CUBAN CHATTER.
CONTRADICTORY REPORTS ARE
CIRCULATED.
Evidently a CIear Case of Paying
Your Money and Taking Your
Choice-Alieged Attempted Assas-
sinatiOn.

NEW YORK, March ia dispatch
to the World from Havana says:
Maceo's band. now concentrated in
Pinar del Rio, met the columns of
Colonel Hernandez and Colonel Yuclan
near Candeleria on Tuesday. Maceo
has been joined by Randera. Alto
gether the insurgents, nearly 5000
strong, opened fire from dense thickets
on the troops under Colonel Hernandez,
as the latter were proceeding at a
galop.
The Spanish leader threw out
strong skirmishing line consisting Of
the Tariefa battalion and the Victoria
squadron of cavalry and artillery. The
insurgents were driven back, but rail-
lied to second charge, their machetes
in the air. The Spanish troops met
the onslaught firmly and compelled
their assailants to retreat a second
time
In the confusion the Spanish troops
used their bayonets, killing and wound
ing many of the insurgents. Darkness
ended the hostilities. Maceo met with
heavy loss.
The highest rank Spanish officers
killed were Captain Torrojas and Cap
tain Guerrero. The total Spanish loss
vas sixty-six killed and wounded.
Inc engagement was the most serious
which has occurred, being not mere
skirmish, but a formidable contest Of
force.
The lieutenant-colonel commanding
the Luchania battalion and the major
commanding the two companies of the
Tariefa battalion led the charge in
front of their men. They will be pro-
noted. Colonel Yuclan has been re-
commended by Weyler for promptness
as a general of a brigade. He was for
merly a member of Weyler's staff
The insurgents have disappeared
from the railway lines running to Ma
tanzas, Jovellanos, Union De Los
Reyes. Batabano and Guanajay. and
trains proceeded to these points this
morning without obstruction for the
first time in many days. The insur-
gents recently visited the farms of
John Foalo in Banta and demanded
money. Being refused, they afterwards
returned and burned the house, out
buildings and cane fields. Many ami
mails were destroyed From different
parts of the province of Havana come
the stories of the destruction of cane
fields.

BerthcIot Comments UnfRvorably
Iron tho Proposed British Expo
dftion.

PARIS, March 19.-Minlster of For
eign Affairs NJ. Berthelot in the cham
Der of deputies today, commented un-
favorably upon the proposed British
expedition to Dongola and intimated
that France was not inclined to con-
sent TO the use OF the Egyptian surplus
TO defray the expenses of the expedi-
ton.
NJ. Berthelot said that Great Britain
in order to utilize the Egyptian sur
plus to defray the expenses of the ex-
pedition to Dongola needed the author
ity of commission of the Egyptian debt
and had asked rhe acquiescence of
France to such a scheme. But, con-
rinued the minister, that matter seem
ed open to the most serious financial
and political objections, as it directly
endangered the interests of the fund
holders, of which three-ouarters were
French. Besides, ne asserted. the ex-
nedition was offensive and badly de-
fined. It might involve an unlimited
expense which would not only absorb
ti,e f50. 600 asked, but would eventually
ner.haps dissipate The whole reserve.
1.-The proposal made to u.s." added NJ.
Re,~thelot seems to require the unan
irnous consent OF the powers. pro
lorged cheers.)
such consent is equally necessary
from a political point Of view, owing
10 the unexpected and great nodifica-
5ion which the expedition has neces-
sarily caused in the present condition
Of the occupation of Egypt, by draw
ing upon that country dangers with
which it was not threatened.
These dangers are arousing fanat-
;cisrn which may even extend to the
possessions Of France and other Euro
neaai nations. In any case, they tend
srdefiniteiy 10 prolong the occupation
Of Egypt. which occupation on the
M IT of the British government has
constantly been recognized as of
provisional character. Therefore. be-
fore granting cooperation, France
thought 1t necessary to ask for expla-
nations on certain points, and / beg
me chamber to be satisfied with these
explanations as the exchange of views

ernsnsnes,'

a Stern Chase.

BOSTON, March 1.-THE British
steamer Ethelred, Captain Hopkins,
which arrived from Jamaica today, re-
ports that she was chased for an hour
and half by a Spanish cruiser on We'd
nesday March II, while on her outward
passage from this port to Jamaica. The
Ethelred was too fast for the cruiser,
which could apparently make only about
nine knots an hour to the steamers Is
knots. The chase began about 3 p. M,
when the Ethelred was about eight miles
off Cape May. The Spanish vessel hoisted
a flag. The Ethelred did likewise and con-
tinuing on her voyage, paid no further
heed to the warship. The latter. how
ever. at once started in hot pursuit and
continued the chase for 80 minutes, when
she gave it up, as the Ethelred has been
constantly drawing away from her as
she increased her speed about knot an
hour. No shots were fired from the war
ship. The passengers or the Ethelred be-
came greatly excited. The officers of the
steamer claim they were, outside the
three mile limit, and that they were jus
tilted in evading any ATTEMPT to detain
them The Ethelred is notorious through
having been fired upon last summer by
a Spanish cruiser.

PEARSON'S VIEWS.
Mr.. Pearson Rep.) of New York fol-
lowed. He said the good name OF our
public servants constituted a large part
of our national wealth, and a form Of
wealth that he would not barter for all
that lies upon or beneath our soil 1t
gave him no pleasure to join in the HUI
m .liation of a lofty spirit or in the
degradation Of an illustrious name He
could say in candor that he had been
an admirer and supporter of Thomas
F. BayarG-a name that goes back
spotless and shining into the midst of
the middle ages. He wished that the
executive, by timely action. or the am
bassador; by suitable explanation. or
the Democrats of the house, by suit
able concession and non-part;sanship,
had relieved the members of demand
ing the censure of such d man.
In the course Of some remarks upon
protection. which Mr.. Bayard assailed,
the speaker said: THE cause of pro-
lection has triumphed in the last two
elections, and it will triumph in the
one for which we are now preparing;
mind of the American people and they
have a settled conviction that there
will be no return of genuine prosperity
until there is a return of a genuine
American protective tariff, and the man
who will carry the banner of victory
in the coming contest will be the man
who measures up most nearly to the
ideal standard, to the living imperson-
alton of protection"
In closing, Mr. Pearson appealed to
all members to pass the resolution,
saying: Then if our representatives
in foreign lands cannot boast of our
institutions, they will at least pay them
