WEYLER'S EMPTY THREAT.
From The plttsburR DisDatch.

The great trouble with the Spanish has been that
the Cubans were obstinate about coming to be
killed unless they could fight az suited them. How
Weyler will MANAGE to shed any more blood. unless
he kills non mbatants and murders prisoners is
puzzl,ng The threat OF fire Is even more OF
boomerang. Fire has been a terrible weapon in the
hands Of the insurgents They have spread terror
over the whole island by that means. Gomez has
burned the sugar-cane plantations. and left the
buildings standing. Does Weyer intend to burn
what Is left?

4 MYSTERIOUS VISITOR.
The United States Minister to
Turkey Arrives on a Secret
Mission.
Nothing to Say Until He
Has Reported to Secretary
Olney.

NEW YORK, n. Y, April 5.-Alexander
W. Terrill, United States Minister to Tur-
key, was a passenger on the Hamburg
American line steamer Furst Bismarck,
which arrived to-day from Mediterranean
ports.
Mr.. Terrill seemed to be in perfect health
and in perfectly good humor, but to all
questions regarding his mission to this
country he responded with the one
phrase, 1--WE absolutely nothing to say"
He said he would tell everything to Secre-
tary Olney, whom he intends to meet in
Washington tomorrow.
He was asked about the state of political
affairs at Constantinople, the Armenian
question and the doings of Miss Clara Bar
ton, who departed some time ago on her
mission of charity to those who are said to
be the victims of cruelty at the hands of
the Kurds and Turks, but he turned deaf
ear to all interrogations. He mechanically
repeated that there was nothing to be given
out.
Mr.. Terrell, it was said, would visit his
ranch in Texas Immediately after finishing
the preliminaries of his mission to Wash
ington.

LONDON, Eng, April 5.-The Standard
tomorrow will publish dispatch from
Buluwayo, furnished to it by a news
agency, saying that the Matabeles have
murdered hundred whites, and that 25C
are still missing.
CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, April s.
Frederick G. Selous, the hunter and ex-
plorer, who left Buluwayo with small
force to escort the mail coach FROM Mangua
to Buluwayo, has returned safely to the
latter place, which, according to dispatches
received here to-day. is quiet.
An ex-officer in the British army, who
is now a resident of the Rand in the
Transvaal, telegraphed to Buluwayo,
offering his assistance against the Mata-
beles. reply was sent to him, in which
it was said that Buluwayo declined to re-
ceive help from johannesburg.
There is much alarm at Mafeking, on
the Transvaal border, and farmers living
near that place are taking their families
into the town for protection. 1t is re-
ported there that natives in the district
threaten to rise against the authorities in
consequence of the slaughter of their cat

Asks for the Prayers of Sdtratton Army
Members.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 5.-Booth :
Tucker, the new commander of the Saliva
ton Army in the United States, made his
debut before a Philadelphia audience to-
day. Commander BoothTucker addressed
three meetings, two in the afternoon and q
third in the evening in Association Hall.
The meeting in Association Hall was by
far the most imposing OF the day, and was
largely attended. The name of Ballington
Booth was not mentioned by the speaker,
nor was anything said to indicate that the
army under his command would at all
clash with the new movement inaugu-
rated by Ballington Booth. The only ref
erence to the existing trouble made by
Booth-Tucker was as follows:
'In regard to the very painful circum-
stances that brought us here, 1 want to say
/ want your prayers. My wife wants your
prayers. As for the army, you need not be
anxious. With the help of God we are not
going to suffer materially. but we will
march on. If all the tbrigadiers, captains
and officers Of the Salvation Army were to
run away-if l were to run away-I feel
that others would rise up and take our
places

