THE OMAHA DAILY lU3I3s I XOVI2M HISK 25) I8 GIVES THE LIE TO WEYLEB Enrique Joe Varona Donioa the Onptair tin oral's Statcmentfl DECLARES CUBANS ARE BOUND TOW IMIIor nf Illlelnl Oruiin li MV Viil-li Sllj'H hill Ali- hulllle nliil l'illililele liidu- ielldelte Will III NRW YQIIK Nov. 23. Knrlquo Joii Varona editor of I'atrla the olHclal orgai of the Cuban Junta In this city and ex deputy from Havana to the Madrid Parlla merit makes a detailed reply to Captaii General statement made to a rep resentatlvo of the Associated press In Ha vfliia. Slpnor Varona says "KegardliiB Oenural Weylor's statemeni that Maceo Is continually scattering lib forcra In order to escape the Spanish columns which ho says arc hunting him tin conclusion he draws from the scattering forces Is abnilrd. It docs not follow thai because the forces are scattered It Is because they seek to avoid capture.

The scat torlng of forces by Maceo Is duo to a pre concerted plan. The forces are sc.ittorct nnd concentrated at will by Maceo and In thereby makes sure of losing as few men a possible and of striking blows when he I least expected by General to do so Maceo cannot afford to lose as many mei asVeyler can for Spain sends men Ilki droves of sheep to the slaughter. The tar tics of which General Weyler complain ore evidences of Maceo's superiority as military tactician over Weyler. "General Weylor's promise of the carlj pacinratlon of the provinces of Havana Ma tanzas and Paula Clara Is shown to be falst by the fact that the rebels have oustalnc. themselves In those provinces over slnci the arrival of General Campos Weyler's pro doecssor notwithstanding that Hie railroar anil telegraph facilities arc In the hands ol tliii Spaniards the ease of approach to thosi provinces from Havana and the easy trans portatlun of armies of men and all th resources furnished lo the troops by at established government.

In the face of al this and of the constant depletion of tht ranks by fevers the Cubans have not beer mihdtiod and will not be subdued In those provinces. GAIICIA A STHONG LI5ADEII. "His further assurance-s that Holguln. Puerto Principe and Ilayamo are unnecessarily protected Is a fallacy on Its face. He liasi-s his claim that the rebel forces are weak In that section on the single fact of the lamentable death of Jose Maceo.

Appreciating fully the great loss which the rebels have suffered through his death I maintain that as a leader his successor General Calixto Garcia not only adds prcs- tlgo to the revolution but has been Instrumental In bringing many additional followers to the flag of Free Cuba. Ily their location these provinces are most favorable to the cause of the revolution. Wo have most of our adherents there the troops arc hotter provided for and are easily accessible for expeditions. The ten years' war has amply proven that the wat could be easily carried on Indefinitely from those provinces nnd by holding only these provinces we could make perpetual war on Spain. Leaving the question of military tactics Slgnor Varona turned attention toward these portions of General Weyler's statement In which the captain general seeks to show that the Cubans are not such sufferers from Spanish tyranny us they claim to bo.

Slgnor Varona said "General Woyler told your correspondent that after 1SOS Spain granted ample and numerous Cuban representation and that the Cubans were permitted to Intervene directly In the establishment of equal rights with thn European Spaniards In the col onies. He also told your correspondent that the provincial and municipal laws are alike in the provinces as In Spain. Ho assures your correspondent that the Cubani have the freedom of the press meeting anil association and that the laws of Madrid are Uho laws of Cuba. "In reply to that permit mo to state that the Cuban raprescntatlon of which the general boasts was and Is a sham for two reasons 1. Ilccnuso the number of Cuban electors Is limited in such a manner that they represent only about 3 per cent of the pop ulation.

2. The law was framed In such a manner that the rcfldent Spaniards would always have the major proportion of the rep resentation. Up to the present time the average membership of Cubans In the Parliament has been three the highest number ever reached being seven. CIM1ANS ALMOST IGNOIIED. The sjino state of affairs exists In the municipal and provincial governments sn much RO that It Is a fact that In the Havana city council It has occurred that there was not ono single Cuban member.

This notwithstanding that throughout the entire Island In the city nnd country districts nn overwhelming majority of the population Is native Cuban. "General Woyler talks of the freedom of slaves In Cuba as a Spanish achievement. The abolition of slavery in Cuba Is entirely due to the Cubans themselves who. notwithstanding the fact that they were slave holders have always been abolitionists. They compelled the insertion of the clause In the treaty of San Jonn which provided for absolute freedom for those colored troops who fought under the Cuban flng.

"The Spanish government was compelled to grant this freedom and Inasmuch as It was Impossible to grant the privilege of freedom to the rebel negro and not to the lo allst negroes who were but partial slaves. It became necessary to grant freedom to all. "And. finally the general hastened to assure your correspondent that Cuba has not been asked to contribute toward the expenses of the government In crushing the rebellion. That Is absolutely a falsehood.

The maintenance of the Spanish soldiers has been derived entirely from the placing of hypothecated Cuban bonds guarantee' by the Cuban debt and revenues alone. Even now second end interior loan which Weyler has effected has been done only after assuring the Spanish people that as soon as possible the debt will be thrown upon Cuba which will have to pay all the expenses of the war should Spanish victory result. "This state of affairs only serves to Increase Cuban determination and makes It Impossible for the war to bo ended by treaty arrangement. In such an event Cuba would bo overwhelmed plunged Into an abyss of debt from which It could not emerge for a century to come. "Nothing short of absolute and complete Independence will gatNfy the Cuban patriots Nothing olup will they accept and they wll KO on lighting to the bitter end.

They an bound to win and they will not lay dowr their arms until hey have secured the prtzi they cherish so highly. LATEST HAPPENINGS IN CUHA.
