vi WEYLER TO TRY AGAIN He Will Make Another Great Effort to i Capture Maceo’s Forces. SPAIN TRIED TO BUY SHIPS. She Wanted Chile to Sell Her Four “Val Vessels, but Was Told That the Prop- osition Could Not Be Enter- tained—Our Own Defenses. HAVANA, Nov. 80.-—Captain General Weyler left Artemisa yesterday and arrived last night at San Cristobal, accompanied by a correspondent of the Madrid Impar- cial. Correspondents of the Madrid Heral- do and El Liberal do not like the privilege which Captain General Weyler has accord- ed to the representative of a single news— paper. General Weyler was received with en- thusiasm at Guanajay. While at this place he visited the magnificent hospital and the buildings where are the infirmaries for the purpose of caring for soldiers ill from yellow fever and smallpox. General Weyler stopped at the beds of the difi‘erent soldiers, and for each he had a word oi syinpathy and consolation. He expressed himself as being well pleased with the results of his latest in- spection of the island. He added that he was convinced that horse thieves and cat- tle thieves were the two great aids in the keeping up of the rebellion, and he has de- cided upon a policy which will reshlt in the punishment of all persons of this char- actor. The captain general arrived at Holguin today, bringing with him some prisoners of war. Confidence In \Veyler. Citizens of Havana are pleased that General Weyler is again to direct person- ally operations on the field, and they re- gard it as a guarantee of the speedy paci- fication of the province of Pinar del Rio. Three hundred Havana volunteers left here today for Pinar del "Rio, and more are expected to go tomorrow. President Lonja Vivcres of the Grocers’ Exchange; Jose Jane, a prominent mer- chant, and Miguel Berenguer, a well known citizen here, and other prominent. residents deny that there is a growing feel- ing of hostility on the part of the Span- iards in Havana against American citi- zens. They denounce as emphatically false the report recently circulated that the an- archists recently held a reunion at the Grocers’ Excharge. This report, they say, is an invention of the rabble for the pur- pose of exciting the Americans and their friends against the Spanish in Cuba. They \Vould Fight Us. President Lonja Viveres declares that Spanish residents interested in legitimate mercantile transactions fully appreciate the conduct of the American government, and, he insists, they have nothing but words of praise for President Cleveland. On the other hand, he asserts that if the _ Americans should provoke a war with Spain all of the Spanish in Cuba, as one man, would take up arms for the defense of the national honor and the sovereignty of the island. A son of Consul General Lee sends the following to La Lucha: “In view of the wild and unauthentic re: ports concerning my father now being cir- culated by the American press, I respect- fully ask you to publish the following: “I am able to state through his letters that the consul general, who is now in Virginia, will return to Cuba in the near future. He declines to be interviewed by all the newspapers, but they, however, Continue to publish statements purport- ing to come from him, which statement! are merely reporters’ canards and never uttered by him. ' “FITZ HUGH LEE, Jr.” Lopez Coloma was executed at Cabanas Thursday at sunset. He was slapped in the face by the commanding Officer for crying out, “Viva Cuba libre!” before he was shot. One hundred and twenty-one Cu bans were arrested in Havana and ban- ished to the Chafarinas islands. Wouldn’t Sell to Spain. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, Nov. 30.-—-From reliable sources it has been learned that the Spanish government asked Chile to sell the new cruiser Esmeralda, 5,000 tons, 23 knots, also the small battleship Congreso, both of which will be ready to sail for Valparaiso next month. The Chilean cabinet informed the Madrid cab- inet through the medium of the Spanish minister at Santiago that the proposal could not be entertained. Similar advances by Spain were also made looking to the purchase of four fast torpedo catchers built for Chile at Yarrow’s yard on the Thames. Getting Our Guns Ready. PENSACOLA, Fla, Nov. -80.—Major F. A. Malian, United States engineer, in charge of government work in this harbor, arrived today with orders from the war department to select a site for another bat- tery of heavy guns to be located on the mainland near the ruins of old Fort Mc- Ree. The force of men at work on the battery of disappearing guns located on Santa Rosa island has been increased to 223. They are divided into three gangs, working day and night. It is expected that one bastion will be ready within 15 days. A Plague of Starfish. NEW HAVEN, Nov. 30.—The most de- structive starfish scourge in the history of the Connecticut oyster industry is now in progress. Mammoth swarms of the pest gather and extend a mile or more seaward. At Stamford the damage is particularly great, and the entire crop is threatened. The boatmen are working night and day, and one boat alone has a record of raising ten tons of starfish. The loss to the Stamford oystermen is estimated at $50,- 000, and the total loss thus far is thought to be $100,000. Took Paris Green. MIDLETOWN, N. Y., Nov. Sid—Mrs. Mar- garet Madden, 67 years of age, committed suicide yesterday by taking paris green. No cause is known for the act. Frozen to Death.

