San FRANCISCO. Nov. 25.-In the
superior court a suit has been brought
by JerOmr Caldwell of Los Angeles
against Charles L. Fair, for the posses
sion of certain letters entrusted to the
latter, and which are said to give for
the first time the inner history of the
Great ComsICck.
able correspondence between the late
deceased Far and Caldwell, and ex-
tended from November 1888, to March
1894. The petition alleges that the
plaintiff is the owner of the letters in
question, copies Of which are set forth
in schedule attached to the complaint
that between Jan. 10 and July the
plaintiff, at the request of Charles
l., Fair. intrusted the latter with
the care and custody of letters,
under defendant $ promise that he
would return the same on request. The
object Of the loan was TO make COM

legations run, the plaintiff demanded
of defendant that he return the letters,
but he refused to do so, and in violation
OF his promise, retains them. Ii is
further alleged that the letters are of q

is hard to ascertain their pecuniary

WEYLER'S SIDE
The Cuban Captain General In
tcrviewed by a Newspaper
Correspondent.
Tried Hard to Find a Few In
surgents, but Was Unable to
Locate Them.
The Campaign, He Alleges, Is
in a Highly Satisfactory
Condition.

HAVANA, Nov. .%5.-The unexpected
arrival of Captain General Weyler from
the province of Pinar del Rio without
having been successful in bringing
about an engagement of any import
ance with the insurgents under Antonio
Maceo, is causing considerable comment
here, and there are many rumOrs III
circulation. On one side it is asserted
that Weyler's return means that he will
shortly return to Spain ON some plea or
other. Notwithstanding this is denied,
the impression prevails that there will
shortly be important changes here.
La LucEa's correspondent in the field
had an interview with the captain
general previous to the latters arrival
here from Artemisa and Mariel and it
is gathered from the statements the
captain general is said to have made
that he may not resume personal charge
of the operations against the insurgents
in Pinar del Rio. In this review
the captain general was asked for an
expression of opinion as to the course
of the campaign, and he said: Il am
contented with it. We, entered Rubi,
hoping to give battle to the combined
insurgent forces and you know the re-
suit. They went southwark, much to
our regret. Maceo himself went
towards Mocurrias, Mayria, and Coro-
jail da Yaniguas. Nevertheless, our
columns, in two divisions, arrived
without firing a single shot and only
saw band Of about 10 insurgents i'll
the woods near San Luis"
Maceo's whereabouts Unknown.
The captain general was then asked
if he knew the whereabouts Of Antonio
Maceo at present. He answered:
His whereabouts are not known,
The truth is that the insurgents were
not found in the mountains nor on the
plains. Nevertheless. they boast that
our troops always fly before them
General Weyler was then asked if
many cattle remained in the part OF
Pinar del Rio which he had visited, and
he said Not many. Only few
bullocks and calves remain. The insur-
gents have killed or captured most OF
them and the Spanish columns will
! finish the rest"
Opinion of the Insurgents.
In insurgent circles it is said that
| leaders claim that the return OF
the captain general to Havana without
bringing about an engagement with
| MaceO is equivalent to a defeat of the
| Spanish forces, for the latter have com
pletely failed to carry out the pro
gramme mapped out by the Spanish
commander and he has returned
here i'll every was unsuccessful
1t is asserted that the plal
| of Antonio MaceO was to avoid I
| general engagement with the Spanish
troops, as he feels confident that the
wearisome campaign being conducted
by the Cubans must ultimately exhaust
the Spaniards and bring about the con
ce>sion of all or nearly all the demands

DIFFICULT OF BELIEF.

Washington Authorities Hardly Credit
Reports Of Competitor Courtmartial.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. The state
department has received absolutely no
information of any kind from Havana
or elsewhere concerning the report that
the Competitor prisoners have been
tried in Moro castle by secret and
summary courtmartial. Under these
circumstances no statement Will be
made at the department concerning the
report, but in view of the plain pro-
visions of our treaty, and also Of the
clear requirements Of the domestic
laws of Spain, the officials are loath to
believe that the report is correct. 1t Is
pointed out that under the law
for public order promulgated in Havana
some months ago it is absolutely es-
sential that counsel shall be allowed to
prisoners on trial, and that there shall
be no secresy in proceedings. Under
the protocol of our treaty with Spain,
there likewise is u provision for pub
licity in trials, and for full representa-
tion of accused by counsel. It, Is be.
lieved in view of these provisions of
law that the authorities at Havana
would not make such fragrant breach
of law as the report alleges.
s Examination IL Preliminary.
From further inquiries it is apparent
that the reports concerning the Com
petitor's prisoners are at least based on
a misconception of the nature of the
present proceedings. They have not
yet been placed OH trial i'll the general
sense of the word, the facts being that
the Spanish authorities are making an
investigation of the Competitor cases
similar to that provided for under our
grand jury system, that is, sort Of
preliminary examination.
The consuls and vice cOnsuls Of Spain,
in this country are investigating the
claims of the persons arrested to Amer
lean citizenship. For instance, one ii
the men claims to be a resident of Kan
sas, and the consul for that district Is
ENGAGED in an inquiry as to his citizen
ship, either by birth or naturalization.
From Spanish sources, it is learned
that there is no intention of dealing
with the Competitor prisoners III .

 Editor Upton is the only Demo- cratic candidate thus far announced for probate judge.
 Bisbee has several favored residents wbo have an eye on the recordersbip nomination.
 There are several aspirsnts whose political desires are likely to be pune tured and how crssttallen they will be.
 It understood H. c. Herrick is not sserse to accepting the legislative can- didscy from the Republican oonvsn- ton again.
 w. c. Land, the cattleman and stauuch Democratic supporter, is be- lieved will be before the people this fall as a possible candidate. 
 Some of our citizens think the cam. psign is a rather short one in compsr. ison with the custom of previous years, The PRosPEcToR believes there is noth. ing to be gained ky lengthy cam psign.
