MAcEo's DYNAMITE GUN
$4,000 More Spanish Troops
sEn Route For Cuba.
IMPORTANT RESULT EXPECTED
WeyIer Claims to Have Every Approach
to The Mountain Recesses
Commanded by Spanish
Troops.

Havana, Nov. 11.-Captain-Ge General
Weyler, according to dispatch from the
front has captured the insurgent strong
holds in the mountains of lei Rubi, in the
province of Pinar del Rio. A brigadier-
general, seven officers and Al soldiers
were wounded. No further details were
obtainable as this message is sent.
Washington, Nov 11.-The renewed
reports that the United States was about
to intervene in the Cuban conflict are not
confirmed in official quarters, nor is there
any evidence to indicate that at the
present time the United States has under
consideration any change in its policy.
The only available information reaching
here is that the Spanish military opera
tions. began early in October, are about
to go forward with greater energy than
at any previous time. Important results
are expected from this forward move
ment within the next three weeks. There
are now 25,000 more Spanish troops en-
route for Cuba. They will be distributed
in the Western provinces. 1t is expected
that with these additional troops in posi-
ton the four Western provinces will be
completely garrisoned and occupied at
every point by the government troops.
The lull in operations within the last
few days is explained by a circumstance
not yet known. The insurgent leader,
Maceo, moved to the coast for the pur-
| pose of receiving a pneumatic dynamite
gun which had been landed with great
difficulty. The reports reaching here
show that the trials Of the gun failed to
show it to be formidable, the shot carry
| ing only 500 yards or less than the dis
tance carried by rifles. Under these cir
cumstances Maceo has retraced his steps
without the dynamite gun. Meanwhile
the Spanish forces have been divided into
two main divisions, one in the south and
| the other in the north Of the island.
The main purpose of the troops has
been to occupy the mountain passes, and
this has proceeded SO rapidly that it is as
/ serted here positively that every approach
and progress to the mountain recess is
now commanded by a heavy force of
Spanish troops This plan of campaign Is
relied on to force the insurgents to fight
in the open country.
The civil authorities of Cuba have also
| undergone change within recent days.
| BY agreement between the leaders of
| the Liberal, Conservative and Home
Rule parties. constituting all the loyal
elements, they have been merged into one
| party known as the Party of the Com
mon Defense" The main feature Of
| agreement is the termination Of rebellion
before any plan of autonomy shall be
put into operation.
Havana, Nov. 11.-During the second
fortnight Of November, $4,000 additional
troops are being placed in the field to
| operate against the insurgents.

TEE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY NORTH CAR0INA DAILY PAPER
THE REPORT OF GEN. MILES.
Recommends That Coast Defences at
Wilmington be Strengthened.

Washington, Nov. lin his animal
report to the Secretary of War Major
General Miles, commanding the army.
says that fortunately during the year
the army has been called upon only to a
limited extent to act either against hos
tile Indians or against bodies OF men en-
gagged in violating the laws Of the United
States, or international treaty obligations.
The personnel of the army was never in
better condition, the percentage of viola
tiOns Of discipline has been exceedingly
small and the standard of enlisted men
is constantly improving. The care exer-
cised in obtaining suitable material il
shown by the fact that out OF 1920 ap-
pllcants for enlistment during the year,
only 1866 were accepted as qualified.
Gen. Miles again devotes a large por-
ton Of his report to the consideration OF
questions Of coast defence and he renews
fOrcibly all Of the recommendations on
that subject made in his former reports.
He says the appliances Of war have un-
derg0ne so great a change in thirty years
as to make it imperatively necessary to
change the entire character Of our forti-
fications and their armament as well.
The estimates that Gen. Miles says are
imperatively required to be allotted for
the next year for the work Of the ordi-
nance, engineers and quartermaster de-
partments at different coast points are
as follows
Portland, Me, S1,134, $50; Portsmouth,

Gen. Miles suggests that the enlisted
| strength Of the army be fixed at one sol
dier to every 1000 of population as q
minimum, the maximum strength not Ia
| exceed one soldier for every 1000 popula-
| ton; the strength to be determined with.

a VOID ELECTION.
THE BALLOTS WERE ACCIDENT
ALLY BURNED ELECTION NIGHT.
And't PolI-HoIders Substituted Other
Tickets by Quess--WiII the Vote
OF That Precinct be
Thrown Out?

