Among (he .Soldiers.
New York, March 17.—Mr. Halde
■ano, the consul general of Spain, has
received the following information
from Madrid. It is a summary of the
number of men sent to Cuba, the ex
penses and the mortality for the first
year of the Cuban rebellion: "When
the rebellion commenced in Cuba iu
February, 1895, Spain lmd 15,000 men
in the island. Nine expeditions have
been sent from Spain to Cuba. They
consisted of the following officers and
men: Generals, 33; colonels, 520;
majors, captains and other officers,
4. 023; sergeants, 3,257; corporals and
soldiers, 109,362; grand total, 117,795
of all ranks. The mortality for all
ranks from Match 1, 1895, to January
31, 1890, was as follows: Generals, 3;
colouels. 4; lieutenant-colonels, 5;
majors, 17; captains, 51; first lieuten
ants, 101; second lieutenants, 34;
chaplains, 9: sergeants, 80; eoporals,
101, and soldiers, 3,394. Total, 3,077.
Causes of death: Killed in action, 386;
died from wounds, 119; died from yellow
fever 3,190; died of ordinary diseases, |
283. Total, 3,677. The cost of the i
war in round figures is given as fol- J
lot's: February 24, 1895, to February J
2*, 1396, army in Cuba, 840,000,000; 1
M-ivy and war supplies, etc., 810.000,000. j
Total, 850,000,000. For four months j
past 100,000 men have been in Cuba; !
after March 31, 1896, 130,000 men will j
be in the island. The increase in the J
army will mean an increase in ex- I
penditurea. The estimate for the cur- j
rent year is 875,000,000; the cost for
this year and next, 8150,000,000, with j
850,000,000 already disbursed, means |
8200,000,000.
Spain's Resource*.
"Gen. Weyler believes that the war
will last two years more, that that
time will be necessary for the absolute
suppression of the rebellion. Available
funds Hanlc of Spain, 830,000,000;
Varis, 810,000,000; Cuban bonds, $30,-
000,000; Cuban securities and conces
sions, 825,000,000; reserve fund, 815,-
000,000; Total, 8100,000,000. Fifty
million dollars having been expended, |
fifty million dollars remain. While
Cuba is on a war footing her finances
are on a gold basis. The Cuban cus
tom house for ten years previous to the
present trouble yielded 820,000,000 per
annum. The past year its receipts
were between 811,000,000 and 813,000,-
000. In case of necessity-, say a three
year campaign, the Spanish and Cuban
credits may be relied on to furnish the
sinews of war. Up to date Spain has
not made any new loan on Cuban ac- \
count. White authorized to borrow j
875,000,000 she'has not availed herself j
of it. These figures show Spain's re- |
sources and vitality. They are the |
elements on which Spaniards of all
classes rely for the suppression of the
rebellion."
Towus Rui ned by Insurgent*.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Havana, March 17.—The Espana !
battalion met 1,000 insurgents under
Lacret or Zayas at Xenes, near El Pal
me, east of Havana, and an engage
ment took plaee that lasted two hours.
It is reported that the rebels left seven
dead on the field, and carried other
dead and wounded off with them. The :
troops lost three wounded. The insur
gents have entered the town of (iuara, ;
province of Havana, and sacked and j
burned a number of stores. Their
presence caused a panic. There were
uo losses in the rebel attack on the
town of Matabauo Saturday. The in
surgents burned police headquarters,
the town hall, a church, a number of
stores, two coffee houses, five resi
dences and fifty-three frame buildings.
They practically reduced the town to
ashes. A gunboat in the harbor shelled
the rebels during the attack. A rebel
band has burned the buildings on La- I
brinto estate and a residence 011 La j
Vegn estate near Colon. Some idea of j
the devastation already wrought in !
Cuba may bo gleaned from the fact
that thirty-five towus in the western j
provinces have been completely de
stroyed by the insurgents. Resides '
these, twenty-five other towns have j
been half burned. Very little of the |
destruction has been done wantonly !
by either side. Most of the towns have '
been destroyed to prevent their use 1
as bases of operations by the enemy, j
When the insurgents entered the pro- ;
vince of Pinar del Rio and found a wel
come from the inhabitants, no property I
was destroyed. When they were dis
lodged by the Spaniards, the inhabi- 1
tants burned their own towns, and now
nearly the whole province is in ashes, i
The tobacco crop in this province is j
also practically destroyed. Thousands
of people are destitute, and were it not
for tropical fruits and the tropical cli
mate they would starve to death.

