NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 13.-A Sun
special from Key West says: General
Weyler, acting under instructions from
the home Government to proceed to the
front, Immediately left for Mariel by sea.
After leaving Mariel he crossed the trocha
and proceeded to Guanaiay, where he
placed himself at the head of the Spanish
forces and marched into the interior with
$4,000 men. He took the field as com.
mander-in-chief of the comb mbined forces
under General Arolas, NunoE, Aguila and
Echague.
An attack was made on the camp of
Maceo, who was strongly fortified in the
hills of Pinar del Rio. General Maceo
had been notified of the coming attack by
his lleutenants, Delgado and Diaz, and
their advance guards Maceo immedi-
ateiy prepared to give the attacking col
umn q warm reception.
General Ec ague attacked Maceo on the
right. General M lguizo attacked the
stronghold from the left. General Maceo
had 500 sEarpshooters with him, who
singled out the Spanish generals Echapue
and Melguizo and shot them down. Gem
eral Weyler, it is reported, was slightly
wounded in the leg. This battle lasted
several hours and heavy losses are re-
ported on both sides. Maceo succeeded
in routing Weyler and his troops. The
loss of the two Spanish generals had the
desired effect and they made hasty re-
treat.
The result of this battle has caused
great excitement in Havana and strong
protests have been forwarded to the home
Government against the retention of Gen.
eral Weyler as Captain-GeneraI of Cuba
by some of the Spanish citizens of the
island.
The report that Maceo had left his
forces and gone to Maxine Gomez is
without foundation. He Is still with his
forces in the Pinar del Rio district at his
stronghold. General Weyler is expected
home at his palace momentariiy. Runor
has 1t that he will at once be recalled by
the home Government.

ct between General Weyler's troops and

Funds to Fight Cstbnns Can't Be Secured
From European Bankers.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 13.-Dow.
Jones & Co., the Walistreet financial news
agents, gave out the following statement
yesterday: A foreign banker, with the
best sources OF information, tells US that
all the prominent bankers of Europe nave
decided not to loan Spain any further
money to prosecute the fight in Cuba. He
thinks that the Cuban war will come TO an
end soon for lack OF funds to prosecute it.
The European markets are more or less
demoraized by the great fall in Spanish
securities, particularly in Paris. where
Spanish credit has been terminated. He
concludes that if European bankers will
not furnish Spain vii h money for domestic
rebellion in Cuba they certainly would not
furnish Spain with money for war against
the United States.

CHAPTER NN

The summer began TO wane, and as
August drew to close the world Of Lon
don at large forgot the murder of Walter
Cundall
1t forgot it because 1t had SO man,
other things to think about, because il had
its garden parties and fetes, and Henley
and GoodwOod: and because, after that,
the exodus set in, and the Continent,
Scotland and Cowes, as we'll as all the
other seaside resorts claimed its atten.
ton.
1t is true one incident had come to
light which had given a FLIP to the dying
curiosity of the world and society, but
even that had scarcely tended to rouse
fresh interest in the crime
This incident was the discovery that
Lord Penlyn was the heir to all Of the
dead mans vast wealth.
The news had come out gradually
through different channels and il had set
people talking. but even then-at this ad-
vanced state of the London season-it
had scarcely aroused more than a pa ssiny
tiutter OF excitement.
And society explained even this fact to
its own satisfactiOn-perhaps because it
had. by now, found SO many other things g
OF more immediate, and Of fresher, inter.
est.
Cnndall had been, it said. a man of
superbly generous impulses, one who
seemed to delight in doing acts of munif
cence that other men would never dream
of: what more natural thing for him to
do than TO leave this great wealth to the
very man who had won the woman he
had sought for his wife?
Was it not at once a splendid piece of
magnanimity, a glorious example of how
one might heap Goals OF fire on those who
thwarted us-was it not truly noble
way OF retaliating upon the woman he
loved. but who had no love for him?
She would. through his bequest to her
husband that was 10 be, become enorm.
ously rich. but she could never enioy the
vastness OF those riches without remem
oering whence they came; every incident
in her life would serve to remind her Of

His science Was a Little ON.

One night q young man In Divinity
Hall at Yale undertook. with a toy
rifle, to hit a lamp. But his aim was
poor and the ball passed through the
window Of an eminent and venerable
professor of science and imbedded IT,
self in the wall.
This was the opportunity for the pro
fessor and for science. He, too Set to
work and computed the curve, and
with the exact skill Of infallible fig
ures he traced the ball right back to
the room of an innocent colleague, who
didn't even know the rife had been
fired
The unfledged minister fatly denied
all knowledge Of the affair. But men,
even ministers, have been known to
make denials in self-defense, and the
professor had the proof with him. There
was the bullet, there were the marks
of its course, and there was the com.
putation worked out.
1t looked as If a pulpit career was to
be nipped in the bud. But the guilty
student heard what was going on. He
called on the professor. confessed the
offense. pointed out that the man Of
science was 200 feet out In his COM
putatiOn, and advised that the matter
be dropped right where 1t was. And
that was done.-Hartford Courant.
