WEYLER's LETTER TO sAGAsTA
Previncial Governors of Cuba Resign
Attempt May Be-Made to Buy OFF
the Insurgent Leaders.

Provincial Governors of Cuba Resign
Attempt May Be-Made to Buy OFF
the Insurgent Leaders.
Madrid, Oct. 12.-The cabinet today
held four-hours' session, during
which the decision previously arrived
1t regarding the recall from Cuba of
General Weyler was confirmed.
El Heraldo makes an announcement
that the captain-general of Porto Rico
will be appointed acting governor of
Cuba, pending the arrival of Marshal
Blanco.
In reply to an inquiry by Premier
Sagasta, Captain-General Weyler has
sabled the following statement to the
government:
The principle which constitute my
character, as well as my well-known
military history, are strong guaranty
THAT / have never created, nor will l
ever create, any difficulties for the con-
stituted government, be that whatever
it may. have always been and in
every case shall be the first man to ac-
Icept, respect, obey and enforce the gov
ernment's orders. / would not allow
Ally uGulOlSbTdbiOu W ~ pOJoho eAAo
Expression of personal affection and
approval of my policy. Weyler."
,I In reply to number of Cuban sena-
itors who had offered their support to
the government. Premier Sagasta
said that the government would devote
itself first to the pacifcation of Cuba
{ and would then introduce in the island
q model administration. The govern. /.
ment, the premier added, considered
that the pacfcation of Cuba would ia
: lcilitate the restoration of peace in the
Philippines, where the situation is now
serious.
The Imparcial says the Spanish gov.
ernment will take rapid measures on
account of the spread of the rebellion
in the Philippines. 1t is said that
General Rivera, former captain-gen
eral of Madrid, who succeeded General
Polevija. as governor of the Philip.
pines. has resigned.

-cubans Forced the rrocha.

+ New York, Oct. 12.-The Herald's
Havana special via Key West says a
large body of insurgents succeeded in
forcing passage through the trocha
in Camaguay. This invading army is
said to be commanded by General CAL
ixto Garcia. Other reports say Gen
eral Gomez joined Garcia's forces in
Camaguay and together started west
ward. The report that the Cuban
forces consist of the Oriental infantry,
the Camaguay cavalry and three bat
teries caused stir here. It is said
that the Cubans, flushed by their re-
cent capture of Victoria de Las Lunas,
will carry the bulk of their army to
the Western province.
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1897-10-15
Spain Is Hard Pressed.

London, Oct. IL. - An American
diplomat here says the condition Of
Spain is even worse than the CORE.
spondents depict. Whoever is sent to
Cuba, he adds, will attempt to buy off
the iflsurgent leaders. The diplomat
further says the Spanish government is
SO hard pressed for money that it is at
tempting to sell all the public lands
#aad buildings that can possibly be
spared. Not only have the soldiers
hsen unpaid since March, but the PEN
son lists are in arrears.
ssis BOD IL a.sreourse between the
American minister at Madrid and the
Spanish officials and the diplomatic
corps had been suspended for more than
a year. This was partly due to the
fact that Hannis Taylor, the former
United States minister to Spain, was a
persona non grata to most of the mem
bers OF the diplomatic corps. For 18
months Mr.. Taylor had not been on
speaking terms with the French and
Austrian ambassadors, nor with the
papal nuncio. The rupture with the
French ambassador was because Mr..
Taylor protested against being omitted
from the list of guests at reception
given by the ambassadors.

CITY OF MEXICO. Jan. 25.-Various
travellers just arriving from from Cuba
confirm the capture of Santa Clara by
the Cubans and also bring news that
the insurgents have been fighting in the
near vicinity of Havana, and few days
ago wrecked a passenger train within
two miles of that city. Two young En-

York and Lee A. Hervey, have reached
this city after having passed several
weeks in Cuba and with the insurgent
army part of the time and the remain
der in the field with the Spanish troops.
Hervey has received shot through the
left arm. They are preparing report
for Senator Cameron which will be for
warded to Washington in few days.
The Cubans are not in want of men,
but money, ammunition and medicine.
There are not over 20, 900 Cubans, while

All operations are in the nature of
guerilla warfare and both sides are sys-

country will be reduced TO barbarism.
The Cubans are relying on being favored
by Mckinley and expect Immediately on
his Inauguration he will recognize their
belligerency if not their independence.
Hervey gives a graphic account of the
capture of Santa Clara by the insur-
gents where the utmost gallantry We're
displayed the Spanish being overcome
by the magnificent valor of the patriots
Hervey says it was told him in the
Cuban camp that Maceo had his lower
jaw shot away but was alive and re-
cuperating.
General Gomez is not treating for
peace and although there is peace
party among the Cubans it is a small
one.
The capture of the town of Agutec by
the Cubans was brilliant piece of
work. Three thousand Spainards held
the place but the Cubans showed better
generalship.
AT Santa Clara the Cubans took and
held the town just long enough to ruin it.
Hervey does not consider there is any
decided prospect of victory for either
side

KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. GA horri-
BILE story comes from Jumento, province
of Santa Clara, telling of quick retibu-
ton to the Spaniards for their butchery
and barbarous methods of warfare.
A Spanish force under Captain Mar
tell entered the place, which had been
a camp of the insurgents, and before
going away secretly poisoned the wells
and fine spring that is noted for miles
around as affording extra pure water
That evening Spanish band of guer
rillas entered thstown after the others
had left and camped ont. They used
the water, al before the trouble could
be asoertained over 90 men died.
The guerrilla captain was furious,
and he charged the Cuban residents
with poisoning his men. They took a
lot of the principal residents prisoners
and putting them in rows shot them
dead. The women were then turned
over TO the tender mercies Of the men
Several young boys who attempted 10
save their mothers and sisters were
ruthlessly shot down. The place was
burned, the captain swearing that not
one board should be left to mark the
place. The next day some Of the sol
dies from the first company were seen
aud they told the story Of the trap tn
had set for the Cubans, but were hor-
rified 10 learn that their own compan-
