WARNING TO WEYLER
Will Kill all Spaniards, If
Weyler Persists.
SO DECLARES GENERAL RIVERA
The Story of the Fight and Flight
. the Steamer Three Friend Was
a Story, and that Only.
of
IJkw Yobk, Dec. 26. A special from
Key West to the World says :
Steamship passengers say that Gener
al Rivera, who is in command of the
army of Maceo, has sent a formal warn
ing to General Weyler, General Rivera
notified the Spanish captain-general that
if he persisted in his threats to kill pa
cificoa found in the country, the Cubans
will make reprisals on all Spaniards
whom they may capture.
General Weyler is affecting to disre
gard the warning. Those near him bow
ever, say be will not dare to carry oat
bis ideas as ruthlessly a9 be intended.
HFs guerillas still have full authority to
capture or to kill pacificos in. the coun
try and to force their families into the
garrisoned towns. As the troops in such
places have little extra food and the re
sidents none to spare, this order lays a
great hardship npon the poor country
iolk. Hundreds will soon be starving.
General Rivera is moving out of his en
trenchments. All indications point to
an important engagement soon.
General Weyler has visited various
points on the trocha and RanChristobal.
He is always accompanied by a large
force.
There is skirmishing daily along the
trocha and on the outskirts of Artemisa.
A -battle has been fought in Santa
Clara province between guerilla bands.
The Cubans forced the Spanish to retire
into Remedios with heavy loss.
Regia, across the bay from Havana,
was attacked again last night almost un
der the guns of the fortress. Several
houses were burned and a running fight
maintained for two hours.
. The fighting around the city greatly
alarms the reeidents. The troops' night
watch in the suburbs have been doubled.
THE THREE FRIKNOS' EXPERIENCE.
Story of Her Fight With Spantsh War
- ships Denied In Havana.
, Cincinnati. Dec. 25. A special to the
Commercial-Tribune from Key West says
Much comment was made today in
Havana over the report cabled from New
York that the filibustering steamer
Three Friends bad been -fired on by
Spanish cruisers, and that the steamer
had disabled a Spanish gunboat. This
report is positively denied in official cir
cles, who affirm that nothing of the kind
occurred, but that the story is made
from whole cloth. It is admitted that
the steamer landed . on the south
side of the island. It is farther admitted
that only a part of the cargo was secured
by Gomez, the Spanish coast guard hav
incr captured a good portion.. The
Three Friends is here, lying under the
guns of the Raleigh. Captain Lewis re
fuses tct say anything about the trip,
save that he had been after derelicts.
As to the story of a fight, he professes
ignorance. None of the crew can be in
duced to speak of the affair. The veesd
does not bear any mark of a conflict, and
the report is doubted here,
Havana, Dec. 25. Inquiries in official
quarters by the correspondent of the As
sociated Press elicited a denial of the
story published in the United States,
that the filibustering steamer Three
Friends fired upon a Spanish guard
steamer and a Spanish gunboat.

tested to the sultan, against Mazar Bey,

murder, being included in the general
annesty, they requested their respect
ive governments to send fleets to Alex

A Sheep War Threatened.
Denver, Dec. 25. Advices received

camps on Snake river, determined to
drive all the sheep out of Routt county
and establish the Colorado-Wyoming

dead line over which the sheep may not
pass.
An Overdue Steamship.

ried no passengers. She had a crew of
forty-four and a miscellaneous cargo.
The Allan line agents express confidence
that the steamer will report safely.

HE WAS A SMART BOY.
Managed to Recover a Dropped Quarter
from a Difficult Spot.
He ihad deposited his ticket in the
box on the downtown- station of the
Sixth avenue "L" road at Fiftieth street
early one morning', and was counting'
his cha'njre m a search for plvjig-g-ed dimes
and nickels. A quarter foil from his
hands and rolled along'- th platform
until it lodged under tJhc raised steps
allien form the edge of the platform.
There it lay in plain view, but as unob
tainable as the golden apples of Hes
perides. ' The loser was the picture of
rage, says the New York Mail and Ex
press. "I don't care about the blame coin,"
he wailed. "I've got ''em to burn; but
it just makes me mad to see that quarter
there, and I can't get it."
"Gimme a dime, mister," said a mes
senger boy, "and five cents for ex
penses, and I'll get your mun."
The man regarded the boy for a mo
ment and said: "Go ahead."
lie returned in a few minutes with
his form, working convulsively. In his
hand he had a piece of soantling. The
crowd, watched him curiously. From
his mouth .the boy took a well masti
cated wad of chewing gum. He stuck
this on the end of the scantling ami.
thrusting' 1 lie stick -through the narrow
space, pressed the soft and sticky gum
firmly on the lost coin. Then he deftly
drew it out and presented the money to
its owner.
"Keep the whole outfit," said the man.
"Boy, you're a peach. We live and
learn," and he boarded a train, his faci
wreathed im smiles. The face of the boy
was similarly decorated.
