WEYLER INDIGNANT.
Finds that Other Officials Have
Been Stealing from the
GovernemeDt.

Havana, Cnba, April 16, via

nal y Neyler's personal inves
LEGATIONS in Santa Clara Pro
vince have resulted In sensa
tional disclosures and the Cap
tain General promises many
court-lnartials. Both the civil
and military administrations
were found TO be rotten to the
core. The civil government sold
appointment to the highest bid
deis, and by systematic black
mail got hundreds of thousands
of dollars from gambling houses
run in defiance of law.
While no record was kept of
the taxes, extraordinary assess
menis, it was learned, had been
extracted from local merchants
and property holders under
threats of arrest as political
suspects.
Many military commandments
and volunteer chiefs were also
found criminally delinquent,
selling stores and openly bart
ering munitions to insurgents.
The Governor was sent here
by Weyler to await court-mar
tial. but he eluded the Havana
authorities and embarked in a
fishing boat for the United
States with his srealings.amount
ing to upward of $3.50, 900.
General Luque, who succeed
ed General BernaI, has resigned
and expects to leave on the next
steamer. He is ontspoken in
criticism of Weyler's tactics
and says that Cuba is virtually
lost to Spain through W-yler's
mismanagement.

UNJUST 70 THE LOWER
RIO NDE.

The Galveston News publish
es weekly chart showing the
amount of precipitation over the
state Of Texas each week, which
is prepared by the Texas sec
lion of the weather bureau.
This chart very frequently mis-
represents conditions in the
lower Rio Grande, owing doubt
less to the fact that no report is
sent in to the bureau from this
station. Almost invariably this
part OF the state is included
within that portion of the chart
which indicated no rain or less
than half an inch of precipita-
ton, regardless of facts. Only
last week the News chart in
Dictated that during the week
ending Monday, April 10, the
rainfall along the lower Rio
Grande was to J inch, whereas
in reality, the amount of pre-
eipitation in Cameron county
during the stated period amount
ed to nearly two inches and
the rainfall in Hidalgo, and the
rainfall in Hidalgo, and, We be
lieVe, also in Starr county was
considerably over half an inch.
or course, there can be no in
t .nticn on the part of the
weather bureau to injure any
section of the state, but by this
continual misrepresentation of
the amount ofrainfall along Il 9
lower Rio Grande, the interest
of this section must be more or
less hurt. If-the weather bureau
cannot afford to obtain reports
from any particular section of
the state. then then chart should
be SO marked as to indicate the
fact, as otherwise injustice may
result frem the misrepresent
alton very frequently made by
including such sections in the
part of the chart, regardless of
facts. The people of the lower
Rio Grande should protest
vigorously against this state Of
affairs and insist that the wealth
er bureau either obtain and pub |
fish accurate meteorological re
ports frem this section, or else
mark the Texas precipitation
chart so as TO show that no re |
port is received from this sta
ton.
