HAVANA, Nov. 24.-The first definite
pronouncement from Captain General
Weyler since he took the field in Pinar
del Rio was secured by the correspon-
dent of Ell Liberal of Madrid in an in
terview at Jaca, near San Cristobal,
Saturday. General Weyler asserted
that he was highly pleased with the
results of his campaign in Pinar del
Rio SO far. He announced he expected
to remain to conduct active operations
in Pinar del Rio province for fifteen or
twenty days longer, adding: "Wait
until Christmas. BY that date we
shall have dealt q mortal blow to the
revolution"
When asked about the whereabouts of
Antonio Maceo, General Wyler replied
that he was southwest of the railway
line and that he also avoided an en-
gagement with the Spanish troops
even when he occupied an advantage
Gus position. In closing he praised
the department of the troops in his
command and also expressed delight
with the success of SPANS internal
loan.
LONDON. Nov. 23.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Standard says the
government has instructed Captain
General Weyler that it is expedient,
for reasons of international and do
nestle politics, that he should not re-
turn to Havana until he shall have
achieved something decisive against
Maceo in Pinar del Rio. The CORE
spondent adds that the plan is to there
after clear the provinces of Havana,
Matanzas and Santa Clara during the
winter sufficiently to protect the to-
baccO and sugar crops and to make a
final effort next winter to pacify the
Eastern provinces.

Different indeed was she to the i'll
clad and travel-stained girl who had
been our companion for SO many weeks.
Now she was dressed in robe OF snowy
white bordered with embroidery OF the
royal green and having the image OF
the heart traced in gold thread on the
breast. On her feet were sandals, also
worked in green, while round her
throat, wrists, waist, and ankles
shone circlets of dead gold. Her dark
hair no longer fell loose about her, but
was twisted into q simple knot and con-
fined in little golden net, and from
her shoulders hung q cloak OF pure
white feathers.
Zibalbay entered soon after followed
by the two Indians bearing food. He
was simply dressed in a white toga-
like robe, similar to that which had
been given to the senior and myself, a
cloak of black feathers, his shoulders
covered, and round his neck was hung a
massive gold chain, to which was at
| tached the emblem of the heart also
| fashioned in plain gold.

"such as it is Be seated. Nay, daugh-
| ter, you need not stand before me. We
| are Still fellow wanderers, all OF us, and
ceremony can wait till we are come to
the City of the Heart"
Then we sat down and the Indians
waited on us. What the dishes con-
sisted OF we did not know, but after our
long privations it seemed to us that we
had never eaten SO excellent a meal.
Already difference to the senor could
be seen in Zibalbays mode OF address.
Formerly he had called him 'senor," or
even ''friend;" tonight when speaking
to him he used word which meant
ssforeigner," or unknown one" and
even myself he called by name without
adding any title of respect.
'sCome hither," said Zibalbay to the
Indian, when he had handed us some
cigarettes. tStart now to the borders
of the lake and advise the captain d
! the village of the corn growers that hi'
lord has returned again, commanding
him in my name to furnish four travel

wriggled forward along the tioor. Then
she rose to her feet, and picking up her
linen robe, crept toward the entrance
to the cave, where she put on her gar.

her.
