ENLIsTMENTs FOR CUBA.
American sympathizers Lay Themselves
Liable to Severe Penalties,

American sympathizers Lay Themselves
Liable to Severe Penalties.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The attention of
officials here has been attracted by the
stories coming from all portions of the
country indicating that enlistments are
going on of parties Of men to go to Cuba
to join the insurgents in their struggle
against the Spaniards. These enlistments
are In direct violation of the neutrality
laws and are prohibited under severe pen
alties. For accepting a commission to
serve against Spain, country with which
the United States is now at peace, the pen
atty prescribed is 5000 fine and three
years imprisonment, while for enlistment
to serve against Spain, or hiring any
one to enlist, the penalty is almost as
heavy, being a maximum of $1,000 fine
and three years imprisonment
= If the movements continue on large
scale, as reported, it is probable that the
department Of justice will send instruc-
tions of a special character to all of its
agents calling their attention to the proc
lamation issued by the president last
spring, and enjoining upon them strict
enforcement of the neutrality laws. The
government doubtless will be obliged to
do this in order to manifest its purpose to
law, just as it has warned the shipping in
terests against taking part in nlibustering
movements.
In all sections of the country last night
enthusiastic meetings were held, at which
resolutions strongly urging action by this
country in the interest of Cuba were passed.
The following dispatch from the Span
ish minister of foreign affairs in regard to
the death of Gen eral Maceo is made pub
lie by Minister De LONE: "Maceo's death
took place in loyal fight at Punta Brava,
and was caused by our soldiers bullets
This is proved by the letter written by
the son of Gomez, in which he states that
he killed himself in order not to leave the
body of his general. The handwriting of
the letter has been verified and also every
detail of the fight"
There is more than ordinary interest in
the meeting of the senate committee on
foreign relations, which has been called
for this afternoon because of the supposi-
ton that the condition of affairs in Cuba
will receive especial attention at the hands
Of the committee. There is diversity of
opinion in the committee as to the course
to be pursued, and it is quite possible that
today's meeting will be barren of all re-
suits.

WEYLER IS IN Bad FAVOR.
Probability That Cuba'S Captain General
Will be Recalled.
GENERAL MARIN MAY SUCCEED
The Attitude of Americans in Enlisting
For cuba Calls Attention to the Severe
Penalties to which the Enthus-
lasts Become Liable.

MADRID, Dec. 16.-Acoording to surface
indications, Captain General Weyler will
soon be relieved of his command in Cuba
The discomfort with Weyler is noticeable
even in the government organs They say
that instead of going TO Havana to receive
an unmerited ovation he ought to have
continued the military operations in the
province of Pinar del Rio.
A bad impression has also been created
here by the dispatches of the Spanish cor
respondents at Havana announcing that
General Weyler has suppressed all dis.
patches referring to the ovations in Spain
in honor of Major Cirujeda. 1t is supposed
that the captain generals action was due
to jealousy, and it is currently reported
that the government is disposed to replace
Weyler by General Marin, now governor
of Porto Rico.
General Marin has seen considerable
military service in the cause of Spain,
having participated in the last Cuban
war. At that time he had for adversaries
on the insurgent side some of the men
who figure prominently in that service to.
day. General Marin went to Cuba per-
manently with Martinez Campos when
the latter was appointed captain general
of the island, He acted as captain general
when Campos was In the field against the
insurgents, and when Campos was re-
called, Marin took his place during the
interregnum between the departure of
Campos and the arrival of Weyler. Gen
eral Marin is about 80 years of age.

The members Of tho congregation of the
Presbyterian church were agreeably sur
prised last evening upon learning that their
beloved pastor, Rev. T. Maxwell Morrison,
had returned greatly improved in health and
prepared to again take up his labors here.
Rev. Morrison has had a long siege of sick
ness, at the home of his parents in Chester
county, and the community at large joins the
members of his church in giving him a
hearty welcome, with the hope that his re-
cOvery may be permanent one.
