The insurgents have been gradually massing their forces in the province of Havana for the past thirty days. Now there a re about 20,000 in that province, commanded by the following of ficers: Jose Maceo, with about 5,000, at Guirade Melena; Lacret, with about 5,000, in San Jose de las La jas, about eight miles from Havana city; Pedro Diaz and Castillo, with about 4,000, near Guines; Jose M. Aguirre, near Baiuva and Jaruco; Juan Masso, near Quivican; Francisco Car- illo, near Bejucal, and Callazo, near Santiago de las Vegas. Col. Pedro Diaz is the military governor of the western division of the province of Havana, and has permanent headquarters in that province. Jose M. Aguirre has been in the province over twenty days. Jose Maceo came from near Cienfuegos by rapid marches and has been fn the pro vince about a week, and the others have gradually moved in from the positions which they occupied. Gen. Gomez is in the province ot Puerto .Principe, gradually moviug westward with his command, and Gen. Calixto Garcia is still further east at the head of a large force also mov ing westward. Col. Jose M. Aguirrei has oc cupied the plantation called Lot eria, near Bainoa, for consider able time a portion of his forces. Recently fifty firemen enlisted as Spanish volunteers were sent to dislodge the insurgents forces from the plantation. After re connoitering the commander of the Spaniards concluded that the insurgent forces were too numer ous for him to attack. He or dered his men to return, but thirty-eight of them refused and went over to the insurgents with their arms and ammunition. - Outside of the large cities the firemen have all been enlisted as Mr. D. P. Davis, a prominent liveryman and merchant- of Goshen, Va., has this to say on the subject of rheumatism: T take pleasure in recommending Chamberlain's Pain Balm for rheumatism.as I know from per sonal experience that it will do all that is claimed for it.

I upon for active service they are con tent to be considered as Spanish volunteers; but when they are sent to the front most of them embrace the fi-st opportunity to go over to the insurgents At Guayabal, on April 20, Jose Maceo surrounded 380 Spanish troops witn superior lorce and captured them without a fight. He disarmed them, stripped taem of their clothing and sent them naked to Guayabal, The Span ish troops are not provided with underclothes. The obiect iu stripping the Spanish troops is for the purpose of getting their uniforms. These Spauish uni forms, djnned by insurgent forces, have been playing an important, part in the guerrilla warfare. About two weeks ago a com pany or opanisn troops, near Guines, saw what they supposed was another company of Spanish troops on the top of a hill near by. The Spanish troops saluted the troop on the top of the hill with a blast from their bugle. The troop on the hill tooted with their bugle in reply, The Span ish troops went considerably and then waved their hats. The troop ou the hiil waved their hats also. Tha Spaniards then marched up the hill, cheering and waved their hats again. The troop on the hill cheered and waved their hats and gesticulat- ! ed with great enthusiasm. When the Spanish troop came within 300 yards the troop on the hill proved to be insurgents and poured a, deadly volley into the ranks of the enemy. Although the Spanish troops greatly out numbered the insurgents the volley took them so completely by surprise and it was followed by such a vigorous attack that they were compelled to retreat in disorder.

One of them became sick and medical attendance was provided for him, but after a short iUness he died. He was buried by the surgents and certificate was given to the captain of the crew. giving the exact location of the grave so that the boJy might be removed. The insurgents had a number of skirmishes while this -.ship wrecked crew was with them. The crew was always sent to the rear or placed in the cantre of the column, where they would be protected. The captain of the crew said they had the same fare as the insurgents, which was always plenty noS a vari ety on account of the trouble of cooking, but enough to eat. The insurgents finally conducted the crew to within hfteen minutes walk of the city ol Pinar del Rio and tken they were turned over fo Gen. Suarez Valdez, the Span ish commander of that depart ment. This letter was sent to him: "Citizen Suarpz Valdez: We send you a crew of sailors who have been shipwrecked. We have taken the best care of them that our circumstances would permit, aud expect you' to care for them as well and send them to the Danish consul at Havana. Please - acknowledge the receipt of this letter, so that we may be able to make a proper record on our government books." The letter was signed by the captain of the crew. When the crew reached the Spanish pickets they were obliged to ad- yance with the rifles of the pick ets pointed at tnem, They were closely detained until they could be sent to Havana by boat. They were sent to Havana in a Spanish coaster, but a good round charge was made for their fare. The How To Treat a Wile, Fist, get a wife; second, be pa tient.

