thee reports those from the forts around Havana, can be made In a day, but others, from the outlying districts, will take some time to reach here. General Weyler ha aJrrady detailed a staff of young officer and noncommissioned ollieers. wbo will act as headquarters clerks for the lime being and assist in compiling the return. This action on the part of General Weyler Is supplementary to the regular report and return which were handed over to him by General Marin after the new captain general had been sworn In. While It Is no reflection cn General Marin or the other Spanish commanders here or In other parts of Cuba, the Captain General took this step In order to thoroughly go over the ground hlm?clf and possibly in view of the sensational reports which have l?en circulated by agents of the Insurgents and others to the effect that large quantities of stcr3, arms and ammunition are missing from the different depots and have found their way. Into the hands of the Insurgents. Of course, in a campaign like this, when war material la being constantly hurried by all possible means from one part of the Island to the other, mistakes will occur and there 13 no doubt that the Insurgents have obtained possession of a quantity of Mauser rifles and a certain amount of ammunition. Put between this and the tales cf wholesale dishonesty circulated here and elsewhere there Is quite a difference, and nobody here believes that there has been any treachery of importance. General Marin, who has been appointed captain general of Porto Rico, is expected to leave for his new pest to-morrow. He has net done much rlnce he assumed command here after the recall of Marshal Martinez De Campos, but he has certainly displayed activity and has been on the move almost continually. WHYLKIfS PLAN OF CAMPAIGN'. The exact plan of campaign of General "Weyler, naturally, is not known, but it is believed that it will be a different one from that of Campos. Ho U likely to call In all the rmall detachments of' troops, which have from the first had such a weakening effect upon Inn Spanish operations, and he will try to drive the insurgents into a position from which they cannot escape without a pitched, battle. This does not mean, that the new-captain general v.ril leave all points unprotected In order to concentrate hia troops here. On the contrary, he will endeavor to pro-Ut property t. the utmost: but, in so doing, he anticipates bolng able to call in several thousand men w.io are don.g srriill garrison duty in places waere, apparently, there is Jt:j necessity for t.i.ir presence now. Gen. Weyler wui alio d everything to muster t.i strong a icrce of cavalry as he can. Con.sidcra.Mt re.nlorcements of this branch of ti; service have already arrived hero, and more ar e;viHj?ted during the week. Kesaniing his political standing. General Weyler will be entirely nonpartisan, wcUo billing to listen to suggestions and advice Tram all parties. In sacrt, his first efforts will be directed to concentrating 1 is forces and restoring public confidence. Iater he will try to engage the insurgent, who are understood to be concentrating their force3 in anticipation of having a much more diillcult task before them than they have had i:p to the present. In fact, seroe reports credit the insurgents with desiring to concentrate all their scattered detachments and column. in-to one body, and so bring the insurrection to a direct issue. If so, there seems to be no. doubt that the Spanish general will not put any obstacle In the way of the insurgent commandern. Uit Spaniards here xrho are well poete.1 on th situation r.iy that there is no truth in the report that the insurgents wll make ny effort to risk a pitched battle. WEYLER'S PROCLAMATION. The following proclamation was issued to the public by Captain General Weyler In assuming his post: "Honored by her Majesty the Queen and her government with the command of this island, under the difficult circumstances now prevailing. I take charge of it with the determination, that It shall never be given up by mis and that I shall keep it in the possession of Spain, willing, as she is, to carry out whatever sacrifice shall be required to uoceed, as she haa been In the past. I rely upon the gallantry and discipline of the army and navy, upon the patriotism, never to be subdued, of the volunteer corps, and more especially upon the support that I should be given by the loyal inhabitants, born here or in Spain. "It Is not necessary to say that I shall be generous with the subdued and to all of those doing any service to the Spanish cause. Hut I will not lack in the decision and energy of my character to punish, with all the rigor that the law enacts, those who In any way shall help the enmy, or shall calumniate the prestige of our r.nme. "Putting aside at present any Idea of politics, my mission Is the honorable one of finishing the war, and I only see In you the loyal Spaniards who are to assist me to defeat the Insurgents. Uut her Majesty's government is aware of what you ore and of what you are worthy, and the statutes of peace that these provinces may obtain. It will grant you, when it is deemed suitable to do so, the reforms that the government may think most proper, with the love of a mother to her children. - "Inhabitants of Cuba, lend mo your cooperation, and in that way you will defend your Interests, which are those of the country. Long live Spanish Cuba." (The following sheet of the cable dispatch from Havana is sent blank, and on a request to Havana for explanation is repeated o. leaving it to be inferred that it has been thrown out by the censor.-Cable Editor.) neral Weyler alsj offers the following "Voi'intrern and Firemen Being again at yir head I see in you the successors of thovfe volunteers and firemen wfto fought with me in the previous war and. with their bravery, energy and patriotism, brought about peace, defended the towns and cities and contributed most powerfully to save Cuba for Spain.

