At u meeting held in Chiekering hall,
New York City, to commemorate the
massacre of students in Havana in LS71
hy Spanish soldiers the sentiment in
favor of Cuba's freedom was even more
pronounced than it has ever been be
fore. IJourke Cock ran, in one of the
most eloquent speeches he ever made,
said it was time that the United States
intervened for humanity's sake, and
that Cuba could be freed without; firing
a shot if the word was said, lie de-
1 tlws Kivinish rule of Cuba as
barbarous and inhuman, and predicted
that if this country did not take a hand
in bringiug about peace in Cuba the
judgment of God would be visited upon
us. He then said: "Never in the his
tory of our country did so much de
pend upon the chief executive. Our
President may pronounce for Cuba the
word of doom or liberation. If he
says that Cuba shall bo free the light
of liberty will bathe its shores and re
publicanism will be triumphant."
Chas, A. Dana, editor of the New
York Sun, said: "If the government of
the United States says that this butch
ery must stop, it will stop, and stop
very promptly. The sun of liberty
will rise upon Cuba to set no more."
Col. Ethan Allen, a descendant of the
revolutionary hero of Ticonderoga,
said: "I cannot approach this subject
without the greatest indignation.
I regard Spain as a black beast of na
tions. If 1 had my way I would stran
gle her and bury her in the At'antie."
Col. Jose Reves, aide decamp or lien.
Macco, wounded and visiting New-
York for medical treatment, and with
dispatches to the junta, was present at
the meeting. He says the lighting in
the Rubi hills of Pinar del Rio was the
most sanguinary battle of tho war.
He claims that 2,000 of Wcyler's men
were killed in two days, and twice as
many wounded. Maeeo's nwn shot
froui behind rocks and trees and grad
ually gave way before the Spaniards,
who, encouraged by what they thougut
to be a victory, pursued them, but
they charged into a dynamite mine
which was tired by electricity. A tre
mendous explosion occurred and Wey
ler lost 700 men killed besides 500 more
in the fight, and 1.60!) wounded.
Next day Macco. knowing of the re
serve force under Weylcr, retreated to
even a stronger position. There he
was attacked by the column under
Echac-ue. who was roundly thrashed
and driven from the field, losing 800
men killed, besides 1,200 wounded.
Then Wcvler returned to Havana and
the Spanish troops withdrew to a re
spectable distance.
An Interview nith tien. wejier.
While Gen. Wcvler was in Havana,
after his trip to the front iu Pinar del
Rio, he gave an interview in which he
expressed great satisfaction with the
condition of affairs. He said that he
had passed all over the territory the
rebels claimed as their stronghold in
the Rubi hills and he met very little
resistance. Macco ha i fled at the ap
proach of the Spanish troops, and the
insurgents had scattered in all direc
tions, not crivinir a chance to have a
battle. Wcyler said that he was con
fident of soon pacifying the province
of Pinar del Rio and that the rebellion
in the provinces of Havana, Matanzas,
Puerto Principe and Santa Clara was
scarcely worth mentioning. 1 he Span
ish general continued in this strain to
a great length, belittling the Cubans
and their lighting.
The statements made by Gen. Wcyler
were indignantly denounced by the
meml)cr8of the Cuban junta in New
York. Enrique Jose Vcroua, editor of
Patria, the junta's organ, pointed to
numerous reports from other sources
to show the strength nnd extent o. the
thronyhout the island. U
then said: "The scattering of forces by
Maeeo is due to a preconcerted plan.
The forces are scattered and concen
trated at will by Macco. and he thereby
makes sure of losing as few men as pos
sible nnd of striking blows when he is
least expected by Gen. Weylcr to do so.
Macco cannot afford to lose as many
men ns Weylcr can, for Spain sends
men like droves of sheep to the slaugh
ter. The tactics of which Gen. Wcy
ler complains ore evidences of Maeeo'
superiority as a military tactician over
Wcyler."
President Pal ma. of the junta, says
Wcyler is a liar when lie says that all
thefctnitcgie points in Pinar del Rio
are in Spanish hands, and that there
was not a slaughter of Spaniards at
Rubi hill-..
AVejIer Ketrrnn Into I'lnar di 1 Itto.
Capt. -Gen. Wcyler has departed from
Havana as suddenly and unexpectedly
us he returned a few days before. Ho
has again gone into Pinur del Rio, evi
dently to take active command of his
troops there. Gen. Wcyler and part of
his staff were driven in carriages to the
pier, where twey itoaruco mo je-m.i
Mercedes and were transferred to the
Legazpi. which immediately steamed
for Marie 1. Thence by carriage the
party went to Arlemisa. and to Cristo

bers of the staff went to Artomisa by

DiAT.H IN THZ BLIZZARD.
NortliweBtern Mate in the Kwrep of th
Mont Torrllde Ktoriu In Yearn.
The tirst storm of the winter has
swept over the northwestern states and
was probably the worst in years. The
bli.zard started in Uritish Columbia
1 nnd b'evv down through Montana,
i Idaho, the Dakotas, Minnesota, and
touched up Kansas, Nebraska and
western Missouri. The snow w as piled
10 feet deep in the streets of Fargo and
other places. Trains were snowbound
ttnd three Northern Pacific trains be
came stuck in the North Dakota drifts.
Live stock suffered very heavily, par
ticularly in Kansas and Nebraska.
As the blizzard contiuued for several
days the reports of the effects of tho
cold, and wind and snow became more
terrible, particularly in North Dakota
Human beings have been frozen to
death, cattle have been stampeded and
buried ami smothered in snow drifts,
trains blockaded, and wires blown
down. The drifts in Dakota are small
mountains and a coal famine is threat
ened. How many human lives have
been sacrificed cannot be told until the
snow drifts clear away, months hence.
Men are missing everywhere in the
heart of the storm. The dead and
known missing are: Thomas Anderson,
18 years old. lost in the snow near
Moorhrad. Minn. F. M. IJurrows,
mail agent, lost in the storm at Devil's
Lake, N. D. Frank Vack, of Chicago,
frozen to death near largo, N. D
Two unidentified men found frozen to
death near Fargo. Three missing men
lost in the snow near Fargo. From
the cattle country in the western part
comes reports of intense suffering of
the live stock on the ranges, un
doubtcdly this was the worse blizzard

Hawaii Looking for Annexation.
The. Hawaiian representatives nt
Washington are ouietly at work per
fee ting their plans to secure recogni
lion by Uncle Sam. The plan mapped
out by Minister Hatch and Henry E.
Cooper, Hawaiian minister or foreign
affairs, is to work up all possible senti
mcnt in favor of annexation among
members of congress at this session
and further to endeavor to influence
friends of the incoming administration
in favor of annexation pure and simple.
It will be pointed out by the Hawaiian
representatives that it will be danger
ous to permit delay. The encroach
ment of Japan, China and other for-
oimi nniviiK tint krtrMe wli :l t. frightened
the Hawaiian government.
An I nun no Finn's Awful Deed.
On Oct. 30 Henry Powers, a farmer
near Marion, O., escaped from the in
sane asylum at Columbus. The asylum
authorities were notified but they said
allow Powers his lilerty and await to
developments. This was found to have
lcen a serious error, as while the
family were at breakfast, Powers went
to the barn, securing an old musket,
and placing the barrel close tohis wife's
head, blew the top of her head off,
Three ol the children escaped to a
neighbor's house. Powers reloaded
the musket, went to a potato patch 300
yards away and shot himself.
