above zero, and at Havre and other
northern points the mercury registers

1t has been showing almost daily
here since election day. and the state
is covered with snow from four inches
to four feet, according to the altitude.
This cold snap at this time of the year
is unusual. and while it is a little hard
on cattle and sheep. the ranchers do
not fear any great loss.

both systems small bridges are weak

SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFRAY

Durango, Colo. Nov. lS.-A serious
shooting afrray took place neal Aztec.
Monday, and as a result II man is
dead, another dangerously wounded
and the man who provoked the quar-
rel slightly injured. The dead man. B
F. Gilman, was brought to this city
at 3 o'clock tonight and the remains
will be shipped to Green Leaf. Kansas.
for burial.
The three men lived on the same
ranch where the shooting occurred
The ranch belonged TO a Mr.. Hart and
was rented by Gilman. The trouble
occurred about 9 o'clock Monday morn
ing, near the corral on the place. Hart
and Gilman were both or horseback.
Hart first struck Gilman over the head
with his gun. knocking him OFF his
horse. He thon shot one Savoia and
then Gilman shot, hitting Hart in the
forehead. Gilman was en- the far side
of his horse when this occurred and
Hart ran around the horse and shot
Gilman in the back, the ball passing
downward through the bladder and alb
domen and lodging just above the left
groin. Gilman at this time empticd
his revolver. a 32-calibre. at Hart, two
shots taking effect in Harris arm.
The condition OF Savoia is reported
as being favorable for recovery. He was
shot just above the right hip, the ball
passing around the body and lodging
against one OF his ribs. Sayoia feels no
particular pain and does not believe
any vital part was touched by the ball.
He will be brought to Durango tomOr-
row and the ball removed. There is
considerable feeling at Aztec over the
unprovoked shooting and Hart is con
demned on all sides.

regarding Captain General Weyler's
operations against the insurgents in
Pinar Del Rio was allowed to leak out

yesterday was between ZOroa and Can
delria. In spite OF the fact that the
weather has greatly improved in Pinar

health of the troops in the field show
improvement, 700 sick men have al
ready arrived here and 300 more are
expected t reach the city during the
day. Local newspapers are raising a
popular subscription to provide funds
with which to make Christmas pres
ents to troops. and each newspaper
with this object in view will publish a

AS TO

Cleveland, O., Nov. 1S.-Speaking of
his trip to Canton to an Associated
Press representative today, National
Chairman NJ. A. Hanna said he made
the journey simply to pay his respects
to the president-elect and to discuss
with him the details Of the Inaugural
ton ceremonies.
1T seems to have become the GUS

al chairman to appoint the commit

have supervision of the Inauguration

ley was largely to discuss these mat

Asked in regard to Major McKinley's
visit to Cleveland, Mr.. Hanna said:
Il think the president-elect and his
wife will come to Cleveland for a time,
as Don as Mrs. Mckinley's health will
permit. She has been quite il, having
beer threatened with pneumonia, and
her recovery is slow, though she is now
able to go out in a carriage"
Mr.. Hanna stated that nothing what
ever had been mentioned between the
p~resident-elect and himself in regard
to a trip south. 1t is possible that Mr.,
and Mrs. Mckinley will be the guests

Toronto, Ont, Nov. 1S.-The Even
ing Telegram sem a representative to
Canton to interview P~resident-elect
Mckinley on matters which will be in
teresting to Canadians. but especially
to his views concerning reciprocity.
Major Mckinley, however. was non
committal. He regretted his inability
to make any prohesy as to the results
of reciprocity negotiations.
Il do not know said he, what the
e congress will do concerning the
tariff. OF course the question of recip-
rocity will be one of the things to be
considered, for it will be certainly pre-
sented.'
Mr.. Mckinley sent this message to
the people of Canada:
Il hope that the amity and good feel
ing between the two countries will con-
tinue and thai we may know more of
each other as the years 60 on. We have
so much in ommon that we are justi-

WEYLER MUST RESIGN.
HE HAS HAD A RUPTURE WITH
THE HOME GOVERN
MENT.
1t is Conceded on All Sides That His
Leadership Against Macc) Has
Ended in Signal FuilurC-The
Cuban Too Crafty for the Span
lard.

Havana. Cuba. Nov. lS.-It appears
to be a positive fact that General Wey-
Ter has been asked 10 resign on accOunt
of an open rupture with the hOIle gov
eminent. Private dispatches have been
received to the effect that Wcyter has
resigne,..
General r'arIo, it is thought, may
succeed him. 1t is conceded On all
sides that his personal leadership of
the forces against Maceo has ended in
a most signal failure. He is openly
criticised here by all parties. The at
tempts of the Spanish to maia vic
tories out of the s~o-called captIre of
rebel strongholds of Pinar del Rio are
laughed at.
Maceo, with the science of Fabian.
always retreated in time to defea; Wey-
ler's tactics.
Maceo. it is conceded, is short ammu-
milton, which is his greatest reason for
his not accepting battle.
There is a spirit OF unrest in this
town that permeates everything. The
people who are Spanish sympaihizers
seem to have lost confidence in SPANS
ability to crush the revolution.
The attempt to recognize the Cuban
revolutionary junta here was promptly
nipped in the bud. The secret Meeting
of newly nominated members If the
Havana committee in a house on Com
postela street was surprised last night
by the police, who captured the entire
party. including the president and the
treasurer. Among the arrests were
Miguel Coimbra, Veneura Fcrrera.
Rafael Arrange. Oscar Romero, TeO-
doro Ocampa and Pablo Riveru Cab
rera.
All are now in close confinement
awaiting a preliminary examination.
The arrests caused a local sensation.
A Spanish censored cable from Ha-
vana states that all the Cuban posi-
tons in the Rubi mountains have been
taken. Between the lines may be read
4 Cuban victory.
General Weyler, in his first battle,
captured a minor Cuban outpost. To
accomplish this he used six generals
and 10000 picked men. 1t toOk two
days of hard fighting to do it..
He has lost the use of the best gen.
eral. many officers and men. The Gu
bans have lost practically nothing.
Major BaZan of the Spanish ccm-
mander's staff arrived here today from
the front. He says that the operations
are most difficult and adds that the
captain general slept two rainy nights
on the ground and without blankets.
and that he has been several times
without meals.
