SUMMARY EXECUTION NOT FEARED While General Weyler Thirsts for the Blood of the Competitor's Men, It is Not Likely That the Spanish Government Will Consent to Their Execution. Madrid, May 11. Thero tiro evidences of growing popular oxcltement In Spain ovor tho attltudo of tho United States gov ernment towards the quostlon of tho 1111 Utistors captured on hoard tha Competitor. Tho riots and outbreaks of popular hatrod tovfnrds the United States at tho time of tho passage through congress of the reso lutions favoring tUo recognition of tho Cubans as belllgorouts havo not beon for potton, and tho sentiments which caused thorn aro but smoldering. Tho Spanish govornment has on all pos siblo occasions ozprossed its appreciation of and satisfaction with tho ollorts mado by tho United States government to pro- vont as far as lay In Its powor tho giving of unlawful aid to tho Cuban lnsurgonts by citizens of tho United States. But tho wldosprcad sympathy folt for tho insur gents In tho United States Is well rooog- nized by tho Spanish pcoplo, and tho nows of expeditions from tho United States landed from tlmo to tlmo in Cuba creatos lntonso irritation. Tho nows of tho capturo of tho men on tho Competitor was received with great CONSUL GKXEUAL P.AMON O. WILLIAMS. satisfaction and rcjololng. It was folt to bo tho first opportunity that had been of fered to make nn oxumplo of those on gaged In feeding tho lusurrectlon. Tho popular uemunu for tuolroxocutlon Is gen eral, and It Is likely to bocomo vociferous, Little account Is taken of tho refined quos tlons of treaty Interpretation lnvolvod In tho protest of tho United Statos govern ment against tho oxecutlon of tho sen tenced. The action of tho United Statos is regardod rather as an oxprosslon of sym pathy with tho Insurrection, and thoro will bo n strong popular clamor to disre gard it. Tho publio feeling on the subject Is fos tered by tho tenor of tho advices reeelvod from Havana, Dispatches from thoro af firm that Captain Gonoral Woylor Is Irritated at tho attltudo of tho United States on tho question of sontonccs. It Is asserted that If tho Spanish government adopts a contrary vlow owing to tho rep resentations mado by tho United Statos govornment, Captain Gonoral Woylor will resign his post. Allegations aro made In thoso Havana dUpatchos of vory extraordinary conduot on tho part of air. llamon U. Williams, tho United States consul gonoral, If theso aro not true thoy aro novortuoloss cortulu to add fuel to tho flro of popular Indigna tion In Spain. Mr. "Williams' attltudo, It Is asserted, 13 tho subject of gonoral cen sure In Havana, and U said to bo verj pro- voeatlvo. Tho story goes on to rolnto that tho United Stntos consul general shows himself ovorywhore 111 publio places In Havana, using irritating and menacing lnnguago regarding tho probablo action of tho United Statos towards tho authorities in case tho sentences upon tho Competitor captives nro oxoouteu. Tho Epoca (tho government lorgun) In guordod langungo rocommonds prudence and doprecatos demonstrations. It clearly Intimates that tho government will inako another effort to conclliato President Cleveland by ordering General Woylor to sond all tho papors boarlng on tho case horo, for tho supreme court to pronounce upon. Tho oxecutlon of tho soutences would thus bo virtually sholvod. Tho rest of tho Madrid pross aro unani mous In the opinion that Amorlca lias taken an ungenerous and unjustlUablo nd vantnge of Spain's difficulties. Tho Horoldo compares tho offensive con duct of tho United States consul goneral at Havana with tnntot tho llrltlsh consul, who mado friendly representations In fa vor of pardoning tho prisoners. Publio opinion, says Tho Horaldo, vehemently opposos American Intorforouco. Tnls pa per maintains that tho robots in Cuba are constantly receiving nsslstuuco from Amorlca, without which tho rebellion would havo been suppressed long ago. A dispatch from Havana this morning confirms tho report that Captain General Weyler has threatened to resign his post unloss the sentences aro executed, Several pupers publish tho report that bosldos Gon eral Weyler Gouornls Ochundo and Ahu mada, who hold Important comniunds In Cuba, havo also threatened to resign If tho Judgment of the court martial is quashed. ureat muiguation is expressed both by the publio and the press over the landing of tho latest Bermuda expedition, which has boon announced lu a highly sensa tional manner uy tho nowspapors hero.

