TlicKe groups of Insurgents were pursued Into the forcats and hllla of I'lnar dtl Hlo province , and utterly defeated , many of the positions captured by the Span ish forces , having been regarded , thertofore , by Cuban Insurgents as Impregnable.

Touching the story coming from London that the Turkish government has decided to Ignore all claims for Indemnity for maii- sacres save thowo of American origin , at tention Is directed to the fact that not a single American citizen has been killed In all the Armenian troubles. The only claims for Indemnity aside from those based on mission property , which have been preferred by our government , arc on account of the killing of the bltycllst , I.cnz , by Kurclj , which was In no way connected with the Armenian riots.

Senator Thuraton , one of the latest arrivals from Canton , expressed today In the most positive terms the conviction that an c.xtra ! session will he called. The senator waa ono | of the earliest and staunchcst supporters of Mr. McKlnlcy , and there Is every reason for believing that lila utterance Is Inspired to a degree , though the senator himself declines to say that such is the case. "All that I can say , " ho said today , "Is that I have very recently seen Major McKlnloy , end I nm convinced that a session of the next congress will bo called for about the 15th of March. That ought to be satlo- factory. I cannot quote any one , but I do not consider that there Is any doubt on the point.

Mr. McKlnley Is , of course , Interested in obtaining the vlown of republican mem- lieri of congrcsu on the situation , but I do not feel : U llbeity to go Into details of such conversation ns passed between us and I do not think anything has ) been definitely derided upon , but existing circumstances and prevailing ixmtltnont seem now to point sitrongly In the direction of nn extra -ses sion.

Mr. Dlngley said he did not care to dlscimi the Cuban situation or express an opinion as to the prevaillrg cablnent gosfrip. Ho gave It as his belief that little would be accomplished In the way of legislation at UIM ! session beyond the passagq of the regular appropria tion bill.

" " 1 think the business Interests are looking forward to the tlmo when that que.stlon can bo taken no by 'congress In an Intelligent and non-partisan way , " replied Air. Hanna. "Party lines have been broken down on that Issue nnd now It remains to be dealt with by the best thought of tioth parties. The truth is , our currency matters are In pretty good shape , I think.

The Venezuelan election docs not occur until October next , but already the contest Is waxing warm , ac cording to the press reports from Caracas. There arc four prominent candidates : Dr. Captllllo , minister of tha Interior In the Crcspo cabinet ; Dr. Sural. minister of pub lic works ; Munos Tensar , president of the state of Zullc. and Ignaclo Andrade. president of the state of Miranda and brother of the minister to Washington. All of these candi dates are favorable to General Crespo. and thus far no element opposing the present ad ministration has developed. The Drltlt'h con tention regarding the boundary line has served to bring all elements to the support of General Crespo. He has > taken occasion to state , howpver , that ho will turn over the government to his successor according to tlio terms of the constitution and has thus dis posed of all thought tlut ho will continue in the presidency. It was the retention of the presidency tlict canoed the last Venezuelan revolution and brought General Crespn into power. The recent return of ox-President Hnjas Paul to Venezuela ha ? been an Important event there. Ho has been In oxllo for .omc years , but under the amnesty granted by Crespo has returned and placed himself un der the protection of the president , who , In a public loiter to him , gave assurance of every saftguard of the laws. With the exception of ex-Prc idcnt ! ( lipnf.qn Illanco , now living In Paris , Ilojas Paul was the moat prominent of those who fled from Venezuela on the advent cf the Crcspo government and his return Is regarded as showing' complete acceptance cf the now ordoc uf tiilng.s Inaugurated by President Crcspo.

DcrlNlon of I lie South DaUnti ! Siipi-enir Court oti Siieelnl War ran Is. I PIERRE , S. D. , Dec. G. ( Special. ) The ! ' supreme court baa handed down a decision ' j which affects the validity of warrants , and ! very likely bonds Issued by all tlio towns In ] ( the state , which Issued such certificate. ! of j Indebtedness for the purpose of the capital j campaign. The case is entitled Shannon ft LougstnlT against the City of Huron , and Is a fliilt for payment of warrants Issued / to the firm for printing- done for the capital \ campaign committee of that town. The decision of the court , which waa 5 written by Fuller , la In substance as follows : First citing Section 1 ! . of Article x. of the | V constitution : "Except as otherwise provided - | vided In thla constitution , no tax , ( ] or rsacistnent shall be levied or collected. . or debts contracted by ( municipal corporations , except in pumuance j of law , for public purposes specified by ' law ; nor shall money raised by taxation , loan , or n&jefsnicnt for ono purpose ever he ill- I f verted to any other. | ' The location of the state capital for the ' ( ! benefit of private Individuals was n matter ' " wholly and foreign to the purprne and objects ' g " of the corporation , the charter of whirl neither expressly nor by Implication author- ; Ized any of Its officers to burden the munici pality with debts Incurred In furtherance of the scheme , ami the city was entirely pow erless to Issue Its warrants therefor. I'laln- tllTa , the capital committee , and all other perjons dealing with the officers of the municipality had notice and were charge * ' with a knowledge t.f the law under the limitations and restrictions of which , no Ka- Mlity could bu crea'cd or debt Incurred against the city of Huron for printing cap ital campaign literature , and the warrants when issued were void in toto. As a municipal corporation U forbidden by law , and has no vested right or inherent power to contract debta.and Isa-.to evidences thereof , to advance the Interests of Indi viduate , no tax payer of the city of Huron can bo compelled to contribute money for the purpose of promoting a capital cam paign , however much the inhabitants of the city might be personally bcnefltted thereby. Under the constitutional provisions above cited , the statutes of the stale , and cl-arter of the city of Huron , the delegate power of taxation can be used only for a public or governmental purpose , ns distinguished from a private purpose , of which the case before us Is a glaring example. The decision of the lower court Is sus tained. .South DiiUota. Ilnlry IIIITI-NH. | VKIttllLUON , S. IX , Dec. n.-SpecIal.

Thu cold weather has made milking nnd feeding of the cows very difficult work , and as a consetpitnco the daily quantity Is greatly decreased.

Already South Dakota butter Is quoted on the New York market nt a pre mium. The butter Is much sweeter and of a bettor flavor than the famous Illinois but ter. The grasses on the prairies are very nutritious , and a largo herd of cows can be fed and made to give plenty of rich milk from them as food , with perhaps a small amount of other feed once a dnv During the dryest tlmo in the year there Is always sufficient nourlshniont In the Brass to carry the stock through until fall.
