Weyler’s Return to the Cuban Capital
Causes Great Comment.
MACEO Is NOW THE MASTER.
The Insurgent General Said to Be Having
Things His Own Way—Spain's Defi-
ance of Uncle Sam In the Com-
petitor Crew Matter.
HAVANA, Nov. 25. —This city is in a
state of excitement over the return of Cap-
tain General Weyler from Pinar del Rio.
No reason has yet been given for this ac-
tion of the Spanish commander.
One thing seems evident, and that is
that Weyler has ingloriously failed to
crush Maceo, as he started out to do a.
few weeks ago. ‘
It is reported here that the scouts inform-
ed the captain general that Maceo was con-
templating a descent on Havana, and it is
ossible that Weyler . returned in order to
lie prepared for some such movement on
the part of the rebels.
As the Spanish government is under-
stood to have given Captain General Wey-
ler orders not to return to Havana until he
had accomplished something decisive
against Maceo, every one is anxiously in-
quiring: “What next? What will the
Spanish government do now that the cap-
tain general has failed?”
Even more anxiously, however, are peo-
ple inquiring, “What will the United
States do?”
The captain general arrived last evening
on the cruiser Legazpi from Mariel. He
looked very sunburned and wore a field
uniform and a panama hat.
Maceo Is the Master.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov. 25. —Maceo is
master of the situation in Pinar del Rio
province, and it is intimated that he will
soon make a move that will put Weyler
and Havana in peril.
One of Macao’s lieutenants, named Aris-
tada, has arrived from Havana with dis-
patches for the New York junta. He
braved a Spanish prison to get here, as he
had to pass through Havana. There he
was smuggled on a. schooner which took
him to Key West.
He was badly wounded in one of the
October engagements and is ngvv here in
good hands undergoing treatment.
While he has been seen by but few and
will say little regarding his general’s posi-
tion, save to the Cuban leaders—and they
are mum as oysters — enough has been
gathered to know that Maceo is more than
holding his own. Weyler makes no move
unknown to the patriot chief, while Maceo
keeps Weyler guessing about him.
The Cuban commander is pursuing guer-
rilla tactics, worrying Weyler with feints
and dashes, keeping the Spanish troops
constantly on the alert.
Americans with Maceo are doing as
much to worry the Spaniards with their
sharpshooting and dynamite bombs as
double their number of Cubans.
John Lynn, 3 young man from this city,
is reported tobe lieutenant of a dynamite
battery and in charge of the work of lay-
ing mines in Weyler’s path.
A mine was sprung last week in the
midst of Weyler’s advance guard, killing
or wounding more than 30 soldiers. This
has caused the Spaniards to fear Lynn,
who is called the American dynamiter. A
price is set on his head. -
Aristada says that while in Havana he _
was told that Weyler’s forces had been re-
pulsed and that Weyler was going back
secretly to Havana. .
The, city is‘patrolled by large squads of
soldiers, all guards being doubled. _
Many arrests were made last week, the
government keeping the names of the per-
sons arrested secret to avoid popular agi~
tation. ‘
Coll-no Confident of Victory.
TAMPA, Fla, Nov. 25.—General Collazo
writes to his family in this city from San
Tomas, eastern Cuba: -
“Perfect peace existsin this territory.
The Spaniards have shut themselves up in
Maniabon and Las Tunas, so that it is
merely when there are stores to 1:, con-
veyed from place to place that we ha‘ve a
chance-to have a brush with them.
“I am much surprised that the Spanish
have determined upon another campaign.
I thought after their last supreme effort
they would not make another, but I see
they have sent 40,000 more men. This is
the height of blindness and obstinacy.
“I had hopes that - things would have
been finished this year. N 0w we have to
postpone it until February or March, in
which months they will be convinced of
the inevitable and sure triumph of the rev-
olution, for while every day they are get-
ting weaker and weaker we are getting
stronger.
.“ The excellent and intelligent way with
which our friends in the United States
have worked and the rapid arrival of ex-
pedition after expedition mean the exit of
all Spanish hopes.
