Nov. 20 Advices re ceived here from Cuba to-day by the steamship Whitney cast discredit upon the statement that the campaign of Gen. Weyler against Antonio Maceo in the province of Plnar del Rio had failed and that VVeyler will shortly return to Havana It is stated, on the contrary. that Weyler has no Intention of returning to the Capital until he shall have exhausted every effort to compel Maceo to meet him in a pitched battle. When last heard from the Spanish commander was massing his forces for an attack upon the Insurgents.

The latter are said to number only 20, (XX) men. all told, and they are reported to be suffering from a scarcity of provisions, etc. Maceo Is awaiting re-enforcements, and, tn this connection, news of the whereabouts and doings of Maximo Gomes is await ed with much Interest. Little or nothing has been heard recently of Gomes, who Is believed to be at the head of the main body of the insurgent forces. Current reports, some time ago, had It that he was in the province of Santa Clara sand advancing westward toward Matansas.

his objective point being the province of Havana. and probably the city of Havana Itself. While present campaign Is regarded la Havana as marking a crisis 1a the war. It is whispered that at the oonriusloq of any pitched battle which is fought a truce may be declared and arrangements made for a conference between the insurgent leaders and the representatives of Spain. looking to a settlement of the war.

This is most significant as showing that all classes are utterly tired of the war and Its burdens, and longing for some way out of the present dllnVulties. nder these circumstances an impor tant insurgent victory would almost be hailed In commercial circles at Havana with the same satisfaction that a Spanish victory would be received. A great deal of misery exists In Havana and the outlook grows darker and darker as the days pass. Business Is almost at a standstill, the prices of all commodities have grown up to extravagant rates. while the loyal portion of the population has been drained of Its able-bodied men in order to send volunteers Into the held to assist the 2U0.0O9 troops operating against the insurgents in the various parts of the island.

The coasting steamer Triton arrived here to-day from Pinar del Rio with 167 sick soldiers and two insurgent prisoners. Owing to the precautions taken by the Government no definite news could be obtained from this source, and the officials at headquarters say they have ro news at present which can be made public concerning the movements of Capt. Gen. Weyler, although It Is Intimated that there is not much change in the situation. Gens.

A squardon of Hernandez Cortes' regi ment and a company of the Leon bat talion afterward penetrated Into the insurgent camp, dispersing them with heavy loss. The exact number of the enemy killed is not known, but It is stated that sixty bodies are known to have been buried.

In consideration of Spain's efforts to save the national honor and the Islanders' fortunes, says La Luc ha. they are under obligations to show their gratitude to the nation.

Later official reports of the engagement near Damas say that Gen. Lopes, the chief in authority In the district of Ranctl Spiritus. has killed the insurgent General Seradn Sanohes and Capt. Males and has wounded the Insurgent leader Pancho Carrillo. The Insurgents suffered a loss of over 100 in the engagement.

SPANISH-CUSAN ARMISTICE. orofacial Coo Urination of Its He-ported Kxiatence. Washington, Nov. 20. Is no official verification of reports which have been current here and In London of a Spanish-Cuban armistice, and in tact every avenue of official information on the Cuban question Is closed.

The United States in the previous Cuban war sought to have adopted an agreement for an armistice. At that time one of the main difficulties in conducting peace negotiations was in securing the assent of the Insurgents, and to this end Secretary Fish, on June 186, secured the signature of Morales Lemus. as "the authorised agent of the revolutionary party of Cuba." to a document agreeing to an armistice pending negotiations for a settlement. The settlement contemplated the independence of Cuba, and for this reason was not accepted by Spain, and the armistice failed. The Government sought to bring about a truce for the reasons that It thought In three or four months passions might have cooled sufficiently to make possible a permanent peace agreement.

Kays It's an Old Story. Madrid. Nov. 50. The sensational reports circulated in the United States saying that the Island of Porto Rico may rebel against the Spaniards, is a very old story.

As far back as July last. Dr. J. J. Henna, of New York, issued a revolutionary address to the people of Porto Rico, calling upon them to take up arms and, in September last, reinforcements were sent to the Span ish garrison and the usual precautions were taken against filibusters.

From that time on there has been no change worth noting in the situation at Porto Kico. SETTLED AT LAST. An End To the Manitoba School Controversy. Ottawa. OnL.

