WEYLER MAY RESIGN

TEK CAPTAIN GENERAL HAS MANY TBOCK.ES OF HIS OWN.

Among: Others He Fears tbe Attitude of Congress—His "Prudence"—Progress of the War in Cuba.

Madrid, March 18.—In an interview wlitli General Weyler, published here, the captain general is quoted as expressing great surprise at the charges made against him in the United States, ".in "view of his greait prudence pending the settlement of the question of 'belligerency."

General Weyler is al-so credited with having said tha*t the attitude of congress stops the aiormal "development of the war. Continuing frhe interview places General "Weyler on record as saying that numbers of persons are joining t/he •insurgents from all parts of Cuba, and even from the capital, Havana, because they will be recognized as beli.g•wents.

The Spanish soldiers, the captain general is said ,to have added, are fighting heroically and it is impossible to ask Xhem to do mare.

In conclusion General Weyler is sa to have related that he is confident of the eventual success of the Spanish ^ause but, the "contradictory demands prudence an'd extreme measures, combined with the difficulties aris.ng from the question of belligerency and the elections," may compel him to resign.

ESPOUSES THE CUBAN CAUSE.

A Titled Young Spaniard Who Has Arrived in TliiB Country. Senor Don Jose Miguel de Michelena

Canovas del Castillo is the name of a flower of Spanish chivalry who has espoused the Cuban cause and 'has just reached this country incog. The young iman is a nephew of the present president of the cabinet of 'Spain, Antonio Canovas del Castillo, says the New York Journal.

It has .been frequently aserted by Spaniards and the friends of Spain Chat the insular party in Cuba was composed of negroes

and

iian

bandits, who were

simply waging guerrilla warfare iupon the organiz-e'd forces of the home government. Therefore, the comiiTg of the young Spanish aristocrat is hailed with great joy by all the Cubans. Senor Don Jose Miguel de Michelena is of patrician blood and Is known all over Spain as of undoubted bravery. The young man comes 'direct from Madrid. He is to be Marquis de Casa Michelena upon his father's death, and his fortune is no email one. After his graduation he served as an artillery captain in the •Austrian army. It is the intention of /he Cubans to give the iSp'aniard, who

ias thus manifested his willingness to oin their forces, a command in the Ouartillery.

It is noteworthy that, the Colonel Michelena, who commands the regiment Ide Maria Cristina, now in Cuba, is an uncle of Don Jose Miguel de Michelena, •Eenor Pablo de 'Michelena, who was governor of Havana, is also an uncle of the young man. The act of the young iDuban sympathizer in opening espousing that cause has created a profound impression in 'Spain. He is engaged to be married to the Countess of Alma Zichy, consequently society in Madrid (has had much to sas' of the matter.

The young man first made it known •that he favored the Cuban cause«.last November. The other members of the family made it so warm' .for him in ©pain that he left there, although he (had great difficulty in getting out of the country.

NOT QUICK ENOUGH.

Joe Wysong Took 8114 From Martha Hall Jtat Was Caught. There was much excitement early yesterday morning when Joe Wysong attempted to run away with $114 belonging to iMartha Hall, keeper of a resort at Second and Eagle streets. The good lungs and pluck of his victim prevented him from accomplishing his purpose, and the attempt will result in the city getting rid of Wysong, who, for the past two years, has been a source of much annoyance to the police.

Wysong and the Hall woman were husband and wife until about two years ago, when they had trouble and the wife procured a divorce. Wysong left the city and was gone almost a year. H'e returned to Terre Haute and called at his wife's house. The old trouble was patched up and the woman decided to take her husband back. They waived the usual preliminary and expense of getting married again and the prodigal husband was reinstated as head of the household by common consent. Joe was only required to carry in the coal, throw out the loafers and do 'the heavy sitting around for the establishment and in consideration of his services was to have a home, three meals a day and all the drinks he could catch onthe side.

They got' along swimmingly until some months ago when Wysong was too successful in catching drinks. He would go home drunk and make things entirely 'too sultry for the inmates and guests. The Hall woman refused to longer suppQV him with money and to satisfy his appetite he pawned abciut all his clothing, his watch and jewelry. The woman refused to redeem the articles and the two-have been engaged in a sort of Kilkarney cat fight for the past two weeks.