The Leading Manufacturers Have Formed a Combination to That End. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. til—The Press to- day says the lcading lockmakers of the country have just perfected a new combi- nation. It is one to regulate the prices of) locks in general, but more particularly I'unk locks, on which, it is claimed, prices have been ruinously low during the past two or three years. The manufacturers in the combination, who have “ganized under the name of the American Trunk Lock association, are the Corbin Cabinet Lock company of New Britain, Conn; .the Eagle lfiick company ' of Terryville, Conn. ; the Star Lock works of Philadelphia, the Yale and Towne Man- ufacturing company of Stamford, Conn., and Shrend & Son of Newark, N. J. All of the firms except the Yale and Towne company were in a combination formed in 1891, which was dissolved in 1893. Since that time, according to a statement made by a well known Philadelphia lock dealer, the lock manufacturers have been receiv- ing such‘low prices that they have been losing money. With the advent of the new association prices have been advanced from 25 to 30 per cent within the past two weeks, and there is every prospect of a further advance. Provision has been made, it is said, against any dissolution of the present combination for ,a term of five years by requiring all 01 the firms interested to make a cash deposit, to be forfeited in case of any out in prices. DAN STUART MAKES A BID. Be Offers a $15,000 Purse For the Corbett- Fitzsimmons Fight. DALLAS, Nov. 30.—-—Dan A. Stuart, hav- ing been advised that the police commis sioners of New York had declined to grant a permit to Warren Lewis for a limited round “go” at his-Seaside Athletic club, has authorized the publication of the fol- lowing: “I have ofi‘ered a purse of $15,000 to be contested for by Corbett and Fitzsimmons in a fight to a finish for the championship of the world. Each principal must deposit $2,500 as a guarantee of appearance in the ring. The time and place shall be an- nounccd when the men have signed arti cles of agreement, and the full amount t. the purse will be deposited when the sig natures of Corbett and Fitzsimmons have been obtained. This is my offer, and it has been wired to the principals. It is open and above board. That is the only kind of a game that I play, and I mean business. I shall leave for the cast in twc or three days to secure the signature oi Corbett. The battleground has been se- lected, and there need be no fears on that score. The proposition speaks for itseli and will be carried out to the letter.” OUR FLAG IN TURKEY. The State Department Contradicts Dr. Cy- rus Hamlin and Grace Kimball. WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.——The state de- partment authorizes ,the statement that the assertion made by Dr. Cyrus Hamlin that American women in Haskeui fled from massacre, not finding protection un- der the American flag, is an entire mis- take. “Equally unfounded,” says the depart- ment, “is the statement recently made in Chickcring hall, New York, by Miss Dr. Grace Kimball that only the English flag is respected in Turkey. During the massa- cre at Constantinople she hurried by otheI flags and found protection under her own flag and the escort of the American consul general. “Through scenes of mob violence all over Turkey our flag and missionaries have been protected by Turkish troops. Every peaceful American arrested or de- tained has been released on demand of the American minister.” PEACE IN THE TRANSVAAL. President Kruger Says the Rumors of Im- pending Trouble Are Untrue. PRETORIA, Nov. 30. —At a banquet here yesterday evening President Kruger dc~ clared that the rumors of impending trou- ble were untrue and spread by speculators. All was clear ahead, he added. The Lon- don convention assured the independence of the Transvaal, and if a change was de- sirable he would see that it was arranged constitutionally. Referring to the delay of the Transvaal government in claiming an indemnity from the British South Africa company in consequence of the Jameson raid, Presi- dent Kruger said that the delay arose from the desire not to make an excessive de- mand and because the exact expense was not yet computed. He ridiculed the idea that an invasion of Rhodesia was proposed and assured his hearers that the mining interests of the country would be fostered. The Hartford Club Sold. HARTFORD. Nov. 30. —The Hartford baseball team of the Atlantic league has been sold, Manager Barnie, now of the Brooklyn National league team, trans- ferring the papers.

