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

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

bo tho first opportunity that had been of
fered to make nn oxumplo of those on

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.

meut has been asked to approve tho sen
tences of death Bussed by u court martial
upon the men cnpturuU on boaKl tho Com
petitor on a charguof piracy mid rebellion.
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.

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,

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.