Wysong decided 'to leave and before starting decided to take what money his mistress had dying about the house. He arose about 3 o'clock yesterday •mornling and while the occupants of the house were asleep, packed his gripWhen ready' to start he took $114 the 'woman had hid under the stand in her room. As Wysong went out of the house the slam of the 'door awoke the Hall woman and quicker than a flash the fact dawned on her she had been ro'bbed. She leaped out of. bed and ran to the door jusft in time to see Wysong disappearing around the corner at Second and Eagle. Without stopping to dress she started in pursuit yelling "murder" and "police." The -tfclief seeing he had been discovered and that escape with the money was out of the question relturned and gave it back to the woman. After getting her money the resort keeper gave the thief a tongue lashing for hia ingratitude and: then told him to go.

The eomirrciti'on and, the wiomain's screams aJwotke albout all the sleeper's in •the .nergh'bcrhiood and by the '.'i'me WySOT.'g made Wis second start out into 'the cold 'world the street was throm'ged wilth rrren and women. Patrolman Mullen ©aid the scene resembled a grave yard on a dark night. Te resort keeper says shie will cause a wairirain't to be issued for Wysong's arrest, charging him with larceny and '2f 'he oom'es ba'ck tO' the citj* •she .will prosecute him. She is a'fraiid th'ait iif she does not take thiis precautilom he will reiurn and perhaps kill her, as he i's a dangerous and desperate man, especialy when under ithe influen'oe of liquor.

CLEVELAND AS A SPORTSMAN.

Criticisms of the Way He Has Ducks Lined Up For Him. President Cleveland has 'been called a "dead galme sport" din contradilstinctio.n to the man who hunts for ithe pleasure of seeing nature and the living gatme. The American Field itold recently haw the ducks are lured wilt'hin range of Ithe president's 10-gauge gun. When Mr. Cleveland wants to kv:il ducks for a day or two he goes down the Potomac to Wide Water, and finds his blind all ready for him. The chances are that, as he goes from -the boat ito Mr. Waaler's house, where he «ftays, he will see a flock oif ducks feedi'nig near hits shcctilnlg stand, and the form of the duck on the water is a most inviting one for a hungry or pot hunting man, ais 'the ducks extend in a etnat'gh.t line twenty-five yards from the blind. The bait whaoh attracts the ducks is put out in a narrow line looking straight away from the blind, because, as 'the Field's writer says: "If the bait is scattered the ducks will feed promiscuously, but i'f it is in a row they will feed In a line, dive down, come up scattered, then swiim together and ge'i. in lime preparatory to diving1 again. Now is the time 'to shoot if one wants to ma.ke a big swimming shot. The b?ggest shot for years on the Potomac was m'ade by Mr. Waller and a •flrienid, who. after one discharge, picked up twe.n'ty-is'svttn duties atnd only one oripple." Seme of these ported dWclcs went to now ex-President Harrison am'd some to a ducki'ng senator.

Mr. Waller is described as a ge-nius. for he has taught the non-diving mul?ard 'So dive for the bafit six feet under water. Most diving ducks slfde under wa' ©r ais ilf greased, but the mallard jumps two feet out of the water and then gees down wi'tSi a splash, throwing the water high in the air, and if any other ducks are thereabouts they have •to leave or get drowned by the flying waiter. "I canmott guve away the method by which Mr. Waller taught them to dive." the writer says, "but most likely lit was by a submerged platform covjered with to'?:, so that when the mallards oame they were just aible to reach ie by considerable stretching of necks., After awhile they found that the wheat asnd com were still deeper and they struggled hard .o get it, aind succeed? ed, being hungry. It was deeper yet next day, and so on, until now they go tfeur to the .-natural bottom for theta fciod." Att night, when erne goes wSthta 500 yards of '.he blimd, he thinks he hears am old Mississippi' steamboat, but its only the mallards diving.

