Minor Engagements in Which the Natives Are Said to Have Been Driven Back. MADRID, Srarx, Jan. 9. — At a Cabinet council held to-day it was decided mnot to accept the resignation of Captain-General Campos. It was resolved to increase the and naval forces in Cuba. It appears from the tenor of the first part of the foregoing dispatch that Captain- General Campos had tendered his resigna- tion. There have been many rumors that he intended to do so, and also that he would be replaced. At the political dem- | onstration recently held in Havana Gen- eral Campos announced that he would not resign in face of the enemy. It is therefore surmised that General Campos has not actually resigned, but that the Council has predetermined not to ac- cept his resignation should he decide upon retiring from the command in Cuba. Additional advices to those already re- ported have been received from Havana concerning recent engagements with the | revolutionary forces. These show very great activity on the part of the Spanish | army and indicate an important and pos- | sibly decisive engagement at an early date, General Garina Navarro, as already re- ‘])oued, recently met and put to flight at | Gunajay the combined forces of Maceo and Gomez. The assaultof the Spanish troops upon the insurgent forces was so vigorous and spirited and the retreat of the enemy so precipitous that two companies of Gen- eral Navarro’s command pu contingent of the fleeing rel quite a long t ! body of the Spanish | of this e y given, including tended it.

NEW YORK, N.Y.,Jan.9.—The Court of Appeals in the case of Mary A. Morris against the New York, Ontario and West- ern Railroad has rendered an interesting | decision bearing directly on the question | of privileged communications made to doc- | tors. The Code of Civil Procedure say. that a doctor shall not be allowed to di close any information which he acquired | in attending a patient in a professional | capacity. | Mrs. Morris, in the case decided, sued the railroad company for injuries received. At the time of her illness she was attended by two physicians. She called one, but when the defendant attempted to call the other she objected on the ground of privi- leged communication. Her objection was sustained and the suitdecided in her favor. The decision, of course, does not alter the | confidential relations of a physician and his patient where there is only one physi- | c1an, but where there are two or more physicians and opinions differ no one of | them can testify without giving the de- | fendant in a lawsuit the right to call all the others. e VYery Weary of ‘“‘Lord Beresford."” NEW YORK, N.

Smith as receiver for the Atlantic and- Pacific Railroad to succeed John J. Mec Cook, whose resignation was presented to Judge Collier, with that of Aldace F. Walker. The appointment of a receiver was deferred until to-morrow, when Attor- ney Green, counsel for the Mercantile Trust Company will be here. The court refused to consolidate the two cases brought by the first and second mortgage bondholders. AT Prosperity of Colorado. NEW YORK, N. Y., Jan. 9.—John B. Farish, a prominent mining engineer of Denver, says that. Colorado has not only completely recovered from the silver panic, but has become one of the most prosperous States in the Union. When it found that silver was not profitable it turned its attention io gold-mining, with the result that last year it produced $17,000,000 in gold—an increase in the of $6,000,000—and this year the promises to be much greater. This makes Uolorado the first in rank as a gold-pro- ducer. Cripple Creek, which has recently become famous, is only one of many localities where rich gold deposits have been found. e Ex-Governor Marshall Dead. ST.