Nov. 20. The Manitoba school question, which hasj more than once during the past three years threat ened a disruption of Canadian confed eration. has been settled on terms which. It Is believed, will be sufficiently satisfactory to both sides to put an end to Following are the main features of the settlement which have been accepted by the Manitoba Gow ment and will be embodied shortly in an at of the Legislature of that body.

vlr: "Religious teaching Is to be conducted In the public schools (1) if authorised by resolution adopted by a majority of school trustees, or (2) If a petition be presented to the Board of School Trustees asking for religious teaching and signed by the parents or guardians of at least ten children attending the school in a rural district or by the parents of guardians of at least twenty-live children at tending school in a city, town or village. "School work of purely secular char acter will occupy the whole of the school day except the last half hour, when the representative of any religious denomina tion will be allowed to come in and Instruct the children belonging to his denomination, provided the parents are willing to have them remain. In cai-es where the people decide not to have this religious instruction the regular school work will go on until the clove of the school hours. The proviso that is Intended to make the schools acceptable to the minority is that districts having an average attendance of twenty-five Roman Catholic school children shall be entitled to have a teacher of their own denomina tion. who must be fully qualified according to provincial national school standards.

In districts where the children speak French wholly they are to have a teacher speaking both Kngllsh and French, so that they will learn English as rapidly as possible. The readers used In such schools will" be bi-lingual. so that the children will grow up from the first accustomed to Knglish. i Prewar OS offered For the Arrest of the Toll-Gate Destroyers In Woodford.

M'LEAN C0U3JTTS TOTE IS, Bat Not Acceptable Because of a Aliasing Date. NO OFFICIAL COUNT YET. Frankfort. Nov. 20.

(Special.) The State Contest Board, which la composed of the five Sinking Fund Commissioners, has heard nothing from the alleged contest to be made by tho tree- silver Democratic Campaign Committee. It Is not believed here that It ever will. In this county, for instance, nearly the whole of Bryan's majority would be wiped out were Mr. Richardson's demands complied with, and two precincts In which the election officers failed to sign the returns were thrown out. Then here at the Capital there are many things which give reason for tho belief that there will be no contest.

It would not take much stirring to lose his eleo tion to one Bryan elector In Kentucky, notwithstanding he seems to have won by nearly 2.000 plurality. The State Canvassing Board, which is composed of only three of the five Com' mlssioners. is going to have a delicate question to decide whether there Is a contest or not. McLean county's turning board has at last sent. In a new set of returns.

The latter show the vote for the electors, whereas the original turns from that county contained only the certified statement that the Repub llcao vote" was so much and "the Demv oo ratio vote" so much. The later turns are as they should have been at first. They are properly signed by the county officers, but it seems they could not. get the whole thing righti. even is two trials, and left oft.

the date. Secre tary Finley still declines to tabulate ti figures, considering It a question for the board to decide as to which of the re-turns received from that county ahiJl be counted. But He Must Face Still ArJ. other Chance of Murder. 1 Sylvania.

Nov. 20. Solomon Zei, ler did no crime in killing Sheriff ll Bellinger Brooker at Goliad churcp Sunday. October 13. 1895; at least so thje Screven county jury has decided, bringing in a verdict of not guilty at o'clock this morning.

The verdict was read in the presence of a crowded court-house, and defendant's friends shook his hand warmly, and when it was announced his mother was much affected. She has taken active Interest In the trial, remaining by his side during the entire hearing. Solomon is not a free man yet. He is playing a continuous performance in Screven county Superior Court this week. His trial for the urder of Sheriff Brooker ceased last night, and with the jury in this case out debating on a verdict he was brought Into court again to-day as defendant tn another case of similar gravity.

He is charged, together with William J. Walker, with murdering George Bellinger, colored, January 4, 1K95. Walker had been in jail with Corrll and Solomon Zeigler for some months. Bellinger was shot down In his lot by two men who drove up to his house In a buggy. The grand jury indicted Solomon Zeigler and William Walker for the crime at the November term.

COLLIER Says Somo Sharp Things About Representative Lyons. DEFENDS GOV. BRADLEY Lyons' Statements Denonuced As Falsehoods and Slanders. ANOTHER STATE-HOUSE OFFICIAL Manages To Shed Some Light On the Bradley Programme WHILE DENOUNCING BRADLEY'S EIEUIES Frankfort, Nov. 20.

(Special.) Gen. Dan K. Collier, the Adjutant General, seldom, gets excited, but when he thinks even an insignificant person has done him or his friends a wrong, bis indignation, comes out in very strong language. To the Courier-Journal correspondent, who met him to-night, Oen. Collier said: "One William Lyons, of Newport, seems desirous of rendering himself noticeable by making himself more odi ous, than usual, if possible.

For months he has been engaged In slandering the Governor in public Interviews. Of course, the Governor has not noticed him. His charge, however. In iia New port Interview In the Courier-Journal of to-day demands contradiction, only. however, for the benefit of the many persons who do not know him.

The statement that the Governor either di rectly or Indirectly caused a Cincin nati newspaper to send out inquiries to members of the Legislature asking how they stood in the senatorial election or the special session or otherwise Is a base fabrication, without the slightest foun dation. The charge that Dr. Hunter was defeated for the Senate, or that his defeat was contributed to. by the treachery of Gov. Bradley is a malicious lie.

such as only Bill Lyons could tell. On the contrary. Gov. Bradley did everything that he could legitimately for Dr. Hunter.

