Three masked men entered the house
and demanded of Mr.. Erickson his mon

the gang opened fire. A desperate strug-
gle for life then ensued and Edward, the
oldest son, received three bullet wounds,
which it is thought ~ mortal. The
father escaped with a scalp wound, from
which he will The family took
refuge up stairs. The desperadoes then
went through the lower room and left
nothing valuable. Sheriff Barron and

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-A dispatch to
the World from Havana says: The rebels
must be defeated before the year ex-
pires. Premier Canovas cabled Gen.
Weyler explaining that the Spanish
government has taken alarm at the
developments of a recent interview be-
tween United States Minister Taylor
ter of foreign affairs.
Gen. Weyler cabled back to Madrid
that in that case he must resort to ex-
treme methods
do as you please" replied Senor
Canovas.
Thereupon Gen. Weyler determined
to issue shortly an edict forbidding the
grinding of the seasons sugar crop.
When that edict appears war will be-
gin in earnest. The Cubans will occu-
py the hills and woods; the Spanish
troops will be in the cities and towns
The sugar mills will be destroyed by
both sides, for Weyler will adopt Co
mez' tactics and enter upon a cam
paign of extirpation. Cuba will be made
desolate by fire and sword. The torch
will be applied by regulars and insur-
gents alike to everything that might
give aid and comfort to the enemy
Everybody outside the military lines
will be shot without challenge"
There was panic in political and
financial circles when Gen. Weyler's s
intention leaked out, and a meeting of
the Conservative leaders was held. AZ
ter long and hot discussion, in which
Gen. Weylers expected edict was de-
nounced without stint, resolutions were
adopted to this purpose:
First-That a committee composed Of
the marquis of Apezteguia, Pasquel Col
gochea and Fatoccio Sanchez visit wey-
Ter and try to prevail upon him not to
issue the edict. ,.........s..
Second-If he persists in his determi-
nation to issue the edict, that the gov
ernment at Madrid be urged to recall
Weyler to Spain.
These audacious resolutions -areethe
talk of the city, as 1t is wellknownnthat
Spanish rule in Cuba has always been
upheld and controlled by the Conserva-
tive party. especially in times of war,
and that the party's resolutions are, In
