It Is said the re sult of this article was to have Mr. Cham berlain placed under the protection of de tectives durlt.g his stay In America. The editorial which occasioned the great est excitement among Irishmen and dc- inmciatlon by them In general was published In the Irish Republic on September 13 hut , a week after Dr. Thomas Gallagher , who wa. < released from Portland prison , hod ar rived here. Jones was one of the amnesty committee which received Gallagher nnd hl denunciation of the doctur'u prison treat ment was bitter In the extreme.

The latest application of "gag" law It the decree by Captain Gen eral Woylcr whereby all nowsdealera are compelled to send one copy of each and every newspaper they are going to eell to be ap proved or disapproved by the censor. In i this manner all newspapers containing re- i ports of the war are qulo.ly squelched. Tr.ero ' Is no doubt the election of McKlnley 1s n source of much worry to the Spanish govern ment , for It Is generally conceded the new ptcsldent will do something toward recog nizing the Insurgent government's belliger ency. In conversation with olllcers high In the Spanish army and who nro cloae to the MadId government , they have positively as serted to mo that the home olllco has assur ances from their minister In Washington to the effect that the Cleveland administration will not recognize the Cubans under any cir cumstances. At the time that congress passed the joint resolutions the Spanish min ister had a conversation with the State de partment , and he was assured by that de partment that no matter what congress did the government would under m > circum stanced recognize the belligerency of the Cuban Insurgents. From , one of General Wcylcr'a secre taries , I was also Informed that General | Weyler has Issued Instructions to all the captains of crulsera that whenever nn ex pedition Is caught court-martial Is to be madu on the spot and the execution to fol low In order to avoid International complica tions such as the Competitor case. In the trial of political prisoners here there Is no such a thing ns justice , for the judges have to give u verdict against the prisoner or Incur the enmity of the captain general. As an Instance , I will cite the ease uf Manuel Vlcudl. Vicndl was the attorney for Julio Sanguilly and Aguirre and managed to secure the release of Aguirre and the reversal of Sangullly's case In Spain. Well , a trumped up charge of conspiracy was made against him and he today Is an his way to the African islands. If he la not dead. The judges are all with one or two exception Spaniards and men who have no knowledge or acquaintance In the city and hence their Interests center with the government on which they are de pendent for their living. Of battles there have been many. In which much blood has been spilled , and they have been suppressed by the censor. Gcneial Kchaguc met u terrible defeat , and has been iiilto badly wounded , so much so that It Is feared be will die as the result of the various wounds ho received. The battle was fought at Guayablto * . The Spaniards left Santiago de Los llanos some 1,5JO strong and with n section of artillery. They met the Insurgents , who were fortified , and the fight lasted nil day. the Spanish remaining on the offensive , only advancing when the Insurgents had withdrawn their men from the hills. 1'iom men who were In the en gagement I learn the artillery was without ofllcers , nnd one entire company of Arapllcs' battalion was almost annihilated. The of ficial report to the captain general reads there were only llfteen killed and nlncty- three wounded , but from one of the lieu tenants who came to Havana I am reliably Informed the deaths wcro sixty-five nnd the wounded 17C. Among the wounded were Lieutenant Colonels Aragon , Roilerlgucz and Romero. U seems the Insurgents bud their dynamite gun In working order nnd did much damage with It. Ily newspapers received from the United States I learn the Insurgents are reported to have been dislodged from their poal- tlons. That Is not true. The Insurgcnta are yet In the mountains of Plnar del Rio. Maceo. with a small band , went to receive an expedition , ami the Spanish olilclals cabled that be had been dislodged. They will have a time getting him out of the mountains , ns Maximo Gomez , with a strong force. Is coming up from Camaguey. It Is much In doubt K General Weyler will be able to remain In Havana long. Ho will either have to go to Plnar del Ulo or to Santa Clara province to direct opera tions. In fact even his own men arc com plaining of bis Inactivity. At Guayot , tile insurgents defeated tin SpanUh troops under Denial , and though they report only nine dead and thirty- seven wounded , after five hours' fighting and gave the Cubans a lore of 100 dead and 300 wounded , still from a medical student who Is stationed at Regla I learn that from this action the Spaniards brought ninety- seven wounded soldiers to the hospital , to say nothing of the number of men who were left behind too badly wounded to bo car ried. ried.The The executions continue as merrily as ever and It has come to such a pass now that the court-martial Is held at night and the onicers often decide the death penalty without even having the prisoner present. In the past few days twenty-nine Cubans have been executed. Ill-tired on Account of Overwork. WASHINGTON. Nov. II.

