AltRRST OF CIVILIANS.
Havana, March 7, via. Tampa, Flu.,
Mulch . Arrests of civilians under
the sweeping provisions of Ocneral
Weyier's proclamation of February 1U,
have been made at such n rate and in
many rases with so little evidence of
Kitllt that Oencral Weyler was com
pelled a week uh'o to Issue Instructions
to his ofllcers to the more careful ,us he
required more proof than verbal denun
ciation. Yesterday lie Issued a circu

proof must be furnished by-other Ihun
Interested parties liefore licensed per
sons will be deported! mid warning
commanders that hey will be held re
sponsible for fulse answers. Without
doubt Cenoial, Weyler has ill view the

commiiiideS's believe Weyler to be u man
of severe measure, a man who will
quickly aopiove any extreme uct on
their part. They look upon his circu

States. They look for no punishment
for summary executions of Cubans,

REIUN OK TERROR.
I have visited towns where nearly
every family hud lied ill terror, leaving
dishes standing uixm the tables and
everything In disorder, showing the
huste in which 'honiow were abandoned.
I talked with the few who remained,
nnd was told 4bnt -the iienplc did not
dread the Insurgents, but (led from
fear of the excesses of the Spanish
troops, fin the other hand in some sec
tions where towns have been used by
the Spanish, the insurgents have burned
the whole town and the people were
left homeless, other towns which have
harbored the Insursents have been de
stroyed by the Spanish troops, and Die
wreck find ruin which Is Peine visited
upon the fair Island of Cuba Is pitiful
to rontemplate. lint for the warmth
of the rllmnte and the ease with which
life is sustained In, the tropics, thou
sand would have, perished ere this,
and the Island would be a ehnmel
house before the end Is reached. In
many towns there have been no provis
ion for weeks. People have lived by
sucking Huxur cane and eatlntr plants.
Many people camped for days upon the
ruins of their homes In burned dis
tricts, sleeping upon the ground at nlitht
and crawtiuir under a thatch during
the heat of the sun. Those who could
have sought refuge In the cities and
few in proportion, who had the means,
have escaped to the t'nlted States. Mex
ico or some other country, where peace
able citizens are not liable to summary
execution.

KTLlXCiKK'S BODY STOLEN.
It Is Ihoiiulit Thut the Heinaias of the
Uutlaw Have Been Turned Over to
Medieal Students.
Bellefotite. Pa., March 9. All sorts
of rumors were current here today con
cerning; the exiuimlne of the body of
William KtliiiKer, the Woodward out
law and suicide. The Inhabitants of
Woodward say the body was carried olf
early Sunday moruintr by a party of
youiiK men who arrived at that place
late Saturday night from LewlsbuiB.
Four of the party waited at the hotel
while the others drove Into the moun
tains in the direction of the grave. They
all left the place at 4 o'clock Sunday
mnrnliiK for LcwisburK; presumably
with the body In the carriage.
The irrave is in a seemingly undis
turbed condition, but us only stones
covered the corlln In Hie lirst place It
cannot be told whether the remains
have actually been stolen.
Sheriff Condo when seen this evening
snid he had Investigated the rumor and
was satisfied It was correct. The body,
It Is said, was not exhumed by the
Indignant citizens In a spirit of revenge
but by :artles as n subject for some
medical college either In Philadelphia
or Baltimore. It was taken on Sat
urday night, according to the most
authentic statements, but this is not
known for sure, as no one has taken
sulDclent interest to dig open the grave
and find out whether the remains were
there or not.
The feeling of the citizens of Wood
ward against Mrs. Etlinger fur the
forced part she took In the tragedy is
very bitter, and they are demanding
thut she be either arrested or that she
leave the county. The district attor
tiev Iiiim ',lliii-oiii.'hlv invest lirntrid all
charges against her and is satisfied
that she cannot be Indicted.

