FIFTEEN DAYS TO GET UNDER COVER Wlio Surrender Tlieninolvc * tvltli ArniH Will Ho tfn-c nnil ThriHU Without Ariiix AVI 11 lie Watched. * ( t'opyrlsht , HOD. by PrtM Publhhtnff Company. ) HAVANA , Cuba , March 8. ( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) The expected proclamation by General Weylcr , denounced In advance In the United States , has been Issued. It waa looked for as soon OK the twfo wcntcrn provlnccn should be com paratively free from rebels. The order la not as severe as was predicted. General Woy- ler annpiinccsi that rebels who "present them selves , " that is to say , who surrender , In the provinces of Matanzas , Santa Clara , I'u- crto Prlnclpo and San Ulcgo will bo given * liberty It they bring their arms. These who como In "without arms" will bo sent to some town , where they will bo under surveillance. Havana and Plnar del Rio provinces are not included In this offer of amnesty , which IB not as sweeping as that proclaimed by General Campoo. A general proelarnatlon issued for Pluar del Rio and Havana provinces announces that all largo bands of rebels have been driven from these provinces toward the eastern part of the Island , leaving only Email scattered groups. The Spanish troops which will oper ate against them will bo divided Into small columns to work In conjunction with de tachments of civil guards. All the civil guards In Puerto Prlnclpo and San Dlcgo will bo brought to Havana province. This sig nifies that the government means to Intrust the maintenance of order In Havana and Plnar del Rio to the civil guards , which cor responds to the French gen d'armes. The regular troops will bo withdrawn from the two western provinces and sent cast. The authorities of any town may arm volunteers for local service by asking per- inlrelon. The mayors of all towns arc directed to report within ten days the names ot all residents ot their Jurisdiction \\ho have joined the rebels. All such who do not present themselves In fifteen days will be considered rebels , and their property will bo confiscated. Any rebel who presents him self In fifteen days will be under surveil lance , but non.o will bo molested except these who held public office prior to "going out , " that is , joining the Insurgents , or had been guilty of crime. This last provision Is to avoid pardoning certain persons who were well known robbers before the rebellion , and are now with the Insurgent forces. All who surrender after the fifteen days will bo kept under guard. All persons who glvo elder or Information to the rebels will bo held tb bo assisting the rebellion. Residents ot localities In which railways or telegraphs have been destroyed are required to help re pair them. PUSHING THE REBELS HARD. The rebels are now belnc pushed harder than ever before. The Spanish troops ore Incessantly In motion with nil the , tireless energy that characterizes the Spanish in fantry. No large rebel band Is within ninety miles of Havana. Gomez Is about thirty miles further away than ho was yesterday. The engagement at Corral Fnlso proves to have been something more than -tho cus tomary skirmish with a rebel rear guard that goes for a real battlci here. Maceo , Lacreto nnd Gomez having Joined forces , thus forming nn aggregate force of nearly 8,000 men , were overtaken by a Spanish column under Colonel Vicuna , on the Diana sugar plantation near Corral False In. the center ot Matanzas province. Gomez did not rnalto a prolonged stand , but broke Ills people up Into bands , aiid , according to re port , moved northeast In tlio direction of San Miguel , whllo Maceo retreated toward Manjuarl. The rebel losses are stated thus : "Soventy-ono killed , 200 horses captured ; many wounded and carried away by un armed camp followers. " The report Is Incorrect as to Gomez. Gen eral Pando , commanding In Santa Clara , re ports that Gomez la at Voladores , in that province , Just cart of the Matanzas line. A small band of rebels fired on a train on the Western railway going to Artemlsa , near the Plnar del Rio border. I witnessed yesterday an Instance of Gen eral Wylor's energy. After visiting the bar racks , ho returned to the palace and ran up a long flight of marble stairs In full uniform , taking two and three Ptcpo at a tlmo , to the third story. His staff , headed by Lieu tenant General Ochando , walked up. The steamship Ohio , with excursionists from Philadelphia , arrived from Jamaica to day , and sails tonight for Fernandlna.

