Wallaa algal FIGHT.
Spain Tells the Captain General to
Push His Operations.
DEGISIVE ACTION WANTED.
Macao Has an Apparently Insignificant
Force Against the Sixty Thousand
Spanish Troops—The Probable
Course of Our Government.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.——It is learned
here on authority that the Spanish govern-
ment has given General Weyler to under-
stand that he must push his operations
against the insurgents aggressively and
vigorously. Unless he soon achieves a. de-
cisive victory over the Cubans, it is be—
lieved he will be recalled. General Weyler,
it is understood, is aware of thcgllternative,
and his present campaign in Pinar del Rio
is expected to result in an engagement that
will put a new aspect on the Cuban situa-
tion one way or the other. The campaign,
therefore, has become to him a personal
matter, and with the knowledge that his
prestige and rank are at stake the Havana
cables are being watched with interest for
news of more importaa.) battles than the
skirmish and guerrilla fights that have
thus far come by way of them. General
Weyler has all the troops he can use. There
are over 200,000 Spanish troops in Cuba,
and the force under the captain general in
his present operations in the field in person
is over 60,000 men.
Maceo’s Forces.
Maceo, against whom he is now operat-
ing, has under him, itis estimated, about
7,000 men. Spain, having fulfilled all of
General Weyler’s wishes as to troops, now
expects results from him. Consul General
Lee has acquainted the administration with
these facts, and the president is at present
simply awaiting events and will shape his
course by the developments. ,
It is the hope of General Weyler that he
will be able to score a decided victory be-
fore the aSSembling of congress, Dec. 7.
Spain fears adverse action by that body
soon after it meets and has urged General
Weyler to demonstrate his ability to crush
the rebellion within the next two weeks,
if possible.
In view of file fact that Spain is now
making a strong and almost supreme effort
to subdue her insurgent colony and that a
crisis apparently is at hand, the president
will delay writing that part of his forth-
coming mcssage on the Cuban situation
until the last moment before the meeting
of congress. The position the administra-
tion will take with reference to Cuba in
this message of the chief magistrate will be
largely determined by the news received
before Dec. 7. Should the news be favor-
able to the success of the Spanish arms, it
is probable that the president would con-
tinue to pursue his policy of noninterfer-
ence. Should it, on the other hand, be dis-
tifl’tly favorable to the insurgent cause,
and especially if it should happen that
Weyler were defeated, Mr. Cleveland, it is
possible, might no longer hesitate to rec-
ommend the recognition of their rights as
belligerents or some other action equally
undesirable to Spain.
Another Possibility.
What action would follow a. simply neg-
ative result of the campaign—that is, a
fruitless chase after the insurgents by
General Weyler—is less clear. Probably
the administration’s course would be in-
fluenced in some measure at least by what
representation Spain made as to the policy
it would pursue and the instructions given
her new captain general in the event that
Weyler were summoned home. Therefore
it is felt here that the most important Cu-
ban news may be expected to come from
Cuba. and not from Washington.
General Fitz Hugh Lee, consul general
to Cuba, called at the state department to-
day and was with Secretary Olney for half
an hour. So far as could be learned there
was no special significance in the visit be-
yond a further general discussion of the
situation in Cuba. Reports continue to
come from the acting consul general at
Havana, and several of these were looked
over and later taken by General Lee for a
fuller perusal. The consul general had
not called at the White ,House up to noon
and hardly expected to go there today.
Mr. Cleveland is busily engaged in writ-
ing his annual message, and few callers
see him. It is understood that General
Lee’s call had nothing to do with any do-
, velopment in connection with the Spanish-
Cuban situation, but was rather a. discus-
sion of the situation viewed from his five
months’ residence on the island. He will
be here several days, returning then to
Virginia before going to Havana.

HAVANA, Nov. 17 .—The insurgents have
on Cape Maisi, at the eastern extremity of
the province of Santiago de Cuba. The
gunboat Vazco Nunez, with 150 soldiers on
board, has left Baracoa, near Cape Maisi,
in order to assist the garrison of the be-
sieged fort.
