wEYLER OUTWITTED.
Gomez and Maceo Roam Around Havana
With Troops at Will.

"AeA AAOOPp az W liz
New YORK, March ga special
to the Herald from Havana says:
No one has paid much attention to
the reports from the field as to OPP
erations lately. Washington and
Madrid have been the sole centers
Of interest. Yet, within few days,
Maceo and Gomez have achieved
another of those successes in the
face of strong opposing columns,
which have made the world Won
der how it was done.
Gen. Weyler, apparently believ-
ing he had driven them to their
stronghold in the everglades of
Cienne de Sapa, has been hurrying
thousands of troops into Santa
Clara by land and sea with the one
purpose Of hemming his enemy in
at that point. Gen. Pablo, COM
mander at Santa Clara, only await
ed the arrival of these troops to
strike hard blows. But Gomez and
Maceo, having left in the ever
glades hospitals all their wounded
and ILL, strengthened their forts
with new troopers fresh from
Puerto Principe and Santiago, and
then, while the Spanish battalions
were en- route to catch them,
they unexpectedly turn west again,
slipping past all distractions with
only few skirmisbcs. Now Gen.
Gomez is in the heart of Natanzas
and Maceo is once more almost at
the gates OF the capital. Trains
have been fired on just beyond the
city, on the Matanzas road, and
Monday night there was a sharp
skirmish only three miles beyond
the suburbs of Jesus del Monte, a
little settlement near Havana, to
which omnibusses and horse cars
make regular trip from Havana.
There was no official report of the
affair given out.

Postofice Authorities Seize His Letters to

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5.-May-
or Sutro was furious when he
heard of the seizure by the postof-
flee authorities of his communica-
tions to congressman and senators
at Washington warning them Of
the schemes of Huntington to
compass the passage of the fund
ing bill. His anger was occasioned
not so much by the stoppage Of
the letters, as from the fact that
he was not notified by the post
master of the seizure. He consid-
cred that the holding of the letters
had caused the loss of valuable
time in the fight against the fund
ing bill, and that he should have
been told that the department
considered the envelopes objection
able, so that he might have de-
vised other means of placing them
in the hands Of members of con-
greSS.

soldiers are still on duty this


morning.
The neighborhood OF the cham
Der of deputies was held by a
strong force of infantry and police
and every precaution has been
adopted to quell an outbreak
should there be one.
In addition to the crowds of peo-
pie belonging TO this city, large
numbers OF persons, including
many socialists, have reached Rome
from the country. Nearly all the
deputies are in town, and Capriani,
the socialist leader, has boldly de.
clared that proposals will be SUBJ
mitted in the chamber of deputies
to impeach Premier Crispi and his
ministers upon the charge of mis-.
management of the Abyssinian
campaign.
The chamber OF deputies is crowd
ed and the galleries are packed
with excited throngs.
The crowds outside every now
and again are raising cries OF "down
with the governor p "death to Bar
atieri - etc., and from the gal.
leries.
Previous to the entering of the
ministers, number of persons
were elected by the police, for ut
tering similar cries.
Almost Immediately after the
appearance OF the premier, who
was greeted with cheering by some
OF his supporters and by cries of
derision from opponents, 1t was
announced that the cabinet had
resigned and that the king
had accepted its resignation. This
announcement was followed by
loud cheers, which were heard by
the crowds outside, and being un-
derstood, were taken up and re-
iterated far and wide.
Some moments elapsed before
the cheering subsidized and even
then loud and excited shouts from
the Leftists continued for a time.
Premier Crispi gazed calmly on
the shouting, cheering deputies, as
if such demonstrations was quite
an ordinary occurrence, and whom
he was again able to make himself
heard, he added: "The ministers
will remain at their posts until
their successors are appointed"
More cheers and shouts of dis
approval followed this statement,
after which the president of the
chamber asked that the house adj
journ until the crown has decided
upon the successors of the minis
tiers who had just announced their
resignation.
The Leftists raised storm of
protest against this proposition,
saying the government should be
impeached; that the public were
entitled to know who was respon.
sible for the disaster in Abyssinia;
and that there was no excuse for
not making public promptly all
the facts in the possession OF the
ministers; but when the protest of
the Leftists had been exhausted
the house adjourned, pending the
appointment Of new cabinet.

CARDINAL SATOLLI.

From Thousands.

From Thousands.
DENVER, Col, March 5.-The re-
ception to Cardinal Satolli in
Denver has been perfect ovation.
He was accompanied from Santa
Fe by Archbishop Chappelle and
Father Francolon, and at Colorado
springs he was met by Editor
Coleman, Of the Colorado Springs
Catholic, who provided him
with a special Pullman to bring
him to Denver. AT Denver he
was met by Archbishop Matz
and crowd of citizens. I'm
mediately after the arrival of the
party a reception was given at
Logan Avenue church, attended
by the clergy, Catholic societies
and hundreds of school children.
Bishop Matz welcomed the papal
representative and the latter re-
sponded in Italian. The ceremony
over, Bishop Matz entertained the
cardinal and score of clergymen
at luncheon.
At the reception last night the
spacious rotunda OF the Brown
Palace hotel, with its seven gal
leries, was insufficient to accomo-
date the thousands eager to pay
their respects to the distinguished
prelated. Addresses of welcome
were made by Hon. l.. E. John
son, for the laity. and Bishop
Matz for the clergy. Cardinal
Satolli responded in Italian, the
substance, of his address being
repeated afterward in English by
Archbishop Chappelle. Cardinal
Satolli will remain in Denver I'M
til Friday.
