VOLUNTEERS FROM TEXAS.

Dallas, Tex, Dec. 14.-The Cuban sit uation is the main subject of considera- ton in this section of Texas. There is almost unanimous feeling, and public sentiment is in favor of the patriots. Dallas is the center of activity. Two se- cret meetings were held today. It is known that enlisments are secretly being made Tonight the first departure of men from north Texas under recent re- crufting was made. Twenty-three re- cruits, divided in three parts, took rail for transportation by different routes for the gulf coast, eight for Galveston, nine for New Orleans and six for Flor ida. From these points they will be furnished means for reaching the island and supplied with the best quality of equipment and abundant ammunition. The feeling is intense here against Spain, as the belief is general that Maceo's death was the work of hired assassins and treachery.

A COMPLETE CALM
Prevails in Havana After the Monster
 Weyler Demonstration.

Weyler Demonstration.
 Havana, Dec. 14-A complete calm prevails here today, following the noisy demonstration made on receipt of the death of Maceo, and upon the arrival of Captain General Weyler, from the prov ince of Pinar del Rio.
 The news that has been public is de- void of interest, and the newspapers de- vote much of their space to glowing de- scriptions of the demonstrations made last night by the volunteers of Havana, in honor of General Weyler. The muni- cipal council has decided to place DOT trait of General Weyler in the chamber in which the council meets, and as a further honor will change the name of Calle Bispo or some other principal street of the city to Calle Weyler. It is ex- pected that Weyler will shortly give a decision on the proposal of the defence committee to allow the planting and grinding of sugar cane in certain of the provinces.
