Senor Dupuy DeLome, the Spanish min- ister, has received a cablegram from Gen. Marin at Havana as follows: “The day before yesterday General Luque the forces of Maceo ia Tira-dlo, 1 Rio.

When a boom of logs is floating down a river, all goes well until one single log strikes something and sticks. Then there’s a “jam "'—and troubie. It is just so in the progress of food through the diges- tive organs. Everything well till something sticks. Then the process of digestion stops. That's indigestion. Un- less the impediment is removed, poison- ous putrid matter begins te accumulate. There's a “jam —constipation, and trouble. Sick Headache, biliousness, sleeplessness, vertigo, heartburn, loss of appetite—these are some of the symp- toms. Just a little help at the r- ance of the first one would end the trouble. Nature is a hard worker, but she needs assistance if too much be put upon her. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets offer the best and simplest method for furnishin; this assistance. They are prompt aad very effective in their action, but they are not strong nor severe. They cause no violent wrench of the system. They go right to the “log” that is fast and Joosen it.

The Spanish troops cap- tured the position, killing twelve and cap- turing horses and saddles. The minister also received the follow- ing cable message from the foreizn office at Madrid: “Major Sedano defeated, on the 18th, the bands of Vidal and Sanchez at the Natalic pla tion. Colonel Garzon defeated, in the Province of Matanzas, the rebel chief La- cret, occupying his encampment. Gomez is retreating to the east. ul Aldecoa defeated, in Canasi, Matanzas, the bands of cavairy, taking their encampment and capturing arms and horses. The main body of the insurgents in Havana province are retiring toward Matanzas.” Report of Cepero’s Exeention Denicd. According to the New York Herald's Ha- yana correspondent, Cepero has not been shot. He is confined in Morro Castle, will be tried by the civil, not the military juris- diction. He owes his good fortune largely to Consul General Williams. The correspondent saw him last evening. “Tell my friends in America,” he said, “that [am an American citizen, and that I believe I will be tried justly. The interview was had at a distance of two paces and in the presence of a file of armed soldiers. Cepero’s wife and a rela- tive were also present. The final legal for- malities are not concluded as yet, but the consul general called at the palace in the afterncon, and unofficial assurance was given that Cepero would receive a civil trial. 2’ Ridiculous Reports. The Herald’s Havara dispatch, sent last night, says: Ridiculous reports of the big rebel defeats around Pinar del Rio are be- ing given out from military head- quarters in order to counteract unofiicial news and to encourage the Spanish resi- dents. A detachment of Gomez's rebel force last night made another unsuccessful attack upon Guanabacoa, just across the bay from Havana. They were repulsed by the Span- ish volunteers upon the outskirts of the town. Desuliory skirmish firing was, how- ever, kept up throughout the night. Go- mez yesterday burned the suburban village of Calvario, three miles beyond Regia, and siept last night with three thousand men in the town of Santa Marfa del Rosario, six miles southeast of Guanabacoa. Prepared to Attnck the Rebels. ‘The government had a thousand men in Jesus del Monte this morning, preparing to march to attack the rebel forces, and a bat- tle may be expected tomorrow. Pando leads the Spanish column in person. An Alquisar correspondent of La Discussion tells of the execution of a rebel lieutenant upon the public square by Gen. Gomez’s order while the insurgent army occupied the town, on Saturday last. Te lieutenant had taken sx linen shirts from a local store by force and refused to pay for them, for which he ptly court-martialed by the Cuban -chief. The execution was wit- d by thousands of citizens, who che=r- ed Gomez for the example given. Banderas, with three hundred men, has reached the vicinity of Cienfuegos upon his return march from Havana province and established his headquarters in the Siguan- ca mountains of Santa Clara. Banderas has appointed Rogerio Sastillo to command the insurgent forces around the Cienfuegos suburbs pending the recovery of Col. Kego, who is still suffering from wounds received some time ago in the fight at Maltimo. Sensational rumors are current in Cuban circles. One is to the effect that a con- splracy has been hatched to assassinate Gen. Weyler upon his arrival in Havana. weeeeveee WITH THE : CROWDS! | $50,000 WORTH OF FINE FURNITURE At Cost And on Credit!: Our great mid-winter clearing sale is now at its height.