( Copyright , ISM , by Press Publishing Company. ) HAVANA , Dec. 3. ( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The news of the arrival of General Antonio Maceo at the military line of La Troclm , which I cabled last night , was confirmed and made public today. Macco's advance moved rap idly across the country from the neighbor hood of Catcorro , and reached a point five. inllcR frcm Clego do Avlla on the evening of November 28. The main body was then between Ilorlnleguera and Socorro. On the 29th sound of firing wns early heard at Clcgo do Avlla , In the direction of Fort Ucdonda on the Trocha. At 10 o'clock Maceo's advance guard , 400 strong , attacked Fort Hcdonda and was re-polled. His en tire following then passed to the westward across the Trocha , between Fals Hcdonda and Sanchez , which are on the military line north of Clcgo de Avlla. Four square * Span ish columns are In the vicinity of Maceo's forces , endeavoring to prevent his entrance Into Santa Clara , which la his present ob ject. Suarcz Valdcz , with 4,000 soldiers , and Navarro , with 3,000 , are In his front , and Mcllo nnd Aldavcr are In his rear with 4,600 men. There Is expectation In official circles of an Important engagement , and It Is llke-ly to occur at any moment. News fiom Santa Clara la looked for with intense Interest. A report of President Cleveland's annual message has been awaited with keen anxle-ty In Havana. Well Informed persons had no .expectation that It would suggest recognition of the belllgere-ncy of the insurgents , but the masses anticipated something of that kind. General Mella , commanding at Puerto Principe , has Issued a proclamation de nouncing the destruction of a railway train with dynamite by Insurgents as the act of barbarians who would put savages to the blush. He says that humane sentiment throughout the world Is appalled by this atrocity , nnd that the perpetrators are be yond the pale ot consideration. WILLIAM SHAW DOWEN. GOMK7. OUT OF M.YTAXKAS. If that Cnn lie AccompllHlicil Cniiiio * HopcN to Mini tlie Rebellion. HAVANA , Dec. 3. ( Special Correspondence of the Associated Press. ) The report which was cabled to the United States to the effect that the Insurgent leader , Hego , had sur rendered with 250 followers at Clonfuentes , has been proved false by subsequent events , but the report was received from reliable sources. Since November 8 It has been known to your correspondent that Hego had made a pro posal of surrender which had been submitted to Captain General Campos , through two in termediaries , who had accepted the offer. This Information came from an employe In the foreign office , with permission to wire the Information as being already an accom plished fact. General Martinez Campos , In reply to In quiries telegraphed from Santa Clara , as serts that ho has more confidence than ever that ho will be able to re-establish peace. "The more so , " he continues , "If 1 am able to prevent Maximo Gomez from entering the province of Matanzas. This would be a diffi cult task' for Gomez , nays General Campoy , and not likely to bo accomplished at the pificnt. " General Campos telegraphs : "Gomez is at the shores of the river Jatlbonlco and Is rather dlsappolnte.l no to his chiefs in Santa Clara province , who have not proved equal to his hopes. " General Campos doubts that Gomez will attempt to enter Matanzas , as he haa made no perceptible move from where lieIs and therefore' General Campos feel ; that with the lelnforcements uhlcti he is expecting he la Mire to crush the rebellion In Santa Clara. Peace , he believes , will soon follow , nut General Campos Includes a proviso with this opln'on ' that If against his expectation , Gomez shall penetrate Matanzas province , the condi tion of the revolution would assume very . ' - rloua proportions. The captain general said fuithor tlut he was momentarily expecting the surrender of 2t > 0 Insurgents at Clcnfuen- tes , "which will greatly favor my plans. " With regard to Hego , General Campos' d'jj- pntfh pays that ho has no doubt that Rcgo has permission to surrender. Continuing , the depttcli ! says : "It the- plan miscarried , us I nm Informed by the chief of that zone , It Is duo ( o ( ho fact that It became public , but there still exists nine out of ten chances that It will yet become' ' an accomplished fact. " The burning of the sugar cane on the plan tation of Polrdad In offered an proof of the disorder In tlis Insurgent ranks , as there ex isted n compromise with Hego , that the plan tations should be respected. The captain with Hego , who wan formerly a corporal of the civil guard , has left him an 1 nmnlfrpts n desire to lea\e the Island. Other leaders have also left Hego , and Lieutenant Colonel Gonrales , a negro , had n bitter dispute with him after the engagement at Ilarjngus. Kunr Soldier * Killed hy Aclileiit.

