( CopyrlRht , 1WB , by the Ar..nclnted l'io . ) HAVANA , Sept. IS. General KltzhUgh Leo , the United States consul general here was asked today by a representative of I < t > Lucha about the widely circulated reports In seine of the American newspapers charg ing General \Vcylcr with having had a notice posted at Las Cabanos directing that lie , General Fitzhugh Lee , should bo ar rested ami detained there If hu visited the fortress. General Leo was also questioned about statements frequently made In the newspapers of the United States that he was not pernlttcd to visit the American prisoners Incarcerated in the forts near Havana and that , therefore , ho could not keep himself Informed as to the health and conditions of thcso prisoners. Consul Gen eral Leo submitted to an Interview , which Is published this afternoon. Ho said : "A few days after my arrival In Havana , nt the Invitation of my predecessor , Jlr \Vllllums , I accompanied him on a visit to the Competitor prisoners confined at Las Cabanos. Some 'days later I heard that It was against the regulations to allow for eigners to visit military forts nt this time , oven on visitors' day , as It Is called , am ] that the olllcer commanding at Las Cabanos had been reprimanded by General Weyler for allowing mo to make the said visit. The ofllcer In iiuesllon otTercd as an excuse that lila subordinate omcers on duty at the gates did not know me , but supposed I was one of the visitors entitled to enter the forts on visitors' day. 'From abundant caution nnd In order to prevent any occurrence of that sort In future the commanding ofllcer at Las Cabanos , I heard , had a notice posted In one of the guard rooms directing his officers to arrest and detain mo If I should again at tempt to enter the fort. When I heard of this notice 1 at once called General Wey- ler's attention to It and ho very promptly had It rcmovd. 1 am Informed that he reprimanded the olllcer who had posted It. "As to the statcircnts that I am not allowed to see the American prisoners and that the prohibition docs not apply to the consuls of other countries I desire to say that all such statements are Incorrect. I or my representatives , can see any or all the American prisoners at any tlmo that It Is desirable to do so by simply sending notUo to the commanding oftlcer of the fort on the evening before. This being done. the ofllcer Is required by General Weyler to have the prisoners named at a certain point where they can bo seen and talked with alone. If necessary. Only a morning or two ago one of my representatives went over to Las Cabanos and saw and conversed with nil the Competitor prisoners , distributing among them a lot of money which had been Bent to me for their use , as well as a large bundle of American newspapers. I think It hut Justice to General Weyler to state these facts and to add further that I know of no Instance In which ho has made any dls crimination against the consul general of the United Stales who is now and has been in the exercise of all the rights of consuls of other countries. Why , General Weyler has fined a Havana newspaper for using of- fenslvo language about the American con sul general. " _ _ I3AHTH eoor.ixr. nvv i.v KUAXCH.

Sept. 19. The events of the latter part of the week have demonstrated beyond any possibility of doubt that unlets Grrat llrllnln Is prepared to face a general nur " " 1 ! war nothing Is left for her to do but , A3 stated In the teml-oindnl communication from the foreign office on Thursday evening , to stand aside and to hope for n more sat isfactory state of affairs. This backdown upon the part of Great llrltaln Is due to the fact that the continental powers con cluded that It Is moro prudent to condone the recent mas.tntrcs at Corsttintlnopte than to raise the caatcrn question In the most forcible manner , and , as the marquis of Sal isbury recognize ! ! , It Is strength and not sentiment which rules the world. llrltaln cannot face the combined fleets of Russia , France , Germany and Austria , even with the assistance of Italy. There fore , Great llrltnln must stand aside , and , unless Hussla prevents It , the Turk will have a free hand In the settlement of the Armenian dlfllculty by the sword or torch , or by nny other means which the 1'orte may think fit to adopt. In view of the condition of affairs , the marquis of Salisbury and his collcaguea have now changed front , and are now busily engaged In subduing thu public crusade , which they themselves started , In the vain hope of evoking similar agitation on the continent. Consequently , all attention Is now centered on the visit of the czar to the queen at Dalmoral , nnd the newspapers arc full of | suggestions as to how to Influence him. In- | cldentally , It Is suggested in several Inllu- cntlal quarters that the shortest way to Bottle the whole matter would be to offer Constantinople to the czar. It Is pcilntei out that If the Russian people are once con vinced that Great Drltaln Is ready to al low them to take Constantinople , rather than permit the Ottoman rule to continue they will put a pressure upon the czar which will be Irresistible , for the possession of Constantinople will realize the dream of ages In bringing Russia direct to the water's edge of the Mediterranean. To all Intents and purposes this change of front upon the part of Great Hrltaln Is a confession of her weakness In Europe as compared with about twenty years ago when the British fleet forced the Darda nelles and halted the triumphant Russian army of about 100,000 men , then In sight of Constantinople. The treaty of San Stefano then followed the Russian war , after having cost about 100,000 men and $6,000.000 or more. Such an arrangement , It Is believed , Is not likely with the opposition of the powers , as Finnco Is Russia's ally , German } has no Interest In the matter , and Austria can be quieted by giving her another prov ince or two. On the other hand , there Is a belief in Hrltish commercial circles that before com < plcte accord with Russia Is possible the marquis of Salisbury will have to sacrifice the AngloTurkish'convention of 1S7S , which he himself concluded with the avowed object of protecting Sultan Abdul Hamlil against Russia. In the meanwhile the storm Is gathering and may break at any moment. A special cabinet meeting was held at Rome yesterday and the Italian flying squad ron , under Vice Admiral Canovaro was Im mediately dispatched to the Levant. The British fleet is anchored off the island of LemnoB , Immediately opposite the passage leading to the Dardanelles. The Russian squadron Is In readiness In the ISIack sea. The French fleet Is approaching the Darda nelles and four German ships , on their way home , with 3,000 sailors and marines , have been ordered to remain In the vicinity of the Dardanelles until further orders. The present tension cannot last. There Is no doubt that many liberals are booming the Armenian agitation for political ends and not a few earnestly desire the return of Mr. Gladstone to public life. Consequently his speech on the Armenian question , to bo delivered before the Reform club of Liver pool soon , Is looked forward to eagerly. If It Justifies the confidence of those desiring to reinstate Mr. Gladstone , strong pressure to accomplish the scheme may be expected. SMAM , GOSSI1 FROM I.OMIO.V TOW.V.

