HAVANA, Nov. 18.-Little news re-
garding Captain General Weyler's oper-
ations against the insurgents in Pinar
del Rio was allowed to leak out from the
palace today. Major Bazan, of the
Spanish commanders staff, however,
arrived here today from the front. He
says the operations are most difficult
and adds that the captain-general slept
two rainy nights on the ground without
blankets, and has been several times
without meals. The major further says
the captain general yesterday was be-
tween Zoroa and Candelaris.
In spite of the fact that weather is
greatly improved in Pinar del Rio, and
the authorities assert that the health OF
troops in the field shows an improve
ment, 700 sick men have already arrived
here, and. 300 more are expected to reach
the city during the day.
Local newspapers are raising popular
subscriptions to provide funds to make
Christmas presents to the troops. Each
newspaper with Ghis object in view will

the great splash made by the projectile
when it struck.
With this small charge of powder
Lieutenant Wheeler said the velocity
was 1 ,470 feet second. With the first
shot, as with all others, the working of
the carriage was perfect. The recoil of
the gun coused it to recede, and an in
stant after the shot was fired the gun
was down out OF sight behind the ram
parts ready to be reloaded. The gun is
thirty feet long and weighs thirty-three
tons. After being charged and aimed it
is easily raised by means1of hydraulic
power to the crest of the parapet..
The second shot was with 205 pounds
of powder. With this the projectile was
sent at the rate of 1908 feet second.
The shot was fred in a dead line with
Execution lighthouse, but struck water
when within mile of it. The next
three shots were made with 238 pounds
of powder each. They were directed a
little to the south of Execution light
house, where they dropped. The projec-
tiles carried about six miles at velocity
of 2014 feet second.
The eoficerslexpressed great satisfac-
ton at the result of the test. Captain
Crozier said the ordinance department
now has under construction 80 gun car
riages of this type for 10 and 12-inch
guns, which are already finished. The
work on the carriages is being rapidly

A OoAsT-DEFENsE GUN TESTED.
Destructive Power of the Monster Ef-
fectively Proven.

Destructive Power of the Monster Ef-
fectIvely Proven:
NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-One of the TO-
inch steering disappearing guns has
been successfully tested at Willet's
point. The trial was under the direc-
tion of Captain w. A. Crozier, who is
one of the inventors of the Burlington
Crozier carriage, upon which the two
guns are mounted. The other gun
and carriage had been tested at Sandy
Hook before they were brought here
Since the two big guns were placed here
they have been the pride of the post.
The work of mounting them was COM
pleted few days ago.
The projectiles which the guns throw
are of steel, with pointed ends. and
weigh 575 pounds each. The one used
in the test at Willett's point was of the
same style and weight, but was made Of
said. to be used in practice, The guns
are loaded at the breach.
When the projectile was raised by
means of small derrick attachment of
the gun and pushed home, charge of
140 pounds of powder was brought in
bags and put into the breech. In a
short time everything was in readiness
for the first shot. Communication was
had with the signal station which had
been arranged at Davis island and Sand
point to be sure the range was clear be-
fore the shot was fred. The gun was
aimed at about due east. Sailing ves-
sells were tacking back and forth across
the range, and it was some time before
the range was reported to be clear. FL
nally Lieutenant Wheeler shouted that
all was ready. The, spectators stuffed
their ears and hraced themselves for the
shock. The officers gave the command
to fire, and Artillery Sergeant Salvage
yanked the lanyard.
There was deafening report, followed
by loud whistling noise made by the
projectile as it. shot through the air over
the heads of the boatmen who were be-
tween the fort and the point at which
the officers had figured the ball would
strike the water. The smoke soon
cleared away, and those ont fort saw

The Retreat to Havana.

KEY WEST, Fla. Nov. 1s.-Passengers

night report that General Luque had
been wounded in Pinar del Rio.
A report was current in Havana that

The Possibility of Bloodsned.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 18.-Under To-
peka, Kan, date, the Star this evening
prints the following:
The turn taken in the Santa Fe re-
ceivership case opens the way for most
serious conflict between the federal and
state courts. Should the receiver ap-
pointed by County Judge Myers finally
succeed in qualifying and demand pos
session of the road, the officers of the
the expectation that Judge Foster, of
the federal court, would assume juris-
diction of the case. His authority re.
sisted by the railroad people, the re-
ceiver's recourse would be to ask Judge
Myers for an order calling out the posse
comltatus to help him to take possession
of the property. Such an order would
authorize the sheriff to summon every
male citizen in jefferson county, if nee
essary, to put the receiver in possession
of the road. Then Judge Foster, pre-
Stunning that he would assume jurisdic-
tion, would order the United States
marshal to appoint an army of special

court. Then the sheriff could call upon
the government for the state militia,
and the United States marshal, in+turn,
could appeal to the secretary of war for
troops, and thus bring on collision be-
tween the state and the federal govern
ments. Nobody looks for anything of
this kind to happen, but Assistant At
torney-General Goddard says there is
ample room In the case for it, and should
the two courts and the parties in inter-
est become, stubborn and lose sight, of
the real merits of the case, a miniature
war would result. But it is likely that
after a little furry of excitement, sober
second thought will come, and the case
will be settled without even coming to a
hearing before any court on it's merits.