HAINES BILL HEARING.
(lev. Morton Will l.intcn to the Argu
inentii of Mayors To-morrow.
Albany, March 17. —Gov. Morton's
decision to give all the mayors who
dpsiro a hearing* on the Haines bill to
morrow temporarily postpones the
decision of the question of sending the
bill to the cities as a cit}' bill and ma}'
be taken as an indication that it will
not be decided to be a city bill. It is
only an indication, however, as the
matter is still under consideration, and
no decision has been reached. Iu re
ference to the question as to whether
other hearings than that to the mayors
would be given ou the Haines bill Gov.
Morton issued a statement declaring
that "the pressure of the governor's
public duties is so great that he will be
unable to afford time for general or
special public hearings on the bill, but
briefs or arguments in writing will be
received up to the time of arrival of
the first mail, 8 a. in., on Friday next."
It is understood that a number of
mayors who liuve been invited to at
tend the hearing have declined, among
them Mayor Strong of New York city.

Otto Ivempner, democrat, New York
city, has prepared a memorial to Gov.

memorial is signed by the minority
members and will be presented to the
governor to-day by a committee to be
agreed upon headed by John 11 Stanch

THE PIPE LINE BILL.
Another Hi-armg; liulore tlio New Jersey
Senate CoiuuiiUeo at Trenton.
Trenton, March 17.—The senate
committee having* the Pipe line bill in
charge gave another public hearing
yesterday afternoon. J. Frankfort,
counsel for the Delaware, Lackawan
na & Western Railroad company, made
an argument ugainst the bill, while
Hugh King of the Columbia Oil com
pany, ex-congressman Ilenry S. Harris
of New Jersey, and Senators Lee and
Emery of Pennsylvania spoke for the
bill. They represented that they were
willing to submit to any reasonable
tax, provided tlio Standard Oil com
pany was made to pay the same tax.
Senator Emery said in his address that
there was a criminal conspiracy be
tween the railroad companies and the
Standard Oil company, under which
the railroads get 20 per cent of the oil
traffic, whether they actually carry
it or not. It is part of the scheme of
the railroads to block, as far as possi
ble, all opposition arising to the Stand
ard company. That was why, ho said,
the Pennsylvania and the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western riilroad com
panies were now refusing permission
to a competing oil company to lay a
pipe across their lines.

GOLD FOR THE TREASURY.
About #1,500,000 To Be Transferrel from
New York Banks.
New York, March 17.—An order
from Washington directs that a call be
made on the depositing banks for 20
per cent, of the gold held by them on
account of the issue of the new govern
ment bonds. The banks had been con
sulted and they agreed that the order
might be issued without affecting the
money market. It will result in the
transfer of about $4,500,000 from bank
vaults to the sub-treasury. The trans
fer will not add to the gold reserve,
because much of the bank gold, if not
all of it, had already been credited in
treasury statements. Bonds held by
the treasury department as security
for the gold will be released to the
amount of the transfer.

HENRY NORTHCOTE TO NEGOTIATE ?
That Diplomatist's Visit to Washington So
Interpreted -—Oood Reasons for Reliev

Has Received Instructions.

tiations which are expected to result
in some plan of adjusting the boundary
claims satisfactory to all concernod.

ney's proposal has not yet actually
reached the stat'e department, but it is
on the way and there are good reasons
for believing that Sir Julian Paunce
fote, the British ambassador, has with
in the past twenty-four hours received

claims commission, and he was Lord
Salisbury's private secretary at Con
stantinople in 1876, during the import
ant negotiations then in progress. lie
has always been considered an ex
tremely valuable man in just such nego
tiations as are now about to take place
in Washington.
