Advices via j .cksonville Indicate That
weyler Found Insurgents in Plenty.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov. 2S.-Colo-
mel Jose Reyes. aide de. camp of Cen
eral Maceo, wounded and ell route to
New York for medical treatment and
with dispatches to the junta, passed
through here Thursday. He says the
fighting in the Rubi hills of Pinar del
Rio was the most sanguinary battle Of
the war. He claims that 2,OG0 of Wey-
lers men were killed i'll two days and
twice as many wounded.
Weyler went into the field with 3d..
COO men in three columns, one Of 5000
under himself, one Of 10000 under Cen
eral Echague and third Of 10000 un-
der General Munoz. They found Ma

range of hills When at the foot of the
hills the Spaniards were

men shot from behind rocks and trees
and gradually gave way before the

they thought to be victory, hotly pur-
sued Suddenly deafening explosion

what like the mine horror at Peters
burg during the civil war. Horses and
men were blown high i'll the air and

dynamite niine was touched off by
John Linn, formerly of this city, who
is Maceo's electrician. MaceO then let
loose his dynamite guns, prepared by

HAMBURG, Nov. 2S.-It now seems
that the report circulated i'll London
and subsequently denied, that Tom
Mann, the well known English labor
leader, and prime mover in the univer-
sal docker's strike, has been arrested in
Germany, is correct. Mann was taken

News of the Fearful Slaughter of
Soldiers of the Captain Cen
erals Command
Beginning to Arrive at Havana.
Weyler's Conduct Roundly
Denounced.
Stated Over Two Thousand
SpaniardS Met Death in the
Rubi Hills.

HAVANA. (via Key Vest Nov. o.
The details and death list Of the awful
massacre of Weyler's men in the noun
tain businesses have just been made
known here by couriers from the bat
tletield and the greatest CONSERVATION
prevails.
Weyler is criticised in unmeasured
terms and the people boldly declare
that it was cowardice that compelled
him to desert the field. The statement
is openly made that Maceo frightened
him half to death by putting price on
his head, and the cowardly captain
general knew it was only a question OF
time when one of the Cuban sharp
shooters would
Send q Bullet Through HIS Head.
This was the reason that Weyler sud-
denly thought it imperative that he
should return at once to Havana, and,
judging from the sentiment Of the peO-
) pie, he will not leave here again in
charge of another expedition. 1t is un-
derstOod that he is to be deposed im-
mediately and the conduct of the army
placed in other and more reliable
hands.
However, there is disposition on
the part of the people at large to have
the war brought to a termination at
once The country is on the verge of
ruin, business is upset and the Cuban
patriots give evidence of being able to
prolong the fight indefinitely. Having
their independence to fight for they
are not taking business into considera-
tion and will
Fight 1t Out to the Last Ditch.
The people of Spain have come to the
conclusion that Spain can win only by
getting all the Cuban patriots in bull
pen and shooting them down. AS this
is impossible they are ready to give
Lvover and get down to business again.
{ There is great clamor for Weyler's s
removal, and he has enscOned himself in
his palace and refuses to see anyone,
claiming that the pressing business of
state takes up all his time. AS a matter
of fact he is as much afraid of his own
people as he is of the Cubans, and does
not care to expose himself to open in
suit, which would surely follow his
appearance Oh the streets.

 Wing in Control.

PHoENIx, ARIz., April 29.-The warning factions have held the terri torial convention at a standstill all day, the question being upon organi- zation and admission of sixty-two con- testing delegates from three of the main counties of the territory. This evening in order to avoid a bolt it was agreed to admit all contestants, giv- ing them but half vote per indivi- dual. The convention then organized with l74 members with +. M. Zuck, of Navajo county, as temporary chair man. The convention is holding q night session with little result will continue tomorrow. What is known as the Stoddard wing, in opposition to the Mckinley wing, has control. They assert, however, they are as warm supporters as any of the Ohica ans, and it is probable that the platform if not instructions will endorse him The money plank will probably be strongly for silver. The delegates are already named in caucus. They will he J. F. Mahoney, Ralph Cameron, William Christy, E. T. Stoddard, Burt Dunlap and J. A. Zabeiskie. All give their first choice as Mckinley, though Christy is popularly considered for Allison.

A Farwell Banquet to Col. Roberts.

Last Friday night at the California restaurant the friends of Colonel F. W. Roberts, late consul at Nogales, Sonora, rendered him farewell ban quet. A most excellent bill of fare had been prepared and after it had been partaken of MT. Ricardo Fleischer began the lists of toasts with a few words to Col. Roberts. Mayor Herrera was then called upon and in his elo- quent style he spoke of the excellent services Col. Roberts had rendered his country and ending with: If Colonel Roberts should be eaten by cannibals we will know that they have eaten good thing" Consul M MascareiIas said few words in Spanish, and was followed by R. D. George who told couple of stories Capt L. w. Mix made few remarks and Colonel Rob- erts was then called upon. He told of the excellent treatment he had re- ceiyed from the people on both sides of the line, both as citizen and an official. He paid especially high tribute to the gentlemen who re- present President Diaz in Nogales. Following the Colonel, speeches were made by Messrs. J. Chapital, W. N. Cummings, w. F. OYerton, J. B. Mix, Dr. Welles and A. Mascarefas. The ilatter responded to the toast of "the young men of Nogales,r and in meat speech that would have done credit to U. s. senator, he spoke of the friendly relations between Colonel Roberts and the young men of No gales. During the intermissions be- tween the speeches music was dis coursed by Garcias orchestra.

