Madrid , "Oct. 28. During yester
day's sitting of the Spanish chamber
3f deputies , which oroved sensational ,
Honor Komcroy Pobledo cleverly led
the minister of war.Genoral Weyler ,
to dellnc his attitude and intentions.
General Weyler declared that while
the wai In Cubit lusted his views were
totally distinct from those of the liberal -
oral party , but that when the war
was at an end the motion for separa
tion disappeared , and * ho saw nothing
to prevent him attaching himself tea
- el a liberal government. "I have al
ways faithfully observed discipline , "
he continued , "and he who talks of
dictatorship is the enemy of disci-
pjjne. Our recent maneuvers have
pioved that gqod feeling exists be
tween the people and the army. As
fcr dictatorship , no one thinks of
such a thing. Dictators ate the off-
.spring of circumstances.
"For myself 1 may say this : 1 have
never thought , of being one , nor do I
now. Nevertheless. If my aid were
asked at a moment of gravity I do not
know how I'should decide between
my political and military duties , but
1 should always incline toward the
latter. "
Loud aud prolonged uproar inter
rupted the minister of war , and sev
eral of hisiuiiiisteiial colleagues were
unable to restrain expression of sur
prise. at his words ,
"Lain a political ! and a liberal , "
he assumed , "but before all 1 a , .1 a
soldier , and if it should become nec
essary , 1 will defend our Institutions
and parliament. "
Siinor "Uomcro rejoined : "I will
take note of the declarations of the
minister of war on the subject of a
dictatorship. ' *
General Wcylcr's speech largely oc
cupies public attention In view of
the possibilities that he may become
premier if Scnor Sagasla , whoso
health is indilVetent , should Hnd it
necessary to retire.
131 Imparcial remarks that : "A
dark cloud enshrouds General Weyler

conservative leader , for advocating
an alliance between Spain and France ,

prudent' and dangerous , as tending to

will shortly resign the premiership ,
owing to ill health.

WASAINUTON , D. C. , Nov. 2. The
cabinet today discussed the abrogation
of the so-called Browning Indian
a heel ruling , but no further action
was taken. Secretary Hitchcock ex
plained the situation and said that if
the abrogation proved to be a disad
vantage to the Indian children or
detrimental to their best interests he
would recall it and re-establish the ,
Browning ruling , which was 'made
September 'M , IHMi , and directed that'
Indian agents tlrst .should . build up ,
and maintain the government In the
Indian school s and declared that the
Indian parents have no right to desig
nate which school their children shall
attend. "
"In a particular case , however , " ac
cording this ruling , where you ( the
agents ) think it advisable to follow
the wishes or the parents , that is left
entirely to your own good judgment. "
The abrogation of the ruling a'ready '
has caused numerous inquiries of the
interior department. The bureau of
Catholic missions has been- lighting
for the abrogation over since the rul
ing was made. Commissioner of In
dian Affairs Jones has strenuously op
posed the abrogation , but finally , after
a full dlscMaslon with Secretary 11 Itch-
coik , agreed to abrogate it tentative
ly , with the distinct understanding
that it could be re-established if found
to bo in the Indians' best interests
and if the action was in accordance
with the wishes and directions of * the
secretary. _

Constantinople. Nov. 2. The case
of Miss Stone today became more ser
ious. The brigands , it appears , arc
still holding out for the 2f > ,000 pounds
sterling ransom and it is feared that
should they persist in their demand ,
Miss Stone will have to he sacrificed-
Nevertheless the negotiations are still
proceeding. Anxiety prevails at the
United States legation this evening ,
whence there has been an active ex
change of telegrams between Secre
tary Spencer Eddy and various joints.
Mr. Eddy today had a long confer
ence with Sir Nicholas 11. O'Connor ,
the British ambassador here , who is
actively assisting in the efforts to
bring about Miss Stone's release.
Sotla , Nov. 2. The best method of
tramsmittlny : the ransom demanded
by the brigands for the release of Miss
Ellen M. Stone , the abducted Ameri
can missionary , and of assuring the
safety of the captives are the mutters
now engaging the attention of Sama-
kov missionaries , who are negotiating
w. th the kidnappers. It is felt that
unusual precautions are necessary in
order to safeguard Miss Stone and tun
others , as there undoubtedly is'danger
that the captives will be murdered
after the ransom is paid.

