PREMIER SEEKS A PRETEXT

Something Decisive.

Quick Action by the Captain General
VIII Enable Spain to Avert

Copyright, 1906, by Press Publishing Company
MADRID, Spain (Via Bayonne, France),
Dec. 13.-CNew York World CablegIam-
Special Telegram .)-EuIOpean governments
friendly to Spain are much impressed by the
killing of General Antonio Maceo. They
strongly recommend that Spain adopt a
course which shall ward off intervention in
Cuba by America.
The Spanish government Is rcticent in re-
gard to It's military and political plans for
Cuba, but | learn in political circles that
Premier Canoyas has cabled to Captain
General Weyler, urging him to follow up
quickly the advantage obtained through the
death of General Maceo The premier desires
a decisive military success one that Will
furnish an opportunity for announcing a
new departure in the colonial policy, per-
% mitting Spain to hold out a promise of even
more liberal reforms than those voted by the
Cortes last year. At heart, SenOr CanoVas
wants a plausible pretext to enable him TO
avert interference by the United States,
ARTHUR Il. HOUGHTON.
MADRID Dec. ia meeting of the
cabinet council has been fixed for Tuesday,
this being the first meeting of the cabinet
since President Clovelands message was
transmitted to congress on account of the
illness of Senior Canovas the premier. Ac-
cording to some of the Spanish newspapers,
the question will be raised at this council
of the eXpediency of a confidential note to
the ambassadors Of tho powers here in Ma
drd In regard to President Clevelands
message The cabinet ministers themselves,
however. maintain an absolute reserve on
this subject and therefore any newspaper
statements on the subject are premature.
Reports are current here that the question
has been raised of calling attention to the
prejudice caused to the interests of Spain
by defects in American legislation in that,
despite the good faith of the Washington
government siXty-four flibustering eXpedi
tions organized in the United States have
landed in Cuba, without whose aid the
Cubans could not have continued the war.
Notwithstanding the currency of these re-
ports, II can be authoritatively stated that
nothing has yet been decided upon and II
is believed in some quarters that the cabi-
net ministers will postpone taking any reso-
lutions on the subject of President Cleve-
lands message.
In an interview with a corresp spondent for
the Madrid News CAPTAIN General Weyler
9tate9 he had returned to Havana in order
to dsperse the rebels who are flocking into
the province OF Havana. He says he will
then return to Pinar del Rio where he hopes
to effect the pacifcation in three weeks. Cap
tain General Weyler said to this correspond
ent that Maceo's death was a terrible blow
to the insurgents, that they had no other
general equal to him in prestige and that
many insurgents were likely to abandon
their arms In consequence of his death.

June 2, 1896, writes: In October, 1895. I

i grew gradually worse. NV left loin
swelied up so they had to apply seventeen
leeches to the affected parts, but it failed to
relieve the pain. 1t went so far, that my
limbs, hands, feet, even my toes and fingers,
seemed 10 be totally paralyzed and / was
unable to move. / thought could live no
longer, as / felt numb all over. While we
were almost in despair, your remedies were
recommended to US. My husband began
giving me DIR. PETERS BLOOD VITALIZER
and rubbed me where the pains were sever

many bottles of the medicine but it did not
take long before / commenced to feel re-
lieyed. An idea of my weakness can be had
when 1t is remembered that could not
partake of any food except milk, my stomach
refusing to digest anything else. My return
OF strength was gradual, but sure was
careful TO take the Vitalizer in strict ac-
cordance with the directions. In three
months 1 was on my feet again. / thank

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Twelve
miles down the Arkansas River Gen. j. w.
Davidson crossed over the river on the
Little Rock side with his cavalry Sept. 10.
1863. Longs Division of infantry kept up
the river on the opposite side. Every inch
of ground that we cavalrymen gained was by
hard fighting. Co. M, Sd Iowa Cav, was in
the advance. Gen. Davidson rode up to
Col. Noble, Afterwards Secretary of the In
terror, and called for eight men to 90 through
the lines, and if+here was anything of a
serious nature calculated to entrap or harass
us some were to report back.
What we did Gee after we passed their
skirmish-iine wassa running army. Not
man offered to interrupt our course and we
chased on to the State House square, and at
one corner sat Gen. Price aud his body
guard.
One Of our fellows said: Boys, let's take
Gen. Price in" Saidfwe: No; we are too
old for that" But Comrade Cline said,
pll take him in,'' and away he went. All
we had to do was look on. He rode as
straight as q Decline and Gen. Prices body
guard held their revolvers at him and he
surrendered. He went with them, but in
some three months we got him back. I'il
assure you we had the laugh on him.-G. r.

from Jacksonville on our march into the
interior of Florida. through the principal
streets of the city. at the outskirts of which
we halted. stacked arms, and rested until
the remainder of tie brigade joined us in
the afternoon. This was Feb. s, 1864
Orders Were then received TO fall in, with
the right flank company as skirmishers in
advance, continuing on the march with oc-
easional rests without anything of interest
happt ming until IL p. M, when the skirmlsn-
ers discovered rehs in front drawn up III line
to receive them. They made no show OF hight,
however, and quickly gave way, the Skin
mishers following on run and capturing

General by that name.
The Confederate quarters here consisted of
wooden barracks, and the boys soon gathered
such spoils of any value as could be found.

ROUTING BUSHWHACKERS.

How the 18th Mo. Cav. Raided Their Camps
in the Southwest in 1868.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I will give
brief account of scout in southwest
Missouri, northwest Arkansas, and Indian
Territory, about the 1st of November, 1863,
by the 18th Mo. Cav. The country had
been overrun with guerrillas, who were
killing Union men that were at home, and
stealing the horses and other stock. They
had friends all through the region, and if
scouting party started in any direction
the news was apt to 60 before them.
Our contemplated scout was south. We
started west about 90 miles. We camped
for awhile for supper, then took the woods
south, while the news was going west. We
went by way of Sarcoxie to Newtonia, New
ton County; thence to Pineville, Mcdonald
County, in the southwest corner of the State
of Missouri.
We there divided the command in three
squads for scouting purposes. Sent the
wagon-t train, with rs men as an escort, to
the head of Spavanau, q stream that runs
southwest into the Indian Territory. The
three squads took the country in abreast
through the woods.
During that day we had several hand-to-
hand engagements with the guerrilla bands
that camped in the hollows along the little
streams. We met the wagon train at the ap-
pointed place. The next morning we struck
up and down the hollOws from Spavanau to
Cowskin, breaking up the camps of the
guerrillas all through that country.
The three squads met at Maysville, in
the Cherokee Nation. Thence we went up
Spayanau, breaking up several camps in the
route to Bentonville, Ark, on the 18th
day of November, 1863. We stayed there
two days and went in search of o noted
guerrilla with 600 men. He got word of our
coming and crossed the Arkansas River.
We then started for Headquarters again
through the woods, paying particular atten-
tion to all the guerrilla camps that we came
across.
We were in the saddle on that scout II
days and nights before we got whole
nights sleep, aud during that time broke up
more than dozen camps of these maraud-
ers that had been scouting through the
from the Arkansas to the Usage
River in Missouri. The distance covered
was about 200 miles. We had no losses,
This branch Of the service is never spoken
Of in your paper, but this service is none the
less deserving. It is but just to the men of
the 18th Mo. Cav. to say that while they
lid not have the same opportunities as other
regiments to win laurels on the field in
,pen combat, they are none the less deserv-
ng praise and gratitude Of the county
