NEW YORK , Nov. 25. The officers of the
etcamcr City of Washington , which arrived
toilny from Havana , say that Havana la In
the worst possible Mate of alarm. Tlio resi
dents arc momentarily expecting an attack
by the Insurgents. The prisons are full ,
business Is at a standstill anil merchants of
Spanish Ideas arc preparing to leave the
country. J. W. Brown , an Englishman re
cently released from a Cuban prison , where
ho spent a month for shouting In the streets
of Havana "Cuba llbre , " and who was cx-
rolled a week ago by order of Captain Gen
eral Weylor , was ono of the passengers.
Drown said his treatment by the Spanish
authorities was brutal In the extreme , and
that If he had not had papcra proving him
to bo a British mibjcct he would have been
shot or would ntlll bo In a Spanish jail.
He had been four years In Havana and Is
now on his way home.
"Cuba , In my mind , Is lost to Spain. The
latter country Is now on her beam ends and
the storm on the little Island will soon cn-
gulf her , " he said.
Urown declared no political prlsonora In
Cuba knew what they wcro arrested for un-
tl 4hcy had been In prison BOIIIO time. As
* i-tu lite own case , he docs not remember hav
ing given the Spaniards any Just cause for
his arrest.
"Lot mo tell you something of Wcyler's
system , " he said. "Honorc lvalue was cap
tured by Oencral Maceo of the Cuban army"
about nine months ago. Ho was detained
but a few days. After his liberation Lalno
returned to his homo In Havana. Later ho
was arrested at the Instigation of n personal
enemy , a particular friend of Wcylcr. Sev
eral months after his arrest he was tried
before a Jury compose * ! of Wcyler's own
crcaturcfi and declared Innocent. Did that
make any difference ? Not a bit. Ho Is
still held a prisoner and his case has been
referred to Madrid. Weylcr showed his dls-
plcasuro toward the court that declared
Lalne Innocent by sending Its mincers Into
the field as a punishment. Mr. Lalno Is a
Frenchman and Is trying to call his case
to the attention of the French govern
ment.
"Wcylcr has had many foreigners ar
rested. Ho detests them. Most of these
prisoners have never seen the light of day.
Finally they drop out of sight ; It saves the
cost of trial. The poor Cuban guts short
shift. It Is suniclcnt to know that
he Is a sympathizer In the cause. That
Is his death warrant. "
Mr. Brown related many Instances or
cruelty by the Spaniards.
Dr. Taylor , another passenger , says that
Spain's cause Is lost and that General Wey-
ler has 30,000 sick soldiers on his hands.
CINCINNATI. Nov. 25. A special to the
Commercial-Tribune from Jacksonville , Fla. ,
Bays : Private cablegrams to Cuban leaders
hero from Havana tonight state that Gomez
Is moving Havanaword , and It Is rumored
ho and Maceo will soon make a concerted
attack on Havana. This , Increases the gen
eral alarm and distrust In the city , and
Wcyler's palace Is bcsclged with throngs
after Informatlcn , of which very llttlo Is
vouchsafed the public. The governor gen
eral contents himself with general hints and
statements of what he will do/after Christ
mas.
mas.A rumor prevails at Havana this evening
that some of Macco'a forces have met a
portion of Woyler's army at Maryl and that
the Spanish loss Is heavy. It cannot bo
confirmed tonight. Sounds of sharp firing
or dynamiting wcro heard thla evening east
ward of the city , supposedly caused by
guerrilla warfare.
TIIUTII IN WISVIiUH'S IlECAM , .
Premier ilel Castillo Deiilex Some of
the StorleH III Clreiiliitlon.
MADRID , Nov. 25. The premier , Senor
Canovas del Castillo , was questioned today
on the subject of the contradictory reports
circulated as a result of the unexpected re
turn of the captain general of Cuba to Havana -
vana from Plnar del Rio , where ho had been
personally conducting the operations of the
Spanish troops against Maeco's Insurgents.