Never before have the German naval maneuvers , cither In the Halite or the German ocean , been conducted with such secrecy as during the autumn of the present year. There has always been j a rule , strictly enforced , to exclude from witnessing these maneuvers the naval at taches ' of the various nations accredited to Ucrlln and to prevent , ns far as possible , ac curate reports of the evolutions reaching the press. The maneuvers , which lasted three weeks , were ended on Tuesday last at Heligoland. The evolutions there commencei : on Sunday and consisted of an attempt upon the part of seven ships. Including three huge ironclads , to effect a landing. tlV one period the Ironclads Sachson and Wurtcmburg , favored by a dense fog , approached preached within two miles of Heligoland , but were driven off , after shelling the Is land for hours , by the effective fire from a battery of Howitzers placed there last summer - mer by command of Emperor William. The long range Krupp fortification guns were nlso satisfactorily tested by Commodore Stubcnrauch , the commander of the Island. It was shown that a single shot from one these big guns at a distance of over a mile can Instantly disable the cmost powerful Ironclad. On Tuesday night the fleet was declared hors du combat. The national meeting of the beet sugar manufacturers was held In this city early In the week , nnd a resolution was adopted asking the Reichstag to amend the existing law so as to eliminate the paragraph re stricting and localizing the amounts mnnu factured by each factory. The directors were also requested to prepare a plan for creating a German sugar syndicate , "In view of the dire needs of the industry , " and the government was also asked to bring about an international agreement with Franco and Austria for the abrogation of direct and indirect export bounties , the uselessness - lessness whereof , it was asserted , was plainly demonstrated. The army maneuvers , Just concluded , were unusually prolific of fatal and serious accidents , owing to the weather and the bad roads. Count von Kaultz of the Fourth dragoons had a fatal fall during a charge and seven other cavalry officers were seri ously Injured. Tlio international congress of woman's rights assembles In a few days In the ses sion hall of the city hall of Berlin. Six hun dred delegates are expected to Lo present , In cluding an American , Miss Frances G. French. The dismissals of employes of the Krupp factories , which have attracted considerable attention , were in the cannon department. It appears some of the employes sold to a representative of the Austrian government the drawings of the new gun which can be moved laterally In every direction without moving the carriage. The return of the grip Is feared In this city. Ten deaths from the disease have oc curred during the week. Captain R. K. Evans , the United States military attache here , was tendered a fnre- well dinner nt the Palace hotel on Thurs day last by the other military attaches , and United States Ambassador Uhl gave a din ner In his honor on Friday.

The family of General Collazo have given out for publica tion a letter recently received from the . general.

"Looking at the revolution from this side , every day our strength Increases. There Is the greatest activity In every direction. The battle of Santu Ana , to which I re ferred In my last , was of vast importance. The enemy's loss was greater than we of thought. Their two columns were not able to unite , one returned to Santiago do Cuba and the other to Gmtntanamo , both carrying large number of wounded. They suffered tremendous disappointment ; they thought find everything upset and disorganized with the death of General Jose Macco. and they found themselves face to face with General Garcia , who -fought them with superior Intelllgcnco and equally as much daring , "Two days ago we heard that there had been an uprising In the It > lo of Pines , and Porto Rico was in an unquiet condition.