The Spanish prefhlcr In formed the correspondent before the visit that the Infanta was , to quote her own words , "delighted to have an opportunity to show that I cherish pleanant recollections of my visit to the United States. " At the appointed hour the correspondent was re ceived by her royal highness In a beautiful gallery , filled -with rare plants and antique furniture.

" The Infanta's message to the people of the United States Is : "Sweat remembrances of the affectionate reception given to me by the people of the United States when I went to their country representing my own at the festivities In honor of Columbus , live and over will live in my heart. During those festivities strong proofs of mutual esteem were given by both countries. I became convinced , and still be lieve , that never , never should that tradi tional friendship bo broken , much less should peace bo broken.

The United States minister , Mr. Taylor , has refused to ac cept the resignation of Spaniards acting ns United States consuls , when they were writ ten lu Spanish , on the ground that that lan guage Is not the official language of the United States. ' VALENCIA , March 8. This city was again In a turbulent state today over the condition ot the relations between Spain and the United States. A mob gathered nnd was proceeding toward the American con sulate with the Intention of causing a dis turbance there , but a force of police and gen d'armes opposed their passage thro'igh the streets. A desperate struggle ensued and several persons were wounded. Includ ing a ccn d'arme. The mob succeeded In entering the Plaza de Toros by destroying the gates leading from the bull ring. They then held a meeting In the arena. A state of siege was proclaimed. Several foreign military officers. Including some Englishmen , have offered their serv ices to the Spanish minister of war , Scnor Marco de Azcarraga In the event of war be tween Spain and America. The official be lief however , Is expressed that no conflict will occur. Patriotic demonstrations have occurred throughout the country since the action of the United States congress on the Cuban .question and many wealthy Spaniards are offering money to the government. Sev eral towns have also sent messages offerIng - Ing gooda and their lives in defense of the country. The ship owners of Seville have offered to place fifty steamers nt the disposal of the government. In the Basque province , a subscription has been opened to present a warship to the government. The disorders have ceased In this city and the streets of Madrid have been tranquil sluco the unlverplty was closed. The gen d'armes dispersed n crowd which was cheerIng - Ing In front of the French consulate In Bar celona as an expression of a hope for i Franco-Spanish alliance. LONDON , March 8. The Madrid corre spondent of the Standard , noting that the utmost energy of the authorities falls to prevent demonstrations of hostility toward the United States , says the press everywhere deprecates premature ebullitions , but plainly expresses the opinion that these Impulses may soon be needed for energetic action , as Spain will sooner confront any contlgoncy , however dangerous , than stoop to Insult. "Senors Sagasta. Mara , Castellan , Canov.is , and other leading statesmen whom I have consulted , " the correspondent proceeds to say. "all agree that they are entering upon a decisive stage In their relations with America that with relation to the rebels will have most serious consequences. The Infanta 'Eulalle has sent a friendly message to the New York World. "Ten thousand persons engaged at Val encia In a demonstration organUed by well knoun republicans. They made a noisy dis play before the French consulate and public buildings before going to the American con sulate , when 'tho civil guardo opposed It self. Shots were heard and the guards re sponded with their carbines and charged re peatedly before they dispersed the mob. These arrested were found to bo chiefly re publicans. The affair has caused great alarm. "The police dispersed an Imposing gather ing at Saragossa.

The long visits of Emperor William to Canceller von Hohenlohe , Baron von Blebcrsteln , the minister of for eign affairs , and the Austrian ambassador on Saturday have given an Impulse to specula tion in the press and In political circles on the eubjcct of the visit tills week to Berlin of Count Goluchowskl , the Austrian minis ter" for foreign affairs , and the future rela tion of Italy to the Drelbund , which are undoubtedly the subject of Count Goluchow- skl's mission.

