MACEO SECURES MUNITIONS
An Expedition From France Lands
Cargo Of Supplies.
Weyler Tries TO Head on the Enemy
and Looses Many Men 90.
Maceo's Astute General
ship shown.

Havana, Oct. 16.-The following Is an
account of the last fight In Pinar del
Rio, gathered from Information re-
ceived from Spanish sources:
Maceo left the hills without about
1000 or 1900 men to meet an expedition
that had landed on the island, whlch
expedition is appears was not the one
brought by the Three Friends as re-
ported, but one fitted out In m
or some other place, with Cuban funds
collected in France, commanded by d
we'll known Havana lawyer named FER
nando Friere Andrade. The expedition
appears to have been the most formida-
Bile ever landed i'm Cuba and Is said 10
have consisted of o 5000 rifles,
1000, 900 cartridges, 5000 blankets ana
waterproofs, two or three cannon, dy-
Mantle, medicines, etc.
Weyler being informed of the land
ing and that Maceo had sent forces 10
convey the expedition to the hills, SENT
five columns, in combination with each
other, to intercept his way, II II pos
sible capture the convoy. AS the result
of this combination there occurred hVe
successive engagements in which the
Spaniards are said to have lost over oOO
men without obtaining their coveted
object. since Maceo Is now reported To
have reached the hills in safety without
having lost a single pack mule on the
convoy.
In all these engagements Maceo has
out-generalled all his foes and has de-
monstrated his great capacity as a mil
itary leader and his remarkable skill
and courage. Maceo. having succeeded
in reaching his mountain strongholds
with the powerful elements he has now
obtained, it can be safely predicted that
II will be utterly impossible for the
S%paniards to dislodge him, as 1t would
require nearly 100, 900 men for that pur-
pose, according to the opinion or wen
informed and impartial persons. There
is no doubt that he has sustained great
losses, but everybody believes that they
are much smaller h a those or the
Spaniards.
Calixto Garcia, with $500 men and
four pieces of artillery, left the Bayamo
district recently in the direction OF Ca
maguey He is believed now to be In
the province to join Gomez. His ultt-
mate purpose is unknown.

London. oct. l5.-Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, chancellor OF the excehquer,
speaking at Darlington last night. de-
hat the actual position of the
powers with regard to the eastern ques-

many were determined, with q view to
preserve European peace, to maintain
the status quo in Turkey. That had
been England's traditional policy, he
said, and II departure from 1t would
result in active resistance by the pow-

interference by the powers to compel
Turkish reform. England's present
the chancellor Of the exchequer
affirmed, was to secure a concert of
