.i Captain Ueiicrul that ho has stooped from
Ms viceroy's dignity and his habit of com
mandlng without explanations to a familiar
Tlinmlon of bis plan. nnd ilcods. lien. Wry
j lt ruust.bo.ucKtiuwlt'dgcd by his most bitter
iwinles. Is not u hypocrite. Ho may not havo
a courage of a soldier, but ho has tho moral
courage of not disguising hU brutal cruolty.
Dsfore publlo opinion. In Cuba us woU as in
tnaln and ItUorolgti oountrios, ho uovor cringes,
wist ho said, therefore, at his palaco to a
oird of Spanish politicians, whom he never
Scored before with tho slightest regard for
elr opinion, I believe of Interest to tho Amer
ica reader as a ploluro of Wcylor by himself.
There were rrosont tho Mnrqulsoa of l'lnar
ail Rio, Babell, and Montoro, representing, ro
iieotlvsly. the Conservatives, the Reformists,
idthe Autononilsts-of Havana, the well-known
Rpialsh leader, Honor Santos Guzman, and
moo" others tho minor "bosses" of tho thrcoi
carUes and of tho battalions of voluntcors of
Us city. SetoT Miguol Dlnr, tho Mayor of Ha
Tins, tho Municipal Oounolllor, and soveral
othsr employees of tho municipality woro also
ursieat. Tha Captain-General's words havo
vn widely commontod upon.
"1 ai not afraid." said God, Woylor, "of tho
made against my administration. I do
not try, clihor, to win tho Utlo of a huuiano Gen
rsL War Is war, and I oamo hero to mako war,
relentless, pitiless wur against tho enemies of
Spain. I never understood tho wisdom of gov
imlng with a slack hand a rebel ceoplc. and
m well known was my onlnlon in this matter
that as soon as my coming to Cuba as Captain
General was announced; all tho oovort enemies
of bDuin who llvt.l hero among us emigrated In
Lute to tbe Lulled Btates. Had they had
nothing to tear they would havo stayed, as
others did, amona the loyalists. 1 wu glad then
it knowing it. 1 w glad that they know mo.
"1 know also tuut tho feeling nf hostility
srtlast tipaiu ts deeply rooted In this country.
lhsTO done only my duty In trying to extirpate
It What means nil the outcry against niy
decree ordering the concentration of the paclfl
l cost Only that It was a military incasuro favor
able to Spain. Jt Is not my fault If hundreds
or thousands of people havo to die from tho ef
fects of a military measure. I did not provoke
this war. The revolutionists cast tho die, and
UWy must stand the consequences. To meet
the guerrilla warfare the Cubans wago against
the royal army of Spuin I bad to cut oil all com
i' u cation between the insurgent bands and
" the towns. Such communication allowed tho
insurgent bands to provido supplies for them
.' Kites In the towns to carry on their desultory
i warfare. The paclflcos wero a link between tho
i town conspirator and tho insurgents. I havo
MTered that link. That Is alL. I am not re
t iponsible for the conseuuences of a dire but
t urgent measure iniposod ny tho war.
: "l believe that the magnanimity of Spain Is
- to great and the lnJuBtlco of the revolution eo
utraordtnary that tho Insurgents and their
abettors do not deserve any consideration. For
her loyal subjects Spain has reforms; for tho
, rtbsla, what they like, war."
; That frank exposure of his sanguinary foci
1 nigs by the Captain-General meets with the en
:; thoilasm of the uncompromising Spanish press.
A stanch Conservative journalist writes:
i "Gen. Weyler la compared in tho United
, Elates with the Duke of Alva and that is but an
it acknowledgement of his merits. Tho Duke of
- Alva was a great General. He mode war with
fire and sword in tho Netherlands, but be did
V not lose the Netherlands (or Spain. It was the
I Duke of Parma who lost them alter htm with a
j milder policy."
Both the discourse and the eulogy prove but
v. one thine, and that Is that the experience of his-
" tory Is nothing to the Spaniards, and that they
ire now as blind about their colonial poller as
la the sixteenth century. Here oro some or the
utural results of that policy:
An order of Weyler forbidding tho bankers
b Havana to export gold has caused a financial
? (tnlo In the market. Silver is now at -5 per
M cut. discount.
H In Santa Clara city tho frauds committed at
U the Custom House by the Mpantsb ollicials
smount to more than 9l,noo,003. The director
and cashier of the Custom House there have
made each a net proIU of $100,000 in a few
Bonths and both are now In Spain enjoying the
product of their plunder.
The mortality among the paolflcoa herded
tnund Santa Clara city Is eo great that tho
H common cemeteries have not been enough to
1 bury the dead. They are thrown on tho ground
H ud epidemics of dinease have resulted. Thero
H are no words to describe the ravages of tho
H famine.
I Comlned In the common Jail of Santa Clara

