surrectfon.

HABANA, December 11.-Gcneral Wey-
Ter arrived here at half-past o'clock this
evening. He rode into the city on horse
back, accompanied by two squadrons OF
cavalry. His coming had been made
known to tho public. and large crowds
gathered to welcome him. He was given
O popular ovation from the time he
reached the city limits until he arrived
at the Palace. At some places along
his route girls strewed flowers In his
pathway, and he was in other ways treat
cd as a popular hero.
Gale Obispo, Gale O'Reilly, and the
other streets in the vicinity Of the Palace,
and the Plaza de Armas, were damned
with people, who enthusiastically cheered
the Captain-General as he rode along.
When he arrived near the Palace me
enthusiastic crowd surrounded him, de-
spite the military. and he was compelled
TO stop his horse. In order not 10 ride
down his admirers, who greeted MIN
with all manner of loyal cries. pas
sageway was finally opened, and Generai
Weyler proceeded to the Palace.
Shortly after he had entered the build
ing he appeared upon balcony, and was
greeted with the most tumultuous cneer-
ing. The scene was reminiscent OF the
time when Martinez Campos arrived Ia
Fabana, years ago, after pacifying the
island.
TREMENDOUS CHEERING.
When General Weyler called upon his
audience to cheer for the King for Spain,
and for the army, a roar went up that
could be heard across the bay, In MORO
Castle, and the fortress of Cabanas.
When silence had been restored, Gene
raj Weyler made an address. from the
tenor Of which It would be supposed that
the suppression Of the rebellion was an
accomplished fact. He said. among other
things. that everything that had been
done had been accomplished by the army
which had been entrusted with the paciii-
cation Of the island and the maintenance
| of SPANS sovereignty.
He was continually interrupted by
CHI eering, which was continued after ne
left the balcony.
Later, General Weyler gave reception
that was attended by the members Of the
municipal corporation, delegations from
various societies, and prominent residents
Of the city. All congratulated him upon
the success that has attended the Spanish
arms. and complimented him upon the
effectiveness of his campaign in Pinar
del Rio.
CITY MOST ANIMATED.
The city tonight presents a most ami
mated aspect, rejecting the Joy felt by
the Spaniards because Of Maceo's death
and General Weyler's triumph over the
insurgents In the western provinces.
Casa Blanca, the little village under
nd
the walls of the Cabana fortress anu
Reqla on the southern side Of the bay,
held little demonstrations of their own
in honor of the victorious return Of Gene
raj Weyler.
Part Of the cheering that was every
where heard tonight was for Major cru
iada. in the engagement with whom
Maceo lost his life.

MURDER BY TRAMPS.
John Bell Saw His Companion
Thrown Fiom a Train.
BODY RECOVERED YESTERDAY.

1t Was Gunpowder Creek, Near Havre d.
Grace, and It's Lifn's Blood and Brains
Were Scattered on Cross Ties-No One
Knows the Dead Man.
A murder occurred in Maryland Just be.
low Havrc de Grace Saturday night and
the local authorities have an eye witness
but know nothing of tho murderers. ;
George Bell, cOlored, Is the witness. He
says that he left Baltimore about O'Clock
Saturday night on north bound p, W.
b. freight train. He was with four
companions.
As the train approached Gunpowder
bridge, bridge which takes its name
from a creek and which lies south of
Havre de Grace one Of the colored men
and one of the whites slipped masks over
their faces and commanded them to throw
up their hands, Bell and his companion
obeyed and were relieved of their money.
They were also required to hand over their
clothes. Just ms the train was crossing
the bridge one of the parties seized Bells
companion and deliberately threw him
out of the car door into the creek
Betor the West Yard was reached the
murderers drew themselves out of the car
to the top and whether they left tho train
or not Bell could not say Police Captain
Black and squad of officers to go to the
West Yard and search for the men who
were guilty of the crime. TX. Chief of Pc.
lice Bagshaw Of Chester and Manuel Rich
cnbcrger were on the train and saw the
men leave, but before they could locate
them they had disappeared.
The men informed the police that they
believed the murderers had left the train
at Elkton. Then Bell was brought to the
station house and when the dead body
was found he was locked up to await the
action of the coroner of that county. Cap
tain Chambers telegraphed to Phiadcl-
phia to look out for any suspicious charac.
lers and also to the Purryville authorities
to look out for any sign oflnurder or acct
dent along the road
1t was about o'clock yesterday after
noon when the news of the finding of the
body reached here 1t came from Gun
powder station and was that the body had
been found in the creek shortly before
noon, 1t was that of u colored man ~
years old, o feet inches tall, smooth face
he wore dark trousers and coat and had II
handkerchief about his neck. The rail.
road tracks were coverd with blood and
brain matter.
This would indicate that when the man
was thrown from the car he struck the
bridge before reaching the water. Nothing
was found on the man to disclose his iden
tity. 1t is believed that the murdered
mans assailants belong to Il gang of tramps
that make Il business of riding on freight
trains between this city and Baltimore and
looting the freight cars

AMERICANS EXECUTED IN CUBA.
Farmer and Guy Chap In n su,x.Up

There was fight ut Lancaster avenue
and Madison street this morning which
commanded a little more interest from
pedestrians than the average street mix
up A gentleman from the suburbs had
been attracted to the city on an ice pur
chase and as he was preparing to load the
CONCEALED liquid his horse stepped ON a
dog belonging to coaster
or course it was not the fault of tho
farmer that such thing occurred, but
the rough believed it was, SO he proceeded
to make things so hot for the rural visitor
that his Ice would have melted had the
melee continued long enough Some one
said the farmer got knocked OFF his props
onto the dog, but soon regained his equ.
librium and went at the city fellow in
true country style.
While the farmer was in the game for
short time he punched the COASTER
awhile, his wind failed him and then he
became II victim to the upper cuts and
left hand jobs of the city chap Finally
matters grew so one sided that bystandors
separated tho putting contestants and tho
farmer got up, shook himself and thon
went on his way, while the worthless dog
ran yclping down the street rs though
sensible OF tho farmers injuries.
