In Havana and Matanzas Provinces
the Captain General Says No
Rebels Are Left,

WASHINGTON, Jan 25.-The almost
complete pacification Of Havana and
Matanzas provinces in the western part
of the island Of Cuba is announced in
the following dispatch received at the
Spanish legation here late last evening
from the Spanish minister of foreign
affairs:
'Weyler, at the head Of fourteen
battalions, has repeatedly traversed the
provinces of Havana and MatanZas,
obliging the principal rebel leaders to
fly to Las Villas. Weyler considers that
now in Havana and Matanzas there re-
main no nucleus of rebels or organized
bands to disperse, and that both prov
inces may be considered as almost COM
pletely pacified. The sugar growers in
these provinces are now grinding cane
without molestation."
The officials of the legation regard
the achievements of Gen. Weyler and
the announcement Of the foreign af-
fairs Office as Of great Importance. The
center part of the island, they say, has
been in a state Of pacification, and now
that the western part has been brought
to a similar state, the rebels, it is stat
ed, are confined in their movements to
some of the eastern provinces.
Following close on this announce
ment, it is expected that Premier
Canovas will promulgate the reforms
for Cuba voted by the Cortes in 1895,
but withheld until the island shall have
been regarded as pacified to a degrees
warranting their application.

and by II o'clock realized that, while the
returns from the country might change the
result, the success Of my opponent was more
than probable. Confidence resolved itself into
DOUBT, and doubt in turn gave place to resig-
nation. While the compassonless current
sped hither and thither, carrying It's mes
sage OF gladness to foe and Its message Of
sadness to friend, there vanished from my
mind the vision OF a president in the White
mouse perplexed by the cares Of state, and
In the contemplation of the picture Of citi-
zen by his freside, free from official respon-
sibility, fell asleep"
The book ends with the following poem
written by Ella Wheeler Wilcox:
However the battle is ended,
Though proudly the victor comes
With futtering flags and prancing nags
And echoing roll Of drums.
Still. truth proclaims this motto
In letters of living light,
No question is ever settled
Until 1t Is settled right"
Though the heel of the strong oppressor
May grind the weak in the dust.
And the voices Of fame, with one acclaim,
May call him great and just,
Let those who applaud take warning
And keep this motto In sight
No question is ever settled
Until 1t is settled right"
Let those who have failed take courage;
Though the enemy seems to have won;
Though his ranks are strong,if he be In the
wrong,
The battle is not yet done;
For, sure as morning follows
The darkest hour of night
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right"
o, man bowed down with labor;
., woman young, yet old!
y, heart oppressed in the toiler's breast
And crushed by the power of goldI
Keep on with your weary battle,
Against triumphant might:
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right"

INDICTMENTS FOR EIGHT.
Grand Jury Is Still After Crooked
City officials.

Three more indictments have been
returned as the result of the municipal
investigation on the part of the grand
jury.
The grand jury reported for work
yesterday morning, but had little to do
in the way of examining witnesses. But
one was called, and then the jury went
into session for the purpose Of voting
upon indictments. This work kept them
busy until noon. In. the meantime
J. B. Bassett held consultation with
members of the grand jury relative to
the probabilities of Charles r Haney
testifying in the investigation but he
appeared i'll at ease, and not at all
satisfied.
At noon the jury made a report to
Judge Belden, and handed in eight in
dictments. Of these three were of that
bulky kind which were used in the cases
of Haney and Durham. There was no
secret about these indictments in a gen.
eral way. County Attorney Peterson
ordered bench warrants issued for them
at once, but as they were lengthy af-
fairs, the clerk Of courts could not get
them copied in time to be served last
night and the sheriff made up his
mind that his men would not escape
him, and so waited until this morning.
when the public will be made aware
of a part Of the result Of the lengthy
investigation. The three indictments
are against some Of the parties con-
nected with the municipal government.
In open court, Mr.. Peterson stated
that he would be with the grand jury,
and hard at work for at least three
weeks more, which proves that the
grand jury is not yet through with its
housekeeping, and has many more
strings to its bow. 1t is limited that
the next work will have something to
do with the police department, and that
the investigation will be as thorough
in that direction as heretofore
It transpired that the grand jury
was making great Roadway in its
work until it took the adjournment for
the holidays, and then apparently some
one got at the witnesses and fixed mat
tiers up, for little more could be CLEANED
after the holiday season was over. This
exasperated the jury considerably, and
they handled some of the witnesses
rather roughly The jury will be in
session again this morning.

AMERICAN PRISONERS.
List of Those Who Have Been Ar
rested in Cuba.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Responding
to a resolution of inquiry, the president
today sent to the senate a list Of per-
sons claiming to be citizens Of the
United States who have been arrested
on the island Of Cuba since Feb. "a,
1895. The list was accompanied by
letter from Secretary Olney in which
he states that since the breaking out
of the instruction to the present time
seventy-four such persons have
been arrested, while Of these
seven have been tried. These
are Julio Sanguilly, Louis Someil-
Ian, Alfred Laborde, William Gildea,
Ona Melton, Charles Barnat and Will
liam Leavitt. In the cases Of the first
two, he says, appeals have been taken
and in the cases of the other five, Com
petitor prisoners, a new trial has been
ordered. Thirty-six of the persons ar
rested have been released after the
charges against them had been invesu-
gated and found to be baseless. Eigh-
teen have been expelled from the island
after periods Of confinement lasting
from a few days to a year. Seventeen
cases are still pending. The charges
against fourteen of the latter vary,
covering sedition and rebellion, rebel
lion with arms in hand, purchase and
ccncealment of arms and ammunition,
disorderly conduct and insults to Spain,
and landing arms; the latter being pre-
ferred against the five Of the Comped-
tor crew mentioned.
In the cases Of Frank ], Larrien, Este
ben Venero and Jose Gonzales. the
charges have not been ascertained,
though demand has been made for
them both at Havana and Madrid, with
a. further demand that they be at once
formulated and communicated, or that
the prisoners be released.
The secretary adds that in addition to
the seventy-four cases, nine correspon-
dents Of various newspapers in the
United States have been expelled from
Cuba by the Spanish authorities. He
also says that no American citizen has
been sentenced to. or Is confined at
Ceuta, and closes with the statement
that demands have been made upon
the Spanish government in every case
where trial seems to be unreaSonably
delayed, that it go forward at once or
that the prisoner be released.

COLD WAVE GENERAL.
Whole Country in the Clutch of the
Ice King.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The reports
received by the weather bureau show
an intense cold wave to be general
over the entire United States and there
are no indications of relief within the
next twenty-four hours. The temper
allure is now rising slowly in the Mis-
souri, and Upper Mississippi valleys
and over the greater portion of the
lake regions. 1t continues below zero

Decidedly the. coolest weather Of the
winter is being experienced here, the
thermometer descending close to the
zero point. At II O'Clock tonight it
registered 49, 8 degrees, q. and the
signal officers think it will reach
zero by morning. The suffering
of the poor has increased greatly
and there are numerous appeals to the
charitable organizations for food and
fuel and to the free lodging houses
and police stations for shelter from
the biting blasts. Up to this time there
have been no fatalities reported from
the cold
