The Spanish Premier.
New YortK, March 3. A special to tho
Herald from Madrid says:
Premier Canovas last night made tho
following statement: "I cannot under
stand how some people in tho United
States have got it into their minds that
we, or rather General Woyler, is carry
ing on war in Cuba on Inhuman lines.
It is all false. Nothing more than a
tissuo of falsehoods. 1 venture to state
that up to tho present no American con
sul has been ahlo to notify his govern
ment of a single instanco ot cruelty on
Weyler's part, for tho simple reason that
no such thing occurs.
"As a matter of fact, I havo given the
most stringent orders that Woyler is to
bo most humane. No inhumanities or
cruelties have been perpetrated at nil
The latter are all the imagination of
friends of Cuba in the United States
Look at General Woylor's proclamation,
It is nothing more than what obtains Ikj
twren riyilized nations when at war with
ono another, as for instance, in the
Franco-German war. As a matter of
fact, the Germans shot spies because the
latter did not carry on the war as recog
nized ou acknowledged lines; that is. by
fighting face to face with the enemy. As
is natural, we do tho same wiih spies in
Cuba, simply because the latter do not
fight according to the maxims of war as
it is recognized by civilized nations. Is
there any cruelty in this? It Is, I admit,
inhuman, but then, all warfare is inhu
u.
Then, uain.I read of the sympathy
exuresso by Unlteu dates senators lor
poor Cuban insurgents. How ridiculous!
And how about the poor white inhabit
ants of Cuba, Spanish BubjecU, whoso
whole interests are bound up in the
island? Is there no sympathy for them?
Surely tho litter deserve it more than
the former.
"I consider Spain has been itrcssly
ca'.uminated, and I venture to think that
the self-respecting, nonjingo portion of
tho United States electorate are of the
sanio opinion.
You see yourself what stringent
measures I have adopted to protect the
persons of representatives of friendly
powers in Madrid, and, indeed, through
out Spun, i will not allow any dis
turbance of tho public peace, because I
feel convinced-tbat, in spite of what has
occurred, tho practical portion of the
community of the United Stated will
recognize the impossibili:y of recog
nizing the Cuban insurgents as belliger

is immense, but I shall keep it in
bounds. To-lay the civil guard in Bar

Mrs. Cody's Body Found.
Tacoma, March 2. Ttie remains ot
Mr?. Arthur Cody of Chicago, were
found today by her father, P. H. Good
rich, and A. R. Upright. They had been
making a systematic search of the brush
along the bluff in the northern part of
the city, and had reached the foot of
North Ninth street, when Mr. Goodrich
came across a neatly rolled bundle, which
he instantly recognized as the shawl and
cloak his daughter wore the day she dis
appeared. With a moan of anguish he
fell forward upon his facf , utterly over
come with grief. His companion heard
tho sound and hastened to bis side.
ho came up he caught sight ol the cloth'
ing and at once knew that the long search
was at an end.
Forty feet away, ou a side trail leading
from the one be was following, the re
mains of Mrs. Cody were found, in
very good state of preservation, consider
ing that they had been exposed for 31
days, since January 31, the day of her
disappearance.
Mrs. Cody had committed suicide while
temporarily insane. The fatal bullet en
tered between the eighth and nitith ribs,
piercing tbe lower portion of the heart.
The weapon used was the cheap revolver
sho purchased the day she disappeared.
Mr. Cody reached San Francisco to

Has Wcyler Resigned?
New York, March 3. A special to the
Herald from Havana says:
The startling rumor that General Wey-
ler bad resigned swept like wildfire
through Havana, originating from an ap
parently worthy source. It was, how
ever, promptly denied at the palace.
When Martinez de Campos retired his
reported resignation was also denied in
Havana, in officii! circles, up to the last

will be severe on thousands of cattle ou

felt for the fruit crop, as the recent fort

brought out the buds, and in Southern
Kansas tbe leaves on trees have begun
to make their appearance.

