And Another.

HAVANA. March 26.-Captain-Gen-
eral Weyler has once more issued a
proclamation. He proclaims that in
view of the fact that the insurgents
avoid engagements with the troops and
devote themselves entirely to acts of
lncendiarism, he has resolved to deal
with them as incendiaries and bandits,
applying the rule set in his former proc
lamatfon. Maceo is now in the western
end of the island between the west
coast and the military line running
through Mariet, Majana Guanajay
Waterloo, Artemisa and Neptune. The
guardianship Of this line has been en-
trusted to General Arolas, who is rid
ing along with his chief of staff and a
column of troops numberinf $4,000 men.
This renders Maceo's position very
critical, and the Spanish authorities
once more express their confidence that
they have the insurgents in a trap
from which they cannot escape.
Gomez is at present near Guines, but
is going westward.

The Territories Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 26-
The statehood bills for the admission of
the territories of Arizona and New
Mexico will be again passed upon by
the house committee on territories at
the meeting next Thursday. Today the
committee decided without any formal
vote to take the bills up next week and
vote upon them a second time. 1t is
claimed by the advocates of statehood
that the committeeman who voted
against the bill have come to the con-
clusion that the best plan will be to lay
them before the house and let the house
take the responsibility of passing or re-
iecting them. This course has been
advocated by some of the party lead
ers in the house.

CUBAN CHATTER.
Several Very Important Events
Within the Past Few Days,

HAVANA, via Key West. Fla.
March '26.-The most important events
in Cuba within week have been the
successful landing of the, Collosao and
the Callixto Garcia expeditions, the one
near Cardenas at Varadero Beach, the
other the Bermuda, in the harbor of
Mariel, on the north coast of Pinar
del Rio, only a few miles west of the
border line of Havana province.
To the insurgents, strong already in
everything but equipment and ammu-
milton, these successful landings are
likely to be more far reaching in their
effects than the winning of a great
battle. The landing of the expedi-
tons, particularly the cargo of the
Bermuda, means that empty cartridge
belts will be filled in a thousand rebel
camps, and that thousands of sturdy
fellows, hitherto unarmed, will now
carry modern rifles, and that dynamite
will again become a factor in this war
fare
The Bermuda has so far as known,
landed her entire cargo without hav-
ing been molested or even CHALLENGED.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator

mittee on the bill for the admission of

600 square miles, or greater area than
is comprised in the ten states of Rhode
Island, Delaware. Connecticut, New Jer-
sey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Maryland, West Virginia and
South Carolina combined.
Its resources are represented as unlim-
tied, comprising much rich agricultural
land, 100000 acres of grazing lands and
the largest unbroken forest area in the
United States, as well as rich deposits of
gold. silver, copper, lead, onyx. marble
and precious stones.
The population is placed at $4,000, and
is represented as rapidly increasing.
The territory is said to be prosperous.
The people of the territory. the report
says, are almost a unit for statehood.
