WILL NOT SUPPORT BRYAN.
Letter From Assistant Secretary of
the Navy McAdOo.

NEW YORK, Oct 19.-In a letter to
w. ]. Curtis, a member of the Ma
National Democratic Committee of New
Jersey, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy McAdoo says that he is opposed
to the platform and unable to support
the ticket named at Chicago, because he
is Thoroughly convinced that the doc
trines therein set forth are unsound
and dangerous, and would work incal-
culable injury to the whole people of the
Republic, being from a plain, econom-
ical standpoint of view extremely radi-
CAL If not revolutionary, fierce with the
heat of renewed sectionalism and saw
age with the bitterness of class distinc-
happier hemisphere.
Il yield to no one he says, ''in my
belief in the majority and independence
of this great country; its imperial place
among the power of the nations; its
duty to assert it's rights and maintain
its honor in all lands and on all seas;
but i cannot be convinced that the best
way to make il omnipotent against the
world, If not as proposed against ma
true itself, is to weaken its prestige
and discredit its institutions and i'm
pair its business. In such a contest as
this party associations personal friend
ships and interests, and even family
ties, cannot be allowed to interpose be-
tween us and primary duty to stand by
the Republic, the best help of humanity,
to keep unimpaired, sacred and hon
ored its institutions and it's flag"

TURKISH ATROCITIES.
A Large Protesting 7eeting Held at
London Last Night.

LONDON, Oct. ia meeting called
for the purpose of protesting against
the Turkish atrocities was held IN St.
James Hall, London, this evening under
the Craftsmanship of the Rt. Rev. Ed
ward Stuart Talbot, D. D., Bishop of
Rochester. The hall was crowded to its
fullest capacity.
A letter from Mr. Gladstone was read,
in which the Prime Minister declared
that it would be wild paradox to say
that the enforcement of the British
treaty rights to stop the systematic
massacres in Turkey would provoke
hcstilities in the Powers. If the funda-
mental distrust of Great Britain and
the belief that she is pursuing a selfish
policy in the Eastern Mediterranean
caused some Powers to be backward,
that was a matter which deserved 10 be
bravely considered.

FIERCE STORM AT HALIFAX.
Heavy Wind, Accompanied by Tor
rents of Rain.

HALIFAX On. 81, Oct. 19-There
was tremendous rainfall in this re-
gion yesterday, last night and early
this morning. The storm during the
night was very fierce, the wind blowing
violently in squalls, and the rain com
ing down in a perfect torrent. None of
this mornings outgoing trains left on
time, several bad washouts having oc-
Cured.
The damage about the city streets is
considerable. The famous public gar
dens are flooded and badly injured, and
it is said that a man named Thompson
was drowned there while attempting to
open a sluice in one of the sewers to
allow the accumulated waters to run
off. The public common has been trans
formed into lake, and a number of
cellars in the western section have been
inundated.
The City Engineer says that $4,000
would not place the city in the condi-
tion it was previous to the storm. If
the water in Long Lake rises much
higher there will be fears for the break
ing of the water works dam, and the
village of Herring Cove would be wiped

Because of Their Loyalty to the Cause

by Spanish General Removes All
Doubts as to the Truth of the Facts
--ConSuI-Generai Lee Coming
Home With the Hope of Improving
His Health.

HAVANA, Oct. 19.-To show the con-
trast between the treatment accorded
to rebel prisoners by the Spaniaris and
that shown to Spanish captives by the
inSurgent leaders the following recent
Incidents are mentioned:
In the fight which General MelquiZo
had with General Maceo's forces
short time ago Melquizo captured forty
rebels whom he ordered shot ON the
spot. and in the recent cement be-
tween Maceo's troops and the SpaniardS
uEder General Bernal the latter caused
twenty-five prisoners to be shot, in
ciuding a young girl and two Older
women. Bernal says that he saw Cne
of these women hidden in the bush, and
he paid no attention to her at first.
thinking she was refugee, but when
the light was over a. stray shot picked
off one of his soldiers, and they all
rushed ON her, she killing fifteen before
she was captured and killed
rms statement is positively true, as
the facts were heard from the lips of
General Bernal in person when he was
interviewed on his arrival in Havana.
With the forty men killed by Mel
quizo there We're four women and 4
child. but he does not know whether the
child was abandoned in the woods or
killed. They tried to force the woman
to tell them the whereabouts of Maceo
and his plans, but the only words they
got out of them were that the Spaniards
were cowardly dogs, and this so en-
ragged Melquizo that he ordered them
shot Immediately, they all dying with
the cry Of Viva, vive Cuba libra
This affair and that of Bernal shoot
Ing twenty-five captives clearly show
that the Spaniards continue their re-
lentlesS butchery, and do not pardon
a single man captured in the field, while
the Cubans pursue an exactly contrary
course.
The new trial of the men captured on
the fill @ur ted-ing schooner Competitor
began to-day before an ordinary naval
ccurt-martial Alfredo lie Borde of New
Orleans, the leader of the party. and
Owen Milton of Kansas being exam
ired. Their evidence did not materially
differ from that given at the previous
trial, which resulted in the death SEN
| tence being imposed on the five pris-
oner, who in addition to La Borde and
Milton are William Kinle, an English
man, and Elias Bediah and Theodore
Masa, both Cubans. Consul-GeneraI
Lee was not present, he not having
been advised that the trial would begin
| to-day. The case of Levitt and Barnett
was not called.
CONSUL LEE COMING HOME.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Consul-
General FitZhugh Lee has been granted
leave of absence from his post in Ha-
vana and will return to his home in
Virginia AS the result of the return
all sorts of Cuban rumors have be-
come prevalent, but it is asserted to-
night by an official of the State Depart
ment that such inferences are not justi-
fled. 1t is said that General Lee re-
turns solely on account of his health,
and that he will so back to his rost
as soon as he recuperates from the
effects of his residence in Cuba