The Intimation that Bradley was closeted with free-silver Senators or members of the House in any way connected with the senatorial race or otherwise is another dirty raise-hood. tTnder the rule of Gov. Worth-tngton It required seventy votes to be had In Joint assembly to elect a Senator. The Democrats would not be present to contribute to that number. The high est number of Republicans at no time exceeded sixty-eight, except when Mr.

Dunlap was adjudged entitled to a seat. Mr. Dunlap refused to take his seat, and i he consequence was that at no time could more than sixty-eight Republic an votes be marshaled, and this was two votes short of a nomination. The two Populists both voted against Dr, Hunter, except Poor, who voted for him once, but even then the vote waa one vote short of an election. There never was a time when Dr.

Hunter could have been elected." MORE LIGHT ON THE BRADLEY POSITION, The Governor's friends are naturally sensitive about the things being said of his alleged candidacy for the Sen ate and his action with regard to the extra session. One of these, who holds a position, on the square, but is not an appointee of the Executive, to-day made the following interesting remarks about several phases of, the situation: The statement that there is a combination between the Governor and Mr. Blackburn is absurd. The gentlemen! have not spoken since the militia was called out. Mr.

Black burn has denounced the Governor all over the State. Some people as sume that the Governor is a candi date for the Senate, and has hench men moving over the state in nis in terest. This is not true. There is not. and has not been, a single man trav eling in his Interest, although there are a number of men doing missionary work for others, and have been for months.

Gov. Bradley is not a candidate for the Senate, and no man who has any sense of decency or truthfulness will so state. The fact that be nas been quite 111. confined to his room, seems to have inspired and Increased calumnies, rather than to have restrained me wua-eyea liars who are persistently at work. It is also assumed that the powers at Canton are seriously condemn ing Gov.

Bradley and opposing him. Thla Is snot her falsehood and of the same cloth as that which a few days ago announced In jubilant tones, that the Governor would have no influence with Mr. McKlnley and thst all pie-hunters in Kentucky had best bow down and worship certain gentlemen who claim to carry everything in their pockets. There is no man in Kentucky as close to McKlnley as Gov. Bradley, nor is there a man In the Union who did more valuable service for him.

The little gentlemen, who. when the campaign was raging, were either afraid to raise their voices, or if they did. could not be heard above the roar-of the conflict, are now busily engaged In an at tempt to down the Governor. But their attempts are powerless, and only serve to show tne sirengxn oruiicr ura tholF own littlenesa "All this pretense about another election for Governor is the merest bosh, and even viewine- the phase of It, it would be better to have a Democratic Governor than to have some persons in tne Henate wno are It. The whole nation is interested in th man we send to the Senate, and its interests are far above those of the State "It Is said we want no race next year.

Pray, how. is it to be avoided? All the county offices, members of the Senate and House. Circuit Judges. Commonwealth Attorneys and Clerk of the Court of Appeals are to be elected. The State will boll over with excitement.

A race for Governor would be preferable to a race three years hence, and the Republicans would fare better." UeAdes a race and a would settle the con lest, one way th other, three years from now. be cause if we do not win the one, can nt win the other. There is nothing 1 plainer than that Gov. Bradley need not lake his ptace. eiccicu.

ucwie of December, 1897, and In this way an election would be avoided. Tnere win be no extra session of Congress. If the Dingley Bill can be passed it will be done this winter, and if not passed it would be Idle to attempt to pass it next spring. The only session of the Senate will be to confirm nominations, and this will be unimportant. Gov.

Hill waa elected Sen ator of New York, and did not take nis seat until Just In time to prevent a race for Governor. This was regarded as good politics. "The Governor will call an extra ses sion when It Is proper to do so, and not berore. All that Is necessary Is for It to be called In time to pass the needful legislation. The tone of those who are denouncing the Governor shows the bad temper that is prevalent, At the last session he earnestly recommended all the necessary legislation in his message.

They turned a desf ear to his plea. What evidence have we now that they would not do the same thing? The temper was better when the Legislature assem bled than It is now. Gov. Bradley is not a candidate for the Senate, but If he desires to be he should and will be elected. The idea that the Governor an oDoonent to McKlnley and would favor a new party in Kentucky la preposterous.

No man has done more to make the State Republican than Bradley. He has given twenty-seven years of his and expended a fortune to do it. He has seriously injured, in tact. permanently wrecked his health. He has been foremost In every breach and fought while many others faltered and fled.

