SENTIMENT STRONG AGAINST IT Americans Fear Trouble in Cuba—Gen- Weyler May Be Sent Home Under Arrest--Other News. New York, Oct 28.—A special to The Herald from Havana, via Key West, ■ays: The outgoing authorities have •truck a heavy blow at autonomy by permitting (to use an unprejudiced word) the killing of General Castillo. General Castillo was not killed in open fight; he was betrayed by a Cuban guide, and was captured by the Span iards on last Friday and shot on Mon day morning. It was more satisfactory to shoot him than to treat him, as a pri loner of war. Castillo commanded Havana province and was beloved as an able and brave g moral by every Cuban under arms. is killing will arouse a desire for re venge that at the present juncture will tend to prevent acceptance of any au tonomy by the rebels. With an escort of seven men Castillo waa lying ill with fever in a secluded •pot, when the guide betrayed him. The condition of his body ha* aroused in dignation, even among General Wey ler’s officers.

UnlC.d States In Ha vana Look Fur Trouble. New York, Oct. 28.—A dispatch to The Herald from Havana says: Gen eral Weyler has 'been ordered by his government in Madrid to remain in Havana until General Blanco arrives. This may mean that Weyler is to be ■ent home under arrest for refusing to obey the order to give command to General Castellanos. General Weyler wanted to sail two days before General Blanoo could reach Havana. General Weyler is using every means to win sympathy here. On the way he employs the power he has concentrated, depends to a very considerable extent the stability of Spain in Cuba. If he chooses to resist General Blanco’s au thority, the latter will need a strong force behind him before he can land in Havana. That the Spanish government antici pates a disturbance is evideneed by the fact that they have telegraphed to Gen eral Weyler to disband the volunteer force. The captain general called to the palaces the colonels of the volunteers and read to them a telegram from Min ister of the Colonies Moret, stating that the services of the volunteers would no longer be required, and that they were to be disarmed. After an excited con sultation the colonels agreed to send a cable dispatch to Senor Moret. express ing their indignation, and stating that they would not be resposible for the ac tions of the men if the news was con veyed to them. If trouble does occur here it will not be a matter of a day; it will be a matter of only two or three hours. Next to a warship, Americans here would like tc see Consul General Lae.

PARDONED BY PRESIDENT. Lewin Redwine, the Bank Wrecker, Is Given Hia Libert?. Atlanta, Oct. 28.—Lewis Redwine has been pardoned out of the Ohio pen itentiary by President McKinley. The pardon was granted at the urgent re quest of Senator Bacon, the persistent effort of Redwine’s counsel, Colonel N. J. Hammond, and after several of the most prominent jndicials of the south had attached their indorsement to the petition. Among those who signed the paper is Judge Pardee, who presided over the famous trial which resulted in the conviction of Redwine. Lewis Redwine was arrested in At lanta four years ago charged with wrecking the Gate City bank, of which he was the assistant cashier. Thou sands of dollars passed daily through his hands, but no error in his books was detected until the day of his flight. For days the city was searched by detec tives, and all hope of his arrest had about been abandoned when he was ac cidentally discovered in a house on Mc- Daniel street. His trial and the startling rumors that swept through the city caused in tense excitement, and it was reported and claimed by Redwine’s friends that others were implicated, and that he was being made the scapegoat. After a most sensational trial, in which the bank was represented by Captain Harry Jackson, Redwine was convicted and was given a sentence of six years in the United States peniten tiary in Columbus. He has served only about four years, but the allowance for good behavior would have caused his term to have expired on Nov. 4, but for the pardon. COLUMBUS LADY CHOSEN. Mlm Jewett Succeeds Mrs. Longstreet as the Aiisiataut State Librarian. Atlanta, Oct 28. Mrs. General Longstreet has resigned as assistant state librarian. Her successor in that position is Miss Jewett of Columbus. The resignation is a surprise to Mrs. Longstreet’s former opponents, as well as her friends. Many of the latter did not think that she would continue in the race for the first place, now that she has been married, but nobody had any intimation of a purpose to resign that which she has held. This resignation means, of course, that she ts no longer to be considered as in the list of candi dates for the office of state librarian Miss Jewett, who has been appointed for the unexpired term, is an applicant for the position of assistant librarian for the full term, and her friends are very confident that she will be ap pointed by the next state librarian, to whom this power will be delegated by the governor. Miss Jewett has resigned an excellent position in the state educational depart ment to accept the position of assistant librarian. Os the numerous applicants for this position, none better prepared or fitted for its duties could have been selected than Miss Jewett. Her careful and efficient discharge of the duties of her position in the educational depart ment demonstrates her capacity to assist in the conduct of a department of state. John Quillian Returns.

HUNDREDS HEARDffIM Harrison Speaks in New York MAYOR OF CHICAGO He Was Accompanied By 300 Members Os Cook County Democratic Club. THE MAYOR SUPPORTED TAMMANY “Ginger” For Ca/npaign Being Furnished By George- SENSATIONAL CHARGES ON CROKER Stated That Judge Roger Pryor Paid Him □BIS,OOO—Van Wyck Has Only Spoken Thirty Words. New York, bet. 28.—Henry George zs supplying the greater part of the “ginger” that is being consumed in the municipal campaign. His allegations touching the integrity of the recognized chiefs of both the leading parties are exciting wide interest, though they are met by those most directly concerned with a showing of indifference. The most specific of Mr. George’s alle gations are that Roger A. Pryor paid Richard Oroker $15,000 for a judge ship he now holds; that $22,000 was paid for a seat upon the bench for Judgs Ingraham, and that other judi cial officials were made the object of barter by the socalled political bosses. Judge Pryor has made categorical de nial that he paid or caused to be paid, directly or indirectly, any sum what soever for the nomination, aud like de nial has been made by others of the judges involved in George’s allegations. If George is doing a great deal of talking, so are Tracy and Low, though the latter are less sensational and per sonal in their utterances. The only ex ception to the rule of volubility among mayoralty candidates is Van Wyck, whose "star” speech, delivered before the Independence Hall Democracy, was limited to 30 words of commonplace acknowledgment of a hearty greeting. In the event of the defeat of Seth Low, it will not be possible, in the light of the statement given out by the Citi zens’ union treasurer, J. Kennedy Tod, to allege that the failure of the nonpar tisan movement was the result of inad equate financial support. Mr. Tod says that the union has been supplied with funds beyond its actual needs, and rumor has it that the total of contribu tions to the cause is about $1,000,000. Tammany’s supreme effort in the way of massmeetings was made Thursday night It brought out home and im ported speakers, among the latter being 8. B. Eustis of Louisiana, formerly United States senator, and later United States ambassador to France, and Car ter Harrison, the young mayor of Chi cago. The latter, who came with a band and 25 members of tne Cook county Democratic Marching club, was the object of greater interest, though he only spoke for half an hour, while Mr. Eustis talked twice as long. SPAIN IS HO’PEFUL STILL. She Expects to Be Successful In Carrying Out Autonomy Scheme. New York, Oct. 28.—A special to The Herald from Madrid says: In spite of all the sensational reports to the con trary, the relations between the Span ish government and the United States continue to be quite friendly. There does not appear to be the slightest foun dation for the statement that Secretary Sherman cabled Minister Woodford re scinding his previous instructions to al low the Sagasta cabinet more time to reply to the note. Your correspondent finds that the minister is confident that one danger ous corner has been turned. They are anxious for America’s friendly support and hopeful of success for their scheme of autonomy.
