A BIGFIGHT .
Is Said to Have Taken Place in
Pinar Del Rio. .
It is Believed That Gens. Weyler and
Maceo's Forces Have Mot.
The Insurgent Army li Well Located Id
the Hills nn! Four n Unt Flro Into the
Spanish Trooin The Spaniard, Moko
n Moat Desperate Attack.
New Yonit, Nov. 14. A Jackson
vlllo, Flo., special says:
Cipher dispatches just received re
port a llerco battle in progress in Pinar
Del Rio. It is bollovcd thai Maceo
and Wcylor have met.
The reports of flro arms havo been
almost incessantly heard for several
hours. No details of tho engagement
nro given other than tho statement
that one of the most dcclslvo ongagc
monts fought since Cnba struck her
first blow for freedom is being waged.
Tho dispatch adds: "Insurgent
forces aro well located in tho hills and
arc pouring a hot flro into tho Spanish
troops, which havo repeatedly been
driven back in attompts to capturo tho
Cuban stronghold. Tho insurgents
havo tho ndvantago of position, being
at a great elevation, but tho Spaniards
aro malting a most desporate attack.
"From a distance it looks as if sev
eral towns aro in flames. Tho sky is
lighted up by the constant flro of artil
lery. "Whother or not Maccp himself is
directing tho insurgents' tactics, can
not at this time bo learned. An out
'como of tho engagement would bo im
possible to predict, for, although both
sides aro fighting as if they intended
to stick to it until tho last man falls,
there is no doubt that the hills of Pinar
Del Rio will bodyed with blood before
cither sldo claims a victory."
The dispatch then describes tho tac
tics of the Spanish forces as endeavor
ing to surround each elevation sep
arately m order to gain ground of van
tage, but adds that tho insurgent ma
neuvers in each caso aro believed to
havo prevented huch results.

Washington, Now 10. Many state
ments respectlug the attitudo of tho
administration on tho Cuban question
havo been circulated during tho past
week and various articles of a conflict
ing character have been distributed
throughout the country. Tho presi
dent has said that ho docs not antici
pate any trouble with Spain over tho
Cuban situation and that there is no
intention to chango tho policy respect
ing tho matter which was laid down by
the administration a year ago.
In addition to this members of tho
cabinet havo stated that tho Cuban
matter would bo left for thoi now ad
ministration to settle. Whllo follow

tho statement that should an emer

allvo to the requirements of tho occa

gency which may bo oncountcrod.
Measures of a precautionary character
havo been taken to meet any critical
condition which may arise, In other
words, tho United States is judiciously

its' fortifications and works of defenso,

THE PASSAGE
Of tho Free Ship Bill Urged by;
the Commissioner.
Our Maritime Ranks on the Pacific
Coast Threatened With a Rival.
Tho Larco anil Profitable Carrying Trade
Unco Conducted Ilctweea Asiatic and
Kuropean Porta by American Vessel
lias Atmoit Passed Away.
Washington, Nov. 10. Dcsplto tho
fact that there Is no probability of
cither tills congress or tho next passing
a free ship bill, tho commissioner of
navigation, in his annual report given''
to tho press Sunday night, refers prom
inently to tho subjoct, and urges tho
necessity for tho passage of such a
measure, llo invites attention to
tho fact that our maritlmo
rank on tho Pacific is now
threatened by a now rival, Japan,
which has Just established a trans-Pacific
line to tho Unitod States, with tho
co-opcratlon of American capital, is
proparing to extend rapidly the ser
vice. In 18S0 the tonnago of American
vessels, entering tho United States,
from tho ports of Asia and Occanlca
was 283,805 tons, and of foreign vessels
442,251 tons. Fifteen years later in
1805, American tonnago had increased
but a trifle, to 303,181 tons, whllo
tho foreign tonnago ha3 leaped to
057,200 tons. In his argu
ment tho commissioner says: "The
largo and profitable carrying trade,
once conducted between Asiatic and
Eu&opcnn ports by American vessels,
which seldom entered American ports,
has almost entirely passed away. Wo
have already seen tho American flag
almost wljolly disappear from tho mid
Atlantic, savo as borno by the mail
steamers of tho American lino and
tho figures show that tho carrying
trade of tho Pacific is slipping from
us."
Bcforo it is altogether lost, Commis
sioner Chamberlain suggests that con
gress inquire into the condition of
trans-Pacific transportation. 'Within
the last five years Japan's sea going
steel steamers havo increased from 13
of 27,710 tons to 23 of 100,383 tons. The
number of American steel and iron
steamers on the Pacific coast is 08,225
tons.
AFTER WEYLER.
Tho Captain General Jssuos an Order That
May Ctiuso Serious Complication,
Tampa, Fla,, Nov. 10. Ono of tho
most important items that has escaped
the Spanish press censor has just cOmo
to light here. When Weyler ordered
a number of public buildings to be
used for public hospitals, tho convent
of tho Usurllnes was included. When
tho mother superior heard this she
went to Uishop Santander Y. Frutos,
of tho Havana diocese.
He called on Wcylor and asked him
to rescind tho order as to this building.
This Weylor declined to do. Tho bishop
declared that tho nuns would only va
cato at tho point of the bayonet, warn
ing Wcylor that he contemplated n
sacrillgious act that would mean ex
communication. Weyler uaid his or
ders must be obeyed, and that If tho
nuns did not movo quickly ho would
eject them. The bishop dared him to
touch them.
This enraged Weyler and ho ordered
his sccrotary to issue orders to have
tho bishop thrown in the fortress of
Cabanas, but his secretary called his
attention to tho complications that
would bo likely to arise.
Weyler let it drop, but the bishop
loft immediately for Homo to lay the
matter before tho pope and great
anxiety is manifested as to tho result,
for It is felt that if the church takes
offense, its infiuenco would bo thrown
with tho Carlist party and tho two.will
combine to overthrow tho present gov
ernment. NEGRO LYNCHED.

MajJ MeKinley has a very kindly feel

"thought to desire this appointment and
tho belief hero is that tho president

The Portuguese say that no man can
be a good husband who does not eat a
good breakfast, which leads the Water
liury American to say that this is a.
mean way of throwing upon the wife all
the (responsibility for the husband's
goodness, for without a good wife there
can bo no good breakfast for him to
eat. That maj' be vight in theory, but
it is wrong in practice. We know a man
who has cooked breakfast the greater
part of the time for tho past 15 years
for his family. And wo violate no con
fidence when we say it is a good break
fast, too. He is a man who loves good
