Washington, Nov. 28.—President
Cleveland has been devoting a great
deal of time to his annual message
during the past week, and now has it
well in hand, so that it can be finished
In u couple of days. It is expected to
be one of the ablest public documents
Mr. Cleveland has written during his
two terms It will be in u sense his
farewell to the American people as
their chief executive and there is little
doubt that he will embrace the oppor
tunity to mark out the course he be
lieves ought to be followed by tho
national government for the mainten
ance and development of the honor and
prosperity of the country.
Foreign affairs will naturally claim
considerable attention and the Presi
dent will have an opportunity to con
gratulate congress and the country
upon the solution of the Venezuelan
boundary controversy in a manner
honorable and satisfactory alike to the
United States and to Great liritain
and Venezuela. 'J'he condition of af
fairs in Turkey will be discussed In de
tail, and the President will show that
tj»e ordinary diplomatic agencies have
sufficed for the protection of American
life and oronertv in the Turkish era.
I The last paragraphs of the message
to b<* written will is* those dealing with
;? 4lie situation in Cuba. He will avail
i hi insclf of tlie latest po ifile informa
i tion as to the military situation in the
r island and the prospects for the early
li 1^4'’ess or failure of the insurgents
Km / have much to do with shaping his
He,, policy. Present indications are that
lie will make no radical rceomiiienda
japijkh tions on this subject. Other foreign
■ p quest ion.-, in which the I 'nited States
vr Pi are interested will be touched upon
briefly.
pik Secretary Carlisle is preparing data
KaH^ooking to a recommendation for in
s' creasing the revenue of the govern
iijH meiit by imposing revenue duties on
K tea and coffee and by increasing the
“ internal revenue tax on beer. The
President will doubtless express his
approval of these recommendations.
Trie financial reform recommendations
qf ihc message will lie along the line
% of Mr, Cleveland's former recommend
ationx, and will iiave as tlieir basis the
ft jdeoeacy of the single gold standard
as the foundation of the monetary sys
tem of the country. The retirement
of tiie greenbacks and the Sherman
K, notes will be recommended, so as to
t4ke the government entirely out of
^ the business of issuing promissory
Dotes. Hanking reform will be rec
ommended at the same time, to enable
the banks of the country to issue cir
culating notes which will he safe und
Which can be expanded or contracted
In volume to meet the needs of the
business of the country.
Mr. Cleveland is alive to the neces
sity of continuing the expansion of the
navy and of constructing coast de
ni femes to put the country in a condi
tion to resist foreign aggression, and
ttlie recommendations on these lines
made by Secretaries Lament and Her
bert in their annual reports will be
E, seconded in the message.

Sj„ Washington, Nov. 38.—In his an
Jfe Dual report. Secretary I.amont renews

tt', infantry be reorganized on the general
C. idea of three light nnd mobile bat
> Hr talions of four companies each to the
regiment instead of the cumbersome
Hg tan company formation adopted a cen
tury ago and abandoned by other uu
Kt tions since the development of modern
magazine rifles, and he quoted Uen
erals Sberman and Sheridan and Lieu*
(|B|, tenant General Schofield in support of
{lie necessity of this reorganization of
the infantry.
The completion already of some
coast defenses and the approaching
completion of other modern butteries
render necessary a larger force of ar
tillerists, but no other increase of the
army is asked for. The plan of sea
Coast defense involves u hundred dis
tinct batteries in over twenty harbors.

