HIS GOOD-BY TO CUBA.
WEYLER SPEAKS AND IS
SUES A MANIFESTO,
The Nhtitllng Down of Mncnr (Irlndlng
and Concentration nf Tropin In Cltlee
Offended rnrlllrnllaii nf Several Prov
inces Claimed.
Havana. Nov. I. Captain Gcnoral
Weyler Just prior to Ms embarkation
for Spain addressed tliu assembled
crowxls gathered in hit honor. In tho
courso of Ills acknowledgments of
their "sympathetic references to his
approaching withdrawal," he said that
ho fully understood that tholr praise
vas for his policy and not for himself.
Hodeclarcd that he had always done
till duty In accordance with hit cunso
of patriotism and that ho would loavo
Cuba with n olenr conscience, lie had
never cared, ho said, for the crltleUtn
of tho sympathizers of the rebellion,
beeuuso hi' had always felt assured of
"the real kindness and wisdom of his
policy."
Weyler said that his temporary pro
hibition in connection with the lust
sugar crop was only lutendeil to pre
vent the rebel from raising a loan In
Iho United States. Ho had always
been In favor of grinding, us was after
ward done. So far as tho order of
concentration was concerned an
order which had been the subject of
much ceusuro by some, It wns re
quested by all Spaniards In Cuba lrom
the very outset He did not decide to
put It in force Immediately, preferlng
to wait a more favorable opportunity;
but the results of the concentration
policy, once put Into force, had been
"very unfavorable to the national in
terests."' "My release from my post and re
iponslbitltles," Weyler went on, "did
not surprise inc. 1 had expected It
from the death of Senor Canovus, not
believing that any political leader
would be strong enough to sustain me
when the United States uud tho rebels
wero together constantly demanding
that Spain should come to a settle
ment. As for the future, I offer my
self and shall always hold myself in
readiness to serve the party alining to
retain Cuba for Spain."
Qoneral Weyler Issued the following
proclamation to tho inhabitants of the
Island: "More accustomed to tho in
clemency of tho camp than to the en
ervating pleasures of tho parlor, I am
rude and concise. You all know the
state of the island when I arrlvod and
you aro convinced that shortly peace
will be re-established in the island,
extending the nlready excellent influ
ence that dominates In tho provinces
of Havana, Plnar dol Hio, Matanzas
and Santa Clara up to tho Jucaro
trocha. The sugar estates are pre
paring for grinding. Tho i-iUroads
are In good condition for passengers
and merchandise, and the country can
be traveled without ambuscudes, while
Incendiarism has been stopped. To
reach this stage I have been compelled
to resort to rigorous measures, but I
have always offered pardon in the
name of the generous Spanish to her
unnatural sons. I leave the rebellion
so reduced as to guarantee Spanish
sovereignty, uud only by artful means
and by a duplicity unworthy of Span
iards will the euemlusof Spulu bo nblo
to imperil It."

