On both sidei , of the military line drawn across the province of Pinar del RiQ from Marich , througil Cluanajay and Artcmlqa , b a roint near Mangils , are Insurgent bands trying to pass traIn one part at tile country to tile other , but they have been frequently repulsed at different points , although some of them are believed to have succeeded in passing south of the line. It is said tileSe attacks wore only feints made with the in- tentlon of attracting as ninny troops as pos- ibio nortilward , in order that some of tile inturgonts Inight sill ) througll on the sauth- em coast.

Itlinlor ( hilt Ills Presence IInN Grent l'ilItlcnI Sigitillenlice. , IIERLIN , April 9-The North German Gazette says that tile imperlal , chancellor , Prince Hellenlohe , accompanied by his wife , has b en in ParIs , several days incognito and that they wIll go train Paris to ylenna. PARIS , April P.-The Imperial German chancellor , Prince Hohenlohe , arrived here on Itonday. Ills visit Is said to be In con- nectioal with some property which his wife inherited in France. It will be remembered that the visit of the chancellor to St. Petersburg - burg at tile time the understanding between Germany and Itubsia regarding the terms of settlement of the Chinese-Japanese war was taking form , was also said to he with a view' ' to looking after his wife's interest in a RussIan estate. In view ef the shifting course o political events and a general be- Itet tllat a rcadjuHtment of European relations - tions Is jtist now going On , the visit of tile German chaqceho1 ! would be bo9nd to give rise to coniment naIl all sorts of surmises. hut ; the mysterious iimanner of the visit and the fact that the presence of Prince Hohen- hobo in the French capital should have been a profound secret from Monday until Thursday - day , appeals to the public with an almost sensational interest. The acquiescent attitude assumed by Ger. many toward the Nile expedition manifested by Its consent as one of the guaranteeing powers to the use of tile Egyptian debt sur- 1)11(5 for defraying Its cost , was a profound disappointment to France. Germany's openly expressed antipathy to Gicat Britain and its bitter resentment of l3ritish ngresslon upon tile Transvaal , as well as a desire maui- feted In several instances by the German government for more cordial relations with Russia , lIed lcd. France to count upon Ocr- man opposition to the British project for occupying the. upper Nile basin. These ilopes are appreciably revived by tile publicatIon of tile I1eVS of I'rince Hohenloho's visit , and a hundred stories are afloat tonight tilat the cilllflCoiiOr comes on a polItical mission Instead - stead of on private business , and thlat he ilas had conferences with melnbers of tue French government regarding tile attitude of France toward the Egyptian question , with relation immediately to tue Nile ox- peditlon and ultimately to the desire df France for tile I3rltisil evacuation of Egypt.
