WEYLER IS WORRIED
Insurgent Bands Within
Three Miles of Havana.
GOMEZ IS BURNING FOR REVENGE
Zertnclia tne Traitor, and Cirnjeda Are
Both Marked Men, ind Will
Oet So Mercy.
Cincinnati, Dec. 22. A special to ihe
Commercial Tribune Irom Key West
says :
That General Weyler is going into the
field again is confirmed tonight by pas
sengers on tbe Havana boat. Prepara
tions are being made with secrecy for a
forward movement. Three battalions of
newly-landed troops left by water for tbe
east. It is supposed this is a part of
Weyler's campaign. Gomez is advanc
ing rapidly, and it is thought Weyler
will, if possible, prevent his coming to
tbe gates of Havana. It is stated from
Cuban sources that tbe Cuban leader is
wild over the murder of bis only son,
and bis beloved chief, and is burning to
revenge their fall. The Cubans in the
army are infuriated also over the treach
ery of Dr. Zertucna. Dr. Zertucha is a
marked man too, and it is reported a
move will be made to abdnct him. He
is now in a fortress some miles from Ha-
, vana, with a strong Spanish guard. His
trip to Spain will be postponed, tbe Cu
bans say, as, if he goes over there, they
have friendly hands in that country who
will avenge Maceo and young Gomez.-
Major Cirnjeda also comes- in for his
share of hatred and revenge. Strong in
enrgent bands are now eo close to Hava
na that the Spanish soldiers seldom ven
ture far out of the gateB of the city ex
cept in strong force. A company of 25
were attacked Snnday not over three
miles from tbe palace, by an insurgent
band, and several of them killed. This
audacity has worried Weyler, but he
cannot capture or disperse them.
An American named Amos Johnson,
from Texas, is their most prominent
leader. '

NOT ILLEGAL. BUT UNWISE.
Uracil Claims the Disputed Guiana
Territory.
New York, Dec. 22. The Herald's
correspondent in Rio de Janeiro tele
graphs that it is semi-officially an
nounced that the Brazilian government
is in possession of documents of tbe
greatest importance in relation to that
part of Gniana which is now in dispute
between Great Britain and Venezuela.
This document, it is stated, gives satis
factory proof that the territory in ques
tion is properly within tbe domain tf
Brazil. It is' declared also on the an
thority of persons in confidence that
when the dispute between England and
Venezuela is settled, Brazil will for
mally present her title to the territory
and expects to triumph over all claim
ants.
Brazil's claim to the territory in tbe
Guiana' district -begins over a portion
now under arbitration between that
country and France. Her claim to ad
joining territory in Venezuela is of
' more recent date.
Brazil was much disturbed during
the later part, of last year concerning
news of the presence of British troops
in the territory in dispute. English
missionaries then in the territory de'
clared it to be neutral until final ad
justment should be arrived at.
It appears now that Brazil has ex
tended ber claims in Gniana to all the
region- in the Ynari and Delta territo
ries. This includes tbe Central gold

Cincinnati, Dec. 22. The Commer
cial Tribune having asked by - telephone
of Judge George J. Hoadly, of New York,
to give his 'opinion in regard to the ex
clusive right of the president to acknowl
edge the inderjendence of Ctfba, replied
as follows- "
"Legislative powers granted by the
constitution are, in accordance with ar
ticle 1, section 1, vested in congress.
Plenary powers oyer the relations of the
United States with foreign governments
is committed to congress by the power
granted in section 8, clause 3, to regu
late commerce with foreign nations; al
so to the president and senate by article
2, section 2, clause 2, to make treaties
with the concurrence of two-thirds of the
senators present, and by like advice and
consent to appoint ambassadors.
"By tbe express terms of article 5, sec
tion 2, Che laws of tbe United States and
all treaties are the supreme law of tbe
land. From this it follows that tbe pow
er to recognize foreign states and to de
termine which of the two parties repre
sents the state is lodged in the president
and senate by tbe treaty power, and con
gress, subject to the veto of the presi
dent, has tbe power to regulate com
merce with foreign nations. Both these
powers necessarily involve the right to
determine which is the law of the for
eign state, with power to treat or carry
on com merce.
"By article 2, section 2, clause 3, reso
lutions and acts in which the concur
rence of tbe senate and house are neces
sary, except on questions of adjourn
inent, must be presented to the preei
dent, and if approved by bim or passed
over his veto, become laws as effectually
as in the case of a bill. From the char
acter given to the foregoing laws of the
United States, it follows that they take
precedence in authority over an ' execu
tive order receiving an ambassador,
which is the power referred to in tbe
support of the claim that the president
may recognize foreign states without
consulting congress.
"I desire to accompany the foregoing
opinion with theexpression of a strong
conviction that the proposed action on
the part of congress, would, be in the
highest degree unwise, though not il
legal.- . GbOBGB J. HoADLEY.

interests of the government against a
scheme of those who held tbe notes,
whose purpose was to absorb tbe branch
lines ot tbe Union Pacific. He belieyed
the Union Pacific is not insolvent, and
the floating debt was created for the ex
press purpose of complicating and em
barrassing tbe government liens.
Gear, chairman of the committee on
Pacific roads, asked if Pettigrew favored
tbe-operation of the roads by the govern
ment. He answered certainly, that the
government could not possibly manage
the Pacific roads worse than they have
been managed. .It would do away with
pools, combinations and discriminating
rates which made American railways a
target for criticism. .
Piatt of Connecticut spoke of the im
perative necessity of considering the im
portant question of settlement with the
Pacific roads. The indebtedness reach
ing $115,000,000 was in danger of ' being f
lost, and yet this vast debt and the per.T
of its loss seemed to disturb no one.
Morgan of Alabama said tbe state
ments made by Pettigrew were of a most
grave character. It was difficult for any
single mind to grasp the "labyrinth of
fraud and rascality that had made this
subject a perfect saturnalia of fraud."
The Pacific railway discussion contin
ued in the senate until 2 p. m., when
the morning hour expired ; v apparently
ending the prospects for a Cuban debate.

New York, Dec. 22. A dispatch to

The large measure of clemency on the

About four yearj ago Eczema made its ap

was attended by two physicians, but notwith
standing their t.catinent it continued spread
ing, until my face was covered with scalee
and became a horrid loathsome sipht. Foi
three months I v"id not leave the house, and
people passing would turn and look back
when seeing me at the window. 1 had a flue
bead of hair, seven years' growth, and had to
sacrifice it. I was in despair. The physicians
had failed even to relieve me, when one of
them recommended Ccticura Soap. My
father dismissod the doctors and procured a
full set of CunouB Remedies. 1 com
menced using them according to directions,
and In three weeks from the time I began,
- the scales had left my face and the skin lost
its florid hue. In six week I tea entirely
cured. My lice was smooth and niy com
plexion clearer and finer than it had ever
been before. I used three boxes of Cutici:ba,
one half dozen cakes of Ccticora Soa i, and
one bottle of Cutjcuba Resolvent. Persons
