Eastern Insurgents Unite With the Forces of Gomez. Geneval Jose Maceo and his chief lieu- tenant, General Rabi, according to latest advices recelved from Cuba, have succeed- ed, after three weeks of forced marches, starting from the extreme eastern end of the Island of Cuba, in effecting a june tion with General Maximo Gomez's forces in the province of Matanzas, About January 16 Generals Maceo an? Rubi started on the march of 600 mi With them were 2,000 of the best me doing service for the cause of Cuba. Nearly all were mounted on good horses, but what was far more important to them was. the great quantity of arms and ammunition which they carried with them. Eyer since Generals Antonio Maceo and Gomez havc been keeping the Spaniards busy in Pina: del Rio and Havana, General Jose Maceo has been aiding expeditions to land in S. tlago de Cuba. The result has been th in the last two months there have been over 10,000 stands of arms and great qui tilies of ammuhition and some artillery landed. Arms for Gomez. To get these arms and ammunition General Gomez was by far the most im- portant object of this march. The Span- ards were well aware of the value of what General Maceo had with him, and they made every effort to capture his baggaze train. = At Puerto Principe he broke through the Spanish lines, and the Spanish officers di not know where he was until he had gon Rapidly he moved through the province of Puerto Principe. The people all alonz the line gave him an enthusiastie welcome, and many joined bis forces. His supply of arms enabled him to equip these men, a as nearly all these men had horses’ the: were organized as cavalry. Finally, by brillant marches and breaking through the Spanish lines, the leader reached Limonre in the province of Malayzas, on Monday, January 20, with a force of nearly 5,00) men, He could have taken twice that number with him, it is stated, had he not been re- quired to reserve the greater part of his supplies for General Gomez. The forces of General Gomez, simultaneous with the ar- rival of General Maceo in Matanzas, start- ed to meet him, and it is now stated they have met and united their armies. The march of 600 miles has been made in less than three weeks, and for a greater portion of the march the Spaniards have tried their utmost to harass the insurgents. The Fighting. During the march the greater part of the fighting has depended upon Génerai Rabi, General Maceo seeing that the bag- gage train got through safely. On more than a dozen occasions the Spaniards have announced that Generals Rabi and Maceo were separated, and only yesterday Min- ister Dupuy de Lome announced that Maceo Was not in Matanzas. General Rabi, ac- cording to Madrid advices, has been de- clared to have been wounded. The especial significance of the suce of General Maceo’s march fs the aid he will render General Gomez in equipping new re- cruits. At this time, when so many men are leaving the cities on account of the fear of General Weyler, the arms come in good season, as these refugees can at once be equipped. ——_+e-+____ A CLAIM OF BRICKLAYERS, A Labor Trouble Due to the Disap- pearance of a Subcontractor. There is considerable anxiety on the part of a number ef bricRlayers who were em- ployed on a row of houses on B street near Providence Hospital as to whether or not they are to be paid for two weeks’ work done on them, and for which it is said they have not received any money. The houses in question were being erect- ed by Mr. Charles H. Ruth, a well-known contractor, who had as a subcontractor a Mr. Hanback, who employed the brick- layers. Hanback, as stated in The Star at the time of its occurrence, disappeared several weeks ago, leaving, it is said, a large force of bricklayers unpaid. The lat- ter called in a body on the bondsman for Hanback, a prominent business man, and demanded that he make the amount good. While he admitted the men ought to be paid their wages, he said he could do noth- ing until the “aaa Proceedings in court were had, so that he would be legally pro- tected. The men were satisfied with this for the time being, but work was ndt resumed on the buildings and the owners asked Mr. Ruth to complete them. This the latter de- cided to do, and took up the contract where it had been abandoned by Hanback. The matter was in due course reported to the Bricklayers’ Union, and that body at its last meeting decided that the mcn employed by Hanback must be paid before work on the buildings could be further car- ried on, and ordered a boycott on the struc- tures until the men get their wages for that work. It is stated that Mr. Ruth has always Sioployed union men, and efforts are being made to adjust the difficulty. THE. -GRIDIRON CLUB Its Eleventh Annual Dinner Was Perhaps Its Greatest Success. Witty ai Eloquent Speeches and Lots of Fum — Many Distin- guished Guests Present. The eleventh annual dinner of the Grid- fron Club at the Arlington Saturday even- ing was perhaps the greatest success of all the dinners given by this famous organiza- tion. The decorations, the menu and the menu cards were all on a most elaborate scale, but these, attractive as they were, gonstituted but a small part of the reasons for the evening's enjoyment. There were speeches, witty and eloquent, which, were it not for the rule of the club that forbids their being made public, would be well worth recording in full, and there were all sorts of amusing incidents carried out by bright members of the club for the delectation of the guests. For instance, the Schomburgk line was discovered and car- ried into the banquet hall on the shoulders of two of the senior members of the club. When it was found that the line was an cnormous piece of silk elastic, such as is used by jadies to keep their hosiery in placé; and was consequently anything but a fixed boundary and capable of being twisted and stretched at pieasure, the point of the joke was evident, and fun ran fast and furious. There were “fake” dispatches from the Secretary of War and the Secre- tary of the Treasury anent the possibilities of war and the condition of the gold re- serve. New Members Initiated. Mr. William