It is learned . iere on authority tha the Sjvanish gov ' rnnient has given General Weyler to un lerstand that he must push his oper ations against the insurgents aggress ively sol vigorously. Unless he aoon chievis a decisive victoiy over .he Cubans it is Urlieved be will be rt called, tieneral Weyler, it is understood, is 1 ware of the alternative and his present campaign in Piuar del Rio Is expected to result in an engagement that will put a new aspect on the Cuban situation one way or the other The mpaign therefore has liecome to him a personal matter and with , the knowVlge that his prestige and rank are at stake, the Havana cahles are being watched with interest for news of more import int battles than the ski'mlth and guerilla fights thai thus far have come by way of them. deneral Weyler has all ihe troops that lie can use. There are o'er 200,1)00 Spanish soldiers in Cuba, and the furoe under the captain general iri his pres ent ojierations in the field in f erHon is over 00,000, Mace.), against whom he now operating has under him, it is esti mated, about 7,000 men. Spain, having fulfilled all of General Weyler's wishes as to troops, now expects results from him. Consul General Lee has ac quainted the administration with the-e, facts, and the president is at present imply awaiting events and will shape his course by the developments. I' it thought by General Weyler that he will be able to score a decided vic tory liefore the assembling of congress 1 ecemlier 7. Spain fears adverse action by that ' body soon after it meet, and has urged General Weyler to deirion itrale bis ability to crush the rebellion within the next two weeks if possible. In view of the fact that Spain is now making a strong and almost supreme ef fort to subdue her insurgent colony and that a crisis aDpareitly is at band the president will delay writing that pat t of his f irthcoming message on the Cuban situation until the last moment before ttie meeting of congress. The position ol the chief magistrate will 1) largely d tterniined by the news received before iJecember 7. Should the news be fa vorable to the success of the Spanish arms, it is probable that the president will continue to pursue hia policy ol non-inteiference; should it, on the other hand, be distinct. y favorable to the insurgent cause, and especially if it should happen that Weyler was defeated Mr. Cleveland, it is believed, would no longer hesitate to recommend the recog nition ol their rights s belligerents ol some other action equally undesirable to Spain. Kky WeT, Fla., Nov. 17. Prominent Cubans in this city state that no news has been received of the alleged battle between Weyler and Maceo.

The cool ness of Tom Sykee, a white man who has been working for the Southern rail way, saved him from being lynched. Sykes was arrested, charged with mak ing an assault upon Louise Crouch, the daughter of a farmer. His description tallied with that of a tramp who visited the city. He was identified by the child and her mother. A crowd of angry countrymen sur rounded the man. A rope was placed around bis neck, but standing there an I looking them in the eyes he declared his innocence, daring the mn to put upon themselves and their children the curse of having taken the life of an in nocent man. His coolness resulted io his being turned over to the proper au thorities and being acquitted by tht courts. tlolcl Keserve. Washington, Nov. 17.

