WEYLER'S TROUBLES
The Willy General Is Ordered
to Remain In Havana
Arrest Probable.
THE TEMPERANCE TEMPLE
Much Anxiety Is Felt In New
York Over the Nom Arrival
Of a Steamship.
Mr.. CLEVELAND HAS A BOY

HAVANA, Cuba, October 3D. Gen.
eral Weyler has been ordered by the
Madrid government to remain In
Havana until General Blanco arrives
This may mean that Weyler will be
sent home under arrest for refusing TO
obey orders to give the command to
General Castillano. Serious trouble IS
looked for, as Weyler is using all his
means to excite sympathy.
New YORK, October 28.-A dispatch
to to-day's Journal gives an interview
by its Madrid correspondent with Prime
Minister Sagasta. While his language
is guarded, the statements convey the
impression that the situation is critical.
Senior Sagasta said: "We shall not
learn the true attitude of the American
government until we receive an answer
regarding the filibustering expeditions
My impression is peaceful, and trust
the United States will acknowledge the
justice Of the Spanish case, as all the
European press is now doing. How
ever, will not dissolve the cortes un-
til the clouds which now darken the
horizon of the international situation,
are cleared up"
New YosK, O,tober 28.--A special
dispatch to the Sun, from Havana,
says reliable information has reached
there, from Madrid, that the Spanish
governm ment has adopted new plan TO
end the revolution. Emissaries are en-
route from Spain to attempt to bribe
the most important revolutionists.
Two million dollars have been set aside
for this purpose.

PROBABLY LOST.
Mach Anxiety is Felt over the Nsn-Asrivai Of
Steamship.

NEW YORK, N. X, October 28.--
The anx,ety felt in this city regarding
the non-arrlval ofthe British steamship
.Antllia" due from Nassau Sunday
last, has developed into well defined
fear that she is lost with all on board.
For four days the officers Of the CON-
pany have been besieged by the
anxious friends of the cabin passengers
and the .Antilia's y" crew Of eighteen
men. The vessel must have encount-
cred the big storm which ragged along
the coast, last week, which deepens
the suspicion that something has
happened to her. Incoming steamers
report hard tussle with the storm,
but have seen nothing of the missing
steamer. The steamer ''Grand Du-
chess'' from Savannah, reported, to-
day, having sighted the wreckage
from a large vessel off Hatteras.

FINE A WOMAN Jo1Nr1sr.
County Attorney of Russell After
Liquor Law Violators.

Russell, Nov 13-CompIaint was
made sometime ago of liquor selling in
Waldo, a small town in the northern
part of the county on the Union Pa
cific., Lincoln & Colorado railroad. Two
persons, Abe Michael and his wife Rose
were charged in IA counts with selling
liquor and maintaining a nuisance. The
case was tried before Justice L. A.
Pangburn of Waldo last week and the
woman was found guilty on one count
and sentenced to 80 days in jail and
costs amounting to about $96.
1t was announced that an appeal will
be taken but it is not likely to reach
the district court as a worse sentence
might befan her, owing to new evil
dence. One or two persons alone seem
ed to have the moral courage to try to
enforce the law. Fear of injury by the
1aWlesS element makes the law hiding
stand inactive. This is the first convic-
tiOn for liquor selling in several years
in this county. Two informations have
been filed in the district court against
liquor law breakers and will some up
in January.