PARTY LEADERS AT SEA.
Mr. George' Death Complicate MHttrri-
OiliU on Van Wyrk do Up.
New Yoiik, Nov. 1. Political lead
ers nro all at sea to-day as to the prob
able political effect of tho untimely
death of Honry (leorgo, and, though
the managers of cuoh of the parties
are making claims for tho great mass
of voters whom Mr Georgo s demise,
It is conceded, .will cruise to desert tho
Jefferson Democracy, no ono really
credits the claims, no matter how
moderate. . In fact, all is more uncer
tain now tlinti ever.
Thero seems reason tobellevc, never
theless, that many thousands it is
Impossible in tho present chaotic situ
ation to oven estimate tho number
will voto for Seth Low, Citizens' union
nominee, because lie, far more than
Mr. lieorgo's son, represents the great
spirit of opposition to bosslsm.
Tammany is making many loud
claims that thousands of Democratic
voters who wero attracted to Mr.
George, partly by his personality and
partly because ho was belioved to rep
resent W. J. llrynn more nearly than
Van Wyclc, will return to their old nt
lcgiauce and vote for Van Wyclc next
Tuesday. Against this, however, it is
pointed out that Van Wyek no more
nearly tills the requirements of these
voters novr than before Mr. George's
douth, nun thCre are many who be
lieve Unit thousands of Mich voters
will stay at home rather than sup
port Tnmmnny.
Whatever force there mav be in all
this, it Is a fact that in the betting
Van Wyek bus gained more than Low
by the newer conditions. The latest
quotations are as follows: Van Wyclc
vs. the lle!d. .1 to3; Vun Wyek vs. Low,
14 to .,; Vim Wyek vs. Tracy, 7 to 1;
Low vs. Tracy, V to 1. '
Hamlin Garland, the chairmnn ol
the Georgo funeral committee, said to
day thut the body of the dead leadci
would be taken to the Grand Central
palace sometime this evening. The
service will be non-secturlnu, he said,
although there possibly will be soma
ofllcialing clergy iiiun. One oj these
very probably will be the He v. Dr. Kd
ward McGlynn. Dr. McGlynn will
not tttteud tho service as a priest, but
us a ciueii
and friend
of the dead j
man.
The funeral car will start from the
Grand Central palace at 7 o'clock on
Sunday evening ami proceed via the
Hrnoklyn bridge to the llrooklyn city
hall.
From the llrooklyn city hall the
body will be escorted as far as the
homo of Mr. George at Fort Hamil
ton. Thero the bod- will remain
until Monday 'afternoon when the in
terment will be made in Greenwood
cemetery in a grave alongside of Mr.
Georgo's dead daughter, Mrs. Atkin

TAMMANY LEADERS.
lUllutn Thar Wilt list it Lance I'urt or
the lleorgtdte.
Nkw Yoiik, Nov. 1. Tho practical
politicians are all bald to agree that
the huge Democracy of Thomas Jef
ferson, built up by Henry George in
three weeks, will not bo a principal
factor in next Tuesday's election. It
was generally estimated that lie would
have polled more thnn 100,01)0 votes If
lie liiul survived the campaign, but
these votes are probably not transfer
able. Some of the leaders wero In
favor of throwing tho Influence of the
organization to Seth Low, but the
campaign committee decided not to
give up the light, and nominated
young Henry Georgo to take Ills fath
er's place. They also Issued a strong
nddres to the Georgo voters asking
tlium to support the substitute. Young
George has none of his futiior's ability
us a campaigner antt orgaulzor and Is
not well known.
The Tnmmnny lenders have regained
their coulldence that was shaken by
Henry (Jeorge's extraordinary canvass
during the past week. They have
called in tholr aull-Gcorgo literature,
silenced their anti-George speakers,
aro mourning publicly for George as u
good man and a Democrat, and hope,
with good reuson, to get the greater
part of his voto, Seth Low will proba
bly got a kinnller share, a few thous
and voters will probably stick to
young George, nud ns tho Tracy lead
ers hero said all along that thero were
no stralghtout Republicans in the
Georgo ranks, they probably expect
nothing.

Sugar llert fmliMtry.
Wasiiinoto.v, Nov. 1. Secretary
Wilson presented his report to the
president yesterday, reviewing tlio op
erations of the department of agri
culture for the past year. Tho most
important recommendation made by
li I tn was one that agents for the de
partment should be stationed at each
of tho inoro important embassies for
the collection of information of inter
est to American farmers.
Tho secretary recommends an in
crease In the appropriations In nld of
a bureau of nniintil Industry, of tho
weather bureau and publication olll
ccs. He thinks tho department should
bo enabled to plnco tho result of Im
portant, operations at agricultural col
leges before tho entire country, "so
that tho farmers of each state may
got tho result of tho good work done
In othor stntcs."'
Mr. Wilson says the department will
continue its pioneer work In the on
courngoment of tho sugar boot nnd
expresses the opinion thut the coun
try will within u few years raise
all tho sugar that it requires. He
oxprobses the opinion that nearly ail
of the S:i82,()00,000 sent abroad last
year for sugar, hides, fruits, wines,
animals, rice, tla.v, hemr, cheese,
wheat, barley, beans, eggs and
silk might linvo been kept at
home. He also thinks tho United
States should grow their own chicory,
castor beans, lavender, licorie, mus
tard, opium, etc.
With references to horses, the sec
retary says: "Tho American fanner
can grow horses as cheaply as ho
can grow cattle; wo have, a heuvy
and profitable export trade in cattle
and may have an export trade
oqually heavy and protitable In
horses. Tho department is gathering
facts regarding our horse industry at
home, and tho requirements of pur
chasers abroad, so that our farmers
can learn what foreign buyers de
mand." Tho Secretary criticises tho present
system of crop reporting. He strongly
favors the making of some pecu

