HIS FINAL MESSAGE
President Cleveland Getting
Ready for Congress.
AWAITING CUBAN DEVELOPMENT
Among "ther Thing He Will Beccom
mend the Retirement of the Green
back and the Sherman
Notes.
Washington, Nov. 27. President
Cleveland has been devoting a .great
of time to hia annual message during tbe
last week, and now has it well in hand
so that it can be finished in a couple of
days.
The message ia expected to be one of
the ablest documents Mr. Cleveland has
written during his two- terms. It will
be in a sense his farewell to tbe Ameri
can people as their chief executive, and
there is little doubt that he will embrace
the opportunity to mark .out the course
he believes ought to be followed by the
national government for the maintenance
and development of Jne honor and pros
perity of the country.
Foreign affairs will naturally claim
considerable attention, and the presi
dent will have an opportunity to con
gress and the country upon the solution
of the Venezuelan-boundary controversy
in America in an honorable and satisfac
tory manner, alike to the United States
and to Great Britain and Venezuela.
The condition of affairs in Turkey will
be discussed in detail, and the president
will be able to show that the ordinary
diplomatic agencies have sufficed for the
protection of 'American life and prop
erty in the Turkish empire.
Tbe last paragraphs of the message to
be written will be those dealing with tbe
situation in Cuba. He will avail him
self of the latest possible information as
to the military situation in the island,
and the prospect for early settlement or
failure of the insurgents may have much
to do with shaping his policy. The
present indications are that he will
make 'no radical recommendations on
this subject. ' Other foreign complica
tions in which the United States is in
terested will be touched upon briefly.
Secretary Carlisle ia preparing 'data
looking tojthe increase of revenue by
imposing revenue duties on tea and
offVe, and by increasing the internal
revenue tax oh beer, and the president
will doubtless . express his approval of
.these recommendations.
The financial reform recommendations
of tbe meesage'will be along the line of
Mr. Cleveland's former recommenda
tions, and will have as their basis the
advocacy of the single gold standard as
the foundation of the monetary system
of the country.
The retirement of the greenbacks and
the Sherman notes will be recommend
ed, so as to take the' government entire
ly out ol the business of issuing promis
sory notes. Banking reform will be rec
ommended at the same time, to enable
the banks of the country to issue circu
lating notes which can be expanded or
contracted in volume to meet the needB
of the busiuers of the country.
Mr. Cleveland is alive to tbe necessity
of continuing the expansion of the navy,
and of constructing coast defenses to put
the country in a condition to,resist for
eign aggressions, and the recommenda
tions on theee lines made by Secretaries
Lamont and Herbert in their annual re
ports will be seconded in the message.

own a record, so navy gossip has it, and
she fondly hopes to. eecure it ou her
coming trip to Callao. It is said that
her officers have firmly determined that
the vessel shall break all .existing rec
ords for armored cruisers. Notwith
standing that the officers refuee to cor
roborate the report, it comes from' a
good source and would seem to be borne
out by the nature of the preparations
made for this voyage. No stop will be
made on tbe way down, though it is
usual for ' warships bound to South
America to recoal at Panama.
In anticipation of the long voyage,
15U0 tons of coal has been put aboard
the cruiser, and eveiy inch of available
space is being economized, encroach
ments being made on the officers' quar
ters. The polished floor in the ward
room has been taken up and a coal
chute passes through' the apartment.
The Philadelphia has all the coal she
can carry. . Tomorrow has been set as
the sailing date.
WEYLKK WAS DUFEATED.
News of Maceo'a Knot Mountain Victory
Confirmed.
New Yoke, Nov. 27. The Cuban
junta in this city claims to have re
ceived confirmation via Key West of tbe
report that Maceo had defeated Captain-General
Weyler in the Bubi mount
ains of Pinar 'del 'Rio. The following
account of the. battle was furnished by
the secretary of the junta last night:
General Weyler's forces, while march-'
ing through the Rubi mountains, about
thirty miles from Havana, were attacked
by Maceo's army. The charge ' was eo
sudden and played such havoc with the
troops that the insurgents were able to
pour several volleys -into tbe Spanish
ranks before the latter could rally and
return the fire. . The battle was short
and . desperate, and General Weyler,
seeing that bis men were fighting at a
disadvantage . and ' were being slaugh
tered, ordered a retreat, leaving over
1000 dead and . taking his wounded with
him.
After leaving tbe mountains General
Weyler. proceeded to Arteniiea, where
he stopped to allow bis army to rest.
"
- Policy of White-Metal Senators.
Salt Lale, Nov. 27. The Tribune
publishes an interview with Senator
Dubois, of Idaho. The senator says that
he has no idea that there will be any at
tempt to pass the Dingley bill at this
session of congress, it is a piece of legisla
tion tb at failed at tbe last session and
ought to fail at any session. .When
atked about the policy of tbe silver sen
ators in the next congress, be. said:
' ; "They will hold the balanbe of power
in the senate and will, no doubt, con
tinue their aggressive, fight for silver-,
making all other issues subordinate to
that. There can be no prosperity under
tbe McKInley administration, any more
than there was under Cleveland. Mc
Kinley wants a high tariff and a gold
standard. No matter what kind of a
tariff we have, there can be no pros
perity except for a few, under tbe gold
standard. One more trial of tbe Re
publican party will convince the people
of this, in my judgment, and tbe silver
advocates will win the congress in '08
and tha presidency in 1900."

. Speedily Cured by 1,
CUTICURA REMEDIES
I was a sufferer for eight years from that
moswlistressing of all diseases. Eczema, but
can mow say tru.hfully that I am entirely
cured. I tried some of the best physicians
in the country, but they did me little good.
The' iahns of my hands were covered, and
would become inflamed;- little white blisters
at first would appear, then they would peel
o(T, leaving a red, smooth surface which would
burn like nra and itch ; well, there is no name
for it. On the inside of the upper part of
both my limbs, great red blotches not unlike
hives would appear, and as soon as I became
warm, the burning and itching would begin?
Night after nifrht I would lie awake all nicht
and scratch, and almost go wild. I heard of .
Cutkiura remedies, tot a box of Cuticura
(ointment), a bottle ot Cutiouka Re.ioi.vekt
(blood purifier, and gave them a thorough
trial, and afir a few applications I noticed
the redness and inflammation disappear: be
fore I had wed one hox tfire vat not n s.yn of
Eczema left.- I cai trntlifullv asscr; tl-at fii.OQ
