MURDER IN THE AIR.
A Terrible Experience Among Blood
Thirsty and aicrciIess Natives.

Thirsty and Mcrciless Natives.
During the recent Mashona uprising
il was reported in England that W. Z.
Brand,ay young prospector, had beenmur-
dered by the natives. lie afterward ca
bled from Fort Salisbury that lie was
safe. In a letter to his parents. who lived
Ut the instow. in North Devon, he mar
rates his experiences. Among other
things he wGitess
Groves and myself started from 10
Magundi on June 10, two days before
the war broke out. with seven boys
two Mashonas and five Zemhezis. met
two policemen on the road, 40 miles
from town; next morning both we're
murdered. / reached the store OIL the
18th and met Groves there. We left the
store next morning and started for
Angwe, go miles OFF. AS we passed
along we thought there was something
suspicious, as the niggers all had guns
and were hiding in the long grass.
went up to n kraal and asked for my
things which l had left there five
months ago, but they refused to give
them up, so l cleared.
I'VE finished our work at Angwe and
came back. When we got to the store
we saw four men who had been brutally
murdered, evidently by battle axes.
They were lying on their stomachs'
and had been dragged out of the store
into the veldt. They were blown out
TO a tremendous size, and when we
turned them over their faces were eaten
away. We walked to Jameson's camp
to see if we could find any more bodies.
Then we walked on to Ayres farm,
IS miles. where we thought we should
be safe, but had to shoot both my
Mashonas for safety. and lucky for me
that did. We arrived at Ayres at seven
a. m. where we thought we were going
TO have good breakfast, as we had had
nothing to eat for two days. rushed
up to the huts like mad. and just as
reached the first the brutes jumped up
all round us. with battle axes and knob
kerries, and yelled. They fired about
20 shots at us before we cleared. All
the boys were shot, and then they
chased us. One gave me n blow on the
back with n battle OK, but cut only
through my coat We shot six and ran
across place like the Burrows. bullets
tearing up the ground all around u.s.
but fortunately never hit us. One
bullet went through my hat, which was
not pleasant. At last we got away.
There must have been 800 or 400 Of the
brutes. We got into a wood and lodged
and then my legs gave way, and could
go no further.

oLNEY STANDS BY LEE.
Serves Notice That Spain Must Ite-
spcct American Rights.

spcct American Rights.
New York, March IA special to the
Herald from Havana, Cuba, via Key
West, Fla, says: While the state de-
partment has not backed up Consul
General Lee unreservedly the adminis-
tration has at last taken n firm stand
on one question, and that is the length
of time an American citizen can be held
incommunicado in a Spanish prison.
Upon this question Secretary 0lney
fairly plnced himself ON record shout
der to shoulder with Gen. Lee. He has
authorized Gen. Lee to demand the re-
lease of each and every American who
may be arrested and kept inconlmuni-
cado for more than ~ hours. He has
informed the Madrid government of he
clear and well defined attitude our gov
ernment has assumed on this question.
Only few weeks ago Gen. Weyler in
formed Gen. Lee, both verbally and in
writing, that the Spanish government
had and proposed to exercise, the right
of keeping Americans in prison and in
communicate 70 days if it should be so
decided. The treaty rights contained
in the treaty of l705 and explained and
interpreted by the protocol of 1878 had
ceased to exist conteDded Gen. Weyler
the moment that his proclamation of
martial law was published. Gen. Lee
reported the mere f9cts to our govern
ment, and as result the foregoing in
| structions have been Forthcoming. 1t
remains to be seen what policy the Mad
rid government will assume.
New York, March 1.-The Herald's
correspondent in Havana sends the fol-
lowing via Tampa: II am informed on
the very highest authority that Capt.
Gen. Weyler has forwarded his resigna-
tion to the Spanish government at
Madrid. The captain general, am also
Informed, will leave the island as soon
as possible, probably in about three
weeks. This decisive step Gen. Weyler
determined to take, my authority says,
as soon as he heard of the release Of
Julio Sanguilly. The captain general
had frequently said that he would re-
sign If the crown should interfere with
his policy in regard to prisoners, es-
pecially Americans, and he was in
censed, l am told, beyond measure at
being ignored in the negotiations car
lied on by the Spanish government in
the case of the notable captive San
gully, who was released on Friday. 1t
is reported that Gen. Ramon Blanco
Y Arenas, the marquis of Peua Plato,
may be appointed to succeed Gen. Wey-

SAYS WAR is CERTAIN.
Greece Thinks the Powers VIII Have
Trouble Over Crete.