mond Thieves at Various
Hotels in Florida.
Between $4,000 and 100000 Worth
Of Jewelry Secured from the
Winter Resorts.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, April 5.-Dia-
mond thieves have been numerous in
Florida this season and have committed
robberies in hotels on the east coast from
st. Augustine to Royal Poinciana. 1t is
reported that the thieves have secured be-
tween $50, 600 and $4,000 in jewelry.
Among the heaviest losers is Mrs. Henry
Cutting of New York, who is stopping at
Ponce de Leon Hotel, in st. Augustine,
and her loss is estimated at $3.50 con-
sisting principally of family jewelry. The
suite OF Mr.. and Mrs. Camp at the Royal
Poinciana, Palm Beach, was also entered
and helrlooms of an actual value of $4,000
were taken.
The next robbery reported is that of
William Freeborn, retired merchant, of
Tivoli-on-the-H Hudson. He and his daugh-
ter have been guests of the Alcazar all
season. Miss Freeborn reports that her
jewelry case has been robbed and that her
jewels, valued at $4,000, have been taken.
Besides these there have been a number
of smaller thefts, some running as high as
$500, but SO far as known none of the
prominent crooks who have been run out
of the resorts in this State in the past few
days have been arrested on the charge of
burglary.

Ledges Rich in Yellow Metal
That Are Seldom Found the
Second Time.
FATE OF A FRESNO MINER.
Started for the Barren Tract Months
Ago and Has Not Since Been
Heard From.

FRESNO, CAL, April 5.-Another life
has been sacrificed to the determination
among miners and pro spectors to unearth
the hidden treasures of Death Valley. The
latest supposed victim known to people of
this community is D. K. Roberts. About
year ago Roberts made a perilous trip
across the Sierra Nevada Mountains from
Inyo to this county. Some time after that
he returned to Inyo County, and when last
heard from was about to start on pros
pecting tour into Death Valley. From
that day until the present no trace of him
has been found, and it is feared that he
perished in the desert His sister and
brother-in-law, Mr.. and Mrs. Ebrenburg
of San FRANCISCO. are here trying to find
some trace of him, but so lar they have
been unsuccessful.
Expeditions to seek for the fabled riches
OF Death Valley start out annually. This
great expanse of arid land, lying in the
fanamint Mountains in the southeastern
part of Inyo County, is about 400 feet be-
low sea level, and, except for few sources
OF springs along its mountain sides, is
entirely destitute of vegetation or water.
The heat, except in winter, Is constant
menace to life. Traditions, many of them
of Indian origin, are constantly being
repeated under new conditions and in
vested with new interest. Prospectors
often return from this valley with samples
of ore rich in gold and this inspires Others
to join in a search for these lodges.
Singular as it may seem, these lodges
are seldom ever found the second time.
Parties thus baff1ed often become wander
ers, going from point to point without any
fixed purpose in view. Water and food
give out, and the teams either die or re-
fuse to be urged forward. The fortune
hunters then wander on a-foot until death
closes the scene. Other miners and pros
pectors hear of the lost EI Dorado, and,
Notwithstanding that they may be ap-
prised of the fate of the previous expedi-
ton, go forth the next year in the hope
of gain. Roberts, it is thought, Joined
one of these parties. no member of which
has returned to tell the fate of his COM
rades.

STRANGE SUICIDE.
An Unknown Man, Pursued for Theft He Did
Not Commit, Blows Out His
9r0ine

CHICAGO, ILL, April 5.-An unknown
man committed suicide here this morning
while being pursued by the police for a
theft he did not commit. While leaving a
dance at Central Hall P. A. Strand re-
ported to TWO police officers that his over
coat had been stolen. A certain man
leaving the hall about the time looking a
little suspicious was followed. AS soon as
the suspect found out he was bein g
watched he ran, with the officers at his
heels. Two blocks away he pulled out
revolver and fired bullet into his head,
dying instantly.
1t has since been learned that the man
did not steal the overcoat, but it is be-
lieved the suicide had been planned. The
dead man was well dressed and he was not
manual laborer. He had cut from his
clothes all names of makers and had not
paper on his person from which his
identity could be traced.

The Times has received publication