INDIANS ON WARPATH.

to Trouulu.
Dknvkii, Cola. Nov. 1. The game
Warden's office to-day received tho fol
lowing dispatch, dated October 2S,
from Gu me Warden Little, nt Meeker:
"Indians reported gathering in large
numbers on tho Colorado side of the
Itlue mountains. Settlers greatly
alarmed. Affairs look verv threaten
ing." Immediately upon tho receipt of the
dispatch, Governor Adams called upon
General Otis, and held a consultation
on what to do in tho emergency.
From tho tenor of tho dispatch, it ap
pears that tho Utes left in Utah are
rustling eastward to the assistance ol
their brethren.
At first tho accounts received from
tho Uto outbreak wore confusing nud
tended to show that tho wardens were
tired upon by tho Indians. Later de
velopments, however, go to show that
the.garao wardens wero the aggres
sors. '

Liiikiitv, Mo., Nov. 1. William Carr
and Hetty Carr, his wife, wero ar-
raigned in Liberty yesterday forenoon
liofore Justice of tho Peace M. li Law
son to answer to tho charge of mur
dering tholr 3-year-old child, Hetty
Carr.
Carr pleaded guilty and ills wife uot
guilty. Carr was at once committed
to jail, a preliminary hearing in his
caso being unnecessary.
Mrs. Carr was anxious for a trial at
once, but the stato was uot ready, and
her case was continued until next
Wednesday, November 4, when the
grand jury will investigate the charge
against her. She was released under
55,000 bonds, her father, J. J. Hrost,
Sr., and A. J. Stephens becoming her
surety.
The feeling against Cnrr and his
wlfo in nnd about Liberty is veryiblt
tcr, and thoro Is strong talk of lynch
ing, but whether or not this sentiment
will crystallize into degnlte action
jnly time can tell.

.Omaha, Nob., Nov. :. Tho Union
Paclile railroad proper, including the
buildings nnd all thut goes to operate
tho system, was sold tills morning at
the freight depot to the rcorgau
Izntlon committee of the road
for853,.V.,S,fi32.7iJ. This amount docs
not Ineliidu the sinking fund in tho
hands of the government, nnd taking
tills t bo 54,030,400, the amount stated
lu the government decree covering the
alo of the road, the total paid for tho
property was SW.rdM.H.TJO. There
wero no other bidders, and the road
went to the reorganization committee
without uny opposition.
The sale of the road was in itself
one of the tnmest and least exciting
performances possible to linnglne. It
was advertised to tnko place in front
of tho Union Pacific depot at the junc
tion of Ninth tin (I Jones iitrects tit It
o'clock, and it was just one mlnuto
ufter that time when Master-In-Chancery
Cornish, who was to act as
auctioneer, took ills place on the low
stone step In frout of the Ninth street
o ate ran co to begin tho sale. For over
half an hour a crowd had been gath
ering to witness the sale, and It win
only with great difficulty that Mr.
Cornish was able to get sufllclent
room to enable him to work. He
finally stood into the corner of the
doorway, with ono shoulder ugalnst
the door and the other ngalnst the
brick wall nnd prepared for business.
Tho crowd was packed so closely
around tho doorway and up in front
of the center of the building that tho
members of the reorganization com
mittee, tho men who came out to bli
the road, were unable to sco anything
or hear a word of what was going on.
Tkey wero compelled to stand back lu
tho hallway, from which one of them
would occasionally poko out tils face,
Just to see thut all was well. Packed
Into tho hall, leaning against tho ban
nisters, Kitting upon the stnirs or
itandlng in the center of the ttoor
were ull the members of the commit
tee. Receiver Miuk was in an upper
window, watching tho proceedings
below.
Mr. Cornish carried under his arm a
Inrge portfolio bound with tho regula
tion red tape, and as soon as tho crowd
gave him room to extend his arms, he
untied tho strings and drew fortli a
number of papers. Selecting one of
these he replaced the others and hold
ing it out, he said: "Gentlemen, I am
here to sell certain railroad properties
la pursuance of u decree of the United
State circuit court I will now read
tho description of the property to bu
old, and when I have finished the
reading I will be prepured to receive
bids."
Mr. Cornish then unfolded the no
tice of sale, which occupld about four
colifmns of agato type. Then, saying
"Tiiis uotico is so long, gentlemen,
that 1 will not attempt to read it st.
that all of you can hear it," ho read
ts rapidly as possible. His volcogrew
weaker an lie read, and linally it be
came nothing but tin unintelligible
mum bio that was uot distinguishable
three feet distant. Closo to his loft
hand btood Lawrence Greer with a
copy of tho notice in his hand, nnd he
followed tho reading of tho master-in-chancery
very closely.