Obituary.

The sad death Of Theodore H. Dill on the 23d of April cast a gloom over the community that will long be remembered. As was remarked upon his death, ''hc was man with no enemies.r To know him was to be his friend. Very few men have as many friends in such large circle of ac- quaintences, and his loss is keenly felt by all who know him. Like all men he had faults but his faults injured no one but himself. He was quiet and unassuming, a gentleman under any and all circumstances; and he always had a kind word and smile for every one.
 His remains were followed to his last resting place in the Odd Fellows cemetery by large concourse of citizens.
 He came to Tucson sometime in the year 1877, and at one time had pros- porous business, but reverses came and reduced his circumstances. He left Tucson and came to Nogales eleven years ago during most of which time he was employed by MT. J. T. Brickweod. He had spells when he was melancholy and was so for several days before his death.
 His relatives reside in Pennsylvania and New York. They'can feel assured they have the warm sympathy of all our people in their sad loss.

TWO CONVENTIONS AT TUCSON MONDAY.
One Endorsed J. C. Zabriskie for Delegate to St. Louis, and the other sent
 an Unisfructed Delegation

Pursuant to call the delegates elect ed tor portion of them to hold a convention gathered at Tucson Mon day of the present week. Many had been on hand several days before, and a great deal of manipulation had been done.
 To the delegates from Nogales the fact became immediately apparent that he solid delegation from Tucsou was determined upon swinging the convention for one of their own num- Der, and that nothing could be done toward what they wanted without consolidating all of the outside dele gations-or nearly all But they dis covered that right at the outset they they were to be prohibited from doing that by having the committee on cre- dentials so constituted that it would shut out several proxies from outside precincts which had been given to gentlemen who were not regularly elected delegates. Repeated efforts were made to get the Tucson delega- tion to deal with equity in this mat ter, but each effort was met by posi- tive refusal.
 Finally the Tucson delegation sue ceeded in drawing to them the dele gate from La Noria, who also held proxy from Harshaw, the delegate from Greaterylle, and a gentleman from Pantano who had written that no primary had been held at that place, but, who, nevertheless, came in and acted as delegate. That made their convention consist of twenty-one members, as follows:
 Tucson Precinct: E r VanKuren, Henry Buehman, Rufus Maker, J Blinkhorn, A W Gregory, c c Suter, RE Paul, Chas Osgood, c M Williams, OR Hale, J A Zabrlskie, L D Chilson, w V Whitmore, James Beayett, Thos Hughes, E McGee, E N Fish.

A real genuine gold idolator is
the most innocent mortal alive.
He poses as a shrewd business
man. Where does his shrewd-
ness come in? Unless a money
loaner or shark who lives by
wrecking industries that they
may gather in the spoils at half
or quarter price, no business
man is benefited by the gold
standard. From the point of
view of financial gains what
would professional man pre-
fer a clientage that is poverty
stricken, or one that is "well-
heeled?" To the merchant
which customer is the most
profitable-one that hasn't a
nickelin his pocket or one whose,
pockets are bulging out with
those big, clumsy, despised sill

Free coinage does more than
break the corner on the
money market. Demonetiza-
ton has cheapened silver
and made it possible for
silver using countries to get
cheap money. Cheap money,
like cheap labor (cheap in pro-
portion to results), cheap land,
cheap transportation and cheap
manufacturing facilities en-
ables the country SO favored
to undersell it's competitors in
common markets. Remoneti-
cation will equalize the advan-
tage of cheap money now exclu-
sively enjoyed by the silver
countries. It makes their money
dearer and ours cheaper, both
of which are to our advantage
in competition with them, and
are therefore clear gains, not
to the mine-owners, but to all
Americans engaged in produce
tons.

what they say, they think that
an increased demand for iron
will make the iron mines close
down; that the necessity of
hauling to market a bountiful
crop would force the railroads
into the hands of a receiver, and
that if the western farmers be-
came able to live in two-story
houses all the sawmills would
be compelled to cease opera
tons. To the western farmer
free silver means higher prices
for wheat and corn; to the
southern farmer higher prices
for cotton; to the stock raiser
higher prices for beef and pork;
to the lumberman a better de-
mand for building material; to
the railroads and shipping in
terests more products to be
handled; to the manufacturing
industries increased demand
for all kinds of wares and ma
chinery. Prosperity among
these classes to workingnnan
seems to indicate a better de-
mand for iron. Increased de-
mand means higher prices.
And the iron mine owner
who would close down his plant
in the face of higher prices for
his product certainly belong to