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE (Continued from First Page.) haye been crowned with success in those three states. ¢ Miss Shaw spoke at some length of thi object and mature of the woman’s congress at San Francisco, which she characterized as in some respects the most interesting and successful she had ever attended. The subject for the consideration of the con- gress was “The Home,” but there was not a single phase of the subject from the edu- cation of children to house decoration that did not hinge upon woman suffrage, and the result was that the movement was given a tremendous impetus in California. ‘fhis year the subject is “Women in Public Life,” and there will be little else than suffrage on the program. Ina witty and characteristic manner Miss Shaw described the efforts that were made last summer in San Francisco to secure a Proper place for women in the Fourth of July celebration. At first the men on the committees in charge of the arrangements for the day objected strongiy to women taking any share in the celebration beyond buttering sandwiches and filling bags with pep-corn for the children. In the end, how- ever, the women won the day, and among the speakers invited to address the im- mense concourse was Miss Shaw herself. Miss Anthony and Miss Shaw rode in a flower-decked carriage immediately behind that of the mayor, while Miss Shaw was decorated with a badge quite as big as that cf any male orator. In conclusion, Miss Shaw said that the Prospect of the suffrage movement in Calt- fornia is particularly bright. She announc- ed that she intended to go to California again this spring to take an active part in the campaign for the wished-for amend- ment. “Will the amendment be carried?” asked Mizs Shaw. “It will if we can get enough votes, aid that is just what we are going out to accomplish.” The Woman’s Bible. In the absence of Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery, her report as recording secretary of the association was read by Isabel Howland, the recording secretary of the New York state association. It cccasioned a pretty lively debate, especially that part of it which referred to the so-called Woman's Bible. In the course of her report Mrs. Avery said: “The siccess of our cause in Utah dem- onstrates clearly the advisability of se- curing the aid of political parties, through planks in their respective platforms. This having been geen by the women of Utah, they did not wait to do their work after everything had been decided by the party leaders, as has too often been the case in states where we have had state amendment campaigns. With non-partisan impartiality they seeured from republican, democratic and populist parties the assurance of the support of the rank and file of their mem bers to a constitution containing a guaran- tee of full suffrage for the women citizens of their commonwealth, after which effort en the women’s part they could weli sit by and serenely watch the course of events with the assurance that thetr enfranchis2- ment was won. We now have six Senators and Representatives from three states on tke floor of Congress, all of whom stand there with an ever-present sense that an important part of their ‘constituents’ are of the female sex. “A pleasant sign of the growth of public sentiment in favor of woman suffrage was the magnificent reception accorded to our president, Susan B. Anthony, and our vice president-at-large, Rev. Anna H. Shaw, in California last spring, when they went there as delegates to the Pacific Coast Woman's Congress Association. This body of women is far from being a suffrage meeting, yet they seated Miss Anthony In a chair made entirely of flo listered with rapt atten- tion to her every word throughout their week’s deliberations upon ‘The Home,’ and could not do or say_enough in honor and praise of Rey. Anna Shaw for going out to them and aiding in their councils with her magnificent gift of oratory. They secured én invitation for Miss Shaw to speak at the great Fourth of July celebration in San Francisco and in every way showed their high appreciation of these two leaders in cur work. After the woman's congress Miss Anthony and Rev. Shaw made what was truly ‘a triumphal march’ from one end cf. the state to the other, and finally returned eazt with innumerable invitations unfilled and with promises to return to the golden gete at ro distant date. “During the latter part of the year the work has been in several directions much Findered by the general misconception of the relation of the so-called ‘Woman's Bible’ to our association. As an organization we rave been held responsible for the action of | an individual (an action which many of our members, far from sympathizing with, feel to be unwise), in issuing a volume with a pretentidus title, covering a jumble of com- ment (not translation, as the title would in- dicate), without cither scholarship or liter- ary value, set forth in a spirit which is neither reverent nor inqviring. If the or- ganization were not ir so many quarters held responsible for this work, I should feel it out of place to mention it here, but | I should be untrue to my duties as secre- tary of this association did I fail to report the fact that our work is being damaged, and J recommend that we take some action by resolution to show that the association is not responsible for the individual actions of sny of its officers when aeting unofficially and as an individual simply.” A Lively Discussion. In order to properly bring the matter before the meeting, Mrs. C. B. Colby of this city moved the adoption cf the report with the exception