WEYLER's LETTER TO THE QUEEN.
Regretted He Wasn't Near Enough
to Punish the President.
From the New York Sun.

rum ANCN yin ONii'
The full text of Gen. Weyler's petition
to the Queen Regent of Spain asking her
10 demand from the United States an inn
mediate apology for President Mckinley 3
illusions in his message to Congress to
Weyler's methods of warfare has not been
printed in this country. In Spain the press
was strictly forbidden to publish the text
of the document for fear that it might
give rise 10 international complications,
and even the most rabid conservative
newspapers did not dare to disobey the
orders of the Sagasta cabinet.
1t will be remembered that the Spanish
government intended to court-martial
Gen. Weyler, but as the text of the letter
was not made public and the mere news
of Weyiers protest to the Queen did not
produce much impression in the United
States, after short examination of the
case by a council of generals it was deci-
ded that there was no cause to prosecute
the Butcher.
Weyler and his friends, however, circu
lated many copies of the famous protest
in Spain, and a special edition of it was
printed for his partisans in Havana Ei
Continente Americana of Mexico secured
one of these authentic copies signed by
Weyler and sent it to a Spaniard residing
in the neighboring republic. The docu-
ment is not dated, an omission very com
mon in Spain, and which was made con-
splcuous in this country in the now IA
nous letter of Senior Dupuy de LONE 10
Senior Canalejas. But 1t was doubtless
written late in December when Gen.
Weyler personally presented Il to the
queen, after the text of the American
Presidents message became known In
Spain. Dispatches from Madrid. edited by
The press censor, said, at the time that
Weyler's protest was moderate and re-

out the energetic protest of the govern
ment of your majesty.
THE heroic soldiers who are shedding
their generous blood In the fields of Cuba
to defend the sovereignty Of Spain, have
been insulted in a coarse and cowardly
manner before the whole civilized world
and treated as though they were on the
same level with rebellious hordes of BAN
dts who do not deserve an honorable men'
ton.
THE military measures Madame, adopt
ed in the Cuban war with the full knowl-
edge and consent of one of your Majestys
governments, a government of Spain are
criticised as infamous and unworthy of a
civilized people. The orders of the Spanish
general who commanded that army are
finally qualified. Madame, as brutal ana
calculated to fill the civilized world win
horror.
eff such insults were given only to the
soldier who has the honor to address your
majesty, he would not complain of the
weakness of the government in permitting
them to go unrebuked. He would, in fact
be extremely gratified to have called forth
such an opinion concerning himself from
a people whom he considers to be the open
enemies of Spain. But when these insults
are also directed at the entire Spanish
army when the opprobrious words are dl-
rected against the honor of the invincl0le'

Pearl City Mill.

Now it appears that Pearl City will
have sugar plantation. Although the
project is just now in its infancy, the
men at the bottom of it are confident
that their plan will work.
The land at Pearl City is owned by
quite a number of people who have
parcels here and there. Some of the
main owners have conceived the idea
of throwing all this land together and
planting cane on the cooperate plan.
When the matter was first suggested,
it was thought best to carry the cane
to Eva or Oahu and there have it
ground. but this was believed to be
unpracticable on a large scale. 1t is
really being done in small way. The
plan now is to erect a mill at Pearl
City and to have there a regular plan

A Good Day at Los Angeles.
 LOS ANGELES, March 13.-Notwith- standing the fact that there was a high wind and lots of dust, very good crowd of people ventured out to Agricultural Park to see the ties and finals of yester- days coursing run off. The rough weather did not seem to affect the sport at all. as there were some very good races, several dogs scoring an exception ally large number of points
 As a special feature Fritz Lacy rode, paced by a tandem ridden by Palmer and MuZzy, a quarter-mile dash. The time made was 2624 seconds.
 The race between two fox terriers Fritz and Swipes, was very amusing. The little fellows ran splendidly and made the entire circuit of the field without turning a hair, SWfpes winning amid the cheers and laughter of the crowd, who took very kindly to the sport.

Union Coursing Park Pre- scented a Lively
 Scene.
Money Was Freely Played and Short -EnderS Were
 Happy.
Fleet-Footed Susie Met With an Ac- cident and Was Not Inside
 the Purse.

The betting ring and grand stand at the Union Coursing Park was packed al- most to the limit yesterday with an en- thusiastic audience. It was estimated that more money went into the pool boxes during the day than ever before since the opening of the park. The wealth CT was the only drawback, as the hares and hounds were in good condition with but few exceptions and many short end players caught some easy money in at least three instances.
 Some of the best courses were between Sportsman and Bonita, Mercy May and Chartist and Lissak and Rosette in the fourth ties. Bonita won the course with the betting as good as two to one as did Chartist. It was when the fleet footed Susie went down before Terrona that the talent received a blow which was hard to recover from. During the first ties Susie broke her tail by turning near the fence. As she came around with a great deal of speed the accident happened, and 1t is probably due to loss of blood that she made such a poor showing with Terrona, although it is admitted that Terrona is full of vim. As has happened on many previous occasions Curtis & Sons won the purse, which was divided between Cav alier and Rosette. On Saturday and Sun day an open all-age stake, $2 50 entrance, $500 added, and a puppy stake, $2 50 en- trance, s1O0 added will be run off. The drawing will be held on Wednesday even ing at 909 Market street.
