as its den Derate judgement tbat never
in the history of the Democratic party

bodies more completely the interests of
the whole people as distinguished from
those who seek legislation for private
benefit than that given the country bv
the National Democratic convention of
1893."
PKKPAK1NG TO TIGHT.
Vigorous
Campaign to
Cab.
Be Opened In
Havana, Sept. 17. There was much
animation in the captain-general's palace
yesterday. Captain-General Weyler
held a conference with various com
manders of columns, also with the com
xnanding officer of marine and the chief
of the medical department. These con
ferences are the precursors of an ap
proaching campaign, which is intended
to be vigorous and resolute.
vjaptain-lreneral Weyler will assume
personal command at Pinar del Rio,
Abumida and Palmeroa, taking charge
respectively of military and political af
iairs at Havana. Among other meas
ures General Weyler thinks of adopting
as a prelude to the campaign is the
revocation of the edict of pardon, oblig
ing families having connections in the
ranks of the insurgents, to move into
other provinces, and making coBcentra
tion in villages obligatory, considering
all persons found in the country as ene
mies or supporters of the enemy.
Captain-General Weyler's order re
cently issued putting line officers in
command of regular guerilla and volun
teer forces, is bitterly resented and in
consequence thereof many desertions are
occurring. -
- At Sagua la Grand; where Captains
lrogyen and Quintero, of the regular
army, were lately appointed, one-third
ot the' men have disappeared. At
Camerones, a Santa Clara town, the
local Spanish guerrilla went over to the
enemy in a body a few days ago, and re
turning with the insurgent-, assisted
the latter to capture a government fort
in the suburbs. . They then raided the
town, looted stores and ransacked va
rious private residences, seized the local
archives and carried off the municipal
seal. '

mounted Spanish guerilla force armed
with Mauser rifles at the expense of
Bayamo merchants, recently went over
to the rebels, joining Calixto Garcia.
The captain is a nephew of Garcia, and
obtained his commission from Martinez
Campos, former captain-general.
According to the. latest information
Maceo has moved south of his former
positions. No steps will betaken to fol
low him until the commencement of the
concerted operations above referred to.
Captains Carrerez and Oliverette, ot
the Sauga la Grand guerrilla forces, who
have long been the terror of resident
naturalized aliens and native pacificos
of that vicinity, have been relieved of
their commands and both thrown into a
'ocal fortress to await court-martial.
Carrerez is alleged to have captured and
shot prisoners of war, as well as pacificos
without the formality of a trial.

Oakland, Cal., Sept. 17. Tbat James
Feenan, a well borer, who resides alone
in a small cottage at Berkeley, was not
burned to a criep last night is due to his
pet dog, Dell.
About 2 o'clock in the morning fire
broke out in the adjoining room, and the
dog by its frantic howls and tugs at the
bed clothes awakened its master who
was already surrounded by flames. In
escaping from the house he was seriously
burned. Tbe gkin had peeled from
various parts of his body. His hair was
all gone, and his eyebrows and eyelashes
were singed to a crisp. In this pitiable
condition he was found near a hillside
where he had crawled to get away from
the burning building. " The little dog
that bad been scorched in the flames in
bis efforts to save his master, stood by
his side. Feenan was taken to the bos
pital, and is now in a critical condition.