One of the features of the Morgan murder trial Is the calmness and apparent Indiffer ence of the prisoner as the evidence consid ered to be very strong agalnsrt him Is from hour to hour brought out. Yesterday he was twice notably roused , however once when Captain Haze \\a on the stand and described the marks of blood that ap peared on the person and the- clothing of the accused at the time of his arreit. Another time was when the clothing from the body ot the little girl was displayed to th : Jury and the bloody marks were pointed out. The latter Incident was the chief occasion of interest In the morning , and as each gar ment , blood stained and torn , was h Id up for the Inspection of the Jurors , the Impression on them and all In the room was profound , When the cross-examination of Mr. Mc- Oraff , during which nothing new way de- veopd ! , was completed Captain Haze was put on the stand and the story of the finding ol the body and th : arrest of Morgan was agzln told , Hazu said that he asked Morgin how the blood happened fo be on his hands and clothes and he replied simply that he did not know. At the same time Morgan way asked why he was trembling and he replied that that was nothing , for he was constantly so. Haze was questioned very closely by the defense respecting the detention of Martin Hooker and of Kan ford , Morgan's room mate , an effort being made to show that they were nrrei'ted as well as Morgan for the murder , but this Haze denied , saying th.it they were held , cvan In the first place , only ay sus picious characters and that as soon as Mor gan was found the officers ceased to have nny thought that Hooker and Sanford might bo Implicated , and they were * afterward held simply as witnesses. He Mid that after the evidence against Morgan had been discovered no Investigation to determine whether others had a hind In the crime way made. Haze was asked : "Did you not say to Morgan : 'You are the guilty man. You are the murderer , and If It were my child I would shoot you ? ' " "No sir. " "Did Sergeant Ihler say to Moigan , 'A nigger was hung for this same th'ng some tlmo ago In this city , and you ought to bo treated In the rame way ? ' " "No , sir , he did not. " "Was any language to that effect used ? " "No , sir. Not In my presence. " Testimony was given by George W. Clark , with Coroner Maul , who removed the body ol Ida Gaskllt from the closU' and prepared It for burial , by cx-OHlcer King and Night Jailer Kirk. King said that he held a short conversation with Morgan In the city Jail. He asked Mor gan : "Can you give an account of where you were on Sunday night , the night of the mur der ? " "I can , " answered Morgan. The biggest crowd which has yet attended the trial filled the court room when court cot.vened yesterday afternoon. It was as il it had been known that two of the moat Inter esting , and one of the most Important of the state's witnesses , Mrs. Gasklll and Willie Gnfldll. mother and brother of the little girl , \\ero to be called to the stand. Mrs. Gaeklll's testimony developed noth ing of strength against the defendant. She Identified the body of the dead girl as that of her daughter. She then went on to relate the do'ngs ' of the family on the eventful 'Sun day up to the tlmo that Ida was mlsseJ , and she told of the subsequent search for her. her.Willie Willie Gasklll , 0 years of age , bright and sharp , furnished most damaging testimony against the > accused. He said that he met Morgan In the middle of the afternoon that Sin , day at the'old carpenter shop that Morgan told him that he wished to fay something U him and made him promise that he would never tell a living soul of it , that then ho asked him to tell bis sister that he , Morgan , wished to see her later. Willie ran home , gave the sister the message' and she responded that she would see Morgan in ten . minutes. He went on to tell how he returned and found Morgan In the vacant red house where tlu > tragedy occurred. He went up to a side window , looked In and taw Morgan. As soon as Morgan noticed him he Jumpd back into the closet where the girl's body woe foimd.

Naturally the president's message attracted the main at tention of the day , but aside from this there were stirring resolutions on the Mcnros doc trine and the- Cuban rebellion , and after that the usual deluge of bills and resolu tions , running far up into the hundreds. The message was given the closest attention from all quarters of the chamber. At Its conclusion Mr. Lodge of Massa chusetts offered a resolution , vigorous in terms , reaffirming' the principles of the Mon roe doctrine and presenting them in euch form as to permit their enactment as a permanent law rather than an expression ol the policy advocated by President Monroe. In the same line was a resolution by Mr. Cullom of Illinois and another by Mr. Allen of Nebraska. ' The Cuban situation received attention from both the Florida senators. The Call resolution will be called up tomorrow , that Cuba and the Monroe doctrine- will re ceive early attention. At the executive ses sion the nominations of Mr. Olney as sec retary of state and Mr. Harmon as attorney general were confirmed , and that of Hufus W. Pcckham to the supreme bench referred to the Judicial committee.

