THE CUBAN BUTCHER
Takes the Field and Gets
Whipped.
HIS CASE SHROUDED IN MYSTERY
A Judge Bides Fifty Mile In a Snow
Storm to Get a Prisoner
Reprieved.
St. Louis, Nov. 12. A special to tbe
Globe-Democrat from Key West, Fla.,
says :
Captain-General Weyler baa at last
met the Cubans on tbe field, and has
Buffered a repulse, according to the ad
vices per Steamer Olivette, from Ha
vana, last night. Weyler, it is said,
was attacked while encamped in the
Gobernado bills, in Pinar del Rio prov
ince, by Cubans, under Perico del Bado
and Perico Diaz. The Cubans snrprieed
the Spanish outposts, and, for a time,
great contueion prevailed in Weyler's
camp. Weyler is said to have fallen
back about eiebt miles. During there
treat, tbe Cubans killed . thirty-four
Spaniards and wounded sixty others.
American Supervision Over Cuba.
New Yokk, Nov. 11. The Journal's
London cable says:
"I am told that the attitude of .Eng
land favors an agreement that America
should hold future supervision over
Cuba. She knows that tbe other pow
ers will not object to this mode of end
ing the impotent reign of Spain in that
island, and she also knows that she will
not be allowed by either Enrope or
America to exercise this suzerainty her
self. It is said tnat tbe British, govern
ment has sounded tbe chief chancellors
of Europe as to their attitude toward
American interference between Spain
and Cuba and has. satisfied herself that
no great power will object to this
DRAWING NEAR A CRISIS.
Important Developments In the Cuban
Affairs Expected.
New York, Nov. 12. A special to the
Herald from Washington eays :
Important developments in Cuban af
fairs may be expected at an early date,
but not from this end of the - line. The
administration thoroughly understands
the situation in Cnba, as it exists today.
and does not regard the time as ripe for
any action by this country.
Many sensational reports are afloat
about immediate intervention by tbe
United States and extensive military
preparations for prospective tronble
with Spain. It can be stated author!
tively that tbe president regards tbe
millrary situation in Cuba as far to crit
ical to warrant any action by the United
States at this time. It is the firm con
viction of the administration officials
that a real crisis is approaching in Cu
ban affairs, and that the only safe coarse
for this country to pursue is to await de
velopments.
A DRIVE FOR A LIFE.
Judge's Efforts to Save m Convicted
Murderer.
Fargo, N. D., Nov. 11. The chances
that Myron Kent will not hang Thurs
day grow brighter. Governor Allen has
wired Judge McConnell for tbe reason
for asking executive clemency. Tbe lat
ter telegraphed back : "The reason I
request you to commute the death sen
tence of Myron Kent is that his case is
shrouded in mystery, and bis conviction
is based merely on circumstantial evi
dence which does not preclude all possi
ble doubt."
Coming, as this does, from the man
who presided over tbe trial, it is strong
language, and may influence tbe gov
ernor. Immediately on receipt of this

the governor wired Judge McConnell to
come at once to Bismark. The judge
was at Sherbrooke, in Steele county,
and a telegraph bays he missed the Great
Northern train at Hope, but started to
drive 50 miles across tbe Snow-iaderi
prairie with the temperature below zero,
to reach tbe main line of the Northern
Pacific in time to catch the midnight
train to Bismark. It is a ride to save . a
man's life, and if he reaches tbe capital
in time to confer with Governor Allen,
tbe sentence will nrobablv be commuted.
Sheriff Barns will have everything in
readiness for the execution Thursday
morning unless executive clemency is
exercised within the next 24 hours.
WHERE THEY STAND.
Republican Silver Senators Will Abide
by the Cancns.
New Yobe, Nov. 11. Senators Clark
and Warren, of Wyoming; Senators
Brown and Cannon, of Utah, and Sen
ator Perkins, of California, whose future
positions of finance and the tariff have
been in doubt, .may . control by their
votes tbe action of congress this winter
on all financial legislation. -They have
lemoved the uncertainty, however, by
telegraphing to tbe World where they
stand. All but one of them will par
ticipate in tbe Republican caucus and
abide by its decision as to bills increas
ing tbe public revenues. Three of them
are as much opposed to the single gold
standard as ever, but none of them,
except Senator Cannon, a representa
tive of Utah, will insist upon a free
silver rider to the Dingley or any other
tariff bill. '
New Tariff Liv Hast Be Passed at Once.
New York, Nov. 11. Senator Sher
man, of Ohio, who is at the Fifth-avenue
hotel, talked freely with an Even
ing Post reporter today about tbe oat
look for legislation in congress.
"It will be necessary to pass a tariff
measure at once," be said. "Tbe Ding
ley bill with some ceanges will do for
tbe . present. The Democrats made a
great mistake in not permitting that
bill to pass at the last congress. It
was only a temporary measure, in
tended to raise the revenue the govern
ment absolutely needed, and if tbe
Democrats had let it go through they
would have -escaped a great deal of
censure and criticism that was beaped
upon it. I doubt if the Democrats in
the senate will oppose tbe bill.
"I am sure the silver senators would
not obstruct legislation. I understand
all the silver men except Teller and
Dubois are opposed to tbe policy of ob
struction. If tbe Dingley bill is passed
at the coming session of congress there
will be no necessity for an extraordi
nary session after March 4. Consider
ing everything I think the outlook for
tbe passage of the bill is bright.
"It is doubtful if tbe Republicans
will have a majority in the senate. No
body can tell yet whether Republicans
or Democrats will go to the senate from,
Kentucky and North Carolina. Until
these states elect senators it will be
impossible to say which side will have
a majority."

jumped on to him before others could
interfere. Saddler had just been elected
