AND TEA
Man, supplied with reasoning and discerning-
powers, may improve his con
dition by the exercise of these faculties.
This can be applied with very good
effect in the purchase of Coffees and
Teas. A good cup of Coffee depends
not only on the making but the brand
of Coffee, the grade, the roasting and
preparation are very important factors.
We feel confident that we can meet all
those requirements. A delicious cup
of Coflee is a certainty if you use
our Fancy Blended Coffee.

Havana, Jan. i.U A dnputcli from
Madrid nuiiounco that (jpiicral Valeriana
Weyler Inn accepted tha appointment to
tho governorship of Cuba, ami will sail for
tho Island on Friday next. General Suarci
Vuldeslms been appointed second In com
mand. Gouornl l'olavioja, vrhoho namo
had been mentioned us tho probable suc
cessor of General Campos, had n confer
euoo on Saturday with tho president of tho
council of ministers, Senor Canovns del
Castillo, nt Madrid. Tho goncral oxprossod
himself as favoring tho appointment; of
General Valorlano Weyler as captain gen-!
oral, and In cousequunco tho latter was
lent for.
uu Saturday Goncral Campos, who will
return Immediately to Spain, sent tho fol
lowing telegram to Seuor Castillo: "I
consider your telegram us an order, but I
ought to state that I havo not given my
resignation. I havo no sonso of failure I
am tho first to congratulato tho govern
ment upon Its decision, which, perhaps,
will nvort disagreements which do not
affect mo and yet might bo hurtful to
Spain."
Thero Is to bo no change In tho policy of
tho government, It is announced, as tho
result of tho recent changos in tho execu
tive olllcors. It Is also assorted that po
litical reforms will bo Inaugurated us soon
as tho progress of tho war will allow. No
further specifications are given as to what
tho contemplated reforms aro or how far
they will extend.
On Saturday Colonol Galblo fought tho
forces of tho insurgents which havo been
in Plnar dal Hlo at Pozo Heilamlo, north
of Batabuno, and on tho railroad botweou
that point ami Havana. It is said that
tho Insurgent forces wore those of Gomez.
Tho troops met tho attack of tho Insur
gents on their knees, and withhold their
llro until tho enemy was within a short
distance. Tho report says that tho insur
gents left cloven killed on tho Hold, and
nine mora wera found In a cano Hold a
short distance away. Tho Spanish artil
lery did good oxocutlon. Tho Insurgents
rotroatod, It Is reported, with a numorous
loss, whllo tho loss of tho troops -was In
significant. Although tho report statos that Gomez
was repalsod and dofoated It Is reported
that ho moved afterwards south of Molona
upon Gulna3 and in tho direction of tho
vlllago of San Nicolas. Thoso points aro
eastward of tho military lino of Batabano
and would indicate that Gomez was suc
cessful lu his attempt to broak through
tho lino which had been established to
keep tho lnsurgonts in tho Yuolta Abajo
district.
During Saturday's operations Gomez in

near Las Cruces, on tho railroad running
between Clonfuogoa and Sagua La Grango,
which approximately marks tho La Trocha
military lino. The Insurgents also nttaeked
a fort on tho plantation of Constancla in
tho Cionfuogos district, and, It Is said,
wore repulsed with a loss of six killed.
Tho column of Major Cedono fought tho

