WEYLER'S MERCILESS WAR. |
HORRIBLE MASSACRE OF AN EN
TIRE FAMILY, \
A Holocaust of Children. Spanish Sol- |
diers Shut Them in a House 1
and Then Fire It, Other 1
: Cruelties,
Well authenticated stories of barbar
ous acts by the Spanish troops continue
to reach the United States, Recently
the Havana papers published an accourt
of an alleged battle near Churcho de
Arce, in which, after an hoar's desper
ate fighting, the Spanish drove the reb
els, Kkilling nineteen and taking many
prisoners. The papers suggested that
‘the governm nt should rewaré Colonel
Agui'era, the 3panish commander, for
his bravery.
The facts in regard to the ‘“battle”
are as follows:
On Septe.mnber ISth ten rebels went fo
attack a guerrilla band that had started
from Vegas to the field, When the reb
els, in ambush, were ready t» a‘tack
they noticed a strong body of soldiers
coming toward them., Hidden in high
grass, the rebels let the soldiers come
close and then fired a yolley, Kkilling
two cfficers and wounding three sol
diers.
The troops fired back a volley into the
grass, hitting nobody, as the enemy
could not be seen. Lieutenant Aguilera,
who commanded the troops, and came
from Lis headquarters, Nueva-Paz,
went, after this action, toward a colony
near Pablo Diaz,
' WOMEN AND CHILDREN MASSACRED.
There he found a family composed of
Itwenty-five persons, men, women and
cbildren; he asked if they had seen any
rebels in the neighborhood. On receiv
ing a negative answer he ordered a gen
eral slaughter of everybody, including
children from one to ten years old.
’ A young man begged to be killed in
stead of his mother, who was in a deli
cate condition, but he was killed with a
machete in her presence. A bayonet
} was then thrust thiough the body of the
'mother., '
Tie litile children were first pivched
with the end of the bayonet, then finish
ed with the machete. Of the twenty
five human beings present in (hat colony
nineteen were butchered and six made
their escape, hiding themselves in the
cane, where they remained until late at
night, when they could come out safe,
Besides truthful witaesses, the men of
the guerrilla boasted of what they had
commiited when they went back to Ve
gas, about two miles from the colony.
Oo the 18th of September, three days
after the slaughter, a traveler passed by
the spot of the murder and was horrified
at the number of carrion crows deyour
ing the bodies. None bad been buried.
HOLOCAUST (F CUBAN CHILDREN.
On Scptember 18th Colonel Aguilera
started with his troops and the guerrilla
from Nueva Paz toward the sugar estate,
Cuervo. Near a place called Cuzco, he
saw a house, went to it and found only
two children in it. .
He asked were their parents were;
they-answered they had gone after some
fuel to prepare their breakfast and
would soon return.
The colonel ordered the three cuildren,
ten to fourteen years cld, to be locked
up in the house, and after this was done
‘he ordered the guerrilla to set fire to the
‘house. The guerrilla, horrified, disobey®
Eed at first, but under the threats of
Aguilera they acted, and the house was
burned down with the childien tn it,
j TOTTERING OLD AGE NOT SPAKED.
After that house was burned Aguilera
went on, and on his way mlet an old man
seventy years old, carrying vegetables,
who was accompanied by two negroes,
He was asked where he was going; he
answered he was taking the vegetables
| home to Nue.v:\-Pnz. The colonel order
ed him to be killed with the machete,
and the negroes also.
The body of the old man was thrown
into a well near by, where he was found
two days afterwards, traced by his hat
‘that was found neav the well. The bod
ies of the two nagroes weie chopped to
pieces and thrown into a cave, where
they were found.

