TIE CUBAN WAR;

Every Evidence show, that tho InSur-
gents arc stnI Advancing Toward iiH-
vhnH.
HAVANA, Jan. 1.-The news received
from the front to-day tends to confirm
previous deductions made regarding
the movements of the insurgents. 1t IS
admitted once more that the Cubnns
are again marching westward and with
the intention, apparently, of pushing
for Los Paleu, a small town on the rail-
road leading TO dHihes. and well west
ward of MatanZas and the town OF
Alfonso XIII. Pales is slightly sopth-
ward and little to the west Of Ca
bezns, the most westerly point yet
reached by the insurgents, and where
they are reported TO have burned the
railroad station day or so ago.
The Spanish officials explain this
movement westward by saying that the
insurgents intend to return eastward
towards the province Of Santa Clara,
through the northern part OF the saGua
district. But as this would be the most
rounabout and utterly incomprehenai-
bio way OF proceeding eastward, the
fEsends OF the insurgents ridicule the
idea and continue insisting that the
forces OF Gomez and Maceo are steadily
pushing westward.

row for the murder OF Mrs. Buchanan,
q young widow TO whom he was engag-
ed to be married, to-day made state
mcnt 10 his spiritual advisers-Revs.
Donahuc and Sklnlngs. He thanks the
newspapers foe their fair treatment OF
his case. and the court and jail officials
for their kindness since his arrest and
conviction. He makes a special request
that Revs. Donahue and SkilllngS. at
tend the execution and that after the
body Is pronounced dead by tho ply
siclans, they feel the pulse and make
assurance doubly sure thut he is dead.
After which the reverend gentlemen
aTNs TO conceal the discoloration which
the rope makes about Woodley's neck,
and see that he Is presentably laid out
In his collin; see that the coffin lid ls
securely fastened, and. at the grave,
Just before interncnt, open the coffin
again, to make certain that dummy
has not been by any means substituted.
The murderer declares himself alb
normally afraid OF the disscctiuS knife.
and fears that means may be resoried
to which would put his body In the
hands otmedlcal students.
AS TO his life and crime, WOOdley
states that he Is OF n respectable family
In the east and had n Christian train

Ing. He states that the shooting OF

mans father. In front room. he went
into tho kitchen and shot his intended
wife, not realizing at the time what he
wns doing. He claims he had no ill-wili
toward the woman, but on the contrary
loved her dearly.
He Is anxious for the newspaper men
who may attend the execution to know
that he does not fear death and goes
to the scafrDld with the knowledge that
his being hanged Is inevitable. and in
accordance with the law, Should he
appear TO tremblc while going through
