PLOTTING AGAINST WEYLER.
Mariu's Wife and Sinter Would Like
See Iiim iu Charge at Havana.
to
Havana, via Key West. Fla.. Jan. IS.
There is considerable conuiluint here by
newspaper correspondents and others ou
alleged tampering with muil matter upon
the part of the Spanish authorities, and
it is believed that the attention of the
United States authorities will be called
to the matter.
Powerful influence! continue steadily
upon the captain generul. In che first
plucc, it is beyond doubt that the ut
tacks unou him by the Madrid news
papers have placed the generul in an un
enviable position towurds the govern
ment, and almost any other man would
have resigned before this. Then, again,
the sister-in-law of Gen. Marin, the cap
tain general of Porto Rico, who was
acting captain geuerul of Cuba previous
to the arrival of Gen. Weyler, is ac
tively intriguing iu his behalf at Madrid.
She is a lady of great influence in politi
cal circles, is weulthy, of great intelli
gence, and knows how to spend money
in order to sutisfy her ambitions. . She
is reported to have been throwing wood
on the fire, kindled with the intention of
having Gen. Weyler relieved and Gen.
Marin appointed us his successor us cap
tain general of Cuba. In additiou, the
wife of (en. Murin, who is also famous
for her ambition and generosity, is skill
fully working iu her husband's cause in
Mudrid.
It is said that she and her family took
away with them from Cuba nenrly $2,
000,000. But this is one of the reasons
why the name of (Jen. Mariu is not
favorably considered by producers here
as a successor to Weyler. They do not
wish to see him cuptuiu geuerul under
any cii-cumstiincea and this Ih having n
counteracting effect on his wife's ambi
tion. It is not iH'lieved eyler enn last
much longer unless he succeeds in in
flicting u severe defent upon the army of
insurgents under Maximo Gomez, which
is understood to Ih steadily advancing
upon Havana from the east. Therefore,
it is thought probable that Weyler will
gather together ull the forces he can (lis-1
sse of without Weakening to any extent
the garrisons of tlie large towns and will
push forward into the province of Snntu
Clara and occupy positions calculated
to compel Gomez to fight a pitched bnttle.
Iu connection with the reports of the
approaching recall of Gen. Weyler it is
iiiien-Niiug to note i ne manner m which
he received tlie newspaper notices, the
circumstances of which have just leaked
out from the palace. At first Wevler
would not believe the report and paid" no
attention to it until he received olbcial
notification. This was brought to him
while at breakfast with bis wif..
Raising his eyes, he said: "Me hnemi
estrella ami no hn eelipsado." (My good

posed to resign.
Outside assistance is what the insur
gents stand badly in need of nt present,
and without it it is estimated thev will
lie compelled to accept the terms of
Spain, although it may only turn out to
he a temporary arrangement, to lie fol
low eu ny a more ileteniuned and further
outbreak in due course of time. They
are deending upon their friends in the
I lilted States. If they do not exert
themselves energetically und determinedly
in the near future the dream of indepen
dence for Cuba must be dispelled for the
present.
It is still insisted that Maximo Gomez
recently wrote to the New York junta,
informing them that he must have addi
tional supplies or else the insurrection
would "die of consumption." This is,
however, not credited in insurgent cir
cles, and it is emphatically denied that
he has notified the junta tlint the insur
gents who are under arms ure prepared
to accept the autonomy proiibsition.
As stated in these dispatches previously,
a pence party exists among the insur
gents. The party, however, is hi the
minority. Some decisive blow must be
struck by the insurgents in the near
future if they wish to retain the sym
pathy uroiiHed for them in the United
States and elsewhere, nud for this reason
Gomel is advancing westward.
A friend of the general's, who is
usually well informed, said that he did
not believe the main body of the insur
gent army would advance beyond the city
of Colon, in the west part of Matanzus.
This gentleman added that it would ho,
perhaps, best for him to strike a blow in
any case and it would tend to raise the
drooping spirits of the insurgents. With
these conditions existing, an energetic