The post- office appropriation bill will , It Is thought , bo passed tomorrow. The naval appropriation bill Is the next supply bill In order. During the week the Aldrlch-Robblns case from the Fourth Alabama district , tbo report of which la against the democratic sitting member , will bo called up. and If tlmo Is offered the report of the committee In the Benolt-Boot- ncr case from the Fifth Louisiana , declaring . . the scat occupied by Mr. Boatncr vacant , will also bo acted upon. The Cuban question will bo revived In the senate Monday on tbo proposition to accept Iho report of the conference committee , agree ing to tlin house resolutions. There Is a pos sibility of considerable debate on the sub ject ; but , on the other hand , the report maybe bo accepted after but brief exchanges of views. It Is believed that under no circum stances the question will be prolonged beyond Monday , and there Is little doubt that the house resolutions will be agreed to. The Dupont election case from Delaware will also continue to receive attention during the week. Senator Turplo will speak on1 Mon day In opposition to the seating of Mr. Dupont and will bo followed when opportunity af fords by cither Senator Prltchard or Senator Chandler for Dupont. It Is not believed the debate on this question will bo concluded during the present week. The bill to prevent the extermination of the Alaskan seals has been the special order for Thursday , but whether It will be taken up at that time will probable depend upon whether nn amicable arrangement can bo made concerning the Dupont case. Thcro Is [ no disposition on the part ot the seal bill to revent continued consideration of the Du- ont matter. The seal bill will provoke dis union when reached. It Is understood to be onator Morgan's purpose to discuss It nt cngth. Senator Butler has given notice of a speech n Monday on his bill to prevent the further yue of government bonds. If the committee on public lands gets In Its cport on the Arizona land bill , recommending ts passage over the president's veto It may o takerl up and It will probably arouse con- Idcrablo discussion.

The name ! ) of the fatally Injured arc : J. AJ . Alkcn and Sam Smith , motormen ; J , L. Jones ( , claim agent Missouri , Kansas & Texas railroad , and Richard Lonagan , Insurance agent. The Klrlcwooil Electric railroad has Just been completed and great crowds were taking advantage of Its being Sunday to patronize the lino. Every car wna crowded. The line Is a single track system , with switches at Intervals to bo used for the passage of the cars. It was the disobedience of a rule providing that cars going in a certain direc tion should keep a siding until the next car In the other direction had passed that caused the accident. An castliound car , with J. S. Pcacclcy as conductor and J. A. Alken as inotorman , stopped nt a elding about ono mlle this eldo of Klrkwood. The westbound car not appearing , the carmen decided to try . to make the town In a Hying trip. They had almost reached the end ot their Journey when the other car came around a curve and both craeheil together. The eastbound car was running at the rate ofnt , least thlrty- flvo miles an hour , whllo the other had at tained a speed of fifteen miles an hour. The passengers were thrown In a pile by the Impact , which was terrible. J. A. .Alken , motorman of the castbound car , and Sam Smith , molorman of the westbound car , were token out of the wreck with many bones broken and Injured Internally. It Is thought they will dlo. Among the passengers the most badly injured were : J. L. Jones , claim agent of the Missouri , Kansas & Texas rail road ; iRIchard Lonngan , Insurance agent. Neither can live. It Is thought. They were all residents of St. Louis.

Between twenty and thirty others received less serious Injuries. Help was sent from Klrkwood , Webster Grove anil St. Louis and the Injured were taken to hospitals , or to their homos In this city and surrounding towns. Motorman Smith and J. L.

Senator IlnliiN Confident Hln Pi t MviiNiirvM Wilt Ilecouie I.IUVH. ROCHESTER , N. Y. , March 8. The Hcra'.d will tomorrow publish an Interview with Senator Rains , which Its special correspond ent had whllo cnroute ( from Albany to Rochester , of which the following- a part : "That bill will go through the arasmbly without crossing another T or dotting an other ' ! . ' Not only will It be unchanged In form , but there will ba no delay In sending It to the governor. " The bill referred to was the famous Rains bill. Continuing , the sena tor said : "Tho bill will bp passed In the ssn- ate Tuesday next' . There Is nothing to pre vent It from coming to a vote In the soaate on Friday , although It may goTover toMha following wbck. But. Inside at.ten-days , that bill will be In 'tho governor's hands' and ready for 'his signature. Long before the end of the current month It will be a law. " "The- present bill , " the senator said , "taxes only the seller of Intoxicating liquors. Thlti bill will ralso approximately $5,000,000 In revenue. My Idea Is that next year wo shall make the manufacturers pay their share of the tax. The manufacturer ought to bo made to pay aa much as the seller , and $5,000,000 revenue from the manufacturer will prac tically wipe out'tho state tax. "How will I reach the manufacturer ? In the easiest way Imaginable. Simply putting a tax of GO cents on every barrel of beer made In Now York state. That's the next problem to bo tackled. Before I retire from my term I hope that not one dollar will have to be raised for state purposes. The Inherit ance tax , the excise tax and the manufac turers' tax ought to bring In the $15,000,000 required to run the etato government. Then the people directly would have only to pay for local matters and each community could raise Its local tax In Its own way. " CONVICTS 11011 THIS CONTllACTOH.