The 'n'r.cparnllons for the reception of the czar and ] czarina , who are expected to reach Lclth Harbor nt 2:30 : p. m. Tuesday are almost completed. With the exception of the Arrival and the depar ture of their rtusslniMmaJcstlcs' there will be no state ceremonies. The recently dis covered dynamite conspiracy has undoubt edly Impelled the authorities to take the greatest precautions to Insure the safety of the Imperial travelers , and the greatest anxiety Is expressed lest any accident should occur. The Russian embassy here Is vibrat ing with excitement , several members of the Russian secret police hate been In England for a week past and.Ihey 'will bo rein forced by n squad of the rzar'g famous nihilist detectives. The ( letcc-llvcs will ac company the czar to Ialmbral and later to Paris. The Russian Imperial yacht on entering Lclth harbor will pass through lines of war ships belonging to thu channel squad ron , which will fire Imperial salutes. The czar and czarina will be received at the Jetty by the prlnco of Wales , the duke of Con- naught , a number of field officers and the guard of honor , composed of blue jackets. The czar's escort will consist of a detach ment of the Second dragoons , Royal Scots greys , of which the czar Is coloncl-ln-chlcf , nnd 300 policemen and a regiment of Highlanders will line the street lead' ' Ing from the Jetty to the railroad station which Is only 400 yards ills taut. The czar nnd czarina will ride to the station In a state carriage sent from Ilucklngham palace for their use and the train which will 'convey the Imperial party to Balmoral Is the queen's "special. " It will run from Lclth to Unltater , the rail road station of Dalmoralvlthout any stop. Upon arrival at Uallr.ter the czar and czarina will drive In state carriages through lines of servants In Highland costume , holdIng - Ing flaming torches In their hands. Tbo entire route will be guarded by soldiers and police and will be barricaded throughout. CZAR WILL STAY A FORTNIGHT. The visit of the czar nnd czarina to the queen will last a fortnight , at the expira tion ( of which tlmo the 'Imperial ' travelers will leave via Perth and will go direct to Portsmouth , where they will embark on board the Imperial -yacht Standard for I' rance. , For the entertainment' of the czar , the prince of Wales has projected n number of shooting , fishing nnd driving excursions , In which the duke of Connaught will also take part. part.The The prince nnd princess of Wales will stay with the queen at , Dalmoral castle , but the other members of the royal family will stop at Abergeldle. A private chapel for the use of the czar and czarina has been arranged In one of the rooms of Balmoral castle. The sacred vestments , crucifixes and Ikons for the chapel have been sent from the' ' Greek church in London. , ( / ji _ - . The apartments which will lie occupied by the czar and czarina at pnlmofal'castle ' face the. Htver Dee. They' are Btnvpljr furnished , as for that matter are all the rooms at Hal- moral. The corridors are hung with horri ble Imitation marble wall paper , and arc lighted by oil lamps and trophies of the chase , shot by distinguished visitors. Heads and antlers of deer , etc. , are fixed at every available spot and hunting pictures abound. The general public Is expecting some polit ical work to be accomplished at Balmoral to the advantage of GYeat Drltaln during the visit of the czar to the Highlands , and I from a source which Is entitled to respect. The Associated press is Informed that pour- parlols have already been exchanged be tween the marquis of Salisbury and the czar , by which an agreement will be rati fied nt Balmoral in regard to Armenia. Great Britain is to take a dignified position In the Interest of humanljy and will stand nsldo while the czar polices Turkey. The events of the past few day's and the atti tude of the high conservative press confirm this. At nny rate , the czar Is destined to hear a lot about Armenia whllo In Scotland , and it Is freely slated In London that the queen proposes to do considerable plain speaking on this subject. Petitions to the czar beseeching him to stop the flow of Christian blood are bclpg signed In North Britain , nnd will be presented to his majesty during his stay. Ono of the petitions has been endorsed by Mr.'Gladstone , who ex pressed the hope that the heart and mind of the czar might bo awakened to the "fearful mischiefs" which the policy of the late mln- C ister of foreign affairs , Prince Lobanoff- g Rostovsky , "has done so much to promote.

