REBELS AFTER HAVANA.
MAXIMO GOMEZ PREPARING TO
ENTER THE CUBAN
CAPITAL.
No Truth in the Rumor That the
Towns in the Immediate Outskirts
OF Havana Have Been Already Be-
seiged by the Insurgents-Ominous

New York, Nov. "a dispatch to
the Herald from Key West, Fla, says:
A prominent Cuban resident of ,h.s
city said to your correspondent that,
without assuming the role of a prophet
the Herald could posi- lively announce
that the City of Havana would be be
sftged by Maxine Gomez within the
next 60 days To that end, he said
Gomez and all the rebel forces were
now marching westward toward the
capital. This Cuban is in direct COM
m%unical:on WI h the insurgent leaders
in the fed and is the local medium
through whom al insurgents CORE
spondence for the New York junta
passes. He also stated that there was
no confirmation Of a rumor circulated
by Cuban passengers h arrived hare
last night that the towns in the imme.
diate outskirts Of the City of Havana
had been already besieged by the insur-
gents.
While the Havana papers many OF

night, continue to maintain silence in
regard to Maceo's movements since his
brillian. attack on Al.mesa 10 days
ago, it is still insisted by active parti-
ans here in direct communication with
the leaders in Cuba, that he unques-
tionably crossed the ml.jsary trocha at
that point during the rbCmbardment o.
the town with n small following. has
since marched through the entire prov,
ilce OF Havana, and is now at Colon, a
central pCilnt in Mar5anzas province
1t is alleged that his mission there is to
concentrate and assume command for
the forces of Ricardo, Trujilo, Rojas
and ether minor rebel leaders who have
been operating in that vicinity with be-
tween 1000 and 5000 well-armed men
Nc hwl hstading the persistency OF
this report, the other Cubans here are
apparently equally well informed, and
expressed doubt that Maceo has left
the province Of Pinar del Rio, which
movement. they say. would imply de-
feat by the superior forces sent against
him by Captain General Weyler. The
~explana.!on. however. is offered that
no abandonment OF territory has been
made, as Gen. Rus Rivera. n veteran
of the last war. has been left in COM
mand Cf the i%nsurgent forces in Pinar
del Rio, while Maceo has gone east
ward in obedience to orders from his
Superiors, to operate with Maxine Co
mez in the latter's new campaign OF
invasion.
Gomez has not been heard from since
his attack on the town Of Cascorro and
the subsequent engagement at Des-
mayo plantation. where he defeated
Gen. Jimlnez Catzello. Spanish official
dispatches report large i%nsurgent
forces moving westward from Cimar-
rones in Manltanas province near Car
denas, where an important attack of
the rebels is momentariiy expected.
The ominous silence Of Gomez is said
to presage the planning Of a series Of
important attacks on the principal
cities within Havana and Mantanzas
provinces, his apparent inactivity hav-
ing been caused only by a desire to
await the arrival Of all the new REIN
forcements from Spain and their dis
trlbution throughout the island. Now
that they are garrisCned, his projected

Livingston, Mont, Nov. 2.-All kinds
Of game except buffalo is multiplying

and antelope. During the past season

ELECTION BETTING.
New York, Nov. 2.-Betting on the
election result was without feature on
the stock exchange this morning, the
only transaction noted being an even
wager OF s., 200 that Mckinley will not
have 100000 plurality in New York
state.
\ dozen small bets were made in the
FIFTH avenue hotel, one of 5000 TO slOC
that Mckjnley's majority in this city
WI not be 5000 and another OF 500
even that Mckinley will receive 265
electoral votes. The bet.ors in every
case were local politicians and sports.
The failure Of the bcastful bettors of
the Mckinley side to cover the wager
Of W. S. Stratton OF Colorado Springs
and or w. a. Clark of Montana has
brought quite general ridicule upon
them and driven much of the Mckinley
tax to cover. There are few men in
the hotel corridors or in the barrcms
Or elsewhere to do the usual ante-elec-
ton bluffing. Bets are made quietly
when they are made and only become
public when the enterrrising reporter
spends hours digging among MneXpect,
fearful OF the laughter that they know
must meet them in case OF failure more
bitterly this year than it has eve done
IN pCli.ics in this country heretofore.

An Alleged Faith Cure.

some uncertainty as to the truth of the

medicine. Until this can be shown

MORAL ISSUES,
Theodore Roosevelt, at Chicago.

iHcouoIe INOOSeNelt, at CnlcaSO.
We believe that the campaign should be
waged on the moral even more than the
material issue Mr.. Bryan and Mr. Ar
geld are the embodiments of the two prin-
ciples which our adversaries desire to SEQ
triumph; and in their ultimate analysis
those principles are merely the negatisns
OF the TWO commandments Thou shalt
not stear' and Thou shalt do no murder"
Mr.. Bryan champions that system of dis
honesty which would steal from the cred
itors of the nation half of what they have
in good faith loaned and from the work.
tngmen Of the nation half of what. by their
honest toll they have earned. Mr.. Altgeld
condones and encourages the most In
famous of murders and denounces the fed
eral government and the supreme court
for interfering to put a stop to the bloody
lawlessness which would result in worse
than murder. Both of them would substi-
tute for the government Of Washington
and Lincoln, for the system of orderly lib
erty which We inherit from our forefathers
and which We desire to bequeath to our
sons, red welter of lawlessness and dis
honesty as fantastic and as vicious as the
Paris commune itself Turning aside from
the American principles of government,
repudjating everything which has made
the name symbol of hope among nations,
they seek to substitute crazy fabric,
patched up from the worn-out theories of
every European dreamer and European
agitator We appeal to no class and to no
section; we appeal to all the citizens of
this land alike, merely as Americans
Fastener and westerner, northerner an !
sOutherner, merchant and clerk farmer
and farm labOrer manufacturer and work.
inSman, we ask you TO stand together as
Americans, jealous of the honor of your
country and indignant at those who pro-
pose to drag that honor in the dust We
ask you to stand for decent government
and the honest payment of debts. We ask
you to set your faces against that spirit
of lawless mob violence which could in the
end produce nothing but anarchy: anar-
chy the handmaiden and sure herald of ty-
ranny. We ask you to vote against Mr..
Bryan, not merely because his success
would mean the impoverishment of the
poor and the trouble of the rich, the break
ing up of homes, the despair of strong men
and the hungry misery of the women and
children. but because the laws of right and
justice bid you oppose them. We ask you
to declare for the payment of honest debts
and for the suppression Of lawless mobs
not merely because it is expedient, but be-
cause it is right No nation can long hold
its place in the world IL it does not strive
to live up to a lofty moral ideal: and we
ask you to join In the overthrow of the
enemies of American honor and of Ameri-
can liberty because every principle Of
sound morality bids you take such action.

interposition of federal troops was un-
constitutional. Congress and the courts
say it was not. We take the latter as
the safer and better authority. Cover
nor Altgeld says the presidents course
was tyrannical. Public opinion re-
spends that the vacillation of the Him
ois authorities was abominable. 1t
seems strange that Governor Altgeld
should care more for the letter of the
constitution than for the welfare of
the people. The natural plan would be
to put down the disorder first and dis
cuss constitutional technicalities after
ward. If there is one thing about the
American people which is to their
credit above another it is the readiness
with which they applaud and admire
brave effort TO enforce the law. Cleve-
land made that kind of an effort while
Hopkins and Altgeld missed their
chance by stopping to split hairs. The
complaints of the latter come too late.
Public opinion has endorsed the presi-
dents course, and it is in no mood to
grant reargument of the case.