of that part which refers to the Women’s Bible. This launched a d:scussion rather livelier than {s usval in a suffrage convention. Mrs. Lillie Devereux Plake championed the cause of Mrs. Stanton’s book in a very earnest specch, in which she said th: much of tke criticism of the Woman's Bib arose from the densest igncrance. “Now, for example,” said Mrs. Blake, “let's see how much we know about it. Let every woman who has read the book hold up her right hand.” Eight hands in all went up. “We are a nice body to pass criticism on a matter of this sort, now, aren’t we?” said Mrs. Blake in a caustic manner. Several brief addresses were made from the floor, in which the book was handled pretty roughly. Mrs. Upton moved that the whole report be laid upon the table. s Authony, always ready to pour oil on troubled waters, said that if the asso- ciation should take to criticising and re- pudiating the views of irdividual members it would have very little time left to do anything else. “Scarcely a day goes ty,” she said, “but I see semething in books or newspapers written or said by members of this associa- tion that I consider injudicicus, and I am always doing and saying things that some of you don’t like. But let’s not stop to find fault now.” The Report Tabled. On a rising vote the motion to table the whole report was carried—59 to 16. The morning segsion then adjourned at 12:30 o'clock. Convention Notes. Miss Anthony is here, red shawl and all. Tt doesn’t look as bright as it used to, and perhaps it has mellowed with age, but it is the same red shawl that covered Miss An- thony’s shoulders when they were twenty years younger, and she flings it around her with all the grace of a Spanish seno- rita. Parliamentary rules are something that women simply will not be bound by, and even so good a parliamentarian as Miss Anthony let the wemen of the convention debate a motion to table a part of the re- cording secretary’s report for fifteen min- utes this morning. Four courageous men ventured into the convention, and one of them sat with the delegation from Montana. When the sterm broke over the condemnation of the sc-called “‘Woman’s Bible,” he evidently thought of the riot in the Daughters of the Revolution convention in New York, and moved to adjourn, but they didn’t pay any attention to him. For twenty-five years the flag of the Na- tional American Suffrage Association bore but one single star. Two years ago two stars illumined the vast expanse of blue, and Colorado was added to Wyoming. Utah made the-assoctation a present of a handsome flag, with the new star added, last year, and this year the great big, bright new flag that hangs above Miss <Anthony’s head has three golden stars— one for young Utah. They are mightily proud of it, and will celebrate the advent of the “Star in Bethlehem” next Monday night, when. the new from Utah delegates to the con- vention is Miss Rose Lumpkin of Hamp- ton, Va. She is a colored woman, but thor- oughly up to date. She is president of the King’s Daughters of Hampton, and hon- orary president Colored Woman's Municipal Leagu few York city. “Twenty-five years of work and one state was won, in two years twb had come into the fold, and in one year another was added. Now, if we add one a year from this on—” ¢be Mrs. Upton smiles, and rushes off to attend to some one of her numerous duties. 7 Hep whole soul is in the work. i Mr. Mondell of Wyoming is one of the ardent members Df Congress on whom the women are depending for aid, and they will also get materl@ support from Judge Case Broderick of Kansas, who is on the judiciary commitéee,and whose daughters are greatly interested in the work. Col. Richard Whiting rail of Kansas ts also a warm friend of the suffrage cause. “Wouldn’t Miss Anthony look funny in crimps?” asked a‘gid@y visiting girl of her friend, and then they laughed till Miss An- thony rapped for order. Miss Anthony has such beautiful hair that it would be a sin to ruin it with hot irons cr crimping pins. Miss Anthony always speaks of the con- vention delegates as “giris,” and ‘this morning added that she was one of the old girls now, when compared with Mrs. Car- rie Chapman Catt, and some of the newer members. The idea of the national council of wo- men, the splendid body of women that met in convention here last winter, was the outgrowth of the national suffrage conven- tion of 1838. Women can “kick” as well as men. In one of th> hotels last night two of the Gelegates were actually straightening the hafr of the bell boy, as they made out their bill of ccmplaints of the quarters to which they had been assigned, in language that was picturesque and convincing. Winedaaghsis Reception. The reception given yesterday by the ladies of Wimodaughsis, at their club house cn I street, in honor of Rey. Anna Howard Shaw, was the center of attraction for all the members of the Suffrage Association who were in town. Upward of a thousand invitations had been sent out, and the rooms of the club were crowded during the hours of the reception. The reception party included the president of the Wimodaugh- sis, Mrs. Eradley; Miss Shaw, Miss Emily Howland, Miss Susan B. Anthony, Mrs. Mary L.

