HAVANA, April S.-Much speculation
is INDUCED in here as to the movements
OF Antonio Maceo, the mulatto insur-
gent leader, who was recently reported
to have sailed from a Central American
port ior the purpose OF taking the field
in Cuba againt the government 1t ia
surmised that he landed at Fortune
Island, whence he wrote to his col
leagues notifying them OF his failure to
land in Cuba.
There are not lacking those among
the government supporters who charge
thnt Maceo was on board the American
steamer Allianca when she was fired on
by the Conde De Nenndito, off tho east
coast OF Cuba. and that he would have
boen landed at Cape Maysi II the war
ship had not been there to preventit.

A Matter OF Laziness.

President ". =. Fowler, of the Bos-
ton Industrial Aid Society, declares
that, with few exceptions, men who
are idle now are so from choice, for
there is 4 great abundance of work on
every side, and il is sometimes difficult
TO get men and women To fill the places
offered 10 the society. Many are un-
willing TO 90 into the country ; others
want ''soft'' jobs, and still Others de-
sire something different from that
Offered them. The man or woman
who is ready to take hold of anything
honorable that offers itself is the ex-
ception, and this, after the experience
derived from the hard times of 1884,,
seems unreasonable. Mr. Fowler says
that it is the shiftless and improvident
people who are still complaining of
lack of work and consequent poverty.

Pursuant to his orders. Major Berrien,
with his battalion of the Twelfth, had
been scouting the open country taat lay
t. The northeastward of the cantonment.
s. alarming had the situation become.
- significant if not actually defiant
was the manner of the Indians whose
lodges were pitched all over the prairie
around the agency that the command
ing general had caused lntrenchments
To be thrown up on every ridge over
looking that threatened settlement. Ad-
ditional troops. including a strong force
of infantry and detachmentS Of light
artillery. had been sent TO the scene.
Hotchkiss and field guns were placed III
position commanding the Indian camp,
and night and day the earthworks were
heavily manned and sentTies and out
posts guarded every approach.
Meantime the main body OF the hos
tiles was still ghost dancing and howl

chasms Of the Bad Lands. 50 strong in
numbers and SO secure from assault
within the lines Of their natural fortress
as TO laugh to scorn all premOnition OF
disaster. Runners had gone to every
tribe urging concerted action and united
revolt. Every day brought new acces-
sions. and all that was needed 10 enable
them to bid defiance 10 the encircling
force was the arrival of the great bands
that had broken away from the reserva-
tons along the Missouri, followers and

Without noteworthy incident, Ber-

ing the breaks and ravines Of a dozen
little streams flowing into the Wakpa
Washtay. had located trail after trail Of
travois, pony and lodge pole tracks, had
secured the wide valley Of the main
stream, but without sight of 4 single
warrior, much less 4 war party. The
still smoking ruins Of two ranches told,
however, of recent visitation, and the
hOof marks of cattle mingling with the
pony tracks pointed unerringly whittier
the spoil had been driven. Meantime.
while nothing could be seen of the willy
red man, every hour gave new proof
that their own movements were closely
observed. Signal smokes went putting
skyward on almost every side, and the
night sentries declared that twice just
before dawn of two successive morn
ings they had dimly seen shadowy
horsemen darting over the neighborinS
ridges and had heard the thud of nimble
hoofs. Even IN the faded gray of the
bunch grass, even on the hard frozen
ground, experienced eyes could find cor
