GREAT INDIGNATION FELT THERE
Spanish .Merchants Reluctant to lte
ccive Him Bui'kUcni'rnl Howard's
View of the Situntiou-Tlie Spituish
Commander Evidently I'nnble to
Copo With the Enemy
Key West, Kin., Nov. 19. Passengers
by the last steamer from Havana suy a
report was current there that Captain
General Weyler will return at once to
the city. The Spanish merchants and
others on .Muralla street are very in
dignant over the report.
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 1. In an Inter
view this morning anent the rumor
that General Weyler hud resigned from
the command of the Spanish forces In
Cuba. General O. O. Howard, ex-com-mandlng
general of the United States
army, said:
"As I see It, General Weyler was a
beaten mmi, and it was time for him to
resign.
"His troops were whipped and his
strategic resources were ut an end
when he went back to Havana. The
Individual rear movement of General
Weyler showed the Inability of the
Spanish army to dislodge the Insurg
ents. If he could have whipped them
he would have stayed and whipped
them.
. "My view of the Cuban war Is sim
ply this: It is a question of finance,
not of fighting. Spain is big enough
to crush out every cane bush, as well
as every insurgent in Cuba, if she can
raise the money to pay and provision
the troops required. But Spain has a
mighty big job on her hands. It has
already been clearly proved that tne
Cubans are greater fighters, greater
stratagetists and a great people.
Whether Spain can raise enough money
to pay enough men is something about
which the world Is guessing."
General Howard thinks the Cuban
war has developed nothing new In
military tactics. He declined to ex
press an opinion as to whether the
United States should interfere on be
half of the Cuban Insurgents.
Madrid, Nov. 1!). A dispatch to the
Impurclal from Havana says that Cap
tain General Weyler has reached the
town of Sun Cristobal, about fourteen
leagues northeast of the city of Flnar
Del Kio and about midway between
that city and Havana.
Maceo's headquarters Is said to be In
the hills between Sun Cristobal and
Cayabos.
Havana, Nov. 19. A train conveying
troops was wrecked today near Man
gas by the explosion of a dynamite
bomb, which had been placed In posi
tion by rebels. Fourteen persons were
wounded. It Is said here that tne
rebels thought that General Weyler
was on the train.
AT THE CUBAN JUNTA.
New York, Nov. 19. Secretary De
Quesada, of the Cuban Junta, stated
today that he had Just received most
favorable news of the situation in Cu
ba. "I have Just heard by mail." said Mr.
be Quesada. "from General Carrlllo, In
charge of the province of Las Villas.
He Informs me that he has Just met
General Sanchez, who was coming from
the eastern department with reinforce
ments, and that the situation presents
a most cheerful aspect in that section,
which embraces the larger half of the
eastern end of Cuba. 1 have also re
ceived letters from the eastern depart
ment from Civil Governor Cespedes
which are also very encouraging. He
Is establishing puldle schools through
out the Interior. The fact that we have
already established civil government in
the eastern half of the Island, which is
entirely in our hands, and that schools
have alreudy been Instituted, open to
the less Intelligent, proves that our
position In those provinces Is certainly
a most strong one. Although nothing
of Importance has reached me yet in
relation to the military operations of
the Cuban leaders, I have received word
that the Cuban forces are graduully
advancing; westward.

SALE OF JOHN rTgENTRV.
The Famous Horse Is Sold to Lewis
Tewksbury for $19,900 A Sen
sational Auction.
New York. Nov. 19. Before the larg
est crowd ever seen at a horse sale In
this country, and after a most sensa
tional auction, John K. Gentry, the
champion hurness horse of the world),
passed Into the hands of Lewis j.
Tewkesbury, of this city, for $19,900 at
Madison Square Garden tonight. It
was 8.:t0 o'clock when the band which
was stationed over the main entrance
of the gurdin struck up "Hall to the
Chief," and Gentry wan with difficulty
brought through the crowd to the front
of the auctioneer's stand. The whole
section of the west side of the garden,
boxes and reserved seats, were as full
as they could hold, while Inside the
ring and on the miniature track the
throng of people were pushing and fall
ing over each other In their efforts to
get a good glimpse of the pacing king;.
