count of the battle is furnished by the

ler's forces, while marching through
the ltubi mountains, about thirty
miles from Havana, were attacked by

able TO pour several volleys into the
Spanish ranks before the latter could
rally and return the fire. The battle
was short, sharp and desperate and
General Weylcr, seeing his men were
fighting at a disadvantage, and were
being slaughtered, ordered "a retreat,
leaving over 1000 dead and taking his
wounded with him. After leaving the
mountains Wcylcr went to Artcm'sa,

GEN. WEYLER TALKS.
Occupies the Insurgents Positions with.
outAny serious Resistance.

HAVANA. Nov. 2S.-Gencral Wcyler
said to-day of his Pinar del Rio expert
ences: II went over all the northern
hills and occupied the insurgents po-
sitions without any serious resistance
upon the part of the enemy. Cacacra-
jacara and Rubi, which the insurgents
claimed were impregnable, were occu-
pied by our troops after dislodging the
enemy. At Rubi he offered the great
st resistance, but yielded after n few
hours fighting. We found no trace of
Macco's people after that, although all
the other points were reconnoitercd
by small attachments from our coll
umns. The southcrly points were also
~rcconnoitercd and the positions where
the rebels had encamped are
O in possession of our troops. There
remains still to be reconnoitered the
range of hills in the eastern part of
the province. Macco has nothing left
for him to do but to scatter his follow
ers into small parties in order to en-
able them to escape our columns which
are now hunting for them, since they
offer no resistance and refuse to ac-
cept a meeting with our troops, who
are chasing them in all directions. l
nm confident OF shortly pacifying Pinar
del Rio, since all the strategic points
are in my hands and because of the
constant activity of our troops in all
directions, which completely hinders
the escape of the small groups of in
surgents, who are now fleeing before
them in disorder"

Dick, a lawyer of ~Tahlequah. /. T., n
citizen of the Cherokee nation, who
was in Kansas City yesterday, ex-
planned n scheme which some lawyers
and lobbyists are trying to- work
through the Cherokee council. 1t
seems that when the Cherokee outlet
was opened to settlement the United
States government agreed with h
Cherokccs to have AN accounting OF
all claims, and the result was that the
United States was folnd to he owing
the Chcrokcrs ST. 300, 900. 1t was found
to lie necessary to employ lawyers 70
help collect the money. The council
agreed To pay s per cent of all the
money collected to the lawyers, bat
the lawyers now ask for 20 per cent.
The Cherokees are very much inter-
csted in the fight over increas ng the
pay of the lobby. for that is what the
employment OF the lawyers amounts TO.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
PREPARING HIS LAST AN
NUAL
A Notable state raper-Duc Attention
VIII be Paid to Foreign Affairs, Espcc-
iaily Turkey and Cuba -Duties on Tea
and Conee May be Advocated.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-Prcsident
Cleveland has been devoting "a great
deal of time to his annual message
during the past week, and now has it
well in hand, so that IL can be finished
in "a couple Of days. 1t is expected to
I've one OF the abIcst public documents
Mr.. Cleveland has written during his
two terms. IL will be in a sense his
farewell to the American people as
their chief executive and there is little
doubt that he will embrace the oppor-
tunity To mark out the course he be-
licvcs ought to be followed by the
ancc and development of the honor and
prosperity Of the country.
Foreign affairs will naturally claim
considerable attention and the Presi-
dent will have an opportunity to con
graduate congress and the country
upon the solution of the Venezuelan
boundary controversy in a manner
honorable and satisfactory alike To the
United states and to Great Britain
and Venezuela. The condition of af-
fairs in Turkey will he discussed in de-
tail. and the President will show that
the ordinary diplomatic agencies have
Sutliccd for h protection of American
life and property in the Turkish en-
dire.
The last paragraphs of the message
to he written will ~ those dealing with
the situation in Cuba. He will avail
himself of the latest possible informa-
ton as tn the military situation in the
island and the prospects for the early
success or failure of the insurgents
may have much to do with shaping his
policy. Present indications are that
ne will make no radical rccommcnda-
tions on this subject. Other foreign
questions in which the United States
are Interested will be touched upon
briefly.
Secretary Carlisle is preparing data
looking to u recommendation for in
crcasing the revenue of the govern
mcnt by imposing revenue duties on
tea and coffee and by increasing the
internal revenue tax on beer. The
President will doubtless express his
approval of these recommendations.
The financial reform recommendations
of the message will be along the line
of Mr.. Clcveland's former recommend
a~tions, and will have rs their basis the
advocacy of the single gold standard
as the OF the monetary SYS'
TEN of the country. The retirement
of the greenbacks n the Sherman
notes will be recommended, SO rs :,
take the government entirely out o.
the business of issuing promissory
notes. Banking reform will BE- rec
commended at the anne time, To enable
the banks of the country to issue cir
culating notes which will lie safe ant
which can be expanded or contracte,
in volume to meet the needs of tn,
business of the country.
Mr.. Cleveland is alive to the ncccs
sity of continuing the expansion of tn,
navy and of constructing coast de
lenses to put the country in II condi
ton to resist foreign aggre ssion, an'
the recommendations on these line
made by Sccrctari cS Lamont and Her
bert in their annual re ports will b
seconded in the message.
