A special to the New York Journal from Havana, under date of November 29, says: Yesterday the irsurgent leader, Delanco, and Col. Gayo entered Pazo Viejo, a sub- urb of Havana, and looted government stores. The firing last night greatly alarm- ec Havana. A party of insurgents got be- yond the control of their leader and hang- ed three officers of the guerrillas. A correspondent with the Cuban army writes, stating that the party that sur- rendered with the brothers Cuervo, the two leaders, was made up of pacificos, who were armed with machetes by the authori- ties to lend color to the pretended submis- sion. There were six fighting men only with the Cuervos when they presented themselves, as all their party had left the command when the charges of cowardice were preferred against the leaders. The remaining forty-four presentados were gathered from the homeless country peo- The letter further states that a similar farce is te be set on foot in Santa Clara, und that before jong we may expect to hear that 250 men under Maximo Gomez irrendered, the party to be made up men collected and armed for the cccasicrr by the auchorities. Insurgent Colonel Captured. Col. Sanchez Marimo, commanding the right wing of the insurgent force under Deigardo, was surprised by Inspector Cue- ‘as and a party of armed police and was brought as a peisoner to Havana last ight. He was resting, unattended, when uptured, the police being guided to his Piding place by a Cuban traitor. It is a fact that apart from the Cu- lent the number of persons pre- seives to Spanish lines during eek is less than in many weeks before the “reform.” The winter is ap- preaching, and the country, refreshed by the rainy season, is once again tenable. Even most of the sick and f«int-hearted Cubans think well before coming in to starve in the overcrowded towns. zen. Leneral, with the heavy columns, to try to drive out Ducasse and fron: their position in the hills near Ariemisa. Scnor Canaseyas has ac- ccmpanied the force to tne front, and will the past 4 watch the operations with interest. Yet, after he haz heard the present military authorities confirm Weyler’s statement thet omy a few guerrilia bands are left in the field, it must strike him as strange that three heavy columns, with artillery and cavairy, should be needed to capture one insurgent position. The intrenchments eid by Ducasse are in the Cuzco hills, defended so braveiy by Maceo. Ducasse Strongly renched. ‘The position has been held since the start of the war, being built on a spur of the range overlocking the western trocha. Fierce fighting is expected, but the insur- gents are well supplied with ammunition and wil hardly be driven out by the infe- rior arullery fire of the Spanish soldiers. The condition of the Spanish warships in Havana is causing much comment among the Spaniards here. In the event of war with the Unied States most of the fleet in these waters would be practically useiess. They have not been docked and attended to fer some Ume. Immense bills have been sent .n for Uinkering repa.rs, and the boilers of the Alfenso X11, the largest cruiser in Havana, would never stand A full pressure. B.ds for the new boilers were opened some time ago, but have never been c.osed. The men in the naval and marine force, how- ever, are a Well-urliled and «isciplined body, making the badly trained and ragged sol- diers appear ridiculous in comparison. New Floating Dock at Hund. The new floating dry dock was tested yes- terday, and will be prepared at once to at- tend to the much needed outside repairs to the fleet. At present Spain has to dock her ships in St. Thomas for repairs, and in case of trouble with the United States this would place her in an awkward .prediza- ment. Admiral Manterola, who arrived from Sfa:n Thursday to take command of the fleet, is preparing to make a thorough inspection of the naval forces in Cuba. Un- less a large sum is voted, however, it will be impossible for him to place his’ vessels in even tolerable condition. Calixto Garcia is ser-ously menacing Hol- guin, and reinforcements are being hurried there. Gen. Parrade has, during this week, sent leiters to Arrango, Aranguren, Del- gado and other western leaders, offering them government positions if they surren- dered. Gen Rodriguez has issued an order to hang all persons in future who enter camp with such proposition: MEMBERS IN THE CITY. Senators.

