An Aggressive Campaign.
Spaniards Will Try to Force the Cubans to Fight
in the Open. Have Invested the Mountain.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—Information
reaching here is that the Spanish military
operations begun early in October are about
to go forward with greater energy than at
any previous time. Important results are
expected from this forward movement
within the next three weeks. There are
now 25,000 more Spanish troops en route
for Cuba. They will be distributed in the
western provinces. It is expected that
with these additional troops in position
the four western provinces will be com-
pletely garrisoned and occupied at every
point by the government troops.
The lull in operations within the last
few days is explained by a circumstance
not yet known. The insurgent leader
Maceo moved to the coast for the purpose
of receiving a phneumatic dynamite gnn
which had been landed with great difficul-
ty. The trial of the gun failed to show it to
be formidable, the shot carrying only 500
yards, or less than the distance carried by
rifles. Under these circumstances Maceo
has retraced his steps without the dyna-
mite gun.
Meanwhile the Spanish forces have been
divided into two main divisions, one in the
south and the other in the north of the is-
land. The main purpose of the troops
has been to occupy the mountain passes,
and this has proceeded so rapidly that it is
asserted positively that every approach and
egress to the mountain recess is now com-
manded by a heavy force of Spanish troops.
This plan of campaign is relied on to force
the insurgents to fight in the open country.
The civil affairs of Cuba also have under-
gone a change within recent days. By
agreement between the leaders of the
Liberal, Conservative and Hoge Rule
parties, constituting all the loyal elements,
they have been merged into one party
known as the “Party of Common Defense.’
The main feature of agreement is the ter-
mination of the rebellion before any plan
of autonomy shall be put into operation.

FosTER'S WEATHER PREDICTIONS.—
My last bulletin gave forecasts of the
storm wave tocross the continent from Oct. |
30th to Nov. 3rd, and Nov. 5th to 9th. The
next disturbance will reach the Pacific coast
about Nov. 10th, cross the west of Rockies
country by close of 11th, great central val-
leys 12th, eastern States 15th. The warm
wave will cross the west of Rockies coun- |
try about Nov. 10th, great central valleys |
12th, eastern States 14th. The cool wave
will cross the west of Reckies country about
13th, central valleys 15th, eastern States
17th. The cool wave will be the most se-
vere of the month, and will probably be |
called a cold wave. As the rainy. period
of November will extend from about the
6th, to the 20th, this disturbance will |
“cause rains in many parts of the middle lat- |
itudes. A great fall in temperature will
occur between Nov. 1st and 18th. This |
will come in two cold waves, one about the
8th, and the other about the 15th. !

THEY ARE SORE OVER THE MOUNTAIN—
The fight that has been on between the
Republicans of Philipsburg and those of
Bellefonte for a long time bore its legiti-
mate fruit at the last election and now
each side is laughing in its sleeve, while it
blames the other for the down-fall of the
Republican county ticket.
About the only men for whom there is
little satisfaction are Messrs. Womelsdorff
and Curtin. It is cold comfort that they
should be made martyrs of in order that
their friends be able to even up old scores,
but such is politics and there is always to
be reaped just what is sown.
The Philipsburg Ledger views the result
rather defiantly as the following indicates :
In the defeat of part of the Republican
county ticket and especially in the defeat of
the Republican candidate for the Legislature,
it will be nothing but fair, at this time in
closing up the campaign, to show to the peo-
ple the situation of affairs just before election
day in order that it may be made clear to
them why the result stands as it does.
On September 12th, 1896, Mr. WomelsdorfT,
one of the candidates for the Assembly, had
practically the following proposition sub-
mitted to him through a strong friend of
Governor Hastings.
“If you will agree to pledge yourself to
vote for D. H. Hastings for United States
Senator, if you are elected, then he and all
of his friends will do all they can to elect you
and the county ticket. But if you will not
agree to this proposition then he and all of
his friends will do nothing, and by their
actions and influence tend to defeat the
same.’
Mr. Womelsdorff refused to pledge himself
and after waiting a certain length of time the
stead of confining themselves to the main
issue, circulated all sorts of outrageous stories
amongst these who could not refute them in
reference to combinations with Democrats,
State College appropriations, Etc., until the
friends of Mr. Womelsdorfft were compelled
to fight vigorously on the defensive, and the
unfortunate result is that both Republican
members are defeated. :
Now that this result has been accomplished,
the next fight will be the U. S. Senatorship,
and it will be well for the friends of Governor
Hastings to note carefully the trend of af-
fairs on this matter, in order to see how far
wrong our Representative was and to see
where the fruits of their victory will come
in, and it is clearly demonstrated that no
matter how carefully a man may endeavor
to do his plain duty asa servant of the pco-
ple, no matter how closcly he may endeavor
to stand by the best interests of those who
are trusting in him'as their chosen repre-
sentative in defiance of the bosses, or the
powers that be, the time will come when the
people, misled by the same powers into be-
lieving their false statements will, without
taking time to look the stories up for them-
selves, and forgetting all that their Repre-
sentative has tried to do for them even when
it required great moral courage to do it, de-

School directors Clark M. Gramley, John
Zeigler, Jerome Moyer and J. A. Deitrick
were so consistent and untiring in their ef-
forts during the campaign that they will be
remembered gratefully by the silver voters.
Several gold bugs are already aspiring for
township offices. Why need they live on
the township when they promised us pros-
perity and business? And how dare they ask
a bimetallist to vote for them when they de-
feated Bryan with their money and 53
electoral votes ?

On the night of election, when the heavy
| McKinley majorities came rolling in, one of
our prominent Republicans, who leaned back
on his chair with great confldence and se-
renity said ‘lets speculate on McKinley's
cabinet now.” At this moment a silver
Democrat responded. ‘‘Mark Hanna is the
whole cabinet,” a prophecy that has already
been sufficiently verified.
Of late Rebersburg has been making rapid
improvements. We now have the telephone,
the doing away with what might be called
kid parading, from sunset till midnight. No
wonder our little boys and girls of the ages
| of six to twelve years outdo their parents in
| wisdom.
| We would suggest that the Hanna-.
McKinley wire pullers would use their influ-
| ence to have Snyder Miller appointed post-
master. He was popular, efficient and ad-
mired by all for his ability to run the office
and mind his own business. During his term
he was most satisfactory, he kept the office
| open late in the evening, so that the farmers,
| who were to town but once or twice a week,
could get their mail, and if the leaders con-
sult the people Snyder will be the man.
The Bryan and Sewall club will be con-

Business mm our town for the past month |
might be considered fair, but not equal to

duced the volume of business very materially. |

General Grant’s demeanor during the battle of

during the most critical moments, General Grant
manifested no perceptible anxiety, but that he
was visibly affected by the sight of blood. Dur-
ing the second day of the battle Grant sinoked
about twenty strong cigars, his highest record in
the use of tobacco.

rain made the paved streets so slippery |

must lean slightly towards the north pole |
while filling. So it seems that the moon not |
only affects cabbages and the shingleson a
roof, but will also damage vinegar, and even
the barrels if not attended to on Friday, |
when the horns of the moon point to the |
south eastern corner of a mackerel looking |
