WeyIer's Vail of Spanish BGyO-
nets WWRot Stop Maceo.

HAVANA, April 21.-Geueral Weyler
has succeeded in accomplishing what
MARTINEZ Campos ands other Captain
Generals have attempted in vain. lie
has built a trocha across the island and
kept it intact for two weeks That the
present trOeha Is formidable, even the
parrots admit.
Weyler raised the force Of the trocha
20 % coo, and gave 1901 more for use in
dying columns acting in conjunction
w tn those on the line. The troops were
set to work building forts, digging
trenches and stretching barricades. The
work has been pushed night and day,
and the best trocha Spain has ever built
sn Cuba now COZ fronts Maceo.
The patriot General has Sc word to
his friends in Havana that he will break
through the trocha when lac is ready
and that when the first showers of rain
fall the Captain Generals plans will
turn to dust.
Maceo's own rcCs, with those of
Bandera and Delgado number about
$4,000 men. They have been in the
hills around Lecbuza, 10 miles west of
the trocha, for TWO weeks. They have
plenty of provisions and have the whole
province of Pinar del Rio at their backs.
They have some ammunition. They
nearly wiped out of existence the col
ann commanded by Lieutenant Colonel
Debos. who attempted to drive them
out of the hills and was driven to the
shores of the Caba.Gs Bay. A second
combination of flying columns failed to
dislodge the patrols. Meanwhile the
main body Of Spanish troops holds the
trocha.

The figures.

The washington Post says it is
comparatively easy to pick out the
States that win send free coinage
delega ions to the Democratic Con
vention at Chicago, but it is not so
easy to figure that Democratic
nominee on free silver platform can
be elected 1t add:
There will be 447 votes in the next
electoral college, so that 224 will be
a majority. OF this number 128 will
surely be cast for an anti-silver can
didate by New York, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland,
and New England. This will leave
the other SO to be secured in the
Middle West I'D Northwest, a task
which at this time, seems to be al
most certain of fulflllnent.
The chances are all in favor of the
anti-free coinage candidate 10 the
negative column are 2O6 electoral
votes, only eighteen less than are
necessary for majority. Nor can
any one of these votes be questioned.
The existing conditions certainly in
dictate that as against a Democratic
silver candidate, the Republican
States of Iowa, Ohio, Minnesota,
Michigah, Wisconsin, and the two
Dakotas, would still remain in the
Republican column.
Out of the 1lS votes in the doubt
full column, the sound money candi-
date has only to secure eighteen,
while tae silver ticket must carry
100. The law OF probability is en-
tirely with the former.

Wby II Vas Done.

AT meeting Of citizens held in
the court horse in March, 1894, the
following action was taken:
1t was resolved that, for the ne1t
year, the tax for town purposes
e"ght not to exceed fifty cents on
the hundred dollars of assessed value.
TINS would call for curtailment of
expenses and suspension OF extended
puohc mprovements, aud it was un
derstood that those named on tie
ticket would accept this idea AS n
platform. IL was resolved that the
salary of mayor ought 10 be reduced
to 500 per annum and that of ser
geant to $3.50 and commissions"
The council elected at that time.
for reasons best known to themselves,
did not see fit to carry out the wishes
OF tue people and made the sergeant's
salary $3.50, aud later on Increased
1t $50 making the salary $500 which,
considering everything. was not too
much, but the people had expressed
themselves otherwise, and their opin.
ion should have had some WEIGHT
with the couLcll.
La the last issue of the fazewell
Republican appeared an article sign
Ell IL in which the writer, after
stating the situation. says:
There is one more fact which
ought to be stated. The only issue
made by the friends OF the old ser
geant IN the convention TO nominate
councilmen, both last year aud tins.
was To see that minority of the
councilmen were favorable 10 him DO
ing appointed sergeant The norni.
nation and election Of a majority Of
the present council was with the inn
Piled understanding that ho was TO
be continued, aud no reduction of
salary was contemplated.
III it had been suspected that
majority of the present council would
under any circumstances fail TO req
pond to tho wishes of the majority of
the voters and tax payers OF the town.
another set of men would have been
nominated aud elected"
We desire 30 say that the friends
of the "old sergeant made no fight
whatever in the meeting held this
year, but, as we understand it, the
hight was to secure a good council.
one that would do all in their power
to reduce taxation. aud 10 do this il
was necessary to make reductions in
salaries all around. The council has
done it's duty, as they have obeyed
the voice of the people in this mat.
ter as will be seen from the extract
published above from the extract
published abt We from tepresodta
tive meeting of the people.
The same conditions that existed
IN 1884 exist now, and, so far as we
can hear, the people are still of the
same opinion that they were when
they passed the above resolution.
