THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. ATE NEWS BY WIRE Important Battle Expected Soon in Cuba. INSURGENT FORCES T0 BE UNITED Will Attack the Command of Gen. Campos. LANDING OF FILIBUSTERS MADRID, November 14.—Dispatches re- ceived here from Cuba say that the insur- gent leader Roloff is at Sigunca, province of Santa Clara, awaiting Maximo Gomez at the head of a force of insurgents and with the intention of advancing upon the city of Santa Clara, the headquarters of Captain General Martinez de Campos, who is known to be preparing to give battle to the combined insurgent forces. Campos is now on his way to Sigunca and a most important engagement is expected. Gomez recently changed his tactics, of xt- tempting to tire out the Spanish troops, cwing to the decision of the Cuban revolu- ticnary assembly in New York, which !s understood to consider it urgent that the insurgents bring about a decisive engage- ment with the troops in order that the rev. olutionists may obtain recognition as bel- lgerents upon the part of the United States. Four yew gunboats have arrived in Cuban waters to take part In the blockade of tne coast of that island. HAVANA, November 14.—A filibuster expelition has landed at Yaguas, castera Cuba, from Venezuela. An unknown steam- and war material to a spot near the coast, and they were af- terward landed in open boats. ‘The name of the leader of the expeiition is not yet known. The reformist oresidents of the local com- mittces are resigning and joining the con- servalive party on account of the article in the Diario Della Marina of yesterday (cabled exclusively to the Associated Press) attacking Gen. De Campos and Premier Canovas Del Castillo, intimating that the latter's policy, prompted by Campos, is re- sponsible for the spread of tha insurrec- tion, ard that only the premier’s resigna- ticn can save Cuba. a MALSTER’S NAME ANNOUNCED. The Latest Candidate for Senator Gibson's Place. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., Novetmber 14.— Western Maryland republicans have been in town in large numbers today, the ma- jority of them kaving come down to boom Congressman Wellington for the senator- ship. Froin present indications it would ap- pear that the movement to make Welling- ton Mr. Gibson's successor will sweep aside all opposition, and politicians of all degrees seem to regard his success as unquestion- ed. Mr. Gary has determined to make no fight for the place, and the opposition from the eastern shore will be promptly over- whelmed. A new candidate in the person of Mr. William T. Malster ts under discussion to- day, and while that geutleman’s wisnes in regard to the matter are unknown, his friends are agitating his candidacy with considerable vigor, and should he disclose any senatorial ambitions the most formid- able cpposition to the Wellington boom will come from Mr. Malster and his friends. At present the contest lies between Well- irgton, Malster and Charles T. Westc the most prominent eastern shore aspirant, Docs the chances greatly favoring Welling- n. The friends of the candidates for a num- ber ef the more important places are dis- cussing their favorite’s merits on all oc- easions and some lively struggles may be looked for. ex-Congressman Sidney E. Mudd was in town ioday and told The Star correspond- ent that his canvass for the speakership was progressing satisfactorily, and the pre- vailing impression is that he will be chosen without much opposition. Colonel B. F. Taylor of Baltimore has announced his ambition to become adju- tant general. This position has generally been occupied by an ex-confederate soldier, and It is belleved that under a republican administration the place should be occu- pied by an ex-federal. Colonel Taylor is backed by the Grand Army interest in Maryland, and will probably receive the appointment. ‘There has been considerable discussion today as to the advisability of abolishing the office held so long: by Mr. Rasin, in- stead of demanding that gentleman's resig- nation. Should the office he abolished «ts duties will be imp d on the state treas- urer or the fire marshal, and both officials will have plenty of time to attend to such @dditional obligations. A movement is on foot among the Gor- man democrats in the state senate to com- bine with the republicans and make Mr. J. Wirt Randall of Anne Arundel president of the senate. The Gorman democrats are bitter in their opposition to Senator Bruce as presiding officer, and will do all in their power to keep him out of the chair. _— BRUSH CHAGRINED. MR. He Thought That He Had an Option on Doyle. NEW YORK, November 14.