NRW YQIIK , Nov. 23. Knrlquo Joii
Varona , editor of I'atrla , the olHclal orgai
of the Cuban Junta In this city , and ex
deputy from Havana to the Madrid Parlla
merit , makes a detailed reply to Captaii
General \Voyler' statement made to a rep
resentatlvo of the Associated press In Ha
vfliia. Slpnor Varona says :
"KegardliiB Oenural Weylor's statemeni
that Maceo Is continually scattering lib
forcra In order to escape the Spanish col
umns , which ho says arc hunting him , tin
conclusion he draws from the scattering
forces Is abnilrd. It docs not follow thai
because the forces are scattered It Is be
cause they seek to avoid capture. The scat
torlng of forces by Maceo Is duo to a pre
concerted plan. The forces are sc.ittorct
nnd concentrated at will by Maceo , and In
thereby makes sure of losing as few men a !
possible and of striking blows when he I :
least expected by General \\Vyler to do so
Maceo cannot afford to lose as many mei
asVeyler can , for Spain sends men Ilki
droves of sheep to the slaughter. The tar
tics of which General Weyler complain !
ore evidences of Maceo's superiority as (
military tactician over Weyler.
"General Weylor's promise of the carlj
pacinratlon of the provinces of Havana , Ma
tanzas and Paula Clara Is shown to be falst
by the fact that the rebels have oustalnc.
themselves In those provinces over slnci
the arrival of General Campos , Weyler's pro
doecssor , notwithstanding that Hie railroar
anil telegraph facilities arc In the hands ol
tliii Spaniards , the ease of approach to thosi
provinces from Havana and the easy trans
portatlun of armies of men and all th <
resources furnished lo the troops by at
established government. In the face of al
this and of the constant depletion of tht
ranks by fevers the Cubans have not beer
mihdtiod and will not be subdued In those
provinces.
GAIICIA A STHONG LI5ADEII.
"His further assurance-s that Holguln.
Puerto Principe and Ilayamo are unneces
sarily protected Is a fallacy on Its face.
He liasi-s his claim that the rebel forces
are weak In that section on the single fact
of the lamentable death of Jose Maceo. Ap
preciating fully the great loss which the
rebels have suffered through his death , I
maintain that as a leader his successor ,
General Calixto Garcia , not only adds prcs-
tlgo to the revolution , but has been Instru
mental In bringing many additional follow
ers to the flag of Free Cuba. Ily their lo
cation these provinces are most favorable
to the cause of the revolution. Wo have
most of our adherents there ; the troops arc
hotter provided for , and are easily accessible
for expeditions. The ten years' war has
amply proven that the wat could be easily
carried on Indefinitely from those provinces ,
nnd by holding only these provinces we
could make perpetual war on Spain. "
Leaving the question of military tactics ,
Slgnor Varona turned hl& attention toward
these portions of General Weyler's state
ment In which the captain general seeks
to show that the Cubans are not such suf
ferers from Spanish tyranny us they claim
to bo. Slgnor Varona said :
"General Woyler told your correspondent
that after 1SOS Spain granted ample and
numerous Cuban representation , and that
the Cubans were permitted to Intervene di
rectly In the establishment of equal rights
with thn European Spaniards In the col
onies. He also told your correspondent that
the provincial and municipal laws are alike
in the provinces as In Spain. Ho assures
your correspondent that the Cubani have
the freedom , of the press , meeting anil as
sociation , and that the laws of Madrid are
Uho laws of Cuba.
"In reply to that permit , mo to state that
the Cuban raprescntatlon of which the gen
eral boasts was , and Is , a sham , for two
reasons :
1. Ilccnuso the number of Cuban elec
tors Is limited in such a manner that they
represent only about 3 per cent of the pop
ulation.
2. The law was framed In such a man
ner that the rcfldent Spaniards would al
ways have the major proportion of the rep
resentation. Up to the present time the
average membership of Cubans In the Par
liament has been three , the highest number
ever reached being seven.
CIM1ANS ALMOST IGNOIIED.
The sjino state of affairs exists In the
municipal and provincial governments , sn
much RO that It Is a fact that In the Havana
city council It has occurred that there was
not ono single Cuban member. This , not
withstanding that throughout the entire Is
land In the city nnd country districts , nn
overwhelming majority of the population Is
native Cuban.
"General Woyler talks of the freedom of
slaves In Cuba as a Spanish achievement.
The abolition of slavery in Cuba Is entirely
due to the Cubans themselves , who. not
withstanding the fact that they were slave
holders , have always been abolitionists. They
compelled the insertion of the clause In the
treaty of San Jonn which provided for ab
solute freedom for those colored troops who
fought under the Cuban flng.
"The Spanish government was compelled
to grant this freedom and Inasmuch as It
was Impossible to grant the privilege of free
dom to the rebel negro and not to the lo > allst
negroes who were but partial slaves. It be
came necessary to grant freedom to all.
"And. finally , the general hastened to as
sure your correspondent that Cuba has not
been asked to contribute toward the expenses
of the government In crushing the rebellion.
That Is absolutely a falsehood. The main
tenance of the Spanish soldiers has been
derived entirely from the placing of hypothe
cated Cuban bonds , guarantee' : by the Cuban
debt and revenues alone. Even now n second
end interior loan which Weyler has effected
has been done only after assuring the Span
ish people that as soon as possible the debt
will be thrown upon Cuba , which will have
to pay all the expenses of the war should
Spanish victory result.
"This state of affairs only serves to In
crease Cuban determination and makes It
Impossible for the war to bo ended by treaty
arrangement. In such an event Cuba would
bo overwhelmed , plunged Into an abyss of
debt from which It could not emerge for a
century to come.
"Nothing short of absolute and complete
Independence will gatNfy the Cuban patriots
Nothing olup will they accept and they wll
KO on lighting to the bitter end. They an
bound to win and they will not lay dowr
their arms until ( hey have secured the prtzi
they cherish so highly. "

