WEYLER'S LATEST DECREE
Prohibits the Grinding of Sugar
and Gathering of the
Coffee Crop.
Prisoners of War Still Being Shot
While Insurgents Continue to
Wreck Trains.

HAVANA. CUBA, Aug. 24.-The decree
which it is said Captain General Weyler
will shortly issue prohibiting the grinding
of the coming sugar crop will also forbid
the gathering of the coffee crop.
Felipe Espanola Traviezo, prisoner of
war, was shot at Matanzas to-day.
A military train, having on board the
Spanish column under command of
Colonel Cebalos, came into collision to-
day at the station at Guanaba, in the
province of Matanzas, with freight train.
A number of the cars were shattered and
the locomotive of the train bearing the
soldiers was wrecked. Twenty soldiers
were injured. The engineer OF the mill
tary train was arrested on suspicion OF
being responsible for the accident.
A party OF insurgents attempted to de-
stroy passenger train at Ell Palmo,
Province of Matanzas, by exploding dyna-
mite beneath the cars. Fortunately. how
ever, no one was injured. 1t is said that
train was derailed to-day between
Jovellanos and Colon, but no details of
the affair can yet be obtained.

Colonel George Stone of San Francisco,
president of the Union league Clubs of
California. The latter said that silver Is
no longer the bugaboo. although it was
three weeks ago, and that the farmers are
beginning to look to the tariff issue in the
campaign. They see in the money agita-
ton an element of uncertainty that is
bound to have disastrous effect on busi-
ness without promising anything like inn
mediate relief. The colonel says the con-
test in California will be close, but he be-
lieves the State will go for Mckinley.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. "a. - Governor
Stone of Missouri stopped over on his way
home from the East this afternoon, and
spent three hours in earnest conference
with Chairman Jones at Democratic Ma
tional headquarters. The political situa-
ton was thoroughly discussed, but no de-
tails were given out as to the matters con.
sidered.
D. F. Shively, Democratic nominee for
Governor of Indiana, accompanied by Mr..
Tanning. candidate for Auditor on the
same ticket, and Senator Leon Bailey of
Indiana, also called at headquarters.
Other visitors were Secretary of State Hin

Democratic movement, much more SO
than was the case two weeks ago. don't
mean by that that there were ever any
dangers of the Eastern States going for
the Chicago ticket and platform, but they
had different idea from ours how to
remedy the situation. They believed that
the proper thing to do was to rebuke the
party by voting for Mckinley electors.
But they are now beginning to realize that
another organization is necessary to pre-
serve the party in the Middle, Southern
and Western States. 1t is uncertain yet
what the regular organization in New York
will do. They seem to be waiting for Hill
to take stand. / think that he will land
in the Bryan camp. for I have never
thought that we could count upon him.
And, mark you. that will be the last OF
Mr.. Hill in politics. Our movement there
has the cordial support of the anti-snap-
pers, or the Cleveland Democracy, and
there is no question about the rank and
file of the New York Democrats being op-
posed to the Chicago ticket.''

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Aug. 25.-The

prominent Democrats in the country max

Hewitt, ex-Mayor OF New York, expresses
himself thus:
MY view is substantially that there is
out one issue to be represented to the peo-
pie OF the United States. The Democratic
convention at Chicago made . distinct
declaration of war upon the constitu ton
OF the United States. The issue, there
lore, Is not financial or economic, but it
concerns the perpetuity of republican in

SOW AND DAUGHTER SLAM
An Atrocious Crime Committed BY an U1-
known Assassin IN Milan
County TexnS

NSHHVg SSNNSB
CALVERT. TEX, Aug. 24.--News has
Just been received from Milan County of
one of the most atrocious crimes ever COM
mitted in the central part of Texas-the as
sasslnation of the son and daughter OF
Martha Mccullough.
The couple were sitting on the porch
talking ogether in the cool of the evening.
Suddenly the sound of a rife shot was
heard, and the two who had just been talk
ing together fell to the floor OF the porch.
Assistance was summoned at once, but lit
tie could be done. A rife ball had passed
through the neck OF the son, killing him
almost instantly. The ball then passed
into the body of the dau ghter. She lin
gered for several hours, but died during
the night.
There is no suspicion as to who COM
mitted the deed. Great indignation is
felt by the neighbors of the McCulloughs,
and II the murderer be caught he will be
dealt with summarily. A search has been
made throughout the neighbornood, but
SO lar it has been wholly without result.
Ihere Is theory that the shot may
nave been accidental, but this theory is
secuted by those in the neighboorhood,
who do not believe that a chance hunter
would have SO quickly and completely dis
appeared and left no trace behind him.
1t is generally believed, however, that the
Klillng OF the girl was accidental and that
the assassin aimed at her brother.

GOOD SPEED OF THE BR0OKL YH
In Preliminary Practice Trial the Cruiser
Goes Almost Twenty-0ne Knots
an Hour.