—The Doyle- Gleason exchange, sanctioned yesterday by the National League of Base Ball Clubs, has aroused John T. Brush of Cincinnati, who sald today that he had secured an op- tion on Doyle early yesterday. He said that Arthur Irwin and “Buck” Ewing spoke of the exchange of Latham of the Cincinnati club for Doyle yesterday, and Ewing, not being able to act, called upon him. Mr. Brush was very busy at the time and could not decide right away, but he considered that he held an option on the New Yorker. He was very much chagrined when he found that Doyle had been traded to Baltimore. Brush says that he will bring ti matter before the league meet- ing today, but Freedman of the New Yorks says that the Cincinnat! man has no case. Mr. Von der Horst said: “Brush may kick all he wants to, but we have the man, and you know that Possession i3 nine points of the law As far as the New York club {s concern- ed, Manager Irwin sald that no more deals would ve made. “Our team ts now com- plete, and we are satisfied, with the single exchange which we made with Baltimore. The make-up of the team will be: H. Davis, first base; Pfeffer, second base; Gleason, third base; Fuller and Connaugh- ton, shortstop; George Davis, left field; Van Haltren, center field, and Tiernan, right fleld; Farrell, Wilson and Foster, catchers; Ruste, Meekin, Clarke and half a dezen others for pitchers." Philadelphia offered Hallman and another to Pittsburg in trade for Louis Bierbauer, but the Pittsburgers declined. The magnates resumed their session at 12 o'clock, and all the clubs were represented. FLAMES 3FREADING IN BOSTON. The Empire Distilling Company Threatened With Heayy Loss. BOSTON, November 14.—Fire started In tory brick building, Nos. 200. 3 street, occupied by the Empire Distiling Company, today, causing a loss of $125,000—359,000 on the building, $75,000 on contents. There is an insurance of about $50,000 on. the latter. There were about thirty employes In the building when the fire broke out, but ail of them escaped. The Lowney Chocolate Compan: store is next to the burned building. Over four hundred girls were in ng rooms thers when the flames from the windows of the burning burst ate ue tur: ensned, and the girls joined in a vita! rush for the docrs.

Mr. Burns and His Contract—Bogus Milk Inspectors Working the Surrounding Country. Already the Dt considering the question of obtaining legis- lation for the District at the next session of Congress. There are a number of matters of great importance to the city that will be embo4d'ei in bills which the Commissioners hope to have passed before the next session of Congress closes. Senator Harris, chaigman of the ‘Senate committee on the District of Coiumbia, to- day transmitted to the Commissioners a number of bills, with the request that they indicate which they desire reintroduced during the next session of Consress. ‘There are a number of bills contained in the list which the Commissioners will doubt- less request Senator Harris to reintroduce at the coming sessicn of Congress. Perhaps the most important of these bills is the one known as Senate bill 2066, “To rroyide for continuing the system of trunk sewers in the District of Columbia, to pro- vide for sewerage disposal, to lay out high- veys and for other purposes.” This is the famous bond bill, and, while the Commis- sioners may substitute another bill, or even several separate bills, it is understood they will make a strenuous effort to have Con- gress pass them. Then there is the bill to regulate medical colleges, and the bill to regulate the practice of medicine in the Distffct, both of which will receive the attention of the Comission- ers. Senate bill 2672, to authorize the Commis- sioners to make and enforce sanitary and qvarantine regulations, will aiso be careful- ly considered, and another bill, it is believed, broader in scope substituted to cover the situation. Senate bill 1993, which number an official facetiously remarked would probably be the date of its passage, provides that after its passage all steam railroad companies will be required to erect sates or guards at all railroad crossings in the District of Co- lumbia. There is little doubt that the Com- missioners will urge the passage of this bill, since witnin the last few days their at- tention has been called to a matter wkich seriously affects the situation and exposes several grade crossings—dangerous gr crossings at that—to the merciless trains. Some days ago, when the attorney for the District advised the Commissioners to pro- ceed in the courts against any railroad that did not provide watchmen at its crossing of public i al the engineer department de- tailed an inspector to examine the several railroads and report what crossings were not guarded. His report mentioned several crossings in the northeastern section of the gity, and they were immediately looked {nto. It was found that the crossings, while clearly unprotected, did not come within the law, for the reason that the streets which intersected the road were laid out after the railroad had been established and had procured its right of way. This barred further action on the part of the authori- ties, and the railroad was never proceeded against. The