“I cannot give exact figures, but can say
that wehave at least 25,000 fully equipped
men and 20,000 more properly drilled and
ready' to take their places in the army as
soon as we have means to arm them. In
the last revolution of ten years we never
had more than 8,000 men armed, and we
were always short of ammunition. Now
we have three times as many men, a plen-
tiful supply of ammunition and a perfect
faith in our ultimate triumph.
“We find ourselves in possession of this
department, where the families live peace—
fully in their houses. Our mounted senti-
nels patrol the main roads within sight of
the Spanish forts. '
_ “General Gomez is laying siege to Gas-
corro, and as yet no assistance has been
sent the Spanish forces from Puerto Prin—
cipe, and it is probable that while I am
writing this the place has surrendered.
“It seems that the Spaniards have lost
all hope of ruling here, but they believe
thatin accumulating forces in the Vuelta
Abajo (Pinar del Rio) district they are go-
ing to pacify the island in sections. They
will soon find out their mistake. Each
locality has its own forces, thoroughly ac-
quainted with the country they defend,
always on the watch and fighting inde-
pendently Wherever they are most needed.
“Gomez is using artillery on Gaseorro,
and soon we will attack other places in
like manner. ’Even with the Spanish re-
enforcements of 40,000 men the tables have
turned. We are the attacking party; they
are on the defensive.”
Spain’s Open Defiance.
HAVANA, Nov. 20 (via Barton, Fla.,
Nov. 25).-—The Competitor prisoners have
been tried by court martial in the fortress
La Cabana in spite of Consul General Lee’s
Official protest, filed just before he left He-
vana. ‘
The exceptions taken by the prisoners
Were overruled by the naval courts. - Gen-
eral Lee’s note was pigeonholed, and in
defiance of Secretary Olney’s intimation of
disapproval the O’Ompetitor’s crew and
Mr. Melton, the American newspaper cor-
respondent, have again been tried. by a
drumhead court, sitting within the walls
of a Spanish fortress, where, according to
Captain General Weyler’s orders, no repre-
sentative of the United States consulate
may enter.
The prisoners were allowed neither in-
terpreter nor counsel.
Those partly acquainted with Spanish
Were compelled to interpret for the others.
So quietly was the affair conducted that
Acting Consul General Springer does not
yet know that the case was virtually closed
Nov. 14, on which .day Melton, Maza, Dr.
Vedia. and the witness, George Ferrari,
were forced by Naval Judge Fernandez to
sign statements admitting their complicity
in the filibustering expedition which the
Competitor is alleged to have brofight un-
der Monzon and Laborde to the Pinar del
Rio coast. This writtei evidence is now
under consideration by the court.
Judge Saul said today that a decision
may be rendered at any moment.
It is expected that all the members of
the party whose American citizenship has
not been clearly shown will be shot. The
bona fide Americans probably will be sen-
tenced to from three to ten years’ impris-
onment in some Spanish penal station off
the coast of Africa. ‘_
The prisoners are much disappointed at
the/failure of the United States to obtain
for them a civil trial and the right to em-
ploy counsel. Spain, however, it seems,
set up the claim and insists still that these
privileges, conceded by treaty to Ameri-
cans residing in Cuba, can hardly be con-
strued as applicable to citizens of the
. United States not legally domiciled here
nor visiting the island upon legitimate
business with the tacit or expressed con-
sent or license of its lawful authorities.
Fortifying Florida.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., Nov. 25.—Colonol
Benyadeau of the United States Engineers’
corps, in charge of the Florida district,
will open bids for the building of fortifica-
tions at Key West additional to those there
and for four 10 inch, two 8 inch high pow—
er, disappearing guns and eight 12 inch
rifled mortars and other ordnance of lesser
caliber.
The plans and specifications for these
additional fortifications and for fortifying
the St. Johns river harbor are kept so se-
cret that few bidders—only those vouched
for by ofiicials—are allowed to see them,
and then they see only such parts as will
give no idea of the fortifications as a whole.
Bidders say that the work must proceed
with the greatest speed, especially the Key
West fortifications.
The bids for fortifying the St. Johns
river harbor will be received shortly.
All gulf forts are to be greatly strength-
ened. Extraordinary efforts are being
made to strengthen Tortugas and Fort
Barrancas, Pensacola.
The engineers will call, too, for bids for
fortifications at Savannah and Wilming-
ton. '
It was expected that all the'bids would
have been opened simultaneously, but such
great haste was shown that it was given
up.
