Efl‘orts In Favor of Marin Are Having the
Effect of Continuing Weyler—The
Captain General’s J oy at Hear-
ing of Macao’s Death.
HAVANA, Jan. 19, via. Key West.—
There, is considerable complaint here
among newspaper correspondents and
others in regard to the alleged tampering
with mail matter upon the part of the
Spanish authorities, and it is believed that
the attention of the United States, authori-
ties will be called to the matter.
Powerful influences continue steadily
working to bring about the recall of Cap-
tain General Weyler. In the first place, it
is beyond doubt that the attacks made up-
on him by the Madrid newspapers have
placed the general in a very unenvlable
position toward the government, and al-
most any other man would have resigned
before this.
Then, again, the sister-in-law of General
Marin, the captain general Of Puerto Rico,
who was acting captain general of Cuba
previous to the arrival here of General
Weyler, is actively intriguing in his behalf
at Madrid. She is alady of great influence
in political circles, is wealthy, of great in-
telligence and knows when and how to
spend money in order to satisfy her ambi—
tions. She took the chance of General Wey—
ler being attacked and is reported to have
been throwing wood on the fire kindled
with the intention of having General Wey-
ler relieved and General Marin appointed
, his successor as captain general of Cuba.
In addition, the wife of General Marin,
who is also famous for her ambition and
generosity, is skillfully working in his be-
half at Madrid. It is said that she and her
family took away with them from Cuba
nearly $2,000,000. But this is one of the
reasons why the name of General Marin {is
not favorably received by producers here
as .a successor. of Weyler. They do not
wish to see him captain general under any
conditions, and this is having a counter-
acting offect upon his wife’s ambition.
Palmierola Against Maria.
The Marquis Palmierola, who is lookéd
u — h as being an honest man, and who
gammy): the friendship of many highly
reSpecta " and influential merchants,
has, it is understood, Used his influence
and that of his friends against General
Marin, taking the ground that even Wey«
ler is preferable as captain general of Cuba
to General-Marin. This has had the effect
of strengthening General Weyler’s posh
tion, although it is not believed he can last
much longer unless he succeeds in inflict-
ing a severe defeat upon the army of in-
surgents under General Maximo Gomez,
which is understood to be steadily advanc-
ing upon Havana from the east, following
the same route as the one used when Go“
mez over a. year ago pushed his forces al-
most to the gates of this city. Therefore
it is thought probable that Weyler will
gather together all the forces he can dis-
pose of without weakening to a dangerous
extent the garrisons of the large towns
and will push forward into the province
of Santa Clara and occupy positions calcu-
lated to compel Gomez to fight a pitched
battle. Here it is that the strategy of Go-
mez is likely once more to come into play.
Marshal Martinez de Campos and his gen-
erals, when the insurgents first pushed on
westward, mapped out a similar plan of
campaign. But step by step they were
compelled to retreat before the insurgents
without really bringing about a single en-
gagement of importance. The tactics of
the insurgents were, upon hearing that a.
Spanish force had been collected across
their route, to pretend advancing in force
upon it. A detachment in nearly every
case was sent to the front and engaged the
Spanish advance posts, drawing upon the
enemy eventually the attention of the main
body of the Spaniards. While this was in
progress the insurgents almost invariably
turned the left flank of the Spanish troops
and pushed onward, compelling the gov-
ernment forces to retreat or to concentrate
in the towns in order to avoid being taken
in the rear as well as possibly on both
flanks. After a. long series of such ma-
neuvers, admirably, executed, the insur-
gents drove the Spaniards through Puerto
Principe, Santa. Clara and Matanzas and
wound up by almost cutting off the retreat
of Captain General Mhrtinez de Campos,
who had considerable difficulty in reaching
Havana in safety.
Weyler’s Probable Fate.
As a military man Campos is classed as
being far superior to Weyler, and so, if
Gomez was able to play with Campos in
this manner, the insurgent general is likely
to handle Weyler much more severely.
In connection with the reports of the ap-
proaching recall of General Weyler it is in-
teresting to note the manner in which he
received the news of the death of Antonio
Maceo, a. circumstance which has only just
leaked out from the palace. ' At first Wey~
ler would not believe the report and an-
nounced his intention of paying no atten-
tion to it until he received Official confirm a-
tion of Maceo’s death. This was eventually
brought to him while he was at the break~
fast table, whereupon General Weyler arose