Thirty-five hundred was a low esti
mate of the number present.
When the horse was fairly In front
Of Auctioneer Ban, of Lexington, Ky..
who sold him here last Februury, when
Willlum Simpson was the purchaser
at $7,600, the band ceased playing. It
was not. however, until the assistance
of the police was called that space was
made barely sufficient to allow the
horse to move around. A cheer went
up from the crowd, and in a few well
chosen words the auctioneer called lor
bids for the champion harness horse of
the world, who had paced the fastest
three heats ever accomplished, 2.03.
2.03V4. 2.03V. had lowered the harness
record to 2.01 , and to crown his glory
and indelibly stamp himseir lout ana
king of the turf, had covered a mile
against time In 2.00',i. a second faster
than any other horse ever accomplished
the distance In hurness.
Bids came in with such rapidity that
the auctioneer could scarcely keep traf k
of them. Four, six. eight, ten ami
eleven thousand dollars were offered
from different parts of the house with
scarcely breathing time between. But
the real battle of bids was to come
when the struggle narrowed down to
two, Louis W. Wormser and Lewis (5.
Tewkesbury, both of New York. Mr.
Wormser came Into the battle at $12.
000, his bid being delivered In a loud,
dear voice, and the crowd applnuded.
Promptly Mr. Tewkesbury went $.100
better. Thus the battle waged be
tween the two with scarcely a moments
hesitation up to JIG.f.UO, which was
Tewkesbury's bid. Then there was a
pause, followed by a round of hand
clapping from the audience who were
by this time worked up Into a state of
excited admiration. The applause
greeted Wornisers jump to $18,000.
Scarcely had It died away when the
other came back at him with his rise of
$jU0. There was another short pause
and Wormser shouted $19,500. No re
ply followed for a moment and then
tension could be felt. "What is bid,"
asked Mr. Tewkesbury.
"19,.r.00." WUS the reply.
Then I raise It $400. The auctioneer
turned to Mr. Wormser expectantly.
There was no reply and on the "three"
the auctioneer's tavel fell. The gal
lant son of Ashland Wilkes and Dame
Wood, who stood, like the thoroughbred
he is, the pressure of the crowd and the
strains of the bund, became the prop
erty of the owner of Robert J., the only
horse that hud shown himself a dan
gerous rival to the king, who will in
future be his comrade.
With Gentry, Robert J., (2.01 1-2) and
Mascot (2.04), Mr. Tewkesbury lias a
stable of phenomenal greatness.
The rest of the horses sold today
brought fairly good prices.

REV. JESSE DUNN'S PREDICAMENT.
Allegiance to His Party or Loss of n
Pulpit Confronts Him.
Llgonler, Ind., Nov. 19. A peculiar
condition of aflairs exists In Clinton
township, Elkhnrt county, where Jesse
Dunn, an accredited clergyman, is the
township trustee. Clinton township Is
strongly Democratic, and In all the his
tory of the township none but Demo
crats have been elected to office.
Mr. Dunn recently received a pastor
al call from Pennsylvania, but when It
was made known that its acceptance
would necessitate his resignation as
trustee, murmurlngs of discontent
arose, (or the vacancy would be flllod
by the county commissioners, and the
appointee would be a Republican.
The Democrats of Clinton do not
want to break a record by having a
Republican otllcial. Mr. Dunn will
either have to resign a pastoral call
with a good salary attached and pre
serve the Democracy of Clinton town
ship, or accept the call and break the
established precedent.
SETTLED ONE QUESTION.
Proceedings of the tiuight of Labor
Convcutiou.
Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 19. The dele
gates to the general assembly of the
Knights of Labor settled one important
question this morning. The question
was that of dual membership, and was
discussed all the morning. While It
does not affect all trades. It affects that
of the brewery workingmen, the mem
bers of which generally belong to both
the Knights of Labor and the American
Federation of Labor.
A year ago the American Federation
decided that their members could not
belong to other labor organizations,
nnd today the Knights followed suit,
so far as the brewers were concerned,
and decided that they must withdraw
from either one or the other. The
question whether the generul assem
bly shall simply endorse free silver, or
Insert a free silver plank, In the pre
amble of the order, was discussed again
this afternoon.