The Spanish premier said in substance , that
there was no truth In the report that Gen
eral Weylcr bad been recalled and It was
equally untrue that his recall was contem
plated. On the contrary , ho added , the
government had given General Weyler a free
hand In the task of suppressing the Insur
rection and the mlnlstcro had confidence ho
would be successful.
HAVANA , Nov. 25. The report of the
death of Sjrafln Sanchez , the Insurgent
lender , appears to be fully confirmed. Al-
vlccs from Santa Splrltus , province ot Santa
Clara , say his family has gone Into mourn
ing. Captain General Weyler has tele
graphed to General Arlo , saying ho Is satis-
tied with his activity and that of the troops
In the defense of the military line , adding
that the step answers his wishes In every re
spect. At Chlvos , province of Matanzas , the
Insurgents recently kidnaped n well known
resident named Maurlclo Suarez and his
ransom not being procurable the man was
lianged.
Antonio Lopez Collmn , who was the first
Incurgcnt leader to rlw In Mntanzns , will
b ( > Mint tomorrow In the Cubonns fortress.
The statement made In London that an
nrmlstlco was probable In Cuba Is ridiculed
here. The Associated press In authorized
to state that Captain General Wcylor will
In no event commend the Idea of a truce ,
moro especially at the present time. Not
does ho bcllevo that the homo government
will entertain any such proposition , whether
raining from Interested parties or out-
elders.
Thu story published In New York to the
effect that there had been a rupture be
tween We-ylcr and the Spanish residents
Is pronounced from official sources to bo
a fabrication. No dUpatch has over been
bent from Havana asking for Weyler's ro-
ttrcment. Captain General Woylcr has
neither been asked to resign nor la General
1'andn expected In Havana to rellavo him ,
H Is pointed out that tbo Spanish sym
pathizers are not losing confldvnro and that ,
on the contrary , their enthusiasm In In
creasing , as shown by the quick response
to Woyler's call for volunteers for aetho
service.
The battalion Infantile , consisting of 248
boys , has been onlUtcd by thu marquis of
Apcztegula.
A largo number ot persons conferred with
Captain General Weylcr today to request
lilm to allow them to gather the sugar
cron.
Twenty nmnigoes have been liberated ana
seventy-four others aru to bo sent to penal

PHILADELPHIA , Nov. 25. The first di
rect and authentic news from the moun
tain camp of General Antonio Maceo that
linn been received In this country ulnce Wcy
lor left Havana for the front , two weeks
ago , came today by special messenger , who
stopped In thla city. General Maceo rondo
greeting to his countrymen In the United
Statcu and In n few words assures them
and the friends of Cuba through the country
that his gallant band Is safe and able for a
tlmo nt least to take care of Itpclf. no mat
ter what the Spalnnrda may do. The mes
sage Is directed to the Now York Junta and
reads : "Wo hove withstood the enemy In
many encounters and are prepared for any
move he may make. Wo hnvo rendered him
much Injury and will be able to withstand
any of his attacks * for some time to come.
Assntro our noble friends In the United States
that the cause of liberty will not suffer In
Plnnr del Rio. To there who arc friendly
to our cause , I ecnd greeting. "
"ANTONIO MACEO. "
The message was dated nt the rebel army
camp near Las Pozas on the northern coast
at the farthest woutorn end of "the Rubl
chain of mountains , among which are the
several camps and strongholds of Mnceo's
forces.
Cubans In this city arc especially elated
over the report of Maceo. for they were
fearful of hln position during the part month
or fix wcekB. The carrier of the meruagc ,
whose name Is not given out by the Cuban
lenders , war a witness to the fight nt
Artcmlna , which was first reported as a great
Spanish victory , and later as n drawn battle.
