Given Great Demonstration in Havana
and Enthusiastically Cheered by the
People,


Havana, December 18.-Ohcial adivoes
from the province of Pinar del Rio are to

ed. The Spanish troops pursued them

London, Decem ber lathe whole force
of the Radical party is to bs directed at
the earliest moment of the resumed par
liamentary proceedings against Mr.
Chamb berlain and the government POLICY
towards the Transvaal. Behind the at
tack on the governments action general
y there is bitter personal hatred towards
the colonial secretary. Time has not soft
ened tho feelings which elected. at every
mention of his name in the meetings of
the National Liberal club, the cry OF
" udas. So every possible advantage
is taken to show him up as q prevaricat-
ing and unscrupulous politician. The
Labouchere clique think they have now
got him ON the hip in connection with
the Jameson raid revelations. The Eng
lish papers call them revelations, al
though nothing much that 10 new can
be CLEANED fr 3m the most recent develop
ments of the controversy. Put in brlef,
the newest form of the charges against
MIR. Chamberlain is that Sir John Will

lain's assurance that he approved of the
movement and would support it, There
are high hints from the Radical side
that another eminent politician, who sa "
Mr.. Rhodes while he was in England,
pledged himself to support the expedit-
ion. Here Sir William Vernon Harcourt
is aimed at. There certainly exists cor
respondence, which Sir John Willoughby' 8
solicitors hold, showing that Jameson,
Willoughby and other leaders Of the raid
had been led to believe THAI Mr.. Cham
berlain, for ths government, and Sir
William Vernon Haroourt, for the oppo-
sition, had given their sanction to the at
tack on the Transyaal. But it CAD be
stated with absolute certainty that there
exists no documentary proof duplicating
either Mr.. Chamberlain or Sir William
Vernon Harcourt. The evidence which
will be brought before the parliamentary
committee will consist chiefly Of letters
passing between Sir John Willoughby,
Mr.. Jameson and brother officers anent
intervie wsa with Mr.. Cham berlain, Sir
William Vernon Harcourt and others
Neither Mr.. Chamberlain nor Sir Will
liam will be found to have given himself
away by documentary evidence.

Irishmen VIII Protest.
Mr.. Dillon will raise debate on the
address in reply to the queens spesch
opening the session OF Parliament calling
attention to the report of the commission
on the financial relations between Great
Britain and Ireland. The Irish party
contemplates no division on the debate.
But when the budget comes before the
House the combined Irish sections will
insist upon an immediate adjustment OF
Irish finance as reported upon by the
commission. Tine systematio spoliatio1n
of Ireland of about three millions sterl-
ing annually, is too much even for Irish
Unionists. MIR. Balfnur probably will
claim that the adjustment forms part OF
the coming "Irish local government re-
form bill.'

Washington, December 13.-L1ttie De-
side the death of Maceo was discussed
In Washington today among the pontlo-
ians. The sentiment here, among all
GLASSES, IL decidedly with the the insur-
gents and the hope OF success OF the
Cubans is expressed on all sides. The
subject Of Maceo's death will be brought
up in Congress tomorrow, most propap-
ly in the Senate, where resolutions recog-
nizing Cuban belligerenoy are pending.
It is less difficult to bring the subject
up there than IN the House where the
rules restrict action.
Chairman Hit of the House foreign
affairs committee, was not in position
tonight, he said, to discuss the subject
Of Maceo's death. The news was too
conflicting and he was in favor OF wait
ing until the details of tho circumstances
CONCERNING Maceo were received through
the United States official channels. Mr..
HIT is cautious. He voices the general
sentiment Of the conservative kelement
in both parties.
In both branches of Congress large
mum ber are ready to recognize Cuban
belligerency whether the Maceo incident
proves correct or not.
Senator Blanchard of Louisiana. re-
presents this element He declared to-
night, he was ready at any time to vote
for resolution recognizing either the
belligerenoy of the CubanS, or better
still, their Independence.
Senator Platt of Connecticut said the
mendacious character of the news from
Cuba for the past six months and It's
utter unreliablness prevented him from
official Information confirming Maceo's 8
death. Nobody knows, he declared
with emphasis whether Maceo is dead
or alive. II dead, do not know how
he met his death or any of tho essential
details upon which to base an intelli-
9 ent opinion, and until do know, I
will speak as to what ought to be done,
or indicate how will act.
Messrs. Mcmillan Of Tennessee and
Berry OF Kentucky, favored some action
by the government which would show
the world that the United States did not
stand idly by and by it's silence approve
of the methods of the Spanish govern
ment against Cuba. 1t is not believed
that resolution to investigate the man
ner in which Maoeo met his death would
be offered in Congress. Even Cuban
sympathizers do not think such mat
ter is within the power Of this govern
ment as Maceo was Spanish subject.
and his death, If he is dead, occurred
on Spanish soil; but it will be within
the power of the United States consul
general at Havana to institute such in
uuirieg, and for Congress to call for and
ACT apen his report. The matter will
doubtless take this course.
