Weflcr Forcing the lighting-SerenU Kngagemente. Havana, Nov. 18.—A number of engagements have taken place in the provinces of Matanzas, Ha vana and Pinar del Rio. The re bels at Tenria were dispersed. (The latter is a hamlet near Con- solacion del Snr, in the province of Pinar del Rio.) General Arolos reports having heard rifle and cannon firing near Rabi and heavy firing near Loma, probably from the division -under General Weyler. The hills of Rubi have been captured after a serious engage ment. The Spaniards had a gen eral, six officers and 54 soldiers wounded. The colonels of the Spanish army now in Havana have offered to raise 2,000 volunteers to take the field for Spain. Committees have been organised to go into the different districts of the city and collect funds for the popular subscription to increase the navy. An insurgent named Apolonio Eaez will be (hot at the Cabanas fortress to-morrow. Ool. Arce was conveying sup plies from Placetas to Fomentown when he was attacked by insur gents, all of whom were killed.

Some six weeks ago the department in the ordinary course of routine business called on the transcontinental roads for bids for the exchange of troops between Florida and California.

These institutes are supported in part by the Northern and Southern white Baptist [socie ties and will, no doubt, be pro ductive of great good. The pur pose is to give some opportunity for instruction to those ministers who may not have had many op portunities for advancement. Rev. H. L. Morehouse, B. D., Sec’y. of the Home Mission Society, de livered many interesting addresses on various topics. His remarks were indeed inspiring and help ful. Addresses were made by Rev. J. W.

Washington, November 13.—The Cuban aituation remains exactly as it stood when the Southern As sociated Press sent out on October 27 the following dispatch : “So fir as can be learned from the best sources of information the rumors put in circulation on Wall street to-day as to the prob ability of a warlike message from the president on Cuban affairs and a possible extra session of Con gress have no foundation in fact, and were set afloat for stock jobbing purposes only. There have been anticipations that Spain, failing to negotiate the loans she is trying to place on the European market for the further prosecution of the war in Cuba, might seek to provoke some antag onism short of actual war with the United States in order to allay ex citement at home, and to give plausible reasons for the failure to suppress the Cuban rebellion. This possibility, it is understood, was discussed in Cabinet meetings ten days ago. There have been no new or startling developments since, and none expected.” One of President Cleveland’s Cabinet advisers remarked with a smile when the published state ments about imminent war were shown him to-day: “The election is over. I suppose the newspapers must have something to talk about, but I think the Cuban question will be left for the Major to settle.” Officials of the war department deny without qualification the The demand for iron and steel has j story, published by a Chicago IMFORTANT INFORMATION FOR THOBK WHO RIDE THE RAILROADS.