British Opinion.
London, March 3. The relations be
tween tbe United states and fepain over
the Cuban question continue to occupy a
large share of attention, and newspapers
of all classes comment upon the situa
tion.
The St. James' Gazette remarks: "If
Spain and the United States go to war it
do s not follow that the Americans will
have euch a mere walkover as they antic
ipate. The price of American stocks
tells its own tale. American commerce
would be a fine bait for Spanish priva
teers, and the capture of Cuba would
hardly compensate for such damage.
American commerce would feel the re
sults, not only on the Atlantic, but in
European waters.
"Tho prospect of Spanish privateers
recalls that another of America's political
chicks is come home to roost. Spain
followed America's example in refusing
to recognize the abolition of privateers.
Thus not even the slight obstacle of in
ternational agreement exists to prevent
tho Spaniards from equipping a swarm
of steamers to prey upon American ship-
pine, which tho Americans threaten to
do to the British if they are ever at war
with tho United States."
Tbe editorial of the limes says:
"Somo people might pronounce Mr,
Hitt's resolution more offensive and
bellicose than tho senate's but tho point
is of little consequence, considering tho
largeness of the majorities and the rapid
ity with which tlio resolution was
adopted, almost amounting to precipi
taucy. Our correspondent ascribes this
haste to the Barcelona disturbances, but
Spain apologized for theso with a prorap
titude worthy of n Chamberlain. Prcsi
dent Cloveland has now to decide
whether it is safe to disregard the con-
A Crushing Defeat.
Hojik, March 3. It iB reported here
today that General Barateri. commander
of the Italian forces in Africa, who suf-1
fered another severe reverse at tbe hands
of tbe Rhoans, while advancing on Ab-
bararima, was wounded. The Italian
army waB divided into three columns un
der Generals Albertone, Arimondi and
Darbormida, with a brigade nndcr Gen
eral Kmena, as a reserve. The Italians
captured the passes leading to Adowa,
the capital of Tigre.
General .Albert ono's column then ad
vanced on Abbacarima. It was won af
terwards attacked by the Rboan army
and compelled to retreat. Tbe other col
umns were unable to render him assist
anco, as they were shortly afterwards en
gaged in defending themselves against
larce numbers, and eventually retired
behind Beliesa.
According to correspondents in Africa
of the People Romano, half the Italian
artillery and ammunition and provisions
were lost.
Other advices report 2000 Italian sol
diers killed, and among them Generals
Albertone and Darbormida.
This evening it is rumored that Gen
eral Barateri, when ho became aware of
the full extent of disaster to his successor
shot himself. At the ministry of war
this was discredited. As evening wore
on and the worst news of the Italian de
feat was confirmed, tho inhabitants gave
way to rage against tue government.
Bands of young men began parading the
streets shouting, "Down with Crispil"
but were promptly dispersed by tho po
lice All troops throughout tho city were
placed under arms and patrols of mounted
gendarmes were ordered to tbe leading
thoroughfares.
It is stated that the ministry has de
cided to resign as the result of a popular
clamor arising from the recent defeat of
tho Italian forces in Abysinnia.
All Italy Excited.
Rome, March, 4. The kingdom of
Italy today is filled with oxcilement,
grief and anger almost beyond de:cript-
ion. Every dispatch from Massowah
adds to the gravity of tho disaster to the
Italian army at Adowa, Alsuie. When
the first news of General Barateri's de
feat reached the city, report bad it that
only 5C0 men had ben killed. Then
yesterday alternoon tbe number ran up
to 3000 killed, with 00 pieces ol artillery
captured. This morning's dispatches
place the number of killed in the battle
and the long harassing retreat, which
followed, at 5000. It is believed not
even these figures tell the full extent of
the disaster.
No mention Lis made of the wounded,
and there is good reason, based on stor
ies of recent Italian defeats by Abyssini-
ans, to .believe those who leli wounded
during tbe retreat of over 50 miles met a
more horrible fate than those killed on
the spot.
ihrougbout tbe mgbt tbe garrison
here was kept under arms, and mounted
patrols traversed the principal Btreets
Tbe Btreets were filled with people until
daybreak, and after early morning every
public place was crowded with excited
men and women. Several disturbances
which called for police interference oc
curred today, and indications are that
the people arc assuming a most threat
ening attitude, not only in Rome but
throughout Italy. Demonstrations
against Criapi's ministry and even
against the crown are reported from the
provinces, in spite of tbe fact that the
authorities were straining every nerve to
suppress all alarming newp.
Later in tbo day news Irom tbe prov
inces became more alarming. It was
stated that in a number of places the po
lice were unablo to cope with the popu
lace, and troops had to be called on to
restore order. The soldiers, however,
appear to have been as helpless as the
police, and in several places tho crowds
were fired upon.
At Milan tbe troops, after vainly try-
iug to disperse a mob, were obliged to
fire. One man was killed and several
wounded. This increased the excite
ment. Tho trcops were stoned and had
to clear the public square at the point of
the bayonet.
Dispatches from Venice say last night
a crowd assembled at Plaza St. Mark,
and speeches were made 'condemning
the manner in which the Abyssinian
campaign had been conducted, and
calling upon the military authorities to
try General Barateri by court-martial
There was another popular demonstra
tion against tlie government this morn
ing, and the mob was only dispersed by
the "police with the greatest difficulty
alter a number of arrests had been
made.
At Padua today a mob marched
brougli tlie streets Hooting tlie govern
ment officials and crvinir for the down
fall of the Crispi ministry.
At Verona there was a similar demon
stration. It is believed that nothing
short of the downfall of Scnor Crispi and
the dispatch of strong reinforcements to
Africa will satisfy tho public clamor.
Shortly lefore noon it was announced
that General Barateri had been recalled
to Rome, and his conduct of the present
campaign and his defeat at Adowa will
be inquired into. Socialists declare the
general should be shot as an example to
others, and the minister of war should
share his fate.
The army reserves of 1S72, numbering
about SO.000 men, are being call&l to the
standard, but it is feared there will be
serious rioting when the men muster in
large bodies.
News of the death of Generals Aller
tone and Dabormida has been confirmed
It is believed over 500 Italian officers of
lesser rank have been slain.

and may tho Lord have mercy on your
souls. Good-by." Ex.