A dispatch to tin Imparcial from Hong-Konrf state that the report from Manila that the Span iards had won a victory over the insur gent at Novaleta, the latter losing four hundred killed, waa incorrect Tho truth is that the Spaniard! attacked the rebel position at NovalsU on November 10, but could not carry the rebels being strongly fortified, Another attack was made on on November 11, when the Spaniardi were repulsed with lots of 300 men. ar- It Waa d be a Terrible Thing, but It Ma,f Cenie. Wabiiikmton, D. C, Nov. 18. Senor Dupuy da Ixmie, the Spanish minister, was asked Monday the ui-ect question: "Do you believe there is any danger of a war between the United States and Spain?" "It is podfitle," the minister an swered. "It would be terrible. One em foresee its beginning but not its end." This remark of the Spanish miniftea, made in all seriousness by a diploma' "f bis standing, is remarkable. It ad mits the tension in the relations of the two countries, and shows that the spirit of desperate bravado that would push Spain to war with the United States is not confined to the '-panish common people, but even effects thce in high authority, who are better ac quainted with this country's resources and power. Senor de Lome is far more inclined to talieve war poseiMe than is generally supposed in diplomatic circles. Spain's minister has not so much confidence in the next president nor the next secre tary of state. It is feared at the Span ish legation that a desire for popularity may move the new administration to actively a:d he inaurgents and in that aso Spanish pride will rebel and trou ble may result. An official communication from Spain's political agent at St. Petersburg informs the Spanish minister that the recently published report that in a war between the United States and Spain, Russia would be favorable to the United States, Ib rot true. The communication alleges that 'he Russian government has assured Hpain that it w ill preserve an absolute neutrality to a certain point. From this it is argued at the legation here that, as a war with Sp un would be tiased on Interference of a foreiirn power in her inalienable right to hold her territorial possessions, the United States need not expect sympathy from Russia or any other fiuropean nation. France having recently acquired colo nies would bitterly lesent, it is thought at the legation, any country's efforts to aid Cuban independence. Russia like wise has immense interests at stake, besides having a treaty of alliance with France. The Spanish minister believes the re volt of Cuba is the beginning of trouble with all the West India islands, and that England and Holland are watching their colonies with ill-concealed uneasi ness. Jamaioa has of late manifested marked restlessness, and reports re ceived at the legation say that Great Britlan has been on the alert for six months to suppress incipient rebellion. Tukr I'lr.luns at Night. Bayonnk, X J , Nov. 18. William A. Eddy has discovered that photogiaphs of houses an 1 streets can be taken at nih, owing to the present wide preva lence of electric light. The first out door electric light photograph on record was taken by him at 9:45 p. m. Novem ber 3, 180fi, and includes a fair view of th" corner avenue D and Fourth street, rtayonne, followed by a clear view at 9:50 p. m. November 13, 18, twelve expi eures were made at Bayonne be tween 11 p in. and midnight, and on November 15, between 8 p. m. and 1 a. m., twelve exposures were taken in New York, including Madison square, the New York postothce, Herald square. Twenty-third street, Broadway" and others. The photograhs in New York reveal whole blocks and streets. Mr. Eddy says the discovery will be valuable to the press by making It possible to take important photographs in time for the morning editions. To DIscum Montr tlie IMght War. Imdiamapoms, Ind., Nov, 18.-f Presi Jent J. C. Adams of the board of trade has called a special meeting of the gov erning committee of that body for thi-i evening to consider the question of call ing a general conference of boards of trade In the states of the central west for the purpose of discussing the ques tion of monetary reform. This con ference will probably be called with a view to holding a national convention of boards of trade for the purpose o! dis cussing the question and makintr such recommendations to congress a may seem all right. Along this line a general meeting of business men has been called for this evening by the officers of the Commercial for the purpose of discuss ing with Gen. Roy Stone the sugges tions for monetary reform, which he made in a paper read before the na tional farmers' congress here last week, Want lha KvwarcJ. Ciiicaoo, Nov. 18.-The suit of W. R.

New Oklkakh, Nov. 19 Captain Ar mando Am e, cne of the youngest and bravest of eneral Maceo's staff, 1 as arrived here from Cuba. In an inter vi w in answer to questions, Captain A;. dre said ; "General Maceo counts in the prov ince of Pinar del Rio some 20,000 men of all arms, which are divided in groups of fyK) and over, or lesa, as the case may lie, and which operat , each in one district, but in constant communication with the general headquarters of the main army. Maceo, with his staff and and jierhaps 4,000 men, has his bead quarters between San Cristobal and C.iyabo8. Tl e me n are all well clothed and fed, having plenty of ammunition and will give an account of themselves. "The Cordillera of hills it- hich Gen eral Maceo is established is ZuO miles in length by sixty to forty in width, and every bill is a stronghold. The sides of these hilis which often tower 10,000 feet above the sea level, are covered with a very u iclc underbrush of mani gua, often in stretches by thick forest, and here and there are pieces of open land. Ttie only way to get to the top of the mountains is by mule paths, and on these no more than t wo to four men can go. These places at all held by the Cubans and are also protected by mines and traps, which are unknown to any but the guides of the Cuban army. Should the Spaniards succeed in getting to the top of any hills, they would have to pass oer countless dynamite mines, which are ready to be set off by the pressing of a button. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 19. Senor Co.o nado, formerly editor of the La Discus sion, passed through he on his way to New York, bearing important messages to the Cubans, there.

Colonel Moncado has had an engagment with combine 1 parties of rebels who weie found strong ly entrenched in the Crillo hills, in the province of Havana. The enemy was dislodged and dispersed, the Spanish column advancing and capturing the po sition of the rebels under a heavy Are. The Spanish troops bad Bix privates killed, and a enptain, two lieutenants and thirty-eight privates wounded. The rebels left seven dead on the field and carried off many others. Gen. Conzales Munox has had two engagements with rebel parties between Sito Hondo and San Christobal in the Pinar del Rio province. The 8panish had a private and one captain killed and twenty-seven privates wounded. The insurgents had twelve men killed. Washington, Nov. 19. Consul-General Lee called on Secretary Olney yes terday evening and spent five mintues with him before taking the train for Fredericksburg, Va. He told Secretary Olney he expected to return to this city in a few days and would then be practi cally ready to return to Havana if the deraituient so desired. KevWkbt, Fla., ov. 19. Advice! rec lived in Havana from ArteniiBa said tliat Weyler was expected to arrive at Cajabar or Colomas Rubi soon. A par lor car p ated with iron is waiting for h;m at Artemisa. The insurgents are reported in force near Cienega, the lead inif military authorities being in com mand. General A Tolas believes the time has not yet airived for large operations and that it is necessary to wait for cooler weather o improve the sanitary condi tions. It is believed Weyler has the same opinion and has annonced hii in tention to return to Havana. The in surgent leaders, Perico Diax and Pel ico Itelgado, are reported hard prensed by Spaniards.. They have asked Maceo to assist them with reinforcements, but they were told it was impossible to do anything for them and they must do the best they could. It is thought that Ma ceo will attack the trocha. It is reported that Weyler will return to Havana inside of three or four days. W, C. T, U. Convention Closits. St. Louis, Nov. 19. The last day's session of the Woman's Christian Tem perance union national convention opened with the usual prayer-meeting in Schuyler memorial house. After singing and prayer at Music ball, the minutes of the sessions of Tuesday were read and approved. The report of the executive committee, containing the names of organizers, superintendents ol departments, evangelists, editors, and business managers of the Union Signal, president of the board of trustees of the temperance hospital and members of the standing committees, recommended for appointment, was read.

