to establish his guilt. Written information
must be made, with all the facts that can
possibly be had through verbal or conf =
dental information.
These requisites will be more exacting in
the towns where all loyal people must con-
tribute to them, as safety there is grea'er'
and as in so doing they will assist the au-
thorities to re-establish order and peace by
cooperating in a strict compliance with
Justice, for which line has been traced by
me.
These informations and materia! proofs
will be sent To this Office to proceed ac-
cordingly, it being understood that will
hold strictly responsible anv officer who
does not furnish the proofs required in the
cases mentioned.
On the occasion OF visit which General
Weyler paid to the casino and opera here
today, the president, Fr ncisco Santos
Guzman, in receiving the distinguished Wis
itor, made short address, in the course of
which he said:
81 have come in the name of the casino
to protest against the injurious calumnies
of some American senators toward Spain
and toward her worthy representatives on
this island, and at the same time to protest
against the resolutions of both houses of
the United States congress in favor OF recog-
nizing as belligerents hordes of rebels. In
so doing they are voting against the rights
of our people and with manifest lack OF
consideration to Spanish loyalty and friend
ship. We reiterate our unconditional adj
hesion to the government OF Spain and to
the person of her worthy representative, at
whose side we are and will be with all we
have.''
General Weyler, in replying. thanked
the casino for its loyal sentiments and as
sured the members that their support
would be utilized when needed. The gem
eral also said he regretted the hostility
which some United Stat .s senators eX-
hibited toward Spain, especially, he ex-
planned, as the Spanish authorities on this
island treat citizens of the United States
with mora consideration and assign to
them more prerogatives than to any other
people. In spite of this, he said, hostility
was manifested toward Spain. IA the
meanwhile, continued General Weyler. he
hoped President Cleveland would perse-
we're in this attitude in his opposition to
recognition.
In conclusion the general remarked:
''There is no reason why the good friend
ship between the two nations should be
altered"
There is no truth in the report in circuIa-
ton that General Weyler has resigned the
position of captain-general of the island of
Cuba. In official circles. it is added, that,
on the contrary. General Weyier possesses
the entire confidence of the Spanish gov
ernment.
Colonel Galvis yesterday was engaged
near Macagua, province of Matanzas, with
the insurgent forces of Maxine Gomez,
cousing considerable loss to the enemy.
Maceo is said to be moving towards the
province of Matanzas. This is said here
to be proof that he has suffered great loss,
in addition to being short of ammunition.
Maceo has made bold march to the
north with view to meeting CaliXto
arms and ammunition. After learning the
Garcia expedition was a failure, Maceo
was unable to move eastward, or to reach
the southern everglades and was compelled
to move west into Havana province.
1t is believed that his purpose was in part
feint to prevent the reinforcements ar
irving at Havana from carrying out their
projected movements. No uneasiness is
felt at the presence of Maceo in Havana
province. He has failed to effect juno
ture with Gomez al is 200 miles sepa-
rated from hip
EXPEDITIONS ARRIVE

surgents have succeeded in landing more
munitions of war at Cuban ports. DR..
Joaquin Castillo, chancellor of the Cuban

ing the safe arrival of three expeditions
in Cuba. The expedition sailed from
southern United States ports during the
last two weeks in three vessels, on
February 20, 27, and 20. The first was a
schooner carrying 175 rifles and 175 900
rounds of cartridges. The vessel landed on
the coast of Santa Clara province between
Caratrares and Sagua la Grande. The
second expedition carried l50 rifles and
10000 round of ammunition and landed
on the coast of Pnar del Rio b cen
Bahia Honda and Mariet. This pply

northern coast of the province of Matanzas
near La Boca, about six miles from
Cardenar.
PRESIDENTIAL PROMISES
MADRID, March g. As a result of the
publication in Ell Dia that the Spanish min
lister at Washington had notified the gov
ernment that President Cleveland would
veto a Cuban resolution, a statement was
made today from an authoritative source
as to the extent of the notification re-
ceived from the minister at Washington.
1t shows that he has kept the government
fully advised of all actual developments,
but has not anticipated anything in any
branch Up to the present time the minis
ter has not notified the government that
the president will veto the Cuban resolu-
ton, nor is he informed so far as the gov
ernment knows, what the future course of
the executive authorities at Washing
ton will be. AT the same time the

ceived by the news agencies at Paris, Lon
don and Madrid, and some of these recent
dispatches widely published throughout
Europe as indicating the probable course
of the administration at Washington have
borne the stamp of authenticity and have
been accepted as semi-official and author-
tative. They have been regarded by off
cials as we'll as by the general public as cor
rectIy forecastlng the course of the Wash
ington authorities. To these the Spanish
minister at Washington has not added his
official advice nor has he stated that he has
any Information as to the future of the
Cuban resolutions.
There have been renewed demonstrations
Of hostility to the United States today at
Valencia, Alicante and Dcloreo. There
was also a demonstration of sympathy
made before tho French consulate at VAL
encia. The French consul appeared upon
the balcony in response to the acclama.
tions of the crowd and saluted them.
The news from the United States of the
insults to the Spanish flag by the students
of Princeton university have produced the
greatest indignation in this city, and they
were discussed warmly at the cafes, thea
ters and clubs.
Dispatches from Havana say majority
of Cuban merchants have agreed to boy
colt the products of the United State.
The press, with few exceptions, advise
the government to indulge no illusions as
