Spanish Governments Could Not Suppress
the News VI Cuban Success.
NEW York. Nov 25.-A dispatch to-
The World from Havana, Cuba, says:
The Spanish government could no
longer hold back the news that Generals
Maceo and Gomez had crossed with
their respective armies into Santa Clara
province, aud finally published the
news officially. =
Both Cuban generals have been in
Santa Clara some days, hence the NOV
ing of other insurgent troops further
westward into Matanzas province.
General Antonio Maceo is west Of
Santa Espirtu, in the Siguanea
mountains. There the Spanish
gathered together 10000 or $4,000
troops, including mountain artillery,
with the intention Of defeating the
famous Cuban general, but they either
did not meet him or were defeated
themselves, for nothing is mentioned Of
what happened there.
The Spanish are concentrating all
their forces around Santa Clara, the
capital. 1t is expected that IN important
battle will soon be fought in that neigh
borhood.
General Jose Maceo has crossed over
into Puerto Principe province it is off,
cially acknowledged, aud is or his way
west to Santa Clara. He is said to be at
the head Of 5000 men.
Must Take Refuge or Fight.
General Roloff, in his last manifesto,
warned all farmers and country people
generally that on and utter Nov. ID.
they must either take refuge in garri-
soned cities or join the insurgent ranks.
The programme Of the Cuban rebels
is being carried out, and the Spanish
troops apparently can offer but slight
resistance.
General Gomez has declared that he
will operate in earnest next month in
the most important part Of the island.
As the rebel forces continue to push
forward, and advance further west, it
II apparent that they have selected
either the province Of Havana or Matan'
zas for their battlefield.

Combination the World
Has Ever Seen:
Shows the Manner in Which

WASHINGTON, Nov. rs. - Senator
William F. Chandler has written the
following letter to the president: ,.
II make complaint to you and
through you to our interstate commerce
commission against the trust and pool
ing agreement now nearly finished of
the eight American railroad trunk lines
and the one Canadian line of pooling
the traffic between New York and Chi
cago. The agreement provides that
every railroad in tho combination shall
make and maintain the transportation
rates prescribed by board Of manag-
ers representing all the roads. This is
. conspiracy in restraint of trade and
commerce under the act Of July 2, 1880.
The agreement also makes certain that
all competition shall be abolished. as
above required, by imposing heavy
fines upon any offending road, which
fines are to be applied for tho benefit Of
the other roads. This is division of
earnings contrary to section s OF the in.
terstate commerce law. This trust and
pooling agreement
Can he Aunihilatod
as provided by explicit existing laws Of
the United States first by an injunction
from the courts, second by an order of
the interstate commerce commission or
third by an indictment Of the indi-
viduals signing the same. It can also
easily be stopped by a vigorous appeal
from you to Mr.. ]. Pierpont Morgan,
whose power over the nine governors of
the nine trunk lines is as absolute as it
was over the bond syndicate. It cannot
be possible that you intend to take upon
your administration the responsibility
of fastening upon your burdened and
helpless people this, the hughest. trust
the world ever saw or that was ever
conceived of, when one earnest word
from you to your fresh attorney general,
your ambitious chairman Of your COM.
mission or your omnipotent banker
friend will paralyze the iniquity in its
inception"