GEN. WEYLER TALKS.
Occupies the Insurgents’ I’osltlons With*
out A ny Serious Resist mice.
Havana, Xov. 28.—General Weyler
said to-day of his I’inur del Rio experi
ences: ’’I went over ail the northern
hills and occupied the insurgents' po
sitions without any serious resistance
upon the part of the enemy. Cacaera
jaeara and Rubi, which the insurgents
claimed were impregnable, were occu
pied by our troops after dislodging the
enemy. At Rubi he offered the great
est resistance, but yielded nfter a few
hours' fighting. We found no trace of
Macro's people after that, although all
the other points were rcconnoitered
by small detachments from our col
umns. The southerly points were also
rcconnoitered and the positions where
the rebels had encamped are
now in possession of our troops. There
remains still to be rcconnoitered the
range of hills in the eastern purt of
the province. Maeeo has nothing left
for him to do but to scatter bis follow
ers into small parties in order to en
able them to escape our columns which
arc now hunting for them, since they
offer no rcsisteuce und refuse to ac
cept a meeting with our troops, who
are chasing them in all directions. I
am confident of shortly pacifying i’inar
del Rio, since all the strategic points
are in my hands and because of the
constant activity of our troops in all
directions, which completely hinders
the escape of the small groups of in
surgents. who are now fleeing before
them in disorder.”
CUBANS CLAIM VICTORY.
Declare That Weyler buffered Defeat In
a rimer I>ol Rio Fight.
New Yoke, Xov. 28.—The Cuban
junta in this city claims to have re
ceived full confirmation of the report
that Antonio Maeeo defeated Captain
(ieneral Weyler in the Rubi mountains
of I’inur del Rio and the following ac
count of the battle is furnished by the
secretary of the junta: “General Woy
ler's forces, while marching through
I !><• llitlil riwdint'iinu uKmil f liirt if
miles from Havana, were attacked by
Maceo’s army. The charge was so
sudden and played such havoc with
the troops that the insurgents were
able to pour several volleys into the
Spanish ranks before the latter could
rally and return the fire. The battle
was short, sharp and desperate and
General Weyler, seeing his men were
fighting at a disadvantage, and were
being slaughtered, ordered a retreat,
leaving over 1,000 dead and taking his
wounded with him. After leaving the
mountains Weyler went to Artemisa,
where he stopped to allow his army to
rest.” _

Aclvlee to New Kn*land.
Boston, Nov. j.’0. Tho hutiquct of
the Home Market club at Mechanics’
hall was one of the largest in its his
tory, nearly a thousand men, repre
senting the industries of nearly every
city and tow n in the state, living pres
ent. The feature of the evening was
speeches by some of the generals who
toured the country in the Interest of
the gold standard and hy Senator
Hoar.
Senator Hoar said that the Demo
cratic party had been saved from itself
hy Republican efforts. "The business
men of New Kngland,’' lie went on,
"must study the cause of what has
been going on and do something that
will euro the disease, which lias spread
It is said tliat. while McKinley has
1.000,000 majority, a change of 25,000
votes would have given the election
to his opponent. It is sad to
contemplate this, and cannot tho
business men of New Kngland
aid tho cause of good government?
Cannot they, by the weight of their
integrity, regain the confidence of the
West? it is not strange that when the
people of the West see the accumula
tion of wealth by gambling in the
stock market that they should try to
imitate it in a smaller manner. It is
not strange, when they read the his
| "'ij «'j iumiuuu i wii^u in tivn ill Mitj
| West, that they should endeavor to re
pudiate their debts. J call upon the
business inen of New Kngland to hold
i strictly to honest, business principles
and regain the confidence of the peo
ple of the South and West.”
In the absence of General Daniel K.
Sickles, three cheers were given for
the old soldier, after which Ueneral
liussell A. Alger of Michigan was in
troduced. He closed by paying an
eloquent tribute t o President Cleve
land, and for the first, time in lioston,
by a Republican body, three cheers
were given for that official.
General O. O. Howard said: “fly the
election of Major McKinley you have
gained an executive to your satisfac
tion and will have an administration
to your liking. It was a victory for
sound money aguinst the forces of un
rivaled state sovereignty and u victory
for the executive authority of our
ever reliable, ever glorious Supreme
court The grand result of the cam
paign has set in motion business con
fidence, public and private enterprises,
besides all the seeming good fellow
ship and loving kindness among the
whole people.”
General Stewart of Pennsylvania re
lated many amusing incidents of the
tour of tin* generals throughout the
South and West. “We corrected the
mistakes of some of the men of the na
tion at Appomattox, and tills year the
people have corrected the mistakes by
another Appomattox.”
