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.
General Echague, who was
wounded during the operations
under Weyler in Pinar del Rio, is
better.

SUIT Talk of War With Spain.
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.”