BOSTON, MASS. Aug. 24.-In the pre-
liminary or practice trial to-day the
cruiser Brooklyn developed an average
speed closely approximating twenty-one
knots. There were, of course, no official
figures which could have any impartial or
valuable bearing. Watches were held by
all the officers aboard, and also by those
mem bers of the Government trial board
and close calculations were made from
buoy to buoy in the run of eighty-three
knots.
A comparison of these different figures
showed an agreement that the cruiser had
averaged few one hundreths less than
twenty-ene knots. The Computations
ranged from 1925 10 20.99, the majority.
however, settling ON 2097. The trial was
made over the Government official course
from off Cape Ann, Mass, to a point off
Point Porpoise. Me-, and return. The
measured distance between the two points
is 4lH, thus making the full run Of eighty.
three knots, including the turn.
Edwin 8. Cran,p, after the return TODAY
expressed himselfas entirely satisfied with
the behavior of the cruiser, but would
make no prediction as to the possibi,itie:
of the official trial on Wednesday.

CHICAGO. ILL, Aug. M.-Sound-money
Democratic headquarters has been lively
all day with visitors, the great majority of
whom are here as delegates to the State
Convention to meet tomorrow at Battery
D. During the afternoon a delegation of
women, headed by Catherine Waugh Nc
Culloch, called to ask the Endorsement of
DR.. Julia Holmes Smith. candidate on the
Democratic ticket for trustee of the State
University. The ladies were kindly re-
ceived, but a deaf ear will be turned to
their request. The State Executive Com
mittee held session lasting nearly three
hours, but declined to make public any,
thing done. Another meeting was held
in tie evening. in which leading delegates
from out of town we're given an opportu-
nifty to assist in mapping out the pro-
gramme for to-morrow's convention.
At the evening meeting the temporary
organization was settled upon with ex-
Senator Lloyd Hamilton OF Springfield as
chairman. The platform will be very
strong document, coming out fat-footedly
in Endorsement of the National admins
tration and declaring for sound money.
The probabilities are that General Black
will be nominated for Governor, Chester
A. Babcock for Lientenant-Governor and
Edward Ridgeiy of Springfield for Treas
urer.
A report that President Cleveland had
written letter indorsing the sound
money movement, which was circulated
during the conference, evoked much en-
thusiasm and the leaders feel encouraged
over the outlook tonight.

PRESIDENT FARMERS ADDRESS.
An hppeat Issued to the Friends of
Rfnetd Uisns.


BfnsetdJJ JJisnt.
CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. A.-President
Warner of the American Bimetallic
Union tonight issued an address ITO
the friends of bimetallism in the United
States" He reviews the situation from
point of view favorable to free coinage
and says the question should be carefully
studied by every voter before he casts his
ballot. The address continues:
This cannot be done through the medium of
the ordinary daily newspapers, for as rule they
are filled with catch phrases and appeals to
special interests that are simply intended to
prejudice and mislead. BY far the best method
OF diffuslng education upon this subj ect Is
through the medium of clubs and leagues or
unions. Such Organizations bring the voters
together in compact bodies and enable them
to collectively obtain at nominal rates the very
best literature extant. This in turns leads to
discussions, not only by speakers from the
platform, but between individuals. AS q re-
suit the chaff is separated from the solid grain,
the essential and material matter is sifted out
of great mass that really does nc touch the
essence of the question at all. The great con-
test is now on and it can only be settled at the
polls. To the end that the decision may be
right the American Bimefallic Union strongly
urges the formation of silver clubs and leagues
in every State, county, city, town and school
dis trict in the Union.
President Warner pledges his organiza-
tion to aid in the work of organization and
education to the best of it's ability, pro-
viding free such literature as can be so
furnished, and all that necessarily involves
expenses will be provided at cost.
Detailed instructions as to the plan of
organization will be furnished on applica-
tion to the main office of the union at 134
Monroe street, Chicago, or to the branch
office, Sun building, Washington, d. @.

HURT By A MAD HORSE.
Desperate Fight With a Nag That Wos
Bitten bv q Do0,

BLOOMFIELD, N. j., Aug. 2-WaIlace
Lyon, proprietor of the Washington Hotel
in the Brooklyn section, was bitten se-
verely by horse yesterday afternoon.
Lyon entered the stall to feed the animal.
and it suddenly gave scream of anger
and fastened its teeth in his back near the
left shoulder. At the same time the
horse kicked at him with his forefeet.
Lyon struck the horse on the head with
a wooden measure over his right shoulder
until the animal loosened his hold, and he
then sprang out of the stall as the horse
tried to bite him again. He went to the
hotel, and with farmland returned to
the stable and found the horse frothing at
the mouth and tugging at its halter. He
at once got rife and shot the mad beast
Lyon says that about four months ago
the horse was bitten by dog on one OF its
hind legs, but he thought little of it at the
time. The wound was cauterized.

THE BERTILLoN system.
Thorough Test to be Made by the Var
Department.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 24.-The
army medical department will make a
trial of the Bertillon system of identifca-
tion. 1t is on the suggestion OF an army
surgeon who believes that the method is an
improvement over the present practice of
keeping track of deserters and other un-
desirable characters who may attempt to
re-enter the army. Army surgeons, how
ever, do not believe the French syste m
will be an improvement over the prevail
ing practice. They fear that the liability
to error is greater, especially where there
is so much likelihood OF carelessness on
the part of operators. The War Depart
ment, however, has sent to Paris for set
OF Bertillon instruments and a thoroug h
examination will be made into the system.
