TO SUICIDE,
fxenerei OcOndO Demands Satisfac-
ton, and VIII Make 1t Warm
for WeyIer.

West, Fla, Aug. 16.-Captain Gen
Weyler and General Ocondo were
principals in a sensational affair
hch occurred shortly before the latter
Killed from Spain. The death of Gener-
Ial Ocondo's nephew, who was lieuten-
ant 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 conduct
ing a reasonable correspondence with
Maxine Gomez, the insurgent chief. When
Weyler heard of the rumors he summoned
the young man to the palace and ques-
toned 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 the palace, went to mis-
room, and in six hours was a corpse, hav-
ing shot himself through the heart. The
affair was hushed up, and the Spanish
officials report said the young man died
of yellow fever.
Shortly afterward General Ocondo ar
rived 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
sensational. Ocondo denounced Weyler
in the bitterest terms, alleging that the
lieutenant was guiltless, and had been
driven to his death. Ocondo termed Wey-
Ter a murderer and butcher, and chal-
lenged him to a duel. The men drew
swords and would have fought in the
palace but for interference. Two days
later General Ocondo sailed for Spain. He
is greatly enraged, and says he will make
the affair public when he reaches Spain
and demand Weyler's recall.
