Textile and leather demand falters, wool strong, cotton prices slip, and general markets show weaker wheat and flour with shrinking exports. treasury deficit widens and money supply tightens amid large gold receipts and lower bank lending.

Where is Weyler in Havana News Cites Silence on Captain General
In Havana on December 5, residents still know nothing definite about General Weyler or his position after marching toward Los Palacios. Authorities claim only that he follows the prewar campaign plan, while rumors of movements persist amid reports of clashes near Pinar del Rio and encounters with rebels elsewhere. A rebel party attacking Fort Bazen was repulsed with several killed and wounded on both sides, and Corto Torto claims a Spanish victory near Havana with casualties on the rebel side. The Matanzas court orders Oscar Cespedes, an American captured in the field, to stand trial before a military tribunal. In Boston news, the Cunard ship Servia set a new Queenstown to Boston record, making the voyage in six days, fourteen hours, and eight minutes.
