ESTABLISHED IN 1823. MACON, GA., TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 24, 189(5. ; n.;.;—j J..-.. J T. . _ ' MI". DAILY, $7.00 A YEAH •tas* m IIo Has Decided to Fall Back to Havana. GOMEZ HAS STRONG GUARD WHILE M A CEO’S ARMY IS IN GOOD fighting xniM. Perhaps the Conditions Confronting the Bloody Spanish General May H«vo In duced Him to Savo Ills Scalp 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. Open Bids for Big Guns. Jacksonville, Fla., Nov: 23.—Bids will be opened tomorrow at St. Augustine foe the erection of additional fortifica tions at Key West to be equipped with four 10-lnch and two 8-Inch high power disappearing guns, eight 12-inch rifled mortars and other lighter ord nance.

Bids will also be opened for fortifications at the mouth of the St. Johns river and at the entrance of Hillsboro bay com manding the approach to Tampa. Officials and contractors, to whom proposals were Issued secretly, have been urged to hurry. 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.

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 should support a bill to increase the tax on beer by $1 a barrel.

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 iwes, and be should bo apared an addi tional, impost.

"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* as the rich man, but they should be given to him Just a* public ocfcools arc given to him,” » "What will be the policy of tho Dem ocratic oonmiittee, senator.

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.
