WEGLER SCORES THE GOVERN
MENT.
An article written by General Weyler
has appeared IN a newspaper at Palma,
capital Of the island OF Maiorca. where
the General was born, and where his home
is situated The General says that 81 the
government had been prepared Spain
would now be covered with glory.
Continuing. General Weyler asserts:
That the Spanish army and navy are
superior I'm discipline TO the Yankees.
whose lack of discipline was manifested
In the loss Of the Maine"
General Weyler then accuses the Span
ish government Of weakness. and con-
cludes with making pessimistic state
ments regarding the future.
I'm the Congress to-day resolution
Of homage" in honor Of those killed in the
naval engagement OFF Cavite was adopted
unanimously The message OF the Queen
Regent was then adopted. The Kepubli-
cans, Carlists and Conservatives voting

ENGLAND'S OFFER REJECTED.
The official account Of Captain-General
Augustus communication as TO the offer
OF the British Consul at Manila TO place
all Chinese subjects in the Philippines
under the protection of the British nag
says: Captain-Gencral Augusu wires
that tba Tgriffch Consul called unOu him
to say that he wOuls take the Chinese
subjects In the Philippines under the
British flag In order 10 safeguard their
lives and property. The Captain-General
added that a number OF rich and infiueE-
tial Chinese at Manila had assured MIN
that they were satisfied with the protcc-
ton of Spain.
The Secretary Of the Colonies replied
90 Captain-General Augusu that there
was no need for the protectorate which
the British Consul wished 70 exercise.
The British Consul's offer had been COM
municated to the powers.
The government apparently sees some
deep laid machination on the part OF
Great Britain, for the official note says:
This news caused surprise. although
people are accustomed to the methods Of
those who direct British interests
THE MOTIVE QUESTIONED.
The question is asked: what can be
the object of the British request. China
is not in a position TO expect this or any
other protectorate, but the British take it
upon themselves to be the protectors of
the Celestial Empire against the French,
German and Russian ambitions with a
view apparently 10 acquire new title
by the protection of Chinese in the Phil
ippines. The Spanish government cannot
accept the role offered IL, and rejects the
proposition at the same time informing
the powers who are not disposed TO allow
Great Britain to protect Chinese. that
they have squadrons in the far east
themselves for that purpose.

of Santiago de cuba. 1t has population
of about 2 100 souls in times Of peace.
There is no knowing what its population

The Spanish merchants and residents of
BaydmO. II appears were in great fear
of plunder and massacre, but General
Garcia issued a proclamation declaring
that the property of Spaniards and their
civil rights would be respected. The
General also personally assured the lead
ing Spaniards of the place that they were
perfectly safe in remaining at Bayamo
with the result that business went on as
usua! and tranquility prevails there.
The people began bringing in vegetables
and meat from the country and the
prices Of provisions fell. No cases OF
outrage have been reported.
General Pando is understood to be at
Manzanillo with the main body of the
troops whose operations he has been di-
Tectng
Up to April 9th about 5000 men or one

COMPANY RESTRAINED,
John Pilling Asked That 1t be Re.
strained From Stopping a
Drain at Newark,

Chancellor Nicholson yesterday morn.
ing granted rule, returnable on Tues.
day, October Is, at Dover, to show cause
why a preliminary injunction should
not issue against the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company to prevent the stopping
OF a train at Newark. The rule was
granted upon the application of John
Pilling, who was represented by Benja-
min Nields.
Mr.. Pil)ing in his petition recites that
for thirty-four years he has resided on a
property on Main street, Newark, ad-
joining lands of William Dean, r. J..
and NJ. E. Robinson and the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Co., and that for twenty
years an ancient water course or drain,
leading from his house, has run upon
the railroad company's lot. He alleges
that the respondent has threatened to
cut off the drain at or near the division
line. Such a deed he maintains would
work him irreparable injury, and he
thereupon prays for an injunction. The
chancellor restrains the company until
his further order.
Argument was heard in the case of
Minnie Harris vs. Albert Buehler and
Justice of the Peace Kelly. Peter L.
Cooper Jr., represented the complainant
and William T. Lyman the respondents.
The complainant claims that Judgment
was obtained against her in an illegal
manner. Decision was reserved.
The Security Trust and Safe Deposit
Co., trustee of the McClary estate, was
authorized to sell certain securities.
Chancellor Nicholson appointed A.
d. Irvine, A. L. Foster and Henry A.

late Henry du Pont, in place of f. |.

Two Mass Meetings on the Same
Date and on the Same
Corner.
SINGLE TAX AND DEMOCRAT
The Single Tax Men Were There
First But Chairman Neary
Does Not Mind That.
He Will BE
There Too.

There will be a political coming to-
gether on Saturday night that bids fair to
be very interesting.
Both the Single Takers and the Demo-
Gratis hold mass meetings on that night
and both hold their meeting on the same
corner.
Each party has exerted itself to secure
speakers whose words will carry weight
and whose voices will be heard for Elk
blocks in every direction.
In addition to their candidates the
Single Tax element will listen to John
Crosby, Esq, of New York, and Frank
Stephens, Of Philadelphia. They will
also hear the ablest speakers that Chair
man Neary, of the Democratic Executive
Committee can procure.
The meetings are to be held at Filth
and Shipley streets and a very lively
time is anticipated.
The Single Takers claim that they
selected this particular corner fret and
that the Democrats are interlopers.
Mr.. Neary was informed by one of the
Single Tax leaders that he was encroach-
ing upon the rights of their party. but to
use the words of the Single Tax man,
"That gentleman, however, treated us
with scorn and positively refused to
change the location of his meeting"
A very lively time is anticipated as
we said before and considerable curl
osity is evinced to know what speakers
will be matched. Considering the fact
that the Single Tax orators are strong
lunged and Chairman Neary's confident
scorn it is thought that his speakers will
use megaphones. Take your corners.
