HOW VIEWED IN HAVANA.

What WeyIers Return Means No One
Knows. Some Dissatisfaction Expressed.
Havana, Novem ber 24.-Ths report
circulated by the New York World to the
effect that the men captured on the
American hlibustering schooner Com
petitor had been retired by a court
martial. despite protest fled by Consul
General Lee, prior to his departure from
Havana, is absolutely without word of
truth. Only tine preliminary examina-
tions of the prisoners on their second
trial, as ordered by the supreme military
and naval tribunal in Madrid, have as
yet occurred. 1t Is not know when the
trials will take place.
Every effort has been made to learn the
true reasons for the return last night to
Havana of Captain General Weyler from
the Province of Pinar del Rio, but
nothing definite has transpired. All that
is known is that he came here on the
gunboat Legazpi from Marisl, accom-
panied by only one adintans. Tue rest of
his staff came by rail from Artemisa.
Gen. Weyler has made no official
declaration conce1 lining the condition of
affairs in the Province Of Pinar del Rio.
In an interview just before he left
Artemisa to board the Legazpi at Mariel,
ne said that he was satisfied with his
campaign. He had crossed to the south
and expected to meet Maceo and give
him combat. He had met only small
bands of, rebels who disappeared when
the Spanish troops came near them.
When questioned concerning the where
| abouts of Maoeo, Gen. Weyler said: "I
| do not know where he is. 1t ia certain
I did not meet him in either the hills or
dales of Pinar del Rio. Despite their
bravadoes, the rebels never fight, but al
ways flee upon the approach of our
| troops"
Gen. Weyler added that the supplies of
cattle obtained by the insurgents were
disappearing. The troops were capturing
and destroying all they saw. The mill
tary combinations planned by him re-
suited as he expected. All those oombi-
nations were not finished There would
be much less to do at the end of the year.
The press comments on the return Of the
/ captain general are very guarded as is
natural under the strict censorship exer-
oised.
| 1t is rumored that he will soon return
| to the feld. One report has 1t that the
chief reason for his return to Havana
| was pressing government business which
demanded his personal attention. Moth
| ing really definite is known and events
| In the near future are anxiously awaited.
Some dissatisfaction Is quietly expressed,
even by loyal lists. that Gen. Weyler, after
his long preparations to inflict crush
ing blow on Maoeo should now como
! back to the capital without even CATCH
| ing sight of the main body of the rebels.
| The rebel sympathizers are jubilant,
| believing Gen. Weyler's return signalizes
abandonment Of his personal leadership
of the campaign.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1896-11-25

an interview. Gen. Weyler stated that he
had returned from the Province of Pinar
del Rio, owing to the necessity OF settling
the question Of new issue Of notes by
the Spanish bank, and other urgent mat
ters. After these were settled he would
be ready to return to the field. He added
that he did not believe Macso had more
than six thousand men and that these
were scattered in remote positions.
The object of recent Spanish operations
had been the occupation of the hills and
passes and cutting off ofsthe supplies of
the insurgents. The few insurgents of
the provinces of LA Villas and Havana
were easily kept in check. There were
more rebels In Canaguey than in Las
Villas and Havana. The Spaniards had
little to loso there
Moreover the object of the insurgents
in gathering there might be to distract
attention from Maceo in Pinar del Rio.
At any rate he would crush the rebellion
in the latter province before dealing with
the insurgents elsewhere.

Argument on Question of Court Jurisdic-

Topeka, Kan. Novem ber 24.-When
the federal court convened this morning,
e. d. Kenna, general solicitor of the
Santa Fe, began an argument opposing
the motion to remand the Santa Fe re-
cetvership case back to Jefferson county

questions, and could not be properly tried

land law, upon which the suit Ia predict

conf1icted with the United States oonstr-
tuition az well as against the United

He explained that the law provided
that whenever twenty per cent. of stock

should be declared forfeited By the state

The Insurgent Chieftain More Than Hold
ing His Own in Cuba.

The Insurgent Chieftain More Than Hold
ing His Own in Cuba.
New York, November 24.-An evening
paper contains special despatch from
Jacksonville, Fla, stating that Maceo is
master of the situation in Pinnr del Rio,
province and it is intimated that be will
soon make move that will put Weyler
and Havana in peril.
The despatch adds that one Of Maoeo's
lieutenants named Aristada, has arrived
from Havana with dispatches for the
New York Junta. While he will say
little regarding the generals position.
enough has been gathered to know that
Maceo is more than holding his own.
Weyler makes no move unknown to the
patriot chief, while Mnceo keeps Weyler
guessing about him.
The Cuban commander is pursuing
guerrilla tactics, worrying Weyler with
feints and dashes. keeping the Spanish
troops constantly ON the alert. The
Americans with Maceo are doing rs
much to worry the Spaniards with their
sharpshooting and dynamite bombs as
double their number OF Cubans.

eRATIFiED AT M'klNLEvs ELECTION.
oooden Club Members Discusses American
Presidential Campaign,

London, November PA meeting OF
the Golden club was held today. Among
she speakers was Lord Farrer of Ah1n-
ger, formerly Sir Thomas Henry Farrer.
the author of "Free Trade Versus Fair
trade" and other economic works. Lord
farrer expressed his satisfaction that
Mr.. Chamberlain's proposal for an lm-
perial zollverein had fallen fat both at
home and in the colonies. AS he was op-
posed to free trade that meant only fres
trade with the colonies and protectlon
against foreign countries. He was gratl-
ned at the. election of Mckinley to the
American Presidency though he was
merely the lesser evil. If Bryan bad not
appeared as candidate he would nave
thought Mckinley the worst possible
man for President.
Lord Playrair said: "The issues at
stake in the recent. American Preslden-
uial election involved questions OF consti-
tutional government and the quesglon
of our faith in Democracy. II Bryan had
beenselected. THAT faith would pe snaG-
tered and q CONNER cial panic followed
which would hav beenIenormous. Far more
serious than commercial panic would
have been our loss of faith in the Demo-
cracy of the world"
Speaking of his personal observations
in United States during the Presidential
campaign. Lord Playfair said he felt re-
quried to say that the silverites were not
dishonest, but mistaken. Free trade was
not an issue In the oontest.with the ex-
ception that it was mentioned in one of
NJ cKinley's speeches. In view of the fact
that the pivot of the election was sound
money, the world ought. to feel glad of
the results. 1t would be long time, he
predited before the ardent Proteotionists
OF the United States seek to change the
existing tariff. The politics of the Unit
ed States had many questions OF their
own 10 solve and he had no doubt they
would take advantage of tho opporsuni-
ty to deal with the question of the CUR
rency. They were not likely to attempt
to bring about q revival OF high protec-
tion.
