Weyler Issues a Savage Order.

A Havana special to the New York World says that General Weyler has issued an order directing that hereafter all women arrested in Cuba who are called “suspicious” shall be tried by court-martial. While the penalty is not publicly stated, it is supposed that that if the women are found guilty the death penalty will be imposed. The issuing of this order has been protested against by some foreign consuls.