TII13 XHWfl III WASHINGTON.
Seuor ruliim Declarer It Is an Argument
for Cuban Itecogiiitton,
Wasiiisoton, Jan. 20. Tho announce
ment of tho appointment of General Val
erlauo Woylor as civil captain goncral of
Cuba was rocolvod at Cuban headquarters
horo as confirmatory of tho viov they had
already expressed upon the now of Cam
pos' rotlroniout, that thoro has been a rad
ical chaugo lu tho policy of tho Spanish
cabinet, and that henceforth thero Is to bo
a reign of blood and terror In Cuba.
Tho change lu tho oubluet, Itself, In tho
retirement of tho Dukoof Totuau, and tho
succession of Senor Elhuayon as minister
of foreign affairs, Is regarded as still
furthor confirming this Idea. Genoral
Weyler Is a veteran soldlor and has hod
his own experience In revolutions, for he
followed the fortunes of the Spoulah army
In Cuba for veara durimr the last revolu.
tion, with the rank of ooluud, and earned
for himself a dreadful reputation as a man
of blood and iron.
Senor Pnlmu, tho representative in tho
United State of the Cuban revolutionary
party, speaking of the superseding of
Campos, said:
"This action on tho part of tho Spanish
government Is not wholly unexpected.
General Campos Is ono of Spain's most
famous commanders, and at tho begin
ning of tho revolution ho said that In n
few wccki, or at most but n few months,
ho would surely crush out tho robelllon,
but now, after elovon months, ho has been
obliged to shut himself up in Havana, at
tho very door of tho cupltol, unublo to
eopo with tho ndroltnoss and skill of tho
conimandcr-ln-chlef of the revolutionists.
"Tho Spanish govornmentthlnkthnt by
tho substitution of nuothor goncral thoy
will meet witli better succoss. General
Campos' withdrawal from command, lu
my opinion, Is becauso tho officials at Mad
rid considered his treatment of tho Cubans
as too humano. Thoy want n policy ol
moro cruelty pursued.
"Nothing short of independence can
quell tho spirit of tho Cubans. Their
strength cannot bo weakened, and 200,000
men would bo put into tho field nt onco if
thoy could bo properly armed. It seems
to me, and I believe it will so nppear to
tho American public, that the mere fact
f Spain being compelled to change gon
cruls at tills period of tho war should
demonstrate tho strength of tho revolu
tionists and hasted tho tlmo when the
United States shall recognize us."
Iterances from Cuba.
TAMPA, Kin., Jan. 20. Tho steamer
Olivotto last night brought forty-live
refugees from Cuba and Saturday night
landed 130 lu Koy West. Threo hundred
refugees uro already booked for tho noxt
trip. Tho refugees say that If ono does
not participate lu tho revolution they
must leavo Cubaor join the Spanish forces.
Thoso able to leavo are doing so, but tho
loss fortunate will join tho revolution and
greatly swell tho Cuban army. General
Martinez Campos Is expected by the noxt
steamer to return to Spain through tha
states and New York. Thero Is some talk
hero of giving General Campos on ovation
when ho arrives.

Washington, Jan. 20. Tho presont in
dications are that tho time of tho sonnto
will bo dlvldod this week between tho dis
cussion of flunncos and tho Monroe doc
trine, tho latter to bu based upon tho Da
vis resolution and tho former on the free
colnago substitute for tho house bond bill.
Several senators, Including Toller, Danlol,
Cookroll and White, will speak on tho sil
ver bill during tho week, nnd tho proba
bilities aro that tho consideration of tho
bill will not be concluded -whou tho end of
tho wek is reaehod. No vote will bo so
cured until tho Utah sountors take their
scats, but It will come goon after that tlmo.
Tho silver substitute has prccedonco over
nil other matters each day at 3 o'clock,
thus rendering it lnrj isslbloto takoup the
Monroo resolution oxcept during tho morn
ing hour, unless by general consont. Sen
ator Pugh will today try to secure a vote
on his resolution for tho payment of gov
ernment obligations In coin instead of
gold alone, but his success In that direc
tion is doubtful. Tho tariff bill will bo
reported during tho week If Senator Jones,
of Nevada, gives his consent.
The house will devote tho week to tho
consideration of tho appropriation bills
unless n movo is made to recognlzo the
Cubans as belligerents. It Is quite prob
able that tho question may bo presonted to
tho house in some shape. Tho oommltteo
ou foreign affairs lias as yet proposed no
resolution on the subject, but thero aro
many indications that tho whole question
will bo considered in tho house before long,
Tho urgent deficiency and military
academy appropriation bills, which nro
ready, go to niuko up the regular work for
the week.