The Inaugural step made by Dalllngton llootli , the deposed com mander of the Salvation army In America , In starting a rival organization on lines similar to the ono from whoso command ho has been relieved , met ( success tonight. Cooper Union was the scene where the first gun was fired ) tlio echo ot which thrilled the hearts o C.COO isoUHcrslio , stnco the com mencement of the International strlfo which has sundered Ballington lloolK'n nlloglnnco to his father , General Hooth ot London , Imvo remained loyal to the deposed commander and his wife , Maud Booth. Every seat of the big auditorium was occupied. The nlslea were crowded and tlio streets outside were thronged. The \\omon were the regular Sal vation army emblem , but the poke hat wan absent. The men , too , had their badges , but were no red jackets. Shortly after 7 o'clock and before the vast audlcnco li.xJ tlmo to be seated. Captain Schneider ot the llowery corps sprang on a chair on the platform and -waved an Ameri can flag with a painting of Qcorgo Washing ton. The nudlcnco cheered lustily as they sprang to their feet and tho- utmost enthu siasm prevailed. Order had scarcely been restored when Major Peter Qlen , who wa among the first of the officers to tender his resignation after Eva C. Booth had taken command , appeared on the platform , waving an Ameri can flag , arid placed a life-size crayon painting of George Washington on an easel In front of the speaker's table. This was the signal for renewed outbursts of applause. It was only when Ballington Booth and his wlfo arrived from tholr Mont Clalr homo that the audience lost control ot Itself. Their presence on the platform was the signal for an outburst of enthusiasm such as had never before been witnessed In Cooper Union. MIDDLE CLASS NOT REACHED. Thcro were eomo music and considerable signing and the customary religious Invoca tions , after which Ballington .Booth arose and said : "Mrs. Booth and myself have not come here tonight to alluda to the recent sad trouble. It Is qulto true wo have , after ma ture deliberation , decided to Inaugurate anew now movement. Could wo have avoided it , It would most assuredly have been done on our part , but wo recognize the great American people believed that wo had done a work for nine years , for which they were gratified , and would not listen to the protest that we should retire Into private life. Recognizing , as no did , the largest field In the world , and still further recognizing that tliero was room In America for one , two , yea , 100 Salvation , armies , wo have resolved , to the best of our ability , to win over the middle classoa ot the artisan community of this country , Wo wish no strife with the Salvation army no strife , either literal or vdrbal. "I bellevo that the failure of the so-called religious organizations of the present day Is that they do not come down to the living places where Jeaus Christ wants to bo repre sented. "I want to assure Mrs. Booth and those ofllccrs who have stood by me , that I see In the distance a movement which tonight has received its impetus In this great gather- Ing. I do not want anything that exists in ) the air , but a genuine consecration ot our soldiers to the faith ot Christ. "There Is at leaet 46 per cent of the wage earning populace of the community who are not Identified with any church or place of religious worship. "It Is there \\e want to reach and extend to thorn the love1 that inspired tlio Nozarcno on the streets ot Jerusalem nearly 1,000 years ago. "Oh , how much liateology nnd how little bcartology tliero la today. Mrs. Booth and myself have , within the last few days , been reading the history ot that great American. soldier , Oeorgo Washington , whoso portrait stands on this platform tonight. Wo thought of him and of his goodness of heart and love for Christ , as he turned away for a moment from the frightful scenes ot Valley Forgo and repaired to the woods where ho knelt In prayer to the dod of his coun try. "Whatever be the mission wo undertake , It will bear the right stamp and will bo directed In the right direction. " OMJ aiAiV MUUIJKHED JIY FOOTPADS.
