today settled the damage suits brought
against the company and E. w. Nc
kenna, its former assistant general su.
perintendent, by John O'Rourke and
Robert Blair, by paying the PLAINTIFF a
Sun in release Of all claims mentioned
in the complaint. O'Rourke and Blair
were among the members Of the Ameri-
can Railway Union who were arrested
in July, 1894, upon warrants issued by
Court Commissioner Bloodgood, charg-
ing them with %obstructing the United
States mails and with conspiracy to de-
feat the ends If the interstate commerce
laws.
Upon the preliminary examination
there WAS no evidence to show that
either O'Rourke or Blair had anything
to do with the affair Of the mail traine,
or that they were even prominent in A.
Il. L. circles, and after q long consider
alton they were discharged by the COM
missioner. The men, who were bound
over, were indicted by the grand jury,
but their Cases were Lo!led by the

JUST LIKE HANNA
The Spanish Government Takes Les
sons From the United States
Campaign.
OBJECT LESSONS IN ORDER
Unless Weyler Wins He Will Be
Disgraced and R%epudiated in
Madrid.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-It is learned
here on authority that the Spanish gov
eminent has given Gen. Weyler to I'M
derstand that he must push his opera
tions against the insurgents agressively
and vigorously. Unless he soon achieves
a decisive victory over the Cubans, it is
believed he will be recalled. Gen. Wey.
Ter, it is understood, lie aware Of the al.
tentative, and his present campaign in
Pinar del Rio is expected to result in an
engagement that will put a new aspect
on the Cuban situation one way or the
other. The campaign, therefore, has be.
come to him a personal matter, and
knowing that his prestige and rank are
at stake, the Havana cables are being
watched with interest for news OF more
important battles than the skirmishes
and guerrilla fighting that thus far have
come by way Of them. Gen. Weyler has
all the troops that he can use. In view
of the fact that Spain is now making a
strong and almost supreme effort to SUBJ
due her insurgent colony and that q
crisis apparently is at hand, the presi-
dent will delay writing that part of his
forthcoming message on the Cuban stu
alton until the last moment before the
meeting Of congress. The position the
administration will take with reference
to Cuba in this message of the chief
magistrate will be largely determined by
the news received before Dec. Z. Should
the news be favorable to the Spanish
army, it is probable that the president
will continue to pursue his policy of
non-interference; should it be, on the
other hand, distinctly favorable to the
insurgent cause, and especially if it
should happen that Weyler were de-
feated, Cleveland might no longer hest
tate to recommend recognition Of their
rights as belligerents or some other action
equally undesirable to Spain.