" A druggist writes that "one bottle of Ayer's will give more benefit than six of any other kind. " If one bottle of Ayer's will do the work of three it must have the strength of three at the cost of one. There's the point in n nutshell. It pays every way to use Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

No lime has yet heuu fixed for I hlH return to Havana , but It Is understood ho hns been nsked to remain hero probably 'a couple of weeks longer. In order to hold himself In readiness to confer with the president and secretary of state over the Cuban situation. j I General Lee talked tonight of the Spanish- j I Cuban situation , and , while not denylni ; the possibility of war with Spain , expressed j the opinion that the reports that open rup ture was Imminent and that consequent preparations for trouble were being niado by both countries might bo greatly exas perated. Ho said lie had no knowledge of Immediate dancer of hostility , though , of course , there was great fcellni ; among some Spaniards against this country , as they thought thai \\lthout filibustering aid and comfort from here the rebellion might easily be suppressed. ' He had no Information as to whether the Spanish were prepared or pre paring for war. He said : "I do not believe there has been any massing of armament In Cuba with a view to possible trouble with the United States , nor that the construction of Spanish war vessels Is to be attributed to any such contingency. The Spanish may be improv ing their defenses wherever possible , but It docs not necessarily imply expectation of war. The United Statca Is steadily strength- cnlng its fortifications and defense works. but It Is an old maxim that says : 'In time of peace prepare for war. ' "Abnut the war sentiment In Cuba ? The Spanish oinclals salil nothing to me that Indicted an expectation of war. The only thing that could bo construed to give- that Impression Is the mounting of a battery of heavy scacost guns along the coast above Havana. There are from twelve to llfteen of these that extend perhaps a mile or a mllu and a half north of the limits of the city proper. These point to sea and not toward the Insurgents. In case of attack It Is poswlblo that these nilRht be made to supplement the defense given by Morro Castle. Cabanas ami Hclna and other forts. "The Spanloh authorities rather censure the United Slates for not strictly enforcing the neutrality laws , and many think that , as the sympathy of this country is more with the Insurgents than with the Spanish , our government" does not want to take the proper precautions to prevent expeditions leaving I'nlttil Stfcles siaports and landing In Cuba. I told the Spanish authorities that thry mus remember that there was an Immense exte'iH of tseacoast , with In numerable' InlcCs and places where expedi tions could bo concentrated and embarked. From the trouble from which they them selves hld tg prevent the landing of such expeditions on the Cuban coast , notwlth standing the ! _ that their gunboats and other vessels' ' \Ycre , constantly patrolling the coast and oil i thr lookout for filibusters , some Idea could b fornip.l of the compara tive ease with Which the I'nlted States could be evaded. With the comparatively small Cuban * coasC * line I know'of only ono big expedition tiat ) of thr Three Friends which has beqii captured by them.

It la understood , to Increase the amount to a Ilgure commensurate with \ l the magnitude- the exposition , but In ordpr ' to dn this some action must bo taken before I I i congress convenes to satisfy the authorities i that the Intent of the bill appropriating i $200,000 for the exposition has been realized.

Senator Ilrlce'a scheme to establish a new line between Chicago and Cincinnati Is likely to he realized at an early day. George I. , llrad- bnry , vice president and general manager of the LakeKrle & Western , and Fort Wayne , Cincinnati & Louisville railroads , has opened an otiiee at Chicago , and will have his principal headquarters In this city. Mr. Hradbury Is the right-hand man of Senator llrlce In the management of the roads he controls , nnd his removal to Chicago clearly ahows that Senator Hrlco's ChlcaRO-Clncln- natl line la about to be opened for huslnejis. The obstacle In the way of establishing the new route was the dtlUcuky In obtaining nn outlet for Senator Ilrlee's Ohio lines to Chicago. A deal hail been contemplated with the Ilaltlmoro & Ohio fr.r tne use of its tracks from Chicago 10 u connection with the Cincinnati. Jackson & Mackinaw rail way , but It appears that this Idea has bren abandoned and the Wahatdi will be used as an outlet from Chicago. The most profound secrecy Is being maintained as to the ttafHc In which the two steamers , which have been contracted for by the Lower Lakes Steamship com pany , by the Chicago Shipbuilding company , are to be engaged. It Is the general opinion In lower lakes ship crlclcs that the boats are to bo the nucleus of a new line of steamers between Chicago and Oawego , N. V. , where rail connection will ho made to the seaboard ut New York , with the Ontario & Western railroad. That railroad has long been seeking an outlet to the west by way of Us own. If this surmise l correct it will gl\t > Chicago another Important lake and rail connection with New York with the opening of navigation next spring.

