Robbers Torture a Farmer to Death.
KENDALLVILLE, Ind, Oct 15.-Adam
Huffman. one of the largest land owners in
northern Indiana, was murdered last night
by robbers in his house, near Brimfeld,
Noble county, and his hired man was so
badly injured he may not recover. About
o'clock this morning two masked men en-
tered Huffman's house to secure money he
was supposed to have hidden away After
having bound and gagged the hired man,
who slept in the upper story, the robbers
made for Huffmans room. Huffman was
awakened by the noise and got up to find
himself covered with four revolvers. The
robbers demanded the hiding place of his
money. Upon his refusal they bound him
to one end of the bed, and, with another
rope, which they tied around his neck, they
began terrible two-hours torture by pull
ing him until he would strangle thinking he
would at last give up. The robbers con-
tinued this for two hours, and, after seeing
that Huffman would not give up, they
choked him to death Huffman and the hired
man were the only inmates of the house.
They were not discovered until late this
morning by neighbor.

GEN. WEYLER NOT SORRY

had been promised to him before he left

Cubnns Do Not Want Annexation.

LONDON, Oct. 15.-Colonel Jose Zayas,
who says he is accredited by the Palma Gu
ban Junto, of New York, as minister pleni
potentary to Great Britain from the Cuban
republic. in interview, is quoted ex-
pressing the belief that the war in Cuba will
not last another year. Spain, says Colonel
Zayas, cannot finance the campaign and
should have accepted the insurgents offer
of $150,000,000 for the island, under the guar
antee of the United States. Colonel Zayas
does not anticipate assistance from the
United States. All the Cubans desire, he
says, is fair play and the recognition of
beligerent rights, so that they can secure
the necessary supplies for their troops. III
conclusion, Colonel Zayas is quoted as say
ing: There is no truth whatever in the
opinion expressed in England that the Gu
bans desire annexation to the United States.
We are fighting for independence and do
not banker after annexation, which will not
be the outcome of the struggle. There is
not the least likelihood of the Cubans ac
cepting autonomy. Independence or death
is our motto"

FOR GOLD STANDARD.
British Cabinet Opposed to BimetnI-
Iism-MemOriaI from Bankers.

LONDON, Oct. 15.-The Globe, which has
close relations with the Cabinet ministers,
reiterates this afternoon that the govern
ment may be depended on to maintain the
gold standard inviolate, and adds: 1.-The
views of individuals, whether in the Minis
try or in bank parlor, count for next to
nothing
Following is a copy Of a memorial to the
chancellor of the sxchequer Sir Michael
Hicks-Be which has been extensively
signed by the leading English bankers, dis
count houses and merchants:
Strive, the undersigned, are engaged
in various mercantile, banking and finan-
cial enterprises in the city of London of no
slight magnitude, and we are, therefore,
deeply interested in all that affects the
monetary position of the country, the credit
of the bank note and the solvency of bank
ing institutions. We are aware of the visit
of the delegates from the President of the
United States TO this and other countries,
but have no authoritative information as
10 the nature of their proposals. From the
communication of the governor of the Bank
or England to yourself, lately made public,
and from general reports. we cannot but
assume that negotiations of some sort
touching the metallic currency of this coun-
try are proceeding. We feel impelled by
strong sense of duty respectfully to lay be-
fore her Majesty's government the follow
lance of which, we trust, may be apparent:
'First-That no alterations should be in
troduced affecting the circulating medium
of this country, except after full discussion
I'm Parliament and by the public at large
so that the changes proposed may have as
ample consideration as their Importance de-
serves.
'Second-That under no circumstances
whatever should the pledges of successive
governments to the British pound sterl-
ing and the single gold standard of this
country be set aside, either directly or in
directly, and that no steps should be taken
by or with the consent of our government
which has for it's object any alteration in
the value of that standard.
''Third-That this country, of the
great nations of the world enjoys under
her mint regulations a coinage system abb
solutely free from embarraSSments, in
ternal or external and we conceive that
of reliance upon engagements with other
countries would be a fatal mistake.
"Fourth-That the minis of India being
closed, as to the policy of which we express
no opinion, a state of circumstances has
arisen in which the greatest caution is nee
essary, whatever may be the next step
Which the Indian government may be adj
vised to take, but we urge that no retro
grade step be taken except upon as ex-
haustive an inquiry as that which led to
the present position, and then only if In
dian interests will be primarily benefited
thereby.
1--WE most strongly urge the foregoing
ment speaking, as we believe we are justi-
fed in stating, with some little knowledge
of the problems involved and of the inter
ests at stake and we are prepared, if nee
essary, to give our reason at length, If it
be your wish to receive deputation."
