WEYLER WOUNDED
tc Captain General Injircd In in'
Engagctpcn r .
DETAILS OF BATTLE SUPPRESSED
AU New* Froift the Scene of the Fisht
Cos>c = aled by the Span'ah
Official*.
Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. B.—A dis
patch from Havana -states that Antonie
Maceo has crossed the trocha with a
large force. It is reported that Captain
General Weylerhas been wounded. All
news from the scene of the engagement
is suppressed by the officials at the pal
ace.
Commenting on the above, the New
York Herald says:
“The report that Maceo has crossed
the trocha is in line with the expecta
tisns of the Cuban junta in this city.
Since General Maceo, by order of Gen
eral Gomez, and in defiance of General
Weyler in Pinar del Rio in March last,
the Spanish as well as the Cuban re
ports have represented him again and
again as having crossed the trocha con
structed by General Weyler to keep
him from rejoining Gomez.
“The Spaniards have reported hi's
crossing of the line in disguise, as his
way of getting out of the trap into
which, according to them, he had en
tered. The Cubans, on the other hand,
have reported his crossing, as stated, in
defiance of the alleged security of the
Spanish line. Maceo has said, accord
ing to the statement of those supposed
to be in close communication with him.
that he would cross the line when it
should be time to join General Gomez
in Havana or Matauzas province.
“According to the recent dispatches.
General Gomez was in Santa Clara
province, near Matauzas, with his ex
treme vanguard already near Havana
itself. Some of his men are said to
have participated in the raid on Guana
bacoa, just across the bay from Ha
vana. on Dec. 1.
“Under such circumstances it would
seem that the moment has come when
Gomez and Maceo would naturally wish
to combine their forces for a strong at
tack on the Spanish army.”
Americana to Join tlie Cabans.
Kankakee, Ills., Dec. 8. —A company
of 20 young men went south over the
Illinois Central railroad, bound for New
Orleans/ They will be joined by 60 oth
ers from various parts of the United
States and the entire party will ship for
Cuba on the first outgoing vessel and
will join the insurgents. The party was
iircommand of J. B. Hartman, an ex
regular soldier, who served five years in
Uncle Sam’s service and saw much hard
fighting in the Indian campaigns in
South Dakota and Montana.

CASTORIA

The sac-
Me Kinley Will Name Postmasters.
Washington, Dec. 8. —During the
first few weeks after President-elect
McKinley assumes his duties he will
have the privilege of making about 150
nominations of presidential postmasters.
The senate during its session will have
about 400 cases up for action. During
the recess of congress there have been
164 nominations of postmasters which
must now be submitted to the senate
for confirmation or rejection. All nom
inators to fill vacancies caused by the
expiration of commissions of postmast
ers at presidential offices during this
month and January and February must
also be submitted together with nomi
nations for about 50 lower class offices
which were raised to presidential rank
on Jan. 1. This will swell the number
to 400.
MEXICANS~ DISAPPOINTED.
Sorry That Grover Does Not Favor the
Recognition of Cubans.
City of Mexico, Dec. 8. —There is a
keen feeling of disanpointment here
that President Cleveland could not see
his way clear to recognizing the bel
ligerency of the Cabans, for Mexican
sympathy is undoubtedly with them
and this country and most of Latin-
America, with the possible exception of
Chili, is ready to follow the lead of the
great republic, and today it is said here
that McKinley will take a more gener
ous attitude. The Mexican Herald says:
. “President Cleveland exnresses sym
pathy for the Cuban patriots, but agrees
that they have abandoned even the pre
tense of government in those portions
of the island that thev occupy and he
contends that the ineffi dent semblance
of authority kept up by Captain Gene
ral Weyler is all there is ;>f the legal
and constituted government in Cuba.
The commercial reason for the uonre
cognition of the Cubans is shown in his
statement that almost $50,000,0<)0 Amer
ican capital is invested on the island
which would be jeopardized by accord
ing belligerent rights to the Cubans,
for, as matters stand, the damages sus
tained by American investors in Cuba
constitute valid claims against Spain.
“In a word there is a gordion knot
within reach of the American president
and he will not cut it. He is plainly
controlled by the advice of his secretary
of state, Mr. Olney, whois a cold and
calculating lawyer, a man who has also
led the president to take a stiff and un
sympathetic attitude toward to Armen
ians. How much weight Cuban estate
holding interests of New England haa
had in councils of the government at
Washington one may not easily discern,
but thepresideut's message will suit that
restricted and comfortable group who
purer actuar* co me reoognitlon or UU
ban belligerency that mighi-impfwil.the
security of damages later on.
“The Cnban patriots will have to
await the action of President McKinley
and Lutin-America, which, with prac
tical ■ unanimity, will follow the example
pf the United States, must impatiently
abide the change of administration at
Washington.”
..'■Use. Cuttle sjoffirsmtlne
Ottawa, Dec. B.—Hon. A. S Fischer,
minister of agriculture, will be in Wash
ington Dec. 15 and 16. He goes to dis
cuss with the American authorities the
question of abolishing the international
quarantine against cattle. If the Amer
ican government shall agree to abolish
quarantine against Canadian cattle, it is
understood that Mr. Fischer will agree,
on behalf of’ the Canadian government,
to abolish quarantine against American
cattle.
Train Run* Into an Electric Car.
Leavenworth, Kan., Dec. B.—A Bur
lington train ran into an electric car at
the Choctaw crossing, demolishing the
front part of the electric car and se
verely injuring Captain Montgomery of
the pension department of the soldiers
home at Fort Leavenworth and Thomas
Haskins, a member of Company Dos
that institution. The other passengers
escaped injury.
Carlisle Indians to Play Football.
Chicago. Dec. B.—A football game
