When asked about his proposed Washington trip he said: "I will leave for the capital Friday noon. One of the chief objects of my visit will be to urrange for the Inaugu ral ceremonies.

THE POPE DISPLEA9ED. lie Doe Not Like the Gessif Over Bishop Kcaae's Removal. Washington, Dec. 3. The flood of gossip, following the deposition of Htshop Keane from the rectorship of the Catholic University of America, appearing in the American newspapers has reached Home and has caused grave concern. This is shown by the unusual step taken by the cardinal secretary of atate in sending the fol lowing cablegram received this after noon at the apostolic legation here: Rome, Dec. 3. Monslanor Martlnelll, Apostolic Delegate, Washington. The Holy Father has learned with great sorrow or the agitation created in the United States by pretended correspond, nee and telegrams from Rome announc ing measures soon to be taken asatnst vmlaent American prelates and distin guished professors of the Catholic uni versity. Your xcsllncy will .authorita tively deny all such falsehoods, whluh aro the product of reprehensible machina tions. A Catholic churchman well versed with all the steps leading up to Bishop Keane's removal said tonight, that the action of the holy father In sending the cablegram above quoted, should put a stop to all further gossip oa the sub ject. It wao well understood, he said, In church circles, that Bishop Keane's removal wae brought about by Ger man ecclesiastic Influence and It was hoped by the same Influence that fur ther charges In the same direction and following the same lines would follow. While he deprecated sensational news paper talk, in this lnstance.lt seemed to him to have had an excellent effect, as It had reached the ears of Rome, which had called a halt on the assault being made bv the German ecclesiastics on the American party of the Catholic church In America. The American party, he said, had not lifted a finger to repel such aaaaults, nor had It sent tales to Rome, but simply abided Its time, with the result that the holy father had now taken the matter In his own band.