A few days ago the papers in this city, reported that the in surgent leader. Narcisoo Lepez had been killed in the district of Sagua. province of Santa Clara. It has just been learned that he was riding along the highway, near the villiage of Magauraga. He was met by a column of Span ish troops under the command of Col. Estruche. He was taken from his horse ana conducted to Col. Estruche and there he pro duced his papers showing that h3 was an American citizen. He was grossly insulted by Col. Es truche and then ordered to the rear where he was killed by the Spanish troops with machetes. He was in no way connected with the revolution and on the day that he was killed he, was going to look after some property that he owned near Magaurava, His relatives were afraid to give out the actual facts at the time he was killed for fear that there lives would be taken. The cen sor described Lopez as an insur gent leader so that the facts would not be investigated. It is said that the consul at Sagua has reported the circumstances to the United States goyernment. It is reported here that at the request of Minister Dupuy de Lome, uhe administration at Washington has directed the consuls to serve a copy of all re ports of massacres on the Span ish commanding the depart ment inwhich the massacre oc curs. This is admirably adapted to carry out the plans of these brutal Spanish officers. If the office have -immediate notice of reports of their brutal barbarity it is the more easy for them to ascertain who has given the in formation, When the inform ant is discovered he is forthwith despatched. For every quarter in a man's pocket there are a dozen uses;and to use each other in such a way as to derive the greatest benefit is a question every one must solve for himself.

Colonel William Ludlow chairs man of the Board of , Engineers appointed by the President to examine the route of the pro posed Nicaragua Canal, does not take back his opinion that the enterprise will be a costly one. In his testimony before the House commerce committee, afr ter declaring that the board of which he was chairman were the only engineers who 1 had ever gone over the entire route, he revised bis original estimate of ?134 000,000 by enlarging it to $150,000,000. This would make the undertaking a very costly one and while Colonel Ludlow ad. mitted the feasibility of the en terprise, he evidently, thinks it would never be either a profit able or judicious investment.' We are inclined to the belief that the general public is accepting Col onel Ludlow's opinion in this matter as conclusive against any commitment of the governmeut of the United States to the scheme, IN WILLOW DALE. rear among the Thoughts of The Argus Man in Strolling Through the City of the Dead. The Argus man strolled leisurely into Willow Dale cemeteiy re cently. It is a beautiful place at this season of the year. Nature has donned her lovliest robes and sits quiescent on her floral throne, while gentle zephyrs impregnated Avith the perfume of roses play around her and fan her gay stream ers, in beautiful contrast are the cucnea marble shalts that their lofty heads from green foliage and stand as silent sentinels over the "City of the Dead." When the South winds blow softly the drooping branches of the willows vibrate and send forth the plainitive, melanchollv notes of dirge that are caught up by the lesser growth and chanted over the mossy mounds or the dead. In passing through this lonely nit beautiful city of sleepers one cannot resist uie reelings or awe and reverence and the hallowed nil nonces that seem to permeate its deserted and shady thoroughfares. Occasionally wo pause as we ead some familiar name and can ut think how meagerlv is the noble life, whose body lies confined in that earthly prison cell, repre- entod in an epitaph chiseled iu cold marble. Fresh flowers are seen placed iround some of the sunken mounds and the surroundings bear marks of being often visited, while around others where even a part of the red clay is etill visible, the weeds and grass have crept slowlj over that bosom that sleeps be neath those cold, clamy clods, and nowhere are the traces of foot- rint3 to be seen. Are we so soon forgotten? This thought brings us to a pic ure that we cannot contemplate with any degree of pleasure. Will the great luminary of this earth w hen it seeks repose next Satur- j day evening on the bosom of the . acihe cast a shadow from a pine slab over a newly made mound. and a voice that is gleeful now be hushed forever I In this silent city stands the soldier sentinel to guard the "last esting place of his comrades who fought and bled and died in de fense of their honor.

