold Dr.
Jameson and the other members cf his expe
dition who were taken with him as hostages
for the disarmament of Johannesburg , whose
time of grace for the surrender of the arms
held by the ultlanders expires at C o'clock
this evening. Those of the ultlanders who
have not yielded their arms at that time are
to be. excluded from .the amnesty to be
granted to those who participated In the up
rising.
INDEMNITY DEMANDED.
The Indemnity demanded by the Transvaal
government from the Chartered South Africa
company | y variously stated at from 500-
000 to 2,000,000.
The disturbance In the Transvaal has led
to an exceedingly heavy stock exchange ac
count , and especially for Chartered South
Africa ami Consolidated gold fields. , llroker'j
arc having difficulty In obtaining payment
from weak holders , who have hoped to li
able to carry over their stock , but have re
fused to do so In view of the disturbed po
litical situation. Some of ths difference ;
paid have been v cy heavy. In two Instance
tb'ey amounted refpMtlyoJy to 80,000 and
'
35,000. Tfio 'former sum was paid , but In
.ttQ ) cj > .niJcaBe.tha matter"Ii reported , to
, lmve been a mauer ofteTnparary arrange
ment. Several failures are expected oo >
cur.
cur.The statement circulated hero tftday that
the admiralty had decided upon the forma
tion of a second special squadroh created
a , great deal 'of exlctement when li was an
nounced , but It way later officially denied.
Rt. Ho'n. , Joseph Chamberlain's secretary of
state for the colonies went to Osborne today
and ho will stay there over night.
Rt. Hou. G. J. Goschen , first lord of the
admiralty mad ? a special visit to Ports
mouth tcday , and Inrpected the ships of the
flying fquadron and raw the guns of their
armament worked. The workmen at Chat
ham , Portsmouth and Plymouth worked late
tcnlght by electric light for the fitting out of
the phlpo of this squadron. It Is expected that
these at the Portsmouth dockyard will con
tinue the work of preparation on Sunday.
It Is announced this evening that the govern
ment has ordered the stores of small arm
cartridges to bs Increased from 60,000,000
to 150,000,000. All these preparations , cf
course , mean an enormous outlay of trwsur ? .
The wages of workmen alone are 30,000
above the Denial expenditures , It Is reported
the government , In order to meet this and
further naval measures , will present a bill
Immediately when Parliament opens to devote
th ? surplus revenue over the present budget ,
chiefly arising from the remodeling of
the death duties and .to the activity in the
ptcck market , and which It Is expected will
amount to s\-cral million pounds , to naval
expense.
One effect of the present crisis has been
to Impress Englishmen with a sen * of the
marvelous diplomatic scent of Paul Krufger ,
the Doer president. The admiration felt by
Englishmen for the Scuth African executive
flndu abundant expression , even In the Caw
of the sharp reverss ho has administered lo
their policy , and their hejrty admiration for
Dr. JameoDn , Sir Charles Dllko dJclnrcd In
a speech today , tint President Krueger has
few rivals among modern diplomats ,
Some excitement has been caused by a
telegram from lloer sources In Johannesburg ,
which elates that President Krueger will
hold Dr. Jameson until ths Loidon conven
tion lo abrogated , which would mean the
abardonment of the English pazeralnty over
the Transvaal. The colonial office , however ,
has heard nothing of uuch a stipulation , and
the government Is nt disposed to believe
the report.

I'rlvatiAilvlot'H from Venezuela CDII-
llrm the Ui'iioi'lH.
CHICAGO , Jan. 10. A special to the
Journal from Washington eays ; "Tho re
port that the British arc strengthening their
outposts in Venezuela and advancing into
Venezuela are true. I have myself received
today a private dispatch from there cor
roborating It. "
So said Congressman Livingston of Georgia
this afternoon. He added : "I can
not show you the dispatch , It Is
private. You can , however , rely on
It. I called on the Venezuelan min
ister this morning and asked him to use
his Influence with Crespo to keep back Vene
zuelan troops. Should they advance It would
precipitate a conflict at once. That would
render our Venezuela commission useless ,
Wo would bo compelled to bsck up Vene
zuela and we would be plunged into war at
once. "
"You have seen the denial of the state
ment by the rirltlsh colonial office ? "
"Yes , but the statement Is true , never
theless. Unless Great Drltaln recalls her
tioops and reduces the outposts to their
former strength , Crespo would be compelled
to go to war to prevent a revolution ,
"My resolution was not , as Houtello
thought , a war resolution. It was a peace
resolution calling on President Cleveland to
Investigate the report , and If trus to demand
that Great Hrltaln undo what she has done.
Should Great Britain refuse , war would re
sult , but I don't think eho would refiu < 3.
Chairman Illtt promle.cs to have my resolu
tion considered Immediately , I have sug-
gcoted that If he likes lie may amend It by
Inserting a clause calling on President
Urespo to hold back lilo troops and so avoid
conflict or trouble of any kind with Great
Britain until the present situation be net
right and our comtulsslcn has made Its report

the Information \vns 1 < cpt strictly secret and.
the clerk of the police court Instructed not
to dlvulgo Its contents on any pretense. Offi
cer Dlcom was given the warrant and told ,
to servo It without delay. He Immediately
began a round of the usual haunts of the ex-
treasurer , but failed to find him at any one-
of thorn. No one had seen Bolln during thfr
afternoon , and It was feared by the pollco
that he had been given a tip of the Impend
ing arrest and had left the city. About sup
per time the officer visited the houseof
llolln , but was Informed that ho had not
yet returned , but was expected shortly.
Returning again after half an hour Officer
Illooni found llolln nt home , and proceeded
to read the warrant. It was received by
Bolln In surprise , but ho quietly replied
that ho would go to the station as soon as.
ho had eaten his supper , which privilege
was sranted.
Mrs. Uolln broke down completely when.
It wns announced that her husband was
under arrest , and the parting between thcnv

Arrived at the station , Mr. Dolln was asked
If ho would be able to u ecu re bonds for his
appearance , and ho replied that ho thought
It doubtful , as few of his friends knew or
his arrest , and he throught It highly prob
able that he would have to pass the night
In the jail. Inasmuch as Judge Gordon had

11:45 : a. m. today , four miles east of Carter
station. The train was made up of ono mall ,
a baggage , combination car , day coach , three

cauwd by the breaking of a flangeof ono
of the pony truck wheels of the engine ,
which broke the llsh plates of the rally and
