Spain
Are Instructed to Nab Him
When He Lands.

Leaving Cuba.
Owing to an Accident to His
Vessel
The General Has Not Yet Left
the Island.

Madrid, Nov. 5.-The Spanish govern
ment as a result of the deliberations OF
the ministers over the utterances OF
Gen. Weyler, the former captain gen
eral of Cuba, has come to the decision
to try him by court martial, no mat
ter where he lands, if he confirms the
accuracy OF the press reports of his ut
teranceS.
The commanding officers at all the
ports of the Spanish kingdom have
been instructed to demand of General
Weyler, the moment he can be com
municated with, the exact terms of the
speech which he delivered in reply to
the manifestations at Havana upon the
occasion of his embarkment for Spain
on Sunday.
The steamer MOntserrat, on which
Gen. Weyler sailed for Spain on sun
day, on Wednesday, as cabled to the
Associated Press, reached Gibarra. on
the northwest coast of Cuba, with her
engines disabled and may be compelled
to return to Havana, in which case, it
is not unlikely that there will be inter-
eSting developments.

oNLY INrERVENTIoN
Can Stop the Cuban War Says Ex-
Minister TAYLOR.

New York, Nov. 5.-The Herald pre-
sents this morning a. remarkable letter
from Hannis Taylor, former United
States minister to Spain, in which, af-
ter telling of his strenuous efforts to
prevent a rupture of diplomatic rela-
tiOns between the two countries during
the dark days of the Competitor case,
he asserts that the ruling classes OF
Spain are determined to refuse any con-
cessions which would be accepted by
the Cubans.
Mr.. Taylor, the seal of secrecy hav-
ing been removed, tells how he and SEN
atOr CASTELAR, tried to persuade the late
Premier CanOvas to offer genuine re-
FERNS to the Cubans, as that otherwise
intervention by the United States must
follow inevitably.
This was Mr.. Taylor's attitude as a
diplomatic representative anxious to
prevent war For a time he believed,
he says, that the iron premier had
yielded. But when the proposed re-
forms were made public, he says; T
saw that the great man had triI1ed
with US as if we were children
Mr.. Taylor denOunces the hollow
ness and emptiness of the whole pre-
tense embodied in the royal decree OF
February, 1897" and after discussing
what he believes to be the attitude OF
Spain's ruling classes, says he sees no
solution of the Cuban problem which
will end the human strife except inter-
VentiOn by this country.

The executive council cannot remove

NOTED to the position of secretary, ,leav-
ing Senter's position vacant, and saw

CUBA Is LOST.
Prominent Cpbans Say it is Too Late
to Talk Autonomy.

New York. Nov. 5-The Herald says:
1T is too late to talk autonomy. Gu
ba is lost to Spain. Only independence
for the island will put an end to the
struggle now devastating the colony
and running Spain"
This is what eight leading Cubans-
all of whom formerly favored autonomy
told Senor Jose CanaIejas in the Fifth
Avenue hotel. These Cubans did not
represent the junta. for the junta viii
discuss autonomy with no one. but the
conference is the more remarkable in
its result because the men who talked
so firmly against any proposition except
Independence were formerly leading
autonOmists, who, in view of the recent
developments, say that were they to
listen to such a proposal. the insurgents
in the field would simply. scoff at it. as
an evidence, not of Spain's good faith,
but of her weakness and willingness to
promise concessions rather than pros
ecute a hopeless war.

Never Ate Solid Food.

Tommy Horton Is one of San Fran
cisco's freaks. Though % years old he
has the faculties and physical appear
ance OF boy early in his teens. He Is
by no means half-witted, for he has all
the wits of boy of 16. But at 3 his
mind naturally should have developed.
Until three weeks ago he has spent all
of his time at home, but now he has a
situation as errand-boy for a dealer in
microscopical supplies. This work has
taken him to scientists and through
them his condition became public.
Tommy, though born healthy, had
early in life all the infantile diseases
Besides, he had structure of the stom.
ach. as a result Of which his digestive
apparatus went on strike, and has
remained out Of work ever since. Then
he was ruptured. and afterward had q
severe attack of asthma.
Never in his life has he eaten a bit OF
solid food, and. for time. it was only
with the greatest difficulty that his
stomach could retain even milk and
water. He takes broths and baby foods
and sometimes goes for days without
an ounce of nourishment.
Consequently. for lack Of phosphates
his brain hasn't developed. He is left
in a lamentable condition Of naive
honesty. His skin is as smooth anG
innocent of hair as that of baby

apprenticed himself to shoemaker.
At the end of three years he was re-

make enough money to educate himself,
and he succeeded. He soon had saved
enough to enter the normal school at
