WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts has returned to the
city from Canton, where he visited
President-elect Mckinley. In an inter.
view he said:
There is no place i'll the gift of the
president that would tempt me to give
up the position of senator from Massa-
chusetts. The very fact that went to
Canton would indicate, it would seem
to me, that had no application on file.

anyone to say anything for me. There

that he would starve MaceO out seems
likely T. be carried out, as from all re-
ports from Marlel, near where Weyler

carried ont fully. The Spanish army
sweeps everything before it, killing
beeves it cannot use, burning cane
fields and small stores with their pro-
visions, and leaving a wide waste of
ruin and desolation III its wake.
People vainly implore Weyler to
leave them provisions to keep them
alive but his brutal officers refuse with
oathS and insulting words, if not
worse.
Over Three Hundred Refugees
have come into Mariel since Weyler
went out this last time. all giving the
same story of rapine, plunder and muir
der. A Spanish guerilla captain named
ColaZzO is accused of numbering over
100 persons in the valleys 100 miles
south of Mariel during the latter part
Of November. In one instance he Is
accused Of confining number of
women and girls in church. and,
after they had been repeatedly abused
and maltreated by his men. burned the
building with them in it, Many other
outrages, all as horrible, are charged to
him and his company.