Mr. Allen wlehecl to make a ton minute speech on the passage of th ? resolution , but it went over with the others without debate. Mr. Squlro of Washington Introduced a silver coinage bill , which , he stated , sought to be n fair solution of the present coinage problem.

" Then Mr. Pniden , the presldrnt's executive clerk , ptcpped forward and made the formal transfer of the expected inesirage to the sen ate. Its r.'adlng was listened to with marked attention. There was noticeable Interest on the repub lican Hldo In the reference to Ihe Waller cas > e.

He wanted this ! government to protect the lives and property - ! erty of Its citizens living In foreign lands | ' quite as strongly as at homo. No other i course should be considered , and lie for one j ' would urge a more rigid construction of the ' Monroe doctrine. "I bsllevo , " said he , "that I i the United Sttaes seeks the establishment of republics on the Islands adjacent to us , I 1 and that the resolution Is sufficiently broad In Its scope to make Itself worthy of serious consideration. " On the president's financial utterances. Senator Allen said : "Tho message sounds like the argument of the attorney for Wall street , and Lombard street In the Interest of his client. " Upon the question of senate reorganization Senator Allen was averse to talking , except to say that populists would continue In the middle of the road , and might seek to organize the senate them selves. "We want to get the democrjts and republicans together on a high hill , and then , In Interest of good politics , we will have them foul.1' COMMENT ON THE MESSAGE. Senator Allison said as to the message : "In the sense of laying down plans for the future It Is very disappointing , us It does not deal comprehensively wl'h ' our currency difficulty. It i ? especially disappointing In not suggst'l- ' Ing measures as to how to raise a revenue for carrying on the government. " Senator Chandler of New Hampshire was emphatic in his condemnation of the financial utterances of the president , but thought that portions of the message relating to foreign affairs exceedingly well written. He says : "Hly remedy fur the distress Into which he and hlo party have brought the country Is the retirement of greenbacks , thereby destroy ing the national banking system , the avoid ance o [ Iho free coinage of silver and th ? adoption of a single gold Htandard. These are Inadmissible and childish proposals , as they do not either t'top Imports or fill the treasury. " Ex-Speaker Crisp was surpilscd at the tons of the message and doubted If relief could be found In the direction Indicated. , _ . Mr. Payne of New York , \ > h 6 will prob ably head the ways and means committee , thought Cleveland had failed In the proper diagnosis of the case In his efforts to justify the policy ' of his party. Sena'tor Warren said he was one of those who bllcved that we would alwayii bo t-hort of gold as long as Imports Increase and ex ports decrease. If we protect our Industries , lather than those of foreign connlrls , the outflow of gold will bo stopped and his end less chain greenback theory exploded. As to his foreign policy. It Is not up to the point required by vigorous American ? . Judge Strode , In speaking of the message , slid : "In the message there are no sug gestions to congress that will be acted upon , In my opinion. His suggestion to retire greenbacks will not be concurred In by con gress" , and there Is no hope for any free silver legislation. In my opinion , which arc th ? principal features of the message. " Mr. Melklejohn says : "The foreign rela tions and finances formed the warp and woof of the president's message. So far as the first was concerned ( little- but promise as to the latter ) the1 at'emrt to explain the treas ury deficiency would net commend itsslf to thinking people who knew the draft on gold was duo lo lack of protection to Ameri can countries. " Mr. Mercer says : "It solves no problem on finances and Is disappointing. " MERCER STARTS HIS MILL.

In ref erence to this subject Judge Drowning said : " 1 am very glad to learn that Mr Melkle- lolm'B measure , which failed of passage at ihe last ecsi'lon of congress , Is again Intro- luced. We thought for awhile that the law now on the statute book was sufficient to prevent the evil which Is now so prevalent throughout the west , but by decisions of several courts we were undeceived , and such & law at * the one proposed has become a necfrslty. The Indians we want especially to protect ore those who have taken allot ments , but who are still under the protec tion of the government by reason of the fact that they have not received patents for their land > i.