THE EXECUTION OF LOPEZ COLO MA .More of the Shocking Details Como to Llght'-Uenetal Wcjler's Part in the Atl'air-punish Scouts Unable to Locate the Lneniy at Pinar Del Rio. Key West. Fla., Dec. 3. Passengers who arrived from Havana last night report that Weyler's campaign in Pin ar Del Rio so far is a complete failure, despite the fact that he has sixty thou sand men In the province. When Wey ler left Artemisa he formed a conlumn of 10,000 infantry, 1.&00 cavalry and ten pieces of artillery and marched skirting the base of the hills on the southern side, and seeking an opening to attack Maceo, who Is strongly fortified on top of the hills. It appears that Maceo has gathered all his forces and Is now en trenched In the hills waiting Weyler's attack. There Is, It Is asserted, no truth In the report that Maceo has di vided his forces Into small bands to elude combats, and It Its further de clared that It Is known on authority that Wevler has no view of meeting Maceo. Gomes with a large force Is reported steadily advancing west, mov ing slowly on account of great impedi ments In the way of cannons, infantry, etc. He is now reported In Santa Clara province and it is said is coming with 20.000 men. There are more shocking details of Lopez's Coloma's execution. General Martlnes Campos. It Is said. Is indig nant at the injustice committed In exe cuting Coloma. Campos obtained the queen's pardon for Coloma and sent a telegram so advlslnb . The message ar rived at noon, but Weyler pocketed It, so report says, and ordered the exe cution to proceed and Coloma was shot at t p. m. There Is great Interest In Havana concerning President Cleveland's forth coming message and the action of con gress on the Cuban situation. The Spaniards and Cubans alike are anx iously awaiting results. THE QUEEN PRESIDES. Madrid, Dec. 3. The queen regent presided at a meeting of the cabinet council today at which Premier Cano vas announced the arrival of General Polavlejo, the new governor of the Philippines, at Manila. The premier also announced that the Insurgent lead er, Maceo, had disappeared from his position In the Cuban province of i .nar Del Rio and that the Spanish troops under General Weyler were pursuing him. Havana, Dec. 3. The expectation of Loyalists here is at a high point, they wishing to hear of a decisive defeat of the rebels in the province of Plnar Del Rio by the troops under command of Captain General Weyler. Since bin re turn to the front from Havana, gen eral Weyler has had no engagement with the Insurgents. In fact, the Span ish scouts have not been able to locate the enemy, and the position Is not known of a tingle one of the rebel par ties. 'The last teport received here s at ed that General Weyler and his forces were encamped near Los Palaclos. The condition of General Gonzales Munoz, who recently returned to Ha vana suffering with fever, has become worse, and fears are entertained that he will not recover. LIKE RATS IN A TRAP. Thrte Haadred Spaalards Shot Dowa by Cubioi'-Atiack Quanabtcea Mar Seriaui Tim Repsrtid. Havana, Dec. 3. The facts which are just leaking out In regard to the Insur gent attack on Uuanabacoa, on the out skirts of this city, on Tuesday last, show the affair to have been much more serious than at first stated. The Insurgents claim that Ouanubacoa was attacked by several bodies of Insur gents, while another Insurgent force fired upon the Spanish outpost at Uu earanas, on the coast. The garrlaon of the fort, It is added, left that place to rtaist the attack on tbt town, but was cut off between stone walls and farm fences by about 300 Insurgents, und. In spite of the gallant defense made, all the Spaniards were killed. The exact number of soldiers slain Is not known. It is admitted that a number of Insurgents were also killed; but, here again, the number is not stated. On the other hand, the Insurgents are said to have burned seventy-four hous es In Uuenabacoa, Instead of one houhe, as the official report of the affair stated. Turther details show that the fight ing began at 10.30 on Tuesday night. The Insurgents first fired upon the Ppanlsh outposts of the city and sub urbs, and. In s:ite of the prompt pre cautions taken by the military com mander and the fact that the local gar risons were almost immediately placed under arms to repel the Invader, the latter, after an hour's skirmish, broke through the Spanish picket lines, en tered the city and set fire to a large number of houses in Aguacate and Palo Blanco streets. These thoroughfares, as a rule, con tained private residences or cheap buildings occupied by refugees. Only one store of importance was burned. It Is said, although the Insurgents made many efforts to set fire to other stores. The local authorities are doing ev erything possible to conceal the real facts In the case, but there Is no doubt they have received a bad scare, and that the Insurgents have demonstrat ed that It would not be a very difficult matter, In spite of the reports of the military commanders, to create Just such another "scare" to my the least, tn the city of Havana itself. . WATERS OF CHIPPEWA. Thcr Are Still Creeping Toward the CityTroiihIc Abend. Chippewa Falls. Wis., Dec. 3. The waters of the Chippewa creep slowly into the city and the prospect of an early end of troubles is still remote. Th water extends half way to Cen tral street now, and all buildings that were occupied yesterday are Inundat ed. That portion of the town which It was expected would be the first to suf ferthe block on the bank of the creek between Spring and Central streets has escaped so far. and most of the 'business houses there continue to transact business, although It now ap pears that they will be forced to va cate in a short time. Colonel Jones, the government engineer, who Is here examining the situation, has few en couraging words to offer. He believes the gorge will not go out suddenly, but Is not yet prepared to say whether or not the dynamite can budge It. It Is believed he will not authorize such an attempt to be made. Up to 9 o'clock tonight 2.000 pounds of dynamite had been used on the gorge, but with little effect. To make matters worse a heavv snow storm has set in and more ice is forming. The people are panic strick en and men are asking each other where it will be. Ttusineas is demoral ized and the loss In the aggregate will reach fully $100,000. Reports from the farming country are distressing. Hun dreds are homeless, all their personal effects being swept away. The gov ernment will be asked tomorrow to send men to try and blow up the gorge. This Is believed to be the only hope now to save the entire city from being in undated. CYCLONE IN THE INDIES. Heavy Floods Also Cause Loss of Life and Property. Kingston. Jamaica, Dec. 3.

In Its Issue tomor row the Dally Chronicle will publish an article on the proposal of the Dally Telegraph to open a public subscription for the purpose of presenting a national Christmas gift to Ambassador Bayard. The Chronicle while admitting the Tel egraph's kindly motives and Mr. Bay ard's claim to reward, condemns the suggestion as Improper and opposed to diplomatic etiquette. The mere Idea, It says, is enough to bring cold per spiration to the brow of the most de serving diplomat. Mr. Bayard, however, much as he may appreciate the good will of the proposal cannot possibly accept such a gift. He will foresee that the propos ul will be ridiculsd in the United States as a Journalistic advertisement. , The Chronicle suggests that dis tinguished Englishmen give a banquet to Mr. Bayard to show the estimation in which he is held here.