Sportsmen are beginnitng to ttenk thait (Mr. Cle\*ela,nd is not a real sportsman, especOallv after r^adinig of pot shots made from his bl:.nd a't ducks limed up a row on purpose thait they may be shot Into with deadly effect. Judged from the English standard, Mr. Cl^~e-laud" 1B A sportsman, for Englishmen cfltejr 100 duoks with a one-toore puirt gun, moun't?d like a swivel in 2he bow of a boat, loaded with two pounds of shot.

HE'S AYS MANY RODSH THINGS ABOUT THE PRESIDENT.

The Resolntion to Reqaire Sonttary Smith to Open Utah Indian Lands Causes Some Severe Senate Criticism*.

indisposition of Mr. Mills of Texas, who had the floor on the subject, the Cuban debate was not continued today in the senate. The first business considered was Mr. Cannon's resolution directing Secretary Smith to execute the law for the public opening of the Uncompaghre Indian reservation, Utah. Mr. Cannon said 2,000,000 acres were involved, and he wished this mandatory resolution to overcome the delays of the secretary of the interior.

He sharply criticized the secretary of the interior for failing to execute the law- The secretary's course was such, .he said, as ultimately to put the lands in the hands of a monopoly instead of opening them to the whole public.

Mr. Vest follotved in criticism of the secretary's course. There was a time, said he, "when a cabinet officer who violated a law would be brought before the bar of the senate." This reservation, said the senator, contained the greatest asphalt deposits in existence—sufficient to supply this country for centuries. A bill.was passed directing the opening of the .lands, but the secretary of the interior nullified it. It was nullified on the excuse that congress did not.know what it was about. The secretary's course was in behalf of rich investors, who were the only ones who could -bid_ on a public auction of the lands.-

r-*i

(Mr. Vest said he had protested personally to Secretary Smith and told him the entire senate would oppose his plan and that no western man would propose it to congress. Thereupon, Secretary Smith answered that he would get a friend from Georgia to do it. "I am sorry to say i!t,' said 'Mr. Vest, "but there seems to. be a disposition on the part of the present administration to treat the western people as if they were in a. condition of pupilage, that they did "not know their own rights and their own interests and they must be Informed ex cathedra from the east •in regard to what is best for them, and what should be done for them.Even the president of the United States lately in a missionary occasion (laughter) spoke of the west .as a land of immorality and crime. He stood with 'the ghastly light of the hell holes of the rum sellers of New York blazing upon him, and cantingly said, home missions must be used to civilize and christianize the men who have-left their homes in the civilized east -and gone amongst •the mountains and valleys of that wild and wooly west.'' (Laughter.) "We are told," continued the senator, "by high ecclesiastical authority that his excellency has lately laid down his honors at the feet of Je'sus. I am glad to know it. It has been the general impression of the Democratic parity that the mugwumps and incense burners •have got all those honors and intend to keep them. "I have great respect for the Christian religion and iftsSion'3 at home and abroad, but, Mr. President, lit is a slander upon the men who with rifle .n one ihand, and an axe In the cither have gone out and blazed the pathway of civilization in those Western wilds. I am a Western man I went to Missouri when it was a frontier, in sight of the Indian and buffalo. I have lived with those people neanly fifty year®, and I say to ou'r president now 'that if he will Interrupt hunting ducks in North Carolin'a and silver Democrats tin Kentucky long enough to come out West we wiill show him a God-reajring, •self-respecting, law-abiding people we will show h-im churches in which there is real and unaffected piety.

Our church spires may not reach so near to heaven as those of the east and our church organs may not have the mellifluous tones of those in the east, but our people are .worthy of the respect of any administration. But I do not rise again for the purpose of criticizing. this administration. I rose to say most emphatically that this habit of secretaries or members of the cabinet deliberately trampling upon the law of congress and refusing to carry them out has gone to an extent that demands immediate notice at the' hands of the legislative department of the government."

There was another loud and long demonstration on the floor and in the galleries as Mr. Vest closed.

At 2 o'clock Mr. Cannon's resolution was temporarily laid aside and the Dupon't case was taken up. Mr: Thurston addressed the senate on behalf of Mr. Dupont. He referred to the speech of Mr. Vest saying it disclosed what felicity and harmony perennially presides in the household of the Democratic party.