Morehead City, n. c., Nov. 11.-(Spe-
cial. lit has just been learned that at
Piney Point precinct, Carteret county,
on November 3rd. just before the polls
were closed, one Of the judges, in lighting
his pipe, accidentally dropped the head of
a match in the county box, and when
the accident was discovered by them be-
fore the box could be opened, most of the
tickets had been burned. The judges,
four Republicans and two Democrats, de-
cided to guess at the number Of votes for
each candidate, and replace the burned
ballots by new ones.
Afidavits have been secured from each
of the six poll holders and judges setting
forth the above facts, and stating that the
replacing of the burned tickets was very
uncertain, owing to the great number Of
scratches.
The Republicans of the precinct are
very angry with the party who brought
this matter before the public as it was
considered an affair of their own. The
question is, will this throw out the box?
If so, it elects the Democratic member of
the Legislature, register of deeds and
surveyor. which completes the Demo
cratic county ticket.

The Popullst Senators Will Vote For
Tariff on Luxuries Consumed
by the Rich.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Senator Marion
Butler, IF North Carolina, in an inter
view to-day, expressed the opinion that
it was not possible for gold Senator to
be elected IN his State to succeed Sena-
tor Pritchard. The Populists in the Leg
islature hold the balance or power, and
they will declare in their caucus, says the
Senator, fer some man who is not only
straight silver man, but who is also for
an Income tax, and who is opposed to the
National Ea.ling system. The Senator
said be believed the Populists would
stand soliaiy for such man, and if there
are not enougA silver men in the Legis-
lature IL eeIae to their assistance TO
elect such 4 man, then the Legislature
will be tlcadloehed and 10 one will be
elected.
He also said chat he felt sure that the
Populists and free silver Republican SEN
ators would favor such a change IN the
present tariff law that may be necessary
to provide sufficient revenue, provided
the Republicans would agree TO have
the duty placed on the proper articles.
Upon what articles do You think the
tariff duties should be placed?' he was
asked.
Upon certain raw materials that are
now On the free list, or which are now
protected only by a small duty, and upon
certain luxuries that are consumed al
most exclusively by the rich, who now
pay practically no tax to support the gov
ernment9

day, by resolution, requested ex-Presi-

VENEZUELA ARBITRAToRS.
The King of Sweden to be the Fifth and
Final Arbitrator.

Washington, Nov. 11.-The exclusive
information by the Associated Press that
King Oscar H., of Sweden and Norway,
had been agreed on as the fifth and final
arbitrator in the Venezuelan controversy
and that the other four arbitratcrs would
be named by the judicial authorities of the
two countries, two by the Lord Chief
Justice and two by Chief Justice OF the
United States, has been fully verified
from authoritative sources and the Off
at an early day.
Those who are best acquainted with
the facts read with satisfaction the AS
soeiated Press report printed to-day con-
cerning the arbitration and stated that it
coveted all essential particulars and was
correct. The additional information can
be given that the agreemnt Is that King
Oscar H. will be the fifth or final arbi-
traitor with the understanding that il Lis
royal functions are suca rs to make it
undesirable to sit with the arbitrators
he will designate another, probably his
chief justice, to participate in the formal
meeting At the same time, it is the
King whom the two governments will re-
gard as the final arbitrator, even though
he should designate some one to serve
in formal capacity.
The personnel Of the judicial members
Of the common has not been determined
and no names are mentioned except that
the Solicitor General of England may
be one of those designated. This, how
ever, will be matter Of subsequent ad
justment, as the exact names do not Gp-