TIGER IN GH PINES Tammany Has Removed Temporarily to Lakewood, N.J. SACHEMS ARE THERE MAKING SLATES Probabilities as to Who Will Get the Fat Offices. PARKHURST A NEMESIS Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NBEW YORK, November 29, 1897. Tammany Hall has for the present moved to the pines of Lakewood, N. J. With the arrival of Bird S. Coler on Monday all the leaders will be gathezed there with the ex- ception of Register-elect Isaac Fromme, who will make ‘no changes in his depart- ment, and John C. Sheehan, who is suffer- ing with indigestion. In spite of the assertion that Richard Croker went to the aristocratic summer re- sort to run away from the politicians, he has not discouraged the coming of his henchmen, and between meals talks over the appointments which the incoming administration wil! make. The rumor in regard to Sheehan has al- mest become an accepted fact. It is said gn the best authority that Sheehan is tol- erated, not trusted, by Croker. Following the lead of the “boss,” Grant and Murphy do not like him. Sheehan does not care to resign, however, and will not unless his present illness and the fact that his large contracting business requires too much of his time are found sufficient reason for his voluntary retirement with what he regards flying colors. It is common talk among the men gathered at Lakewood that Sheehan is but a figurehead. The hand that guides, the head that controls, the Tammany ma- chine is Croker's. Sheehan is today the weakest man in Tammany. Slate-Making Goes On. The quiet slate-making proceeds between meals, drives around the lake, golf and pigeon shooting, all of which have been served to minister to the complaining boss. Names are already mentioned and one or two of them are regarded as certainties. Of course, a great many slates may be broken; they always are, but at this writ- ing the outcome looks about like this: The office of corporation counsel will probably be tendered to David McClure. He is, in fact, said to be Mayor Van Wyck’s first choice. The corporation counsel will be a member of the ne board of estimate —the so-called bulark agains: “grabs” so that this is by far the most important name to be placed on the Tiger's slate. If Mr. McClure declines to accept, it is be- lieved the position will. be tendered to Henry D. Hotchkiss. As to the assistant corporation counsel, it is not so clear that Senator Grady will be appointed. The name of John F. McIntyre was mentioned in this connection today. McIntyre is strong with the:Irish and anti. English element 2n aceountiof his suce ful defense of the alleged dynamiter Ivory in London. A serious Split Was at one time threatened because Maintyre was not men- tioned in the ante-election office _ talk. Members of the Irish National Alliance have gone so far as to fssue @ proclamation denouncing Tammany’s course in this re- spect. If McIntyre does not get the office of assistant, he will be taken care of in some other way. - It is also believed out among the pines that James J. Phelan Will be the president of the dock board an@ J. 8. Cram will be ; given a place on the beard. Phelan is said to be Croker's choice, while Hugh Grant stands sponsor for Cram..The name of Andrew White is mentioned as a possibil- ity instead of Cram, while.John L. Shea, one of McLaughlin’s-- henchmen, is men- tioned as the Brooklyn representative on the board. What effeet the Croker-Mc- Laughlin tug of war will have on this last name is yet an unknown quantity. President of Police Commission, It is generally conceded, that Patrick Kee- nan will be president of the police commis- sion; Bernard J. York will be the Brook- lyn member, and that Joel B. Erhardt, once the republican collector of the port under Harrison and an anti-Platt man, is slated as one of the republican members. It is also said that Mayor Van Wyck will confer with Senator Platt as to, the other member of the board. The rest of the slate as it looks at pres- ent is as follows: President park board, Nathan Strauss. President fire board, John J. Scannell. Names are mentioned for the other places, but they are not with such a degree of certainty. Leaving the Tigers to ‘their slate making, and coming back to a consideration of things general, a great deal will depend on Bird S. Coler’s attitude whether the Mc- Laughiin-Hill-Murphy-Croker trouble will Prove serious. It is said that if Coler goes into office determined to bring the Tiger to terms he can cause considerable dis- turbance. Of course he could not worry Tammany over the question of patronage, but he might over assessments and con- tracts. This, however, is not an immediate danger, as the question of contracts will hardly come up much earlier than six months after the entry of Tammany into power. This bridge, it is said, can be crossed when it is reached. In fact, it is said that Croker has already discounted anything Coler may do. Hill Remains Silent. Every effort has been made by the friends of ex-Senator Hill to induce him to reply to the recently made statements by Croker, but the hermit of Wolfert’s Roost is as silent as was Van Wyck during the municipal campaign. It is said that he is Satisfied in declaring his “Elmira man” Stanchfield as his choice, regarding that as a@ gauge of battle. Now that Croker has picked it up and announced that he looks upon Senator Murphy as the leader of the party in the state Mr. Hill, it is said, will pursue his customary tactics. He will at- tempt to ally the up-state democracy in due time, and warn the farmers of the dis- astrous effects