Lamar said many things which are as applicable now as they, were at that time. - lie agreed that the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1 would drive gold out of circula tion and cause "a contraction of the currency sharper and more disastrous than uny thing that can be anticipated from the present condition of affairs," It was contended in lSTS,.as it is now that the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 would increase the compensation of. the laboring classes. Mr. Lamar described the effect of free coinage on wage earners and the farmers of the South as follows: First, let us see what the .effect will be upon laborers, even con ceding that it will produce high prices. The two things which are effected by a change in prices are labor and real estate. Every thing rises or falls, as the case may be, before thoy do. W hat, then, is the situation of the la borer who has been earning a dol lar a day, after the price of every -thing has risen ten cents on the dollar or, which is the same thing, after the dollar has been depreciated ten cents? The price of his labor is the same. He re ceives the same amount of pay which he. received before that is a dollar a day but he receives it in a dollar cheapen by ten cents, while he has to pay for everything he purchases a higher price; and therefore the value of tho money he receives for labor is less, aud brings him fewer comforts than it did before. . Look at the price of labor in any of the tables that have been published, and you will find it as firmly fixed as any law, that the prices of labor and real estate go up slower than anything else. Therefore, any change wrhich brings higher prices to a country, and unnaturally raises the prices, as certainly brings oppression and distress upon the laborer for the time being. But more especially will this policy fail to benefit the farmers cf the South and West. They have nothing to pay their debts with except the money which they make over and above their current expenses. They must first pay the" current ' expenses of the fear and apply their surplus to the debts which are now press ing on them. . The Senator from Ohio, in re ply to a question from the Senator from Connecticut, (Mr, Eaton), as to the price in gold in the mar kets abroad, said: ' What have we to do with abroad. The great production of the South has its price fixed at Liverpool in a gold market, and that dominates the price of the same product with armies, or "the outpourings ot floods or the withholding from the parched and llil'?ty earth the re freshing rains of heaven." Mr. President, we have two great American products in this country. One is the cotton pro duct. That product demands gold everywhere on the globe with the single exception of the spot wThere it is produced. Not a human being handles this product of Southern agriculture, the product of American soil and American labor, not one man touches it beyond the confines of Amer ica who cannot command gold for it at its own price; but the producer of it, he who digs and delves and plows the earth, does not obtain what the product of his work will command over all the world besides. All that Mr. Lamar said against the free coinage of silver in 1878 applies to present conditions writh four-fold force, for when he spoke the bullion value of a silver dollar was 90 cents, and now it is but 51 cents. The evil effects of free coinage now wrould be im measurably greater than they would have been when L. Q. C. Lamar and Benjamin II. Hill made their great speeches against that proposition . Whatever hidden meaning he may haveMartin says he's behind McKinley and that he's going to stick. Weyler has posted another proclamation. He is one of those fellows who run while they may read. For some time Governor Mor ton has been altogether lost sight of. Can it be he's buried under the sawdust of the wood he's been sawing. McKinley's capture of the II hnois delegation seems to give that enterprising boomer a reas onable assurance of success. The delegates actually under instruc tions for McKinley may not count up a majority of the con vention, but the drift is so de cidedly in his direction that it is likely to sweep in the stragglers and he is much more likely to gain than to lose in the time re- maining unless some movement can be started against him more vigorous than anything now in sight. The convention is still some weeks off and the Ohio man is not nominated yet. But Republicans who do not take kindly to his candidacy may as well make up their minds that, as things are going, he will be very hard to beat, Remember tho place, Under Opera House.