Spanish Raid Hospitals.
HAVANA, Nov. 25.—T’he Cuban hospital
at Esmeralda, near Ajo dc Aqua, was
raided and captured by the Spanish troops.
Eleven inmates were put to the machete,
no prisoners being taken alive.
Near Sabana N nova another hospital
was likewise seized.
In these attacks the raiding government
forces claim not to have lost a. man, so
weak was the resistance offered.
Three Cubans, prisoners of War, were
shot in Matanzas yesterday as incendiaries.
Spanish gunboats continue their destruc-
tion of settlements along the Cuban coast
wherever these are not garrisoned by gov~
ernment troops.
The Marla Christina only yesterday bom-
barded and laid in ashes two Pinar del
Rio settlements of. importance beyond
Mariel upon the north coast. The official
reports described them as “rebel posi-
tions. ” '
Spain's Eye on the Bermuda.
OTTAWA, Nov. 25.—The Spanish consul
at Montreal has called the attention of the
Dominion minister of marine here to the
steamer Bermuda, now at Halifax, under
charter to the West Indies, which he be-
lieves is starting out on a filibustering ex-
pedition to Cuba.
It appears that the Bermuda reported in
New York that she had lost her register,
and the British consul there granted the
captain temporary register to go to Hali-
fax, Where application was made for Brit-
ish register.
The vessel has been chartered by a repu
table firm at Halifax for the West Indies,
but the minister of marine wired today to
an Officer at that port to keep a. strict eye
on the vessel to see that nothing is done to
violate the neutrality laws.
Lindsay Says Congress “'lll Act.
FRANKFORT, Ky, Nov. 25. — United
States Senator Lindsay, a strong adminis-
tration man, expects decisive action by
congress regarding Cuba at the coming
session. He says:
“The revolution must result in inde-
pendence or in the practical extermination
of the Cuban. people. Humanity demands
that the useless destruction of property and
cruel waste of human life should come to
an end. If negotiation with Spain will
not avail, then there should be interven-
tion. Inthls movement the United States
must take the lead.”
The Sugar Bounties.
PORT LOUIS, Island of Mauritius, Nov.
25,—The sugar planters of this island
have decided to join with those‘ of the West
Indies in making representations to the
British government regarding the sugar
bounties paid by foreign countries, with
the view to bringing about some counter-
action which may enable the planters here
to compete more fairly with their foreign
rivals.
Labor Riots In Germany.
HAMBURG, Nov. 25.—A dispatch from
Lubeck announces that serious labor dis-
turbances broke out there. While the em-
ployees of Thiel’s enamel factory were go-
ing to work, a. body of strikers belonging
to the same concern attacked the workmen,
and a. free fight followed. A number of
shots were fired.
Grain Exports From Montreal.
MONTREAL, Nov. 25.—The last exports
of grain from - this pert for the season of
1896 were on Saturday’s steamers, and this
port may now be considered closed. The
season’s exports include a total of 1, 905, 702
bushels of wheat and 6,481,420 bushels of
corn.
.The Death of Campanlni.
ROME, Nov. 25,—The only particulars
obtainable at present regarding the death
of Italo Campanini, the great tenor, is
that he died at his own home, near Parma,
several days ago, after a long illness.

THE autumn
The Crew Obliged to Cling All Day to
the Vessel’s Rigging. ‘
ONE BOAT’S CREW DROWNED:
Steamship ,Ran Aground In a Heavy Gale
Too Far From Shore For Life Lines
to Be Available—Excited Peo-
ple Looked on Helpless.
SAN FRANCISCO, N or. 24 --The Southern
Pacific railroad’s steamship San Benito is
atotal wreck two miles north of Point
Arena. How many of her crew have been
lost is not known yet. Eleven are known
to have been saved.
The San Benito left Tacoma for San
Francisco on Thursday last with a. coal
cargo of 5,000 tons and a crew of 43 men.
She was driven ashore two miles north of
Point Arena in a heavy gale. Five of the
crew were drowned at once, and ten others
were picked up by the steamship Point
Arena. The captain and 27 men clung to
the rigging.
