Wholesale Slaughter.
From the date of those DEGREES until
November, 1885, 100000 people were mur-
dered thus in Cuba. Since November, as
a result of Weyler's sanguinary orders,
the number has been increased to 400, 900.
What monster in history ever did so much
against humanity and civilization? Nero,
Caligula, Tamerlane Torquemada, Alva,
when compared with Weyler. appear mild
and humane. A poltroon besides being
an assassin, he never offered battle to the
Cubans or took the field to fight In his
time Spain sent 200,0 900 soldiers to Cuba.
He kept them inactive guarding the trocha
from Mariel to Majana in Pinar del Rio
province or from Jucaro to Moron in
Puerto Principe. At othei times from his
palace in Havana, following on map the
imaginary positions of his enemies, he or
dered his columns to make combined move
ments that always resulted in defeats.
One instance of the stupidity and COW.
ardice of Weyler occurred on May l, 1895.
He ordered one of his favorite combina.
tions of columns against Maeeo at place
called Cacarajicara in the province Of
Pinar del Rio. The result was that the
forces of the Spanish Colonels lnclan and
Gelabert were shattered by the Cuban
leader, and the havoc made in the Span
ish lines was so great that the Spanish
soldiers, panic-stricken, threw themselves
into the sea to escape the Cuban machete.
Weyler, as in all other cases. accused his
subordinates of not having obeyed his or.
ders exactly.
On Dec. I, 1896, Maceo, after having
crossed Weyler's famous trocha and en-.
tered Havana province, was assassinated
in an ambush near Punta Brava. The rev.
olution lost in him n great patriot and
heroic soldier. But Weyler soon under.
stood that the murder of Maceo was not
the death of Cubas cause. In March,
1896, Gen. Calixto Garcia landed in San.
tiago de Cuba. He soon replaced Maceo
as n dashing fighter and brilliant com
mander. At the same time Gomez In
Santa Clara had won the important battle
of Saratoga and controlled the whole
province. The battle of Juan Criollo in
February, 1897, was another of Gomezs
important victories, and in Santiago de

Longest Fence In the World.

The longest fence in the world is
probably that which has just been fin
ished by the Erie Cattle company
along the Mexican border. 1t is 75
miles i'll length and separates exactly
for its entire distance the two re
publics of North America. The fence
was built to keep the cattle from run,
ming across the border and falling easy
prey to the Mexican COW punchers. AL
though 1t cost great deal of money, it
is estimated that cattle enough will be
saved in one year to more than pay for
1t. 1t is barbed wire fence, with mes
quite and cottonwood poles, and for the
entire length it runs as straight as the
crow flies.

battalonS of Canarias and Treyino were
routed by Maceo at Nal TEMPO, after the
most gallant charge with machetes of the
Cuban cavalry, led by Maceo himself. that
has ever been seen in the Cuban wars, On
Dec q the victory of Eel Desquite cleared
the way for the invaders to the province
OF Matanzas. Martinez Campos then
made desperate effort to check the two
Cuban leaders. Until that moment he had
been recoilng before the invaders with
his columns, hoping that they would stop.
But he saw that each step of the patriots
to the west was a decisive triumph for
their cause. The enthusiasm of the revo-
luton was growing day by day through
out the country. The Cuban ranks were
filled by volunteers from all the cities and
towns by which Gomez and Maceo passed.
Martinez Campos rallied his almost dis
persed men and presented battle at El Co
liseo ON Dec. %.
The action was sharp and decisive. Mar
tinez Campos behaved brayely, leading
one of his wings in charge against Go
mez, but Maceo, falling ON the Spanish,
won the day for Cuba and compelled Mar
tinez Campos to retire. The captain gen.
eral hurriedly entered Havana, making
preparations to defend the city, and he
confessed his defeat to the astonished
Spanish volunteers and residents of the
capital.

