Now That the Rainy Session Is Over It Is Expected That Spain Will Inaugurate a Vigorous Campaign Against the Insugents. Washington, Oct. 13. A stntcment cabled from Miulrlil to tho effect that tho tJnlteil States government has Intimated to tho Spanish minister hero that there Is need of prompt action on tho part of his government In putting down tho Cuban Insurrection, cannot, bo confirmed at tho statu department. Tho officials when ap proached neither would confirm nor deny tho report, though their manner would In dicate disapproval of Its accuracy. It Is believed quite, probablo that representa tions may have been made to Spain of tho Wisdom of aggressive and nctlvo opera tions against tho Cuban Insurgents, but It Is thought tho United States government did not make these, suggestions. It Is apparent that .tho Cuban junta docs not lntond to tirgo recognition of tho in surgents ns bolllgeronts prior to the open ing of congress, and dally ovents point quite as strongly to a dotormlnatle.11 to force tho question on tho attention of con gress, in tho belief that tho legislative chauuel affords tho most practicable routo to tho accomplishment of something in behalf of Cuban independence. It is pointed out hero that tho circum stances at presont aro different from thoso surrounding thq last Cuban rebellion, when President Grant took his stand, In that tho rebellion dragged along for nearly ton years, whllo tho present Insurrection has been in progress less than a year, or not nearly as long as our own rebellion. Whatever may havo been tho Inspiring causo to Spanish activity against tho In surgents (whether Minister do Lomo's representations or tho previously formed determination of tho heads of tho Spanish government), It Is known officially that Spain Is about to open a campaign of far greater cnorgy than any thus far taken. Tho wet season has provonted the move ment of troops and the maintenance of an uggresslvo campaign, but tho dry season begins about threo weeks hence, nnd this will bo tho signal, It is said, for oxtenslvo movomonts. A cordon, consisting of a double lino of'gunbpats, will surround the Islands to prevent tho landing of arms or ammunition for tho Insurgents, and with out arms from outsldo it Is bolleved thoy toon will be helpless. Tho now boats about to nrrlve In Cuba will not bo far short of twenty. Several of them were recently sent from tho United States. About twelvo were built in Eng land, and aro now on their Y .iy. Several more wore constructed In Spain. They ore yory small, not iich largur than a steam yacht, but aro well armed nnd aro of such light draught that they can run In tho koys that surround Cuba. They will form tho Inner cordon around tho Island. Outsldo will bo tho second cordon, made up of tho Conde do Vendito and other largo' ships which Spain has In Cuban waters. With tho Island thus cut off from with out General Campos will push tho fight ing from within. It Is expected by Spanish officials that this forward movemont will chango tho entire aspect of tho conflict f rom ono of mluor skirmishes to oxtenslvo battles, '.yrjio sentiment among Spanish authorities Is that a decisive forward move ment is essential, and the coming cam paign Is rolled on to moet fully tho require ments Of thq situation.

It Will Also be Used to Hoist Men and Occasionally For Hoisting Water. Elmwood and Tunnel Ridge Are to be Consolidated. Passing by tlio various collieries ono falls to obscrvo anything other than tho monoto nous puffing of steam, hoisting of cages, run ning of cars, etc., but Bhould tho visitor descend into tlio dark caverns from whence tho blackened cages come he would find at several of tho collieries many departures from tho ordinary course of work. At tlio rwniimoor coinery, ior instance, somo very important new work Is in progress. No. 2 shaft of that colliery, which is low down to tho Holmes vein, is to lie sunk to tho Mam moth vein, and may bo extended to tho Seven-foot. The object is to mako it an air shaft, as well as a .second opening for the hoisting and lowering of men. In the event of a freshet it will also bo used as an auxiliary shaft for hoisting water, as is done in No. 1 shaft. In addition it is proposed to erect a 21-foot fan on the shaft. The present air shaft, which is located northwest of tho colliery, is in danger of being destroyed by reason of the workings of tho seven-foot and Buck Mountain veins worked by the Thomas Coal Company. A continual and gradual squeeze has already been developed to tho extent that tho surface in tho vicinity of tho shaft has been already disturbed and large fissures branch in many directions. Tlio new shaft will be of great advantage to the employes in that it will afford addi tional means of ingress and egress,' and the solicitude of the P. & It. C. & I. Company for the welfare of the employes is shown by the fact that they aro making the improvement at a cost of from $12,000 to $15,000. Tho work on tho breaker and washery which aro to be located near the shaft of the old Plank Kidgo colliery lias been tempo rarily suspended, but tho work will be re sumed in about two weeks. Tho breaker is about one-third completed. Tho suspension is due to there being a drag in the market for tho sizes of coal the place will prepare and also on account of all repairsincu under the P. & E. C. & I. Company who havo no urgent work on hand being required to build wooden tanks to be used in purifying sulphur water to feed tho boilers of tho collieries. All the collieries controlled by the company in this region are to bo supplied with these tanks. The company looks to tho proposed washery 1 ami breaker as a mint. Tho banks upon which the plant will operate havo 'never been disturbed sinco they were created, which was during the early years of operation at tlio old colliery, when not only thousands upon thousands of tons of what was then'-' known only as wasto and is now put on the market as buckwheat, pea and rico coal 1-was thrown aside, but thousands of tons of' chestnut coal, then not in demand, was also dumped to keep the men cniploycd'in the mines. If he original owners who cast tins "coal aside through such-a generdus Impulse' wero' still in command they would justly enjoy a 'largo returning harvest. It is estimated thatrit will tako tho plant three years to exhaust tho banks. The slope at tho P. & It. C. & I. Company's Elmwood colliery, on the outskirts Of Maha noy City, has been sunk to the second lift below water level and gangways aro In course of construction. A tunnel cutting tho middle and bottom split of tho Mammoth vein and ono to tho Buck Mountain vein aro also being driven. The depth of tho slopo extension is 100 yards, making the total depth of the slopo 1)00 feet. Tho 'slopo at Tunnel ltidgo colliery is now being sunk to the second lift below water level, or about CO feet, making a total ' depth of 800 feet. It Is contemplated to drive neross the basiu, puihp all the water from Tunnel Itldgc, and ' take all fho coal from Elmwood colliery to Tunnel Itidgein order to prepare all at tho latter place. The object is to consolidate the operations of tho two collieries In one, and to that end thcro will be built at Tunnel' Itidge u mammoth breaker modeled after tho type of tho Shenandoah City colliery. Tlio consolidation will reduce tho working force at ono of tlio collieries, especially the engineers, firemen and slato pickers. Tho cut will bo felt principally among tho outside employes and there will he n reduction in forem.inships. It is claimed that as tho coal business has been so dull the past few years, and tho prices realized have been so low in the lino trade and at tide Water, tho operators aro forced to make all retrenchments poible.

Time for important patents has expired. The field is now open, therefore we offer you now a $50.00 MACHINE for $19.50. Taken all in all, we count the "DEMOREST" the best Sewing Machine in the market. Light running, easily managed, no noise, high arm, no springs, every movement positive, hard ened steel bearings, all steel at tachments. More up to date in improvements than an' other. How can we sell such a machine at $19.50 ? Easy enough. We buy and sell sewing machines as we buy and sell Dry Goods.