passage of the law mentioned above will give them authority, it is be- lieved, to remedy all existing defects. There are several other bills of minor im- Portance which the Commissioners will urge at the next session of Congress. Letting Contracts. There was a warm colloquy this morning in Commissioner Truesdell’s private office between the Commissioner and Mr. A. B. Burns. It appears that several days azo Mr. Burns was awarded a contract. for erect- ing a fire escape on the Homeopathic Hos- pital, it being stipulated that the work was to be done by C. B. Albre & Co. The inspect- or of fire escapes learned that the work was not being done by the Albre company, and he promptly reported the matter to the Com- missioners. The Commissioners promptly summoned Mr. Burns before them, and he arpeared this morning to explain ‘his con- nection with the case. It appears that Mr. Bufns obtains con- tracts for such work, and receives a com- mission therefor from the firm that does the work. What the authorities wanted to know was what right Burns had to sublet the contract to other than the pariies named in the contract. Mr. Burns explain. ed that he had orlginally intended to have Albre & Co. do the work, but the firm re- fused unless given a contract on another building. This meant a loss to Mr. Burns and he turned the matter over to P. Rie- seck without informing the Commissioners. The Commissioners insist that the original contract be carried out, and that Albre & Co. do the work as per contract. Bogus Inspectors. The new health regulations governing the milk supply of the city stipulate before a license or permit is granted to a dairyman to bring milk Into the District, that a vet- erinarian must certify to the condition of his cattle and cleanliness of his dairy. Today the health department was in- formed that unauthorized persons are go- ing through Maryland and _ Virginia, claiming to represent the department and stating that they have been sent to inspect the dairy farms, etc., and demanding a fee of $5 for such inspection. Such persons are impostors, Health Officer Woodward states, adding that there is no charge for any inspection by the health department, and, further, that there are no inspectors out making inspections for the District out- side of the city. Another Party. A new engincering party has been formed under the provisions of the highway act and will go to work immediately. The appointments have all been made and are as follows: C. E. Petx, transitman; Thomas J. Fisher, jr., chainman, and D. C. Annan, rodsman. It was W. R. Campbell and not W. D. Campbell who has applied for a license to keep a saloon in Anacostia. — ALMOST A COLLISION, Narrow Escape From an Accident at 14th Street and New York Avenue. A railroad collision was narrowly averted this morning, and, from the opinion of pas- sengers on the Metropolitan car coming south and the Columbia car going east at 14th street ard New York avenue, it was more the result of good luck than of good management. Both cars were moving along at the ugual rate of speed, and when the crossing was nearly reached the speed of neither car was checked. The result was that the horses, by being jerked hastily to one side, were saved from being crushed against the cable car. By applying the brakes vigorously the progress of the Metro- politan car was checked sufficiently to allow the cable car to proceed, which it did. It is claimed that the Columbia motorman should have stopped his car before reaching the crossing, as, owing to the slippery tracks and the down grade, it was difficult to brake the Metropolitan car. However that may be, the passengers on both cars believe that perhaps after a real accident has occurred at this crossing proper regulations will be enforced by the respective companies. ——— THANKING EVERYBODY. Papers Read at the Ornithologists’ Union Today. The last day of the thirteenth annual congress of the American Ornithologists’ Union opered this morning at 11 o'clock in the lecture room of the National Museum, and among the first business transacted was the passage of a resolution extending the thanks of the union to the board of re- gents of the Smithsonian Institution for the use of the lecture room. Thanks were also formally expressed by the visiting members to the local members for the en- tertainment ard courteous treatment fur- nished. The papers read and discussed at the morning session were: “On the Standing of Ardetta Neoxena,” by Frank M. Chapman; What Constitutes Publication,” by J. A’ Allen, and “The Value of the Tongue in the Classitication of Birds,” by F. A. Lu- cas. Each of the papers was discussed gen- erally by the members present. The customary recess of one hour fdr luncheon was taken at 1 o'clock, after which Mr. William Palmer read an able essay on “A Critique on Trinomial Incon- ‘This was followed by an un- usually interesting exhibition of lantern ides of birds by Mr. Palmer.