from his seat, and raising his hands and
eyes heavenward he exclaimed:
“ Me buena. estrella aim no ha eclipse.-
do!” (“My good star fortune is not yet
eclipsed !”)
This happened at a. time when, as was
well known to the captain general’s most
intimate friends, he was disposed to resign,
and it is thus shown that the death of An-
tonio Maceo actually saved Weyler from
throwing up his position.
Incidentally the eclipse of the captain
general’s good star is only averted at pres-
ent by the ambition of the siSter-in-law
and wife of General Marin in their efforts
to obtain for him the captain generalship
of Cuba, and if General Polavieja, the cap-
tain general of the Philippine islands, who
seems to have made great progress in sup-
pressing the insurrection there, accom~
plishes the task he has before him within
a. reasonable time it is believed here that
he will be chosen to succeed Weyler in
Cuba. »
, Active Demonstration Necessary. .
It is still insisted in Havana that Max-
imo Gomez recently wrote to the New York
aunta informing them that he must have
additional supplies of arms and ammuni-
tion shortly or else the insurrection would
“die of consumption,” but this is not
credited in insurgent circles, and it is em-
, phatically denied that he has notified the
junta that .the insurgents who are under
arms are prepared to accept autonomy. As
previously stated, a peace party does exist '
among the insurgents, but this party is in
the minority at present.
. AThe insurgents admit "that some active
demonstration upon their part is absolutely l
in Notorious
THE E ' v
n.
necessary within the near future if they
are to retain the strong sympathy aroused
for them in the United States, and it is
for this purpose that "Maximo Gomez was
ordered to advance westward and finally
consented to do so, much against his will,
as he is fully alive to the difi‘iculties of the
task. In the first place, the movements of
the insurgents can no longer be made with
the remarkable rapidity which character-
ized their first march through Cuba, for
they no longer have‘the horses which they
had in the first raid, and it was the in-
surgent cavalry which so frequently out—
witted Martinez dc, Campos and his lieu-
tenants. Then, again, the wearisome cam-
paign has had a. depressing effect upon the
insurgents as well as upon the Spaniards,
and this feeling was increased materially
by the death of Macao and by the fact that.
the supplies of ammunition are running
short? The scenes of suffering, destitution
and ruin which are witnessed on all sides
in Cuba have also left their mark upon
the minds of the really patriotic Cubans,
although their desire for independence is
as strong as ever. They believe, however, _
that the object of the insurrection would
have been attained long before ethis, and
consequently there is a. growing desire to
allow the authorities at Washington to set-
tle upon the degree of autonomy which
Spain may be willing to accord the Cu-
bans.
Gomez Won't Surrender.
All talk about the willingness of Gomez
to surrender is classed as utter nonsense by
the insurgents, and even the Spaniards
pay no heed to it, although he may be de-
sirous of seeing the end of the insurrection
approaching. He is said to have, admitted
that he did not think Spain would have
been able to make the sacrifices she has
made. In any case, GOmez seems to be
pushing on westward, and‘ the Spaniards
hope to bring about a fixed battle before
long. .
A friend of the insurgents who is usually’
very well informed was heard to remark
today that he did not believe that the main
body of the insurgents would advance far-
ther westward than the city of Colon, in
the western part of the province of Mo-
tanzas, as Gomez would be taking too
great a risk in so doing with the resources
at his command. Nevdrtheless, the gentle-
man referred to added, it would perhaps
be best fer him to do so in any case, as it
would tend to raise the drooping spirits of
the insurgents, who, in addition to Macoo,
have lost beyond doubt a number of other;
important leaders. _ ,
Under these circumstances a reallyener-
g‘éétic general, with 30,000 01' 40,000 men
under his command, might be able to make
short won: of the insurrection. But ché
1er is not thekind of man to accomplish
anything brilliant. , _ .
Outsi e assistance is what the, insur—
gents stand badly in‘ need of at present, and
without it, it is concluded, they will be re—
duced to a state of weakness which will
compel them to accept the terms of Spain,
although this may turn out to be but a
temporary arrangement, which will be fol-
lowed by another and more successful in-
surrection in due course of time. In any
case everything depends upon the friends
of the insurgents in the United States. If
they do not exert themselves promptly and
effectively in the very near future, the
dream of independence for Cuba. may pass
away for the present. The turning point
of the insurrection, it is believed here, has
been reached.