In ono of the hardest ( ought and 11103
stubborn contests that lias ever boon wit
nagged on the gridiron In this city the quos
tloti of supremacy between the teams o
the Nebraska and Iowa State unlvorsltlti
was decided In favor of the latter by i
score of 0-0 , this afternoon. Iowa's ad
vantiigo In weight and beef was the Uecld
Ing element , for It excelled Nebraska noltlic
In Imllvldiial iilay or team work.
The game was Intended simply to setili
the question of superiority between the twi
teams , as the championship name on Thanks
giving day resulted In a tie , 0-0. As It
the former Kamc today's contest was wage <
ipoii a sllpptry field , but overhead It wai
an ldo.il fool liall day , with a bright sunn ;
sky and no wind. The Icy condition of tin
Held , however , proven ted the runners fron
obtaining sceuro foothold nnd there won
consequently few IOIIK or brilliant runs. /
considerable amount of punting was In
dulled In by both sidrs. This Invarlabl ;
resulted In Nebraska's favor.
Nebraska had two or three opportitnltlci
to score , but wa unable to tuko nilvnutngi
of them. They occurred In the second half
Twlco by a aeries of maKiilllcent ruMipt
they forced the ball from the center of tin
field to within ten yards of Iowa's Real
Kach time Iowa braced wonderfully and so
mired the ball on downs , and kicked It fron
the dniiKorcns proximity to Its own goa
lino. The only touchdown was. made lij
Iowa about the middle of the first half whei
Holbi-ook , the colored half-back , sklrtei

INDIVIDUAL WORK.
SliPdd and Jones played a magnificent do
fcnslvo and offensive game for the Nebras
kans. They frequently broke through Iowa's
line nnd tackled the runner behind the lines
They made the big majority nf gains for theli
team. Captain Thorpe expelled also In In
terference and blocking , klfklng nuil tack
ling. 1'acknrd was badly missed from fur
back , llolbrook played the star game foi
Iowa. Ills run of thirty-five yards for ti
tonchdowit wan the feature of the game. In
addition ho made several other long runs
Iowa's ends wore al o effective. The tackle *
did good work with plunges through the line
when short gains wore needed.
The game wr s free from Injuries , although
It was somewhat delayed by slight acci
dents. A half a dozen times In the seconil
half Shrdd and Jones wore nearly knocked
out by their own desperate efforts to reach
Iowa's goal line and once Jones was ready tr
retire , but recovered In time. The plucky

From the cattle country In the western par

ferlng of the live stock on the rangon , bu
no definite Information can bo secured , as tin
wires are down. Watson Hall , a cattleman
pays the losses will bo extremely heavy
South Dakota Is mifforlng , too. At Pierre
over eight Inchon of snow fell In the etorn
of Thursday and Friday , nnd the wind main
tallied an average velocity of twonty-elgln
miles an hour. Wires were down meat o ,
the time , and trains and fctrcol cars tied up
The first train to move went out about nooi
today , with a snow plow. Cattle on the
prairie drifted badly , and losses are helni
leportod. It waw the worrt storm for years.
Some of the transcontinental railroads
centering at St. Paul , resumed their througl
service today The wind -having abated
they were able to send out rotarlc-s and enow
plows and expected that within BIX hours
they would bo able to end through trallli
along In good shape , provided no serlou :
damage had been sustained by their tracks
Wires are still In bad shape and It Is Impossible -
possible to get definite reports rasardnif
conditions In certain sections , but the rail
way companies set large bodies of compe

From all rei orts received there seems tc
bo nothing to contend with except Immense

Is safe to predict that by tomorrow every
thing will bo moving pretty well , though
