IF General Maceo succeeds in cross

spite of the 10000 Spanish regulars

Weyler must confess as General Cam

general has sent word TO his friends
IN Havana that he will break through

when the irst showers OF rain fan

II Is certain that General Mnceo has
some sure means Of suddenly assem-
bling his rowing bands on this side of

colored paper ballooning and others by
messages.
There Is belief that General
Weyior Is out manouvcring and SPAIN
VIII presently welcome the friendly

TO death as incendiaries without proof

New York, April 2o.-A special to
the World from Chaumont, N. Y, says
though the Rev. W. NJ Cleveland, the
deposed pastor OF the Presbyterian
church in this village. preached his
farewell sermon to his rebellious flock
last night. It is not at oil certain that
1t was the last sermon he viii preach

Tor years to come. but not in the little
church over which he has presided the
last four years. Talk OF secession from
the troubled church Is rife. Indeed,
actual secessions have already begun.
Since the Rev. Mr.. Cleveland was dis
missed from his pastorate last Tues
day by the st. Lawrence Presbytery
six Influential and liberal members of
his congregation have given up their
peWs and many more are expected to
follow their example In the next few
DAYS. All OF these people are thick and
thin Cleveland supporters. Indeed
every citizen of the village excepting
the half dozen families who led the
opposition against him still stand by
the Presbyterian preacher, and there
Is serious talk OF erecting chapel
and engaging him to preach in 1t. A
committee OF citizens has waited upon
sition to him. He Is considering II.
me seceders declare that II Will be
impossible for them to Worship In the

way alone can he be vindicated I'm the
