Spanish Outrage: Denounced—Why Delgado Escaped Death—Cap- tain Genoral’s Recall. .. __ NEW YoRK, Jan. 14.—The following let- ter was received today by a gentleman in this city who is deeply interested in the Cuban cause and receives frequent com- munications. It was secretly conveyed into Havana and smuggled from there to Key West: “BAJA, Province of Pinar del Rio, Jan. 1.-—Informa.tion has just been received here of the audacious falsehoods told by Weyler and his officers concerning the strength of the insurgent forces and their condition. “Weyler has in .this province 35,000 troops besides those on the trocha, but he has never penetrated the hills, as he has claimed. The insurgents have now in Pinar del Rio 1,500 men more than they had in September last. They have plenty of ammunition. The troops are well dis- ciplined. The death of Macao has so an- gered them that they are wild to face Wey~ [er and his forces. The situation with them has never even been pressing. and nobody knows that better than Weyler, himself. “All the people who have been killed in Pinar del Rio have been the ‘pacifled’ and their families. These are the country peo— ple who did not give up their homes and go into the cities, as ordered by Weyler. “ The brutality toward the women and the young girls has been revolting and shocking. For the United States to per- mit these daily massacres and outrages to go on, with indifference, is beyond compre- hension. . Why Delgado Escaped. “It has been given out here that the rea— son why the life of Harry Delgado, the Mail and Express correspondent, was saved was that he was taken for either Colonel Ricardo Delgado or Colonel Pedrico Del- gado of Florida, on whose heads there was a reward of some $4,000 or $5,000, but there was another reason. “When the soldiers brought Harry Del- gado into the outpost, General Melquizo, the most bloodthirsty of. Weyler’s officers, was in command‘. He was about ordering Harry Delgado then and there to be killed, but when he learned his name he counter- manded the order and had him sent to Ha— vana, for it was Melquizo who tried to kill and supposed he had killed Dr. Jose Del- gado, who is now at Washington pressing his claim against Spain, and, knowing how nearly he brought Spain and the United States to war on this account, the Spanish commander spared Harry Del- gado’s life. “The young man is still in the San Am- brosia hospital, and I am informed that the authorities are willing to release him, Without a trial, after his :recovery, if old Dr. Delgado, who was beggared by the Spaniards, will give up his claim for in- demnity against the government of Spain. The claim is said to be for $200,000 or $300,000.“ ‘ News Via Key “fest. HAVANA, Jan. 14, via Key West—Cap- tain General Weyler is in a very bad hu- mor, and there seems to be good reason for his so being. He was with difficulty dis- suaded a day or so ago from sending Senor Pena, correspondent of the Madrid He— raldo, to Morro castle, and the newspaper man in question is not yet safe from the Spanish commander’s wrath, aroused by the adverse criticisms of the conduct of the campaign in Cuba and the administra- tion of the affairs of this much disturbed island. To such a degree has the captain general felt his ill temper that nobody out- side of his military and civil advisers has been able to see him since his last return from the field. That he is in danger of re- call nobody here for a moment doubts in spite of the many official and semiofl'icial denials from Madrid, for it is recalled that the same course was followed by the gov- crnment in the case of the recall of Mar- shal Martinez de Campos. The latter had the sympathy of his most bitter enemies to a certain degree. They admitted his ster- ling qualities as a soldier and a gentle- man, although they opposed his methods in Cuba. It is true that a great deal of this feeling may have been due to the fact that Campos on his side had a. kindly feel- ing for the Cubans, due, no doubt, to his more extended acquaintance with the is— land. and its customs, obtained during the previous insurrection, which, after a num- ber of successes, he brought to an end by agreeing to the main concessions demanded by the Cubans. Weylcr’s Complete Failure. Weyler, however, cannot be honestly said to have achieved a single success, diplo- matic, administrative, ”military 01' other- wise. Like another famous general, he has “been up the hill and down again,” and that is the sum and substance of his “victories” in Pinar del Rio or elsewhere. There are probably more insurgents, better armed and supplied, in Pinar del Rio at the present moment than at any time since the insurrection broke out, and no sane person can believe in the “pacifica- tion” of that part of the country until Weyler produces the 10, 000 rifles, machetes, pistols, etc., with their ammunition, which he has practically admitted were to be found there, for he once openly remarked that the western part of that province alone contained 7,000 armed men and large additional “bands”of insurgents were hov— ering about his trocha. What has become of this enemy? Has it vanished int-o smoke? Hardly! The arms and the am- munition have in a great part been care- fully concealed, the men have scattered in the old time Indian way, and many are playing “pacifico” for the time being, ready at the right moment to resume the offensive. The Spanish commander sent 50,000 men against the little insurgent army, and the latter, acting with admira- ble strategy, seemed to disappear, and the best efforts of the Spanish generals have failed to discover their whereabouts. Thus the wearisome compaign pro- gresses. Every day sees the Spaniards weak- er, every day witnesses the waste of more men and ammunition. Every hour strengthens the Cuban cause and brings the struggling patriots a step nearer to their ultimate goal—freedom. - Spanish “Warfare." , The Spaniards are burning the insur- gent iospituls and slaughtering the helpless sufferers, according to all reports. Indeed the official Spanish reports frequently an: nozzle-c the destruction of insurgent hos“ pitals. . . . ;' Therefore it is that even the Madrid} THE'EVENINe3uaZnTr nevaapcrs intimstn thatTchrler is “out of his center,” as mm writer put it, prob-v ably meaning to use a ; :zpular baseball ex- pression. The civil governor is known to be using his in flueucc with the commercial bodies here in order to bring about Wey- ler’s recall, and protests against his con- duct have bczn sent- to Madrid reCently in great numbers and couched in the most emphatic terms of disgust and disapproval. All efforts to cable such matter to Madrid ' from here