GENERAL PANDO’S OPINION. lie Thinks No Troops Could Have Done More Than the Spaniards—“’liat Hp Considers the Most Important ‘ ' Probable Field of Conflict. HAVANA. Jan. 28.—-General Luis Panda, who arrived here with General Prats yes- terday, in an interview today said that he had come to Havaha in obedience to the orders of his superiors to act as oo- adjutor with General Marin in the tem- porary command of Cuba, pending the ar- rival here of General Valeriano Woyler, ,, the new captain general of Cuba, when he (General Panda) will he succeeded by Gen- eral Suarez Valdes. General Pando an- nounced himself to be in favor of concen- trating and strengthening his forces 1n the province of Plnar del Rio, and he hopes to take command of the Sp. mish troops there in person when at liberty to do so. He is well acquainted with that province, and with the peculiar, ancient political sym- pathies and conditions and anticipates be- ing able to call 911 the loyal population to arms in support of the Spanish govern- ment. The general says that numerous evidences exist in Pinar del Rio which show that quite a considerable portion of the population is willing to take up arms against the insurgents, and, according to his way of looking at it, General Antonio Macao ought to and must succumb in the province of Fiber (lel Rio. Continuing, General Pando expressed the opinion that for the present the place of honor for the Spanish generals is in » command of the troops in Pinar del Rio, and he is. anxious to go there. But should his superiors decide otherwise, and it should be determined that it is not neces- sary to utilize his services there, General Pando was willing to return to the prov.- ince of Santiago de C 11111 and resume charge of the Spanish trc ops there in spite of the fact that 9, 000 troops have already been taken away from that part of the is‘ land in order to push the military opera- tions in progress in other parts of Cuba. Santiago do Cuba Quiet. But this withdrawal of the military force from Santiago de Cuba, General P1111110 explains, has not resulted in any furthel outbreaks of lawlessness. On the contrary, he adds, everything is now radi The country is wearing a. bright aspect, the la- borers are all at work on the plantations, the grinding of sugar cane is actively pro- gressing, and peeple are gcypg and com- ing without any difficulty/and without being in any way intern red with by the insurgents. Naturally the peaceful state of ‘the province of Santiago de Cuba. is greatly due to the fact that the insurgent armies under Gomez and Antonio Macco, in moving eastward from there, took with them many of those who were willing to support the insurgent cause, and later, when the second insurgent army, under Jose Mason and Rabi, commenced its march eastward from the piovince of San— tiago de Cuba, it took with it nearly eve1y 1111111 the insureg rats were. rble to muster to their banners. Thus, while the troops in that province were largely drawn upon to re-enforcc those in the other provinces the insurgents and the friends of the in- surgents in Santiago do Cuba have been still more largely drawn upon, enabling the peaceful inhabitants to resume their usual occupations. A Little Taffy. General Pando spoke in the highest terms of the bravery and endurance of the Spanish troops he has had under his com- mand. ‘ says that the raw. young sol- diers endured hunger and thirst, sickness and fatigue ‘without c0111plaint,‘a11d that no troops in the world could have behaved . better or have accomplished more under ' the circumstances. In this statement, it may be added, General Pando is sustained by the reports of other generals and by the remarks of disinterested persons who have been eyewitnesses of tho_ against the insurgents. The whole trou- ble seems to be summed tip in the fact that the Spanish infantry, although well han- dlcd and brave. has been unable to cope successfully with the equally well handled and brave mounted infantry of the insur- gents. of horses. The mounted insurgents have been able to move quicker and to cover longer distances than the dismounted Spaniards. But. Genera-l Pando claims that, in spite of this, if the insurgents can Operations ' It appears to have been a question 1 be driven to fight a pitched battle, the I Spaniards will defeat them in short order, even though the enemy may be in larger numbers.

A Noted Player Who at Times Fanciers Himself 8 Bishop .or Knight. A chess champion, a German gentleL ' man whosoname is well known to all players andmost nonplayers of that sci- entific game, recently told the writer that the intense mental activity which 'it was necessary to display while en- gaged in a combat on the board often led him to unconsciously do ridiculous things when the game was over. “For instance,” he said, an uncommon thing for me, when Walk- ing home in the evening after several games of chess at my club, to imagine _ that I am one of the pieces On the board. Quite unconsciously, and probably while thinking about something else, I will take great care to plant my feet firmly in the center of. the'fingstones and not step upon the lines that divide them. Again, theidea. that I am a knight will seize me, and those Who walk behind me are convulSed with laughter to see me take a step forward, and one'to one side, which is not, to say the least of it, a dignified method of progress. “Sometimes I am a. bishop and move in a slanting direction, till forcible con-. cussion with a. Wall brings me to my senses. “It is very foolish, I know, but I can- not help it. I suppose it is that the game," its chances and possibilities are so continually running in my mind that chess to me is almost becoming a second nature.