At the conclusion of the debate the
Knights voted not to put the free coin
age of silver plank Into their preamble,
but adopted the plank as a principle.
The idea of putting the plank Into the
preamble originated with General Mas
ter Workman J. R. Sovereign, but the
Knights thought that by its being put
into the preamble it would debar from
the organization all who were not free
sllverites. The discussion occupied a
greater part of two days.
CRONIN TRIES TO ESCAPE.
The Desperate Prisoner Leaps from a
Flying TrainWarden McCrea
Is Killed Outright.
Pittsburg. Nov. 19. Patrick Cronln.
aged 29, now a prisoner In the Western
Penitentiary, made a desperate effort
this morning while enroute from Erie
to Pittsburg to escape from a fast
moving train. His unsuccessful attempt
cost the life of Thomas McCrea, war
den of the Erie county jail.
At 7 o'clock this morning Warden
McCrea and Deputy Sheriff J. F. Giebel
left Kt'le on the Cleveland branch of
the Pittsburg and Lake Erie railway,
w ith sixteen men and one woman, pris
oners, who had been sentenced to serve
terms In the Western Penitentiary in
Allegheny City. Among the prisoners
was Patrick Cronln. sentenced to serve
live yenrs for train robberies. The
prisoners were nervous and excited al
most from the start, causing much anx
iety to the otticers In charge. All pos
sible precautions had been taken. Cron
ln wus handcuffed to a convict named
Shuhart. The latter was noticed to be
especially restless and once or twice
made movements as if jumping from
the car window. He was quited, how
ever, when Deputy Giebel presented his
revolver and threatened to shoot him.
Cronln had, however, been hard at
work and had, unnoticed, slipped his
handcuff.
When about 11 miles out of Pittsburg,
quicker than a Hash, he leaped from the
car door, landing In a heap on the
tracks. Warden McCrea leaped from
the car after him and grappled with
him. The train was quickly stopped
and Deputy Giebel went to the assist
ance of Warden McCrea. The latter
was found unconscious from numerous
bruises and cuts and Cronln also seri
ously hurt. They were curried to the
train and brought to Allegheny. At
the depot an ambulance from the gen
eral hospital was In waiting to convey
Warden McCrea to that institution, but
he died before the hospital was reach
ed. A patrol wagon conveyed Cronln
to the Western penitentiary, where he
now lies In the hospital department,
perhaps fatally Injured.
No further trouble was experienced
with the other prisoners after the ex
citing escape from the train. Warden
McCrea wus married and has a lurge
family residing in Erie.

BOOM FOR JOHN RUSSELL YOUNG
Statement That Joseph 1. Smith Is
to He Mndc .Marshal of the District
of Columbia Has Sot Been Verified,
tiossip Concerning Other Appoint
ments to lie Made.
Canton, O., Nov. 19. There were no
callers of political Importance at the
McKlnley residence today, though the
report that General Horace Porter, of
New York, was In Cleveland, and ex
pected to spend the night here, set
tongues wagging. General Porter did
not come, however, but will visit Can
ton a few days later on his return from
St. Louis. He Is talked of In connec
tion with the position of secretary of
war. Colonel Fred Grant and General
K. E. Alger, of Michigan, are the other
names still most prominently mentioned
In that connection.
The cabinet makers are suggesting
John Kussell Young, of Philadelphia,
for secretary of the navy, and rumors
come from Chicago that Lyman Gage,
president of the First National bank
of that city, may be urged for secre
tary of the treasury.
The statement that Joseph P. Smith
Is to be appointed marshal of the Dis
trict of Columbia has not been verified.
Mr. Smith is one of Major McKlnley's
etlkient and loyal adherents and his
selection for this or an equally good
place would be no surprise. The office
of marshal of the District of Columbia
Is worth about $tr,ou0 a year and has
held by such men as Ward Lamon,
Fred Dougluss, Captain Henry Clay
ton, McMichael and Alfred Wilson, the
present Incumbent. The marshal is the
executive otllcer of the district courts
