Tun EVENING GAZETTE OUBAN OMS ARMED And the Heavy Guns Are Not'Pointed TOWard the Insurgents. ‘ WE MAY HAVE TO WHIP SPAIN Consul General Lee Says That War Is Possible, ‘out Hie 'Thlnks That It] May Be Averted—The Dons Are In a Bitter Mood. WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-—Geneml Fitz- hugh’Lee, consul general of the United States to Cuba, returned here last evening from Virginia, where he had been visiting his family. No time has yet been fixed for his return to Havana, but it is under- stood he has been asked to remain here probably a couple of weeks longer in order to hold himself in readiness to confer with the president and secretary of state over the Cuban situation. _ ' General Lce.talked last night of the Spanish-Cuban situation and while not denying the possibility of war with Spain expressed the opinion .that the reports that open rupture was imminent and that con- sequent preparations for trouble were be- ing made by both countries might be greatly exaggerated. He said he had no knowledge of immediate‘aanger of hostil- ity, though of course there was great feel- ing among some Spaniards against this country who thought that without fili- bustering aid and comfort from here the rebellion might easily be suppressed. / He said he had no informa n as to whether the Spanish were preparing for war, but they might be making extensive military preparations without aiming them particularly at the United States in view of the trouble they are having in both Cu- ba and the Philippine islands. Contin- uing, the consul general said: “I do not believe that there has been any massing of armament in Cuba with a view to possi‘de trouble with the United States nor that the construction of Span- ish war vessels is to be attributed to any such contingency. The Spanish may be improving their defenses wherever possi- ble, but it does not necessarily imply ex- pectation of war. The United States is steadily strengthening its fortifications and defense works, but it is an old maxim that says, ‘In times of peace prepare for war.’ , The Cuban Coast Armed. “About the war sentiment in Cuba? The Spanish officials said nothing to me that indicated an expectation of war. The only thing that could be construed to give that impression is the mounting of a bat- tery of heavy sea coast guns along the coast above Havana. There are from 12 to 15 of these that extend perhaps a mile or a mile and a half north from the lights from the city proper. They point to the sea and not toWard the insurgents. In case of at- tack it is possible these might be made to supplement the defense given by Morro castle, Cabanas and Riena and other forts. “ The Spanish authorities rather censure the United States for not strictly enforc- ing the neutrality laws, and many think that- as the sympathy of the country is more with the insurgents than with the Spanish our government does not want to take the proper precautions to prevent ex- peditions leaving the United States sea- ports and landing in Cuba. “I told the Spanish authorities that- thcy must remember that there was an immense extent of sea chat here, with in~ numerable inlets and places where expe- ditions could be concentrated and embark- ed, and from the trouble which thoythem- selves had to prevent the landing of each expeditions en the Cuban coast, notwith- standing the fact that their gunboats and other vessels are constantly patrolling and on the lookout for fllibusters, some idea could be formed of the oompamtlve ease with which the UnitedStates authorities could be evaded. With the comparatively small Cuban coastline, I know of only one big expedition—that of the Thine Friends -—whlch has been captured by tliem. .Yet this country has certainly prevented the starting of at .least half a'dozen big expe- ditions for the island. In view of this as an object lesson for the difficulty of put- ting a stop-to filibustering, I contended that the Spanish ought to be careful about censuring us. Anxiety About Weyler. HAVANA, Nov. 16. —As the days pass and bring no news from the Spanish forces in the province of Pinar del Rio the anx- iety here grows deeper, and many rumors are circulated. The situation of General Weyler is unknown, and the nonreceipt of intelligence concerning his movements leads many persons here to believe that he is waiting for a decisive engagement with the insurgents before he will allow any in- formation to leak out. It is reported that the insurgent chief Ducassi was killed in the engagement with General Weyler’s forces in the Rubi hills. Colonel Lara reports having had an en- counter with a' party of insurgents nwr Calabazar, province of “Santa Clara. He says the insurgents were routed, with a lossof 21 killed. The losses of the troops were three killed and eight wounded. Serafin Sanchez, the insurgent leader, . attacked the town of Condado, 12 miles from Trinidad. The insurgents fired eight cannon shots, but did no dam-go. Find- ing it impossible to capture the town, they set fire to a number of huts on the out- skirts and cut the telegraph wires, after which they retired. ~ Doesn’t Expect War. LONDON, Nov. 16.-—-A dispatch from Madrid to The Central News says that Mr. Hannis Taylor, United States minis- ter to Spain, has given public assurance that the relations between Spain and the United States are friendly for the present and that there is no reason to‘fear a con- flict between the two countries. Mr. Tay- lor expresses his belief that President Cleveland will not alter his attitude of scrupulous avoidance of difficulties. De Lorne Not to Be Retired.

Minister Andrade Taking the Documents to His Country For Official Approval. WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. —Senor Andrade, minister to the United States from Vene- zuela, has gone home. He has taken with him a copy of the treaty between Venezu- ela and Great Britain for the arbitration of the boundary dispute, together with a copy of the agreement signed by Secretary Olney and Sir Julian Pauncefote, which was preliminary to the treaty between the countries actually in interest. Senor An- drade will urge ”his government toaccept the treaty at once. * He will carry a letter from Secretary Olney, which will show the position of this country and will point out to the Venezuelan government the advantage of accepting the treaty and adjusting the boundary on the lines secured through the intervention of the United States. Senor .Andrade eft Washington confident that there Wi . be no hesitancy on the part of Venezuelavin accepting the treaty, but he was so anxious that the matter should be speedily dis sed' of that hegdecided to go in person Caracas instead of making his representations by letter. - The treaty will have to be. approved not only by President Crespo, but; by, the house of representatives of.Venezuela.-. Minister ‘ Andrade had' no doubt Of- speedy action on the part of the Venezuelan legislature, es- pecially when it was found that a treaty 'so favorable to that country had been made and that its adoption was strongly urged ‘ by the~United States. The treaty is in blank as to signatures, but no doubt it will be signed by Sir J u- lian Pauncefote on the part of Great Brit- ain and by Senor Andrade on the part of Venezuela, as it is known to be the inten~ tion of all those taking part in the negoti- ation to have it concluded in Washington, as was the agreement between Great Brit- ain and the United States which brought about the treaty.