of the extension of the in- fluence of Tammany beyond the confines of the metropolis. Speaking of Stanchfield, the latest piece of talk is that Elliot F. Danforth, chair- man of the democratic state committee, has deserted Senator Hill and taken shelter under the wing of the Croker-Murphy com- bination. The knowledge that Hill intends to give Stanchfield his support is said to have embittered Danforth, and of tate he has been talking to his friends in a way that would indicate that he and the ex- senator had come to a parting of the ways. Mr. Danforth does not’ admit in so many words that he has severed his'relations with Hill, but he says: © _I cannot believe it possible that a ques- tion will arise between Senator Murphy and ex-Senator Hill as to the leadership of the party which would jeopardize the strength of the democracy.””- Mr. Danforth did not-explain the signifi- cance of his words. He left it to interence whether he meant that ex-Senator Hill's following was not important enough to be compared with the sttength of Murphy, Croker and Grant. 9 Parkhurst Tammany’s Enemy. There is to be another thérn inserted in the tiger's side. It cathe over on the Ad- riatic on Saturday, in the’person of the Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhtrst. The vet- eran crusader against=Tammany methods had no sooner set foot‘on our soll than he declared his undying determination to make war upon the boss of Greater New York and his lieutenants in their conduct of the public affairs. Parkhurst has been many’s evil genius for years, and he an- nounces that he will live up te his reputa- tion. He was the most instrumental factor in driving Croker into “voluntary exile’ for four years, and the future promises much when he renews his efforts in the di- rection of reform, : The doctor ts primed for another fight and determined not to lose all of the ground that he gained in his previous crusade. A definite plan of actiog’on the part of the doctor and his lieutenants in: the Society for the Prevention of Crime has been formulated and dally consultations are be- ing held arranging the preliminaries of a hard fight against the vice that is expected to be rampant when Tammany once more makes the cliy wide open. A great number of new members rave been added to the society, and an effort is being made to bring in a new and wealthy THE OFFICIAL ih lis iy ht WEATHER MAP. .

Conditions and general forecast: The pressure is low over the Gulf of St. Law- rence and on the middle Rocky mountain plateau. An area of high pressure covers the central valleys, and the pressure is also hig on the northern Kocky mountain pla- teau. The barometer has falien over New England and in the Rocky mountain dis- tricts; it has risen in the lake regions, and thence southward to the east gulf staies. ‘The temperature has fallen in ihe Atlan- tic and gulf staies, and Cecidedly in’ the lower lake region ard the Ohio valley, and it has risen throughout the Rocky moun- tain districts. Showers have fallen in the middle and south Atlantic states, and showers or snow in New England and the lake regions. Rain has fallen on the rorth Pacific coast and snow in the extreme northwest. Fair weather is icicated for New Eng- land and the Atlantic and gulf states to- night, and threatening weather, with snow, for the. lower lake region and middle Ohio valley tonight or Wednesday.

Accessions 0! rong Men. It is said that the doctor has been very successful in this respect, and that many men have signified their intention to be- come members of his society, the mention of whose names will startie the whole city when announced. The doctor declines to give out for publication the details of his proposed campaign, and although the city papers teem with his talk to their reporters it is known that he has not expressed himself extensively since his return. He has said, however, that Platt treated the Greater New York with a crude charter and now he has given us Tammany to gov- ern it. “He became practically an accom- plice of Croker,” says he, “when he .ound that he could not have his own way, and has restored to power the corrupt gang from which we hopeu we had escaped. To return to New York and find it at the mercy of this vile gang makes me unspeak- ably sad. My vocabulary does not match the ignomy of the situation.” It is said on what appears to be good authority that the doctor and his work will be talked of between times at slate making under the pines, and means devised to impede the work of the society in every way possible. teen tae See CONDENSED LOCALS.

In order to encourage early Christmas shopping the Palais Royal has inaugurated what {s known as its holiday opening, when it marks down prices to encourage buyers to make selections early. Its opening this year began yesterday, when its holiday stock was complete and filled to overflowing every counter and display case in its ‘ig store. Especial attention has been given to goods suitable as holl- day gifts. The book department in the Pa- lais Royal was never so large, and the display of dolls and toys is especially pleasing to the little ones. A pleasing conceit is the display showing the palace of the dolls, with a bridge leading to doll town and guarded by a doll policeman. All silverware sold by the Palais Royal is marked with initials free of charge, and, if desired, all goods purchased now will be held and delivered the day before Christ- mas. Ali this week the holiday opening will be in progress with reduced prices. _————— The United States Government a De- fendant.