They Result In His Organ Being De nounced For High Treason. BERLIN, Nov. 30.——Thc revelations oi the Hamburger Nachrichten, after all will not be allowed to pass without judicial in- quiry. The Frankfort Zeitung has carried out its threat and denounced the Hamburg- er Nachrichten before the state’s attorney for high treason, and the Kowigsberg Zei~ tung has done the Same. Both actions are due to these two newspapers being prose cuted by the government for indiscreetl) publishing state news. There is little doubt now that a parlia mentary conflict will occur during thi. session of the reichstag over the navai budget. Emperor William, speaking re- cently to Admiral von Hollman, secretary of the navy, is reported to have said: “The quest-ion of bringing the German navy to the point of being really formida- ble, not only for defense, but for aggres- sion, is one of life or death for the nation, inasmuch as it involves grossnidchtstellung of Germany as much as the state army does, and whoever loves the fatherland will help me to bring this about, as the German navy is at present wholly inade - quote for its mission in the future.” This imperial utterance is now circulat ing in reichstag circles and is much com- mented upon. It is certain that no ma- jority will be found in the reichstag for these projects. The Ccntrists and the en tire Radical wing are against it, which give an adverse majority of about 20.» FAMOUS SGORUHERS HERE. Several Foreign Bicycle Racers Arrive to Compete \Vith American Cracks. NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—A large delega- tion of foreign cycle racers arrived on the steamer St. Pau , including the famous Linton brothers of Wales, Chappelle, one of the youngest long distance racers in France; Lumsden, the veteran Scotch racer, and a coterie Of pacers. The men will train in New York until the six day race, which will start Dec. 7 at Madison Square Garden, after which they will tom the country. The team is under the management oi Edward Plinmer and contains some of the choicest racing talent of foreign countries. Linton holds the hour world's record at present, as well as the world’s ten mile record, which was recently made in Lon- don. Tom Linton’s countryman, James Mt... chael, who is now in America, is one 01 his greatest rivals, and for some time there has been an effort made to match these two men. Michael is at present in the west, but is expected to arrive in New York in a few days, when the race will probably be arranged. Eddie A. McDufl‘ee, the famous Boston racer, returned on the sane steamer afteI a brief European visit. He has challenged Monte Scott for a .25 mile race to take place this winter. GOTHAM’S MORGUE KEEPER. Suspended Because of the Alleged Myste- rious Disappearance of Corpses. NEW YORK, Nov. 30.—After spending 27 years in the service of the city as keeper of Gotham’s deadhouse, better known as the morgue, Albert M. White has been suspended by the charities commissioners. White is probably better known than any man in the employ of the city, occupy- ing a position which paid him the mod- erate salary of $60 a month, but notwith- standing which he has acquired the repu- tation of having accumulated a fortune of about $100,000. It has been whispered about Bellcvue hospital for some time that the disposition of the city’s (lead was not being made in a manner entirely satisfactory to Superin- tendent Murphy and the commissioners, and rumors of the mysterious disappear- ance of some bodies resulted in the com- missioners suspending White pending an investigation. White says that he courts and will in- sist upon a rigid investigation and adds that if he is dismissed by the commission- ers he will carry his case to the courts. Awaiting Annexation. CHICAGO, Nov. 30.—.Tohn S. Foster, ex- secretary of state, arrived in Chicago yes- terday on his way to Washington. from Honolulu. “The present Hawaiian ad- ministration is waiting for the inaugura- tion of President McKinley to make an- other effort to have the islands annexed,” said Mr. Foster. “The islands were never in a more prosperous condition than at present. It is recognized that the ulti- mate l’ate of the islands, if they are not annexed by the United States, will be an- nexation by some of the other great pow- crs.” Fined $400. .. BOSTON, Nov. 30.——A fine of $400 has been imposed by Judge Forsaith upon William A.