Lieutenant Colonel Romo has surprised
the camp of the insurgent leaders Manuel
Gordo and Aurello Aulet. The encamp-
ment was in the woods near Solidad, and
in the skirmish which followed the appear-
ance of the Spanish troops both the insur-
gents leaders mentioned were killed and- an
insurgent officer and eight privates were
also killed, while six insurgents were cap-
tured.
Colonel Molina, while skirmishing in the
district of Guamutas, province of Mutan-
zas, has killed the insurgent ‘ captain
Emilio Padron and eight privates. The
colonel also captured five insurgents.
During recent skirmishes in different
parts of the island the insurgents have lost
23 men killed. ’
New Type of Engine Invented.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 17. —A small rotary en-
gine has been invented by Grant Brambe
of Sleepy Eye, Minn, for the patent of
which, it is alleged, H. F. Allen of Lon-
don, president of an engineering syndicate,
has offered $1,600,000. The engine does
away entirely with. the crank motion of
the steam engine, uses its own plunger for
a cut off, is steam tight and requires no
‘ ring packing. It may be made for marine
use, and, of course, may be either simple

STORM IN THE NORTHWEST.
Railway Traffic Delayed—Damage at Tn-
cornn and Portland.
TACOMA, Nov. 17.-—The valleys between
"Tacoma and Seattle are flooded, causing
such danger to trafl‘ic that the Northern
Paciflc'has abandoned its service on the
Seattle branch. Only one wire out of seven
is working between Tacoma and Seattle,
making particulars of the flood hard to get,
as the railroad is using the single wire.
A log jam formed in the White river at
Kent, and it was reported that the railroad
bridge would have to be blown away to
prevent an inundation of tip town and val-
ley. A later report says that the bridge
has gone. It will probably be several days
before trains to Seattle can be resumed.
The rain changed to snow yesterday morn-
ing. It continued falling all day, and the
ground is covered with from one to two
inches of snow today.
PORTLAND, On, Nov. 16.—This city was
the center of a storm which is now rapidly
moving eastward, according to the reports
of the weather bureau officials. The tem-
perature here fell to 34 degrees above zero,
an unprecedented mark for this season.
The rainfall was heavy, and a, number of
washouts are reported on the line of the
Northern Pacific railroad betweé‘rh this city
and Tacoma. Passenger train No. 1, which
was due on Saturday at noon, was delayed
by a break in the track this side of Linton
and did not reach Portland until this
morning-at 4 o’clock. A s the rain has evi-
dently abated, no further trouble along the
line is looked for as the result of the pres-
ent storm. The Oregon Railway and Navi-
gation passenger train due in Portland at
8:30 o’clock last night was delayed two
miles above the Cascade locks, where the
bridge across a small mountain stream
was carried out. The passengers were
transferred to a train sent up from Pert-
land and arrived at 2:15 a. 'm.
In Portland the storm did considerable
damage. Sewers and gutters proved entire-
ly inadequate to carry the great volumes of
water which swept down from the hills
back of the city and passed through every
street. The telephone companies kept thclr
linemen out all day untangling their wires.
The tunnels which carry the wires under
the streets became filled with water and
required the constant services of men with
pumps to keep them clear.

The Volley Fired at n~ Prisoner Did Not
Injure Him Seriously.
FARMVILLE, Va ,_ Nov. 17.-_-Early this
morning, long before daylight, a lynching
party visited the jail of Prince Edward
county, located at Farmville, and attempt-
ed to take the life of Elisha Johnson, col~
cred, awaiting trial for an assault and
highway robbery alleged to have been
committed Tuesday night upon a white
, man named “Wax” Price. There were in
the party a half dozen determined men,
one of whom climbed the high fence sur-
rounding the jail at d unhooking the gate
admitted the others. The prisoner was
confined in a lower floor cell, and when
asked through the window if he was
Elisha the reply came that the man want-
ed was in the next room. The would be
lynchers immediately opened fire upon the
prisoner who was lying upon his couch
paralyzed from fright. He could not be
seen well through the window and cell
bars, and only one load of shot from the
volley fired at him took effect. His wounds
are not serious. Johnson, it is alleged,
waylaid “Wax” Price near Price’s depot,
in this county, and struckhim on the head
and robbed him. Price’s injuries are not
serious, and therefore there is much sur-
prise that an attempt at lynching was
made.
