Spanish Commander and One
of His Generals Have a
Sensational Clash.
Former Denounced in Bitter
Terms and Challenged to
Fight a Duel.
Ordered a Young Officer to
Commit Suicide to Escape
Courtmartial.

KEY WEST, Fla, Aug. 17.-Captain
General Weyler and General Ochando
were the principals in sensational
affair which occurred shortly before
the latter sailed for Spain. The death
of General Ochando's nephew, who was
q lieutenant in the Spanish army, was
the cause of the trouble. There were
ugly rumors in circulation rejecting on
the young lieutenant, who was accused
of conducting a reasonable correspond
ence with Maximo Gomez, the insur-
gent chief. When Weyler heard of the
rumors he summoned the young man
to the palace and questioned him.
Weyler was apparently satisfied OF the
young mans guilt and told him that If
he did not commit suicide in "a hours
he would be courtmartialed and shot.
The lieutenant left tle palace, went to
his room, and in six hours was corpse,
having
Shot Himself Through the Heart.
The affair was hushed up and the Span
ish official report said the young man
died Of yellow fever. Shortly after
wards General Ochando arrived In
Havana and learned the true story OF
his nephew's death. He was greatly
enraged. He Immediately went to the
palace to call Weyler to account. The
meeting Of the generals was most SEN
sational. Ochando denounced Weyler
in the bitterest terms, alleging that the
lieutenant was guiltless and had been
driven to his death Ochando termed
Weyler murderer and butcher and
challenged him to duel. The men
drew swords and would have fought in
the palace but for the interference OF
other officials. Two days later General
Ochando sailed for Spain. He is greatly
enraged and says he will make the
affair public when he reaches Spain and
demand Weyler's recall.
