NOT ENCOU RAGING
Lack of News From Weyler Ind
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 Gen
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 a 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,
and 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 a strong
foooo +b~O,,rI f[o Sxxayopc south of tho
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-
malls 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 at 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

lowing resolution was adopted without
much debate
Resolved, That while we recognize
the right of women to make comment

from the beginning until now,
we regret that the name
'Woman's Bible has been given
to any volume, and we further deplore
the misapprehension of the press, secu-
lar and religious, in styling this COM
mentarY on those parts of the Bible
only rNating to women, as q new ver-
sion of the scriptures.
We further disclaim any connection
whatever of our society, or of OF
national president with this work.

represented in the convention, with 395
delegates and officers, consisting OF all

A delegate here arose and announced
that it was reported that the house III

The Spanish Minister Doesn't Expect

The Spanish Minister Doesn't Expect
Weyler to Catch MaceO.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-The Spanish
minister, Senior Dupuy de LONE does
not expect to hear of any decisive battle
in Cuba unless the Spanish troops
should be so fortunate as to corner the
Cubans. He says that Maceo has no
force with which he can give battle
The Spanish troops, he thinks, will have
to chase the insurgents from place to
place, destroy their supplies and plan
tations, and prevent them from reach
ing the state where they can secure new
supplies In case General Weyler's
troops were able to get the insurgents
in corner there might be battle of
some Importance, but otherwise, the
Spanish minister does not look for a
pitched battle. He says the fighting
must be like fighting Indians in this
country, driving the insurgents from
one cover to another He does not look
for important advices from Cuba, except
possibly the death of Maceo, which he
believes would mean the end of the
war. He estimates the force which
Maceo is able to collect at 5000 to 4, ZOO
men

Derided the Suggestion.

The subject of hostilities between
Spain and the United States was men,
toned and the Spanish minister met
it with gesture of derision, and de-
clared it was sensationalism He said
that i'll this country there were jingoists
who wanted to make Uncle Sam a
great bully, whereas he was a peacea-
BILE and good natured gentleman. There
was in Spain class of jingoists who
were of the same kind, and who were
always anxious to stir up trouble. He
said that Spain's position was to take
care of her own and defend herself, and
that was what she was doing now
The Spanish minieter is well pleased
with the success of the Spanish loan
He received cable message saying that
more than 800, 100000 had been SUBJ
scribed, which, he says, refutes the as
sertion that Spain is poor and bank
rupt nation, unable longer to carry OF
the Cuban war.

and has caused buyers i'm all directions To
proceed more or less cautiously. There are
many agents so wei sold up that they

cessions TO buyers. but there are others
not so well situated, who hesitate about
turning down business. and IN such IN
stances buyers naturally enough make
the most i'm shopping around the market.