MussAtK WAS Senators SuriirlNfilotliItiK WHN Sntil About HnlsliiK : More Iteveiuie. WASHINGTON , Dec. 3. The republicans of the senatedo not approve the president's mes sage , so far as It concerns finances. It mat ters not whether tiny be sliver men or not , they all have something to say against it. Many eanators expressed the opinion that the message was disappointing because It did not provide a method for raUIng revenue. All of th ? republicans who are known at > round money men were especially disappointed on account of this feature of the message. The silver men were , of coursa , very emphatic In their disapproval of th ? president's views on silver. For the m"ost part , however , the republicans spoke In terms of approval of the position of the president regarding foreign affairs , but more especially wltrT'what' wns" raid about Venezuela. The silver democrats had very little to'say regarding the "message , and It was for the most part a disappoint ment for them. There was a general Im pression In the senate that the proposition of the president to retire the greenbacks would not be successful. Doth curiosity and Interest were mani fested by the numbers of the housw in the president's message. Members expressed biir- prlse that no recommendation was made for the supply of the treasury deficit. In th ? discussion of foreign affaire the portion de voted to the enforcement of the Monroe doc trine In connection with the boundary line dispute and the suggestions regarding Cuba attracted special attention , but the main In terest centered In the recommendations for the retirement of the greenbacks and the ex tension of the national bank system. Several of the demociatlc leaders who differ with the president on the financial qnsstlon refused to express their opinions for publication. Iir-I.l'l.Nt ; AVAM.KIl OUT OF 'I'HOIIIII.13.

WASHINGTON , Dec. 3 , The Kancas dele gation In congress IH determined to leave nothing undone to secure the release of cx- Cotnil John L. Waller from his Impiison- ment In France. After the president's IIICH- Dage had been read this afternoon the entire delegation of senators and members , In- chu'lng republicans and populists , held a meeting to decide their course of action. It wan resolved to push a resolution In botli houses calling upon the president for all the papers and correspondence In the case. Several members thought this resolution should be accompanied by one stating It to be the view of congress that the president should take Immediate action , and such a resolution may bo decided upon at a future meeting. From the Information at hand the members took exception to President Cleveland's view tl'Ot the correspondence with France upon the matter Is progressing satlsfjctorlly , The only question raised was whether or not the reply to the resolution calling for papers should be awultoj before more vigorous steps were taken. Representative Miller , from whos-a district Waller was appointed to his conmlate. was empowered to draw the reso lution , and lie had a conference regarding It tonight with Mr. Hltt , the probahlo chair man of the committee on foreign affairs , Representative Curtis of Kansas has received many petitions calling for strong action In the Waller case , which he will present to the house.

President Cleveland's message , printed In full herewith , Is mainly devoted to n consid eration of the money question. Very briefly It reviews the foreign relations of the United. States , touching lightly on the details and making no recommendations beyond a mere suggestion that the people ought not to com plicate the feeling of friendship between the United States and Spain by hasty expression or sympathy with Cuba amounting to viola tion of the neutrality law , mid to propose that congress take some steps to secure a bettor understanding of the Uerlng sea nnd Cana dian fisheries questions. He says that an ai.swer . to the note of last July concerning1 Venezuela Is expected soon from Great Drltain. On the money qucst'on he goss at great length Into details of the treasury situation , pointing out the difficulties that have arisen during his term , the constant drain on the gold reserve and the efforts made to maintain it. PIe defends the sale of bonds , and par- tlcularlv tlm ODeratioiiR of the bond syndi cate , saying he Is willing to accept his full share of responsibility for the plan. For a remedy he proposes that the law requiring the United States treasury notes to bo kept In circulation be'so modified as to allow the retirement of the notes when redeemed at-tho treasury , and the retirement also of the silver notes , so as to prevent a con stant menace to the gold r scrve < To rt- plcnlsh the currency for circulation , he sug gests that the banks be given greater [ tower by the removal of restrictions now placed upon them , and that they be allowed to Irene their notes to be used In business under such safeguards of legislation as shall bo necessary to protect the people. The stock of silver how In the possession of the government would be worked up Into dollars lars and fractional currency and slowly put into circulation. To the Congress of the United States : The present assemblage of the legislative branch of our government occurs at a time when the Interests of our people and the ne-ds of the country give especial prominence to the con dition of our foreign relations and the exi gencies of our national finances. The reports of the government department officers fully and plainly exhibit what has been accom plished within the scopeof their respective duties and present such recommendations for the betterment of our country's ' condition as patriotic and Intelligent labor and observa tion suggest. 1 therefore deem my executive duty adequately performed at this time by presenting to congress the Important phases of our situation as related to our Intcrcource with foreign natlonc , and a statement of the financial problems which confront us , omit ting , except a ? they are related to these topics , any reference to departmental opera * tiontt. I earnestly Invite , however , not only the careful conniderntlon , but the severely crit ical scrutiny of the congress and my follow countrymen to the reports concerning these departmental operations. If justly and fairly examined they will furnish proof of assiduous and painstaking car ? for the public welfare. I press the recommendations they contain upon the respectful attention of tliosa charged with the duty of legislation , bccausa I bjllcvi * their adoption would promote the people' ! ) good.
