AMERICANS FLEE ron THEIR LIVES,
Mexican Poems Tcrrify the Colony at
MctIn1toynca.

SAN FRANCISCO Nov. 25.--Private ad-
vices received In the city today from the
American colony at Metlaltoynca, in the
state of Pueblo Mexico, give definite in
formation Of assasslnations by poems, which
the Mexican government has until now been
able to keep secret. There are several Cali
fornians in the colony and, in view Of re-
cent events they are fleeing to this country
for their lives. The Mexican government
has sent troops to the colony In the hope OF
capturing the assassns, who, during the
past four months, have murdered three
American settlers In cold blood. The colony
was formed about four years ago and num-
bers 200 souls. tract OF 100000 acres Of
land was secured at Metlaitoynca, midway
between Tampica and Vera Cruz. Most Of
tho colonists were prosperous farmers of
the United States, who disposed of their
property and invested the proceeds In i'm
proving their tracts in the colony. over
S6oO,O 900 was invested in improvements and
tho raising of coffee was begun. Pre- sident
Diaz and the Mexican government afforded
the colonists important aid and every en-
couragemcnt was offered them for the in
vestment Of their capital. The prosperity
of the colonists aroused the hatred OF the
Mexicans who perpetrated a series of rob-
berries. Cases of arson followed and finally
three murders were committed, all within
n month The victims were Thomas Gomez,
C. Delny and Charles Pilesen. San Fran
ciscan who has invested heavily In the col
ony stated today that reign of terror pre-
vailed at Metlaltoynca and that its effect
was bound to be disastrous to the colony
The peons he declared, were determined to
drive the settlers from the country and
unless the government interfered their ef-
forts would succeed. 1t is alleged that the
State department has been made acquainted
with the facts and that the Mexican govern
ment would be called upon to make thor
ough investigation of the facts and to AFFORD
American citizens the protection they need
CITY OF MEXICO. Nov. 25.-Six cavalry
men have been dispatched to Metlaltoynca
and rigorous investigation is being made
in the recent murders OF the three colo
nists. letter from an English colonist
received today, says the trouble arose from
the failure of certain colonists to pay their
laborers, who took revenge apon them. The
government will severely punish the per-
petrators OF these deeds. There Is no truth
In the story of the hatred OF the Mexicans

pressed the opinion that So 900 sound money
democrats of Iowa cast their votes for Nc
Kiney, but believed there were $4,000 more
sound money democrats who voted for Bryan
because he was the nominee of the demo-
cratic party but who could be reclaimed to
the sound money cause. The following reso-
luton was adopted:

ference, composed of members OF the ma
uonal democratic party, that the present
seat of organization of the party be contin-
ued, and that we pledge our moral and fnan-
cial support In the campaign of education

dress consists of Colonel l.. NJ. Martin, w. w.
Wilmer of Des Moines; N. p. Harrington,
Oskaloosa; Senator T. p. Perry, Abba; G. ii.

party organization in order to be prepared
at any time to throw its votes and influence
in one direction 1t was also decided that It
would be best to lend the moral support OF
the organization to the Mckinley administra-
tion when II comes into power.

States guarantee the fulhllment Of

Never; the United States are re-
sponsble for everything that is

true authors of the war, and guarantee
you that II Spain loses Cuba the United
States will pay Spain what Cuba Is worth
The MORO damages ere now costing them

of them amount to a hundred times more.
They threaten Europe with the Mcnroe doc
trine, and Spain in the interest OF Europe

FRENCH MINISTRY ESCAPES AGAIN.
Serious Defeat Narrowly Avcrted by
n Tactical Move.

PARIS, Nov. 25.-The ministry had mar
row escape from defeat in the Chamber to-
day. During the discussion of the esti-
mates Rambaud, the minister of education,
resisted a demand of the radicals for the
immediate installation of lay mistresses In
900 elementary schools, which are still In
the hands of the nuns, instead of waiting
until the nuns had resigned or died. This
radical motion was on the point OF being
carried, VIXEN NJ Frantze, the reporter of
the budget committee, insisted that such a
resolution, involving a large increase In
expenditures, must first be submitted to the
committee. This point saved the situation
and gives the government an extra
day to collect its forces. The radicals
are chagrined at the loss of their expected
victory and will undoubtedly redouble their
efforts to embarrass the ministry.

Premier del Castillo Denies Some of
the stories In Circulation.
MADRID, Nov. 25.-The premier, Senor
Canoyas del Castillo, was questioned today
on the subject of the contradictory reports
circulated as a result OF the unexpected re-
turn of the captain general OF Cuba to Ha-
. vana from Pinar del Rio, where he had been
personally conducting the operations of the
Spanish troops against Maceo's insurgents.
The Spanish premier said in substance that
there was no truth in the report that Gen
eral Weyle: had been recalled and 1t was
equally untrue that his recall was contem-
plated. On the contrary, he added the
government had given General Weyler free
hand in the task of suppressing the insur-
rection and the ministers had confidence he
would be successful
HAVANA. Nov 25-The report OF the
death of Sarafin Sanchez, the insurgent
leader, appears to be fully confirmed AL
vices from Santa Spiritus, province OF Santa
Clara, say his family has gone into mourn

graphed to General Arlo, saying he is salts

In the defense OF the military line adding
that the step answers his wishes in every re-
spect At Chivos, province of Matanzas, the
insurgents recently kidnapped a well known
resident named Mauricio Suarez and his
ransom not being procurable the man was
hanged.
Antonio Lopez Colima, who was the first
nsurgent leader to rise In MatanZas, Will
be shot tomorrow In the Cubanas fortress.
Tho statement made in London that an
armistlce was probable in Cuba is rldiculed
here. The Associated press is authorized
to state that Captain General Weyler will
In no event commend the idea of n truce,
more especially at the present time Nor
does he believe that the home government
will entertain any such proposition, whether
coming from interested parties or out
siders.
The story published in New York to the
effect that there had been a rupture be-
tween Weyler and the Spanish residents
is pronounced from official sources TO be
n fabrication. No dispatch has ever been
sent from Havana asking for Weyler's re-
tirement. Captain General Wcyler has
neither been asked to resign nor is General
Pando expected In Havana to relieve him.
1t is pointed out that the Spanish SYM
pathizers are not losing confidence and that,
on the contrary, their enthusiasm Is in
creaslng. as shown by the quick response
to Weyler's call for volunteers for active
service.