THE MATTER FOLLY DISCUSSED rict Com:nissioners are| Mr. Ordwav Says the Company Will Help the Farmers. SOME ACTS OF CONGRESS —EE—EE A meeting of those produce dealers who lave been ordered by the District Com- missioners to remove from their present stands on the ncrth side of B street at the Center market was held this afternoon in the market building. Mr. George G. Curtis of Prince George’s county, Md., presided and Mr. George V. White of Twining City, D. C., was secretary. Mr. Curtis said it would be a very great hardship if the order is enforced. He for one, he said, will be forced out of the busi- ness, as it would be impossible for him to stand the storms of winter or the heat of summer. Commissioners Responsible. Mr. B. Bryan of Anacostia, D. C., said: “If this order of the Commissioners is en- forced, I believe it will result in deaths be- fore the winter is over, and that if that shall be so they will be responsible before God. The order is inhuman and cruel, and must not be carried out before Congress has appropriated to build a proper place those whom it is proposed to eject. “I made an appeal | similar to what I have here said,” he said, “to the Commissioners, and got a reply in writing that nothing looking to a revocation of the order could be one." Mr. Curtis said he had had interviews with a number of people who purchase at the market, and he had found them to be unanimously in favor of allowing the coun- try people to remain where they have been for so many years past. A Board of Public Works Agreement. Mr. N. G. Ordway, president of the market company, said that many of those in present or those who preceded them business have occupied their pr stands for fifty years, and the privile; occupying them as they exist at this time was in pursuance of an agre beard of public works. Gen. that whe he was an officer of the Hou of Representatives he was approached by man who now lives in Washington, and that the latter demanded in ie stock of the market company, because, a he alleged, he and his friends nad hi iped to get Congress puss the bill granting the charter. The demand was, Mr. Ordway said, ‘re- fused, and since that time various parties have been doing all they could to hamper the operations of the eumpany. Mr. Ordway Talks. Mr. Ordway explained in detail how the money required to build the market w raised. It was found, he said, that the first ene hundred thousand dollars could not be secured in Washington, and it was raised by Senator Chandler and kimself in Boston. Mr. Ordway then related the experience the market company has had with Con- gress. Two years ago enough charges against it were filed a page of paper, but Representatives to fill a page of paper, but all were proven to be untrue without diffi- culty, and the replies of the company were ‘so satisfactory that the charges were laid ree the table as unworthy of consider ticn. The Order Unauthorized. “The market company i: id he, “‘pay- ing $18,000 annually to the District for the privilege of doing business here, and he claimed that the Commissioners had no right to issue the objectionable order “The hay market,” he said, tablished on B street between 10th and 12th streets by Congress as a place where farm- ers could sell the'r hay, oats, etc., at whole- sale without being ' subjected to any charges. “The market company says today: ‘Your rights shall be protected, and if there ts no way left to secure your rights and our rights settled, let us go to Congress.’ The Commissioners of the District are gentle- men, who, on account of the multiplicity of their duties, are not able to hear either you or the market company at all times, but I be- lieve that the question can, if they and we exhibit a spirit of fairn be satisfactorily adjusted, and that they will not attempt to push you up to where they have ordered you to go, and which will be at the risk of sacrificing life. Resolutions Adopted. Mr. B. Bryan offered a resoltition, which was adopted, protesting against the action of the Commissioners, and declaring that if carried out before another place is provided for them to go to such conduct would be in- human and cruel. Mr. Washington Bonifant of Montgomery county, Md. presented a series of preambles anda resolution. The preambles set forth, among other things, that (he laws and ordi- ances of the city of Washington have for nearly one hundred years allowed the farm- ers and actual producers to stand upon the sidewalks and market their own products around the various markets in the city. The resolution provided for a petition to allow the District of Columbia to be rep- resented in the House of Rep: by a delegate, but this was laid on table for further corsideration. The mass meeting then