OUT TO MEET GOMEZ
WEYLER ONCE MORE FORCED TO
TAKE THE FIELD IN
PERSON.
CUBANs ARE INFURIATED.
VANCE TO HAVANA'S
GATES.
BANDS ARE ALL ABOUT THE CITY.
Captain General Worried, But I'm
able to Capture or Dispense the
Daring Insurgents.

KEY WEST, Fla, Dec. 22-Gen.
Weyler is going into the field again.
This is confirmed tonight by passengers
on the Havana boat. Preparations are
being made with secrecy for forward
move. The battalions Of newly landed
troops left by water Sunday for the
East. 1t is supposed that this is part
of Weyler's coming campaign. Gomez
is advancing rapidly, and it is thought
that Weyler will, If possible, prevent
his coming to the gates of Havana. 1t
is stated from Cuban sources that the
Cuban leader is wild. over the murder
of his only son and his beloved chief
lieutenant and Is burning to revenge
their fall. The Cubans In the army are
Infatuated also. DR.. Zertucha is a.
marked man, and it is reported that
move has been made 70 abduct him.
He is now in a fortress some miles
from Havana with strong Spanish
guard. His trip to Spain will be post
poned, the Cubans say, as, if he goes
over there, they will have friendly
hands in that country who will avenge
Maceo and young Gomez. Maj. Cru
ieda also comes in for-shfs share Of
Strong insurgent bandsqtare now so
close to Havana thatGthe Spanish SOL
diers seldom venture far out of the
gates of the city except in Strong force.
A company of twenty-five was attacked
Sunday night not over three miles from
the palace by an fnsurgent band, and
several Of them killed. This audacity
has worried Weyler, but he cannot cap
ture or dispense them. An American
named Amos Johnson, from Texas, is
their most prominent leader
1t is stated, that Capt. Gen. Weyler
arrived at Mariel this morning and
was at Artenisa by 10 o'clock, whence
he proceeded by coach. Gen. Weyler
TOOK breakfast at IL O'Clock, and upon
leavingufor .the field, was escorted by
the Principe squadron Of colored fire
men of Havana.
Gen. Weyler has ordered that all the
cattle be gathered up Immediately by
the guerrillas, in order to deprive the
insurgents Of their food supply. Sick
soldiers to the number of 486 have ar
rived at Havana from Artemisa and
other places in the province of Pinar
del Rio. -
There is much guessing as to the
whereabouts of the Three Friends. that
left Fernandina ten days ago with
arms and ammunition. It. is supposed
that she has landed her cargo. =. M.
Bars, her attorney and part owner,
was asked today. if it was not time to
hear from the daring craft. He smiled,
but thought she would be heard from
in day or two. 1t is the impression
here now that she has two or more
other expeditions to carry over before
coming here to be seized The moment
she ventures within reach of a revenue
cutter, her occupation is gone.

sack" Qutnn's Sentence VIII Not
Expire Until February, 1898.

Everything is in readiness for the indict-
ment of the three parties accused Of highway
robbery, now in the county jail. F. A. Whit
tier, state agent for the states prison and
state reformatory, was a caller at the sheriff s
office yesterday, and he was given a pass to
see John Quinn. who is alleged to be the ring
leader of the trio. Quinn is in a peculiar po-
sition. Mr.. Whittier stated that Quinns was
the first instance on record where man on
parole from the reformatory had ever been &C
oused OF felony. Many of them had been taken
for misdemeanors. but Quinn broke the rec
ord in being accused of felony The state
authorities would have the power to demand
the surrender Of Quinn, in order that he
might finish his time there, but the author
tiles have decided to let him sand
trial, and if he is convicted to have his SEN
tence added to the reformatory time, and to
date from the date of his release from there.
Quinn was sent to the reformatory on a
charge for which the punishment was five
years The governor took a year from the
sentence, and this would make his term ex-
pire July next, by the good time allowed
him.. On account Of his having broken his
parole. however, his time will not be out
until February, $685.