To say that he would do anytning to destroy or weaken Republicanism is too absurd to thing abouu tjanaiaiy, aak vnu. how would Kentucky Repub licanism stand to-dsy If It were not for Bradley? Let every honest Republican ask himself this question, and seriously consider the answer. There is now a lot of little fish In the swim, who never could have come to the top nao noi been for Bradley, and these little fel-Iawi wLrm constantly nibbling at him and bringing themselves Into contempt." How that the delay of the extra session has caused a temporary lull id sena torial gossip, the politicians are connn-ing themselves almost exclusively to talk about Federal patronage. The two Republican factions In tne atate can still be best described as the Bradley and Hunter sides. Each has a more or less well-defined slate.

On one slate are: John W. Yerkes. for Elghth-dts-rw Collector: James F. Buckner. Fifth- district Collector: D.

CIVILSERVICE SCARECROW "The contest among the Republican. members of the Legislature at the special session over the nelectlon of a nom inee for United States Senator and the subsequent election will make lively times in the little capital city the com ing winter," said a leading local politician yesterday, who is a friend of Gov. Bradley. "I suppose it Is no secret that Dr. W.

Godfrey Hunter is working now to se cure the noailnatlon. i The doctor. 1 1 suppose, thinks that a nomination this time will be equivalent to an election. He forgets, however, that his own friends In the Legislature have already given cause to the friends 'of Bradley to bolt the caucus nominee if that nominee is Dr. Hunter.

I do not think that the friends of Gov. Bradley will bolt the nominee, but I do think that, after what has taken place. if it is seen that Dr. Hunter Is soing to be the nominee, there will be several friends of the Governor who will refuse to go into a caucus at all and. of course, refuse to vote for Dr.

Hunter. "You remember, of course, the state ment of Mr. W. K. Stlgllta, one of the Republican members of the House from the city of Louisville, which appeared In the Courier-Journal several days ago.

in this statement Mr. StlglttS announo- ed that. he. would nH vote for either Bradley or Yerkes. If either was.

the caucue' nominee, but would vote for either Hunterior BC Jobn Boyle. The statement which was followed by a similar one from W. U. Lyons, the member from Newport, gives sufficient grounds to the friends of Gov. Bradley to refuse to go into a caucus if they choose.

It shows plainly that Dr. Hunter has friends who will not abide by the decision of the caucus if the caucus should nominate Gov. Bradley. It is true that later on Dr. Hunter, who is a very shrewd politician, hurried up to Louisville and called down his too-faithful friend.

Mr. Stlgllts afterward modified Ms statement and declared that be would support the caucus nominee, although he was for Dr. Hunter first. This does not help matters, for it is well understood how the friends of Dr. Hunter feel toward Gov.

Bradley. "It will be interesting to know. Just how the newly-elected Republican members of the Legislature will vote In the senatorial caucus this winter. Many of them are personal friends of the Governor and I believe will refuse go into a caucus after the uncovering of the hands of the Hunter Senator-elect Linney. of Louis, vlile, for Instance, Is on record as say.

ing that he was first of all for a sound-money Republican for Senator, one who was not in the least tslnted with the free-silver idea. This, to those who know Mr. Linney, is enough to say that he will probably not go into a Hunter caucus. Mr. Linney further said that before he would vote for a free-slver Republican he would vote for John G.

Carlisle. There are several other members who occupy exactly the same position as Mr. Linney, and it will not be difficult to prevent the election of Dr. Hunter, even though he be favored by Blackburn Democrats, Dr. Hunter may get the Republican nomination, but he can not be 0 Dr.

Hunter still retains his headquarters at the Victoria Hotel and has an assistant who is working hard upon preparations to contest the election of John Rhea In the Third district. Dr. however, is far more deeply Interested in his race for the seat in the United States Senate which he claims he was buncoed out of last winter. Within the past forty-eight hours the doctor held a conference at the Victoria with a number of members of the Legislature. Among those who called by the merest chance were Representatives Freeman, Carson.

Stlgllts and Dodson. of this city, besides quite a number from oat in the State. It is said that the doctor has now a signed list of members numbering forty-five who are 1 lodged to vote for him in the Repuijncaa caucus. As only thirty-six are required to nom-Inant. that being a majority of all the Repub'lcan members.

It can be seen that if the doctor's list is correct he has already more thsn enough to get the nomination, although, as one of the members who is opposed to the doctor said yesterday: "1 don't see what he going to do with the nomination when he gets it. for he can never be tlected. Still the work goes merrily on st the Victoria. Ail visitors save members known to be for the doctor, snd a few Intimate friends, are denied admittance. One of the doctor's most intimate friends said yesterday: "Dr.

Hunter basqult talking to newspaper men and, indeed, to anyone who is not fully In his confidence. He is not taking any chances this I hope he will not be betrsyed byhls supposed friends a he was last 'so'fsr the'llst of Republican senatorial probabilities is ss follows: Gov. W. O.