On my part, answering to the greit sacrifice made by the nation and using the efforts of all arms and bodies in the work IntrusteU to each of the organic units, I will not omit anything to place you in the condition for obtaining the victory and the return of peace to this Island, which is what he lone for.

General Weyler Is the subject of Interested BtuJy on all sides is to his character and as to his pians In his own office of captain general. An observer concludes that his countenance reveals- the real military character and shows him to be endowed with a very superior intelligence. He knows the character, of the Cubans well, the knowledge having been gained by 'a former residence among them, and has a clear idea of the necessities of the situation. The new captain general allows It to be announced that he will dedicate all of his energies, before verything else, to the pursuit of the warfare against the insurgents, hoping by this to establish an early peace. He announces himself an adherent of the energetic policy favorM by the Conservatives of both Cuba and Spain. He will not. however, be gulled by party considerations while the rebellion Ksts. He understands that his whole m!sf3on is to make an end of tne war. He deprecates the idea that he has any intention of putting into force cruel practices, such a course being entirely against his sentiments, but he asserts very explicitly that he will be as hard and severe with the enemies of Spanish sovereignty an circumstances require, not only with tnose wilh arms la their hands in the field, but with those in the city working harm among the friends of Spain. He comes to do justice as consists with the position of a royal governor. He announces that he will give a hearing and will attentively listen to all who apprvsch him to give counsel and will thi do what he deems Just and suitable. The captain general gives It to be understood that hot relit. greatly upon the co-operation of the loyal inhabitant. of th Island, and upon the patriotism of the volunteers, upoa whom he relies to dedicate All their talents and energy towards making an end of the rebellion. He expects, alK. valuable assistance from Generals Jliiido and RorJe the. Marquis Ahumada, OenraJs Ochanlo, Arola. Eernal, Meiquizo and the other generals already enraged in fighting on the island. The press. General Weyler further announces, will have, all suitable liberty, the publication being prohibited only of. that which refers to the movements of the troops and of trm whien directly favors the rebels. It is obvious that General v eral WfSler's pre, gnlficenr effect, due ence has produced a ma rot only to his presence, but to his talks una proclanTit.'ons. and it is the central opinion that the spirit of the Spanish vmVithixcrs has beta greatly raised. Until

