WEYLER'S NEW POLICY
Will Inaugurate a Campaign
of Destruction.
CAXOVAS DICTATED THIS MOVE
He Says the Republicans Must Be
Promptly Crnihed--Weyler is
Grauted Bull Sway.
Havana, Aug. 31. The rebels must
be defeated before the end of the year.
Premier Canovas cabled to General
Weyler explaining that the Spanish gov
ernment has taken alarm at the devel
opments of a recent interview between
TJ. S. Minister Taylor and the Duke of
Tetuan, Spain's minister of foreign af
fairs. General Weyler cabled back to
Madrid that in that case he must resort
to extreme methods.
"Do as you please," replied Senor
Canovaa.
. Thereupon General Weyler determined
to issue shortly an edict forbidding the
grinding of the season's sugar crop.
When that edict appears, war will be
gin in earnest. Cubans will occupy
hills and woods, the Spanish troops will
be in cities and towns. , The sugar mills
will be destroyed by both sides, for
.Weyler will adopt Gomez's tactics, and
enter upon a campaign of extirpation.
Cuba will be desolate by fire and sword.
The torch will be applied by regulars
and insurgents alike to everything which
might give aid and com fort to the enemy.
Everybody outside' the military lines
will be shot without challenge.
There was a panic in political and
financial quarters when General Wey
ler's intention leaked out. The Mar--quis
oi Apeztegula, the chief of the con
servative party, was immediately sum
moned to Havana by wire and arrived
yesterday from the Constanzia sugar
plantation, where he was making ex
tensive preparations for next year,
A meeting of the conservative leaders
was held. Planters and politicians of
great influence were present. After a
long and hot -discussion, in which Gen
eral Weyler's expected edict was de
nounced without stint, resolutions were
adopted to this purpose :
First That a committee compoeed of
the Marquis of Apezteguia, Paequel
Goigochea and Fatacco Sanchez visit
Weyler and try to prevail upon him not
to issue the edict. .
Second If be persists in his deter
mination to issue the edict, that the
government at Madrid be urged to recall
Weyler to Spain. .
The workmen in a Spanish cigar fac
tory operated by an "Englishman named
Bock made a public 'demonstration Fri
day night in favor of Spain, at which the
favorite cry was "Death to the Ameri
cans."
General Quintin Banderas, after de
feating the Spanish forces under Captain
Bulbano, at Bacunagua, Pinar del Rio
province, wrecking a train and seizing
the booty, marched eastward with 800
men, crossing the trocha unmolested
through the Pirgua hills. He camped
at Aguirre, southwest of Alquizar, Ha
vana province, and is reported to be at
the ruined sugar mill, Mirosa, near
Quivican. -The
Matanzas court of justice refuses
. to obey General Weyler's order to re
move the Sagda judge. General Weyler
threatens to abolish the court if it disre
gards bis .autocratic order. Lawyers
here, Spaniards included, resent General
Weyler's interfering with the civil
courts.
The Spanish liner, City of Cadiz, has
. arrived with reinforcements. Captain
Tomaso reports that 500 soldiers, mostly
Andalusians of the worst character, mtv
tinied on the voyage. Their leaders had
tobe put in irons. Nothing serious hap
pened, however, as precaution against
just such a thing had-been taken pre
vious to their embarkation. They were
not allowed to have their arms while on
the ship. -

a satisfactory sum was the result from
the sale of refreshments and subscrip
tions. Another man is colonizing the
troops in Georgia, and they will be
shipped from Key West October 1.
Mr. Stewart is a fearless young man,
once a candidate for the legislature, and
is the promoter. Since his plans have
been made public he has received hun
dreds of letters from military men and
others anxious to accompany him and
manv donations.
SOUTHEKN OREGON CRIMES.
Charles Perry Decoyed. Murdered and
Robbed.
Gbant's Pass, Aug. 31. Information
was received here today from Sheriff
Fred Ferguson, of , Del Norte ' county,
California, that the dead body of Charles
Perry had been found in a well on the
old wagon road between Kerbyville,
Oregon and Crescent City, California.
Perry had been employed at the Brown
Copper Company's smelter at Waldo,
and when the company closed down last
epriDg to put in a more extensive plant,
he was induced by a roan named Neal
son to go with him to a supposed rich
placer claim, about twenty miles from
Waldo, in the direction" of the coast.
Perry, before eetting out on the trip,
asked the advice of W. H. Wood, who
was in charge of the smelter, and Wood
advised him not to go, as there were no
placer claims in Colifornia er Oregon
that would give 50 cents to the pan, as
had been represented by Nealson, and
that if a man had a -claim half as rich
he need never work a day, and added
Mr. Wood: "Charley, I am . an old
timer in Oregon. Beware of that man.'
In spite of Wood's advice and warn
ing, Perry left with this man. A few
evenings after their departure, Nealson,
it is claimed, showed np at Payne sta
tion and offered Perry's watch for sale
to the storekeeper, who, luckily for jus
tice, bought it, and afterward sold it to
a man named Smith, who carried it
to Bnmbolt county, California.
. Mr. Wood not hearing from bis old
smelter hand, reported his suspicions to
Sheriff Ferguson of Del Norte county,
California, and also to the sheriff of
Josephine county, Oregon. The Del
Norte sheriff, Ferguson, hearing about
the sale of the watch, followed up the
clue and located the watch in Humbolt
county. Ferguson then turned his at
tention to the finding of Perry's body,
for although the miner suspected Neal
son, vet there was only evidence of the
watch against him, and to arrest him
might defeat the ends of justice. - In the
meantime Nealson went to or near Cree
cent City to see his wife, from whom he
had been separated. He told her that
his father had died in the Willamette
valley and had left him a small fortune.
He bought furniture and otherwise
fitted np the house, but never suspected
that the eyes of Fred Ferguson were on
him night and day. Time after time
the sheriff searched for Perry's body,
and after five months' perseverance he
was rewarded by finding it yesterday in
an old . well - some distance from the
Payne stage station. Whether Nealson
has been arrested or not cannot be defi
nitely ascertained, but word has reached
here that forty placer miners have taken
charge of Nealson at Summit, and there
is one point certain, that if any of the
old nanas irom tne copper mines are
there, Nealson, Mf guilty, will surely
swing. ';
Perry, who was over 52 years old, was
; an Odd Fellow, and . leaves a wife and
family in Michigan. Mr. Wood com
municated with the Perry family some
three weeks ago asking about him, but
up to this morning has received no an
swer.
A Drunken Man's Crime.
Detboit, Aug. 31. Frank Beabien,
aged 40, a . member of an old French
family, inherited considerable money re
cently and bad been drinking heavily.
This morning he went home drunk.
His wife remonstrated. He shot her in
the back, inflicting a mortal wound.
He also attempted to shoot his two chil
dren, but both escaped injury. He then
blew bis brains out. ,
