Perhaps the Conditions Confronting the

Prom a Machete.
New York, Nov. 2S.—The protracted
silence of Commander-ltv-Chlef Maximo
Gomez of live Cuban army, which has
caused considerable anxiety among Cu
bans here ns to his safety, has at Inst
been broken, and the junta In this city
has received a communication from him
dated Das Villas, Santa Clara province.
In It Gen. Gomez says that he ljafl at
his command 35,000 well-equipped men
and that with these he Intends to pro
ceed io Havana, province. The comr
mander-in-chief writes that on account
of the bad condition of the roads it took
this force of mesn twelve hours to paa*
a certain point. Gen. Gomez adds that
he is in good health, aa aTe his men,
and has every hope of victory.
Gen. Weylerfe statement that he will
•wait until after Christmas before he at
tempt* to strike a death blow at the
insurgents under Gen. Maceo in Pinar
del Rio province ie regarded by Cubans
here as an admission that he can do
nothing against the Cubans in their
present invulnerable position,
“It la certainly a showing of weak
ness,” said Delegate Palma today to a
reporter, ‘fend it Is probable that Gen.
Weyler will now return , to Havana.
This -action of Gen. Weyler *will not
only affect his prestige, but also hurt
the Spanish cause, for when Weyler
took the field he said he would defeat
the forces of Gen. Maceo. This he has
failed to do, although his men outnum
bered those under Maceo about three
to one, aa it is said that Maceo has un
der his command not more than 30,000
men. The official statement of Gen.
Weyler, therefore, confirms the claims
of the Cufbans that his campaign in
Pinar del Rio has been a failure.”
WEYLER TO PALL BACK.
The News Is Practically Confirmed by a
Dispatch to Madrid.
Madrid, Nov. 23.—Many contradictory
statements have been received regard
ing the intentions of Capt.-Gen. Wcy-
ler, who is leading the campaign
against Maceo In the province of Pinar
Del Rio, Cuba. It was stated some
days ago that the campaign had re
sulted in i£Ilure and that Gen. Weyler
purposed returning to Havana. This
was denied, and later the statement
was made that the government had in
formed Gen. Weyler that, owing to the
questions of international and domestic
politics, it would not be expedient for
him to return to Havana until he had
won a decisive victory over the rebels.
On top of the conflicting statements
comes a dispatch today from the Ha
vana correspondent of the Irnparcial,
who is generally well informed, stating
without reserve that Gen. Weyler will
arrive In Havana this evening from
Pinar Del Rio. Reliance is placed upon
the dispatch here, It being held that if
it were not true it could hardly have
passed the censor at Havana.

Jacksonville, Fla., Nov: 23.—Bids will
be opened tomorrow at St. Augustine

tions at Key West to be equipped with

tuga*, south of Key West. Bids will
also be opened for fortifications at the
mouth of the St. Johns river and at
the entrance of Hillsboro bay com

8ktrm!shes in Cuba.
Havana Nov. 23.—The official re
ports concerning the movements of the
troop* in the field give only accounts
of skirmishes, with trifling losses on
either side. No news of any moment
has been* received from Pinar Del Rio.
By an explosion of dynamite, a pas
senger train was wrecked today near
Cardona*, province of Matanzas. The
engineer and fireman of the train and
two passengers were hurt. The six
cam composing the train were sot on
fire by the rebels, who caused the ex
plosion. As Is customary, a pilot en
gine was running In front of the pas
senger train.
A Word of Warning.
Paris, Nov. 23.—Tho Figaro, In an
article on the'relation* of the United
States and Spain, in view of the situ**
tion la Cuba, says: “The American
newspapers which are Inciting the
United States to war .flth Spain on
account of Cuba ought to remember
that Spain will have Europe behind
her.”
THAT FLAG EPISODE.
Washington, Nov. 23.—The -Spanish
legation h< not likely to make any com
plaint to this government with reference
tothe action of the student* at New
castle, Del., a few days ago. who de-
•troyed a Spanish flag. There is no
Spanish consul at Newcastle, and the
Incident, to that extent, was robbed of
any official character .•» Moreover both
the Spanish and American government*
have reached eo perfect an understand
ing with refemce to circumstances of
this character that little, If any im
portance, !b attached to them. It was
said at the state department today that
If a Spanish flag displayed from 1 a
Spanish consulate or warship had been
offered nn Indignity the attention of the
•lot* department would be at once di
rected to the matter and a suitable
apology demanded. It hj regarded ns
not unlikely that the “Jingo” pres* of
Spain may attempt to magnify the In
cident. but there Is excellent authority
for ihe statement thnt it will receive n*>
official attention cither ax the hands of
American or Spanish atrtboritftc*.”
Story From Newcastle.
Newcastle, Del.. Nov. 23.—The people
of Newcastle art* much exercised oter
the dispatch from Madrid In Reference
to the alleged burning of .a. Spanish flag
hen last Wednesday night. The inci
dent has l**en exaggerated. The meni-
htff of Company II. D< laware National
Guard, had held a reception and nearly
all had gone, when some one recall d
the remarks In a spcedl by Rev. V s.
Collins, iu which he s*ld (h<* b. Ilig r-
tnt rights of the Cul>:nr i .-'it t . be
recognized. There wen-* then about u
dozen men present and one enthukAat
is satd to have jumped on a table and
tore down a Spanish flag used in the
decorations and destroyed it by burning
It. Some even say it was not a Span
ish flag. The officers of the regiment
will Investigate the matter, which at-
t m< d no att« ntlon until i he dDpati h
front Madrid was received.

ter. was reported to be at Halifax taking

but they have generally turned out to
be groundless.