adjourned until Saturday at 2 p.m. The Commissioners’ Attitude. It would seem from the attitude of the Ccmmissioners in their controversy with the Center market that they proposed to carry out their original idea of moving the farmers from the north side of B street. A reporter of The Star called Major Pow- ell’s attention to the order of the market company, printed in yesterday's Star, to the effect that rather than inconvenience the patrons of the market the company hereafter will not insist upon the payment of fees from the farmers who occupy the rcrth side of B street between 7th and 9th streets. Major Powell, however, was of the opinion that this concession cn'the part of the market had not helped matters at all. The Commissioners had decided to move the farmers to the wholesale market square, and the order would be enforced. The Commissioners, he said, did not recoz- nize any difference between. retailers and wholesalers, and he was surprised to hear that any special rights should be claimed by those who retail their products. The cigarmakers of the city, he said, had equal right to demand of the Commission- ers that a public space be set aside for them to dispose of their goods. The Com- missioners, he reiterated, had decided to move the farmers from'B street. They. would have ihe whole winter to protit by the experience of the move, and next spring if any changes were necessary they could be made. It was suggested by The Star reporter that many opposed the moving of the farm- ers because it would inconvenience the citi- zens who patrenized them. Maj. Powell was, however, of the opinion that very few of the ladies of Washing:on bought from the farmers and would be inconvenienced by the order. They bought most of their goods, he said, from the market stores and huckster It was claimed by the market company that the fee charged the farmers for the privilege of standing on the north side of 13 street between 7th and 9th streets was for the purpose of defraying the expense of the shed erected for their sheiter, and the cost of cleaning the street and granting them police protection. Superintendent McKenzie of the strect cleaning department, when asked what, if the anything, the market company had done toward keeying the strect clean, said he did not know that the com itself had any- thing to do with the cleaning. His depart- ment cleaned the street once a week—on Sat- urday night. During the other days in the week the street was individually cleansd by some one, and he was under the impression that the farmers had the work to do them- selves. He knew that a private individual removed the refuse gratis, under authority from the Commissioners. The arguments on the temporary restrain- ing order taken out by the mark=t company on the Commissioners will be heard tomor- row. FOR MR.

Olmsteati, not resumed today until 1 o'clock this ternoon, that one of the jurors might attgnd this morning the funeral of a relative... _The first witness ‘called today was Miss Ada Ball, the sister of Mrs. Webb's former husband, who testified on behalf of Mr. Olmstead, the sole beneficiary under his wife's will, that the relations existing be- tween Mr. and Mrs. Olmstead were of an affectionate and kind character. Mrs. Olm- stead seemed to feel very happy and se- cure in the affection of her husband, be- cause of the great respect he showed for the memory of his first wife. Mrs. Olmstead once told her that unless her mother and sister showed more spect for Mr. Olmstead she would cea: visiting them. Mrs. Glmsteal once com- plained that Mrs. Webb had returned a ring which she had sent at Christmas, ISS#, to her little niec Mrs. Oimstead's mind about the time the will was made, said the witness, was perfectly clear. The last time she saw Mrs. Olmstead. said Miss Rall, was about three weoks be- fore her death, fectly clear. Miss Ball was cro: and her mind was still per- samined by Mr. R. Perry, who read a summary of her imony on the first trial of the , and asked her if she testified on the former trial as to any statements made by Mrs. Olm- stead to her. Mr. Henry i. Davis objected claiming that the question was not fair t the witness, and that the testimony gives by her at the first trial should be intro. cuced. -iudge Bradley sustained the objection Perry noting an exception, and after Miss Ball had identified her testimony ke and offered it on behalf of Mr Webb, Miss Ball stated it did not contain any erence to the statement made to her Mrs. Olms 5 KNIGHTS IN COUNCIL. ex Refuse to Cut Down The Del The general assembly of the Knights of Labor resumed its deliberations this morn- ing in its snug quarters in Mechanics’ Hali and with closed doors proceeded to the practical work of the convention.