A NEW TOINT OF LAW.
Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 18. Judge
Locke rt the federal district coart of
Florida today rendered bis decision
Uie Three Friends case. ,
The point was raised by the counsel for
the defense that inasmuch as the tutan
rebels had not been recognized by tne
United States they were not a booy
politic as defined by the statute under
which the indictment was drawn, lam
point was recognized by Judge Locke,
und the district attorney was given ten
days to file an amended complaint.
This is the first time this point has
been raised.
DO NOT DISCUSS IT.
Washington, Jun. 18.-The officials
here do not discuss Judge Locke's de
cision at Jacksonville in the case of the
Three Friends, except to say that if the
judge's decision is sustained in finul de
cision the case will be taken to the su
preme court.
CALLED FORTH A DENIAL.
Washington, Jan. 18.-The recent
cluim of the Cuban junta of New York
that letters beuring the new Cubun
stamp have passed through the United
States mails has called forth a deniul
from Postmaster Dayton of New York.
In a letter to the Wushiiigton postal
officials he Buys that no envelopes bear
ing stamiH with the inscription, "Repub
lic of Cubu," or otherwise purporting to
be issued by the insurgents, have gone
through thV New York postollice.
Officials here doubt that such stamps
have passed through our mails, but they
say thut mail so stumped muy possibly
hnvo come via Tumpa or Key West, but
the postmusters would have probably
asked for instructions.
The issue bus never been ruised. but it
is looked upon as likely thut mail bearing
Cubun stumps would be treated us un
stamped and the full postage collected
from the receiver.

that the authorities must not permit gro

MACEO'S
JUNTA
SUCCESSOR SAYS THE
HAS NEGLECTED IN
SURGENTS IN DEL RIO.
They Have Plenty of Men to Do the
Rest A Few Poorly-Armed Men
Can Not Face a Well Drilled
Regular Army.
New York, Jnn. 18.-The World prints
an interview with Gen. Ruiz Rivera, ob
tained in the field nenr Cunco, near Pinar
del Rio. In this interview Gen. Rivera
says:
"I do not wish to criticize our friends
in the United States, for I believe them
(referring to the junta) patriotic men and
striving to do their best for Cuba, but
we here in Pinur del Rio have been
somewhat neglected.
"Great reliance was placed ou Gen.
Maceo, our beloved commander, and it
wns thought that he could not only de
feat the enemy in the province, but
finally make a junction with Gomez. But
he knew, and our friends should have
known nlso, thut four or five or ten
thousand good men, poorly armed, and
most of them with scanty ammunition,
could not prevail ngninst 50,000 well
armed and well fed troops. One or two
expeditions landed one at Cirrientes bay
but otherwise for nine months we have
been depending upon our strategy and
knowledge of the province to ke-p ns out
of a pitched bnttle.
"Speaking with reference to cannon, I
wish it could be communicated to our
friends in the United States that cannon
are more in the way of ourselves than
that of the enemy in this province. In
tlie first place, they ere inconvenient to
take about over the hills through the
district of Managua and uniong the
woods. The cannon we have now repre
sent un outlay of $4000 or $5000, und
yet almost 1000 rifles could be purchased
for that sum. Of course when we lire in
a position to assault Havana heavy ar
tillery will be a necessity. Do we expect
to do so? No; not very soon; about the
end of the winter, I hope. There is eer
taiidy nothing to be gained by making
statements that are untrue or that I do
not belief in myself.
"It would be wrong for me to give our
friends in the United States the impres
sion that we are perfectly able to tuke
care of ourselves, no matter what hap
pens. Indeed, now that you are here
representing a paper thut has been true
to us from the beginning.
"1 hope my statements will reach those
who are endeavoring to uid us directly
and assist them in arriving at proper con
clusions. "Some of my best friends may criticise
me for speaking so plainly, but 1 wish
the Cubu ns of New York, Philadelphia
and Key est to know thut we here in
Pinnr Del Rio, like our brothers of the
Orient, are willing to die for Cuba. We
can not fight alone with our hands, nor
even with machetes, ngainst nn enemy
that is fully equipped, fed and drilled.
"We do not need men, and, above all
we do not want foreigners to come un
less they are men of military science. It
is not, us you know, because of any liick
of appreciation of the sympathy or as
sistance of the foreigners. We thank
God that the American nation exists, and
we know and appreciate the great help
it has been to us.
"We do not want young Americans to
come to Cuba ns fighters. Not one in
ten knows a word of the languuge of cur
country-a langunge we would change if
we could, since we dislike Spain.
"There were, perhaps, forty or fifty
Americans with Maceo when he entered
this province, but I do not believe there
are a half dozen left.
"I do not know how Gen. Gomez feels
in this particular, but as far as I am
concerned I do not want foreigners
There are plenty of Cubans j the Unit
ed States, and I presume they are will
nig und anxious to come to the assistance
of their fighting brethren. If men are
to be sent, let Cubans be the men
"But as a matter of fact we are not in
need of men at all. The whole native
population is with us. and I am confi
dent an army of 50,000 could be placed
in Havana province before the winteMs
oyer, if we had but the arms and ammu
nition. Our Cubans are brave and i
tnotic and willing to die for our renub."