London, March 1.-According to the
Athens correspondent of the Daily
Mail, the public feeling there is nothing
can prevent the powers from coming to
blows over Crete. The rumor was cir
culated yesterday morning that the
English flag alone had been hoisted over
the fortress of Izzeding. Everybody im-
mediately lcaped to the conclusion that
England was trying 10 steal march on
the other powers by seizing Suda har>
Dor.
1t seems certain to the Daily Nails
correspondent that one of the powers
is now urging the sultan to take the
offensive Immediately, possibly with
the intention of stepping in to protect
Greece in case the Turks should overrun
Thessaly, but more probably with the
ulterior design of seizing Constanti-
nople.
The Daily Mails advices from Canea
report serious news from Gambia. COL
Coracas, with $4,000 insurgents and
three guns. threatens to attack Hiera-
petra, where the garrison is Ill supplied
with arms and ammunition and the
forts are weak. 1t is feared that this
may seriously complicate the situation.
A famine is imminent in Gambia, and
it is apprehended that the troops there
may pillage the district. Fighting is
in progress at Malata. The Bashi-ba-
zouks lost three killed and five wound
ed. The regulars lost eight killed and
five wounded.
The Daily Nails Constantinople COR
respondent reports that $4,000 troops
have already been removed from Asia
into Europe. The railway officials can
not provide for forwarding these SOL
diers toward Salonica at the rate of
more than 5000 daily.

tween the Two Nations.
London, March "A dispatch to the
Times from Constantinople says that all
relations between the courts of ST.
Petersburg and Athens have been
broken off. The Athens papers state
that King George will shortly proceed
to Thessaly to maneuver $4,000 men on
the Pharsalia plains; 5000 troops who
were in garrison at Junina have been
dispatched tc the frontier. 1t is alleged
that they pillaged Christian villages
while EN- route.
London, March 2.-The Daily Chron-
icle says there is little doubt that the
serious hitch in the concert of the pow
ers is due, first, to the lack of wisdom on
the part of the government, and, second
ly, to the wrath of Emperor William,
who, the Chronicle says, deeply resents
the form of Lord Salisbury's announce
ment of the policy of Great Britain
toward Crete, especially the suggestion
that Great Britain las taken the lead
in the concert.

ASKED FOR wARsHIPs.
Confirmation of Reported Request Of
Gen. Lee.

Gen. Lee.
New York, March "A special from
Washington to the Herald says that
public confirmation of the Havana dis.
patches printed in the Herald concern.
ing Gen. Lees demand for war ships,
his threat to resign and the difference
existing between him and the secretary
of state is officially given by President
Cleveland in a message which he sent
to the senate on Monday. This message
confirms every statement made in the
Havuna cable printed in the Herald, the
truth of which Secretary Olney is now
forced to admit officially in the face OF
his repeated denials.
The distinct points made were that
Consul-General Lee would not stand
another Ruiz MURDER" that he demand
ed the use of war ships for the protec-
ton of American citizens, and that he
would resign in case he were not sup
ported by the administration. These
three points are forcibly brought out
in Consul-General Lees cablegrams re-
garding the case of Charles Scott, a ma
tive American citizen, agent of a gas
company in Havana.
Whether Corsul-General Lee was sup.
ported in his demands is not shown, as
none of the communications from the
state department in the Scott case is
given, but it is shown by two dis
patches that Scott was released from
solitary confinement on the same day
that Gen. Lee threatened to resign.