ties nnd by commissioners represent
ing the various political parties, and
then proceoded to tho hall of confer
ences, where, In accordance with the
ritual and ceremonies customary on
such occasions, lie took the oath of
fidelity to Spain.
Tho marshal then issued tlio follow
ing proclamation to tho inhabitants
of Cuba: "1 am again among you with
good will and a sincere doslre to servo
tho general welfare atid to estab
lish a lasting pence. I shall follow a
broad policy In my endeavor to
restore fraternity among all of Cuba's
Inhabitants. I am sincere In my in
tentions to inaugurate a new govern

he to secure and prescrvo peace. I
hope you will all salute and embrace
tho Spanish flag, throwing aside all
party prejudices and discarding alli
ance with those who are staining the
country with blood. Clemency nwalts
all who observe the luws, but, how
ever regrettable it may be, l shall
rigorously light those who obstinately
or ungratefully continue to curry on

The following proclamation has

who, lu two years of hard campaign,

currence of tho whole country,
which will unhesitatingly side with

bring their complete destruction. Let
thero be war, therefore, on the stub
born enemies of tlio Spanish people
and protection for those who seek the
clemency of Spain."
There is no reference- to autonomy
in either proclamation, and both have
produced ti bad effect among all sym
pathizers with the insurrection.
Marshal Blanco, when formally as
suming his now functions at tlio pal
aco, said to the deputations of the
Conservative, Autonomist and Reform
ist partlc.i, that lu order to obtain

be necessary for all political parties
to unite. To the military deputations
lie said that he would answer war by

proclamation In that respect He mado
no overtures of autonomy.
EULOGIES UPON GEORGE.

Nkw Yohk, Nov. 2. A mourning
city, a grlef-strlcken people, yester
day showed honor to the man who had
fallen in the battle for what he be
lieved to bo the right. Henry George,
apostle of the single tax, leader of the
new Jeffersoulaii Democracy, stricken
on the eve of election, was honored as
no private citizen of .America was ever
honored before.
Public griefs have been many in
this great metropolis of tho West
ern hemisphere; many have been
.sincerely mourned, but none, save
he who went to tho eternal rost
after having served his people as a
leader of soldiers and as chief execu
tive of the laud, hud laid tit his bier
such evidences of public grief, wide
spread sorrow und sincere grief, ns
was laid at the bier of Henry George
No one would permit a reminder that
ho hail been a candldato for public
office and had been carrying on a bit
ter wnrfnro on thoe ho believed wero
enemies of the public weul; no one re
called the strong words of denuncia
tion that fell from ills lips whllo on
the political rostrum; he wns remem
bered only as a man who so loved tho
people that he gave his life for thorn.
In the vast auditorium whero the
dead rested, Inspired men, teachers ot
all faiths, Jewt, Christians, Catholics
and Kpiscopallans, with hearts wrung
with pain, spnko words which con
fessedly fell fur short of ttie great
waves of emotion thut sought to find
utterance. Not a dissenting voice
was heard to the declaration that
Henry George was a lover of the peo
ple, who lie believed were being op
pressed, and that he gave his life that
humanity might live.
The eulogies uttered, the day gone,
the streets becamo filled with people
who wished to soe tho funeral cortege

New York's greatest streets, thence
across Brooklyn bridge and through
