Merciless Soldier
GENERAL WEVLER.
“The Butcher,” the name which he
earned by his cruelties In Cuba, whom
King Alfonso of Spain depends upon to
strangle with his iron hand any at
tempt at revolution in Spain. Grave
fears for a civil outbreak are felt in
Spain not only because of the success
ful uprising in Portugal, but on ac
count of the fact that the 13th of this
month is the anniversary of t£e execu
tion of Professor Ferrer, who was uni
versally beloved by the people as a re
publican and advocate of civic liberty.
He was executed as an inciter of an
archy following the Barcelona riots of
a year ago. The putting of General
Weyler in full charge of military prep
arations is another firebrand throufn
among the people, who regard Wey
ler as a merciless tyrant.

WARSHIPS’ GUNS SAVE
LISBON FROM LAWLESS
Psriar—-Lisbon, seething with an-'
archy, was saved from a night of horror
only by the frowning guns of the for
eign fleet of warships in the harbor,
according to reports from Portugal’s
capital early today. With decks cleared
fpr action and ready for actual war
conditions, the warships and cruisers
anchored off the Portuguese capital
menaced the city with their great can
non thru the entire night and sternly
promised td scourge the fanatics and
lawless element among the republi
cans with a rain of shells If they
threatened lives and property In the
city.
Earlier in the day another report had
It that the/mobs had gained the upper-
hand, and had fired a portion of the
city. Inflamed by a taste of mob rule,
the marauding ruffians of the capital
city and the radicals among the revo
lutionists sought to continue their dep
redations. The only taste of power
which the mobs had enjoyed was in the
storming of monasteries and convents
when the republican soldiery was un
able to overcome the looters.
According to another report from
Lisbon, the reactionary movement had
acquired such strength that foreign In
tervention might be necessary. It
would seem, according to these ad
vices, that the government started to
disarm its troops too soon. Relying
too much on the theoretical side and
too little on the practical, It had dis
missed a large part of Its army.

stricken area with orders to shoot all
lodters on sight; on the American side

Guard was split up in detachments for
police duty. The guardsmen were in
structed only to make arrests and as
sist In the relief work.
The meager details which came out of
the Hying inferno today brought noth
ing but stories of death, disaster and
suffering. Stories of human suffering
were beyond conception. Men and
women refugees who had fled to -this
city, to Rainy River, to Warroad or to
International Falls were nearly Insane
from fear and the ghastly sights they
had witnessed.
