note until she reached her home and then
promptly showed it to her brother. who,
arming himself and notifying the neigh

WEYLER CALLED DOWN.
Spanish Cabinet Desires an Explapa l.
tion of rs Remarks

Madrid, Nov. AT the meeting of
the Spanish cabinet yesterday it was
decided to demand an explanation from
Gen. Weyler of the remarks he 9made
in his farewell address on Sunday last.
Previous to embarking on the steamer
MOntserrat which conveyed him to
Spain, Gen. Weyfer received a deputa-
tiOn of autOnOmists, and in his address
to them he said in part:
MY release from my post and re-
sponsibilities did not surprise me. I
had expected it from the death of Senor
CanOvas, not believing that any politi-
cal leader would be strong enough to
sustain me when the United States and
the rebels were together constantly de-
manding that Spain should come to set
tIement. 1 count it an honor to have
been Identified with the local Spanish
party. But the policy which ] have
followed was not adopted in obedience
to any political party but for what it
represented on behalf of my country.
Before 1 came I was well aware of the
patriotic conduct OF the volunteers; and
since my arrival, I have seen il Illus
trated. 1 have repeatedly advised the
Spanish party not to be intimidated
but to make known to the home gov
ernment the outcome of the reforms,
which have been put in force. AS for
the future, L offer myself, and shall all
ways hold myself in readiness, to serve
the party aiming to retain Cuba for
Spain.

Young was drowned in Lake Michigan at
the foot of Monroe street yesterday after
noon while attempting to descend from
his balloon in parachute. Thousands
of persons witnessed the accident.
Young ascended from the winter circus
at Hubbard court and Wabash avenue.
A brisk wind was blowing and the airship
quickly veered to the east. Immediately
over Lake Front park Young was seen to
loosen his parachute and make ready to
desert the balloon. Evidently something
went wrong, for the aeronaut failed to
drop and the balloon, suddenly exploding,
fell into the lake. Young was seen to
struggle violently to free himself and
then sink. The life crew dragged the
lake for the body, but were unable to
bring it up.