Tho men sentenced aro; Alfredo Ijaborde, said to bo tho loader of tho party, and claiming American citizenship; Dr. Kilns Bcdla, also claiming American citizen ship i William Glldea, said to bo a British subject; John Milton, a native of Kansas; Teodora Mata. This places tho fatb of tho men In tha hands of tho authorities at Madrid, and Insures that thoy will not bo oxcouted without an order from tho Span ish government. It has beeomo known that tho British consul lias also Intervened lu tho name of his government on behalf of tho Competi tor's captives sentenced to death. Ho in vokes olemeney for tho prisoners. This action of the British government hi 111 o caso has coused a sensation horo. It would bo difficult to say from any admissions made in official quarters what effect this now development will havo lu tho caso. Thoro is a marked absence of Irritability manifested In tho comments on tho sub ject, and tho action of tho British official scorns to havo beon taken In vory good part. It Is pointed out that tho Interven tion of tho British consul is couched In very different form from that of tho Un ited States consul goneral, and Is, In fact, expressed In very friendly tonus, Invok ing tho clomcncy of tho Cuban authorities. The question of tho oxecutlon of tho captives of tho Competitor Is recognized to bo ono of tho most Important which lias occurred since tho insurrection broko out. Now that tho question has boon referred to tho government at Madrid tho situation horo has quieted down, though thoro Is no cessation of Interest mid discussion of tho question. Tho attltudo of tho publio Is rather ono of waiting on tho resolution ol tho Madrid govornmont. Tho waiting is attended by much impatience and no llt tlo anxiety. At a meeting of Consorvntlvo senators and deputies on Saturday ovcnlugtho pre inlor, Senor Canovas Del Castillo, de clared that It would bo Imposslblo to In troduce reforms for Cuba beforo tho situa tion becamo normal again. Ho admitted that the Spanish arms nlono would fall to termlnato tho war. but ho said ho believed that tho discouragement of tho lnsurgonts and tho prevalence of racial hatred among them would contrlbuto largely to the ces sation of hostilities.

NO ANXII2TY IN WASHINGTON, Confldenco Thnt Lonlency Will lie Shown tlio Competitor Filibusters. Washington, May 11. If any official nows was received by tho government In Washington yosterday regarding tho case of tho Americans captured aboard tho Competitor by tho Spaniards, and con demned by court martial to bo shot, dili gent inquiry falls to dlscloso its nature. Secretary Olnoy, to whom n noto was ad dressed on tho subject, replied that there was nothing now to mako publio. Inquiry In congressional clrclos among thoso di rectly interested in tho caso of ono of tho men Milton shows that no additional facts havo boon received by thorn. Senator i'asco, ol Ilorlda, who has taken especial Interest In tho casos, believes thnt tho Spanish government will not bo Inclined towards hasty action, as In tho present stato of publio feeling any summary do olsiou by It may lead to serious conse quences. Tho fact that the Havana officials have referred the oxecutlon of sontonco to Ma drid Is a source of gratification to thoso In torested In tho prisoners' fato, and Inspires tho belief that soma leniency inay bo shown, it is not improbable that an ef fort may bo mado in congress during tho coming weok, by resolution, to acquaint tho publio with tho facts In tho caso by calling on tno president for Information, and requesting lilm to tnko such steps us will givo tuo couuemnou men n civil trial. Spain lletween Two Fires. London, May 11. Tho Dally Nows says in an editorial, regarding tho cases ot tho Competitor captives at Havana: "Tho se rious news from Cuba places tho Spanish govorninont between two flros. It is dif ficult to boo how eithor sldo can rocodo. If tho Spanish govornment saerlfices Gonoral Woylor It will probably have to bo pre pared to saerlflco ltsownllfo, Publloopln lon In Madrid is hardly well Informed enough to profit by tho Vlrglnlus caso, in 1873.