long after midnight the crowds of people remained in the Plaza de Armes. shouting acclamations -.for Weyler, in whom their hopes are centered cf seeing the rebellion soon put to an end. Carloa Denis, the civil governor of Havana, accompanied by his secretary, the Marques de Palrr.erola. has arrived here, acecmparJed by the squadrons of Castlllejos, Lesma. Victoria. Alrantara and liorbon. The band of CastUla has attacked Santa Maria Rosario, in Havana province, and turned twenty-nJne houses before they were repelled by the garrison. INTERVIEW WITH MARIN. General Marin, kite acting captain general cf Cuba, said to-day: "My campaign has been nothing but a continuation of the -l.ne which had been laid down before I went out. I had some encounters with both Maceo and Gomez, but can throw no more light on them or their whereabouts than what has been already given in the published reports." "What do you think of the insurgents' military organization?" he was asked. "I have not altered my estimation of them." he said. "The insurgents can never be recognized as a military organization, because the first consideration of an organized army is its honor. The insurgents tnlnk It no dishonor to iiy from the er.emy and avoid an encounter. A regular military body would ccns;der it otshonorable to attack a defenceless group oi soldiers, but the Insurgents think nothing of capturing men who are simply acting as carriers. Taey do not hesitate to force defensive. citizens to accompany them, which, of course, results simply in their being used as targets for the Spanish arms." "It is said that the Spanish infantry in the field is being rapidly changed from infantry to cavalry." "No intantry has been changed into cavalry," General Marin responded. "The regular cavalry bodies already here have been mounted as fast as horses could be procured fcr the men. If the Spanish had had more cavalry the Insurgents wculd have adopted other means of warfare. Their policy is to deviate from ail lines of regular civilized warfare. la other words, war. -with them, is mere anarchy. If we had plenty of Spanish cavalry they would have resorted to ambush, surprises and other like tricks. They would have waited for the cavalry to come up and then destroyed them. Whenever we have an encounter there never is any doubt of the Spanish defeating the insurgents, even if the odds are four to one in their favor. Tne insurgents run away. That is their strength. There was an illustration recently iti the encounter we had with them near an Cristobal, where six hundred of cur men were attacked by four thousand or five thousand Insurgents and our men defeated them." "How long Is the revolution likely to last?" "I can hardly say, but I believe the insurgents will be wiped out, inasmuch as a vigorous policy has been initiated. Not a policy of cruelty I don't mean that, but a rigidly military policy." "What is your opinion of the value of the trccha along the railroad line from here to the south coast?" "I never placed much redlance on the trocha as a means cf preventing the insurgent crossing in either direction. I have regarded it only as an observatory of the movements of the Insurgents, valuable chiefly as a strategic line for the rapid concentration of troops at any point on it. Of course, it is useful as an Inconvenience to the passing of Insurgents. Their crossing is always attended with more or less loss." "Do you think' the revolution is losing or gaining strength?" "It is losing. We are conquerinsr little by little. The great defect of insurgents has been ah'wn by their attacks cn our weak place3. That betrays their weakness." ALL CURL VP AND DIE.

Dr. Hlnen Sayn 'o Spanish Soldiers necover from Yellow Fever. SOUTH REND. Ind.. Feb. 10. Dr. L. A. Hlnes, for a short time surgeon in the Cuban army, hns just returned home, and gives an insight Into the real condition of affairs. He Joined Maceo's army early In January, and was captured while in chargo of the field hospital in San Felipe. He says the only way the insurgents can hope to win is by prolonging the struggle until Spain becomes exhausted and sells the island or gives It away. The Spanish army Is composed almost exclusively of boys, unused to hardships. They are ragged, overworked and suffering Intensely from the terrlblo heat and yellow fever. The pre vailing notion that the Cuban armies are full of Americans, he says, ia a mistake. Dr. Hincs did not see or hear of anotherAmerican while he was with the insurgents, ad the climate is such that no American could campaign with the insurgents and live. The Spanish hcvpltal at Havana new has nearly one hundred yellow fever victims, and the season is only begun. None ever get well. Shortly after a victim is attacked he begins to curl up like a withered leaf, and as soon as hlu head and feet touch he dies. The negro leader Maceo is described as a man of wonderful will power, and his army Is composed of negroes, who idolize him. He was in Spain when the war broke out. and chartered a little vessel to take him to Cuba. The Spanish government offered $10,000 in gold for the delivery of Maceo into the hands of one of the men of war off the roast cf Venezuela. The captain of the vessel accepted, but the astuto and fierce negro "caught on," and when off the coast of Cuba ho killed the captain and mate and ran the vessel ashore himself.