"It was a zplcndld fight , " Eald the Cuban
officer , "and gave great hope and courage
to the entire army. You hero In the United
States" , who read only meager and untruth
ful rcporta , can have no Idea of the nature
of things In Plnar del Rio , But I will
ypeak more especially of ArtcmlEa , where
ono of the greatest Cuban victories was
won. Maceo did not uao his entire force
against the Spalnlards , but the latter , who
numbered between 6.000 and 8,000 , were
driven back from the foothlllo and many
of them wcro slain upon the hard plateau
before the town. As night came on Maceo
ordered two batteries to the brow of the
lilll and shelled the town. Fires began In
various places In the city and the effect
of the cannonading was tx > mcthlng wonder
ful. The two dynamite guns did fearful
work , lonio of which I had a chance to wlt-
nesa a few days ago , when 1 passed through
the city on my way to.Havana. . . Artetnlra
was almost destroyed. 'You would bo sur
prised at the work of our cannon. The
walls of the city were torn apart and many
of the big housoi were completely dcinslhhed.
I learned many \\cro killed during the four
hours' bombardment. The loss of the enemy
In the city alone was In the neighborhood
of 160 , according to these with whom I
talked , while my brief otay lasted. "
The bearer of General Maceo's message
will confer with the leodora In New York ,
deliver the message to T. Estrada Palma and
then Immediately return to receive the pro-
motloui which Is Invariably extended to
those who return safely from a perilous
mission.
KEY WEST , Fla. , Nov. 25. Passengers
from Havana report that General Weyler
returned to Havana yesterday and that his
entrance was made without demonstration
on the part of the populace , being cold and
bitter. General Weylcr reporta ho was un-
nblo to nnil Maceo.
The report of Sarafln Sanchez' death Is
denied.
The rebels have captured the town of Las
Tunas , In Puerto Principe.
Weyler's troops were terrorized at his
cruelty and barbarity In or near the Rubl
mountains. He killed and butchered 00
peaceful people , women and children in
cluded. Hundreds of families concentrated
In the towns In the province of Plnar del
Rio have died of fever and misery.
El Pals and the Dlarlo de la Famlla , Ha
vana dallies , call upon charity to assist the
poor and sick.
General Weylcr will probably return to
Plnar del Rio today.
Maceo has partially divided and subdivided
his forces to avoid engagements and his main
forces wcro days ago In the western part of
Plnar del Rio , having passed south by Can-
dclarla. General Weyler appears by his
own statement to hnvo thought the rebels'
main body was still at Rubl and Brujo. It
happened Maceo was able to go to Weylcr'e
rear from the first day of his operations ,
leaving some forces to entertain General
Munoz and Weylcr. Meanwhile he passed
by the front and right hand on the road
from Regalado to Cayajabos , from there
south of Canilelarla to the northwest of Pi-
nar del Rio , where It Is reported he awaits
an expedition and has a great supply of
victuals , cattle and mall ammunition. Ma
cco'a tactics are not to give battle and ho
thinks ho will bo able to give occupation to
thu Spanish without any results being
achieved by the troops. General Weyler's
Interview with the correspondent of El Lib
eral of Madrid Is considered by Intelligent
men as merely a diplomatic recourse to di
vert Impatient public opinion at Madrid.
Last night It was reported an expedition
had landed on the north coast In the west
ern portion of the province of Plnar del Rio.

NEW YORK , Nov. 2C. The World today
prints a statement by Senor Jose de Ar-
mash-Cadcnas , a diplomatic agent of the
Cuban republic , who claims to have visited
Spain to negotiate for a sale of Cuba to the
Cubans. The purchase price , ho asserts ,
was to bo $100.000,000. Ho describes two In
terviews with Premier Castillo. Ho says
the premier promised reforms If the Cubans
would abandon the fight. He suggested an
arrangement bo made by which the United
States guarantee the fulfillment of
Spain's promise. At this Castillo burst :
"Never ; the United States are re
sponsible for everything that Is
taking place In Cuba. They nrn the
true authoM of the war , and I guarantee
you that If Spain loses Cuba the United
States will pay Spain what Cuba Is woith.
The Morro damages err- now costing them
dear. The Indemnities which Spain lias asked
of them amount to a hundred times more.