Aubura , Oct. 2 . Ozolfosa held his
last two Interview ! last night , the
first with Superintendent Collins and
the second with his brother and
brother-ln Ijw. Hoth of the Inter
views were lirlefand the interviewers
did most ) of the talking until the
question of religion was mentioned ,
when Ciulgim broke from his geem-
Ing lethargy and violently denied the
church and the clergy and made his
relatives promise that them should
be no service for him , living or dead.
Prior to the lute evening Inter
views Czolgosz reluctantly received
Fathers Fudzlniki and Hickey. It
was late in the afternoon and occur
red after he had once refused to meet
i.hcm. When they reached the prison
Superintendent Collins conveyed tha
request for an Interview to the priso
ner. Crolgosz sent back word that he
did not care to s ee them , but the
priests asked to see him despite hh
refusa ) . Superintendent Collins con-
Rented and he escorted them to the
cell. The priest * remained with
CzolgosK for three-quarters of an hwtf
and earnestly pleaded with the priso
ner to repent and pray for divine for
giveness. He rejected all their ad
vances , however , and they regretfully
withdrew. They ; told tha prisoner
they would hold themselves In readi
ness to answer * call from him at any
time of the night. It was 7 o'clock
when Superintendent Colllru went
Into the death house and tried to get
the prisoner to talk to hltu. Al
though he remained in the cell somt
time he WHS apparently not success-
fi ! in getting anything material
fmm him.
KINAMXTKKVIKW WITH IWOTHttlU
At 8 o'clock Mie brother and broth
er-in-law arrived and .Superintendent
Collins took them down to the con
demned man's cell. There was no
demonstration when they met. C/.ol-
go : : ? merely stopped to the f rout of
hi ; steel cage and said :
"Hello. "
The brother ventured to remark :
" 1 wish you would tell us , Leon ,
who got , you into this aorape. "
The assassin answered In a slow ,
hesitating manner :
"No one ; nobody had anything to
do with it hut me. "
"That is not , how you were brought
up , " said the brother , "nnd you
ought to tell us everything now. "
"I haven't got anything to tell , "
lie answered in a surly manner.
"Do you want to s.co the priests
again ? " asked his brother , and be
answered with more vehemence than
ho had previously shown :
"No , damn them , don't send them
here again : I don't want them. "
The brothcr-ln-law interjected
h..re :
"That's right , Leon. "
The brother looked rather disturb
ed by the answer. Then stepping up
close to the by IR the condemned man
"And don't you have any praying
over me when I dead. I don't , want
it : 1 don't want any of their damned
religion. "
ASKS 'IO SEK THE KXKCUTIOH.
There was a painful pause of a few
minutes and then the relatives re-
8'iincd ' casual comcrsatlon with him ,
to which he replied in monosyllables
.until . the brother-in-law suggested ,
much to Superintendent Collins' sur
prise , that he and the brother be
permitted to witness the execution.
Before Superintendent Collins could
reply Lao * Or/.lgfw said :
Yes , Me. Superintendent , lefc
t 'em ' sre me killed. "
Superintendent Collins told the
trio in taiphatir terms < ; liat no such
things could be allowed and ordered
them to say goodbye.
Ozolemz walked to the back of his
cell , sat down on the edge of his cot
and did not answer the hut faro well.

Plorce , Oct. 31.-George Fetterly ,
who has been buying stock around
here for Norfolk parties , was shot
and Instantly killed by Christian
Puer , who lives sovcn miles south of
Pierce , near Hadnr. Fetterly and a
friend had been in I'i < me : during the
evening , and Imbibed , It Is alleged ,
n good deal of whisky , and rode out
of town shooting as thcyjflont.
It Is claimed that on arriving at
Ducr's place Pottorly got out and
went Into Dtier's barn. It caused
liner's dog to bark , and Duor , think
ing It must he some of the neighbors ,
got up and wont out of doors'nnd
called. Not getting an answer and
the dog still barking Duer concluded
things were not right and , went jo
the hoime and procured a gun and
started towards the barn. On near-
Inn It Fetterly ran out with a bridle
on his arm , nnd when Jucr called on
him to halt he turned and fired a
shot at him. The charge came very
near Dtier's shoulder. Ho concluded
It best not to take any chances , and
took deliberate aim and fired twice. )
The first charge struck r Fetterly
above the eye , killing him Instantly ,
Duer being about forty-four fcot
from Fetterly when he flred. Fetter-
ly's friend drove up shortly after
wards and throw up his hands , but
Duer told him to > bo gone , which ho
did in short order.
Duer , accompanied by Fred Leli
man , came to Pierce early this morn
ing. Coroner Nye of Plalnvlew , was
telegraphed for , also Sheriff Hash ,
who was out of town. The coroner ,
sheriff and jury went down to the
n'acc this afternoon and verltlcd tha
f icts as to the remains , after which ,
accompanied by the witnesses , they
came back to Pierce , where the wit
nesses were examined in the court
house.

