NOT EN(Iu> >.-.,,
Lack of News From Weyler Indi-
Gates He Is Not Succeeding
Admirably
In His Attempt to Wipe Out
the Army of the Cuban
Insurgents.
MaceO Credited With a Design
Of Getting Behind the
Captain General.

HAVANA, Nov. 1S.-No news, official
or otherwise, is obtainable here con-
cerning the movements of Captain Cen
Weyler, and his army. which is sup
posed to be in pursuit of the insurgents
forces under Antonio Maceo, in the
province of Pinar del Rio.
No news from Spanish force in the
field, as a rule means bad news, and
the insurgents are making the most of
the situation by circulating reports of
Spanish defeats. In truth, however,
there seems to be ground for the belief
that the captain general has not met
with the success he anticipated, and
while he is reported to be moving along
the northern part of Pinar del Rio, An
tonic Maceo is said to be south of him,
and not far from the trocha, or military
line, which would indicate the possibil-
ity of the insurgents
Turning the Spanish Flank,
ard making it difficult for the captain
general to return to Havana. This,
however, is conjecture, no news being
allowed to leak out from the Offices of
the headquarters staff in the palace.
From private source it was said
that Maceo, hitherto understood to be
occupying positions between Candalaria
and Artemisa, had moved south of the
former town, going westward towards
the mountains of Guiana. Another
rumor has it that he is pushing strong
force through the swamps south of the
trocha. Both reports are given for
what they are worth.
ON the other hand, it is no longer de-
MED that the insurgents have captured
the two quite important towns Of Cas-
corro and Cuayamar, in Puerto Prin-
cipe, as intimated some time ago in
these dispatches, in spite of official de-
mails to the contrary, and there is no
doubt that an insurgent army Of about
10000 men is advancing upon the city
Of Puerto Principe, capital of the prov
ince Of that name.
The captain general was expected to
arrive ut Candelaria and the Spanish
officials here attribute the alleged retro.
grade movement of the insurgents
under Maceo to this move on the part
of the Spanish commander The latter s
arrival at Candelaria, however, has not
yet been announced, and there is no
denying that feeling Of considerable
anxiety can be noticed at the Spanish
headquarters here Since the departure
of the captain general for the front, a
number Of officials have been on duty
night and day at the palace as if await
ing important news, which as yet, has
failed to reach them.

No Truth in the Pubii>hrd RumOrs oi
Strained Relations with the Vatican.
ST.. PAUL, Nov S-Archbishop Ire
land has heretofore adhered firmly to
his first decision not to speak of the
from Rome) stating in one way or an.
other that he was to be called to ac-
count for some of his view or actions.
The Associated Press representative,
however, after many efforts, finally
succeeded in getting from him the fol.
lowing statement:
''1n all the reports recently published
as to my relations with the Vatican
there is not one syllable of truth. Not
one word has come to me from Rome
indicating the smallest change in the
kind feelings which the sovereign pom
tiff and his immediate advisors have
been pleased to entertain toward me.
1t is false to say that have been sum-
moned to Rome. I have not been asked
to give an explanation Of any act, OF
any writing of mine, and, certainly. if
the sovereign pontiff had
Desired to Approve pr TO Blame Me
he would have communicated his will
to myself instead of making it known
to me through the gossip Of newspaper
reporters of Europe or of America.
What may be the sources of the re-
ports or the motives of the men who
put those reports in circulation
whether the enemies be>political or &C.
clesiastical-I do net know, nor do l
care to inquire. The Roman paper
quoted in today's dispatches is bitter
and malicious adversary Of the Vatican
and surely cannot be quoted as repre-.
senting the views of the pope. Whether
the report published i'll this Roman
paper originated i'll Rome or in Amer.
| lea is matter that need not be dis
cussed at present. The absurdity OF ali
those reports reached the climax when
even Cardinal Gibbons was reported as
likely to be disciplined by Rome"
