HAVANA, Nov. 2i.-The unexpected
arrival here OF Captain General Wey-
Ter from the province OF Pinar del
Rio, without having been successful In
bringing about an engagement of any
Importance with the insurgents under
Antonio Maceo, Is causing considerable
comment here to-day and there are
many rumors In circulation. On one
side 1t Is asserted that weyler's return
means that he Will shortly return to
Spain on some plea or another. OIL
cially, however, this IS denied. The
impression prevails, however, that
there will shortly be important changes
here.
La Lucha's correspondent In the field,
had adanintervlewwitht the captain general
previous to the latter's arrival here
from Artemisa and Marlel and It Is
gathered from the statements the cap
tain general Is said to have made, that
he may not resume personal charge OF
the operations against the insurgents
in Pinar del Rio. In this interview the
captain general was asked for an ex-
preston Of opinion as to the course OF
the campaign and he said:
Il am contentcd with II. We entered
Rubi. hoping TO give battle to the COM
b!ned insurgent forces, and you know
the result. They went southwark, much
to our regret. Maceo himself went to-
wards Nocurriyas. Hayari and Corojal
da Vaniguas. Nevertheless, our COL
umns, In two divisions, arrived without
hiring single shot, and only saw q
band of about one hundred and fifty
insurgents in the woods near San Luis"
The captain general was then asked II
he knew the whereabouts OF Antonio
Maceo at present. He answered.:
"Eis whereabouts IS not known. The
truth is that the insurgents were not
found In the mountains nor on the
plains. Nevertheless they boast that
our troops always fly before them"
The correspondent then asked the
captain general how the Spanish SOL
diers had behaved and whether they
had shown the right spirit.
He said: 1.-THE men are contented and
show themselves courageous at every
opportunity for fighting against any
odds. The result is most satisfactory,
although we have not yet finished our
work. But enough has been done until
the end of the year. am now going
back to Havana"
When will you return?" asked the
correspondent
The captain general smiled and said:
say .WhUt- / shall do. Gen,
eral Muno. vii! take charge OF the d.
vision as soon as his health is re-estab-
lished."
In irsurgent circles. It Is said that
their leaders claim that the return Of
the captain general 10 Havana without
bringing about an engagement with
Maceo Is equivalent to a defeat Of the
Spanish forces. for the latter have CON-
pletely failed to carry out the pro-
gramme mapped out by the Spanish
commander and he has returned here in
every way unsuccessful.
II IL asserted that the plan OF Antonio
Mnceo was to avoid general engage
ment with the Spanish troops, as he
feels confident that the wearisome cam
paign being conducted by the Cubans
must ultimately exhaust the Spaniaris
and bringing about the concession Of all
or nearly all the demands of the insur-
+ gents $500. u-. :.

(
BOSTON, Nov. 24.-For the first time
in the history Of the Republican party
in Massachusetts. thoroughly Repub-
lican organization. the Home Marke,
Club, bound to the cause of protection,
cheered Grover Cleveland. The ban
quet Of the club at Mechanics Hall to-
night was one Of the largest In its his
tory. Nearly thousand members, rep
resentlng the industries Of nearly every
city and town in the state, gathered
about the tables. and wien the feast
was over listened with thousand lYi6Td
In the galleries, to speeches by some of
the generals who toured the country In
the interests of the gold standard, and
by Senator Hoar and Lieutenant Gov
ernor Wolcott. - ESD
President w. a. Scott, OF Lowell,
opened the proceedings by reading q
letter from President-elect Mckinley,
and then introduced Lieutenant Cover
nor Wolcott. r.
Senator Eoar, who followed, said that
the Democratic party had been saved
from itself by Republican effort "It is
said that while Mckinley has one mill
ion majority, q change of $1,000 votes
would give the election to his opponent.
It Is sad to contemplate this, and can
not the business men OF New England
aid the cause Of good government? Can
not they by the weight OF their integ-
rity regain the confidence OF the west?'
In the absence of General Daniel Z
Slckles, three cheers were given for the
old soldier. after which General Russell
A. Alser. of Michigan, was introduced
and spoke.
General Algcr closed his remarks by
paying an eloquent tribute to President
Cleveland and for the first. time in Bos-
ton, by a Republican body. three cheers
were given for that official.
Corporal Tanner was among the
speakers. He said, in part:
I'VE rejoice tonight in an assured
victory, so far as operations have ex-
tended, issues being joined and results
possible to achieve, reached. But gen.
tlemen, Il we are wise, we will reflect
and try and determine Just what we
have secured. There must be no vnca-
ton in the campaign of education and
when Mark Hanna announces that op-
erations on that line are to continue
uninterruptedly, he gives still further
evidence of the possession OF those at
tributes already so fully exemplncd by
him which stamp him as the very lieu
tenant general OF modern political op-
eratlons."