The roads of the Wiatern Passenger association have for some tlmo been considering the advisability of placing In the market a S.OOO-mllo Inter changeable ticket , and at the last meeting cf the association the matter was'discussed In a very thorough manner. The majority of the objections that were urged against the ticket , it was suggested , was that the Male of the tickets be placed entirely In the hands of the chairman of the association , each road to be paid for whatever portions of the ticket It might turn In. After a long dis cussion It was decided that It would be the better policy to defer action until the meet ing of the eastern lines , which has been called for this city on Thursday of next week for the purpose of coiiiiiderlng the In terchangeable ticket plan suggested by Gen eral Passenger Agent Ford of the Pennsyl vania lined. If no action Is taken by the eastern lines , the western roads will take up the matter themselves. Itllllrund Sh < iiH ItcilniMTime. . HLOOMINGTON , 111. . Nov. . The Chicago cage & Alton managers announce a reduc tion of hours of labor In their general shops in Illoomlngton from eight to seven going Into effect at once. They also announce that , during the month of December the 1.000 men employed will bo given thirty-two hours work per week. General Superintend ent Gray says that the action of the com pany Is caused by the decrease of freight and paaEcnyer tr.illle , and also results from the fact that the Alton employed their shop men ten hours a day all through last sum mer , while other roads were running short time or had closed their shops. The men are paid by the hour. SiK'eesNiir In CiiurlrlKlit Appointed. CHICAGO. Nov. 14. Frederick M.

EXPENSE FOR THE SPECIAL MESSENGERS CinnhcrNoino Method of Colle and Delivering the Suite * ' Volt- Tolerated llccailMC of An tique Precedent. WASHINGTON. Nov. 14. ( Special. ) That unique piece of political baggugo known to the American people as a messenger to Htato electors will shortly be wending his way to Washington with the precious electoral vote of the several states. Kvcry recurring four years the messengers of the electoral col lege look forward to a high old tlmo In de positing the votes of the electors with the secretary of stale , president of the senate and the judge of the district court of the state In which said electors meet. There have been many efforts made to amend tin old law creating these messengcrshlps , but up to the present time the efforts have been of little avail , for congress has looked upon a change In the manner of depositing the votes of state electors as a blow at the fundamental principles of our government. The law creating these messcngershlps wai- passed In 1792 , and for upward of a ecu tury has been one of the bulwarks of oui liberty. In ISO ! certain amendments won made to the law dctlnlng additional powers of the messengers and in the manner In which they hhould carry the returns to tin scat of government nt Washington. In the Fifty-third congress Chairman Tucker from tlu * committee on the election of president and vlco president presented i report to accompany house resolution 7088. which had for Us object the correction ol certain evils growing out of the messenger- ship service , reporting back a substltuti bill relating to changing the mode of trans mission of votes of electors for president and vice president. I.Ike others of the kind , thr bill died In committee. There seems to bo , no valid reason why OK icturns of electors should not bo transmitted by tbo Postolllce department of the govern ment and by express rather than by the cx- penslvo method now In vogue. As nn In stance of how much the Treasury department pays messengers every four years it may bi noted that In 1872 the mcssetiKcrshlp service cost the government $20,000 ; In 1S7C , ? 3sr)7 , In ISiO. $3.713.75 ; in 1SSI , $10.3IG.70 ; In I8SS $ ! ) ,211.75 ; In 1W2 , $12,071.50 , and It Is an ticipated that In this year , 1S90 , the cost \\lll touch. If not exceed , the figures of 1872 , that of $20.000 , there being forty-live states In the union and the messengers com ing from the four points of the compass. It is no mere bagatelle that Is paid for mileage to these several couriers of state electors they receiving 2ii cents per mlle coming and golng-by the best known and usually traveled route. DAVI3 MEHCKH'S AMENDMENT. Uepresentatlvo Mercer , during tbo first session of the Klfty-fourlh congress , Intro duced a bill to amend certain sections of the revised statutes of the United States relat ing to presidential elections and which were as follows : Ho It enacted by the scnnto and house of representatives of HIP United States of America In congress ntMunihlcd , That seo- tlons 140 and IK bo amended to read : LS follows : "Section 140 The elcutors Hhnll dispose of tin.ecrtllleiilcrt thus inndo by them In tlio following manner : " 1. They shall forthwith , nt government expense , forward by express to the tu'cro- tary of state , at the seal of government , who Is authorized and directed to deliver Ilio mum.to the president of the sunate , ono of the certlflcate-M.

" Suction 2. That sections H.I and HI be , and the BIIIIIO are hereby , re-pealed. No action wan taken on the bill during the first sicslon of the Klfty-fourth con gress , and , while Congressman Mercer muy bo exceedingly anxious to get his bill on the citleiidar with a favorable report at tached. It Is extremely doubtful If tint bill will become a law during the closing days of the present eongnta. That nome law cor recting present condiHoiiri relative to can- vaulting the vote for president and vlco president should bu passed la admitted , but cangremM U a good deal like an old woman in making changes In tradltlonn which have grown up In relation to the executive olllco.
