earnest request Of Mr.. whitney and
others I am going to Chicago with him
to give whatever help can in the strug-
gle in the Democratic party for sound
money against free silver. My own views
on the subject are well known and
have often been stated. Believing the
issue to be of the greatest importance not
only to the public but to the present and
future Of the Democratic party. I cannot
remain inactive II it is thought can be
of any service at Chicago.
81 cannot, however, go to Chicago
under the least suspicion that am there
for any personal reasons. Nor can I take
part In this fight embarrassed by any
personal interest in the result. I shall,
therefore, decline to have my name
presented to the convention as q candi-
date. believe in making the stoutest
fight possible for sound money and the
gold standard and shall not give up the
fight until the votes are recou ated.
81 consider it both my duty anda priv
ilege to take part in this struggle, and
l shall do it with my whole heart, un-
embarrassed by any personal considera-
tions, and in the earnest hope and belief
that the Democratic convention will be

PROsPECT PLEAseS WEYLER,

PROSPECT PlEASES WEYLER,
Thinks He Can Defeat Cuba With &C, 900
More Troops and Another Year to Do 1t
in.
Havana, June 22.-It is reported on
good authority that Captain Gen. Weyler
is pleased with the aspect of the military
affairs in the island, and that the govern
ment has expressed its approval Of his
plan of campaign. He is confident with
the reinforoements of 10000 men,
promised by the minister of war, that he
will be able to crush the rebellion and
will return triumphant to Spain in June
next. 1t is his intention to send 30, 600
of the new troops. when they arrive to
the province Of Pinar del Rio, where they
will be employed in crushing Maceo. The
other 90, 900 will be used to strengthen
the Juintaro Trocha
These reinforoements will enable Gen.
Weyler to dispense with the services of
volunteers at present doing garrison
duty.
Andres Hernandez Rodriguez and
Miuel Alfonso Cabrera, were shot in the
Cabanas fortress today for the crime of
rebellion. The rebel leader Monies de
Oca has surrendered to the Spanish au-
thorities at Sagua.
Last night body of rebels fired upon
the fort protecting Gunabaooa, just
across the bay from Havana. They were
repulsed by the garrison. Another band
attacked the town of Arroyo Arenas,
twelve miles from Havana. They also
were repulsed. On their retreat they
burned several houses at Centaranas,
close to Arroyo Arenas.

New York, June 2a.-The World this
molning says: The American three
massed schooner Mabel Hooper of Rock
land, Me-, which arrived at Brooklyn
yesterday brought news of fresh atroci-
ties by the Spanish troops in Cuba.
The Hooper sailed 10 days ago from
Sagua on the north coast of Cuba and
in Santa Clara province. While at that
port the American consul to Id the cap
tain OF the Hooper in substace this story
The Spanish commander OF the post
there had orders from Havana to see
that all tobacco planted near Sagua
should be taken to that city. A large
tobacco plantation about three miles
south of Sagua is owned by Mr.. Gonzales,
said to be an American citizen. The
Spanish commander summoned Mr..
Gonzales to his headquarters and asked
him why he had failed to comply with
the captain generals proclamation. Mr..
OouIaIeS explained tDau Gne spanish
troops had taken all his horses and cattle
and he could not cart his tobacco.
81 am satisfied with your explanation, -
said the Spanish commander, Hand you
may return to your plantation.
The Spaniard then sent for a young
lieutenant and instructed him to take a
guard and escort Mr.. Gonzales to his plan
tations Upon arrival at the plantation
MIR. Gonzales was met by his wife and
their five small children. "You may
enter your house," said the lieutenant,
land you will remain there until send
for you."
Shortly after the soldiers piled lot of
dry grass and shavings about the house
and set fire to it. The smoke soon COM
pelled the family to leave and as they
walked out of the rear door, the front of
the building being in flames, all were
shot down.
The lieutenant reported to his COM
mander that Con zales and his family
"had tried to escape'' and were shot
down because they 'disobeyed 'orders by
leaving the house.
Gen. Gomez arrived near Sagua some
days later at the head of an army said to
number 1000 men. When he learnad how
the Spaniards had killed Mr. Gonzales
and his family he was furious.

CHARMING Los ANGELES.
Delight Of a Trip to the Top Of Mount
Lowe.
Interesting Sights and Scenes Around
the Metropolis of Southern
California.

Eds. 'sRecord- Union: I arrived in
Los Angeles the Goth Of February. My
first observation was the drought that
existed to such an extent that their
crops were likely to prove a failure all
through the entire country. There has
been considerable change since I was
there ten years ago in the appearance OF
the streets. Only a few adobe" houses
now, where there were many then; the
land has been bought and built on by
enterprising citizens, which has added
very mucn to the beauty of the city,
and the evergreen hedges cultivated
there are more desirable than any ex-
pensive fence that can be placed either
around a yard or field.
A majority of the most valuable
homes have large and well-kept lawns;
alongside Of the streets shade trees are
also the rule. The graceful pepper tree
grows to an immense. size, the eucalyp-
tus spreads its branches and makes a
very desirable shade. While l was
waiting for a street car the day after
my arrival I heard some conversation
that interested me. A strange gentle
man remarked to a citizen, I wish l had
stopped at Sacramento to see the coun-
try"
'sOh," he replied, that would have
been time lost. 1t is so hot there they
are burning up one-half of the year,
and the other half the streets are COW
cred with mud"
When the stranger was left alone, /
went to him and told him that was a
great mistake; and that if he would
come to our city he would not only re-
ceive a cordial welcome, but he would
find we did not have drop too much
rain to mature our crops that yield our
abundant harvest with which we are
blest And we have our churches and
public buildings, Chamber of Commerce
and many desirable things.
Il hope we can introduce you to Sac
ramento, and you win enjoy seeing our
beautiful garden city and feel paid for
the brief delay on your journey" ]
said. He promised me he would, on his
return, if he made trip to Alaska.
That afternoon 1 went to the Cham
Der of Commerce, which is situated in
the business part of the city. I was
very much interested in the exhibit.

London, January IA meeting Of the
International Arbitration League was
held here today. Sir John Lubbock pre-
siding. A resolution was adopted de-
claring that the dispute beween the
United States and Great Britain was the
trumpet call to English speakers on both
sides of the Atlantic SUNNI oning them
to devise means to secure arbitration of
future disputes and promoting friendship
and abating animosity. 1t was suggest
edjto the government that the present
was fit occasion for effecuing resolu-

arbitration. A committee was nomi-
mated consisting of the Bishop of Dur

less there would be difficulties in Great

being the scope of it's reference. 1t should
be universal but that is very large or

to declare the refere noe barred on the