They threaten Europe- with the Monroe doc-
trlno. and Spain In the Interest of Europe
will take up the gauntlet. Do not speak tome
mo about the United States mediating.
Spain will light , and If they do not wish the
Spanish ( lag to float In Cuba they will have
to obtain It after a glorious Trafalgir at
the gates of Havana. " _

NEW YORK , Nov. 25. John K. Redmond ,
M. P. for Wnterford City , Ireland , arrived on
the Teutonic tonight. Ho was met at quar
antine by Edward O'Klaherty , president of
the Irish Independent parliament party , and
John T. Daly , who Invited Mr. Redmond tea
a reception to be held In his honor at the
Hoffman house , as soon es he reached that
hostelry. Mr. Redmond has , slnco ho suc
ceeded the late Charles Stuart Parnell nt
leader of the Independent section of the
Irish nationalists , become a prominent figure
In Irish nnd English politic ! ] . He has become -
como romcwhat grayer and stouter than
when ho last visited New York In the spring.
A fellow passenger of Mr. Redmond was
Dr. Edward Byrne , the editor of the Irish
Dally Independent , who comes hero to spend
his vacation. He was curiously enough , u
companion of Mr. Redmond when , with
William O'Brien , and other members of
Parliament , that gentleman attended the
National league convention , held In Chicago
cage Immediately after Gladstone's Introduc
tion of his home rule bill for Ireland In
18SC. Mr. Redmond , In an Interview with.
the Associated press representative , said :
" .My present visit to America Is entirely
nonpollttcal , In the sense that I do not In
tend to take advantage of my visit to pro
mote the Interests of any political party In
Ireland. I nm hero on a lecture tour and
will deal -with political parties , for nobody
can speak about the British Parliament with
out dealing In politics. Irish controver
sial politics I shall , however , eschew. "
Mr. Redmond then referred to the royal
commission on the financial relations be
tween England and Ireland of which ho Is
n member. 'Tor the last half of a century , "
ho raid , "reprcsentatlvcD ot Ireland have
been Insisting that Ireland has been over
taxed , Two or three parliamentary commit
tees have reported , but In vain. But nt last ,
however , a representative committee of Eng
lish , Irtoh and Scotch member ? of all polit
ical parties in the three countries has In
vestigated the subject In the most exhaus
tive way. The commission has unanimously
reported that Ireland hat1 , for the last forty
year. , been ovortaxeJ about $15,000.003 a year ,
Judged by her relative capacity to bear taxa
tion \\lt ! > England. Certain members of
the commlMlon have believed a certain pro
portion of this taxation was offret by the
foci that the cruel and military adminis
tration of Ireland wao very costly. A
majority of two-thirds of the commission
has reported that , making full allowance for
every excessive expenditure In Ireland , that
country Is still overtaxed $12,250.000 a year.
This I regard as the moat. Important event
In the history of Ireland since the union
years ago. If the money wo have been
overpaid bo refunded to ui < , U will extinguish
taxation In Ireland altogether for an In
definite time. Even If restitution bo loft
out of account and we get bare Juetlco for
the future wo ought to have the latter sum
each year henceforward to enable Ireland
to develop her Industrial resources and make
her the prosperous country she would have
been but for this Intolerable burden. "
When asked In regard to the arrest ot
the alleged dynamiters and the subsequent
appearance of Jones , the American , a.s an
Informer , Mr. .Redmond said : "Of Jones'
performance I know nothing , and I do not
bellovo In the existence of any new dyna-
mlto conspiracy hero or clccwhcro against
England , and while I cannot but recognize
that this now dynamite pcaro may Interfere
with the release of the Irloli and Irish-Amer
ican prisoners still In Portland prison , I
feel that when the true facts come to light ,
the English people will not bo deterred from
performing n duty of Justice by releasing
the few remaining prisoners who have al
ready suffered greatly. The news that Gallagher
and White-head Insane
lagher - were hopelessly
sane when they arrived hero was no ncwo
to me. They were both mad for many years
before they wore tet free. Of the five men
still In Portland prison In whom Irishmen
most take an Interest , Flanagan In un-
doubedly Inrane , while Vv'lUon and Burton
are so dellcato that the prison doctor has
forbidden them from doing any heavy work.
