the subject. Therefore. Jn previous to1 I
the departure of General Weyler for Pinar i
iH-1 Rio the correspondent called at the j
palae. . where be was courteously received
by the general , who was asked to supple

respondent of La Lacna at Artemlsa , which
was cabled to tbe Associated press on Tues

public utterances since bis retura from I

that that Is the object of the insurgents- under

Do jou believe President McKlnley will
follow the policy of President Clet eland IB

MtKinley represents public wealth and
the producing elements of the country and
I rannot believe that a raaa who so repre-
sr-ts the work virtue and prosperity of his
cc ntrj can carry out n policy which would
rcrr promise tbe interrste entrusted to bis
talents and discretion as a public man
Hence I think that McKlnlry will be guided

l'c cad tbe cordial relations long

NOTHING TO CONFISCATE.
"Is it true , general , " asked tbe correspond-
rn * that you propose to publish a decree
Truncating the property of the Cuban in-
* "
r-rgtnis
Atb a motion of ironical surprise General
Weyler answered "It is noi possible since
the rebels have nothing to confiscate They
do aot represent anything of the wealth

of any property owned by the insurgents
Ir ; me know I will convince myself of

* Is It a fact general that you will not

' I do oot feel inclined to permit the gath

the onlj rrsources tbe rebels can count en

WILL MAKE ANY SACRIFICE
"It fe reported that the Spaateb minister
for war intends toend another Urye con
tinent of creeps to Cuba la January "
"I do not kww. " replied General Weyler :
"I only think. I can assure you that the
nation is prepared to make all kinds of MC-
rlfies , both in money and men. which has
already beea prore < d , to conquer la this
aadertaklng and make Spain's sovereignty
respected before and above everj-
tbing. All tbe money spent end
to be spent will be Spanish
money. Cuba has beea asked for nothing ,
neither fsr men nor for money Spain does
not bold Cuba to exploit her nor has she
had anything from her and her dignity is
wife. Her pride in her great national his
toric traditions alone impels Spata aad she
will defend Cuba and will exheurt her last
dollar and her lact man in no doing This
Is not only the feeling of tbe gov-rnment.
but also of the Spanish pepl * . ' * shown
by the daily grow Ing enthusiasm and sacri-
fices by the nation "
"Do you think , general , that the recog
nition of tbe belligerence of tbe insurgeats
by the UaKed States would be taken ts aa
offess * by Spain * "
"It would be strange If any act directly
cimed at a recognition of any challenge of
Spaia'e right of sovereignty here , which
our people look uj-on as belnc beyond ques-
tloa. did not evoke an explosion of popular
feeling vhich It would be Impossible to
check , excited aad ardent as public eenti-
meat is BOW oa the Cubaa ejuestloa la
Spain "
"The Cubaas abroad eotnplala rtroncly of
Spanish tyranny and attribute tbe resolution
to the subjection f tte Cubans by a d * otic
government under which they -were aot
I only debarred from liberty but ateo from
public employment In their own country
! Can yon make a statement on this tmbject * "
i "They raurt offer some excu for the trea
son and destruction to wbi-h they have dedi
cated themselves since taking up arms. " re
plied the ceneral. "After tbe termination o !
the but war. Cuba wa" eonced d full liberty
by the motier country , and with a rapidity
with which few example * are shown among
other people The government Inaugurated
a regime granting ample Cuban representa
tion , availing itself of the provisional laws
until the Chambers ratified them and estab
lishing the rights of the Cuban people upon
an equity , with tbe European Spaniards ) in

present Spanish constitution was promulgate !
I recognizing the equality of white and blaclc
Cuban and Spaniard , in thi region Tbe pro
vincial and municipal laws are alike in the
provinces of Spain There IF absolute free
dom of the pre ? * public meeting and asso

short the Cubans have all tbe liberties that
are enjoyed by the Spaniards1 in their native
country. As to the social question , the

abolition measures and reduced the time
appointed for the gradual aad total abolition
of slavery All thir li recognised by liberal

CUBANS IN PUBLIC OFFICE.
"Bat. " iaristed the correspondent , "the
Cubaae complain that they are deprived of
holding public office. "
"This ir another notoriously unjust asser
tion. " tm.ll General Wejl r. "The Cuban ; are I
left out oot through Spain's tyranny but I i
because tltej do not tek to bold office. During - ,

I j j No province in Spain has such a large pro-

the administration Vare beea held by Cubans
The provincial governors aad tbe secreta

