The following advices come by wire from Havana: Information received at Havana reiterates the report that Lacret and Pedro Vasquez, the insurgent leaders, died from the wounds ed during the recent fighting Spanish troops. Brigadier General has landed at Varadero, near During the night of May 2, tt is an- nounced, the insurgents under Serafin Sanchez opened fire upon the outermost fort of Villa Clara, the enemy's guns being placed upon Capiro Hill. The fire was re- turned by the Spanish troops, and the in- surgents retreated. It is stated that a numerous band of in- surgents has crossed the frontier line of Puerto Principe, going in the direction of Matanzas. Gen, Gomez was last reported to be at Pedro Barba, in the district between Reme- dios and Sancti Spiritus, in the province of Santa Clara. It is said that Captain General Weyler will probably leave Havana for some point where important operations against the in- surgents are to be undertaken. The cruiser Reina Merced is being prepared for his ac- commodation. Gen. Pando will deliver the command of the province of Santa Clara to Gen. Pin, and will return to Spain May 10. Col. Pareja, in the province of Santa Clara, has been engaged with a band of insurgents, who left nineteen killed and one wounded man on the field. Col. Cano had a skirmish with the in- surgents under Morejon, in the district of Corral Falso, province of Matanzas. Eleven of the Cubans were killed, and the insur- gents retired with many wounded. Four soldiers were wounded. In this engagement the insurgent leader Cajisotea, who re- cently surrendered to the authorities, dis- tinguished himself fighting against’ the Cubans. The insurgents commanded by the well- known leader Mirabe! have been dispersed by a column of Spanish troops near Bainoa, province of Matanzas. The insur- gents lost forty killed and many wounded, and the troops captured a number of pris- oners. The insurgents have hanged three labor- ers near Alfonso Doce, in Matanzas. They have also destroyed a locomotive and cap- tured the engineer and the fireman near Las Canas. They derailed and capsized an exploring engine. The major of the battalion of San Quin- tin, whe was arrested for not assisting op- portunely to fight incendiaries at the village of Punta Brava, has been released by the military governor of Cano. Tne insurgents have burned the settle- ments of Carmen, near Havana, and of Batey and Sociedad, near Guira Melina, Admiral Navarro, upon whose coming the court-martial of the Competitor filibusters has been waiting, and Gen. Pando have arrived in Havana. Tuesday night the insurgents attacked the town of Cruces and burned fourteen of its houses. The garrison of the forts re- pelled the insurgents with great loss, so the official report says, and they ieft five killed in the streets, besides their leader, Romero. The troops had two killed and two wounded. The captair general's palace and the tlag- staff on the post office building were struck by lightning yesterday. No serious damage resulted. ee Second Trial for Murder. The eecond trial of Paul Genz for the murder of Clara Arnim, in Hoboken, on August 28, 1894, was begun in Jersey City before Judge Lippincott yesterday. The first trial resulted in a conviction and Genz was sentenced to be hanged, but the ver- dict was set aside on the ground that the charge of Judge Lippincott, in which he stated that irsanity must be proven beyond @ reasonable doubt, was not right. As cn the first trial, the defense in the - present one Is insanity. THE EVENING STAR, THUR WHY IT WAS DONE Act of Meroy to Old Seldiers and Their Wives and Families. Justification of the Law Requiring Pensioners to Pay a Notary and Mail Their Vouchers, Various communications have recently been published setting out the great hard- ships on pensioners likely to be caused by the act approved March 23, 1896, repealing the existing law authorizing the execution of pension vouchers before United States pension agents or their clerks desiznated for that purpose. At the first blush the ob- Jections urged may appear to be reasonably well taken, assuming the reasons set forth te be based on facts and the premises cor- rectly stated. But a careful inquiry shows otherwise. When this repeal legislation was first suggested,” sald a well-known pension offi- eal today, “It was submitted to and care- fully considered by benevolent people, who, in view of tke entire situation concerning the methods of Pension payments and in- vestigation of the data of the pension office, gave it their unqualified approval. The matter was duly considered in all its de- tails by the most prominent leaders of the Grand Army of the Repvblic, and upon their indorsement the House and Senate committees on invalid pensions made her and searching investigation into the facts, with the result that, with proval of the Secretary of the Inter: the commissioner of pensions, th: existing law was accomplished w: tin either branch of Congre: from party division of any character. “Assistant. Secretary Reynolds, w with superv:sory powers con! fon affairs, states as follows in his | report for’ the fiscal year ending Sceretary Reynolds’ Recommendation “In my last report I stated as follows “I also believe it important that power ap- rand al of and free should be conferred by iaw upon the com- missioner of pensions to order that