CHICAGO, June 15.-A dispatch to
the Chicago Record from Washington
says: Unless General Weyler is with
drawn soon and there is a change in
the policy of the Spanish Government
80 far as the treatment of on-com bat
ante is concerned, the President of the
United States will indicate to Spain 10
forcible and unmistakab BILE language the
displeasure with which he views the
atrocities that are being practiced upon
the helpless pacificos of Cuba and the
suffering that follows their concentra-
ton in fortified citee. Just what form
this remonstrance will take has not yet
been decided by the officials of the State
Department, who now have the matter
under consideration.
The President has unofficially been in
formed that Weyler is, to be withdrawn
and corciliatory tactics are to be pur-
sued. If such ie the case the whole as
pect will be changed and peace may be
restored by granting complete autonomy
ment. But if Weyler is permitted to re-
main, the President, it is believed, will
feel compelled, in the interest of hui
manity, to notify Spain that the nom
combatants' must not be concentrated
in small citiee, where they cannot obtain
sufficient food and medical treatment
and where they are exposed to ravaging
diseases and suffer untold hardships.
A NERVY ATTORNEY.
NEW YORK, June ia dispatch to
the Journal from Havana says: Capt.
Laborde and other members of the cap
tured Cuban filibuster Competitor expe-
dition, whose retrial has been fixed for
July /, have selected Senor Mesa Do
minguez, a weil-known Cuban lawyer
as counsel to appear in their defence.
Though the fact of his acceptance OF
their case may cause Weyler to order
his deportation to Chafarinas or Fer
nando as happened in the cases of other
counsel here in daring to defend Amer.-
cans before a Spanish court, DOminguez
has taken up the defense of the Compel
itor men without promise or hope Of re-
Enumeration.
SUBMARINE DESTROYER.
NEW YORK, June ia dispatch to
the Press from Lockport N. Y, says:
Last month young Cuban came here
and took measurements on the canal
locks. He could not explain the nature
of his visit. This morning he came
through here on a strange craft, cigar
shaped, fifty feet long and bound for
New York, where it is said, he will turn
the boat over to the Cuban junta. The
boat was built by the Globe Shipbuild-
ing Company of Cleveland and is in
charge Of Frank Lambson, engineer.
and William Berlin of the Cleveland
Company. Three Cubans are on board
They are Antonio Muzario. Regina
Aguirre and Calaxto Reveni. The vessel
is a submarine destroyer The outer
shell is of steel and the boat itself Is
operated by steam. 1t has no smoke
stack as its generating apparatus con-
sumes no smoke. 1t can attain a speed
of twenty-eight miles an hour and has
shown even higher rate of speed in a
recent official trial on Lake Erie. The
fires under the boilers are fed with
bituminous coal and crude petroleum
When beneath the surface of the water
the steam is turned into a condenser or
a reservoir which will hold it until the
surface is reached when the vapor is al
lowed to escape.
Much of this steam returns to water
in the meantime and is properly Sc
cured. The boat is running through the
canal at a uniform rate of ten miles an
hour
Mr. Berlin said the boat was to be used
for dynamiting purposes and to protec'
the landing of filibustering expeditions
upon the island of Cuba. This submar-
inc diver is calculated to battle all the
torpedo catchers and destroyers and
thus fasten death and destruction to
Spanish gunboats and cruisers patroling
the high seas and approaches to Cuba

A vessel supposed to be the Dauntless,
came into Hillsborough bay last night
and took on a cargo of arms and ammu-
milton from a schooner lying at anchor

sailed away. A report was sent out

throw the officers off their guard. and