BULLET IN HIS BRAIN

A FARMER, WHO SHOT HIMSELF WITH A RIFLE HAS RECOVERED. Lnfnyette Girl and Cravrfordsvllle 31 an Hauled Vp Short at Terre Haute Other State evrs. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW CASTLE. Ind., Feb. lO.-On the evening of Jan. 7 John P. Morris, a farmer living near this place, set fire to his straw stack, climbed to the top of the burning pile and placing the muzzle of his rifle to his right eye, sent a bullet into bk brain. He fell in the burning straw, from which his wife rescued him. With brains oozing from the wound he walked to the house and went to bed, but in two days was sitting up and reading a newspaper. Physicians said he would die as soon as inflammation set in and they estimated that live days would be the limit of his life, but the man Is still alive. The wound has healed and for a time he seemed to have a higher degree of intelligence than before, but for the past few days his mental faculties have been growing weaker. The bullet passed entirely through the upper brain and now rests against the skull over the left ear. The case Is regarded as phenomenal and not one person In ten thousand would have survived. The examining surgeon was a surgeon in the army and he state that such phenomena were frequent after a great battle, but of extreme rarity in everyday life. In early life Morris wag a bright man, but about ten years ago, while taking watermelons from a neighbor's "melon patch" he was roughly handled, beaten over the head and rendered Insensible, since which time he has been weak-minded. IIEASLY'S EFFORT. The Torre Haute Lawyer Talks for the Kellers Defense. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TEHRE HAUTE, Ind., Feb. 10. There wp.s but one argument in the Keller-Shanks murder trial 'to-day. John T. Beasly spoke for the defense. Mr. Beasly reviewed the facts as brought out in evidence, and said they were not at all conclusive of proof of guilt. The quarrels of the two famillej were such as frequently occur among such country people, and Mrs. Keller's alleged threat to "bust" Clara Shanks's head If she again came to her house was merely the talk common to those people, such as they would use toward their own loved children. The conduct of the Kellers in voluntlarily going before the court of inquiry should be evidence 'to any one that they were innocent. Mrs. Rice's testimony about her visit to the Keller house the next mornins and her failure to see any signs of the terrihe combat that must have' occurred, had th-re been a ngnt witn tne b.g country girl, was evidence of their Innocence, as was the l'act that none of the Kellers was scratched or scarred, as they certainly would have been if she had fought for her life in such a struggle as Mr. Iuett described. Tnere were no scratches on Clara Shianks's arms, nor anywhere else except on her face, and those could have been inflicted at the pool. Dan Keller's talk with Dr. McKey after the finding of the body, in which he said he had told hLs wife that he would "see her through with it," meiant the controversy between the two families. The story told by Mrs. IJang. the woman who was confined in the Rockvllle Jail, and who claimed to have over heard an incriminating conversation on tne part of Mrs. Keller, he said, had been nut into the mouth of this demented wom an. Ail the testimony showed that Dan Keller did I1 he could to restore peacerui relations between the families. Mr. Beasly was severe on the witnesses who had testinetl. as well as the doctors, lawyers and otlicers generally who had dared take a hand in nuntlng evidence against tne accused. He said when the evidence for the State was closed the defense said they were wuintr tn uhrU the case without anrumer.t. and thv mfunt It. because It was believed that the jury wouia not return a vtruici of guiltv on the evidence presented by the State. Mr. Puett said be hoped the time would come when women couia sit op Juries in cases where women had been foul v dealt witn. ana Mr. ueasiy pai.i u would le an outrage to drae women into this court room to hear Fuch evidence as presented in this case. The fact that tne court room ha-s been crowded with curious women gave to his remarks a doubtful meaning. COX DEAD, KL'T MYEIIS LIVES. Final Solution of the Famous CoxMyera Irmarnnce Fraud.

