FRIENDS’ MEETING (ORTHOD( day rooms of ¥ \) EVERY FIRST M. CA, 1425 elcome A Letter From Prince Kropotkin to The London Times Tracing Its Origin. From the New York Tribune. ‘The correct text of the telegram which has been received at St. Petersburg con- cerning Nansen was as follows: “Irkutsk, January 31 (February —The contractor for Nansen, Kusnnareff, through the Kelymsk Iispravnik (chief of police), from Yakutsk to Kirensk, and htence by telegraph, informs the Eastern Review that Nansen has reach- ed the pole, has discovered land, and re- turns.”"—(Official messenger, February 2 (14); telegram of the Russian telegraphic agency. The paper Eastern Review (Vostochnoye Obozreniye) is a high-class weekly, pub- Kshed at Irkutsk. It was edited for’ many years by the late Yadrintseff, the Siberian explorer, and now by D. Klements, well known for his explorations in Mongolia, and active member of the East Siberian branch of the Russian Geographical So- ciety. The paper is always very well in- formed in geographical matters. ‘There being no direct telegraph communi- cation between Yakutsk and Irkutsk (the telegraph does not go beyond Vitimsix, which is at the junction of the Lena with} the Vitim), the news was sent by mail to Kirensk, a town on the way to, and 85 miles from, Irkutsk, whence it was tele- graphed to the Eastern Review. The dis- tance of 685 miles between Kirensk and under Irkutsk can be covered in winter, favorable circumstances, in no les five to six days; so that the Yakutsk mail, with which the news was sent to Kirensk, could Lot reach Irkutsk before February 6 (is): and, supposing that a letter was sent from Yakutsk with same mail, no fur- ther news could reach Irkutsk before that date. From Irkutsk it can be telegraphed in a few hours to London. ‘As to Kandakoff, a mistake as to his personality must have been made in the first telegram at Irkutsk.’ I see that the chief of the police of the Verkhoyansk dis- trict, to which Kelymsk belongs, is a Cos- sack officer, Stepan Lavrentievich Kanda- kcff. But ‘t1e Kandakoft through whom the n2ws has come from Kushnareff—we now learn from a telegram sent from Irkutsk on February 2 (14)—is not the above police officer, but “a councillor to the provincial government of Yakutsk and a member of the Yakutsk expedition.” This gives a much greater weight to the rews. ee RECENT BUTCHERY IN CUBA; Spaniards Siny Non-Combatants and Are Defented With 700 Loss. The latest mail from Cuba brings three letters from different sources confirming re- ports of the outrages printed in yesterday's Star and which are stated in the dispatch given below directed to Senator Morgan by Rafael Portundo, Cuban secretary of state, from Tampa, Fla.: “In Guatao, seven miles from the suburbs of Havana, on Saturday, February 22, at 2:30 o'clock, the insurgents retired frém the town. Three hundred Spanish soldiers im- mediately entered, murdering non-combat- ants to the number of twenty-two, among whom were some Spaniards, sick men, boys of fifteen years and an old man of seventy- two. The violation of young girls was prevented by the protest of the Spanish residents. Fifteen insurgent non-combat- ants have been taken to Marlando for trial. This news has been confirmed by living witnesses who have just arrived from the scene of the butchery.” The details of the battle at Palo Prieto, between Santa Clara and Placeta, about February 20, have arrived. The result fs considered more important than the battles of Peralejo, Collso or Lascacaos. Serafin Sanchez commanded the Cubans and Gen. Palanco the Spanish. The outcome was the greatest triumph the Cubans ever had, the Spanish loss being 700. his horse is now in the possession of Quin- tin Bandera. In the flight many Spaniards threw themselves into the river. Insurgents Close to Havana. The insurgents have destroyed the rail- rcad bridge at Bacuranao, not far from ‘Havana. It is reported that the insurgent leader Gill has burned the village of Ca- Gen. Weyler has been much an- noyed by acts of destruction committed in the neighborhood of Havana, and it is an- novneed that the government will take measures to severely punish as criminals and bandits those caught in the act of de- stroying property. A small band of insurgents surprised the storekeepers in the streets of Anglona de Merced, on the outskirts of Cardenas. | Gen. Palanco was severely wounded, and , 3:30 p.m. Seats.| Under threats the insurgents obtained ali the firearms and ammunition in the place. THE WEATHER FORECASTS BY FLAG SIGNALS. No. 1.

AFFAIRS IN.’ GEORGETOWN IN Quiet Hustling Among the West End Politicians. - Father Roccofort'’s Successor Arrives —Other Local Notes of General Interest to Al There is a good deal of quiet hustling be- ing done In Georgetown and more or less wire-pulling to secure the election from the primaries to the central convention of the democratic assembly of the District. Noth- ing las yet téen done, and no candidates have yet been anrounced, but some time next week candidates will undoubtedly come out with more or less backing. For the third district, which embraces all of that territcry west of 32d street, there is a Ukelihood of several candidates for the honor of representing the ward. Amonis those spoken ef are John Curtin and David Lyons. In the fourth precinct, embracing the area east of 32d street and west of Roc creek, no names have yet been given out with authority. John Hadley Doyle, who has been spoken of, has sent out a card de- clining to accept the henor. There was some talk of running William H. Manogue, €x-collector of customs for this port, but it is claimed he is not at present a resident of the precinct. Another man who has been mentioned for the place is John McKenley. The democrats of both precincts have been in consultation for some time and have held frequent consultations over the best means of arranging matters for the welfare cf the party in this section of the city. Mcet likely at the next joint m ing the representatives of the two wards will select their respective candidates and back them. In the county above Georgetown very little has been done in the way of secur- ing a candidate. There are a good many men willing to 1un if they think their chances are good, but so far no public declaration to run has been made. Gay Street Church. ‘The Gay Street Baptist Church contained an interested crowd Thursday night, brought together to witness the presenta- tion of a. program unfer the auspices of the Home and Foreign Miss‘onary Society.
