THE ASHBURN ADVANCE. II. I). SMITH. Cl IS LOST 10 SPAIN. SUCH DECLARATION COMES FROM PREMIER SAGASTA. SPANIARDS TIRED OF THE STRIFE. Now A«k* That the United States Come Forward and U.o It. Good Offices. A specinl to tho Chicago Tribune from Washington says Spain is con¬ sidering a formul request to the United States to use its good offices to stop the fighting in Cuba. Intimations have been received at the state department that the Hagastn government had become convinced that tho only way to save Cuba was to accept the often proffered good offices of tho United States. Canovas re¬ peatedly replied to President Cleve¬ land declining these good oflloes, and Sagastn did the same last November. Now the prime minister has become completely disheartened over the evi¬ dent failure of autonomy. All efforts of Spain to bribe the sub¬ ordinates of Gomez to surrender on .the basis of home rule have proven futile. Blanco has completely failed in bis efforts to open up communica¬ tion with the insurgents, and Pando has likewise been defeated in the field. The Spanish minister now feels that the only thing left is to accept the good offices of Uncle Sam in spite of tho humiliation involved. They hesi¬ tate only because they feel that pub¬ lic announcement of this fact would result in a revolution in Spain. Secret negotiations with tho state department aro now actually in prog¬ ress. Tho Spanish government has lost tho confidence of the loyalists in Cuba, and it recognizes tlie fact that the island itself is lost entirely unless this country .will, at this lato day, negotiate with the insurgents for some basis of peace. The Spanish propose that the United Slates should propose to the insur¬ gents an actual armistice pending no- gotiations for pence on the basis of American guarantees of the integrity of home rule, or even of independence on n money consideration. While no such formal proposition lms been made by Minister Do Lome, the stato department lias been given to understand that only the fear of revolution in Spain stands in the way now of accepting tlie friendly offices of the United Slates, which have boon rejected so often. It has been oven in imnted that if this country soe.i fit on its motion to open up communica¬ tion with the insurgents, Spain will not throw any obstacles in the way. Any such move would bo a practical recognition of tlio insurgents as be- ligerents, but things have reached such a crisis iu Cuba that even this con¬ tingency must lie faced. It is understood that the Cuban re¬ public will insist on formal recognition before undertaking any negotiations with tho United States, claiming that it cannot treat with a power which re¬ gards it only as an organized conspir¬ acy of riot and pirncy. Tho situation is critical in Cuba, and the frequent visits of the Spanish minister to tlio state department aro a sufficient indi¬ cation that tho Spanish empire in Cuba is almost at an end. Officials in Washington are inclined to tlio belief that the public announce¬ ment of tho acceptance of this coun¬ try as mediator will result, in instant revolution in Spain, but they admit it is the last hope, and is being serously considered. REDUCTIONS ALL AROUND. Itliode Island Cotton Mills Decide to Pont Noticed. A dispatch from Pawtucket, R. I., says: Thursday the directors of the Valley Falls Company, at Albion, and the Albion Company, at Valley Falls, the two remaining companies in the Blackstone valley which had not an- nuouneed a reduction of wages, decided to post notices to that effect. Reports were received from mills in Arctic, Riverpoint, Quidnick, Pontiac, Natick and other Pawtucket and Black- stone valley villages, and without ex¬ ception they favored resisting the pro¬ posed reduction. The various mills above mentioned employ about 12,000 people and operate 425,000 spindles. NEYV ORLEANS CELEBRATES. rho Anniversary of Jackson*. Oreat Vie- tory Fittingly Observed. The anniversary of the battle o. New Orleans was more generally cele brnted in that city Saturday than at any time since the war.

