Havana, Nov 30-No news concerning
the movements of Capt.-Gen. Weyler
later than that sent in these dispatches
yesterday has been received. He was
then reported to be marching westward
from San Cristobal in search of the rebel
forces. No insurgents had been met. The
Spaniards captured number of stray
cattle and destroyed some rebel planta-
tions and huts. There Is nothing to indi-
cate the whereabouts of Maceo's COM
mand, but 1t is thought they are retreat
ing before the advance of Gen. Weyler.
The war bulletins issued at the palace
today We're unimportant. They only re-
ported skirmishes in which the losses on
either side were trifing.
Rebels today blew up with dynamite
bridge near Zeiba Mocha, province of
Matanzas, while a train was passing over
It, The armored car attached to the
train was wrecked and one soldier
wounded. Thus far 278 members of the
Mango society, which Is made up of
criminals and ruff1ans of every descrip-
ton have been exied to the African
penal colonies This society was very ac-
tive towards and after the close OF the
ten year war, and its members have TAX
en- advantage Of the present condition of
affairs to commit all manner of crimes.
The authorities are making every effort
to extirpate them.
An order has been issued by the local
treasury to prevent the expectation of
tobacco grown in the provinces of Pinar

other provinces.
