CIVIL TRIALS IN PINAR DEL RIO -
But a still better Indication of the
Cuban occupation of the Province of Pinar
de. Rio and tue advance that has Eeen made
in every branch of the revolutionary gov
ernmcnt is the civil administration. Six
months ago all trials were conducted by the
military authorities. 1t did not matter
what the offense mi ght he, the army settled
the matter and without much parley. This
has been changed.
Everywhere Throughout the province the
civil branch of the government is in fun
working order. The perfectos appointed by
President Cisneros hear in a regular way
all the cases in their respective districts.
Courts are held and juries impaneied. More
important cases go before higher civil Of
fiCials, and the most important, for instance,
those involving disputes between perfectos
or districts. are heard by the civil governor
Of the province.
why does Gen Maceo remain in Pinar
del Rio: He remains there 10 hold the
proviDccfor the republican government. The
back. This is not the cause. He can cross
the trocha arg time he so desires. His army
consists of about II ,0CO men. of Which
5000 are very well armed. But he does
not desire to leave the province.
He wishes 10 make it the fighting ground
of the remainder OF the war, and be-
iieve all the heavy operations from this
time on will be made there. While Maceo

MACEO's SECOND INVASION.
when Maceo left the province after the
first invasion the Spaniards made a great
deal of capital OF it. They said he had
been driven out, and the Madrid papers
published dispatches telling how Pinar del
Rio was subjected and how the rebels were
flying in great haste back to the east.
When such reports came to the ears Of
Gomez and Macco they believed moral in
jury would be done the cause to allow such
Impressions to remain, and SO Aaceo start
