BUTCHER WEYLER IS OUT.
THE GENERAL CABLES HIS RES.
IGNATION TO THE QUEEN.
CAUSED BY The CABINET CRISIS
The Captain General Could Not Serve
Under the Incoming sagasta
Regime.

A special to the New York Herald
from Havana says that General Wey-
Ter has resigned.
Weyler's resignation, while sudden,
will be taken as a result of the resig-
nation Of the Spanish cabinet of which
Weyler has had the full support and
sympathy. He has known Of Sagas-
ta's opposition to the resigned minis
try and has asserted that if Sagasta
was selected to form cabinet he would
resign. Weyler knows that he would
continue at the head OF the Spanish
army no longer than it would take
Sagasta to recall him.
He did not care to submit to a re-
call and as quickly as he was inform
ed of the change he cabled his resig-
nation.

The News in Washington.

A Washington special says: Minister
Woodford, up to the hour of closing
the department Thursday had not in
formed the state department Of the
Spanish cabinet crisis.
The main point of interest in Wash
ington at present is the composition Of
the new cabinet, and it is expected
that Mr.. Woodford will not neglect to
obtain and cable to his government
the earliest information possible on
TINT point in administration circles.
Opinions are fairly divided as to the
outcome, whether the new cabinet will
be liberal or conservative, and as that
is the matter of gravest importance to
our government, as influencing the
line Of policy to be followed as to
Cuba, there is strong desire to OBJ
tain information as to the prospects.
The president had scarcely reached
the white house Thursday morning
before Secretary Sherman called to see
him. He was closely followed by As
sistant Secretary Day, and although it
is understood that the latter's visit
had largely to do with the state
department appointments, it is not
doubted that there was discussion Of
the last Madrid developments.
In the absence Of the Spanish min
lister, Mr.. DuBose is the senior official,
but he has not called at the state de-
partment and has not, as far as can be
learned, received official advices from
Madrid.
Diplomats familiar with Spanish af-
fairs say the conditions point to one of
two results, namely, the complete col
lapse of the conservative regime which
has been responsible for the Cuban
policy and its succession by liberal
cabinet with pacific and conciliatory
tendencies toward Cuba, or else tran
sition ministry with Azcarraga again
at the head as q temporary expedient
to tide over affairs until the cortes can
meet and a permanent and stable min
istry be formed.

4 DIVIDED VERDICT.
Shooting Of Miners Declared Murder BY
Majority Of Coroner's Jury.

Shooting Of Miners Declared Murder BY
Majority OF Coroner's Jury.
The ooroner's jury which investiga.
ted the death Of the striking miners at
Lattimer met again Monday evening
in Deputy Coroner Cowan's Office, and
after On hours deliberation rendered
the following verdict:
"That from the circumstances OF the
case and the evidence offered, the said
Clement Platock and others, came TO
their deaths by gunshot wounds on
September 10, 1897, at the hands Of
Sheriff James Martin and his deputies,
and in this we, the jury, do all agree.
''And We, Phil J. Boyle, Thomas l..
Thomas, Barton Freas and Peter Nc
Herman, Of this jury, do further say
that the said Clement Platock, with
others, we're marching peaceably and
unarmed on the public highway; that
they were intercepted by said Sheriff
Martin and his deputies, and merci-
lessly shot TO death; and we do further
find that the killing was unnecessary,
and could heve been aovoided without
serious injury to either person or prop
erty; and we find, finally, that the kill
ing was wanton and unjusti6able, but
in this, we, George Maue and F. j.
MoNeal, Of this jury, do not concur.
"And we, the jury, do further say,
that there was such strong suspicion
of unlawful violence at the hands Of
person or persons unknown TO the jury
as to make this inquest necessary"
The residences Of many citizens
were damaged and several outsiders
were wounded.

BLOODY RIOT AMONG POLES.
Thisty.six Men We're wounded, Nine Of
Whom May Die.


Az least nine men received fatal
injuries and possibly two score others
were moro or less seriously wounded
in . bloody riot at Girardville, Pa. +,
late Sunday night and early Monday
morning.
The battle was the outcome OF q
quarrel over tho Hazelton troubles.
Thirty.six men are known to have
been wounded and about fifty more
are being secreted by their friends,
who fear they will be sent to Jail.
Twenty-Five Of the ringleaders were
carried before justices Of the peace.
All. were charged with assault with in
tent to kill, HOUSEKEEPING and riot
ing and were held in heavy bail for
court Many more warrants have
been issued.
One physician attended to twenty
two Of the wounded, nine of whom he
says will die. Two other doctors at
tended to fourteen others and there
are supposed to be other wounded
men not yet accounted for.
Several hundred Polanders board at
William Culacabbage's hotel, on Sec
ond street. Joseph Cavendish is pro-
prietor of q hotel OF the east end of
town, where several hundred more
Polanders make their headquarters.
Bad blood has existed between them
for long time aud the recent strike
troubles at Hazelton embittered them
still more.
Sunday night matters came to o
crises. Culacabbage, 1t is charged,
and his followers, to the number Of
several hundred, arming themselves
with guns, revolvers, knives, axes and
clubs, marched to Cavendish's hotel,
where several hundred Of their enc
mics were celebrating pay day.
The Cavendish men ascertained that
their foes were marching on them, and
arming themselves awaited their ar
rival. After demonstrative march
the Culacabbage contingent arrived
and Immediately stormed the saloon.
Then bloody battle ensued. The
men fought like demons, the shooting
was fast and furious-axes, knives,
clubs and other weapons being used
with deadly effect.
The battle lasted almost IN hour,
when the Culacabbage gang was rout-
ed, leaving their wounded behind.
Everything in the house was smash
ed and the floors were strewn with
wounded men. The walls were be-
spattered with blood and shreds Of
human flesh.
After the routed rioters had re-.
turned to their headquarters the Cav.
endish gang armed themselves to the
teeth and marched to their enemies
rendezvous, where battle still blood.
Ter than the first ensued.
The police force and the constables
of the surrounding region were called
to the scene, but were unable to cope
with the rioting horde, who continued
hostilities until morning.
The townspeople watched the pro-
gress Of the fight during the night,
but made no attempt to interfere.

The proposition of the Georgia
Mining, Manufacturing and Invest
ment Company to sell to the state their
coal and iron mines in Dade county
changed the entire convict situation
over night, and threw O new element
into the discussion. The proposition
has become an unexpected factor in
the settlement of the vexed question
which the committee has to handle.
Captain Anderson, who is chairman
of the committee of creditors of the
Georgia Mining Manufacturing and
Investment Company, made the offer,
agreeing to sell the $4,000 acres Of
land controlled by the creditors at the
government rate of $40 per acre, and
to throw in all improvements which
had been built thereon.
He urged his plan not only because
he felt that it would result in a profit
able enterprise for the state, but be-
cause it would give to the state prop
erty on which the convicts could i'm
mediately be placed without waiting
for the purchase of other property,
the employment of architects, or the
erection of buildings.
In reply to questions from members
of the committee, Captain Anderson
said that the machinery and equipment
on the property were in good repair,
but that to put the place in perfect
condition for the housing and main.
tenance of 1000 or more convicts an
expenditure of $4,000 would be nee
essary in the Dade and Castle Rock
mines, and of $4,000 on the lands of
the Walker company.