where a soldier In receipt of a pension unlawfully ak 3 ndors his family and negle de for them, such pension, or of, might be paid to his wi one in trust for his help] ren under pensionable age; and I su west that such legislation be rec to Congress, thereby applying the law the case of a father that i3 now a under like circum since has deepened my conviction ation In this di that sh importance cf levis and I am further ns should be provided ate legislation for protecting the pension mone fort and benelit these convinced fumily in ases where the gift b enerous un squandered U.rough kennes. other forms of vice, or where through weakness or i competency the pensioner is di the nation’s bocnty through the s wicked and designing persons time of each quarterly pay « gation which I ha this s remedies ha sugge rh may be that of discontynuing ments by checks at the aad requiring ch by mail, thus lodging pens with the pensioner ot his home, wi der the intluence of irien class would be able to resist us throu which the w. pped. in addition to thi: gested that such individu: ction indicated should the care of guardian: OMA pbeinted, lo Miahage this fund netit.

Congress repealed the ex ing la nd pensioners are now required to ute their vouchers b: constituted cerutying offi nen delivered to the pe by mail, z on the treasurer or of the Uniz Mailed to U try begging the con steps Which will se dren the benefit of pe dered by dissolute husbands. App: this behalf come from benevolent ministers of the gospel an rating in affecting te tailed upon suficring sipating the pen nose intemperate pensioners wlio receive pe nal ay at the agencies. ‘To ail these appeal commissioner forced regretfully to that be possesses no authority to « payment of pension, or ary part there from the pensioner to any oth less such p be the peniteatiary ane cr rdian skall nave been app: person and estate by a court of comp jurisiiction. Suggestion, however, is made that the wife or some one in her behalf ap- ply to the probate court for appoiatment of a guarcian, where a clear case of ob- liquity or incompetency car be shown. “The statement that the whole {68,417 pensioners en the rells are touched by ‘ihe ew law is wholly incorrect. Statistics show tnat less than wO execute ineir vouchers and receive personal payment at the agen ies, whereas over $00,000 jiving beyond the cities where pension agencies are located execute their vouchers 1 local certifying officers, or fourth. postmasters, and are paid by checks mailed to their addresses. “In fact, the ation of personal pay- ments at the agencies is a matter of real economy, pecuniari.y and morally. Those who have observed the long line of thou- sands upor thousands of pensioners con- eregating before dawn, four times a year, in the neighborhood of the agencies at the large cities, awaiting their slow turn until nightfall or lon; exposed to all sorts of weather, women with babes at breast and children clinging around them, widows with their two witnesses required to testify inued widowkccd and life uf minors, going hungered throughout the en. day, fakirs and suspicious characters hovering around like vultures to feed on their prey, ribald men in various stages of intoxication—a very Babel of tongues and terror of conditions—can well appreciate the merit of a change which brings by post to the home of each the envelope contain- ing the government check, thus relieving the pensioner, male and female, not only from the ecst and suffering, In a large ma- jority of instences, of atterding one or per- haps two or more days for personal pay- ment, gut also from exposure to the ele- ments and the revelation to the public eye of their porsible poverty ard distress. Giving the Wife Some Chance. “Again, when the check {s received at the pensioner’s home, where better influ- ences than elsewhere may reasonably be supposed to obtain, and temptation to go astray is not so imminent, who can doubt that the pension money will be dispensed more strictly In accordance with the inten- tion of Congress that the bounty of the government shall be used to supply either in whole or in part the necessaries of life to the disabled soldier and his family? The wife is present when the check is received, and her persuasion will naturaily turn her husband away from his possible desire to drink, but if he must drink, he will prob- ably be satisfied to take a few dollars for that purpose and leave the remainder to his family, rather than dissipate it all at the bar rooms and gaming tables. “The soldiers who complain are either misguided or misinformed, the only hard- ship being that, in some cases, embarrass- iments may arise in securing identification at the treasuries, banks or stores of pur- chase, where pension checks are presented. ‘This embarrassment, however, has always attended the 800,000 or more pensioners who have always been paid by checks mailed to their addresses. “Necessarily, the inhibition of personal payments of pension checks will particu- larly interfere with the liquor traffic at saloons of low order in the vicinity of the pension agencies. It will also interfere, to greater or lesser extent, with the business of bar rooms and of those merchants or traders who advertise to cash pension checks, with the ulterior purpose of secur- ing a portion of the money for purchases of their wares.