Anthoi.y Beanc Sustains a Fracture of the Skull. HIS LIFE IS DESPAIRED OF Fell Down a Stairway In the Beddall Build ing Late Saturday Night Came to Town to Visit His Mother--At Ue Miners' Hospital. , Anthony Beano, formerly of this town and now a resident of llolyokc, Mass., IIos in the Minors' hospital at Fountain Springs tillering from injuries sustained by a fall that will in all probability result in his death. lleano Is about 33 years of ago and has a wife at Holyoke, but no children. His mother, Mrs. Anthony Seanlan, resides on North White stiect, aud it was to visit her that ho eiimo to town last Thursday, He spent several hours Saturday night in going from placo to place' seeking and greeting old friends and drank con siderably. At about cTevcn o'clock ho went to tho Holdall building, nt tho comer of Malu and Centre streets, and attempted to ascend tho stairway in tho building leading from tho latter street, but succeeded only in going up four steps when ho staggered back wards and fell heavily at tho foot of the stairway. Several pedestrians heard tho nolso of tho fall and hurried to the place, followed by Chief ,of I'olico Tosh, lleano never stirred after ho fell, lie was rendered unconscious and blood streamed from his eyes, noso, mouth and left ear. Dr, Hamil ton bald at least a pint of blood llo,wcd from tho car, As soon as tho Victim could bo identified and arrangements mado for tho removal ho was removed to tho homo of his mother. Thero l)rs. G. M. Hamilton and .1. 1'ierco ltoberts were called in attendance. After an examination they said lleano had sustained a fracture at the base of the skull and his con dition was very ciitical. Indeed they held out no hope fur recovery. lieano remained unconscious all of yesterday, with tho ex ception of a few moments at about 3 o'clock in tho morning, when he muttered a few words that were not intelligible. Yesterday afternoon tho victim was removed to the hospital, It was reported in town to-day that Beano had died, but a message from tho hospital to the HKitALD this afternoon stated that tho report was incorrect and that tho condition of tho man was tho samo as it was when ho arrived at tho hospital. Tho National Club is desirous in having Itself properly represented In tho matter, lleano left this town about seven years ago and nt that time was the steward uf the organization, but ho; . .lias not been a member for several f irs. The club room is in tho ddall building and it is quite probablo th lleano js on his way to it i')icn he met with tho at'inTOM, but nono of tho members were with linli;. nor had ho been in tho club room. Tho plaeu was closed lit tho time. The club also states that none of tho young men who summoned l!ev. H. F. O'lteilly, pastor of the Annuncia tion church, to attend tho victim were mem bers of tho club. These statements aro mado in view of tho fact that yesterday lie v. O'lteilly spoko of tho caso frum the pulpit and tho club does not want to bo coupled with the caso in any way. QUO WARRANTO SUSTAINED. DecUlon in tho Justices Cusu Was Hen- dered Tills Morning. Special to ICvEJtixo Heiialu. IlAltuiRnuito, May 11. Tho Dauphin county court this morning handed down a decision sustaining tho writ of quo warranto issued at tho instanco of certain Justices of tho l'eace, of Shenandoah and Mahanoy City, against certain other Justices of tho samo borough, Tho practical effect of this decision is that Justices Toomey, Dengler, Williams, llier stcin and Walker, of this town, are declared to ho no longer Justices of tho l'eaco. although tho actual ouster will not take effect in tho caso of thoso whoso commissions havo not expired until a ' writ of ousters Is Issued by tho coiut. Tho issuanco of that writ pending appeal Is discretionary w'itl the court and depends upon the necessity for it. A. W. Schalck, Bsq ono of tho counsel for tho old justucs, to-day stated that.ho would take steps to at onco carry tho caso to tho Supremo Court, which will coiivcno on Juno 1st. 1 ho question has nover been tested in this court, although tup con it of Dauphin county has twice before decided in accord ance with tho decision of to-day. Naturally Justices Lawlor and Cardln, of town, and C oyle and Jones, of Mahanoy City, are very much elated over tho decision which declares them to ho tho only legal Justices in their respective boroughs.