ADVANCE FOLLOWS «=A DECLINE Rise in the Rate of Foreign Ex- change. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, November 14.—Lower prices in London had the effect of temporarily depressing local stock values during the in- itial trading this morning, but later opera- tions were almost uniformly at a higher level. The market for foreign exchange reflected an advance of dd per cent over yesterday’s rates, and a” ral outflow of gold is again imminent. The supply of all classes of commercial drawings is small and totally inadeqvate to the needs of re- mitters. In view of this condition, the reg- ular drawers of exchange will be forced to resort to the unpopular expedient of for- warding coin to meet obligations. Heretofore the outflow has not originated in the needs of the regular foreign bankers, but present circumstances are likely to force them into the movement unless our exports increase materialiy within the next few days. The advance in the market, in view of this unpromising outlook, is gen- erally regarded as a professional movement of only temporary continuance. "The advancing tendency originally pro- duced by the liquidation of short contracts has attracted moderate buying by commis- sion houses, but there is nothing so radical- iy changed in market conditions as to war- mt the reaction in sentiment, unless the original movement was entirely unwar- ranted. The condition of the country as judge hy railroad earnings is decidedly discoui ing to the believers in lower prices, but ¢ continued exce: of federal expendi- tures r receipts establishes an equilib- rium in this narticular. The latter condi- tion will undoubtedly ne remecied and the former will be perpetuated in consequence and conservative buying will eventually re- tect the more satisfactory results. Manhattan was again the feature of the ilroad list, a sharp decline of 1 1-S per ‘nt following liberal selling early in the day, but subsequent trading for both ac- counts forced a fractional gain from the opening level. The Grangers, Burlington and Rock Island in particular, were active at substantial gains. The street Is evidently disposed to favor this group when the long account is being provided for. The industrial Issues were active and Ingher, as the result of room ‘trading. Sugar was again advanced, presumably to reduce still further the following of small operators, whose presence might defeat the main scheme at a critical period later on. Chicago Gas and Tennessee Coal and Iron ‘ere marked up under operations for both accounts, but were indifferently supported at_the advance. The trading of the last hour was irre: Jar, but in many instances fractionally un- der the best. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Gould, who is employed as a candy maker by the firm of Means & Gardner of that place. Speaking of Mr. Gould, his friend, Mr. E. W. Mitchell, recently said) “T have known him for some years, and until vety lately I always heard him complaining about his food distressing him, and feeling more or less badly about all the time. His work naturally keeps him confined a good deal, and he has very little chance for exercise. Lately, having heard less complaint, I thought I would call and see to what he credited his improvement. He said to me,” said Mr. Mitchell, “for years I have been troubled with indigestion and dyspepsia. At times would be dizzy and my head very dull, especially after eating. Then would have distress and palpitation, caused by gas in my stomach from food fermenting. The only thing I could find that would give me relief was ‘soda, and from that I got no lasting benefit, but now 1 have struck it rich. My employer brought me a a package of Ripans Tabules from Boston. They are the one thing that will fix you up all right. I am feeling spiendid now, and I recommend them to you and all for stomach trouble.’” Tore Ripans Tabules are sold by druggists, or by maf if the price (50 cents a box) ts sent to the Cuemical Compans, No. 10 Spruce st., New York.
