Washington, Feb. Acknowledge that a letter was public, claimed to have been written by Minister Dupuy DeEome, in which the president was criticised. was current in Washington tonight. When ac quainted with this fact the Spanish min- ister declared if such a letter was in ex- istence it was a pure fabrication without an iota of truth in it.
 Among congressman and diplomats 1t was considered probable that should the letter be proven authentic it would result in a change of ministers.

child and made a pet of at. Instances
OF that kind were not infrequent, and there
are to-day little children whose lives were
spared, who have been adopted by some
of the Spanish troops The little thing
was bright and playful and became
general taVorite. 1t was tenderly cared
for and its pranks were the delight of
the men who had taken the child under
their protection. They taught it to speak
a few words, aud in spirit of jest had
taught it to say, when any one asked,
Who lives?" Cuba Ives
One day Gen. Weyler came into camp.
and, seeing the little child, asked how it
came into the camp. They told him that
1t had been adopted by the soldiers and
then one unthinking officer said: ASK it,
general, who lives?"
Weyler did so, and the little thing re-
piled: Live Cuba" Thereupon Gen.
Weyler drew his revolver from his pocket
and placed the muzzle of it at the mouth
of che infant and then said to it: BLOW
into it." As the child did so Weyler dis
charged the revolver. almost blowing the
head of the innocent child from its body
The soldiers protested. Mortified. They
said to Weyler that the child did not know
what it was saying, and that it would
have said Live Spain" just as willingly
had it been taught to do that. Weyler
shrugged his shoulders and turned on his
heel

Zebulon, Ga, April 15.-Court adjourned
yesterday afternoon, two or three days
earlier than was expected on account of
the case against Langford being continued

the penitentiary for life. II is claimed by
Langfords attorneys here in Pike coun-
ty, that he is ready and anxious for a trial
and that they regretted to make the mo-
ton for continuance, which was made on
the ground that Thomas Watson, who is
leading counsel in the case, had a very
serious sickness in his family.

that of Edward Stafford. co,ored This was
one of the shortest murder cases ever tried

to the Jury al $3.50 that night. The defend
ant introduced no evidence, relying entire
y on his statement which was 10 the ef-
feet that his action was entirely in self
defense, claiming that he and the negro
killed were alone playing cards on Sun
day evening. when he won all the negroes
money after which followed a fuss, the
negro attempting to draw a pistol, which
hung in his pocket giving Stafford time
to draw his pistol and shoot him. The jury

New York Letter in Philadelphia Press.
The question was asked whether the
reports of Weyler's personal cruelty had
been exaggerated, and the reply was in
slant and emphatic. Two facts which
came within this mans knowledge from
eye witnesses were spoken of by him as
horrible proofs of the absolute lack of lu-
man sympathy or OF the ordinary instincts
of humanity which especially characteriz-
ed weylerss rule. Not long after Weyler
went to Cuba a company of Spanish SOL
diers had fallen upon a little village and
had killed all of the adults in that VII
lage. A child only 2 years of age was
found unframed amid the awful carnage.