H women of the best Cuban families, arrested by

Ofllclnl figures on the mosquito question art
hard to get ln How Jersey, and somo persons
have recalled this year, when a rainy July and
a cool August have established conditions un
duly favorable to a large number of mosquitoes
ln September In Now York and Its vicinity, the
ancient nnccdoto of the Hod Bank hotel keeper
who, when accused of duplicity ln having de
clared that thero were no mosquitoes In his
hotel. Justified tho presence of one by tho ox- ,
planatlon that a Now York man had brought lt
to lied Hank In his trunk. New Jersoy Is essen
tially tho permanent home address of tnosqul
loon, as Ohio Is tho home of American poli
ticians, and the explanation of Now Jorsoy's
unenviable prominence in this regard Is mods
clear by a table which has recently beou pub
lished In Newark showing the divisions of land
ln that State.
Now York has 40,000 square miles, and tbo
land area of It Is 47,500, the dlff eronce being
represented by tho beautiful lakes and rivers
which, especially ln tho western portion of tho
Empire State, have made New York famous.
New Jersey covers an area of 7,800 square
miles, and has a water surface, so oollod, of
400 square miles, or moro than 5 per cent, of the
whole territory. Thlfi 6 per conU, unlike New

RocnrarER, N. Y 8ept 7. II. F. Leodley,
son of Charles T. Leadlcy of this city, an en
graver, died at Bancroft, Mich., late on Monday
night undor peculiar circumstances. He made
an ante-mortem statement ln which he con
fessed tho murder of Miss Emerson ln this city,
and also stated that he was an escaped em
bezzler. When Leodley arrived in Bancroft he stopped
at one of the leading hotels, and complained of
I 111 health. He was in a serious condition, and
was examined by a physician. Ho told the
physician his name and address, and sold that
he was riding on a wager of )2,000 from Now
York to San Francisco. A wheel which he had
ln his possession bore out his story.
Leadley's actions were so peculiar that the
police watched hltn. He said he was going ln
one direction, and then turned and started ln
another. The Dollce followed him, and saw
htm plunge through the screen door of a bar
room ln an old building. He was placed under
arrest and confessed tno murder and embezzle
ment, and died in a c&rrlago on the way to a
hospital.
Leadley's father says his son was always
quiet and well behaved. Tho police know of no
such murder as that confessed. The tioolts of
the Monroe County lire Co-operative Insurance
Company do not Indicate any such embezzle
ment. It la the opinion ln this city that the
man was mentally deranged.

appointment of a commission representing tho ,
six groat powers to tako control of tho rovenuos
which Qrccco will sotnsldo for tho payment of

It appears that Count MuravlefT, Ilusslan
Minister of Foreign Affairs, urgontly appealed
to Lord Saliabury to tako tbo responsibility for
a continuance of tho present position or to pro
pose a solution that would be acceptable to all
tho powers.
Lord Salisbury then proposed the formation
of an International commission at Athens,
each power to appoint one member. He
I also proposed that Greece should make a
law placing ln complete control of the
commission sufficient revenues Jot tha pay
ment of tho Interest on the indemnity and other
national debts, the Turkish forces to evacuate
Thessaly one month after the law was enacted.
The ambassadors, instructed by their Govern
ments, adopted the proposals with slight amend
ments. They then showed thorn unofficially to
Tewflk Pasha, the Turkish foreign Minister,
who was favorably Impressed. The proposals
will be formally presented to Tewflk Pasha on

Aibant. Sept. 7. St. Mary's Island In tho St.
Lawrence River is the first land to bo purchased
by the State for the etUbllihmcnt of the Inter
national park on tho St Lawroneo IUvor. Tho
last Legislature authorized tho State Flshcrios,
Game, and Forest Commission to spend $30,000
ln purchasing land to form tbo nucleus of tho
park which Is to bo maintained by this Stato
ln conjunction with the Dominion of Cunada,
and Is to extend along the Su Lawrcnco Itlver
from Messina Springs to Clayton on this side,
and an equal dlstnnco on the Canadian Bide.
Many points along the rl or havo hvon offered
to tho commission, but they were held nt such i
high prices thai the comml'slon despaired of
ever bolng ablo to acquire lands to the ndvantugo
of the State.
At u meeting of the commission to-day It was
decided that the offer ot tlio Westminster Park
Association to part with .St. Mary's Island for
(3,000 was a reasonable onu and its ncrvptaiue
was authorized. Tho Island Is ono nf tho most
ptcturesquoof tho river group; nnd is u mllo
and a half from Aloiamlriu liny and cIohu to
the Canadian shore. President llariiot II. I) ivis
of tho commission says that other lands will be
purchased as soon as owner, of lands along tho
river front realize that the Stato will not pay
the exorbitant prlcos utw asked.

