at Oleaga, in the province of Pinar del

lively fire resulted, and the insurgent forces
dispersed. leaving four dead on the field.

even greater than this. OF the troops two

The Spanish forces are now encamped at
the latter place. Maceo is in personal COM
mand of a large force of from 5000 to 5000

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 14-The Picayune
has received the following from its staff
correspondent, dated Havana. Cuba, Nov S.
There are SO many conflicting rumors
flying around On the island. many
ports which are often untrue or exagger
ated that your correspondents work is a
most difficult and dangerous one for if any
life is considered cheap here it is the Amer
lean newspaper correspondent. The latest
application of gag law is the decree by
Captain General Weyler. whereby all news
dealers are compelled to send one copy of
each and every newspaper they are going
to sell to be approved or disproved by the
censor. In this manner all newspapers
containing the reports of the war are quiet
ly squelched.
There is no doubt that the election of
William Mckinley is source of much wor-
ry to the Spanish government for it is
generally conceded that the new President
will do something towards recognizing the
insurgent governments belligerency. In
conversation with officers high in the Spa--
ish army and who are close TO the Madrid
government they have positively asserted
to me that the Home Office has assurances
from their minister in Washington to the
effect that the Cleveland administration
will not recognize the Cubans under any
circumstances At the time Congress
passed the joint resolutions the Spanish
minister had conversation with the State
Department. and he was assured by that
department that, no matter what Congress
did. the government would. under no cir
cumstances, recognize the belligerency OF
the Cuban insurgents. Still further. the
minister was Informed that the United
States government would take special pains
to stop the flibustering. and. if necessary,
would place two or three men-of-war in
such places as would be necessary to stop
expeditions.
From one of General Weyler's secretaries
1t is learned that General Weyler has issued
instructions to all the captains of cruisers
that whenever an expedition is caught that
court-martial Is to be made on the spot
and the execution to follow. in order to
avoid international complications. such as
the Competitor case. In the trial of polit-
ical prisoners here there is no such thing
as justice, for the judges have to. give a
verdict against the prisoners or incur the

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Two editorials. as

Thomas Merrick Jones appeared in the
Irish Republic during the absence of G.

denounced Joseph Chamberlain, British
Colonial Secretary, in unmeasured terms
just after he had landed in New York on
his recent visit here. 1t is said the result
of this article was to have Mr.. Chamber
lain placed under the protection of de-
tectives during his stay in America. The
editorial which occasioned the greatest ex-
element among Irishmen and denunciation

after DR.. Thomas Gallagher, who was re-
leased from Portland prison, had arrived
mere Jones was one of an amnesty COM
mittee which received Gallagher, and his
denunciation of the Doctors prison treat
mont was bitter in the extreme. In the next
issue of the paper he had published an
editorial article headed Strike Her TO the
Heart, which refers TO England's treat
ment of Gallagher, Whitehead and other
political prisoners in England's jails, and
says,