An even ing paper says that the massive timbers forming the steps of the new timber dry dock at the navy yard have hulge.u from four to eight inches and the cost of te palring the damage is estimated at 160,000. When discovered the timber! were driven back into place, but bulged out again. Repairs on the dock have been abandoned for the present and Civil Engineer R. E.

The Register yesterday afternoon prints a story that the government, 'bei4c noon today," will place an order with the Winchester Arms company for 100.OJ0 rules of the Lee pattern, the standard small arms of the American navy. This announcement is made on the authority of a statement by a commercial anent who hud it from an official of the Win chester Arms company. As usual the Winchester will not talk. According to this aent the contract is due to the relations between the United Suites and Spain and a desire on the pirt of the American government to be ' prepared for an mer-ency. fT. Loris, Nov. 20 In an interview yesterday imrningin regard to General Weyler's management of the warfare in Cula, Gen. O O. Howard said: ''As I see it General Weyler s a teat en man and it is time for h 111 10 re?ign. His troops were whipped ami hid rtraie irie resources were at an end when he went hack to Havana. The individual rear movement of General Weyler showed the inability of the Spanish army to dislodge the insurgents. If be could have hi ped them he would have stayed a.id done so. His retirement was the Wuinning of the end, so far as Weyler is concerned Mv view of the Cuban war is s 111 ly this: It is a ques tion ol finances, not of fighting. Spain : is hi.' enough to crush out every cane hiiali, as well as every insurgent in ' (!uba, if she can raise the money to pay hii1 provision the troop' required. But I Spain has a mighty bia job on her j hands. It has alre-idy been cleariy j proved that the Cubans are greater fisihtern, greater strategists and a greater I peop'e. When Spin can raise enough 1 louey to pay her men is, something --)ut which the wo Id is nie-Hini." (ieueral Howard thinks that the C'l 'iiu war has developed nothing in mili- ii'y tactics. He declined to express an "oinion as to whether the United Status I should interfere on behalf of Cuba. I WEVI.KH MCKT RKHMN. New Yok, Nov. 21). A special cable dispatch to the Journal from Havana ;eys : j It appears to be a posit ve fact that Genera Weyler has been asked to resign on account of an open rupture with tho home government. General Prando, it is thought, may succeed him. ! It is conceded on all sides that Wey I ler's personal leadership of the forces lagains' Maceo has ended in most signal failure. The atterr pts of the Spanish to make victories out .of the so-called 1 capture of reliel strongholds of Pinai ilel Rio are lauirhed at. i Maceo, with the science of Fabian, al ways retr ated in tim e to defeat Wey ler's tactics. Maceo, it is conceded, it out of ammunition, which is the great sat rason for his not accepting battle Havana. Nov. 20 Major Bazan ol Captain-General Weyler's staff has ar rived here from the front. Ilesiys that the operations are most difficult and Stys. that, the captain-general slept twe rainy nights on the ground and without hla kets, and that he hud been several times without meals The major fur ther says that the captain-general was between Zoroa and Condeleria. In spite of the fact that the wea'her has greatly improved, in Pinar del Rio, and that .the authorities assert that the health of the troops in the field shows improvement, 700 sick men have already arrived here, and 800 more are eyiected to reach this city during the day. Lo cal newspapers are joining in raising a popular subrcription to provide funds with which to make Christmas presents to the troops. General Munoz, who is now suffering from sickness, has had two engagements with the insurgents at Sitio and Hondu. The enemy left eighteen killed on the field and retired without its wounded. The troops had one captain and one sol dier killed and twenty-five men wound ed. Colonel Mondoca, while reconnoit ering on the heights of Grillo, this prov ince, has been engaged with the insur gents under A'rango. The enemy was entrenched but after three hours' fight ing the insurgents were dislodged from their positions and left seventeen be hind them. The Spaniards had six. men killed and three ollieers and thirty-j six privates wounded. 1 The insurgents are said to have four teen factories in operation between i Soros and Cabanas, in Pinar del Rio.' Nevertheless reports are received of scarcity of food and clothing. The con- , stant rifle volleys which have been heard since the invasion of Pinar del j Rio by Weyler have frightened the cattle, and they have hidden in the mountains, where it is difficult to secure them for food. I The police, by forming an ambush, succeeded In surprising a party on the 1 Avenue Infante in the outskirts of the I city, who were preparing to join the In surgents. Two of the party were killed, but two succeeded in escaping. A policeman was wounded in the melee. Captain', Neila of the garrison of Cas corro, wljo was relieved during the siege by the assistance of General Caslellanos, has arrived at Puerto Principe, where he waa tendered a reception character ised by the greatest enthusiasm.