Non- - partisan Currency Commission. WASHINGTON, Nev. 14.-—During the last session of congress Representative Heat— wole (Rep) of Minnesota introduced a res- olution providing for a nonpartisan cur-‘ rencycommission. It provided that the president should “appoint nine citizens, eminent in trade, political economy and banking, to act with the comptroller of the currency” as a commission of experts to offer recommendations for needed changes in. “our present inadequate bank- ing and currency system,” and to report its recommendations to congress. This res- olution, it is said, may be pressed during the coming session of congress. It is known that the banking and currency committee of the house, to which the Heat- . wole resolution was referred, was not fa- vorably impressed with it because the com- mittee believed itself competent to evolve a. satisfactory currency scheme. As nothing was accomplished in the last session it is now possible that a currency commission may be looked upon with favor. The committeeen appropriations of the house of representatives will meet on Nov. 30 to begin the preparation of the appropri- ation bills for the coming session. The committee will divide itself into subcom- mittees on the various bills and endeavor to have the different measures ready to re- port at an early date after the opening of congress. The appropriations committee will have a week’s time before congress convenes in which to work on the bills. Curiously enough, the amateur cabinet makers who are engaged in constructing a council of advisers for President McKinley have overlooked one of the two names which in the inner circle of intimates sur- rounding the president elect for the last few months have had the greatest prestige. One of the two, John Sherman for secre- tary of the treasury, was mentioned the other day and has since been taken up by the cabinet makers as a new discovery. The other, who has thus far been entirely ignored in the newspaper prints, is Andrew D. White of New York for secretary of state, who is believed to be favored by some of Mr. McHinley’s most intimate friends. To Receive Gold. WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.—Assistant Secre— tary Curtis has returned from a short visit to New York, where he went to consult ; with the assistant treasurer on matters connected with the large offerings of gold now being made. Mr. Curtis stated today that arrangements had been perfected by which all ofi'crs of gold, except possibly small amounts by individuals, would be promptly received and currency returned. The seatt'blvn sax-"vice. ALBANY, Nov. 14.——Inquiries at the office of the civil service commission fail to elicit any information as to the results ar- rived at by the board.

Catlin, of Tolorio, 111. “There may be eight, ten, twelve, fourteen or sixteen rows, but never nine, eleven, thirteen or fifteen. This fact and the knowledge of it cost several men in my neighborhood very dearly a few days ago. A. farmer who raises a small crop of corn, and who has always been regarded as of rather weak intellect, concluded that he saw a chance to make some bets. Early in the sea- son he carefully scraped from a dozen ears of corn just formed one of the rows. The corn ripened, and the re- maining rows grew together so as to hide the evidence of the one removed ever having existed. Then the far- mer offered to bet either that the oth- ers could not or that he could find ears of. corn with odd rows. He had no trouble in getting some very good bets on the latter proposition, , but, of course, none on the first. He then found the ears he had fixed, and made as much money on the dozen ears as he did on the entire crop of corn. Now, any sugggestion \of corn with odd rows is provocation for a fight in that neighborhood.—-Washington Star. THE RETIRED BU RGLAR. [Io Takes a. Week’s Vacation. but He Doasn’t Enjoy it a. Bit. “I told you once,” said the retired burglar, “about sitting down one night in the parlor of a house that I’d called at, to rest a minute, and falling asleep; and about being woke up by the man of the house who took me for his uncle that he’d been expecting on a late train and took me upstairs and put me to bed in'the best room. Remember that? Perhaps you remember that after the house got quiet I opened the window and got out on the roof of the veranda just ‘in time to hear the real uncle come up the path from the street, and hear him and the nephew hustle l l ‘zsinirs after the strange man in the nest room, eh? IVell, I had an experi- ence once that was a great deal worse thai that. “I had stepped into the front room of a house from the veranda, through a window which I’d opened without much trouble, and which I left open so I wouldn’t have the trouble of opening it again when I was ready to go out. I hadn’t much mor’n got in when a man came through a door on the other side, carrying a lamp, just the same as the man did that took me for his Uncle. William; and this man holds the lamp up and looks at me and says: “ ‘Why. Bill!’ “And I’m blessed if it wasn’t a cousin about five years before and I knew well enough, but I’d never been to visit him and we’d sort 0’ half forgotten each other the way people do when they live in separate place like that. I’d thought of him when I struck the town, but it only just sort of occurred to me that it was the town Steve lived in. I hadn’t any more idea of meeting him than if we‘d been a thousand miles apart. “‘ ‘How’d you get in, Old man?’ says Steve, and I give him the same jolly wouldn’t disturb the folks, but just sit in the parlor till morning and surprise ’em. “ ‘Well, come on now,’ he says, ‘and you get up;’ and he took me off up— stairs to bed. I set my bag down a lit- tle to one side when we got into the room, but his eye happened to light on it, and he says: your bag you didn’t mean to stay long;' and I says no I hadn't meant .to, but I’d stay as long as I could. “Of course I couldn’t slide down no veranda post on Stephen. I had to stay and make ’em a visit; and I did. I stayed a week, and they made me just as comfortable as they could; didn’t enjoy it a bit." but I See how quickly it dissolves: 4.-.. .. .
