The passengers on the train were annoyed
by Hoey's actions. Mayhap many Of them
had in times past laughed at the unctuous
humor of the tramp who stole the redhot

to the comedian roaring out the lines of his

WEYLER TO BE RECALLED.
Pail Mall Gazette's Madrid Corre-
spOndent Snys BlhneO and Macias
VIII Succeed the Butcher.

London, June 29.-The Pail Mall Gazette,
this afternoon, prints the following dis
patch from its correspondent at Madrid:
Public attention is engrossed by the ap-
pointment of General Stewart S. Woodford
as United States minister to Spain. While
the government continues to repudiate the
intention of recalling General Weyler,
am in a position to reiterate that his recall
will be an accomplished fact at no distant
date. I learn that in all probability Cen
erals Blanco and Macias will proceed to
the island and divide the supreme COM
mand, and I have good reason to believe
that. coincident with the arrival here Of
General Woodford. Marshal MartineZe
Campos will proceed upon a separate mis-
sion to Cuba. In accordance with the wishes
of President Mckinley. Martinez Campos
should be the executor of any arrange
ments possibly reached between Spain and
the United States. Indications do not point
to any arrangements being reached with
the United States. and intimate friends of
Senor Canova de Ia Castillo declare the
premier will strcnuously oppose autonomy.
CASTELAR,, the Liberal leader, IS also op-
posed 10 anything of the kind. They both
consider that such a concession would rem
der it very difficult to maintain Spanish
sovereignty"

NEEDS 10000 MORE TROOPS.
General weyIer Must Have Another
Vast Army in Order to Conquer
Eastern Cuba.

Havana, June 29.-General Weyler will
require at least $1,000 more troops to con-
cuer the eastern provinces and hold them
for Spain. Colonel Garamendi, a member
of weyler's general staff, and private sec
retary to the commander-in-chief, will go
to Madrid this week as the bearer of con-
fidential dispatches to Premier Canovas
and the Spanish war department, In which
demand is made for 1900 additional re-
cruitS.
All regular troops that can be spared
from Pinar del Rio, the Western trocha,
Havana, MatanZas and Santa Clara dis
tricts, are being concentrated at Sanu
Spiritus, where Weyler has directed the
immediate organization of fourteen col
umns at the head of which he will try
to drive Gomez across the new trocha end
invade Puerto Principe province, where
CalixtO Garcia's forces are now massing.
Weyler expects a great pitched battle
when he meets Garcia. the result of which
may be the turning point in the war.
Should Weylers army meet with defeat,
Spain will then be ready to listen TO Pres
ident McKinley's offer of Intervention. IL
Spain wins, and Garcia be routed, Weyler
will assume a magnanimous role, proclS-tm
general amnesty and offer the Cubans com
plete autonomy and full personal and polit-
ical guarantees under the Spanish nag.
Should these OvertureS be refused. II is
predicted that the war Of determination,
with all fits horrors, will be waged to the
bitter end.

OHIO DEMOCRATS TALKING OF A. j.
WARNER FOR GOVERNOR.
HE IS A RECEPTIVE CANDIDATE.
A MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO BRING OUT
A NEW MAN.
Democratic State Central Committee
Fnvors Giving the silver Repub-
Iicans One Place on Tick
et-LIttIe Opposition
to Mclean.

Columbus, O., June 29.-The Democratic
state central committee this afternoon
gave a hearing TO the representatives OF
the State League of Silver Republicans
and finally adopted a resolution recon-
mending that the committee on rules desig-
nate one place on the state ticket TO be
filled by the State league of Silver Repub-
licans. This is the closing of the efforts
at fusion that have been in progress. The
silver Republicans. when this concession
was made, withdrew their objections TO
Hough and other candidates.
When the delegates met at 4:3O p. m. by
districts, it developed that there was a
strong feeling against some of McLeans
managers, because of their attempt to dc
tate the state nominations, especially that
of r. T. Hough for governor. After the
pulse of the delegates had been felt in
these preliminary meetings, conference
was called for tonight between McLeans
managers and other leaders. The Mclean
men carried all Of the twenty-one congress
sional districts by large majorities for
members of the state central committee
and for all the other committees, but
many who co-operated with them at these
meetings objected to the word being elVen
out for any one of the dozen candidates
for governor as against the other candi-
dates who have spent months in their re-
spectiVe canVaSSeS.
After the meetings OF Ine ueleedloS Dy
districts there was a movement tonight
to bring out q new man for governor, one
who has not been involved in the compli-
cations of the past two days, and General
A ]. Warner. president of the National Bi-
metallic League and one of the original
silver advocates in congress, was most
prominently mentioned as the dark horse.
General Warner has been here all week and
is regarded as a receptive candidate Tor
governor.
The convention assemblies at 10 a. m. to-
morrow and II is stated that there will be
no recesses or adjournment until a nomtna-
ton is made for governor II II takes all
NiaiRa as we'll as all day to dispose of that
saf8 -. II is believed that some of the
caNHSites will drop out before the start,
but INT there will be almost dozen names
presented for governor and that the ballot
ing will be tedious.
At the meeting of the committees to-
night it was decided to make the tempo
rary organization permanent so as TO pro-
ceed with business without delay. Hon
Ulric Stone will preside during the Gay,
and Colonel w. A. Taylor Will be secre-
tary. The committee on CREDENTIALS decld-
ed all the contests in favor of the Mclean
delegates.
The new state central committee was or
ganized by the Mclean men; Daniel NC
Connville was reelected chairman of the
state executive committee by vote OF ~
to !, which indicated the strength OF the
Mclean delegates on all the committees.