CAUCUS NECESSARY
To Outline n Policy Regarding tho Tariff.
tstN 1ncrenssd Revenue Demanded.

.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. "a
There is such diversity OF opinion
among Republican senators In the city
as to the course to be pursued at the
next session with reference to the tariff,
that 1t Is considered quite probable a
caucus VIII be held very early In the
session to decide upon n line OF action.
senator Sherman Is still understood to
hold to the opinion that the Dingley
bill should and could be passed at the
approaching session, while other Re-
publican senators disagree with him,
some as TO the wisdom of the measure
and others as to the possibility of get
ting It through 1t Is believed that a line
OF action can be agreed upon In party
conference which will be satisfactory to
all and when It Is once decided upon
VIII render unnecessary much useless
agitation. The Indications, now are
that the decision OF the caucus when
held will be against taking up the
Dingley bill.
Senator Chandler said to-day that he
thought Congress should make provis-
ion for short time loan at the coming
session.
II believe" he said. 1--WE can author
lie q short time loan, limited to fifty
or q hundred millions. Provisions may
be made for such 4 loan to be paid OFF
within few years. II we have not the
money 1t has to be borrowed and It Is
offensive to every one to have the gov
ernment resort to the roundabout and
evaslve methods adopted by Mr.. Cleve-
land In the loans he has negotiated. Au-
thorlty should be given at once for
short time loans, so that the govern
ment may be gotten out when 1t finds
itself in q hole"
Would you make any provision for
the redemption and retirement of the
greenbacks?" asked the reporter.
No; am not IN favor of the retire
ment OF the grcenbacks ut this time. At
present the banks need them in their
reserves. II they did not have them they
would have to hold their reserves in
gold.
THE thing to do now Is to provide
means for getting money until we can
put revenue legislation into effect.
There will have to be an extra session
of the Fifty-flfth Congress, in my judg-
ment, and We shall then enact both
revenue and financial legislation. I
do not see how We can accomplish any
thing as to either of these questions at
the coming session."

statement In which he denies In vlgor-

that the road is getting n large share

and added:
"I can very readily understand why 1t
Is that our business out of Chicago has
showed such great Improvement. In
the first place. the Baltimore &-Ohlo
railroad Is in better financial shape
than 1t was sometime ago. The traffic
department has It's agent through the

ness. These men have been employed
because of their ability. and 1t Is but
natural that we should show an In
crease in tonnage. ] want 10 deny most

Idle since May 80. were settled at n wage
conference tonight and 5000 or more
men dependent on that Industry Will be
at work again on December 15. IT
When the two committees came to-
gether this afternoon, the manufacture
ers were firm In their determination not
TO pay more than Inst years wages and
10 per cent below that asked for by the
union ut the opening OF negotiations.
A proviso was. Incorporated In the
agreement which stipulates that should
the Dlngley bill pass Congress and an
advance In tariff of 15 per cent result,
the blowers and gatherers shall receive
an advance In wages OF 10 per cent. II
the tariff advance should be less than Is
per cent, these wages shall be adjusted
In proportion. =ss lf
Should the tariff advance be more than
Is per cent, the wages OF the four trades
in the window glass business shall be re-
adjusted In proportion to such advance.
The acceptance OF the agreement by
the wage committee Of the workmen
was given In opposition to the advice OF
Simon Burns, president of the union.
He wanted the proposition submitted to
n popular vote and when this was re-
jected by the committee, Mr.. Burns
withdrew from the conference.
Some OF the Indiana plants could be