SPANISH IBS FURIOUS
Rioters Attack the United States
Consulate at bilbao.
REPULSED BY THE POLICE
Twelve Thousand Persons Take Part In
Antl-Ainerlcan Rlot-The? Break
Windows in the Con
sill's Residence.
Rllbao. Spuln. March 9. Fully 12.000
persons took part In an anti-American
riot here yesterduy afternoon. The
demonstration was started by a group
of young men at a street corner who be
gun cheering every soldier who pussed
by. Their conduct was soon imitated
by other groups. Some musicians who
refused to repeat the national anthem
were hustled, beaten, and otherwise Ill
treated. The excitement Increased rap
idly and riotous groups formed in the
main streets, cheering for Spain and de
nouncing the I'nited States.
The authorities did everything possi
ble to mullltaiil oriler. Almost the en
tire police force was turned out as soon
as the demonstration assumed a threat
ening aspect, and the rioters were dis
persed again and again. Eventually,
however, the crowds becume so numer
ous and excited that the police were al
most helpless. The mob was urmcd
with sticks and cudgels und the policy
were swept aside.
An iminens,- crowd then got together
on the . lending thoroughfare, und
marched toward the residence of the
t'nlted States consul, shouting "Long
live Spain!" "Down Willi the Yunkees!"
On the way to the consul's house the
members of the mob hurled stones
through the windows of stores and pri
vate residences, overturned a number
of vehicles, pulled several mounted po
licemen from their horses, and general
ly behaved In the most riotous manner.''
Stores supposed to be American or deal
lug In American goods received the most
attention from the mob. The windows
of the consul's house were badly shut
tered, although the police defended the
building.
EXCOI'NTER WITH POLICE.
The mob then proceeded In the direc
tion of the t'nlted States consulute, evi
dently Intending to stone that building
also, but the authorities had taken the
precaution to send a strong force of
police to guard It. A detachment of po
lice was ulso stationed across the streets
leading to the consulate. When the
mob reached the vicinity of the consul
ate, it was confronted by the police
with drawn swords. The men halted,
but began pelting the police vigorously
with stones and pieces of brick. The
policemen, however, held their ground,
und u squad churged the rioters. The
hitter begun firing pistols ut the police
men, two of whom were wounded.
Then the police charged in a body, and
used their swords with good effect. The
rioters were dispersed, yelling and
hooting at the authorities and shouting
"Down with the Yankees!" and "Long
live Spain!"
The police made u number of arrests
and eucountered considerable difficulty
In escorting their prisoners to the sta
tions. During the whole afternoon
there was more or less disorder, and
after the mobs had been quieted down
and the police had been recalled, it was
decided to keep both the police proper
und the gendarmes confined to barracks
until further orders, as there seeyied
to be danger of another outbreak of
popular fury.
The I'nited States consulute Is now
guarded by a Htrong detachment of
gendarmes armed with carbines, revol
vers and swords. They have Instruc
tions to protect the consulute at any
cost.

HOLMES LEARNS HIS FATE
The Wholesale Murderer Hears His
Death Warrant.
EXECUTION TO OCCIK MAY 7
Holmes the Coolest Man the Room
While the Sheriff Head the War-rant-Saye
That He la Per.
feetly Willing to Die.
Philadelphia, March 9. -The death
warrant which Governor Hastings
signed for the execution of H. II.
Holmes on May 7 was received by Sher
iff Clement toduy from Hurrisburg.
The sheriff, accompanied by his ao
llcitors, A. S. L. Shields and Attorney
drew and Lawyer H. P. Rotan, of coun
sel for Holmes, went to the county pris
on at noou, where the warrant was
formally read to the condemned man
by Sheriff Clement. The latter declined
to allow uny reporters to accompany
the party.
The sheriff announced before going; to
prison that the witnesses at the execu
tion would not be In excess of the at
tendances at less Important hangings.
When the sheriff and his pui;ty reach
ed the prison they were met ty Deputy
Anderson und the pat ty whs conducted
to Holmes' cell, lie had been reading
und when he arose to greet his visitors
he tossed the book upon his cot and
smiled a welcome. lawyer Rotan In
troduced the sheriff and the others and
then without further ado Sheriff Clem
ent drew the death warrant from bis
pocket and proceeded to read It. The
spot in the cell where the sheriff stood
wus not adapted to reading owing to a
lack of light. Holmes observed the
sheriff's dilemma und reninrked In a
cheerful tone, "Step over to the win
dow, Mr. Sheriff; you will find more
light there."
. W'lLLIXO TO DIE.
Throughout the reading Holmes main
tained an affable manner. At the con
clusion Sheriff Clement, who was visibly
affected, turned to the condemned man,
and extending his hand, offered his
sympathy and implored hWn to make his
peace with tlod. Holmes thanked the
sheriff and expressed himself as willing
to die. There was, another round of
handshaking and the sheriff, the law
yers and the deputy left the cell. As
the sherlfr was passing out he omitted
to bow his head to clenr the upper part
of the low entrance to the cell. Holmes
observed that the oltlchil's silk wus In
danger of collision with the door, and
he called out:
"Be careful, sheriff, or you will bump
your head." This caused a ripple of
laughter.. As the sheriff was moving
down the corridor Holmes culled after
him. "You cun, of course, llnd me here
when you want me."
Aa was expected. Holmes proved to
be the coolest one In the party. As
sistant ISupeiintcnderit Richardson will
probably not remove Holmes from his
present cell for a week, but the prisoner
will be more closely guarded.
It is usual to set the regular death
watch about a week previous to the
day of execution. When that shall bo
done the condemned man will be taken
to u better lighted cell, after llrst being
submitted to a change of clothlnc to
prevent his having In his possession
uuything that would permit suicide.

tion with Holmes after the warrant had
been read, the subject of which Mr. Ro
tan refused to make known.