3IYSTERI0US MURDER

PltOF. i:GL VI , A DRAWING IXSTRt CTOIl, KILLED IN HIS STl DIO. A Crime That la PaxsllnR 'evr York Police nnd the Olnclnln of a Denf nud Dumb Inntltution. NEW YORK. Feb. 10. What appears to have been a cold-blooded murder was committed to-day in the Institution for the Improved Instruction of Deaf Mutes. The victim was Prof. Max Eglau, sixty-eight years old, an Instructor In drawing. The body was found in the studio of the Professor cn the fourth floor of the institution. There were a number of horrible gashes on the back of the head and near the body was found a bloody iron shovel, with which the murderer evidently struck down his victim. No apparent motive for the crime was discovered. When the Professor's clothes were searched his gold watch and chain were found intact, sixty cents in change, a bunch of keys, a pipe and a match-box were also found in. his pockets. It was said by Superintendent Green, of the institution, that he did not know that the Professor had an enemy in the building and for that matter in the world. He said that he was a man who kept well to himself, and after his business had been transacted at the institution he left and had but few words with anybody. He said that tho Professor had been with the institution for a number of years and that his methods and work were satisfactory. If the murder was not committed by a person who had free access to the Institution tho attaches are puzzled to know how any person could gain an entrance to the place without being teen. There are but two entrances to tho place and they are in front of the building. The upstairs doors are kept locked, and at the basement door, which is the usual way the building is entered, there is always an attendant and it would have been Impossible for a person to have gained an entrance in that way without having been seen. No one in the building was found who had seen any strange person enter during the afternoon. All the windows of the institution were examined and none was found that would indicate the murderer had gained entrance in that manner. The entire absence of motive is puzzling the police and so far as known they have not a single clew on which to. begin work. . Sentenced for Life. JACKSON; Mich., Feb. 10. Jerry Scott, the negro whose daughter died from the effects of floggings administered by her father, was arraigned for trial this morning and pleaded not guilty.

(Continued from First Pnice.) lice authorities, a correspondence between Walling and Grant Robinson, of this city. was developed. In attempting to account for his whereabouts about tho time of tho murder of pearl Rryan, YV ailing stated that he had written a letter to Robinson and was stopping at a hotel In Cincinnati. A reporter called on Robinson this morning and was shown the letter, which Is dated Jnn. 29 (Wednesday) from the Dennl&on Hotel In Cincinnati. It reads: "What do you think of tho letter .she wrote me? She was awful slow taking the hint. Don't you think my roommate got a letter from her yesterday. She gays the little dentist Is dead stuck. How sad I received a letter from Letha to-day. She Is all right. She says she Is having her fun this winter m spite or the old lady. I wish we were out there. We surely would help her out in it. I will be out of college the first week of April and then I am out for a time for awhile, and if you can get oft we wont do a thing so to Greenfield. I had a Jag on last night and a chance for another to-night. Guess I had better take tho chance while I have got it. Well I must close for this time, but will write more next -time. Your old chum, "A. M. WALLING." Robinson became acquainted with Wall ing at Greenfield and chummed with him for about a year. The girl referred to in the first part of the letter Robinson says is May Smith, on whom Jackson accuses u ailing of having performed a criminal operation some time ago. The "itha" re ferred to is said to be an old sweet! eart of Walling at Greenfield. Walling w. s an apprentice In Dr. Spark's dental office at Greenfield. The letter was mallei at the Cincinnati postofidce at 3 o'clock, Thursday morning, Jan. ao. The correspondence car rled on between Walling and Robinson was of a very obscene character, much of it being unfit for publication. STANDARDS OF PnOPIUETY. Point In "Which the Training of the You ne In Defective. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The worse than shocking murder of Pearl Rryan, of Greencastle, produces very serious thoughts, and they ought to be very plainly and bravely spoken. Society is not entirely guiltless of that murder. Our society is not an organization with constitution, by-laws and officers, else It would be better than it Is; but it Is a slow growth, and not yet grown. Our western Indiana was settled by people from the older States and foreign countries, whose Ideas and notions of propriety differed widely among themselves. What one family would do without giving the matter even a thought, another and neighbor family would consider a scandal. It is so still. Parents cannot stand guard over their daughters all the time and tfiose daughters most guarded are easiest captured when the guard is withdrawn. They must be taught to guard themselves. Since the daj-s of railroads wmen can travel alone as easily and safely as men. Rut when alone they are always liable to be annoyed by the pirates on sorlety, unless they are well. posted about how to detect them and parry their advances. We have yet no well-defined standard of propriety. In the beginning of our society here one family would raise their daughters so secluded that It seemed like keeping them In a harem, while a neighboring family gave their daughters the same free ranse as their sens. The former family considered the daughters of the latter as ' "Tern boys." Some fathers taught their sons that they were licensed to take any liberty with the girls vtfilch they would permit. Other and neighboring fathers taught their sons that they, as well as their sisters, were bound to restrain themselves and voluntarily act