CLARKB’S. LAST MEMORY.
San Francisco Police J ogged It by Prompt-
ly Arresting Him.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17.—Rev. W. G.
Shaw of St. Luke’s Episcopal church called
on the chief of police with a- man whom
he introduced as Henry T. Clarke of New
Haven. Mr. Clarke said 1“that for two
months his mind has been a blank and he
wanted the police to trace his movements
during that time. The last he remem-
bered was leaving his wife to go to work
in New Haven last September. Sunday
morning he awoke in a. lodging house here
and found he had registered as A. Walker.
He had no idea. how he got there and
wanted information.
This the police readily furnished by
placing Mr. Clarke in jail, charged with
embezzlement. According to the police,
Henry T. Clarke, who was employed by
Peck &, Bishop of New Haven, left that
town suddenly on Sept. 26 last, taking
with him $450 in cash and $820 in checks.
Clarke says he has no knowledge of tak-
ing any money that did not belong to him,
and expresses his willingness to go back
to New Haven.

The Second Trial of the Unfortunate
Italian Girl Begun.
KILLED PAITHLBSS LOVER.
0n the First Trial Marie Was Convicted
and= Sentenced to‘ Death In the
Electric Chair—Slow Progress
In Obtaining Jurors.
, N EW YORK, Nov. 17.—Maria BarbeI-i
was placed on trial for her life today for
the second time. It is but a. year and a
half since, with the death sentence ringing
in her ears, she was led from the court of
Recorder 35$, a low, ignorant woman, il-
literate, hardened by vicious surroundings
and obstinate in her belief that in killing
her faithless lover, Domenico Cataldo, she
but exercucd a. right.
She has changed since then. Her very
looks, as she stepped into the criminal
branch of the supreme court today, showed
that she has been surrounded by softening
influences, even though her home has been
a. prison cell. Her figure was more erect,
her step firmer, her face clearer and its
lines softer. Her eyes fearlessly met all
those turned upon her. She came to her
second trial confident that she would be
and friendless, unable even to make her-
self understood except through an inter-
preter. Today she has powerful friends,
for 50,00?! women signed the petition to
,Governor Horton to grant her clemency;
she spoke to those about her in English,
which lanugage she has learned to read and
write with considerable ease. The year
the young woman spent. in Sing Sing,
While the appeal from the sentence of death
was pending, was an education to her.
Under the care of Mrs. Sage, the warden’s
Wife, and many other charitable women
who became interested in her case she was
taught to read and write, and there was
awakened in her a desire for knowledge.
The result has been a. surprise even to
her closest friends. They declare that she
has come to a realization of the wrong she
committed and has expressed her regret for
it and a hope that in the future she will
have an opportunity to retrieve herself.
Marie Barber-1's Defense.
As to the defense that will be made in
her behalf her lawyers, Fred House and
Emanuel Friend, have refused to talk. At
the last trial her Counsel, Amos Evans,
endeavored to prove that the girl was in-
sane at the time she killed Cataldo. The
evidence showed that she was an ignorant
girl; that when she had been in this coun-
try but a year she was ruined by Cataldo,
a. low Italian, and induced to leave her
parents and live with him. He promised
to marry her, and when she demanded the
fulfillment of his promise he laughed at
her and told her that “only pigs married. ”
Goaded almost to madness by his treat
ment of her, on April 24, 1895, she con-
teenth street, and after he had again re-
fused to marry her she cut his throat
with a razor. At the trial, which occurred
in May, she pleaded temporary insanity as
an excuse for the deed, and when the story
of Cataldo’s faithlessness was known much
sympathy was expressed with her. But
the recorder’s charge so prejudiced her case
that she was found guilty and was sen—
tenced to death. Before the governor had
an opportunity to act on the immense pe—
tition for clemency which was presented
to him the court of appeals reversed the
case on account of erorrs in the recorder’s
charge and ordered a new trial. That
action was taken on April 22, and since
then the young woman has been in the
Tombs.