The following bills were passed: Amending the law as to' fees and costs in oirount courts of appeals amending the practice as habeas- corpus cases in circuit counts of appeals for the reciortstiruoMon of Rack Island bridges auithioriaing the secretary of war to issue Spri.ntg®eld miflies to. state troops in exeha.ng? for, a.n equal number of old arms fixing ohe salaries of the ch'ie'f justice and justices of the court of claim-s ait $6,500 and* $6,000 respectively and authorizing the committee on Indian affairs to visit Indian reservatitons, schools, "eitta.

At 5:50 p. m. I'.ih'e sedate went into execut.Sve session and shortly aifitcniward adjourned.

DISORDERLY CONVENTIONS TO LECT DELEGATES TOjST. LOUIS.

In One a Hundred Police Bad to Charge the^Factions to Prevent a Blot—

Dejegate8

Chosen...

frew York, March 18.—In all congressional districts of this city with the ceptlon of the Sixteenth, the Republicans tonight held conventions for the purpose of electing delegates and alternates to the national Republican convention which will be held in St. Louis next June. Two delegates and two alternates were chosen by the representa tfives of the various assembly districts comprising the several congressional districts. Turbulence and oonfusion .were the chief characteristics in the Twelfth and Fifteenth districts.

In the Murray Hill Lyceum the Twelfth district convention was held, it looked as if the only the presence of a squad of policemen prevented a scene of principle encounter between the opposing factions favoring Morton and Mc Kinley as presidential candidates. In spite of the claims of the antii-machine men that they had -their ball wick well in hand, they were defeated, but only after a stubborn tflght. Even then they would not accept defeat but got together and held an opposition conven tion audi elected their own delegates In consequence of this action, there will be a contest before the national assem bly.

A wild scene of riot and disorder marked the opening proceedings of the Fifteenth congressional district conven tian at Renwick Hall. Over 1,000 ex cited men cheered, hooted and yelled at each other while Police Inspector Cartwrlgh't Qjnd 100 officers and patrolmen vainly endeavored to restore something like a semblance of order. The fight was between the Piatt and Brookfield factions.

PandeimonOum 'broike loose and every one in the hall made a rush for the plai form, amd one faction yelled defiance at the other. The police charged and drove the crowd 'back.

The Plaiti.ates had prepared their plan of campaign and were determined to run 'the cciroventibn, and ithe other side was equallly determSned to manage tilings their own way. The "result was that 'there were really two conventions held at the same time.

Out of the 594 delegates the Piatt fax: tion cflialSmed that 'the opposition itickiet would be elected by a twothiirds vote of •the entire delegation. It is not likely •that the vote will be taroofwn umtiil to morrow. The delegates were still vot ing ait midnight. I.t is the first time that two separate conventions have been held from the same platform at the same t'ime in the history poll tiles in this ciity and it will have to be determined whitoh faction i& entitled to have theiir delegates seiaited when the nation al convention meats ait St. Louis.

There was also a split in the Thirteenth district, iwo sets of delegates being elected.

Morton delega'teb were elected in all other districts as follows: Eighth—iLucas L. Van Allen and Lis penard Stewart. iNinth—Charles H. Murray and John J. Collins.

Tenth—Fred S. Gibbs and John P. Wlnd'Olph. [Eleventh—Jacob 'M. Patterson and George Hilliard.

Fourteenth—JL. F. Quigg and Abra ham Grivber. In the Thirteenth district the Piatt faction elected John Reisenweber and Alexander T. Mason as delegates and the Brookfield people elected Anson 'MdCook and William ^Brookfield.

Thurston Makes Concessions. Washington, (March 18.—Referring to to the report that the Republicans of Nebraska had wired to himself and exSenator Manderson a plan of the settlement of the differences existing between them as to instructions 'to be given the 'Nebraska delegates to the next Republican national convention, Senator Thurston said today that he had received nothing of this nature, except a suggestion from Mr. Manderson's friends for a modification of the terms he had outlined in a private dispatoh which had been pubished. He said he had assented to 'this Imodification. He added that he would be entirely willing that the Nebraska delegates should be instructed to present the name of Mr. Manderson to the St. Louis convention provided that it should be apparent that this could be done without endangering the chances of Major McKlnley.
