already opposed to her rule, even IN
half-hearted manner. to become more De
termined in their opposition and more
anxious to go themselves INTO the iielo

Weyler apparently had little commence
in the majority Of the generals left here
by Campos, for he brought a dozen new
officers with him. and has already as
signed them to various important posts.
These new officers are from the Phliliplne
Islands, where in years gone by they nave
done yalient work for Spain, and earned
crosses galore. But they will find the Gu
ban rebels much different foes from the
mild-mannered islanders of the Pacific:
They will find them not mere natives OF
The soil striving to hold their gold from
the greedy grasp of the foreigner, but in
telligent and fearless men struggling for a
Christian freedom for which the sacrifice
of life is worthy.
Attention to Correspondents.
Weyler devoted his attention to the
American newspaper correspondents al
most as soon as he arrived Some Of them
will have to leave the island shortly, one
has already been summarily ordered out.
and those who remain must confine the
scope of their observations to the city OF
Havana. The war correspondent. who,
anxious to write ND for his journal actual
scenes Of the struggle, as well as being de-
sirous CT smelling powder on his own ac-
count, mounted mis- horse and rode away
with the column, is no more. Hereafter
he is war correspondent in name only.
He hangs about his Havana hotel goes at
certain hours to the palace, where official
reports are read TO him. picks a few items
from the local papers, already approved
by the government, and then, having his
message ready, at 8 o'clock each evening
he carries it to the censor for final sane
ton before it goes to the cable office.
The majority of the American newspaper
men here are disposed to be strictly impair
tial, as they should be, in the matter of
news but they fully appreciate their posi-
ton and know that only colored Spanish
reports will be allowed go over the wire

EMANCIPATION DAY.
A Meeting 10 Make the Arrangements
for It's Celebration.

Galileean FisEerman's Hall, at 3i6 Penn
sylyania avenue northwest, was the scene
of a meeting this morning. There was a
gathering of well-known colored men, who
had been selected by the various organiZa-
tons of the District to hold a convention
and decide upon the arrangements for the
celebration of Emancipation day. Especial
In numerous were the representatives of the
Perry H. Carson Invincible Club. This Or
yanization has branches In all parts of
the District, and eacn branch sent dele
gates As each of these delegates came de-
termined to choose their patron saint as the
chief marshal of the Emancipation day
parade the result was obvious TO man
with only half an eye before the meeting
was organized. Upon organization how
ever, IL was found that many delegates
" no had been chosen by organizations such
as the Hold Carriers Association and
others were not present. and II was also
announced that some societies had not yet
chosen their representatives. Consequently
1t was determined to take an adjournment
until Thursday morning at ii o'clock. at
The same place, when a full attendance is
expected. Col Perry Carson was present,
and said he expected the celebration would
be significant and appropriate. II wish

with his re-enforo ement Of 800 men. two
thirds cavalry. and that Gen. Jose Maceo
is in southern Matanzas moving westward
with much larger force.
The attempt to corner Gen. Antonio
Maceo in the province of Pinar del Rio by
the government troops was not only fail
ure in that respect, but an unwise move
ment on the part of the Spanish generals.
inasmuch as great body of troops were
massed between this city and Batabano.
leaving the central portion of the island
almost without government forces, and al
lowing Sanchez, Nunez and Jose Maceo to
march their several commands through
without meeting serious obstacles.
1t would appear now as though the rebel
generals desired to concentrate their forces
in Havana province and again draw near
the great Spanish stronghold. Weyler ap-
rarently anticipates this, and he goes to the
front today to look over the ground He
will prevent the reuniting of the forces if
he can, for he appreciates the fact that the
combined insurgent forces would be able,
even without artillery. to drive his army
back upon Havana. Such an event would
be the first signal of failure, and Weyler
does not propose to allow it If he can do
otherwise.
Opposing Forces.
The total number of rebels now in the
two provinces, Havana and Pinar del Rio
under Gomez, Maceo, Sanchez. Monez, Del
gado and Eduardo. must be in the neighbor-
hood of 22,OOO, Of which ever half is cavalry.
The Spanish have opposing them about
$4,000 troops, of which about $500 are cav
airy.
Every ship that arrives from Spain brings
horses for the army, but horses like men, in
this climate, must become acclimated. Over

THE COLD SNAP.
It's Little Warmer Than Yesterday

1t may not be known to the general pub
lie. but nevertheless the weather IS warmer

things in the near future, for tomorrow
probably, or Thursday certainly, so say the
officials at the weather bureau, the atmos-
rhere will resume it's normal temperature
and there will be no necessity for turning
up the collars of overcoats and DOMINIC ear
muffs.
There is nothing remarkable about the
present cold snap, it being one of those
changes that are bound to occur. The ther-
mometer at o'clock this morning register
ed ten degrees, but that is not so bad when
1t is taken into consideration that things
were at the freezing point throughout
northern Florida. The minimum tempera-
ture was 26 at Jacksonville while "a was
registered at Tampa and &c at Jupiter. The
mercury fell from 80 to ~ degrees through
the south and rose in New England from S

10 to 20 degrees.
