!. MUST DO SOMETHING.
Spain Win Not Stand Any Hore lion.
4 e. keying from Weyler.

| Washington, Nov. 17.--It is learned
here on authority that the Spanish gov
ernlmen has given Gen. Weyler to under
Island that he must push his operations
against the insurgents aggressively and
vigorously. Unless he soon achieves.a de-
cisive victory over the Cubans, it is be-
lieved that he will be recalled. Gen. Wey-
lcr, it is understood is aware of the al.
tentative, and his present campaign in
Pinar Del Rio is expected to result in an
engagement that will put new aspect
on the Cuban situation one way or the
other. The campaign therefore has be-
! come to him a personal matter, and with
the knowledge that his prestige and rank
are at stake, the Havana cables are being
wached with interest for news of more
important battles than the skirmishes
and guerilla fighting than thus far have
come by way Of them.
Gen. Weyler has all the troop that he
can use. There are over 100000 Spanish
soldiers in Cuba, and the force under the
captain general in his present operations
in the field in person is DER 60.OO0 men.
Maceo, against whom he is now operat-
ing, has under him, it Is estimated, about
7,00G. Spain having fulfilled all OF Gen.
Weyler's wishes as to troops now expects
results from him. Consul General Lee
has acquainted the administration with
these facts and the president is at present
simply awaiting events and will shape his
course by the developments.
1t is the hope of Gen. Weyler that he
will be able to score a decided victory be-
fore. the assembling of congress, Dec. Z.
Spain fears adverse action by .that body
soon after it meets, and has urged Gen.
Weyler to demonstrate his ability to crush
the rebellion within the next two weeks,
If possible.
: In view of the fact that Spain is now
making q strong and almost supreme eff
fort to subdue her insurgent colony, and
that a crisis apparently is at hand, the
president will delay writing that part OF
his forthcoming message on the CUBAN
situation until the last moment before the
meeting of congress. The position the
administration will take in reference to
Cuba in this message Of the chief magis-
trate will be largely determined by the
news received before Dec. 7. Should the
news be favorable to the Spanish army,
it is probable that the president will con-
tinue to pursue his policy of non-inter-
ference. Should it, on the other hand, be
distinctly favorable to the insurgent
cause and especially if it should happen
that Weyler were defeated, Mr.. Cleveland,
it is believed, would no longer hesitate to
recommend the recognition of their rights
as belligerents or some other action
equally undesirable to Spain.
What action would follow simply
negative result of the campaign, that is a
fruitless chase after the insurgents by
Gen. Weyler, is less clear Probably the
administration course would be inf1u-
enced in some measure, at least, by what
representations Spain made as to the
policy it would pursue and the instruc-
lions given her new captain general in

KENT WILL VII !: NOT HANG.

EFFORTS OF JUDGE h'coHHELL.
The Prisoner Says That. He Will Yet
Prove His Innocence to
the World. :

Bismarck, ". D. Nov. 1S.-Governor
Allin, alta late hour last night made pub
lie his final decision, committing the SEN
tence of the convicted wife-murderer
Myron r. Kent, from death to imprison-
,nent for life. The result has not been
unexpected by those who have followed
the case closely. Judge McConnells ac-
ti0n in going before the governor, plead
ing for the man he had sentenced to hang
is what influenced the governor in taking
this action.
To Attorney Hildreth, who has made
such q desperate fight for his clients life,
all credit is due Without any remuner-
alton whatever, he has fought the able
attorneys OF the prosecution inch by inch.
When Informed of the governors action
in committing the sentence he was nearly
beside himself with joy. AS soon as
possible he rushed 70 the telegraph Office
and sent the following telegram 10 Kent:

committed"
Fargo, N. D., Nov. 1s-When the re-
port reached Fargo at o'clock last even
ing that Governor Allin had committed
the sentence of Myron R. Kent to life
Imprisonment there was a feeling OF re-
lief, as the tension over the question Of
his probable execution was beginning 10
be felt.
The action OF Governor .Allin in exer-
cising executive clemency is one of the
most popular of his administration, as
nine out of every ten men in Fargo
seemed to favor such step. This was
partially due, perhaps, to the fact that
Swidensl1y, the real murderer, had es-
capped the gallows.
Hundreds of kilograms and letters had
been sent to the executive from here ask
ing that the sentence be modified. 1t was
Judge McConneils telegram OF week
ago that secured the reprieve. and Judge
McConnell's conference with the governor
yesterday: and today that secured the
GONNA utation.
Judge Barrett, one of the attorneys for
the! defense, fastened to the Jail imme-
diately on the receipt of. the news from
Bismarck and informed Kent that his
sentence had been COMMITTED. The man
with the iron nerve never moved a mus
Gle, but there flashed into his eyes an ex-
preston that denoted the joy created by
the receipt of the information.

and said: ''You have no idea the salts

HULL ON TRIAL.
A Reverend Gentleman in Decidedly
. @54@. Bad Fix.

. /. ~
Rev. James C. Hull, the alleged wife
poisoner,. Of st. Paul, is row on trial in
Judge Egan's court. Yesterday the time
was taken up by Mrs. Hull in giving the
testimony which, unless proved to befalse.
will place her husband behind the prison
bars. Tl1e last jurors were secured soon
after the noon recess and Mrs Hull was
the first witness to take the stand. She
testified; in clear and decided manner,
and although she was evidently under q
great strain. yet she told her story clearly
and with very few questions. According
to her story Mr.. Hull married her over
fourteen years ago In Kansas, and since
that time he has always been engaged in
church work, although he did not always
have charse Of a church. After relating a
few minor details of their life before and
after their removal to st. Paul, she took
UP the thread OF events which led to the
accusation and arrest of her husband. On
July Is last she began to take medicine for
kidney trouble, from which she was suf-
fering at that time. On the following SUM
day morning Mr.. Hull told her that it
would not be necessary for her to rise, but
that he would prepare her a light break

insisted that she should eat it, although

gave her the regular dose about ten min

Within @ few minutes she was taken with
severe pains IN the stomach and bowels
and became hot and feverish. Mr.. Hull
went to church as usual and returned
about noon, finding Mrs. Hull on the couch
IN the dining room, which was across the
hall from the bed room. Up to this time
she had taken no medicine except War
ner's Cure, but she now asked him to
bring her dose of Castoria, and after
wards ate some chicken broth and drank
q glass Of lemonade, which he prepared for
her. This increased the pain in her stom-
ach and about 5 o'clock she was CON-
PEELED to again go to bed. Mr.. Hull then
produced a box which, he told her, con-
tanned morphine pills, and a bottle which
held a kidney remedy, which he had re-
ceived from the doctor. The box from