The San Benito encountered a. heavy
southeast gale, with a driving rain, when
03 Point Arena, and it is supposed that
Captain Smith lost his bearings owing to
the thick Weather.
When the vessel struck, an effort was
made to launch the boats. The first one,
containing First Assistant Engineer Scott
and his companions, was capsized, and all
Were drowned.
The second boat, in command of Chief
Engineer Wood, with nine others on board,
was more successful and kept afloat until
picked up by the steamship Point Arena.
The other boats were dashed. to pieces
after leaving the davits, and those on board
were obliged to take to the rigging for
safety, as heavy seas were breaking over
the decks, and the collier, gradually set-
tling down upon the rocks, broke in two
amidships. '
The Point Arena was unable to approach
the wreck on account of the high seas run-
ning, and no assistance could be rendered
from shore, as the ship was fully an eighth
of a mile from the nearest point of land.
A life saving crew, with a rocket gun,
was summoned from Point Arena station,
but the gun would not carry far enough to
reach the wreck.
The steamship Weott arrived in the aft
ernoon and tried to assist the San Benito,
but found that she could do nothing, and
so steamed back to the port at Point Arena,
where she landed her gun for throwing life
lines. The gun was started overland at
once to the scene of the disaster.
The watchers on shore tried ’to send a
line over the wreck by shooting from shot-
guns and rifles, but without success.
After the vessel parted, just abaft the
smokestack and about amidships, the stern
portion swung around and drifted to‘with-
in 500 feet of the beach, while the forward
section, to which‘the crew were clinging,
turned broadside to the sea and then re-
mained stationary.
Lashed to the Rigging.
Captain William‘ Smith was lashed to
the crow’s nest of his vessel, encouraging
those about him not to give up hope.
A huge wave washed three sailors from
the mainmast, two of them sinking and
the third being dragged ashore by the life
saving crew more dead than alive. ,
Bonfires were lighted on shore, and by,
the glare from them it was seen that the
seamen were still struggling to retain their
hold in the rigging, continually drenched
by foam topped waves. The sea. was not
running quite so high, but was still rough
enough to prevent any attempt at rescue
by means of boats.
Men, women and children remained on
the beach. Kind hearted farmers brought
food and milk for all, though none cared
for a morsel. Men were shouting, women
were wringing their hands and weeping,
every one trying to do or'suggest some-
thing, but all to no avail.
The personnel of the crew is as follows:
Captain William Smith, Chief Officer Zol-
ling, Second Ofiicer J. Swan, Third Officer
C. Zile, Seamen A. White, G. Johnson, C.
Blanberg, C. Jansen, J. Perry, J. Benson,

Those known to be drowned are: 0. W.
Scott, first assistant engineer; F. Condon,
second assistant engineer; M. Pendergast,
fireman; M. Sheridan and one seaman.
On the steamship Point Arena are Chief
Engineer J. W. Wood and nine others,
Whose names cannot be learned.
The San Benito was a steel screw steam-
ship of 3,789 tons, built in Clyde in 1883,
and first known as the Kimberly. Subse-
quently she was remodeled at Newport
News and renamed San Benito, being. pur-
chased by therSouthern Pacific railroad.
A Later Report.
POINT ARENA, Cal, Nov. 24.—The re-
mainder of the crew on the wrecked steam-
er San Benito were rescued by a boat and
transferred to the steamer Weott. The
survivors, numbering 23, were taken to
Mendocino. _ The wreck is in the same con-
dition. The steamer San Benito will be a
total loss.

THE ARBUCKLE MYSTERY.
The Four Suspects Discharged by a New
York Police Magistrate. "
NEW YORK, Nov." .24 —The four men ar-
rested on suspicion of being implicated in
the robbery and death of Frank P. Ar-
buckle of Denver, who was found . last
Thursday morning dying in a vacant lot
on Eighth avenue near One Hundred and
Fifty-second street, were arraigned in the
,Harlem police court today and discharged.