It was naturally suggested by the last
trial that the defense this time would be
insanity.~ 'But on this point Mr. House
said:
“Our defense will "of: be insanity. It
will surprise the pl! - when om! case is
disclosed, but I do n "3' to talk of it
now. Only twice befor. cat I know of
has such a defense been interposed in a
homicide case. ”
Confident of Acqnittal.
Mr. House further said that he never
went to the trial of a homicide case with
more confidence that an acquittal would be
secured.
When Justice Gildersleeve took his seat
on the bench in the criminal branch, the
Barberi case was at once called. The de-
fendant was. brought into com‘t by Mr.
Friend and Mrs. TI" ‘cr. She wore a plain
but no :t black (r g and bonnet and step-
ped easily to her pause at the bar and took
a chxir by her counsel, with whom she con-
versed in low tones. Assistant District At-
torney McIntyre and Deputy Assistant
Lauterbach were present for the prosecu-
tion. In the space reserved in the court-
room for visitors there were about 100 per-
sons, many of whom were Italians who had
contributed to the fund that is defraying
the expenses of the defense. In the course
of the call of t Ic jury panel the defendant
was taken ill and had to leave the room for
a few minutes. She returned in time to
hear Mr. h‘lclntyrc move the trial of the
case. Mr. House informed the court that
the defense was. ready to proceed.
The work of getting a. jury then began.
Jonathan Nathan of 6 West Fifty-first
street was the first “salesman examined.
The prosecution had hardly learned his
name and address when' they put to him
the two pivotal questions: Was he opposed
' to capital punishment and had he scruples-
against finding a woman guilty of a crime
punishable with death?
The work of jury getting progressed very
slowly, owing to the numerous discussions
by counsel.

MANILLA’S BLACK HOLE.

A Loatlrome Underground Dungeon '1'th

LONDON, Nov. 16.—A letter to 'The
Times from its Henglmng correspondent
confirms the stories told of the terrible
dungeon fortress at Manillu, in which the
captured insurgents of the Philippine is-
lands are placed.
The writer describes it as tho “ black hole
of Manilla, ” says that the prisoners are let
down as into oublicttcs and asserts that
the ventilation is obtained througha grat~
ing in the floor, which is closed at high
tide.
He adds that during one hot night 150
prisoners were confined in this small cell,
and when the tide rose the atmosy here was
so stifling that men and women fought
like wild animals. Some went mad. The
next morning the soldiers took out 54
corpses, and altogether 70 persons died.
PUSHING THE SULTAN.
Signor Pause Tolls Him He Must Act an
\Vell us Promise.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 16. — Signor
Pausa, the Italian cmbassador, had an au-
dience yesterday evening with the sultan.
The embassador strongly insisted upon
the execution of the proposed reforms, and
the sultan declared that they would be ex-
ecuted.
But Signor Pansa pointed to the fact
that the promised reforms were not being
carried out, and he told the sultan that
they must be, adding that it was not suffi-
cient to promise and publish reforms; it
was necessary to put them into effect.
The Italian ~embassador also strongly
insist-ed upon the punishment of Colonel
Mazehan Boy, who is held to be responsi-
ble for the murder of Father Salvator.
ARGHBISHOP IRELAND.
The Reports That He Is to Be Removed
Are Pure Inventions.
ROME, Nov. 16.—It is scmiofficially
stated at the Vatican that the reports cir-
culated in the United States of the inten-
tion of the pope to remove Archbishop Ire~
land of St. Paul are pure invent-ions.
Archbishop Ireland has simply been ad-
vised from an authorized quarter to mod-
erate his attitude, avoid irritating discus-
sions and conform his conduct to the in-
structions of the holy sec, especially as re—
gards education, social questions and the
favor to be accorded to religious bodies.
THE FRENCH SUGAR BILL.
Rejected by the Customs Committee of the
Chamber of Deputies.
ARIs, Nov, 16.—The customs commit-
tee of the chamber of deputies has rejected
the government’s sugar bill. '
'By the terms of this '3i‘-l, which was pro-
posed on Oct. 24, it was planned to add a
tax of 2% francs to the excise duties on
sugar used for home consumption, the
funds derived in this manner to be applied
to the granting of an export bounty of 2 34
francs for refined sugars and raw sugars
yielding 98 per cent and 1% francs for raw
sugars yielding from 65 to 90 per cent.