It is a well-known saying In tho South that
you can't kill a nigger unless you hit him on tbo
shin. If that be true, a negro up on New itlver
seems to have bad his shins well protected yes
terday. Atanyruto.hu underwent enough to
kill a whlto man, and certainly not very many
nogroos could bavo stood what be did and ei
capod alive.
The fellow was drinking a good deal, and
went into a saloon at Thurmond, where ho grew
quarrelsome, and before long he bad gotten
into a general row. Before tbo fight had ended
some ono hid given tho negro a severe beating
over the head with a beer bottle, cutting bis
scalp badly In soveral places. The blows wero
enough to bavo crushed an ordinary skull, but
tho fellow, staggering only irom the effects of
the liquor he had drunk, started nway from tho
saloon and across tbe bridge. Perhaps becaiieo
bo was blinded with the blood whkh flowed
from his head, poibnps been use of his unsteady
gull, bo had hardlygolten midway nn tho brldcn t

To tub EniToit ov Tub Sun Sir t Forty
four regulations that are mount to govern tho
annual meetings of tho X. J, 9. 11. A. seem nn
array of forethought that Implies n commenda
ble spirit ou tbo part of thoso vested with exec
utive authority over all contests ut Sea Girt.
Among these forty-four regulations, bow-
' ever, nunc are announced, and now bore
I In tho otllclal programme la found any
rule specifically intended lo control revol-
' vcr shooting. We tborcforo depend qulto
naturally on those of tbo forty-four thnt seem
1 pronorly applicable thereto, and for Individu
als Interested thu Nos. -?, -H, and Ul, aro sug-
gei-ti'd, and also Nu. Sou piolruts.
F.iinllliiri7.o tbesu us one may and tho fact
still remains indubiiablo that no competitor has
a right to leavo oil shooting hit Rtrlng and
after forty-eight hours, moro or less, resumo tho
sumo and win.
Those of us who gathered ourselves together
at the revolver ranges lust r-uturday there saw
three good shooters thke their place, taih in his
proper order, nnd presently wo witnessed 135,
135, 131 mado respectively by them In competi
tion lor the miillury revolver championship.
Tho 135 tie was then duly disposed of under tho
ruling and In the luunner iires- rILod in Small
Arms Firing ltegulntluiis as enforced in tho
United Htiitei Army, and those of us who had
certain personal preferences wero m..de to re
joice that an estimable gentleman, and ono who
is u thoroughly sportsmanlike ciackuhot, had
won nicely in a closo contest.
Then, however, there did hnppcn a most
curious thing. Tho ruvolv or range olllccr of tbe
day took up tils position and commenced tiring.
' What match is ho on I" said one.
"Look at tho score hoard I" exclaimed an
other derisively, and when wo looked, lol
then-oil, duno largely In tho common i h .Ik, bis
i mio, and therewith tho now (imlllar 1-geiid:
Champion Military Uevolvcr Mnt h. Accom
panying all this wus a lo.ig line, also a short
one, both running in u staggering horizontal
toward the totals.
' What kind of score's that I" said one.
"t)io It up I" cried another.
Thereafter ft tr.insp.red that the said range
oltlcei (for reasons not votn hsafed when I. bear
ing re.-ul.itlon 3 in inln.!, iiiuncdi.iU ly kicked")
h id discontinued his siring in this match a day
or two previous, and on Saturday, after un in
terim ot hours upon hours, during whiihhe
prui Ihed mi pool targets, lesumed tu& .-huotltig.
I was informed aulbnrit-ttivi'iy '.bat Im uld so
by exprcs l'criiiicdon from ihoexetiitive of

than were ho but acting on his own hunk, be

'Hie Interrupted st ring, ln its patched up con
dition, aggregated 1 13, which to-day's papers
announce us thu winning scoro.
Spunking fr.uiklj (bluntly, if you like), in the

When seen at his ofllce In this city yesterday
Marcus Daly said, when asked If tho story ot
bis retirement from tho turf ln tbo Kost was ac
curate: " Yes. I have decided to give up racing hero
for several reasons. First, because I hnvo no
horses good enough to win high-class races.
; Also, because I um unable to give to my stablo
thu persona! attention I would like. For sev
eral years I had planned to spend tho racing
season In tbo East, but always was unable
" llaclng la an expensive luxury, and 1 do not
enjoy reading about the running of my horses.
It would bo tho greatest pleusuro of my life to
seo I hem work and race. I shall keep a small
btuble to race on tbe Montana circuit. That is
an enjoyahlo and inexpensive sport. All of my
horses will leave for Montana on the 10th Inst.
Matt Byrnes, who has trained ror mo from my
first association with tho sport, will go along

i Several nf tho horses 1 shall sell at San Fran-

I " I shall keep up my breeding farm at Bitter