ONE MAN TO SAVE THE COUNTRY.
Quitmanr Has at Least One Soldier., Everye
body Else for Brvan and Griggs,
From the Eufaula Times,
Mr. W. A, 4ill, of Quitman county,
was in town yesterday. He told this re
porter that he knew of enly one s und
money man in Quitman county who had
expressed himself as willing to vote
against Bryan and Sewall and Jim
‘Griggs, the nominees of the party. He
said he thought he knew the views cf all
‘the prominent democrats in the county,
\and there was only one sound wmoney
man whora he named, in the whole coun
ty, why was willing to say that he would
refuse to vote the democratic ticket or
would scrateh apy part of it. There are
some mighty good people over in Qait
man and itis nonsense t» allude to them
as;‘repudiators.” The fact is, they are
just as good as the people anywhere.
Then it appears that the consciences of
the people of Barbour,are much more
acute‘than ths people over the way.
RYAN WHIPPED GOBER.
Uszd a Riding Whip to ¢ hastise the
Judge. His Face Badly Bruised.
A sensational recontre occurred at the
union depot in Atlenta when Judge Ge-,
F. Gober, one ot the most prominent
judges in Georgia, was assaulted by
Stephen A. Ryan, formerly the leading
dry goods merchant of that ecity. Mr.
Ryan used a riding whip, in the handle
of which was a small piece of iron,
Judge Gober was in the act of boarding
a train for his home in Marietta. He
says that he was struck from behind.
Ryan says that he touched the judge on
the shoulder first to attract his attention
and then struck him when he turned
around, Judge Gober defended himself
with an umbrella, and the two men
fought for a minute in the strect, where
the judge was standing as the train was
passing. Ryan Inflited three severe
blows on the judge's face and head.
Five years ago Judge Gober sent Ryan
to jail for contempt of court in failing
to turn over to a receiver $lOO,OOO which
the court thought he had withheld from
his assets, Ryan remained in jail for
thirteen months. Mr. Ryan said that
the attack was not made because of the
judze's official action, but because Le
was informaod that Judge Gober had re
ferred to him as a —— scoundrel in a
conversation.
Judze Gober is an influential politi
cfan, and has a great many devoted
friends and many bitter*enemies. His
friends intimate that they will avenge
the attack. 2

Our Genial Judge.
The Quitmsn county correspondent of
the Cuthbert Leader has this to say of
the genial judge of the Pataula circuit:
“That was an able charge given to the
grand jury of this county last week by
Judge Sheffield. There is not a better
judge in Georgia than Henry Sheflield
and we are satisfied that we speak the
sentiments,of the people of the Pataula
circuit when we say he should be re
elected.

WRITES HIMSELF OUT.
THE SECOND DISTRICT’S FORMER‘
REPRESENTATIVE A BOLTER. {
Hon, H, @, Turner Says in a Lottori
That He Is in Sympathy With |
the Movement Led by Pal- |
mer and Buckner,
Hon. H. G, Turner has written him
self out of politics, if, indeed, not out of
the democratic pa.ty. In aletter to thel
Waycross Pilmer aud Buckner eclub
he had the folllowing expression of bhis
vizws:
QUITMAN, GA., Sept. 18.—E. H. My
ers, Exq , Waycross, Ga. My Dear Sir:
I begz to acknowledge your letter of
Sept. 16, in which you inform me that
the Palmer and Buckner Club of Way
cross will hold a meeting this evening,
and in very kind terms you invite me to
be present and to discuss the ‘time hon
ored principles of democracy.’
“I desire to say without hesitation
that if thore seemed to be the remotest
possibility of the election of the gentle
men whose names your club bears, on
the platiorm of principles which they
represent, there is no reasonable sacrifice
I would not make to promote that end.
But taking things as they are, besides
other considerations, I deem it wisest
forme to devote this presidential year to
the full restoration of my health, and the
preparation of my affairs fors nch tasks
as my hands may hereafter fivd to do.
“Before I close this letter I ought to
confess that I have patiently watchod
during the past few months for some
thing to turn up “winch might afford
some hope for conservative treatment of
our financial problems by those who now
control the party—some toleration for
those with whom we agree in opinion on
these subjects, and some ground on
which we could vote for the Chicago
nominees without conscivusness of
shame. 7
‘*Mavy of us believe in s.und money
—so called. 14 means unlimited coinage
of gold and the limited coinage of silver,
and maintenance of the coins of Dboth
metals on an equality., This system of
money prevails throughout the ecivilized
world. Mr, Bryan calls i§ the gold
standard, and stigmatizes it as ‘a
| conspiracy against the human lacs.’ On
‘the day on which y .urletter was written
‘he left us no standing 1n the party even
as voters. He is reputed in the papers
to have said in Knoxville on the 16:h; ¢lf
there is any one who believes " that the
‘gold standard is a good thing, and that
it ought to be maintained, I warn him
not to cast his vote for me.
“To whatever result our own reflec
tions might have led us, this outlawry
seems to invest us with the privilege of
voting or not voting this year, as our
own conscierfte dictates, I am, eir, very
respectfully, H. G. TURNER.