the bill of Mr. Murphy of the house for.
the erection 01’ a new custom house in,
New York city. The bill limits the cost to
$5,000,000, fixes on the present‘ custom

on the table until tomorrow without the
formality of geing to a. committee. There
was no objection, and the bill went over.
The house bill? was passed authorizing
the construction of railrbad bridges across,
the Cumberland and‘ Tennessee rivers in

The Venezuelan lifet‘t'er.
Mr. Morrill (Rep, Vt.) secured the
adoption of a concurrent resolution re:
stricting the uses of the new Congressional
library to legitimate library purposes, and
then Mr. Pcttigrew Offered the following
resolution :
“Resolved, That the secretary of state
be and is hereby directed to send to the sen-
ate a. statement of the proceedings of the
commission appointed to investigate and
report upon the true divisional line be-
tween the republic of Venezuela and Brit-
ish Guiana, together with a copy of the

The resolution was about to be agreed
to when Mr. Gray (Dem., Del.) interposed
and suggested that it should go to the
committee on foreign relations.
Mr. Pettigrew preferred to have it lie on
the table until tomorrow, and it was so
ordered. ‘
The senate passed the army appropria-
tion bill. ‘ -
In the House.
The attendance in the house was very
light today, as everything gave promise of '
a. dull session. Although an arrangement
had been made whereby today was to be
given to business reported from the com—
mittee on the District of Columbia, there
was first a general call of committees.
From the committee on Indian affairs
the bill to prohibit the sale of intoxicating
drinks to Indians was called up and occa-
sioned some debate. The bill imposes a
fine of $100 and imprisonment for 60 days

The bill to amend the patent laws was
called up 'by Mr. Draper (Rep, Mass),
who explained that it had been prepared
by a committee appointed byathe Ameri-
can Bar association to urge a. revision of
the patent laws. None of ' the changes
proposed by the bill, Mr. Draper said, was
of a radical character, but they were need-
cd to harmonize various statutes of the
existing law, and also to make them con-
form to certain court decisions. He ex-
plained :in detail the proposed amendment.
Among the more important were those
making a foreign patent two years old un-
patentable in this country, placing a gen-
eral limitation of six years on patents and
empowering the commissioner of patents,
if he has reason to believe that an appli‘
cant is not prosecuting his claim with suf-
ficient vigor, to compel him to produce
final proof within six months. The bill
was passed. -. .0-.. _ , , "

A RAT OF TASTE AND TALENT.
The Tale of the Tail of a Rat and the luau-
net in Which Tail Obtained the Living.
A story is told of a recently deceased
rat who obtained oil from a. narrow-
necked bottle by dipping his tail there
in. Then he licked the oil from his
long and well-Oiled tail, and waxed
fat. The truth of the story is certified
by reputable men.
Tht rat; had the misfortune to be
born in a machine shop, where only
metal was used, and there was, conse-
quently little good food for his kind.
It happened that the men always
kept a bottle Of Oil uncorked, and fits.
tened by a. wire to a certain part 01
the machinery. It was in constant
use. One evening the thoughtful rat
betook himself to a. study of this hot-
tle.
Could he not get at the oil? He had
a tail—what use was he making of it!
This tail was an Opportunity, and he
had been wasting it, but now he could
use it. 4
Immediately he inserted the long taii
as far as it would go into the narrow
neck of the bottle, and soaked it thor-
oughly in oil. Then he withdrew it.
and licked the Oil carefully Off from it.
After that he rmeated the some pro-
cess as often as he felt hungry.
One day he was taking a. copious
meal of oil when he realized that he
had forgotten his hereditary caution.
and that a man was watching him.
The man showed no sign of attacking
him, but rather a pleased curiosity.
and the rat therefore stayed. The re
sult of this meeting was that in time
the rat got into the habit of taking his
meals in the presence of the work-
men, and that to have killedso clever
a creature would have been regarded
as a crime. He led a happy life, and
died of oil and years—New York J our.

ms otouo WOMAN. "
A. Strange Apparition fanned of Giant?“
and Rocks on Lake Leman’s Sho‘res.
A strange freak of nature is “the
lady of the lake,” a combination of
rocks and clouds in the form of a wo-
man. on the shores of Lake Leman in
Switzu .zzud.
The strangest thing about this freak
is that, though permanent, it is not fre-
quently seen. Only under certain at~
mospheric conditions does the lady of
the lake appear to her admirers. If
there are: no clouds, the naked rock is '
too plainly visible. 0n the other hand,
it often happens that the clouds are so
thick that nothing can be seen at all.
The lady of the lake is a gigantic fig-
ure 1,000 feet high. When she appears '
at the best her head is covered by a
white veil falling down her back, the
corsage of her dress is gray, and her
skirt is of dark color, with large pleats
and a long train.
A more majectic figure is not to be
found anywhere. No human being or
aggregation of human beings could
ever produce a work of such dignity.
The human likeness of the figure is
very striking.
The apparition from a distance is
grewsome, incised, and many travelers
seeing it for the first time have been
given a fright from which they did
not recover in many days—New York

sions. The Littré Dictionary cOntains

tained 15,000 words; but Thommery
