HAVANA, Nov. 22.-The first pro-
nouncement from Captain-General
Weyler since he has taken the field in
person in Pinar del Rio, was secured by
the correspondent Of Ell Liberal, of
Madrid, in an interview with the cap
tain general at Jaca, near San Cristo-
bal, yesterday. General Weyler as
serted that he was highly pleased with
the results of his campaign in Pinar del
Rio so far. He announced that he ex-
pected to remain to conduct active op-
erations in Pinar del Rio province for
fifteen or twenty days longer adding:
"Wait until Christmas. BY that date
we shall have dealt mortal blow to
the revolution"
When asked as to the whereabout of
Antonio Maceo, General Weyler replied
that he was southwest of the railway
line, and that he always avoided an en-
gagement with the Spanish troops, even
when he occupied an advantageous po-
sition.
In closing the interview, General
Weylsr praised the department of
troops in his command He also ex-
pressed delight with the success of
Spains internal loan
Maceo's staff are Salazar, of Santiago
de Cuba; Pope of Manzanillo, and also
who was killed in tho engagement at
Soroa a lawyer named Trexes. The
latter was acting chief of staff for the
insurgent general since Miro's illness.
GREAT PROWESS SHOWN.
MADRID, Nov 22.-According to ad-
vices from Hayana, General Weyler has
occupied the insurgent positions in Pi-
i IT. 4 l,nr lcpf NOV rod q
in that province.
A FINAL EFFORT.
LONDON, Nov. 22.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Standard says the
government has instructed Gen. Wey-
Ter that 1t is expedient,- for reasons of
international and domestic politics, that
lie should not return to Havana until he
has achieved something decisive against
Maceo. The correspondent asserts
that it is the plan thereafter to clear
the provinces of Havana, Matanzas and
Snta Clara during the winter sufficient
ly to protect the tobacco and sugar
crops, and to make final effort next
winter to pacify the eastern provinces
The British government meditates the
appointment of commission to inves-
tigate on the spot the critical condition
of the sugar industry in the West In
dies.
PROTEST AGAINST INSULT.
NEWCASTLE, Del, Nov. 22.-It has
been learned here that the duke of Te-
tuan, Spain's minister of foreign affairs,
has cabled to Senor de LONE, minister
to the United States, at Washington,
to protest energetically to the American

TIRED OF HER PRINCE

PARIS, Nov. 22.-Action for divorce
has commenced by Prince Joseph of
Caraman- -Chaimay, a Belgian noble
man, against his wife, the princess of
Caraman- Chaimay, who was formerly

tiful woman, who inherited a large for
tune from her father and who was
great favorite in Partisan society. The
suit for divorce has brought a story of
the abduction of the princess by a Hun
garian gypsy violinist. 1t is reported
that the princess was eccentric to the
degree of being mentally unbalanced.

A RAINFALL IN RAJPUTANA
Promises Relief From the Distress OF
the Famine
An Inch and Half of Rain During the
Coming Ten Days Would
Relieve Matters.

BOMBAY, Nov. 22.-Rain has fallen
in Rajputana and is also expected in
central Asia 1t is believed the distress
of the famine will diminish where it has
rained, but will not be totally removed.
The fall in the tempera ture is increasing
the plague.
A CROP REVIEW.
LONDON, Nov. 23.-A dispatch from
Allanabad, India, to the Times says:
The storm has caused a rainfall right
through eastern Rahjupana that reach
ed the western parts of the northwestern
provinces. On Friday rain had fallen al
Meejit and a fair rain at Agria. This
will be Of the highest value, as Agria was
suffering severely from drought. There
sare signs that the rain will extend far
ther. Here the clouds have been banked
for the last few days, but only few
sdrops have fallen, though there were
Showers on Saturday night farther
north.
K. =, The following is an accurate view of
the position of the northwest provinces
and Oudh: The first area where there is
the greatest failure of crops has $4,000
square miles, with a population of 13.00,
900. Here the famine may be acute. The
second area, where there is a severe fail
ure, covers 5000 square miles and the
population is 13, 100000. The third area,
where there is considerable failure, has
$4,000 square miles and has population
of 12,000OO0. The divisions which are
worst off are Faisabed, Lucknow and
Allanabad, with portion of Agria not
protected by irrigation. The balance of
the provinces are those protected by
canals which do not depend so much on
the rice crop. Here there has been little
failure, though the dearness will press
heavily upon the poorer classes of the
Khalif.
The crops in Meerut division are excel
lent and are probably the best on record
AS for the prospects an inch and a half
of raining the next fortnight would re-
duce the difficulties by one-half 10 three
fourths. Favorable rains at the end Of
the year would relieve from four to eight
per cent of the population. The govern
ment is preparing for the worst. Should
the drouth prevail until April rise in
prices would follow

ANNA HELD IN CHICAGO

Anna Held showed herself and sang

"She skips, she frolicks. she coquettes,

A MAMMOTH PARADE.
Further Preparations for the Demon
stratfOn Saturday.


The indications are that the Republican
parade Saturday night will be the biggest
political demonstration that Marion county
has ever turned out. Those who have the
arrangements in hand say that the pros
poets for mammoth demonstration are
more than promising and could not be bet
ter. The fireworks in the parade will be
an unusually interesting feature. Instead
of having pyrotechnical displays scattered
down the line they will be centralized at
uniform periods throughout the parade, and
will be touched off at street crossings: 1t is
thought that by this manner of display
more people will be enabled to witness the
pyrotechncs than if they We're touched off
while going through streets Every day
notices are coming in from the country ana
surrounding cities that large delegations
will arrive during the day Saturday.
The local business men will have long
line of floats in the parade. The Parry
Manufacturing Company has slgnihed Its
intention of having about thirteen floats,
and the Jenney Elector Motor Company
will have very fine electrical float. Gilt.
symbolical of gold. will be the predominant
color used in the decorations, and the f1oats
will all be got up in gorgeous style. The
conn any of cavalrymen which w. e. Nc
Crazy is organizing now numbers over 200,
and more are constantly joining Nothing
is being left undone to make this the big
gest parade that has ever marched through