tbe customs revenue and the headr of other

all the pom- are held by Cuban * In Madrid

who have acted as ambassadors to the hlcber

isters ; I areare j-Ou that there are over
1 009 Cuban o3icers in the Spanish army , and
that there are over 500 tight ing in Cuba for
Spain , ranking from general down , to subal
terns of all the regular forces You will
now see that tbepe charges that Cuban * are
not allowed to bold office carry their own
denial , aad tbe fact that since the treaty
of San John , there are no Cuban place seek
ers may be because all tbe placus are filled
with Cubans"
NO SPANISH TYRAWY.
"But. " said the correspondent , "the
Cubanr assert that even la tbe local popular
posts they are barred oat through tbe blgb
degree of qunllScation required. "
"This also le inexact. " said the general.
"Only the possession of 15 per annum of
taxable propeny is tbe requirement. Where
the Cubans represent wealth they have the
provincial offices , as in Puerto Prlacipe.
Santa Clara and many towar in the eastern
department. Where , however , they are not
wealthy , and could not count in with the
majority , they were retained In tbe minority.
But even thus most of tbe municipal jonI I
tioar were in the hands of the Cubans , and ;
the same was the care with the minor pod- :
tions and the Kate officer ? . Now , let UP see i
what these complaints- amount to Nothing - i
ing but a pretext to argne with some
show of justification for treachery to tbe
nation The plainer proof that these complaints - j
plaints are unjust is in tact , that all the |
representative * of the Cuban political parties ;
have placed thtimseJves on tbe side of the gov
ernment , have formed a committee for the
national defense and that all are striving
equally with the came object in view , not
withstanding the different tendencies of their ,
political platforms , conservative and liberal !
alike. Tbe committee Is actually composed | ! 1
of tbe root * prominent men of tbe three par-
tics and they represent the culture , wealth 1 I I
and production of tbe itland They not oaly '
otMi acainst t.e : Insurgents but against
the complaints they have formulated
the government , whose 'tyranny they know
better Uum an } one does ret eiltl and never
existed. "
Finally the oorrcpondeat Mked Central
Weyler it be would agree to a truoc In order
to brine about an exchange ot views be
tween himself and ihevCuban ! - de-r * . He
ansrered "That would be ( rat Of tinqu s

mass was celebrated of tbe eight Havaaa I
medical students who were executed by the '

than that of the patriots who founded this |

Another commemorative rervlce was held
toalght ia Chickcriag hall , which was
crowded Bourke Cockran. C. A Dans , t '
Emanutl Stngullly and Dr Enrique Bar- ,
nctt were the speakers All the members
of the Cuban junta had seats oa tbe plat1 1
form. Bourke Cockran E speech was one ! i
of the most elewjunet ever asnfle | j
by him. He urged intervention by
this government ia the interest of
civilization end hcmanitv and said the !
annexation of Cuba would put this country
! on a footing xrttb barbarous Spain When.
i howcrer. tie Cuban should breathe tbe air
! of freedom aad desired to become a part
of this republic , they they could be rated
1 as equals aad ao : Ihe subjects of conquest.
i Further , be said that if necessary the Cubaas
i should be allowed to purchase their freej
dom from Spain and that ia the interest ot
j peace , the United Stales should guarantee
' the paymeat of the bonds However , it is
{ time , he declared that the executive shoula
, make kaowa his views upon the Cuban ques
tion and it the word was spoken freedom
1 would be secured wl'hout tbe .firing of a
, single shot. But if armed 'nterfereace
! should become the cause of humanity , be
i fav ored a final resort to arms. He added
"No nation can remain silent while
'
atrocities are committed within view of iu
harbors It is an Intolerable government
! that would permit such a state of affairs
1 to exist without criticising the government
of Spain in Cuba. It is a duty to civiliza
tion , humanity and ourselves , whether
, sooner or later this government will extend
a sympathetic htnd to the Cuban ia his t 1
i trouble It is no * , a question of his enianI I
cipatloa or his extermination. Our attitude i
must be defined , so that the patriot aad the |
Spaniard can know with whom he must
reckon If tbe Cuban patriot is to be ex
terminated , in heaven's name lit him kno > |
that the aid he is expecting is aot forth-
comlag , that the butchery Is to be ooa-
tinuod. instead of keeping him In suspense
by our illeace. "
At this tiaie a Cuban , who had been over
come by passion. Fhouted : "Care Cleve
land " Tbe speaker having cauht the ex
clamation , lost no timr to reply "My
friend. " be ftU "no maa will bring a curs *
upon tbi country by a failure to do his
duty "
Retraining his * pech , Mr. Cockran de
clared "It is time thir government should-
ijK-nVc out aad have the courage of itr pon-
'vlctlonr I hope It docs , ard it will not be
to annex Cuba , but liberate itI believe
that it the president insisted that Cuba '
nru t be free. , it would be tree. If a fleet of I

steamed into the harbor of Havanaa , and in- i
t ited tbe entire Spanish outfit to ts.be a !
io ) age to Cadiz , they would uHHaglj ac
cept the invitation. "
In conclusion Mr Cockran eaid "This gov
ernment must speak upon tbe Cuban ques
tion Never before has so much pow er been
vested in tbe executive Will our president
pronounce the wvrd ot doom or liberation *
If be declare * Cuba litre that Bag ( point-

their names are kaowa and it is believed
they will also be lodged In jail. The gang
is said to be the same that so boldly held

breast of the motormaa. Another fellow ,
who had quickly followed Bridges and who
wore a mask , had Just entered the rear
door and was in the act of ordering the pas-
seacers to hold up their hands , wtea the
conductor threw him from the car. which
the motormaa in some meaner had ben
able to start. The two remaining robbers ,
who , it appears , were to have covered the
conductor , became frigbtcaed at the quick
actloa displayed by him and whea tbe second
end robber allchted on the ground the three
made off to tbe weeds Ia the meantime
Bridges was tussling with the motormaa.
to whose aid some male passeagers came.
The womea became frantic with fricht aad
screamed or cried refusiag to be quieted

Bridces was finally o\erpov ered without
having fired his revolver and the car pro
ceeded on its run to Independeace.

evidently to see whether his confederates
were doing their act. For a second fcis ejer