Doe’s Bill to Make the Country’s Citizen-Soldiers Effective. From the Philadelphia Ties, In 1877, when lawlessness largely pre- vailed in our great centers of industry and along the lines of our chief higaways from Maine to California, the utter inefliciency of the militia organizations was clearly es- tablished. They were valueless to main- tain the peace, and in many instances fra- ternized with the lawless people when they were brought to confront them. There was no military pride, no sense of inilitary duty, and both person and property were abso- lutely helpless against the organized mobs which possessed our railroad lines and de- fied alike municipal and staie authority. The sad experience of that year led to the organization under state laws of what is known as the National Guard, A bill has been p: d by General Doe, assistant secretary of war, and for adjutaat general of the National G msin, who is recognized as on authorities to the method of taining the mijitia, s mitted to exper men _conne i our sta anizations, and has been very pout to be pi and its passage would an obvious nece. 1 militia fe in ever; Union. provides that the vail consist of ever: mil t danger of the President num’ or states pel such invasion, or 1 to make h of servi l be de summoned they i where within or without the tate or of the S War n 5 should hy TH DUDIELEDY for the F rininment mendes on Ete Vid. women of ¥ Preparations Next A larg: southern yesterlay Vet member of od V ne tt nd of the Un a fes te tival stat ie work. t Tues he de heads wrted the pr se lists of their for announc ay next be- lat 4 o'clock, uring which time no n will be made.

Henry Felpel, an.employe of the Lancas- ter Caramel Company,, was instantly kill- ed in a horrible manner at Lancaster, Pa., yesterday. He wag a” mixer on the first floor, his duties requiring him to make oc- casional trips to the basement, the steps to which were at the,other end of the room. To avoid the detour, a hole had been cut into the floor right ‘under a belt working on an upright shaft, through which Felpel would climb to the basement. In making the descent yesterday morning, he was caught by the belt and jammed between the pulley and brick wall, a space of about four inch- es. His head, shoulders and one arm were forced through this space and were hor- ribly crushed. It was necessary to re- move the shafting before the body could be released. ——_+e+___—_ Loss of the Norma, ‘The schooner Viking, wharved yesterday, brought news to San Francisco of the probable loss of thé schooner Norma. The Norma satled from San Frat cisco on Feb- ruary 9 with ten persons aboard for the South seas, and should have arrived at its destination six weeks ago. MRS. GRESHAM’S PENSION Quite a Little Debate Over the Amount, but the Bill Passed. Seventy-One Other Private Pension Bills Favorably Acted on in the House Yesterday. The Senate bill to pension the widow of the late Secretary Walter Q. Gresham at the rate of $100 per month excited more in- terest in the House yesterday than any cther bill. An attempt was made to reduce the amount of the proposed pension and eloquent tributes were paid to Gen. Gresh- am's memory by Mr. Pickler (S.D.), Mr. Curtis (N.Y.) and Mr. Evans (Ky.), but the democrats took no part whatever in the brief debate. Mr. Crowther (Mo.) moved to educe the rate of the proposed pension to $50 per month. Mr. Pickler urged the House not to re- duce the pension carried by the bill. Gen. Gresham's distinguished services in mili- tary and civil life, he said, made this bill in every way exceptional. He had died in the harness, Mr. Pickler said, and he thought in view of the great popularity of Gen. Gresham, whose friends all over the country had been legicn, that the House - ~ owed it to Itself to pass this bill without ae . j amendment.

There is comfort in th owledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actnal dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the onl. remedy with millions of families, andis everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- cele, which is manufactured by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most la: used and gives most general satisfaction. @Wilburs Breakfast Gere asolate v= Its delightful aroma is the inviting part of the story.
