WEYLER PROCLAlMS.
Substance of His Latest Warning to In
surgents.

buTRehtb.
Havana, March O.-The expected
proclamation by Gen. Weyler, de-
nounced in advance in the United
States, has been issued. 1t was looked
for as soon as the two western prov
inces should be comparatively free
from the rebels. The order is not as
severe as was predicted. A synopsis is
as follows:
Gen. Weyler announces that rebels who
present themselves, that Is to say, who
surrender in the provinces of MatanZas,
Santa Clara, Puerto Principe and Santiago
will be given liberty If they bring in their
arms" Those who come in" without
arms will be sent to some town where they
will be under surveillance. The authorit
ties of any town may arm volunteers for
local service by asking permission. The
mayors of all towns are directed to report
within ten days the names of all residents
of their jurisdiction who have Joined the
rebels. All such who do not present them
selves in Is days shall be considered rebels
and their property confiscated. Any rebel
who presents himself in Is days will be un-
der surveillance, but none will be molested
except those who held public office prior to
"going out"--that is, joining the insurgents
or had been guilty of crime. This last
provision is TO avoid pardoning certain per-
sons who were well-known robbers before
the rebellion and are now with the in
srrgent forces. All who surrender after
the 10 days will be kept under guard. All
persons who give aid or information to
the rebels will be held to be assisting the
rebellion. Residents of localities in which
railways or telegraphs have been destroyed
are required to help repair them.

VENEZUELA'S TIME UP.
Ninety Days Allowed to Answer Demand
for Indemnity Have Expired.

Ninety Days Allowed to Answer Demand
for Indemnity Have Expired.
Caracas, March THE 30 days al
lowed Venezuela to answer the demand
for indemnity for the arrest of English
Officials Barnes and Baker on the Uruan
river in December. 1894, have expired.
The government will not speak Off
cially but the highest authority is given
for the statement that Venezuela re-
fused to pay the indemnity, declaring
the question of the arrest and the boun-
Diary dispute cannot be separated. To
pay the indemnity would be to recog-
nize British sovereignty over Venezue-
Ian territory.
1t is believed here that unless Sir
Julian Pauncefote and Minister An
dreade can arrange matters satisfactor-
lily in Washington England will use
force to collect the money, treating the
arrests as distinct from the boundary.

The Silver Question.

The German federal council has re-
jected the reichstag resolution in
structing the government to issue in
vitations to an international monetary
congress to consider the rehabilitation
of silver. This brings the silver ques-
tion down to but three practical solu-
tions. They are:
First-To leave things as they are,
maintain the gold standard, and cease
the effort to make money metal of
silver.
Second-To put dollars worth of
silver in silver dollar, and allow the
coins to be represented in our circula-
tion by silver certificates.
Third-To adopt the silver standard,
and drop to the level of Mexico and
ether second-rate countries in our
financial system.
There is no other possible way than
one of these three. The proposition
of the silver men to open our mints to
the free coinage of silver at sixteen to
one means the third proposition named
above.-Toiedo Blade

SOUND MONEY SAYINGS.

....Those who oppose the free and
unlimited coinage of silver contend
with good reason thrt they are true
bimetallists, and experience proves
that the only countries in which gold
and silver constitute The general circu-
letion are countries which do not have
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
ver.-Atlanta Journal.
"A square division on the silver
question would make the canvass OF
1896 interesting, but the silverites arc
not as anxious for division as they
pretend to be. A contest would reveal
the weakness of the silver faction, and
the knowledge of this is the very thing
they want to keep from the public
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Statistics show that, so far from
having a just grievance in the silver
question, the people of Colorado have
been benefited by the status that it has
assumed. The number of men em-
ployed in the mines, mills and smelters
of that state is 26,359, as compared
with 22,951 just before the panic OF
1893 put a quietus upon the silver boom.
This is gain of IS per cent, and is due
solely to the development of the gold
mines of the state.-Chicago Post.
why should the friends of silver
keep up quasi-connection with the
old parties and confine themselves to
making speeches. Surely there has
been enough of talk. We desire to see
the silver crowd, democrats, repub-
licans and populists, united together in
one great argentiferous organization
and the supporters of the 5o-cent dollar
and the 100-cent dollar to try conclu-
sions in square and unambiguoYa
campaign before the people.-Milwau-
lee Sentinel.
....A paper devoted to the advocacy
of silver monometallismq quotes approx
ingly from the Mining Industry and
Review the statement that "as matter
of fact there is practically no gold at
ell in circulation in the United States,
and whether it is at a premium or not
cuts very little figure in business
transactions" Why, then, do that and
other free silverite organs keep up
their standing howl 10 the effect that
silver has been demonetized? Recent
ly published statistics show for the
principal countries of the world an ag-
eregate circulation of $3,066,0 100000 il
gold and $4,O56,O00,000 in silver, while
the amounts of gold and silver in cir
culation in the United States are esti'
mated to be almost precisely equal.
What foundation do these figures give
to the claim that silver has been do
monetizedP-Chicago Tribune.

An Ex-LegisIator Is Found Guilty of So
liciting II Bride from Druggists.
COLUMBUS, o., March 11.-Ex-Senator
Abbott, of Morgan county, was found
guilty yesterday by jury, of bribery
in the pharmacy legislative bill. The
jury had been out all night. Judge
Pugh's charge was very severe against
Abbott and when the evidence was in
the case was generally regarded as a
weak one. The jury took 35 ballots
before reaching verdict. Senator
Abbott was taken to court and gave
bond for 81, 900 pending a motion for a
new trial.
Abbott introduced bill to repeal
the law requiring druggists to stand
an examination in pha rmacy, and is
convicted of soliciting a bribe from
druggists to withdraw the bill. The
crime is punishable with from one to
five years imprisonment

port of the inspector general on the in
spection of the several branches of the
National home for disabled soldiers.
1t shows the home to be in good condi-

nearly equals the combined strength of

Adding to this the average number of

or shorter periods, the total average

Tlme Limit E1tended.

PITTsBURG, March Yesterday
was the time limit fixed by the oper-
ators and miners for the enforcement
of the uniformity wage scale in the
Pittsburg district. AT meeting of
the railroad coal operators the fact be-
came known that but rs per cent. of
the operators had signified their inten-
tion to be governed by the provisions,
which required the signatures of 95
per cent. of the producers before it
should become operative. The time
limit was extended to March 81, when
it is thought the requisite 95 per cent
of signatures to the agreement VIII
have been obtained.

A Battle With Outlaws.

PERRY, Okla, March 1O.-A month
ago two outlaws, Gen" Miller and
James Harbolt, shot and killed Sheriff
Glover, of Day county, Oklahoma, who
had tried to arrest them. A posse was
organized and traced the men to the
Washita mountains. About week
ago it ran them into cave in the
western part of the county on the
Washita river. For five days con-
tinual fight went on between the oiii-
GERS and the men in the cave. Finally
The outlaws made break to get
through tho posse's lines and both
were shot. Miller was killed and Har-
bolt badly wounded.
