AddresS-Modest Response Of the

OMAHA, NEBR., April s.-The intro.
duction of Marquis Yamagata, Field
Marshal of Japan, to Omaha this after
noon was marred by steady downpour
of rain. Brigadier-General Coppinger,
commander of the Department of the
Platte and staff and a guard of honor of
100 men from Fort Omaha, greeted the
Marshal when he stepped from the train.

tary carriages in waiting and the party was
conveyed to the Millard Hotel.
When the party arrived in the hotel ro-
tunda General Coppinger said that he was
glad to welcome Marquis Yamagata to
Omaha and as soldier, to extend to him
the congratulations of the Army of the
Department of the Platte. The reception
that he had received in Omaha, said the
general, was one that he must expect to
receive from all army men throughout the
civilized world who appreciated what he
had done in the late war against great
odds.
The world had watched the struggle
with keen interest, and he and his officers
wished to add their congratulations with
others.
Field Marshal Yamagata bowed his ac-
acknowledgements and in reply said that he
was greatly pleased with the reception
accorded him. but that he did not think
that he deserved it.
He had not expected to be received in
such a manner, and he appreciated the
honor thus conferred upon him. He had
but done his duty, something that all men
should do.
The programme for the Marshaps enter
tainment has not been made out, General
Coppinger stating that the Marshal's own
wishes would be followed entirely. There
will be no parade at the fort, but in all
probability he will be escorted to Fort
Crook, the new post, in the morning.

HAVANA, CUBA, April (via Key West,
Fla, April s).-The Cubans are greatly
encouraged by the action of Congress.
They say it is certain to have good moral
effect and hope for practical benefit also.
Members of good families are leaving
the cities and towns to join the insurgents
in great numbers. The severe enforce
ment OF Weyler's DEGREES is driving many

The Government has so far failed to
crush Maceo in the western province. He
is west of the strong line between Marcel
and Maiana, but several parties have
crossed and entered Havana Province
Lacret, with 5000 men, has entered from
the east. All the wires west and south are
cut and no accurate news of the move
ments of the insurgents is obtainabIe.
The Government has been silent for four
days, although it Is known here several
important engagements have been fought.
The hospitals are crowded with wound ed
and sick soldiers. Now that the yellow
fever season is beginning there is no room
for the victims. The prisons are also filed
with political suspects. The Government
was obliged 10 transfer seventy-six from
Cabanas fortress to the city prisons.
Gomez was last reported in Santa Clara
province, moving in the direction of
Sugsnea Valley. His forces entered the
important town of San Juan de Las Veras,
taking supplies and ammunition.
The troops shut themselves in the forts
aud allowed the town hall and several
other buildings to be burned. Refugees
from the town have arrived at RanchueIo.
The Spanish gunboat Alvarado was
badly damaged by the rebel fire in at
tempting to enter the port of Marabi, near
Baracoa. The balls shattered the rudder,
penetrated the deckhouse plating and
traversed the sides. The gunboat returned
to the attack three times, but finally went
to Baracoa for repairs. The official report
says one sailor was wounded.
During night attack upon the town of
Hoyo Colorado, about fifteen miles west of
Havana, the Spanish troops shot and
killed four women and two children and
wounded others. The troops occupied
four forts. The Insurgents entered the
town, crawling on hands and knees, fired
upon the forts, burned number of houses
and retired. The troops later, seeing a
group OF people on the principal street,
fired volley from the fort, mistaking the
women and children for insurgents, owing
TO the darkness. The accident is greatly
deploTed.
Seven prisoners of war, condemned to
be shot in Cabanss fortress Monday morn
ing, have been respited pending vote of
the House. The general belief is that
siuce the action of Congress no more in
surgents will be publicly shot under the
bandit decree. There is nothing new in
the cases of Walter Dygart and other
American citizens imprisoned.
