The monument to Emperor William I,
unveiled at Berlin during the festivities
attending the one huudredth anniversary
of his birth, represents the old kaiser on
horseback, the horse being led by the
Goddess of Peace. The Goddess of Peace
tc the fore is piobably to commemorate
the fact that the reign of William / was
the most warlike of any monarch of Eu-
rope in the last half century and he
himstlf the grentest soldier of them all.
He helped TO put down the German re-
pubiicans in the instruction of 1913.
Later he commanded in person the troops
that put down the rising in Baden. In
1861 William became king of Prussia,
putting the crown upon his own head at
his coronation, like Napoleon. In 1864
came the Sleswick .Holstein war, with
Denmark on one side and Austria and
Prussia Oh the other. Then, after Austria
and Prussia had seized the Sleswick-
Holstein provinces, they quarroled over
the spoils. and the Austro-P russian wal

GENERAL CASTILLO BETRAYED.
Captured by the Spnnfards in Cuba
and Shot.

New York, Oct pa dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says: The outgo-
inc authorities have struck Il heavy blow
at autonomy by permitting to use pre-
iudiced word) the killing of General Cas-
tillo. General Castillo was not killed i'll
open fight: he was betrayed by a Cuban
guard and captured by the Spaniards last
Friday and shot ON Monday morning. 1t
was more satisfactory to shoot him than
to treat him as !, prisoner OF war. Cas-
tillo commanded Havana province and
was beloved as an able and brave general
bv every Cuban under arms. His killing
will arouse desire for revenge that at
the present iuncture will tend to prevent
acceptance of autonomy. With an escort
of seven men Castillo was lying i'll with
fever in secluded spot when his guide
betrayed him. The exhibition of his body
has aroused Indignation even among Gen
eral Weyler's officers. Side by side with
him in the morgue was the body of a man
who starved to death. The two presented
a plain illustration of General Weylers
methods of conducting this war. A mani
festo will be circulated and signed by
President Capote and Generals Gomez
and Garcia, calling upon all Cubans not to
accept autonomy.

FREE TRADE EXTOLLED.
Opposition to the Movement for an
Imperial ZOllverein.

Manchester England, Nov. 2. : Lord
Rosebery addressed a large meeting here
this evening i'll connection with the cen
tenary anniversary of the chamber OF
commerce. He reviewed the history of
free trade ellborately, eulogizing it as an
advantage to England. Lord Rosebery
contended that the condition of agricul
ture abroad, despite bounties and protee-
tive tariffs, was little better, and in some
cases was worse, than in England. He
fully agreed with Sir Wilfred Laurier,
who declared that any deviation from
commercial freedom would only weaken
the bonds holding the empire together,
and that anything in the direction of an
imperial zollverein would weaken the en-
pire internally and excite the permanent
hostility of the whole world, already ex
cited by British prosperity under free
trade. He said he would tread softly in
the presence of an idea of zollverein, for
he believed it already dead. 1t behooved
them to walk strongly and warily in the
path Of empire, but such zollverein
would form permanent menace of war.
