Maceb is too good a general to pnfc his 8,000 men against 85,000 of the eixemy lr. the open field, but he has got the best of every skirmish. "You may also sy for me that Weyler lies when he says that all the strategic points in Pinar del Rio are in his hands. It is not so. It is also untrue that nearly all of Macoaa loading men who were at all valuable or possessed of military abil ity have perished la the districts where they headed uprlsiugs. Weyler says that the Cubans have nothing to complain of in thn matter of. Soaaish tyranny. Well, the people of tho United States know bet tor.

The last time he took to thd field the only fighting he did was to kill about 1,500 womei and children and farmers, who were not lighting at alL AH this talk of Weyler's about chasing Maceo and his men from their strongholds is only talk.

General Weyler arrived safely at Mariel yeetertbvy, where he was received by the authorities and large crowds of people.

Pendleton, correspondent of a New York paper, was arrested here Thurs day night while upoti the point of em barking for the steamer Aranas. It is be lieved that his detention is due to the fact .that there was something wrong with his passports or other papers. The death of Perlco Delgado, the insur gent leader, In the Brujo mountains, has again been confirmed. He is said to have killed and wounded many soldiers of Wey ler's columns before dying. j u The friends of the insurgents insist that one :or two prisoners of war are shot every fifty outside of Cabanai fortress.

Secretary La- mont's report of the operations of the war department for the year 1896 show total expenditures aggregating $51,803,898,4, of which 113,505,088 was for pay of the army, 1 ,488,286 tr subsistence, $ 1,858.288 for regular qumrtermasters supplies, 820, i,zb for barracks and quarters, 12,321,727 for army transportation, $1,310,204 for cloth ing, S1.3$6,884 for ordnance, S2,867,4tH Icf seacoast defenses, flTjSt.wjO for; river ana harbor improvement, $3,133,181 for na tional "feoldiers' homes and $1,4:16,795 for salaries and contingencies in the war of fice at Washington. This last iteni shows a saving of $582,750 from the expenditure under the same bead for the year 1892. : t The acrereeate aDDroDriatious for thila department and turned back into the gen eral fund of the treasury at the end of the last fiscal year was $1,975,033. For. the year 1895 it was $1,764,467, and for 1894 it was $1,387,922, an aggregate for three years of more than $5,000,000. " Much of the report is devoted to a de tailed exhibit of the work accomplished and now under way on the coast defenses, as ordered in 18S5. On July i. 1893. of our modern defense but one high power gun was mounted. By July 1 next we will have in position seventy high power breech loadiug guns and ninety-five breech loading mortars of modern design, and by the following July, on the completion of work already under way or provided for,: 128 guns and 153 mortars.. A battery of two or three of these guns takes the place of tho former pretentious fort, and is vastly more effect ive. A 12-inch mortar requires a powder charge of 105 pounds, and throws a filled nroiectile weie-hine 800 nound3 over five miles." i The defenses now under consideration are distributed among the ports of Port land, Me. ; Portsmouth, N.. H, ; Boston, Narragansett Ty, eastern entrance to Long Island sound, eastern and southern entrance to New York, Philadelphia, Bal timore, Washington, Hampton Roads, Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, Key West, Pensacola, Mobile, New Orleans, Galveston, San Diego, San Francisco, the mouth of the Columbia river and Puget sound. ' : Secretary Lamont says his predecessors in office at the head of the war depart ment had, during many years, the difficult, task of 'arousing the public mind to a realization' of the national deficiencies in the matter, of coast defense. ':An the interest which has been awakened has crown deeper, successive congresses have made more liberal provision for the ac complishment of the accepted scheme. . The total amount appropriated for sea coast defenses,; including cost of sites, fortifications and armament since the adoption of the present scheme, is $26,457, 160.337 of which $9,350,000, or more than one-third, was carried by the act passed at the last session of congress. Therefore, in submitting the estimates for another year, he feels that it is no no longer necessary to . repeat the argu ments that have been' reiterated so jnany times. While earnestly inviting attention to the great work that yet remains to be done, it is also his fortune to have the more grateful duty of exhibiting the im portant results that have been actually accomplished, :as well as the splendid progress which is now being made to ward the early completion of the work. The armament of troops with the new magazine arms was completed in May, and the armory is turning out 125 rifles or carriages per day under the ' appropria tion made last year. All the ammunition for small arms now made is supplied with smokeless powder of 'American manufac ture and of satisfactory quality The total expenditures for river and harbor improvements ordered by congress during the y0ar ending June 30, 1896, in cluding those of the Mississippi and Mis souri river commissions, was $17,039,731.51.