he prisoners were Joseph Davidson, alias
Fagan, 20 years Old, 227 East Twelfth
street; George W. Stevens, aged 50, 344 East
One Hundred and Twenty—third street;
Henry Meyers, alias Muegen, 62 East Ono
Hundredth street, and Samuel Stewart,
alias Sheeny Sam, 231 East Twenty-fifth
streeet. Two women who were with Ar-
buckle on Wednesday night were in court,
and before the prisoners were arraigned
these two witnesses were taken into Magis-
trate Brann’s private examination room
ant their story heard. The women were
Ma e Radcliffe, 20 years old, and May
Hammond, 21 years Old. They testified
that they met Arbuckle at Union square at
4 o’clock on Wednesday afternoon after he
had left Colonel Feigl in front of Tam-
many hall. With him they went—to a the-
ater, and many times during the perform-
ance they testified that Arbuckle left
them and went out for a drink. On leav-
ing the theater, the women said, they went
with Arbuckle to a saloon in East Four-
teenth street, where they had dinner and
remained until 7 o’clock. He drank freely
during the dinner, they said. and when he
left the saloon they accompanied him.
Soon afterward, however, he disappeared,
and they saw no more of him. Save for
the fact that their testimony tended to
show that the man indulged in consider
able drink, they furnisihed no fresh facts.
When the prisoners were arraigned before
Magistrate Brann, Captain Kirschner of
the West One Hundred and -Fifty—second
Street station stated that he had no direct
evidence implicating them in the case. He
made a short affidavit to that eflect, and
the prisoners were discharged. Captain
Kirschner said that, while the police had
been unable to obtain evidence against the
prisoners, they felt justified in taking the
men into custody, as they believed that it
was their intention to rob the man.
MURDEROUS BURGLARS.
A Woman Stabbed to Death and Her
Husband Seriously Hurt. ,
HAZLETON, Pa, Nov. 24.—Mrs. Casper
Laboy of Nesquehoning was stabbed to
death and her husband seriously stabbed
by robbers, who forced an entrance into
Mr. Laboy’s house early today. Laboy
heard the robbers in the house and attacked
one of them, who stabbed him in several
places. Mrs. Laboy tried to reach the
street to call for help; but was met in the
hallway and stabbed to death. Three
Hungarians were captured shortly before
noon on the outskirts of the town. They
were con Fill with blood and cannot give a

LONDON, Nov. 24.—The Stay James Ga-
zette says that the government is meditat-
ing the appointment of a. commission to
investigate on the spot the critical condi-
tion of the sugar industry in the West In-
dies and adds, “Unless the government
meets the European bounties by duties on
beet sugar or an equivalent measure, the
ruined sugar planters of the West Indies
are liable to conclude that the stars and
stripes might do for them what the union
jack will not.”
The Riot In Cleveland. ,

SAILOR’S STORY.

An Old Salt§peaks in

The life of a sailor has many ups and
downs. The hardships of the man who
sails the busy deep are not appreciated
by. the land lubbers who know not what
it Is to struggle with the elements to
keep above water, it takes brawn and
muscle and good constitutions to stand
It. While men, even the hardiest, when
they return from nautical life find the
exposure has left them with a legacy as
a constant reminder of the past. And
often when a Jolly Jack Tar is relating
an experience, the back that has car-
l‘lPd. him through it all is burdened with
afar heavier burden. Our representa-
tive had a pleasant chat the other day
With Just such a man. A sailor for thirty
years. Thomas Cooney, » by name, a
Norwalk citizen, residing at No. 73
Harbor avenue. He has also held the
position of dockmaster for ten years,
and to add to the difficulties he has :had
to contend with, he fell from ‘a tree
when a boy, striking a fence. Thisl'ac-
czdent left him with back trouble. and
the life on the water sit-h its hardships
added their share until he found back-
ache was more or less a steady thing,
comma on from time to time.“ "Like
most people he did not understandfithat
It care from the kidneys, but reading
that Dean's Kidney Pills cured back-
ache he got a box at Hale’s drug store
and was surprised to find how quickly
they acted. “Why,” says Mr. Cooney,
"they simply cured'me, and you may
be sure I have a good word for Dean’s
Kidney Pills, they have done such good
win]: for me. I ‘shall be glad to tell
anyone about it who wishes to know.”
It’s like a case of mistaken identity.
Mr. Cooney did not realize that it was
kidney ache and that his kidneys were
injured, not his back, That exposure
had simply increased the kidney com-
plications. It’s easy for Doan’s Kidney
Pills to cure such cases.