Rapidly—Dingley BUI.
Washington, Nov. 23.—Senator James
K. Jones, chairman of the National
Democratic committee, reached Wash
ington this afternoon, and will remain
until congress adjourns. A reporter of
tjie Southern Associated Press euw him
At his home shortly after his arrival, to
{whom the senator talked frankly and
dntcrtalnkigly upon several matters of
current interest. He carries In his ap
pearance no trace of fatigue from tho
arduous work of the campaign, hi* mag
nificent physique proving more than
equal to all tho demands made upon it.
He had just come from his hunting fri^
In Southern Missouri, in company with
Mr. Bryan ami Governor .Slone of Mis
souri; which, while not satisfactory from
the game-bag standpoint, was eminently
successful as a heutch-restoriug scheme.
“The weather was too dfry.” said the
senator, in explanation of the failure of
the party t" hag much game. “The leaves
were so dry that It was impossible, owing
to the-noise of rite rustle, to get within
a quarter of.a mile of a deer. But it n
an Ideal place lor a hunt,” continued
the senior.
“I have no ido*;” said Senator Jones,
answering a question iu regard t.> im
probable legislation of the approaching
M-ssiou of con grew, “that anything will,
be done, aside from passing the usual
appropriation ‘bills. It will be a short
session, and it will afford no time in
.which to consider other matters,. As to
tho Dingley bill, what is there Jn the
present condition to make it any moro
acceptable or necessary than it was last
session. I do not see how anything iu
the line of revenue legislation can be
accomplished at this tjession of congress.”
Discussing a pian for raising revenue.
Senator Jones advanced several inter
esting propositions. “Mauy of the man
ufacturers,” he said, "who supported .Mc
Kinley will doubtfess bo surprised at the
character of the bill that will be pre
sented to the country. The conditions
iliat existed when the McKinley bill of
1890 was passed were very different from
those that will confront oongrasa when
it comes to deal with the question. Then
theta "’as & surplus to be dissipated; now
there is a formidable (Jeflciency to be con
sidered. That will make necessary a
radically different sort of measure.
“For myself,” said the senator, “I

WHEEL WORKERS STRIKE.
A Reduction in Wage* Caused Employe*
to Walk Out.
Richmond, Va., kov. 23.—Over 100 of tho
125 employes at the works of the Virginia

below this cltl, went on a strike this morn
ing when otlfled that u reduction of 10 per
cent, in their v.M”es Id.I been made. The
Management Informed them that this had
been made necessary by the fact that tho
trust, with which tho works «ro competing,
had reduced Its prices i.ioiv than 2" per
cent. In the past week, and thnt In order
to meet those prices and live, the Virginia
and Carollnn company had to mako tho cut

tho uloohol ill (beer doe* not pay an equal
tax with that in whisky, and lq the sec
ond place, it is a tax that can be easily
borue. One dollar a barrel means an
additional cost only of 1-G of a cent a
glasa, and the consumer would certainly
not notico that. I do not think that to
bacco should be taxed to any greater
amount than is now levied; 4t is a thliq?
that the <poor man. almost universally

tional, impost. The same citing 4s true

nud for that reason I do not favor taxes

in a bill by itself, tho money would como

"As to tho Income tax, I have not ex
amined the decision of the supreme
court with a view to determining wheth
er or not a measure could be passed
which would produce revenue from that?
source without waiting 1 for an amend
ment to the constitution. A per capita
tax might be levied,” said Senator
Jones, - “but I am opposed to taxing
poverty. I think the property and
wealth of the country should bear the
cost of tho government. Of course, the
poor man receive* Just ns much nnd
tho same benefit* from our lnotitutlon*

“That has not been officially decided,”
uaid Mr. Jones, “and It will not bo
until after a consultation, tho date of
which has not yet been oettlcd. It will
probably not be until after congress
meets. But' I think you can Hay," he
continued, “that the fight will be kept
up until the Issue huo been fought out.”
“When will that be?”
• "When the people of the United Staten
have expressed tli'-lr --pillion -Itn . tiy
upon the question of restoring silver to
the position It occupied prior to *73. The
platform of the Republican convention
w.is a straddD—It did not declare for
the single gold standard, but only for
ita maintenance until bimetallism could
be secured by lnienuoJonnl agreement.
I line h-en assured sine-- tin- election
by Republicans, some of wide reputa
tion, that thousand* of them voted for
McKinley because they believed him to
be a bimetallist, awl that as much
would be done for silver under his ad
ministration as could be accomplished
were Bryan to be elected. And it would
be secured, too, without danger of the
disturbance* that were feared In car..* of
Bryan’s chvtion. There was behind
Major McKinley a largo conservative,
clement which distrusted the radical
suppm-RTS of Bryan; afraid to trust
them with the administration of affairs.
But the Republican* are not united on
this question, and they will have to twt-
tte the matter for themselves between
now nnd 1900. I am firmly convinced,”
added Mr. Jones, with great scrious-
neuj, “that a vast majority of th<* peo
ple of this country dfltfre bimetallism,
and if the Republican* place them