Many Local Notes of Interest From Across Rock Creek—Pleasant Social Affair. There was considerable excitement yes- terday afternoon shortly before 6 o'clock on 32d street, caused by an attempted murder, but, fortunately, owing to the bad aim of the would-be assassi®, the bullet flew wide of its mark. Edward Lane, a nineteen- year-old colored laborer, with a rather un- savory reputation, and Howard West, a white boy about the same age, were the participants. There has been bad feeling between the two over some past occurrence. Lane recently was beating a colored child, who was: subsequently sent to the reform school, and West attempted to prevent his brutality. Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock the two met on Prespect avenue, and without any warning the negro pulled out a revolver and fired at almost point- blank range, with no effect. Before he could pull the trigger again West sought safety in a near-by shop. After the shoot- ing Lane put the pistoi back in his pocket and walked up itzd street to N street, a large crowd following him, but none daring to seize hold of him. and Edwards, attracted by the sound of the shot, ran up to the street corner, and as soon as he caught sight of the uniforms Lane ran. He was pursued, but, running up an alley on Dumbarton avenue, he led the officers a merry chase over the back yard fences of most of the houses in the block bounded by 3ist, 32d and N streets and Dumbarton avenue. He was finally caught, lodged tightly between a fence and a woodshed. In his flight he hid the pistol under a box in a vacant lot, but it was found by Policeman Sullivan. <All the chambers were loaded except cne. Charges of assauit and battery with intent to kill and also of carrying concealed weapons were placed against him. A Call Declined. Since the resignation of the Rev. Mr. Falls, St. Alban’s Church, on Wisconsin avenue, just below the Woodley Lane road, has been without a spiritual head. The services have been conducted either by members of the congregation or by minis- ters who could be called in for temporary service. At a recent meeting of the vestry~ men it was unanimously decided to extend a call to the Rev. WilHam Tayloe Snyder, the assistent pastor of Ascension Church. Mr. Snyder after duly considering the call, declined it because he did not care to sever his connections with his present church because of extremely pleasant relations. His letter of declination was read at the last mecting of the vestry of the church, but so far the body has not agreed upon another minister to whom a call could be extended. Donkey Party. Miss Fannie Smith of Potomac and Pros- pect avenues gave a donkey party last evening to 2 number of friends. The first prize was won by Mr. Allie Spates, while’ Miss Smith secured the consolation prize. During the course of the evening a num- ber of games were played, interspersed with the serving of refreshments. Among those preseat were Miss Ella Thomas, Miss Ingley, Miss Daisy Foster, Misses Clara and Anna Rapp, Misses Bessie and Nora Snyder of Oakton, Md., Messrs. Arthur Trunnell, Harry Clements, Joseph Bur- rows, James Cole, Lester Moore, Albert Spates, Morehead, Harmon, Stickle, Wm. Spates, Robert Huntington and George Parkhurst. Dancing was also a part of the evening’s enjoyment. Frank Gowan and Isaac Burton, who had trouble on the street several days ago, when Burton struck Gowan, figured in a Pelice Court trial yesterday. Burton was charged with assaulting Gowan, Judge Mil- ler listened to the evidence of several wit. resses and found that Burton had no ex- cuse for striking Gowan. He was fined $, which he paid.

Senator Dubois Reviews the Various Clam- ors for Currency. The Issue Between the Populists and the Western Silver Men Dis- tinctly Outliaed. Senator Dubois in his speech before the Senate today said that no one in the Sen- ate expects or believes that anything will be accomplished at this session of Con- gress, so far as financial or tariff legisla- tion is concerned. There is more politics than anything else in the seeming attempt to enact legislation on elther of these sub- jects. The President and Secretary of the Treasury have informed the Congress and country in written communications what their views are and what should be done in the way of legislation relating to finances. The House of Representatives, very largely republican, in part dnswer, bas passed a bond bill, which in no sense fully Mects the monetary suggestions of the President. The House of Representatives has also passed a tariff bill in order to raise sufficient money to carry on the af- fairs ef the government and pay its cur- rent expenses. The President and Sec-, retary of the Treasury insist that a new tariff bill is not needed; that there is an abundance of money with which to pay the everyday expenses of conducting our. affairs. The Senate committee, which has these bills in charge, has substituted a bill for the free and unlimited coinage cf silver for the bond bill of the House and has not yet passed upon the tariff bill. “The House of Representatives,” he said, “believes with the President in main- taining the single gold standard, but there parts company with him. The House ts committed to, and fully indorses, the doc- not for the sake of revenue, count of Its belief that these. industries should be adequately protected by legis- lation against foreign competitors. “The Senate does not agree with the Fresident on either question, nor does it agree with the House of Representatives on either.” Replying to the Populists. The Senator answered the populist com- plaint that the silver men of both parties had refused to join them. ‘The Senate,” he said, “has been organized on silver lines, plainly and distinctly, and it could not have been organized on any other lines, because a majority of the Senate, outside of the populist vote, is clearly and distinctly in favor of silver. “The Senate does not depend, fortunately, on the populist vote for its silver strength. It is not necessary, luckily,- in order to gain votes for silver. that we indorse