It was decided by the customs commit--
tee to propose a compromise measure nu-
viding for the granting of bountics which
will not be borne exclusively by refiners,
consumers or growers of sugar.
WIRE AND—NAIL TRUST.
It “’1“ Cut Prices and Drive Small Com-
petitors Out of Business.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 16.—A man who” is
familiar with the affairs of the Wire and.
Nail trust says a drop in the price of rails
is likely to come soon. The sharp inrrea-se
within the past two years has led 2 s the
starting of numerous small factors; to
compete with the trust, and this man says
the trust will drive these competitors out
of the field by cutting prices.
He predicts a drop from $2.60, the pres-
ent price, to 81.7 5. At the latter figure,
he says, the trust can make money, be-
cause it manufactures its own wire, but
the small factories, which buy their wire
from other mills cannot do business at a
profit at the figure named.

Political Campaign of 1900.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 16.— ational'Repub-
can Committeeman H. C. Payne, chair-
man of the Chicago headquarters, arrived
in the city from New York yesterday and
with General W. M. Osborne of the New
York headquarters, who came up from
Canton, held a long conference with Hon.
M. A. Hanna in the latter’s private oflice
in the Perry-Payne building. It is stated
that among other subjects discussed was
that of formulating plans in connection
with the future of the Republican organi-
zation. At the conclusion of the confer-
ence General Osborne was asked by a re—
porter:
“Has Major McKinley commenced con-
sidering cabinet possibilities?’ ’
“I guess that is about the only thing
agitating his mind nowadays. He real-
izcs that he has a. hard task on his hands.”
“Would ex-President Harrison be ac-
ceptable to the McKinleyites for the secre—
tary of state portfolio?”
“Most certainly, but I do not believe he
would accept it. His law partner has
given it out that Mr. Harrison would not
be in a position to accept the honor. All
kinds of rumors are in the air about the
secretary of the treasury. It goes without
saying that Mr. Hanna can have anything
that he wants. The point is, Does he want
anything? It may take Mr. McKinley un-
til a week before his inauguration before
he will have decided on the complete make-
up of his cabinet.”
“If the permanent headquarters of the
organization goes to Washington, will yot1
be in charge?"
“ The question of a permanent head-
quarters, as far as I know, has not yet
been positively decided upon. The matter
rests solely with Mr. Hanna. However,
if Washington is chosen, Ipresume, as see-
retary of the national committee, I would
probably be located there.”
Bryan Opens the Next Campaign.
LINCOLN, Neb, Nov. 16.—William Jen-
nings Bryan formally opened the political
campaign 'of 1900 here Saturday. He spoke
to three meetings and received an ovation
at each. In the afternoon Mr. Bryan ad-
dressed an audience of 1,350 ladies, mem-
bers of the Mary Bryan club, at the Funke
theater. He spoke upon the money ques—
tion, assured his hearers that he bore no
lll'wl'l to any one who differed from him
and :-skc:l the ladies to carry in their
hearts and to their homes this motto, “A
government like ours, deriving its powers
through and by the people, should be
four:"’ed upon this one principle—equal
right :3 i". all :ard SpC'rl’il privileges to none.’ ’
In the evening Mr. Bryan delivered a
brief address to an audience of 1,800, in—
cluding the Traveling Men’s Bryan clllb,
the Veterans and Bryan Home guards, at
the Funke Opera House and later spoke a
few minutes at an overflow meeting at
Bohannan’s hall. His voice had practical-
ly failed him at the afternoon meeting,
and he. had not sufficiently regained it to
speak long. He was accorded a warm
welcome and spoke very ‘briefly and in gen-
eral terms of the necessity of carrying on
the work of free silver education and of
maintaining their various organizations.
Mr. Bryan advised all clubs and organi~
zations outside of Lincoln to drop his name
and be known as bimetallists. This would
eliminate all personal issues and leave
them in better condition to do good work
for the cause. He would be proud, how-
ever, to have the Lincoln city clubs named
in his honor continue their designations.