Washington , Oct. III. The annual
report of Inspector General , F. O.I
Brcckenridge says tlmt while tfojore
reports of harmony and good will
among the. officers of the army , the
expression "All officers are thorougl -
ly instructed and eftlclent , " Is not'
h -ard so frequently as before the
Spanish war , due. no doubt , to an
Influx of young and inexperienced
o 'leers. Most reports , however , are
tavorablu. Some lack of attention
given by ofllcerK to their dally life
and duties Is noted. The report com
mends the sagacity and ability of
olllcers who have conducted civil
HlTairs Intrusted to them abroad.
The class of recruits received Is re
ported gel/orally / up to the standard.
The discipline of the troops is re
ported generally good.
-Of the post exchange the Inspector
general says :
"The reports slmw that wherever
practical post exchanges were in
operation at the garrl oncd posts at
times of the inspectors' visits , the
prescribed rules and regulations were
being fully compiled with , and that
their business was generally being
satisfactorily conducted. A majority
of tluj posts at which exchanges are
maintained were Inspected before the
law prohibiting the sale of beer in
the canteens were enacted , and most
of the reports would -not show the
effect of the law upon them.
At some of the posts inspected
since it was repotted that the ex
change was closed , as It wan being
operated at a loss after the sale ol
beer was ptohlbltod , while at others
the operations under existing law
were Ktated to be unsatisfactory.
The sentiment of the snny on the
subject is well known , and isjglven
*
expression in the following remarks
of inspectors general : ,
"Colonel Burton ( Cuba ) says ; 'Otn-
cers generally complain that the
elimination of beer has worked !
hardship on the soldier and has been
dctilmcntal to good oidcr and mill
tary discipline. "

full current was kept on , and then
ov7i7 the electrician threw the
switch back , reducing the current' '
volt by volt , until It was cut off en
tirely. Then , Just as it had reached
that point ho threw the lover back
again for two or thrco seconds. The ,
body , which had collapsed as the cur-i
rent wan reduced , stiffened up again
ngainat , the straps. When it was
turned off again Dr. MacDonald1
stepped to the chair and put his hand ,
over his heart. Ho said ho felt no
pulsation , but suggested that the ,
current be turned on for a few seconds
ends again. Once more the body be
came rigid. At 7:15 : the current WM (
turned off for good. jl
From the tlino Czolgosz left his cell
until the full penalty was paid lew
than four mlnutea elapsed. The
physicians present used the stetho
scope and other teats to determine ifi
any life remained , and at 7:17 : the
warden , raising his band , announced ! ,
"Gentlemen , the prisoner Is dead. ' "
The witnesses tiled from the chain-
bar , many of thorn visibly affected , ,
and the body was taken from tha
chair and laid on the operating table.
"I have decided , said the superln- .
tendent , to bury the body of Czolgoss
In the regular prison lot in the loca *
cemetery. The funeral will taki
place Bema time within tbo next
forty-eight hours. We will Keep the
grave guarded day and night until
such tlmo as the quicklime which
will bo placed around the body shall
have entirely destroyed it. " \
Electrician Davis made this state
ment as to the execution : \
"I uied 1,700 volts of electricity ,
turning It Into the body at full volt *
age for even seconds and then slowly
reducing it for forty-five seconds.
Then I throw the full voltage o
again for eight seconds. Thou , at the
suggestion of Dr. Mao Donald , I turn
ed it on again for a few seconds. I
did not think there wag any necessity
for the third contact and the lack of
resistance shown when It as adminis
tered proved Hght ampere * of reslifc-
ane * .