pop- ulistic ideas in general. The populicts in the Senate will vote for the bill under consideration, and for any free coinage bill, and true silver men, regardless of party, are pleased to receive their votes. They do not vote for the unlimited coinage of silver, however, because they believe that silver should be basic money. “They want more money. They do not believe in basic money of-—Mltimate redemp- tion. Their theory is that the govern- ment by its fiat can make money, and that it should do so, the amount of the money thus created to depend on the will of the people as expressed by its repre- sentatives in Congress. The hard-mone’ men, who constitute a majority in t chamber—this majority made up of demo- crats and republicans—believe that gold and silver should form the basis of our currency and that all forms of money should rest on those two metals, and that they should be the money of ultimate redemption. Irredecmable Paper. He referred to the proposition voted for by the populists, directing the Secretary of the Treasury to print $250,000,000 of paper money. “If you can issue $250,000,000 of irredecem- able paper money today,” he said, “you can issue $250,000,000 more tomorrow, and so on without iimit. “Nothing could more clearly demonstrate the views of the populist party on the money question than this amendment, de- bate, and vote. It is strictly in accord with their nationai platform. It may be that some day both gold and silver will of necessity be discarded as basic money, be- cause there will not be sufficient of both metals to meet the demands of business and population, and that the governments will furnish paper money, for money uses, such money based solely on the credit of the government.” : The Senator further alleged that silver re- publicans favored protection generally, in- cluding so-called raw materials, and par- ticularly lead, wool and lumber, besides various products of the farm, plantation ard ranch. That he opposed the populist scheme for government ownership of railroads for many reasons; first, the purchase of the railroad property would incur an enormows public debt to be paid by the people: sec- ond, that as government property, the rail- roads would be exempt from taxation, to the great hardship of many sparsely set- tied western counties, where at present rail- read companies paid from one-fifth to one- half of all county expenses. He pronounced absurd the expectation that England would ever voluntarily join with us in restoring silver. “There is plainly something wrong in this country,” he said, “so fruitful in resources and opportunities, and so filled with intelli- gent, law-abiding and industrious people. Business is slack, employment at fair wages, or at any wages at all, hard to get. Factories and mines are either idle cr working at much less than their full capaci- ty, while the great agricultural classes re- ceive scarcely enough for their produce to pay the running expenses of their farms and plantations. There is no prosperity among the toilers, notwithstanding the statement made now and then that this or that factory or industry has commenced operations ‘with an increased number of |, employes and increased wages. “An investigation of each isolated case reported will show, in nearly every in- stance, that the increase has been from no employes to a few, and from very low wages to an amount which hardly affords a living. Since silver was demonetized, the Condition of affairs has been growing stead- lly worse, and the prices of everything steadily falling. Various devices have been resorted to to stop this persistently declin- ing market, bug to no avail.” Sitver Senators. Referring to the charge that the western silver states have two Senators and are en- abled to pass free coinage bills, he said that the question ef representation was fought out when the Constitution was framed. “The conclusion finaly reached,” he said, “was that each state have two Senators, and the prime reason was that the great and small states might meet on equal terms here; that the brutality of mighty majori- ties might be checked and justice done to the minorities; that the states might meet on common ground in this body, and from each cther obtain justice for all. “Notwithstanding this, I read in the press of the east almost every day that the region I represent is but a ‘pocket borough,’ not entitled to consideration at your hands, and the inference is that it is peopled by a class of men who are a perpetual shock to the re- finea ard virtuous east. California, Mon- tana, Colorado and all the mining states represented by silver advocates here are simik rly attacked, and the personal and private characters of Senators representing those states is most wantonly and viciously assailed. No one escapes. g “I could read extracts by the hour, em- bracing direct attacks on the private char- acter of every silver advocate on this floor, but they are so vile that I do not care to dignify them by reproduction in the Record. The meanest and most vindictive of these bewspepers are published in New York city, where for four-score years the worst ele- ments of our foreign immigration have found a lodgment and where there have been more scandals in connection with :se:r city government and eiections than in any other epet in our country. “Idaho and the west need np defense ai my hends; much less is there any need for its representatives to explain their actions to the obsequious press of New York city. If our states are proper subjects for abuse, however, because they have two Senators each, with but a small population, as com- pared with New York or Pennsylvania, why should not sme of the eastern states, re; resented by gold advocates, be proper ob jects for attack also. Our mining states, these ‘rotton borough’ states, have immense areas, are boundless in their resources and are increasing in population in a marvelous manner.” The Personal Side Of George Washington Not the General nor President, but the lover, the man, the husband and neigh- bor. -Three of such articles by General A.
