Not Driven Back to Havana.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-The dispatch
from Jacksonville. Fla, reciting that a ci-
pher telegram has been received from Ha-
vana in which 1t is stated that General
Weyler was driven to return to Havana
through fear, is discredited here. The
Spanish view of the return of General
Weyler is entirely different. In the first
place, it is said that no cipher kilograms
can be sent from Havana, except by rep
resentatives of foreign governments to the
governments they represent. This, it is
plaiEed, would be true of any place in tin e
of war. Again, it is pointed out that Gen.
Weyler is not only commander of the
troops. but governor general of Cuba. and
in Havana there is a large amount of Of
flcial business needing his attention. 1t is
stated that in the campaign just made
Weyler has been to the stronghoids of the
insurgents. passed through many towns
and destroyed their supplies. From the
Spanish point of view, the war at pres
ent has res Jlved itself into chasing small
bands of insurgents about the country, and
il would be absurd for the captain general
to place himself at the head Of one COM
pany or another of these troops ard follow
the struggling bands of insurgents from
one cover to another. General Campos was
quite severely criticized because he alb
sented himself from Havana for such long
periods. AS to the assertion that General
Weyler says it is too hot to fight. it is said
that the rainy season has not yet ended i'm

him. The defendant sat for II min

Cotton Acreage.

The last of May finds cotton practi-
cally all in, with the fact established
that the acreage is away ahead OF last
year. The government report indi-
Gates that nearly Is per cent more
ground is in cotton than a year ago,
while many in the trade believe the
increase is even greater. These prem
ises point to an acreage about as large
as that of '94, 5000, 600 acres in excess
of '95 and 81 millions greater than in
'93. The acreage of '95 was placed at
20, 191, 900 acres. Applying to this
an increase Of lis per cent, the gov
ernment's present estimate, probable
'96 acreage of 3,l79, 900 acres results
Should conditions remain propltious
throughout the crop year and one bale
be harvested for every 2! acres, as was
the case in the 81 full year, these hg.
ures hint at commercial crop from
the cotton now in the ground Of near
ly $500, 900 bales or nearly as great as
that of two years ago.
Much may transpire, however, be-
tween now aud Sept. /, a0d these hg-
ures are in 10 wise given as proba-
bic crop, but simply point to what
might result, providing the history OF
former wears of full acreages is repeat
ed. Texas, the largest producer,
showed an acreage of 115 per cent.
compared with '95, according to the
Nav government bulletin, Mississippi
ITO. Louisiana 100, Alabama and South
Carolina each III, Georgia 113, North
Carolina III, Virginia 107. The less
important states all show big in
crease. including Florida 143, Arkan-
sas 1913, Tennessee 1877, Missouri l4l,
Indian Territory 159. Average Tor
the entire country 114.S. Planting
has been earlier than usual in most OF
the cotton states, but there is complaint
of drouth in portions Of Texas and
Louisiana and fairly good progress
elsewhere, with the season generally
favorable.
The amount of cotton coming into
sight from the old crop is surprisingly
large for the time Of year, but it isco
fdently believed that most of 1t has
now appeared. Ordinarily, at this
late date. 95 per cent has come into
sight. The actual amount from Sep
tember to May 5 was 6,71S,O0O bales,
and carrying out this ratio CONNER
cial crop up to September is sugges-
tive of about Z, 100, 900 bales from the
harvest fields OF '95. The statistical
position is therefore rather strong ow-
ing to the smaller available supplies
and this in measure offsets the bear
ish tendency of operators who other
wise would endeavor to break the
market, owing to the brilliant outlook
for the next crop. While the market
at present is uneyentful there are
slight threatenings OF manipulation
or possible corners in Liverpool and
New York on account of the relatively
small supply expected to be on hand
at the end of the season.