( CopyrlRlit , 1SOG , by the AmoclatoJ Preps. ) KERMA-ON-T1IE-NILE , Sept. ID. The Anglo-Egyptian c.\pedltlon occupied Kcrmn this morning and Is now only thirty miles from Dongoli. At about 7 o'clock this morning the news reached the expedition that the dervishes , alarmed nt the size of the column , had de serted the position In front of the Anglo- Egyptlan army. A party of seven dcr- vlshcs crossed the river nt 7.10 : a. m. , and the artillery , commanded by Young , opened flre against the west bank , where the der vishes were In force with camel , foot , cav alry , armed sailing boats and one armed steamer. The fire was excellently nlmed nnd compelled them to leave their positions nnd their boats. In the meantime three of the Anglo- Egyptian gunboats hove In sight , moving slowly toward the Dervish camp and firing nine pounders and Maxims. The Dervishes replied with the flre of two seven pounders , one of which was quickly silenced by the Anglo-Egyptian horse batteries. Commander Colvllle of the British navy on the river gunboat , Tammal pressed forward and was suddenly ( subjected ) to a very hot fire from Dervish riflemen hidden In pits. Com mander Colvllle received a slight wound In his wrist and retired slowly out -of the enemy's range in order to use his Maxim guns with more effect , which he subse quently did. OPENED ON THE OTHER SIDE. The Anglo-Egyptian side of the river was then engaged , n few companies opening flre , and as they did so a' field bnttery of Iho British artillery , which had taken up a suitable position further north , followed. Both of the Anglo-Bgyptlan batteries directed their /Ire / on the enemy's fort , whore- necand of ! their seven-pounders had been placed. Three successive shells from Young's balj tory fell right Inside of the fort. The dervish . loss must have been considerable. d.A All the while gunboats kept firing. At one time they advanced replying to the dervish fire with heavy Maxim discharges. The Sirdar and Sir William Kitchener ' . and staff , who were watching ' the proceedings from the east bank , saw , three gunboats force their way past the : Dervish fort. Before finally forcing the passage : the cavalry , Infantry and the Maxim battery took up new positions 100 yards awny from the Dervishes and poured a heavy flrs into the boats of the enemy. These boats the Dervishes attempted to take with them In their retreat. While covered by an attack on the Dervish forti fications , the Anglo-Egyptian gunboats and steamers moved steadily past. These boats are now steaming as fast as possible In the direction of Dongola. hi During the fire upon the dervishes the Anglo-Egyptian field battery succeeded In sinking the dervish steamer. When the of to shot struck the steamboat of the enemy , the boat overturned. The dervishes retreated In a northeast St erly direction. Nothing is known of their or movements. All the future movements of the Anglo-Egyptian forces depend on them. In ItA the dervishes evacuate El Haflr , the , . Anglo-Egyptian forces will probably cross sb the river nnd will doubtless innke n forward sbmi movement. ] The steamers , ns well ns the thmi cavalry , will be sent nfter them. It now mi seems as though the whole force had occupied all cupied 'El Haflr , leaving the women and cicl til children at Dongoln. or The Anglo-Egyptian losses will be trifling , ol only Commander Colvill and three others di being slightly wounded.

III Iron Cliiiiu-ollor Thinks I'1 ! ( \VollIll II 'I | llllllfllllllHIII. DALLAS , Tex. . Sept. 10. In a speech here tonight , Governor Culbcrson read the following significant correspondence between himself ! and Prince Hlsmarck , on the money question : rjuI I'rlnco I IllHinnrck. Sir : The grent question finance Is now of mipromo Importance the United States. It IH presented In various form.s , but In a general way , it maybe beSt Bald to be : First , whether the United States shall adopt the single gold ntnndard , second , whether they Hhall adopt bi metallism , with gold n ml Hllvi-r us the standard or primary money. The iirgiiinent favor oC each la well known to you , but It IH purely Insisted that we should adopt the policy of bi metallism , IICOIIUCP the supply of gold In the world for coinage Is Jimulllclcnt to ini'ft thn demand and because mich a stand ard will still further depress the values of property. Which , In your judgment. Is the best pulley to adopt , the gold Htandard bimetallism , giving your reasons ? What elfect ! , In your Judgment will the Imme diate ! adoption of bimetallism liy the United States have on the eaii.se of bimetallism In Germany and other great commercial na tions ? C. CULHHHSON , Governor of Texas. In reply , I'rlnco Ilismarck said : KHIICIMUCIISHl'II , Aug. 21 , 1SW. ! - Honored ored Sir ; Your esteemed favor has been duly received. I hold that this IH the very hour that would bo advlcablo to bring about between the nations chiefly engaged the world's commerce , a mutual agree ment In favor of the establishment of bl- metallism. The United States nro freer far In their movements than nny nation Europe , and hence , If the people of the United Slates should find It compatible with their Inlori'Hts to take Independent action In the direction of bimetallism , I cannot but believe that mich nctlou would exert a most xuliilnry Influence upon the consummation of an International agree ment.