The Chi nese passengers on the Great Northern train, which was tied up between Wel lington and Madison, arrived in Seattle yesterday. ' Through an interpreter they told a rep resentative of the United Assoc' ted presses that while on the tiain they were given two meals a day for four days, at the end of which the food sup plies gave out and they were forced to walk seven miles through snow from five to fifteen feet deep to a railroad section house, where they were supplied with three meals a (lay. The postoffioe authorities announced yesterday after noon that but one eastern mail had been received in Seattle since last Sun day. This got in Tuesday morning. Owing to the crippled condition of the Great Northerr, Everett & Monte Cristo railroads, there is liable to be a serious food famine in towns in the Cascades flooded diBtrict. In fact Mr. McCarthy, a merchant of Sultan City, who is now here foi the purpose of purchasing sup plies, said that it has already begun. A special dispatch from Snohomish, says : The first party of 200 miners, who left Monte Cristo early this week to walk out to the lower town, reached here yesterday.. The reason for this wholesale exodus of miners is a lack of provisions in the mountain stores. From the reports of the condition of the Everett & Monte Cristo railroad, it is evident that it will be three weeks at least before a train can reach Monte Cristo. All the big aiines at Silverton, Goat Lake and Montb Cristo have fol lowed the example of the Monte Cristo Mining company and sent out their men until the railroad could bring in more more provisions. There are from three to four hundred farmers in the Snoho mish valley who are losers from the floods. Their losses range from a few head of stock to the loss of their eutire personal property. Spokanoc, Wash , Nov. 21. The con dition of the submerged Coeur d'Alene ;ountry grows more serious each day. All the wagon bridges between Wallace and Wardner are out and several rail road bridges are entirely gone. At Kingston, the people are huddled to gether in a school house, the houses all being afloat. The situation atCataldo is even worse. The town is completely submerged and in the second story of one house eigh teen people are huddled together. The food supply in Coeur d'Alene is short, but so far there has been nu actu al suffering. Over the Toll. Frankfoht, Ky., Nov. 21. The toll ?ate war in Franklin county is serious. Having torn away the toll gates of the sounty the raiders have turned their at tention to punishing owners of turnpike Itock by destroying private property. Three t'mes in the past two days has telephone connection between this city and Farmdale been cut off. At first the wires were only cut, but now a mile and a half of the wire has been cut down and carried away. Mr. Farmer, the telephone manager at Farmdale, is a big owner of telephone stock and the raiders evidently believe he is inter ested in the telephone company. Trouble In the Fhoi. Nkw Smyrna, Fla., Nov. 21. T. H. Roberts shot and killed Charles Bowne Wednesday night because of the latter's intimacy with Mrs. Roberts. Bowne returned the fire and dangerously wounded Roberts in the side. The wife and Bowne were entrapped in a compromising position by Roberts, who,' instead of leaving home, laid in am bush near the house. All concerned are well connected. Died In Koh Other's Arms. Valley City, N. D., Nov. 21. A man and woman of middle age, well dressed and of refined bearing, arrived here Thursday night and registered at the hotel as Thomas Owens and wife, New Rockford. They at once went to their room and were not 6een again alive., Friday morning when the couple did not appear the room was forced open' and they were found lying across the bed, both dead, luev were ciaa in weir travelling clothes and clasped in each other's arm. A partly empty bottle of; pruBsic acid on the table pointed to their suicide with that poison. A note was also left by the suicides stating. "Though separated in life we are one in death. Make no inquiries as to ui." Money was inclosed for burial expense!.' The woman was Mrs. A. C. Swain of New Rockford, N. IX, and her compan-' ion in sin and death was Frank Addi son of Baltimore, Md. They eloped Wednesday from New Rockford and the news had been suppressed on account ol the high esteem in which the tamllyj was held, they being wealthy and prom-; inent. Mrs. Swain was forty years old and the mother of four children, one aged eighteen, a daughter. Addison was forty years old. The Swain family sent word here to have the remains of the woman sent to New Rockford for in terment. Nebraska Han Drowns Himself. Clivblano, O., Nov. 21.