have been frustrated by the cap- tain general. But this has not prevented several urgent messages being sent from Key West to Madrid, and it is believed the action taken will not fail to have the de- sired end in the near future. The movement against Weyler has its roots in the most influential circles here, the very quarters where Spain counts her stanchest supporters, and therefore it is can much longer ignore the fact that little_ or nothing can be done toward the. real solution of the Cuban question so long as Weyler is captain general of the island. His military incapacity is not the only feature complained of. The air is full of rumors of wasted funds and rotten con- tracts, of soldiers suffering from lack of food, medicine and ammunition, which. on the other hand, is said by some means or other to have fallen into the hands of the insurgents or to have entirely failed to materialize. Eyen the army contractors have turned against the captain general, and that, as military men are aware, means a great deal. The rumor that Maximo Gomez was contemplating surrendering to the Span- ish authorities has been traced to Spanish official sources, as usual, and is pronounced by friends of the Cubans who are always well informed to be utterly incorrect. They add that so long as General Weyler is in Cuba. no proposition lookingto a peace- ful settlement of the Cuban question will be accepted by the insurgent leaders, al- though it is known that a strong party of the insurgents now under arms is in favor of accepting a fair home rule proposition so soon as the details can be determined upon. No Clearance For the Dauntless. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—The account given by the master of the Dauntless of the recent movements of the suspected fili- buster, as contained in his affidavit, which reached the treasury department yesterday, is wholly unsatisfactory to the officials, and this fact has been communicated to the collector at Jacksonville, together with instructions not to grant the clearance asked for. Nothing further in the matter is likely to be done by the officials, for the present, at least, unless the Dauntless at- tempts to leave the harbor, when she prob- ably will be forcibly detained by the reve- nue cutters and possibly libeled. ACCIDENT IN A SHAFT. A Falling Crosshead Causes the Instant Death of Four luau. POTTSVILLE, Pa, Jan. 14.—A terrible accident, by which four persons were killed and one fatally injured, occurred at the new Wadesville shaft of the Philadelphia and ReadinQCoal and Iron company to- day. The dead are: Peter Tinco, aged 30; John Taylor, aged 24; Henry Flynn, aged 35; William Taylor, aged 40. Theodore Frankenstein, a. boy of 16, was so badly crushed that his recovery is impossible. The work of sinking the new shaft com- menced last March, the contractor in charge being Thomas Richards of Miners- ville. . The four men and the boy formed a part of the day’s shift. Soon after arriving at- the shaft they stopped on the rim of the large iron bucket to be lowered into the shaft. A big crosshead, weighing several hundred pounds, through which the rope passes, became frozen to the guides and did not move when the bucket started. When the men had got about half way down, the huge crosshead fell, striking the bucket. The men were hurled to the bot-tom of the shaft, a distance of about 300 feet. The four men were terribly mangled and must have been killed instantly. The Frank— enstein boy was terribly bruised. All of the workmen were experienced hands and are survived by families.

Nature intended that every woman sh 0 ul d look forward to the com- ing of‘her baby with joy and hope, unclouded l anxiety. Almost p: less, parturition is qt the usual thing amok uncivilized people.

MAGICIAN HERMANN’S CATCHIING OF BULLETS EXPLAINED.‘ How the Master of lilystery Was Able to - Escape Unharmed from the Fire of Expert National Guardsmen, Who Loaded Their Own Guns. Now that Herrman the Great is gone, there can be no harm in explain- ing how his wonderful trick of catch- ing the bullets shot at him by six Na- tional GuardSmen was done. On two occasions the famous presti- ‘ digitateur stood alone upon the stage, while six picked marksmen from the State National Guard fired point blank upon him from a platform built in the audience. On both occasions Herr- mann, pale of face and painfully alert, caught the bullets, previously marked by a committee of noted army men, and handed them back for identifica- tion. I 3 Of course it was a trick, but it was a dangerous trick, and one that Herr- mann disliked to do. But even he was less nervous than the marksmen, who, acting in perfect good faith, feared that they might kill the plucky magi- cian. Many have been the alleged explana- tions of this trick published in various newspapers. They have m1 been . wrong. Herrmann himself told how it was done, and here it is:— -. Of course .there was an accomplice, and this accomplice was not one of the- marksmen, but the sergeant in'chargc of them. This sergeant took the six regulation army bullet cartridges on a silver platter to the committee. The committee examined them, made, sure they were genuine, marked them . plainly and replaced them on the plat- ter. The sergeant instantly raised the platter in plain sight at arm’s length above his head: walked over to the marksmen, and they themselves each took a cartridge, examined itand placed it in‘ the rifle. ' ‘hen came the shooting. The trick lay in the platter, which had a false bottom. Under this bot- tom lay six other cartridges, identical in size, weight and appearance, but holding bullets made of a composition of plumbago and mercury. When the sergeant held the platter aloft, he touched a spring and by a clever me- chanism these six “fake” cartridges jumped into the platter, while the 'gen- uine cartridges disappeared beneath the false bottom. So it was the composition cartridges that the marksmen unknowingly put into their rifles, and on firing this com- position was instantly melted by fric- tion through the barrels and dissipated in the air. Meantime, however, the supposedly empty platter was taken behind the wings, where the genuine cartridges were drawn out, quickly heated and- carefully placed by an attendant on a table, where Herrmann, just " before the firing, carelessly picked them up and palmed them. Holding them in his hands during the firing, he imme- diately produced them as the smoke cleared. \ A simple trick, but a very dangerous one, for if the platters mechanism failed to work completely, one 01' more of the genuine cartridges might have got intb the rifles of the marksmcn.— New York Herald.