the gentleman with the ladies. Many were the quarrel, fight and sometimes lawpuits growing out of these different notions cf propriety. It was "hard fcr Jurors to acree on a verdict ia a salt for slander. A citizen of Putnam cour.tr. raised in Ke.i:uvky.

killed his neighbor, because raid neighbor's lamny haJ said scmcthirg anout nis iamuy. whicli he felt in honor baur.d to resent and punish. He veaued his case to Park? county, where he was tried and han?d In If 41. It appeared probable, from th trial, that If the insinuations had been rraJe aaint the family of the murdered man, abut all that would have beeu done would have been to deny them. ?ame mothers mav be on conriuennally intimate terms with their daughters, but few fathers are cn such terms witn tneir sons. The boys, as a rule, do not learn their social propriety from their fathers and guardians, but from the next older boys. lnesv?, proud of their superiority in rakishne.ss. initiate the jour.ger boys into the mys teries, pleasures and excesses of the faloons and brothels. Then they get together in squads and relate tlieir adventure with Oriental exaggerations. The boy who shows ignorance in such company Isn t m it: he has no standing among his associates: he is laugned at. Hence the younger ncys pre tend an experience they have not, but eek the nr.jt opportunity to have. owaere is this tendency to act one character before the public, and just the opposite before their "set," more prevalent than among college boys. Thus they mold and educate husbands for their sisters. When taese boys. with experience eaough to get into troub.e, but not enough to get out of it unaided. are overtaken, they are rebuked, scolded and punished by sedate men. who have sewn and reaped their own wild oats and the boys all know it. Tne three icapegraces are worse tnan their . uncaught associates, bo far as they have as yet developed, in the brutal murder of their victim as the easiest way to get rid of her and the trouble 6he might make them. Now. the next worst scourge on society are the criminal-defending lawyers. These have their recognized, respectable place in society. There seems to be r.o help to so ciety as against them. It should be the mission of a criminal defender to see that the accused is not unjustly punished, but the practice is to ee that he Is not purrisned at all except in the payment of a ruinous fee. Jackson and Wallinjr, but for the check ... a Fr ut unon tnem py their attorneys, wouia. n a few davs more, have confessed all they knew about the murder cf Pearl Rryan. Now, if the whole truth is ever reached, it will be at the end of a loner, tedious and ex pensive trial. Why are not the defending lawyers aiders and abetters of the crime in so far as they defeat the means of expo-ring it? These boys should have been allowed to go on with their accusations . and confessions, so long as suh were not obtained from them by torture or misrepresentation. But, after all. society greatly enjoys thoca soncatinnAl tHsli. nrovided only that somebody else will furnish the victims and pay the expense. We greatly, need a radical reform all along tne line. ioc enough and brave enough to lead It. Brookvllle, Ind., Feb. 10. J. T. C. DIED OF APOPLEXY SUDDEN DEATH OP REV. SASFORO IIU.VT, D.