Trying to Fool the People,
From the LaGrange Graphic,
Major McKinley in his letter of accept
ance says that ‘‘free coinage of silver
would not make farming iess laborous or
more profitable It would not start a
factory or make a demanl for an addi
tional day’s labor.,”” Later on he says
that if elected he will labor'ts bring
about an international agreement. Now
if free coinage will not make labor more
profitable, or create a demand for an ad
tional day’s work, why in the name of
sense does he want it by national agree
ment? "I it will do no good why does
he want to go to the trouble of having
an international agreement? Mr McKin
ley is trying to fool the people,

- WRIGHT WAS WRONG.
Marshal Loyless of Sasser Catcln;s a Noto
: rious Cow Thief.
From the Albany Herald."
Mr. J. A. Loyless, the marshal of Sas
ser, with a pack of dogs, tracked a cow
thief all the way from Sasser to Albany
yesterday, And when the thief was
caught he proved to bo Owen Wright, an
old offender, who seems to have a 2 mania
for stealing cows.
Mr. W. A. Broadway, who lives six or
seven miles southwest of this city, miss
ed one of his cows early yestegrday morn
ing, and found unmistakable evidence of
the fact that the cow had been roped and
led off. He tracked the cow and thief to
Sasser, where he learned that the cow
had been sold to Mr. ¢, C, Brim for
seven dollars, -
M:. Brim and the marshal of Sasser
suspected that perhaps the co¥ might be
stolen property, and they made the ne
aro from whom she was purchased give
bis name. Hegave them his right name,
Owen Wright. . .
When Mr. Broadway reached Sasser
and identified his cow the thief was
gone, but Marshal Loyless soon put a
pack of dogs on his trail. The dogs
broughtthe trail into this city, where it
was lost, but the officers here were put
on tLe lookout for Owen Wright, and
about 4 o’clock Deputy Sheriff Godwin
antl Policeman Raley found him. He
was in Jampbell’s barber shop on Broad
street having his hair cut, :
Owen Wright is an old offender, and
his weakness seems Lo be for cow sreal
ing. He has but recently been released
from the penitentiary, where he scerved a
term for cow stealing.
PEEK’S ATTACK ON LIVINGSTON.
He Says the Wary Cougressman Stole a
Horse and Wagon.
The papers say that Colonel L. F,
Livingston has issued a challenge to
Colonel W. L. Peek, his populist oppo
nent for congressional honors in the
fifth district, for a joint discussion of
the issues involved. Several days ago
Col, Peek, in a speech at Conyers, made
a chargethat Col. Livingston had allowed
his poscoffice frank to be used by the
Seaboard - Air Line railroad, and had
made $lOO,OOO out of the transaction, by
aiding the Seaboard to get a big mail
contract when the reweighirg of the
mails was in progress saeveral months
ago. e has also made some other sen
sational charges, it is said, one of which
wage that Colonel Livingston, during the
war, had s‘olen a horse and wagon,
Nhen this information was breught to
the attention of Cologel Livingston
bhe at once sat down and wrote
Colonel Peek to meet him at Conyers
a week hence and make the charges
to his face. If Colonel Peek accepts the
challenge there will be a lively political
serap,
