MONTGOMERY READY FOR SEA.

New York, Jan. 19.-The United States
cruiser Montgomery, which has been in
dry dock at the Brooklyn Navy yard un.
dergoing repairs to her keel, port propel-
Ter and one Of the plates forward OF her
propeller, which were damaged in the ac-
cident off Governors Island last week,
was fioated to-day and is ready for sea.
The report OF the court Of inquiry to fix
the responsibility for the damage to the
cruiser will be forwarded 20 Washington
as soon as it is completed. Further sound
ings off the point where the vessel struck
will probably be taken TO determine def
nitely what the obstruction was with
which the Montgomery came in contact.
Soundings were taken on Sunday last
and it was then reported unotficially that
no ledge OF rock extended out far enough
TO endanger the ship had she been in a
proper position. The existence Of sucha
ledge was the claim set up by Captain
Bradford the Mongomery's commander.
The news & observer., 1897-01-20
Captain General Weyler Will
Push His Foross Eastward.
TO MEET MAxIMo GOMEZ
Ii He Returns Without Ac-
complishing Something
HIS RECALL. EsAX SOON EeslLoW
insurgents Attack Placetas-- Six We're
kiited--Spanlsh Lost Thnee--
A, lady and Her Baby
Wounded.

Havana. Jan. 19.-At 8 o'clock this
morning Captain General Weyler, accom-
panied by his son, aides de camp, Chief
of Staff Escribano, Col. 0mingo, Gov
ernor Porrura, and Chief OF Police, left
the palace in a coach going by the high
way to Luyano, and escorted by FIVE
squadrons Of cavalry.
1t is the Captain Generals intention
to concentrate the Spanish forces on the
outskirts of this city and it is believed
to advance with them eastward and en-
deavOr to compel the insurgents to evac-
uate Havana province preparatory, pos
sibly, to pushing further eastward to meet
the insurgent army under Maximo Co
mez.
4. The opponents OF General Weyler say
that If he returns to Havana again with
out having accomplished something def
mite towards the pacifcation of the is
land, his recall will follow almost i'm
mediately.
Advices from Puerto Principe say that
Sonora Gabriela Varona, the wiwow Of
the insurgent leader Miranda, and Sonora
Eva Adam, wife OF the insurgent leader
Alexandra Rodriguez, have been impris-
oned by order OF the Governor Of that
province. Rodriguez is naturalized
American citizen. The women are charg
ed with being connected with a political
conspiracy.
The insurgent Lieutenant Florencia
Labastida has surrendered at Artemisa,
and confirms the news that the insurgent
leader Nunez had been wounded and
abandoned by his band of partisans, with
the exception Of 40 Of them, who were
in the poorest condition Of health and
were nearly naked and had later joined
the band Of the brothers Bucaso and Ro-
berto Bermudez.
General Fuentes has been seriously
wounded in the stomach and has been
brought to Artemisa
An insurgent banner belonging TO the
insurgent leader Pericof Delgado, has
been brought to Artemisa.
A great ball will be given at the Span
ish casino on January 23, the birthday of
King Alfonso OF Spain, for the benefit
