QUITS PARTY LEADERSHIP. Takaa With Both the E.trernlst* •nil Mr. tlladstooe and His Follow •re—Oreat Britain's Interest* All Nor Foaeo — Ml* Betlreroeat Irrevocable — Asquith I'ropable Murceeior. EniNiii'Rdn, Oct, 12.—Four thou sand people gathered in the Empire theater here last night to hear Lord Rosebery, the retiring leader of the Liberal par ty, explain his motive* in retiring. When he appeared the whole aitaem bly sang "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow." Lord Rosebery said that he had resigned because he could not sacrifice national Interests to personal ambi tion. lie welcomed the national agi tation in Oreat Britain on behalf of Armenia, because it would convince foreign governments of Oreat Hr t aln’s unselfish Integrity and would strengthen the hands of the govern ment, but the present agitation, Lord Rosebery pointed out, differed from Mr. Gladstone's Bulgarian agitation. In dculingwith the various remedies proposed for the settlement of the i urktsh question, the speaker Maid: "The mere deposition of the sultan would be uo remedy, as the system and not the mun must be tackled. More, this would lie impossible with out the concert of the powers, and if that were attained it would be better to call upon it to deal with the larger issue involved. The proposal )o withhold the Cyprus tribute is im practicable, as thin Is paid \o the sul tuu's creditors and not to the sultan, a* it would be llhe tickling the tor toise's back make ft laugh." Regarding the proposal to place the Dardanelles or Turkey In the hands of Russia, Lord Rosebery pointed out tliut neither of these was Great lirit ain's to dispose of, and Russia’s meth ods were not so ideal us to warrant lirittsh acquiescence. He also differed from Mr. Gladstone's proposal to cut off diplomatic relations with Turkey, but they differed, he added, as friends. A warm eulogy of Mr. Gladstone followed, but the ex-premier contin ued that he even deprecated the pro posal of such a thing, as it would not only deprive Great liritain of all tier influence with 1 urkey, but might drive it into war, and its failure would leave Great liritain in the same posi tion plus the public humiliation of confessing her impotence. Lord Rosebery also differed from Mr. Gladstone in his contention that Great liritain was bound in honor by the Cyprus convention to intervene "Peace,” Lord Rosebery affirmed, h "is a necessity of your empire. For the last twenty years you have been laying hands with frantic eagerness on every available and desirable tract of territory. The amount thua brought into your possession or sphere of influence in the last twelve years is -,500,000 square miles. This policy has produced two results—first the ex citing of an almost intolerable degree of envy in the other colonizing na tions, entailing their malevolence now instead of their benevolence; second, the making of an unwieldy empire, difficult to administer and to defend until a long period of peace effects its consolidation.” After reminding his audience how Cobden, bright and Gladstone had been publicly reviled for the advocacy of an unpopular peace policy, Lord lloseberry declared: "Although I am aware that it is unpopulor to advocate diplomatic methods. 1 shall never cease to exert my voice and strength against Kngland engaging in such a dangerous war, of which you can sec the eloquent commencement, but no bodv living can see the catastrophe or the end.” Unless his retirement should jro duce unity. Lord Roseberry said, the sacrifice would have been in vain. He advised them that whoever was chosen leader, they should support him loyally, for a united party be ! iimu aii luiemr icauer \vu» ufiu«r than a disgruntled party behind the beat leader, lie closed by thanking his colleagues for their kindness, and predicted that Mr. Asquith’s qualities of hesd auu heart would eventually lead him to the highest otlieuinthe state. Augusllue ltirretl, member of I'nr Huiueul for llte West division of Fife, tlieu moved a resolution requesting that Lord lloaeberry shouhl recon sider his n sigu.4tii.it This was car ried unanimously. Mr Asquith, in his speech, sup ported the resolution, declaring that Lord Itoseberry enjoyed the full con ildeuce of all ItU laic colleagues Lord Hose berry, replying said that Ins dec.stun to retire Mas the result of mature reflection amt Mas absolute and was taken under a conviction of ; necessity Siiwui UvnuHOii Sol Sllseal lsnt ss at-ui is.

BOLD AMAZONS IN CUBA. Daring Deeds of a Hand of Women l.«-d by an Avenging Senorlta Chicago, Oct. 12.—A special from Key West says: "Advices from liern edios tell of the gallant deeds of a band of Amazons beaded by Senorlta Martini Hernandez Perez. They are mounted and have been in the vicinity of Vticllas for acme time. Last Satur day afternoon Senorlta Perez, at the head of her band, dashed upon the town. Twelve Spanish soldiers at the gate were put to the machete. The Amazons then rode through the streets cutting down other Spanish soldiers who were lonnging in front of a cafe. In the plaza 200 Spaniards were charged. The Spaniards fired a volley, which killed three Amazons, and then fled to the barracks after losing eight of their number. A year ago Martinez's fiancee was a captain in bits < uimu ai iiijr, t/u nitci 11c wun captured and put to death by the (Spaniards, she vowed vengeance and organized her band, the members of which are sworn to never spare a (Spaniard.” FOR WEYLER’S RECALL. Conservatives In Cnba Demand a Chang* —Home Kale and Peace Possible. JS'kw Oiii.kans, La , Oct 12.—A spe cial cable to the Picayune from Ha vana says: "I have been reliably in formed and have seen a copy of a telegram sent by the (Spanish element, the Conservatives, against Oeneral Weyler, asking for his removal on the ground that his continuing in office means the sure loss of the island. The telegram farther recites the fact that a large part of the Cuban element will be willing to accept home rule If with it will be appointed another cap tain general. There is a positive as surance from friends here to the ef fect that General Martinez Campos is willing and anxious so return to Cuba, but that he will not come until he brings the home rule concessions with him. , ILLINOIS SILVERITES An Aggr •salve Campaign With Free Coinage Republican* Arranged.

Chicago, Oct 10—Last night Col onel Hubert G Ingersoll spoke for McKinley and the gold standard in a big tent to an uudience estimated at 20, 00. He said three great questions were at issue—currency, tariff and the question whether an appeal lay from the supreme court to a mob. As to the first question Colonel In gersoll said that money is a part of uuture and does not have to be re deemed, for it is the redeemer. Green backs arc not money, neither is a sil ver dollar containing less than a dol lar's worth of silver unless it be ex changeable for gold. It would take a dollar's worth of paper to make ft dollar on its own merits. The speak er said that coing money added no more to its value than meusuring to grain or weighing of coal.