MILL WORKERS WILL <}UIT. Many Nrw England Operatives Vote Af¬ firmatively on Strike Quosth it. A dispatch from New Bedford, by w'itR drawing the uutiees of a 10 per cent reduction posted in tho milts Do mem¬ ber 3) st. The spinners at a meeting Monday night took filial action on tlie question of striking. The result was in favor of resistance to the reduction, tho vote being 398 to 4. The attempts at arbitration have thus far resulted in the dooision of tho state board of arbitration to visit New Bedford, The weavers of the Wanskuek wors- ^ at I’rovidcnee, li. I., Lave also rejected the compromise ollcrod and voted to strike. They had demanded the restoration of the 1892 schedule as already put in effect at tlio mills at Olnoyville, and the abolition of the donblo loom sys¬ tem. The compromise offer w as to pay a yard extra on ull work in which over ten harnesses aro used. The demand for (he general raise and forthe aboli¬ tion of tho double loom system was refused. On February 1st, 1,140 looms in the printing department of tho Manches¬ ter cotton mills at Manchester, N. H., will be stopped for an indefinite timo. Tlie cause assigned is the falling off in the demand for print goods. There will also be a reduction of about 10 per cent in wages affecting about 30 per cent of the employees. meeting At a large and enthusiastic of Lewiston (Me.) mule spinners Mon¬ day night tho strike situation was discussed. The sentiment was strongly in favor of resisting the cut down) but it is likely the funds will be devoted to the New Bedford strike. The public reception given by Gov¬ ernor Bushuell at night was a quiet affair. A platform, handsomely dec¬ orated, had been placed in the rotunda of the capitol nnd here tlie governor, assisted by Mrs. Bnshnoll and sur¬ rounded by the members of his start', received, first, the reception commit¬ tee, the members of the legislature, state officials and their ladies; then tho public was admitted and about 2,000 people passed through and were greeted by the governor and his wife. ’The employees of the Lonsdale Company, at Paw tucket, li. I., aside from the mule spinners, were notified Monday of n reduction iu wages.* The cut w as in nearly every ease a surprise. Weavers of Ihe Ashton mills were told instead of 0(i| per cut they here¬ ring after get only 75 cents. In the spinning departments and tho card- rooms the reduction will be 10 per cent. No strike is anticipated in the mills of the Lonsdale Company. CON HU (TOR LAW HIES. Ti)juries Kect'lvotl in Wreck of His Train Provo Fatal. Conductor Henry M. Law, who was injured in the wreck on tho Atlanta and West Point railway hist Sunday died Monday afternoon from his in¬ juries.

If is genial and pleasant manners endeared him to the travel¬ ing public, while liis strict attention to his duties won for him the confi¬ dence and esteem of his superior officers. The cause of tho accident as ex¬ plained in a later dispatch was that a mule was on the track. The engine struck the mule at the east end of the bridge and threw it on (he bridge The engine passed over without any trouble, but the coaches left tho track. PRESIDENT ON BIMKTALLISff.

One of it ho two was Andrew (tho other probably John, who wrote the gospel), who found Ids brother Simon and brought him to Jesus, and Jesus called him Cephas, or Fetor. H was tho tiny after that on which Jesus found Philip nrnl Philip found Nathanael, who said to (didst, "Thou art the Son of Clod, Thou art the King of Israel,” and to 1dm Jesusspako of the worn!rous slgnillenneo of Jacob’s ladder, 10. “And he salth unto them, Follow Mo, and I will make you Ushers of men.” It would seem that alter tho events just re¬ ferred to as recorded by John, Andrew and Simon, although having evidently re¬ ceived ClirlHt as tho Messiah, returned to their occupation as ilshermen. This was in uecorda'.itjo with what Faui afterward taught, “Let every man abide in tho same calling wherein glorified Im was called” (I Cor. vil., * 20). Our Lord the Father ilrst as a ea rpontor iu Nazareth, When we re- oolvo Christ, wo must first glorify Uhn at homo and in our straightway ordinary occupation. their not# 20.

Then day by day ilo more and more takes the place hold of even lawful things, and they lose their upon us until Christ Is all. 21. "And going on from thence, Ho saw other two brethren, James, the son Of Zo!>-* edee, find John, Ills brother, in u ship with Zohetlee, tlielr father, meitdiug their not*, and He called them.” As we have said, John was no doubt tho other disciple of Cod of the Baptist, who followed the Lamb that (fay with brother Andrew, and ami brought as Andrew hint found Ills own that to Jesus, it Is moro than probable brought John fouml his own brother amt hint to Johuh, Ferhaps lho words “J In ilrst ilmlolh his own brother” (John L, 41) may indicate that Andrew was just a lilllo ahead of John in this brother hading busi¬ ness. if the ho called brutherho » lot FJiiiip and Antirow coniine thomseivos to winning hou is, they will bo blessed of Cod, but whon they slop aside to the social and cnterlain- monl ImslnesH they ace no longer lu tho service of Cod.

This also after tlio resurrection was made to mean even more to Fetor, when he was told to follow Jobum, regard luffs of even wliat John might do (John x.xL, 22). Thun the Jife becomes an ever Increasing separa¬ tion from the nearest and dearest unto Him alono, and we sing with a meaning perhaps undreamedof before i’ll go with Him, Yvlth IJI/n, all the way. 23. "And“Jesus went about all Galileo, teaching in their synagogues, and preach¬ healing ing the gospel of the kingdom, nnd all manner uf sickness ami /ill manner of disease among the people.” When tho king¬ dom shall have fully come and Cod shall dwell with men on earth, there shall be m> more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be /my more pain (Itev. xxL, 4), The Inhabitant shall not. say, l am Hick; the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven tlielr Iniquity. and They shall obtain joy and gladness, (Isa.

"Ami ills fame went throughout all Byrla, and I hey brought unto Him /ill «ic!c people, * * * and if') healed them.” Ho we read In chapter xii., 15, "Great muiti- iudos followed Him, and He healed them all.” The manner of the.dl.sea.se mattered not, for He had /ill power.
