It is reported according to the iMiptch, 'hat Captain General U >yler has b en wounded at the front. AH news fiom the rcene of o. the eiigaeeKient is suppressed hy tne officials at the pa'ace. The He»ald, commenting upon the .foregoing dispach, says: The top >rt that Maceo had cross, d the trocha is in line with the expocti.- 'ion of the Cuban junta in this city. Since General Maceo, by. order of General Gomez, and in defianee of General Weyler. invaded the provmce of Pinar del Rio in March last. Spanish as weli as as Cubanre ports have reported him again and again as having crossed the trocha constructed by Genenl VVeyler 'o keep him from rejoining Gomez. The Spaniards have reported his crossing of the line in disguis* as his w>y of getting cut of th) trap into which, according to them he had entered. The Cubans, on the other hand, however, hud him crossing in defiance of the alleged security of the Spanish tr c a. Maceo has from time to time stited to those suppos'd to be ii communication with him that he wcu d cross the line whei it would be 'iine for him to meet General Gomez again in Havana Os Matanzas province.

ROME GEORGIA, TUESDAY EVENING DECEM3£RB, 1896 CLEVELAND SHIP. w hat Mr- Cleveland Said About The Cuban Question MEANS A GREAT DEAL At Least That is the Interpreta tion Made by Mem on the In side at Washington. Mr. Crisps Flowers. Washing on, De:. B.—The por ion of President Cleveland’s mes sage about Cuba means that Mr. C eve'anu has given Spain notice to close work in Cuba in three m Hiths. The president’s state ment that, there is a limit to the patience ot this country is i >oked upon by many here as the in si linpor ant part of.the message. Tne first part is designed to pre vent bast' action by the house or senate, and the last part, as stated* is a mild repetition of a forcible notice given Spain in November. ■Veil posted men look for decisive action oy Mr. Cleveland by the first of February. If his inten ion was not to deal with Spaia himself, it is not be liev dbe would have written th« ast p rt of the message. He would have left his threat unmade and quietly turned the whole t hing over o EeCinley. The excitable parti;. 8 ns oi Cuba in both houses de. uouuced the message as pro-Span ish, and ta k in a hot headed way about it but those on the other side say it is all right. None of the silver men agree with the proposlls as to monetary reform. The gold Democrats, how ever, applaud it. Judge Turner agrees with the entire message and pronouu°es it a an able and fitting farewell message. He had a p eas ant chat at the White House with the presieent yesterday as to bank matters.