The other two arc not In much better con
dition. "

formation of assassinations by peons , which
the Mexican government has until now been
able to keep secret. There are several Call-
fornlnns In the colony and , In view of re
cent events , they are fleeing to this country
for their lives. The Mexican government
has sent troops to the colony In the hope of
capturing the assassins , who , during the
past four mouths , have murdered three
American settlers In cold blood. The colony
was formed about four years ago and num
bers 200 souls. A tract of 100,000 acres of
land was secured at Mctlaltoynca , midway
between Tamplca and Vcra Cruz. Most of
the colonists wcro prosperous farmers of
the United States , who disposed of their
property and Invested the proceeds In Im
proving their tracts In the colony. Over
Jfifo.OOO was Invested In Improvements ami
the raising of coffee was beguri. President
Diaz nnd the Mexican government afforded
the colonists Important old and every en
couragement was offered them for the In
vestment of their capital. The prosperity
of the colonlits aroused the hatred of the
Mexicans who perpetrated a series of rob
beries. Cases of arson followed and finally
three murders were committed , all wltlltn
a month. The vhtlms were , Thomas Gomez ,
C. Delny nnd Charles Ptlcsciu A San Fran
ciscan who has Invested heivlly In the col
ony stated today that a reign of terror pre
vailed at Motlaltoynca. and that Us effect
was bound to be disastrous to the colony.
The peons , hp declared , were determined to
drive the settlers from the country and
unless the government Interfered their ef
forts would succeed. It Is alleged that the
State department has been made acquainted
with the facts and that the Mexican govern
ment would be called upon to make a thor
ough Investigation of the facts and to afford
American citizens the protection they need.
CITY OF MEXICO. Nov. 23. Sis cavalry
men have been dispatched to Metlaltoynca
and a rigorous Investigation Is being made
In the recent murders of the three cole
nists. A letter from ori English colonist ,
received today , says the trouble arose from
the failure of certain colonials to pay their
laborers , who took revenue 'Jpon them. The
government will severely punish the per
petrators of these deeds. TScro Is no truth
In the story of the lmtredcf , the Mexicans
for the colonists. '

alarmed slnco the murder-of the queen and
slnco that occurrence has resided In the

would not bo to the advantage of Japan to
have trouble In Corca.
It Is thought at the Corean legation that
there arc robber bands and lawless men In

DECATUR , 111. , Nov. 25. Sulciilo Is the
verdict of the coroner's Jury which held an
Inquest on the body of Rev. James Miller of
Bloomlngton , Tuesday morning. It Is now
generally believed that ho killed hlmrclf , but
the fact la as much n shock to the community
as was the first report of murder. G. Sponger
a firearm dealer at Springfield , came to'
Decatur this afternoon and Identified the
body positively at that of the man to whom
he sold a revolver at 4 o'clock * on Monday at
Springfield. Ho testified to that cltect before
the coroner. Tlio position of the revolver
on the ground Indicated that It had been
dropped by the dead man after firing ono
shot. The watch Is still missing. Mr. Mil
ler had an accident policy for $3,000 , good for
ono day , taken at Bloomlngton before ho
left. His friends do not believe that he came
hero to make It seem murder for the pur-
POPO of defrauding the Insjrancc company ,
but tuy that In a fit of Insanity ho killed
hlmoolf and afterwards thieves , finding the
body , took the watch and money , pulling
the pocketB Inside out. It Is well known
that Dr. Miller was In the habit of buying
accident Insurance policies and has done
that for years. No reason for the suicide
Is known.

utd , uml that we pledge our moral and llnnn-
clal support In the cainpiilf n of education
