Lynch Faction of Mississippi Negro Re-

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 1.-THE Lynch
faction of the republican party met here
today for discussion of the situation and
to work out plan for securing unto
themselves a fair division of the loaves
and fishes Of the incoming administra-
ton.
John r. Lynch addressed the meeting
at length, and mapped out plan, in
accordance with which committee of
seven was appointed to visit Mr.. Hanna
and present him a long series of resolu-
tions explaining the origin and present
status of their party disruption in Mis-
sissippi, denouncing registration laws of
the state and dwelling on the fact that
the Lynch electors received many more
votes than Hill electors in the late pres
idential race. Wherefore, in spite of the
fact that Hill has been recognized as the
republican leader of this state, the
Lynch faction think themselves entitled
to some of the Offices at the disposal of
President-elect Mckinley.

sPANIARDs ON THE LOOKOUT.

No Fighting Reported, But Movements
of the Eenemy Being Sought.
Havana, Dec. 1.-THE bulletins issued
by the government today regarding en-
gagements of the troops are unimportant.
A correspondent at Guanajay reports
that the forces under Maj. Lacosta have
captured at Mosquito Beach a Spanish
deserter who belonged to the Alfonso
XIII. battalion. The prisoner says that
he was forced to join Maceo'S forces in
Plnar del Rio. He repeats the story that
Maceo did eot cross the trocha on land,
but went by sea around the northern end
of it. After landing in the province of
Tavana, Maceo met the forces of Lieut..
Vasquez, who was waiting at Mosquito
Beach, between Mariel and Banes. The
prisoner complains that he was i'll treated
by the rebels. His story is considered
suspicious and he will be tried by a court
martial.
The queen regent has sent dispatch to
Capt.-Gen. Weyler complimenting him
upon the result of his campaign against
the insurgents.
Advices from the province of Pinar
del Rio are to the effect that several
Spanish battalionS have penetrated to
the interior of the hills there. in places
considered impregnable by the rebels.
The insurgents had disappeared so the
troops burned the huts that had been
occupied by them. A number of horses
and cattle were captured.
The officers commanding in Pinar del
Rio have no idea of the present locality of
the rebels in that province. Scouting
parties have failed to learn their where
abouts, but the military profess to be-
lieve that their abandonment of almost
unassailable positions is proof of the dis
organization that has followed the death
of Maceo.
Indications point to rebel parties hav-
ing entered the province of Matanzas.
Their trails show the direction in which
they have gone, and Spanish column is
following in their track. 1t is believed
that concentration is intended in Santa
Clara province of rebels from the east
and west. The government says it is
watching the movement, and so far as
can be gathered from outside sources it
Is doing little besides watching to pre-
vent the rebels from carrying out their
plan.
A colored woman named Francisco
Herrera has been tried by court-martial
here on charge of rebellion. The pros
ecutor asked that she be sentenced to
death. The sentence of the court mar
tial, If it has been passed, has not been
made public