loud wall Of anger and disgust went up
Nicollet avenue yesterday. They learned al
most simultaneously that they had been duped
-cleverly duped-by member of the smooth
est. His fine Italian hand was in evidence
through 1t all and the autograph is all that
remains to indicate his visit. Sort of 2
holiday souvenir remarked one of the VIC
tins with grim humor. The scheme embodies
some slight originality. The one who worked
it as described is slightly below the average
in stature, in complexion dark with face clean
shaver and ilumined with a beguiling smile.
He paid a business visit to the stores of
Eustis Brothers, ]. B. Hudson, Vetter, the
furrier, Keller, the haberdasher and num-
Der Of others. There was much method in
his scheme, the cold weather guiding his
acts At each place light purchases were
made and checks presented in payment. They
ranged in amounts from $25 TO $35 and were
payable at the Washington bank. They were
presented the following day and payment
made in due form.
This served to allay all possible suspicion,
and when the smooth stranger with the bank
account made his appearance again Monday
similar checks for like amounts were pre-
sented and accepted. He gravely pocketed the
balance In each case and withdrew. But when
the second lot of checks were taken to the
bank it found that all the money which
the fellow had to his credit had been with
drawn that day and nothing was known Of
him or his whereabouts. He is supposed to
have at once jumped the town, taking with
him the neat sum realized by his work.

The bulk of it was realized on the drop

and yesterday and today, when everybody
owning the stock was unloading he bought

lngs In other stocks, including Western
Union, but the mass Of his great earning
To-Day came from Manhattan and Burlington.
IN SIX days he broke Manhattan ten points
by heavy selling. He contributed to the
slump in Burlington.
When the rest were standing around, un-
willing to take further chances on falling
market Louis Bell jumped in and made a
half-million dollars out of stocks he manip-
ulated. Of course the action of the senate
helped him in his raid on Burlington stock,
as it did on the others he had operated in;
and OF course the action of Mr.. Hendricks
in bringing his suit against the directors of
the Manhattan in Albany yesterday helped
him in his raid on Manhattan. The specula-
tive world is wondering how Mr.. Bell figured
out that these actions were to be taken.
Mr.. Bell has been on the exchange since
1875 but it was not until 1891 he began to fig
ure as a plunger. When Mckinley was nom
mated in St. Louis there was a strong bull
movement on Wall street. The first man to
sell the market was Mr.. Bell. Other bulls
followed his lead and they sold all the way
down the line from 90 to 80 points But he
fore election he began to buy in. The other
bulls ,overstayed. They were not sure Nc
Kinley was to be elected, but Mr.. Bell was
sure enough to take chance He was on
both sides of the market at once and when
he balanced up his accounts he found him
self $3.50 900 to the good. His chief opera
tion at that time was in Reading.

PLEASANT .
Little Games In the Kansas City
Stock Yards.


The favorite game played on strangers is
the Knock fight says the Kansas City
Times Two of the local stockyards boys pre-
tend to start quarrel before a farmer. One
word leads to another, and in the heat of the
excitement both the contestants draw re-
volvers This Is about all the average man
who is not ''on'' cares to see of the fracas,
for by this time he is about four blocks
away. Yesterday afternoon the chief clerk in
one of the freight offices was down in the
yards when two fellows started a sham
fight. This gentleman had heard of this Joke
before, but the fight sudden and so
realistic that he lost no time in leaving the
scene of action. He even took pains to get
over the fence and crawl his hands and
knees behind manger. When the guns were
shown to him and found to have been corn
cobs wrapped with, tin foil for cylinders. he
said he was ready to buy out bar room.
But like many others, this game was worked
once too often. Two fellows, both we'll
known around the yards, started a sham
fight before stranger who happened to be
from Texas. Of course they didn't know
this. When the part came where they drew
guns the Texan pulled an enormous 40 that
looked like a Calling gun on the would-be
jokers and said calmly:
'If thar is any shootin' going on l want a
hand in 1t myself, and if either of youse turns
yer weepin this way, I'll let mine loose I'm
from Terantula Creek myself, and I don't get
away from place where there's shootin'' =
1t is needless to say 1t was the jokers who
did the "hot FOOT this time, and this joke
hasn't been played since.
