ing ShOans.

Rome, March 12.-Gen. Baraticri has
arrived at Massowah in a physically and
morally Frustrated condition. He ad
mitted to a correspondent of the Tribuna
that he had yielded to rash impulse in
making the attack which led to the de
feat at Adowa. He also admitted he had
no direct orders from the government.
He knew nothing of Gen. Baldissera's
coming at the time, and therefore was
not influenced by any question OF
amours propose, but solely by the diff
culties of revictualing, which would
have compelled retreat and have open.
ed the road to the ShOans. All of the
generals, he said, were confident that
even a partial victory would put an end
to an untenable position and would
cause the Shoans to withdraw. He deeply
deplored the disaster, but had nothing to
reproach himself with, and was ready to
meet any charges and endure to the end
the consequences of his misfortuues.

MACEO's MOVEMENTS.

Havana, March II.-Antonio Maceo
is once more in Havana province. 4es-
terday it was announced that Capt. Gen.
Weyler would shortly remove his head
quarters from Havana to Matanzas, in
order to more conveniently direct the
operations against the insurgents who
have retreated into Santa Clara. Mean
time Maceo and his followers, including
Bandera and La Crete, seem to have
turned back on their road, going through
the line of troops like small fish through
the meshes of a seine, and made their
way across the entire province of Man
tanzas.
Before ne encountered a force of
troops to oppose him he was at Nueva
Pasa, fairly across the Mantanzas Dor
der, and in Havana province again.
Here he met the battalion of Almanac,
with whom he had a brush, leaving
seven killed, and proceeded on his way.
Maxine Gomez has not accompanied
the present countermarch, according
TO the report received here, but is how
ering around the borders of sCienaga

Washington, D. c., March I6.-Sena-
tor Cannon today asked for and received
unanimous consent to bring up the re-
spouse from Secretary Hoke Smith TO
his resolution of inquiry in the Uintah
and Uncompahgre reservations matter
and had it referred to the Indian affairs
committee. Senator Cannon made an
address of five minutes, in which he
vigorously criticised the secretary of the
interior for his lack of courtesy to the
senate in sending communication to
that body, in answer to resolution,
which evaded the question put and as
sumo to put responsibility upon the
president, when the matter was in his
hands, and the fact was that no COM
munication had ever been made to the
president in the matter. Senator Can
non regretted that it was possible to
appoint as secretary of the interior a
man who knew absolutely nothing
about western conditions and western
affairs, and give him jurisdiction over
them The senator protested, in the
name of the people of Utah, against
having appropriations charged to the
western people and squandered in
ridiculous man Ter by incompetent and
non-working officials, as had character
lied the expenditures so far made for
the Uintah and Uncompahgre commits
sion.
The matter will come up again to-
morrow, when it will doubtless be
referred to the Indian committee, which
will take the matter under advisement.
A call upon the secretary to appear
before the committee in explanation of
his course in the reservation matter may
be looked for in the near future.
Senator Clark of Wyoming today re-
ported favorably senator Cannon's bill to
provide times and places for holding
Hunted States courts in Utah. with few
minor amendments.