patriots routed n Spanish column and en-
tered Pinar del Rio. Gen. Gomez then
withdrew to the east while Maceo proceed
ed to the west. On Jan. II he obtained
another victory at the very gates of Pinar
del Rio city and on Jan. 22 he took the
town of Banes at the western extremity
Of the island, three months after his de-
parture from Baragua in Santiago de
Cuba. On Feb. u Maceo returned to Ha-
yana province. Gen. Weyler publicly de-
clared Pinar del Rio pacified, and the gal
liant Cuban leader returned to that PROV
ince on March 10.
Before this Weyler had already shown
his sanguinary spirit and plans of muir
der. Prisoners of war and innocent per-
sons unjustly charged with aiding the re-
bellion were shot every day ip Havana.
The most summary court martial preceded
the executions as a mere formality. In
other cases the victims were murdered in
cold blood in their dungeons or thrown
alive into the sea during the night at the
entrance to the harbor TO feed the sharks
The horrors of the Council of Blood under
Alva look pale when compared TO the
crimes of Weyler. In the country his
troops had orders to kill every non-com-
batant without regard to age In the
cities he appointed as inspectors of police
the most infamous murderers and thieves
from the Spanish penal colonies in Africa
In a short time more than 100000 persons
emigrated from Cuba panic-stricken.
But Weyler was not satisfied He in
tended to destroy the country and to ex-
terminate the natives. Seeing that the
executions in the forts were too slow a
method and that the destruction wrought
by his columns was not enough to ruin the
island, he conceived one of the most mon
strous crimes ever committed against hu-
manity. On Feb. 1G, 1896, he issued his
two famous DEGREES of concentration. BY
them every human being in the country
districts was compelled to leave his home,
after it had been destroyed by the Span
ish columns, and go to one of the fortified
towns under the vigilance of the Spanish
soldiery. With the homes Of the recon
centrados their cultivated lands were to
be devastated and around the towns

pointed delegate of the party, and his
faithful friend, Benjamin j. Guerra, was
made treasurer. There was not much
money then in the safes of the afterward
famous Junta and their funds were soon
exhausted by an unsuccessful attempt to
start an expedition from the South. But
Marti had obtained the cooperation of
Gen. Maxine Gomez and Gen. Antonio
Maceo, two veterans of the last war. He
knew that the discomfort against Spain
was deep throughout the island. He had
important connections with conspirators
in all the provinces. He gave without hes
itation the orders for the uprising and
went to Santo Domingo to join Gen. Go
mez and take, with him, the field
At that grave and decisive moment the
total funds of the patriots amounted to
not more than $4,000. 1t is wonderful
that with a sum, comparatively speaking,
so paltry for so great a purpose, war
should have been raised which cost Spain
up to February, 1898, besides the sacrifice
of so many of her soldiers, $3.50, ,000, 600
and caused to the United States net loss
In trade and business of $300,000,000.
On May 10, 1895, Marti was killed in
the engagement at Dos Rios, but his work
had already been done. He had landed on
April II with Gen. Gomez at Sabana la
Mar on the southern coast of Cuba, after
issuing at Monte Cristi revolutionary
manifesto, and had had time before his
death TO convoke the representatives of all
the Cuban provinces to a general assem-
bly, to elect provisional government and
frame Il constitution. If this was not
done until later, in September of the same
year. at the town of Jimaguayn, it was
not the less true that from the first days
of the revolution the desire of Marti, as of
all the patriots, was TO organize republic
with popular institutions.
Two months before Marti's death Gen.
Antonio Maceo had landed at Duava, near
Baraeoa, Santiago de Cuba province.
With Il handful of men and a few rifles
and cartridges, n small open boat brought
him to Cubs from jamaica. But his name
and his presence were enough to make
Spain tremble. He and his heroic broth
er, Jose Maceo. were surrounded by SUI
perior Spanish forces on the day of their
landing. They broke through the Span
lsh lines and made their way into the
country. In few days, as soon as the
news spread of their arrival, the province
of Santiago de Cuba rose in arms and
Antonio Maceo had around him more than
10000 Cuban soldiers.

an autonomist system, which has been de-
clared Il mockery by all impartial judges.
The Cubans rejected it, and the new
regime inaugurated in Havana on the first
day of this year by Gen. Banco was as
a complete failure. The patriots declared
the acceptance of autonomy an act of
treachery to their flag They hanged as
spies all the Spanish agents sent to them
to propose such a scheme They rejected
with scorn the offers of money made to
them by Blanco. The death of the Cuban
Gen. Aranguren, near Havana, did not
discourage the patriots in the least. They
kept up the war as enthusiastically as
ever, adopting as their motto "lndepeu
dence OF DEATH"

The primary object of the league, as cx-

be called in the near future.
There was, however, a strong feeling among
the members of the executive committee that
action should be taken at once so as to get
the matter squarely before the voters of the
city.