E. Annin was formally in- stalled as the president of the club, and two new members were initiated with amusing ceremonies, Mr. Frank A. Rich- ardson of the Baltimore Sun and Mr. Jas. Henry of the Pittsburg Dispatch. The ini- Uation took the form of a contest between two make-believe representatives-elect, and after a lot of funny speeches, which brought out the qualitications of the two candidates ahd their many defects, it was decided that Mr. Richardson was entitled to Mr. Henry's seat, and Mr. Henry to Mr. Richardson's. So the fun went until mid- uight broke up the party. Yet all was not mirth, for during the year two of the club's best beloved mem- bers have passed away, Mr. E. B. Wight and Mr. George H. Apperson. A tender and beautiful tribute to their memory was paid in a speech by Maor John M. Carson. The pleasure of the evening was greatly enhanced by the music, which was furnish- ed by the Gridiron Quartet, and solos by Mr. Herndon Morseil, Mr. J. H. Kaiser and Mr. A. J. Stofer. Mr. Chauncey M. Depew came on from New York to be present at the dinner, and it is only necessary to state that he was calied upon twice during the evening to speak as only “Chauncey de peach” can speak, in order that one may know that there was plenty of wit and eloquence. But he was not the only good speaker, for bright remarks were also had from Mr, Frank Thompson, Paymaster General Stanton, Gen. Nelson A. Miles, Rear Admiral Benham, Justice Brown, Postmaster General Wilson, Gen. Felix snus, H. H. Kohlisaat, F. Willis Rice, retary of the Fellowship Club of Chica- ex-Gov. Alexander R. Shepherd, Chas. Emory Smith, Col. William G. Moore, Sen- ator Thurston and others. Mr. Annin, the new president of the club, proved his capacity to take the front rank in the long line of brilliant and capable oc- cupants of the Gridiron chair. Among the bright incidents of the evening was the witty and felicitous address of the retiring sresident, Mr. Walter B: Stevens, intro- ing his successor, and the exceedingly appy response of Mr. Annin. vresent Organization and Member- ship. ‘The club’s present organization and mcm- bership is as follows: President, William E.

A beautiful and touching feature was the allusion to the death of Messrs. E. B. Wight and George H. Apperson. It was the universal opinion that this delicate matter was handled with good taste and judgment, and the sugcess with which it was carried out is attested by the deep impression made upon the assembly. The scheme was de- vised by the committee on entertainment, and its explanation and development signed to Major Carson. The details were known only to those charged with their mancgement. President Annin announced that the club scmetimes, in the midst of jollity, became serious. One of tho: rious periods now confronted the c! Major Carson was called out to give fillment. The introduction of the Lurgk line prepared the assembly for thing in the nature of a surprise, and when all the lights were suddenly extinguished expectation rose to a high point. The! were a few moments of silence, that was made the more impressive by contrast wita the scenes of jollity that had preceded. The few candelabra used to ornament the main tabie were permitted to burn, and these shed a dim religious light through the large hall that gave the tables the ap- pearance of being occupied by specters, and the long shadows reflected and the silence prevailing made a tableau that was beau- liful in its solemnity. Major Carson, in well-modulated tones, egan an oration by ni iron Club was formed for festivity and fun; for relaxation and recreation; for the promo- tion of good fellowship among men en- geged in the dail vities of life.” From this, in beautiful language, he led up to the announcement of the passing of Eu- gene B. rge H. Apperson, and paid them bute which was so touching and emotional that tears were forced from the eyes of the revelers. A piano accompaniment, arranged and played by Mr. Henry Xander in soft murmuring tenes, added to the effectiveness of the oration, which consumed only six minutes of time. At the east entrance to the banquet room arrangements were made for displaying, with the afd of a magic lantern, the por- traits of Wight and Apperson. These were thrown on the canvas at the appropriate place in Major Carson's speech. In concluding, Major Carson explained that the pictures displayed were made by Mr. Wight, and that at the time of his death he was engaged in a photographia work intended to be used at the dinnes on Saturday night. He further explained that at all club dinners Mr.Apperson’s voic¢ was always heard in club songs and choruse es, and that his favorite song, in the sing- ing of which he always led, was Then the Gridiron Quartet came tn slows ly and softiy with “Don’t You Hear Them Bells?” When one stanza had been thus rendered by the quartet the lights suddenly flashed up, the music sounded in loud tones, and taking up the chorus the entire club joined in, and it was given with the same vigor that marked it under the Icadership of Apperson. Thus the incident passed off without leaving any funereal effects, and calling out a generous round of applause. ee Petitioning for Prohibition. The Woman's Christian femperance Union of the District of Columbia has pre- pared a untque petition, which will be pre- sented to Congress tomorrow. The text of the petition is as follows: “We, the undersigned citizens of the*Dis- trict of Columbia, feeling and deeply de- ploring the curse of the liquor traffic, re- spectfully petition your honorable bodies to enact a law prohibiting the manuface tvre_ and sale of all alcoholic beverages in the District of Columbia.” The petition is signed by pastors and officers of churches only, yet the roll is large one, as the activity of the Woman Christian Temperance Union has zec the signatures of the pastors and officers of all of the Methodist, Baptist, Congre- gational, Friends, United Brethren and Christian churches in the capital city, For instance, the page devoted 10 the Cal- vary Baptist Church covers tess than one foot of space, but represents a membership of 1,300.
